Freckles

God damn why won't they scrub off?

I wash my face trying to scrub away my dreaded freckles.

I hate them I hate them I hate them.

I usually put makeup on them but tonight I hit my breaking point.

It's not fair! Why dont the others have freckles? Why am I the freak?

I finally give up and sit on the floor crying.

After a while I calm down and dry my tears. Next I look in the mirror. Bad mistake. My eyes were red and my face had red marks were I was clawing at. They should go away soon It shouldnt scar over or anything.

I quickly put on some make up to hide the marks and freckles. Then I heard a knock at the door.

"Hey lance," it was Keith's voice ", its breakfast time." And with that I heard his foot steps get further from the door.

I put on some new clothes and my signature hoodie. I walked out of my room and headed towards the kitchen.

When ever I have time I try to help Hunk with cooking. I'm pretty bad at it so I mostly just keep him company.

"Hunk, my bud, what are you makin'" he looked up at me.

"Oh hey, I'm making pancakes. I dont really need help today it's pretty easy. You can sit with the others."

"Oh...okay cool have fun." I walk out into were the table is and sit down with every one. I didn't talk all through out breakfast.

I k1ept thinking bad to this morning and the horrible things on my face.

Before I even knew it I was in the training room blasting robots with everyone.

After training I heard Keith call after me as everyone else walked out.

"Lance? Is something up? Your acting different. I'm- I'm getting worried."

Keith worried? About me?

"You're worried about me? Why?" He looked me in the eyes and walked forward a little.

"Its because I like you. More than a friend way."

"Why would you like me? Of all people? Im ugly you haven't seen me with it make up its horrible. All the freckles clustered on my face. Its horrible, Keith! Horrible!" Tears are now streaming down my face at a rapid rate. Keith walked a little closer and I backed away.

"I can't help you if you don't let me, Lance." He got closer and I didn't move. We were a few inches away when he closed the gap when he hugged me.

He let go and looked up at me.

"Let's get you to your room." He took my arm and pulled me in the direction of my room and so I followed.

Once we got to my room he told me he was gonna shower and he suggested I do the same.

I walked into the bathroom and striped down. I got in and lost the warm water fall onto my shoulders.

Mmmmm. This feels so good.

I put a bit of coconut shampoo on my hair and rubbed it into my hair. I washed my body and then stayed in the shower for a bit thinking.

I stepped out onto the cold bathroom tiles and wrapped a towel around myself. I take a quick look at the mirror and I see my freckles. The only good thing was that the marks disappeared.

I dried off and put on some clothes. I walked into my room. To my surprise keith was there.

"Hey lance I dont wanna be rude or anything but I wanted to-" he got side tracked when he saw something.

"What is there something on my face?" I said jokingly. That when I remembered.

I didn't put on makeup. He came see my freckles. He can seE MY FRECKLES.

My hands shot up to my face trying to cover it.

Keith got up from my bed and walked towards me. He softly took my hands down.

"Lance," he said in awe ", they're beautiful."

"W-what?" I said very confused.

"They look like the stars, they are so beautiful. Lance you shouldn't hide this from anyone." He paused for a minute.

"Lance we should probably get to bed so we can wake up for early training." Just as he was about to leave I said "Please stay."

"Oh okay I'll grab a blanket and pillow for the floo-" I cut him off

"No you can sleep in the same bed. After all you do like me, love boy lance." He let out a small laugh.

"You should laugh more often. amazing."

"As long as you dont wear make up sometimes." I froze up at what he said.

And have everyone else know about my horrid freckles?

Keith pov

Shoot I over stepped oh shit.

"Hey," I began ", you dont have to, but I think you should."

He looked at me again.

"O-okay. Tomorrow I won't wear make up."

"Good. I love your freckles." I escomo kissed him. He laughed and it made me feel warm inside.

"Why not the real thing, keith?"

He leaned in and we held a sweet kiss.

I love those stars on his face. He's so beautiful.
