Converting (Klance)

Chapter 2//Texting

As I laid in bed playing my Sudoku, I got a text from, none other than, Keith.

I blushed at the sight of his text message.

My Chicken (11:40PM): Hey Lance! This is Keith, Hunk, Pidge, and Allura's guitar tutor.

Me (11:40PM): Yeah, I remember you. We met awhile ago, but didn't really talk after.

My Chicken (11:41PM): You're the only one I don't know personally.

Me (11:41PM): Is that the only reason you're talking to me? Just to know me?? Trying to expand your friend list??

My Chicken (11:42PM): I'm trying too but not in the way you think. I don't have many friends, so Hunk is trying to get me more. I know most of his friend circle but you. Besides, you're pretty interesting.

Me (11:43PM): Thanks I guess?

Me (11:45PM): I'll make a deal with you.

My Chicken (11:50PM): Yeah? I'm down. What is it?

Me (11:51PM): We have to text everyday from this moment on, or else I won't tell you anything about me.

My Chicken (11:59PM): Alright, sounds like a deal.

Me (12:00AM): We can start tomorrow. Goodnight Keith.

My Chicken (12:00AM): Goodnight Lance.

I hugged my phone. At least we'll text each other everyday. Just what I've always wanted.

The Next Day!

I woke up to my mom singing Mexican songs downstairs. She's probably making us breakfast.

I walked out of my room. I heard Alex crying in my sisters room.

She was always was a deep sleeper. Sometimes I thought she was deaf.

I quietly opened the door and when Alex saw me he stopped crying. "Hey buddy!" I whispered.

I got Alex from his crib. I started walking him back and forth, calming him down.

"Land! Land!" He screamed. "Hi Alex." I chuckled. I walked downstairs to greet my mother.

She waved but she didn't stop dancing or singing. Alex started to babble made up words to match the song.

I sat him down in his high chair and he starts laughing at his grandma who's dancing till her hips hurt.

After I was done pouring my cereal, I joined in for awhile. Alex enjoyed this but I was rusty so I had to stop early.

Then my phone vibrated.

My Chicken (11:40AM): Good morning Lance.

Me (11:40AM): Mornin' Keith!

My Chicken (11:41AM): So what are we going to talk about?

My Chicken (11:42AM): I'll ask something I'm interested in you and you do the same for me.

Me (11:43AM): Okay, you go first since you suggested it.

My Chicken (11:44AM): What's something you hate being called? Like a nickname or something?

Me (11:44AM): I hate being called Landon. My stupid sister used to call me that before she...

My Chicken (11:47AM): Landon? That's unique. You don't need to tell me if it's too personal, I don't want to force anything.

Me (11:48AM): No, we are supposed to get to know each other right? My sister Violet called me that, before she disappeared with her son.

My Chicken (11:49AM): It sucks to lose someone so close. I'm sorry to hear that Lance.

Me (11:50AM): It's alright, it was years ago. The thing I'm interested about you is where do you volunteer?

My Chicken (11:55AM): I never had parents, they gave up on me since I was born. I was raised in an orphanage. I never had a permanent household either. So when I could fend for myself and was released from that place, I promised the little kids I was close to I would visit. So I volunteer at my old home, basically.

Me (11:56AM): Wow Keith. I never would've guessed.

My Chicken (11:57AM): You are going to the thing today at noon right?

Me (11:57AM): Yeah why?

My Chicken (11:58AM): Why don't I see you here then?

Me (12:00PM): HOLY MOLECULE! I'll be there in a couple of minutes! Tell Hunk not to worry!

I shut off my phone and ran upstairs to quickly change and grab my keys.

I ran back down and kisses Alex and Mamá goodbye. "Tell Veronica I love her Alex kay?" I shouted. He laughed.

I got into my car as fast as I could and booked it to Hunk's house.

I got there 10 minutes late. Their rule was if you were late then you would have to do push-ups to the number of minutes you were late.

I had to do 10 easy push-ups. I had some upper body strength so I was doing them with ease.

I then sat on the couch with Keith while everyone else was chilling on the floor.

I haven't ever been this close to Keith.....ever.

"My mom made cookies! Eat away!" Hunk exclaimed, shoving the tray towards all the guests.

"My parents cookies are definitely the best though." Pidge countered. Then Allura started to butt heads with both of them.

Keith looked uncomfortable.

"I'll be back, I'm going to call my friend back." Keith said, leaving the room.

Everyone was fighting about their parents until it hit me a couple minutes later.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom." I said, getting up and going to find Keith.

I heard sobbing coming from the guest room.

I knocked softly. "Hey Keith, it's Lance." Keith sniffed. "Its only you right?" He asked.

I chuckled. "Yes, only me." I replied. "Then come in."

I opened the door to see a crying Keith sitting on the bed.

I walked over to him and wiped his tears with my hand. He laughed and thanked me.

"I know why you're here. You feel out of place and uncomfortable with them talking about something you never had." He nodded to my statement.

He stood from the bed and gave me a hug. He was shorter than me but not by too much. I hugged back, clearly blushing my butt off.

"Thanks for giving me the support I never got as I grew up." He said before letting go of me.

"You ready to go back out?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm ready!" He exclaimed.
