Lance had left the room after a while but Keith still hadn't changed his expression and neither had his train thought changed its course, he was still thinking about what he had done, no. He wasn't the victim here, nobody was in fact, it was just that stupid little bug that had caused all of the weird lovey-dovey things and made everyone uncomfortable. Keith crossed his arms and nodded at the thought "Maybe some resting will help me analyze this further" he shrugged as he discarded his jacket and belt, placing them at the foot of his bed, he laid down, thinking about what Lance had said to him, again, he honestly wished he would have taken the Spanish course at the garrison, but then again, the French one had caught his eye "I don't even remember how to say 'hello' in French!" Keith chuckled to himself as he softly facepalmed. He was finally drifting off into sleep, comfortably tucked inside of his space bed when he heard loud frantic knocking outside his door. "Uuuugh!!" Keith groaned "Can't an edgy teen get his good nights rest?!" He exclaimed as he hid his face under the covers "It's about Lance!" a familiar voice exclaimed. Needless to say; he didn't hesitate, Keith was out of his covers in under a second and opening the door "What about him?" he panted "We found a cure!" Pidge exclaimed.
"You did?!" Keith replied amused "Yeah I just said I did!" Pidge screamed "Ow, jeez, alright gremlin you don't have to shout it, I get it, jeez," Keith said covering his ears wincing at the high decibels.
"Sorry but, remember when Coran said that it would last at least a few weeks? Well, we found a way to reverse it!" Pidge eagerly, Keith's face turned into a frown "How?" he asked.
"Well, Hunk and I did a little digging and turns out the main thing that wasn't affecting him was dopamine!" Pidge said "It was a mixture of three with the one sticking out the most being phenylethylamine!" she exclaimed.
"Phenta- what now?" Keith asked her, curious to how she was able to pronounce such a word, Pidge quickly pulled up a hologram of Lance and highlighted his brain 'wow, surprisingly he has one' Keith thought "See this little branch within his brain?" Pidge asked whilst zooming in.
"Yeah, what is it doing?" Keith asked "It's making him go overstimulated, which basically means he is just getting really attracted to you and to you only" Pidge said, then she brought up a few files "See this" she asked highlighting one of them "Rachel" Keith muttered under his breath "Yeah, we also asked him about Allura and no reaction! Nada!" Pidge said "But, we are making a serum to make him go back to his normal hormonal state," she said, "So, he won't be bothering you so much".
"How long till it takes effect?" Keith asked her "Eh, it'll be fast... hopefully" Pidge said writing down some stuff "Do you guys have it ready yet?" he questioned, "Jeez, you really want him to go back don't you?" Pidge asked "But no, we don't have it ready yet, we're still doing some tests so it doesn't turn out to be poisonous" Pidge chuckled a little bit "So you're gonna have to be stuck with the current Lance" she said Keith shrugged "I'm okay with it", there was an awkward pause "You?" Pidge asked her glasses getting covered by the light "Huh?" Keith questioned.
It happened fast, like when you click a light switch and the light immediately turns on? yeah that fast, in an instant Pidge was pointing at Keith, laughing obviously "HAHAHA, y-you? Okay, wh-with Lance Muh-McClain beh-being 5 meters ne-near you?! HAHAHA" She fell down to the ground still chuckling and wheezing, some tears of laughter streaming down her face also had accompanied her "HAHAHA, this is AMAZING" she rolled on the ground a bit more before stopping and taking a big gulp of air.
"hahahaaaa..." Pidge breathed out "I-I can't believe THE Keith Kogane said that" she exclaimed, "What's so wrong about it?" Keith asked not oblivious at what Pidge had said but curious, "Well aside from that you and Lance bicker so much, I wouldn't be a surprise if you didn't replicate his-" Pidge stopped slapping a hand over her mouth "Replicate, what do you mean?" Keith asked "Uhh... m'fraid I can't tell you" she said whilst standing up, dusting her shirt in the process "Why not?" Keith questioned cocking his head to the side in confusion "It's kind of personal..." Pidge fiddled with her thumbs "It would be a... violation of privacy" she finished. With a sigh she tucked her holographic notepad under her arm and started to make a bee-line towards her room, well that was the plan before Keith stopped her "What do you mean by that? Is it really that personal?" He asked, Pidge gulped and nodded, she opened her mouth but in the end, she never did say anything, she closed it and started walking towards her room. Keith stood in the doorway of his room, pondering, what exactly was she talking about? And why is it so important for it to be a violation of privacy? In the end, he shrugged and went to bed once again. His last thoughts before drifting into sleep that day were, what exactly is he going to do after Lance is cured?
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter.
