Finding you (soulmate au and mute! Lance)

Keith {2}

-B E E P B E E P-

I hit the alarm before gaining the will to get out of the comfort of my bed. Well, not will, per say, it's just that I don't want to get tackled by my older brother and his friend.

I get my outfit for the day, a pink tee, red and white sweater, black jeans and my black and red fingerless gloves. I get changed before heading down to the kitchen.

I moved in with my stepbrother, Shiro, who happens to be a teacher at my school, so our parents don't live with us.

"Awe, I wanted to tackle you." Shiro says with a pouty face. "Good morning to you too." I grumble. "Where's your buddy?" "Oh, you mean Matt? He is taking a shower." He says back to his usual self. "Also, Matt's younger sibling, Pidge, I think that's what he called them? Will be attending your school. Maybe you two can be friends?" He says with hope lacing his voice. "Eh, maybe. I doubt it though." I say, mumbling the last part.

"Hey Keef!" Matt says while walking down the stairs. "I told you to stop calling me that, Holt." I sneer at the technology teacher. "Whoa, calm down there, no need to get your panties in a twist." Shiro says while Matt starts busting up laughing. I roll my eyes at them.

"PIDGE! I forgot I promised them a ride! Hopefully they took it upon themself to ask Lance or Hunk." Matt says. "I'm sure they did. Pidge takes after yourself and your father, they're a smart one. I'm sure they're fine." Shiro says reassuringly.

'Wait, do they mean Lance McClain and Hunk Garret? The mute and the cook?' I thought. 'No way.'

"Well, we better get going or else we are going to be late. And we don't want that, do we, K E E F ?" Matt teases. "Shiro, I'm going to kill your friend." "You can't do that, that's murder." Shiro says wearily. "Oh, I wasn't asking for your permission, I was just telling you before hand, so if you find Holt behind the school dead, covered in blood, you know who did it." I say in full seriousness. "Heh, heh. AHHHHHHH." Matt says before running out to the car, locking all doors behind him.

I look at Matt, then Shiro before I start laughing. Shiro starts snickering while walking to the car. "Open the door Matt, Keith was just joking around." He says with a chuckle. "Nuh uh, no way, not doing it. I am NOT risking my life, I still have so much I wanna do!"

After ten minutes of arguing and reasoning, Matt finally opened the doors and we were on our way to school.

Time squip to when they get to school

"Now, no getting into trouble on your first day, Keith. I can't deal with another lecture from the principal." Shiro says to me. "Yeah, yeah, I'll try." I mumble. Shiro smiles at me sadly before his name gets called by Matt. "Shiro! Come on! We promised-" Matt gets cut off by some boy behind him.

"Hey Matt, I mean Mr. Holt." The boy says. "Hey Hunk, where's Pidge and Lance?" Matt questions. "Here we are! Hi Matty!" What looks like a gremlin says. "Hey Pidge." Matt then does something with his hands, I think ASL? Maybe? I don't know.

"I guess I'll get going, bye Shiro." I say with a little wave. "Wait!" I turn around to look at my older brother. "Why don't you say hi?" He says, his voice frantic.

'Should I humor him? Ugh, not those ugly ass puppy dog eyes, he really sucks.'

"Fine, hello everyone, and goodbye." I say with a slight sneer. "Oh, come on Keith! Can you stay and have a normal conversation?" Matt says. He even used my real name, why do the two of them sound so frantic? And I know I may act like I don't like Holt, but he isn't half bad, I consider him like a second brother, considering he is almost always at our house, he might as well move in!

"Hi! Keith, was it?" I nod. "I'm Pidge, and this is Lance." They elbow Lance, as to tell him to say hi. He looks at them with pleading eyes, but then the pleading turns into mischief. He signs, I think, to Pidge before they sigh in defeat. "You don't happen to know ASL, would you?" I shake my head no. "I don't."

"Damn it." They mutter.

I was about to ask what they meant, but I was cut off by the warning bell.

"Keith, why don't you sit with us at lunch?" Hunk offers. "Umm, I-" Shiro is giving me a mix between a pleading look and a death glare. "Sure, I guess." From my peripheral vision, I can see Lance and Pidge talking through ASL, and Lance looks desperate.

I wonder why?
