Calling

"Is it really true that you requested a stay over?"

Keith found himself freezing upon hearing James Griffin ask the question, but even worse he was stuck in the locker room with the one person who tormented him even before he ended up at the garrison. "What of it? And if you're going to say something about my parents..."

"What? You'll sock me like you did during our first year? Real mature Keith."

"I was simply going to say I didn't want to hear it." Keith turned his back on the young man and quickly got dressed into his cadet uniform. He was tying his boot when James clapped a hand down on his shoulder, but he felt like socking the young man in the jaw yet remembered Shiro's advice. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Patience yields focus."

"What?" James let out a sigh. "Anyways, who exactly did you invite? You don't have any family that any of us know about, but last I checked you don't have any friends."

"Yeah. Who would want to be friends with Kagone?"

Keith pushed James' hand away. "It's really none of your business, but how did you find out?"

James stood up straight and let out a deep breath. "Lance. He's saying something about how it was his family you invited, which doesn't make any sense at all"

"Two of them are his cousins."

"Two? You invited more than one?" One of James' eyebrows shot up. His mouth twisted into a deeper frown. "Just a bit of heads up. You're not supposed to invite girlfriends on stay overs, but I doubt Lance would like that."

"Why can't you invite a friend who is a girl? They let girls into the garrison. But yeah, I can imagine he's not happy with that. I'm not sure what his problem is."

"Hey! I heard that. My cousin is also not into guys."

Keith's eyes widened. "Oh yeah. Elena's significant other is a them."

"A what?"

Lance let out a deep breath and walked over. "What is the deal with inviting my cousins? Also, did you really have to invite Elena's girlfriend?"

"Not girlfriend. Them-friend. Or is it they-friend." Keith's eyes widened. "Wait..."

"Say what?"

"You mean you thought..." Keith felt the heat rise to his cheeks. "I'm out of here. We're done for the day, so see ya."

"Has Keith ever stayed at the garrison?" One of the other male cadets asked. "He doesn't have a room at the garrison."

Keith slipped out and hurried to find Shiro, only to find out that Hunk and Lance would be joining them. He found himself glaring at the two. Hunk spoke with Lance but seemed nervous to see Keith around. Lance, of course, glared back the entire time. They waited in the senior lounge while waiting for Shiro and Veronica to return, but instead saw a very exuberant female in a dress.

"This is so exciting!"

Lance narrowed his eyes. "Who are you? Are you Elena's them-friend."

"Okay. Look. I may like guy things and hate the fact my mother dresses me up in these really girly things, but I am and always will identify as a female. Why is it people think that tomboys are transgender, because..."

Keith pointed at her. "She's not Syd. She's a Holt."

"A what?"

Hunk frowned. "How can we tell you're a tomboy if you're in a dress."

"Well, you better not think I can't do everything that you guys can! Because I can!"

"Who is this little pipsqueak?"
