I never felt like love was a real thing.
Not for me anyway.
I always felt like I'd never love anyone properly, like no one would ever love me.
But then I met Lance.
Lance taught me how to love again.
God I sound so cringey.
I never loved anyone after my parents and Jason. I decided that if I were to like someone I would just get hurt over and over again, so I ignored it. However, there was something about Lance that I couldn't ignore.
His beautiful tan skin, perfect ocean eyes that any one could get lost in and he was just a nice guy.
I kissed him. Even though I barely knew him and he kissed back, even though he barely knew me.
And honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I was driving home from Lance's house and as I was driving I saw Jane's car in the driveway of my house. I arched an eyebrow and parked on the side of the street.
I walked into the house, everyone was sat on the couches and there was a single chair in front of them all.
"What's going on?"
"We need to talk Keith." Jane stated, as I sat down.
"About?" I ask.
"Us adopting you." Mel answered.
Shit. I knew exactly what they were talking about. I was turning 18 in October and that means I would be kicked out of foster care, unless I get adopted, which hopefully, would be now.
I nodded. A silence filled the room.
The only sound was my foot tapping against the wooden floor of the house.
"Since you're turning 18 in October you have two choices:" She stated, looking at me. "Stay here with us or move into your own apartment."
I nodded.
I thought for a moment. If I got an apartment I would have to move back to Dallas, but if I did, Lance and I could move in together and he wouldn't be in that abusive state. However, Lance can always sneak through my window if things get too much.
"I'll stay here."
"Great!" Melody replied. Jane chuckled and handed her the papers. She signed them and soon passed them back to Jane, that was it. I was a part of their family.  My family.
Jane got up and gave Melody and Rob handshakes. She then picked me up off my chair and hugged me tightly, whispering: "If you ever need me, y'know my number."
And with that she left.
I sat back down and smiled brightly, looking out the window "Honestly thought that you were giving me an intervention." I state, chuckling softly.
Rob chuckled "Yeah," He replied, shifting in his seat "Jane kinda made things quite dramatic."
I nod "Yeah, she tends to do that quite a lot." I chuckled and stretched.
"Anyway where were you?" Melody asked.
"I was at Lance's." I replied.
"I thought you guys broke up." Shiro said, tilting his head.
"We got back together yesterday."
He nodded "Oh yeah after you-" He wiggled his eyebrows with a smirk on his face.
"Shut it Shiro." I blushed, making Melody and Rob arch their eyebrows.
"What?" She asked.
"It's nothing." I say, blushing madly as Shiro kept being really perverted.
"Keith." Rob said sternly.
"Yeah Keith." Shiro said, mocking his tone. Rob rolled his eyes "Shiro knock it off."
He shut up after that.
"So what was it that you did with Lance?" He asked, leaning forward.
I blushed "To put it simply: we fucked."
"Keith!" Melody gasped.
"What? You asked."
"Could you not use such prude language?" She asked.
I nod. Shiro was dying of laughter "Holy fuck, this is good!" He exclaimed.
"That's what you said to Adam at the cabin." I smirk.
Shiro gave me a dirty look "I will get revenge for that."
I chuckled "Try me." Melody and Rob sighed heavily. "These are our kids."
We all ended up roasting each other for the rest of the night and also sharing embarrassing stories.

After the roast battle I got up and walked to my room to get ready for bed and Skype Lance, Hunk and Pidge about a project we're doing for history. I put a black vest and red pyjama bottoms on before grabbing my laptop, I put Skype on and called Lance.
"Hey babe." I say.
"Hi babe." He replied, adding Hunk and Pidge to the call.
"Because you two are horny ass teenagers and we know you're back together because, well Shiro told us and it's pretty obvious- happy for you guys- we have to have some ground rules." Pidge explained "No sex talk, Hunk is too innocent for that and I don't need you two corrupting him,"
"Memes are allowed, 'cause memes are always allowed. BTS and any other k-pop group are allowed,"
"Keep flirting to a minimum, gay jokes are Gucci and if you're gonna flirt or make any jokes that may corrupt Hunk, do 'em in a different language and Keith please do a cover of Spring Day." They explained.
I nodded "Okay, Gucci." I replied "Lance, me gusta tu polla~" I smirked, making Lance blush madly.
"No demasiado usted mismo~"
(Basically Keith saying I like your dick and Lance replying with not too bad yourself.)

After a long while of studying and singing random BTS, Stray Kids and Twice songs we had all the stuff for our project all we needed to do now was meet up and do it.
Pidge and Hunk had gone offline and it was now just me and Lance, Lance was on the verge of falling asleep.
"Babe, you need to go to sleep." I say, smiling at him.
"No." He groaned "You'll be lonely."
"I have my stuffed animals."
"Not the same, I need to be there." He said, which made my smile brighten.
"I'll think of you."
"I'll dream of you."
Lance smiled and opened his eyes "You're amazing, y'know that, right?" I asked.
"You're amazing-er." He said.
"That's not a word."
"Shut up I'm tired."
I chuckled "Aha! You admit it, you're tired."
"Shut up." He smiled, shutting his eyes.
"Baby please sleep."
"Tell me one of your favourite memories."
I nodded and thought about it for a moment, closing my eyes to do so "It's gotta be my 8th birthday." I stated "So my parents and I did this thing every year on my birthday, we would go out to the fairground out by this beach, it smelt like popcorn and cinnamon buns- which were delicious- I loved it there and since my birthday was in October they'd do a firework show pretty much every day of October and November." I explained "But I didn't know that, so it always felt like the fireworks were for me. I loved it there."
I opened my eyes and looked at Lance who was snoozing away, "I love you baby," I say "So, so much."

Hello dears.
Yes. I am alive.
Sorry for the wait, I've been busy and have had some major writers block.
So again, I apologise.

Love you all.
