I feel like writing something angsty for some reason. I don't know. Hope you enjoy.

Age 6
Lance was swinging at the park. He heard a thump behind him. Lance got off the swing and turned around. A little raven haired boy was on the ground. Three other boys stood over him.

"You're so weak."

"He won't even fight back."

"What a wimp."

Lance ran over and stood between them. "Hey! Back off!"

Lance had authority in the neighborhood. The other kids knew he was in charge.

The boys backed up. They soon took off in a sprint. Lance turned and looked at the boy. He held out his hand.

Keith looked up and saw the most popular neighborhood boy, Lance. He saw his hand outstretched. Keith took his hand and stood up.

Keith smiled. "Thank you."

"Keith! Time to come home!"

"Coming mom!"

Before Lance could say anything, Keith was gone.

Age 13
Lance was nervous. He had this planned. This was the day he would confess to Keith. He picked up his phone and called the contact.

Keith was on his bed reading. A familiar tone went off on his phone. He blushed a little as he picked up the phone.

Lance took a deep breathe. "Hey. Keith?"

Keith heard his soft voice. "Hey. Is something wrong?"

"No no no. Everything is fine. C-could you meet me at the park? I-it's important." Lance rolled his eyes at himself for stuttering.

Keith cleared his throat. "Yeah. I'll be there in a few. See you then." He hung up the phone and went to grab his jacket and shoes.

Lance ran downstairs. "Mamá! I'm heading to the park to see Keith!" "Alright! Be home by dinner!" Lance threw on his jacket and walked out the door.

Keith sat on a park bench. He heard footsteps and looked up.

Lance walked over and sat next to Keith. "Hey um. There's... something I need to tell you." He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.

'Wait, does Lance like me?' Keith thought to himself. "Go ahead." He ushered.

Lance took a deep breathe. "I-I like you. As in, I've had a crush on you for a long time."

Both boys blushed. They leaned in and kissed each other.

Age 16
Lance's phone buzzes. He read the message. 'Can't wait for our date tonight, babe. 😘'

Lance smiled. 'I'll see you there in an hour. Love you.'

'Love you too.'

Lance started to get his tuxedo on.

He did his hair and went to get in his car. His phone rang. 'Takashi'

He answered the phone. "Hey Shiro. What's up?"

"Lance. You're not going to like this. Keith got in a car accident."

"What?! Where is he?!"

"We're in the ambulance."

"Give him the phone! I'm on my way to the hospital!"

Keith was given the phone. "L-Lance?"

"Keith! Stay on the phone with me! Just let me know you're still there!"

Silence. Flat radar. "Keith?! Keith?!!!!"

Crash.

Weeks later
"We honor this ceremony, to Lance McClain, and Keith Kogane. Two young boys. They had so much left to live."

Their friends and family were crying. Their pictures sat next to one another.

"May their lives live on in our hearts."

Oh. That hurt. That hurt badly to write. Why did I do this to myself? Who knows. Have a good day guys, girls, genderbends, and other gendered friends.
