You're still the one

Part 6

Keith's P.O.V.
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~¥~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
'Hmm.. I wonder what they're talking about?' I think to myself, looking in the direction they went in. "Hey, Keith you ok?" Hunk asked. "Huh, y-yeah I'm fine." I tell him.
"Is this about Lance?" Pidge says smirking.
"What?! Who said anything about Lance?" I say, feeling heat rush towards my face.
"I don't know if you know this, but it's obvious that you like Lance." She says.
"What are you talking about?" I ask; was it that obvious?
"If you want I could try to set you two up, you guys can come to my restaurant, I'll close it for tonight so you can-" "No," I interrupt Hunk. "Thanks for the offer, but no thanks, there is no chance that he likes me back, I can tell he still has Allura on his mind even... even though she's not here.. and last time I checked he's straight, he'll never see me as anything more than a friend." I said sadly, looking down at my feet.
"It doesn't have to be romantic, just at least spend time with Lance before you get sent back on another mission." Hunk says.
"No, I don't want to spend time with him... it will just hurt more when I leave." I tell him.
"So you're just going to spend the rest of your time coupled up here?" Pidge asked.
"Why not?" I reply.
"Then why did you go to his house in the first place?" She asked.
"I don't know, I just!.. I guess I just wanted to see him.. maybe I shouldn't have."
"Keith.." Hunk pauses, I speak before he could continue. "I'm going to see if I can help out around here." I then walk away
Lance's P.O.V.
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~¥~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
"Captain, I need your help with something." One of the Garrison lieutenants come up to Shiro.
"Sure, I'll be right there," Shiro tells him. "Go head back to the others, and don't forget to tell Keith how you feel." He smiles as he leaves.
"Shiro!" I shout. I feel my face heat up.

I walk back to the others and they seem to be having a conversation. "...just at least spend time with Lance before you get sent back on another mission." Hunk says.
"No," Keith says, making a pain rise in my chest. "I don't want to spend time with him..." I run off before I could hear anymore, I don't want to, I thought we bonded last night.

I take the car back home.

When I arrived home, I take the keys out of the ignition, get out and lock the doors, I soon hear barking coming from the car; I forgot Cosmo was sleeping in there.
"Sorry, boy." He looks at me with sad eyes, whimpering.
"What's wrong?" I ask him. he then licks my face. I hadn't realized I was crying. I wipe my eyes and my cheeks, trying to smile.
"I'm fine." I tell him, I was lying.

I sneak into the back to the garden, Cosmo following right behind me. I sit underneath a tree and just sat there looking up into the sky, Cosmo laid next to me, whimpering.
"It's all right I'm fine." I tell him.
"You shouldn't lie," Cosmo and I were startled by a familiar voice, my sister, Rachel. "especially to a dog."
"I wasn't-" "I know that look, Lance." She interrupts me. "So, you moved on from Allura?" She asks.
"What? N-no, I-" "Lance," she interrupts me again. "Someone broke your heart, who is she?"
"Look it doesn't matter ok, just leave me alone!" I didn't mean to shout. Seriously what's wrong with me? Rachel sits down next to me. "Lance, I'm your sister, you can tell me what's wrong." I look at her. "I.. I don't know."
"You'll feel better if you talk about... but I can't force you to tell me." She starts to get up. "Wait..." I stop her, I know she's probably right. She sits back down and I let out a long sigh. "I... I've known.. them for a long time, and just started liking them..." I start remembering our time in Voltron, and I feel my heart flutter. "...Actually... I think I've always had.." Then I remember Allura. "I guess I just didn't want to believe that..." I feel my tears roll down my cheeks, I missing Allura, I'm sad that I didn't realize my feelings for Keith.
I love... loved Allura, but... I think I loved them more and I, for some reason, I didn't realize it.
"Didn't want to believe what?" Rachel asked after waiting a while for me to answer.
"I.. I don't know, didn't want to believe I had feelings for... for a guy" I mumble the last part, I don't think she heard me.
"I can't understand you, Lance" She has that look that tells me she knows what I said, she just wants me to repeat it more clearly.
"I... have feelings for Keith, happy?"
"Then why don't you tell him how you feel?" She asks me.
"Wait, what!?" I yelled. "Hold on a minute, that's it, you're not even surprised?" I ask her in confusion.
"Most of us kinda could already tell you were bi." My sister confesses, smiling.
"What?!" I shout.
"Back to the previous conversation, tell Keith how you feel." She tells me.
"I'm not, it's pointless." I tell her.
"You're not even going to try or think about?"
"I over heard him talking to the other members of Voltron, he doesn't want to be around me."
"You once told me it took Allura a long time to actually fall for you, right?" She asks.
"Yeah?" I say wiping the tears from my eyes.
"Then use that same Lance charm you used on Allura, at least ask him why he doesn't want to be around you." I thought about and she was right. "Thanks, Rachel."
"Hey, what are siblings for?" She says as she lightly punches my arm.
