I open my eyes, stretching for my phone. No notifications. I sigh as my dog Kosmo plays with his stuffed cloud. I change out of my pajamas and pick up Lance's note with his phone number written on it.

I put Lance as a new contact and messaged him. I walked downstairs as the smell of bacon and eggs fill my senses. I look at the dining table to see Allura, Curtis, Shiro, and Coran greeting me and continued their conversation about their jobs. Allura was the Science teacher at my school while Curtis was the Vice Principal. Shiro is a pilot and Coran engineers spaceships. I nibble on toast as I get a notification from Lance.
"Shiro, Lance is coming over for our art project!" Shiro nods and begins to find out more about Lance from Curtis. Mean. I go back upstairs after feeding Kosmo and put my headphones on and listened to Clairo. I began to read comics while eating strawberry Pocky. I heard my door open and turn my head to see Lance.

"Hey" I point to a white beanbag chair for him to sit on. "So we have to get to know eachother to complete the assignment right?" I nod, I was nervous. I never had anyone over other than Pidge and Matt. "I'll start. I'm Lance McClain, I'm 18, single, I like Jon Bellion, Music, I play bass, I got a lion tattoo on my back, I smoke half a pack of cigars each day" My eyes went wide realizing I've been paired with a delinquent. "Your turn."
"Well, You already know my name, I'm 17, I love music, I only have one friend, and um.." I get lost in thought realizing there's nothing interesting about me, Wow I'm so bad at this. He grins, "It's okay. Music is one thing we have in common" I nod, "Why do you smoke? Also didn't you have a girlfriend yesterday? What kind of bass do you have" I closed my mouth fast with a flushed face.
"Well I smoke to let out some stress, I broke up with her cause she cheated on me, I have a Fender Deluxe Bass." I nod, "You should stop smoking, It's bad for your lungs, and your ex girlfriend is a bully!" He laughs, "Yeah I really need to stop going for girls and boys who don't have the trust to stay in a relationship, Most people think I'm a player but really I can't find the right one." I nod slowly.
I pass him some Pocky as he looks confused, "It's a snack, eat it!" I said with a bright smile. He bites off a piece and we began to talk about how to paint our canvas with things related to music. "What's your sexuality?" I look up at him and get off the floor to pick up paint brushes. "I don't know, I never been in a relationship before. I know I don't prefer girls though" I never told anyone about that except to Pidge. and I don't even know if I can trust Lance.
I check the time realizing it was eight PM. "I won't tell anyone about this by the way" Lance said while we finished the painting. "Thank you, Don't you have to head home?" Lance shakes his head, "Can I stay?" I look at him, "Yeah my brother will be fine with it" I turn around and began to put the paint supplies away as I look back at Lance with his shirt off.
"Is this okay? I'm staying in my sweatpants, I just don't like wearing shirts while sleeping" I stutter out a yes as my face turns red. My eyes traced over the lion tattoo on his chest and I turned around to go to the bathroom to change into shorts and a sweater. "I can get you some blankets and pillows from my brother's room"
The rain has been getting worse since Friday, I thought as I set down the blankets and pillows for Lance. I lay down on my bed and began to pull the cover over my body, The sound of thunder boomed throughout the town. I was shaking and began to cry as I held in the whimpers. I felt something get on my bed and put their arm over my waist. "It's okay, It'll pass" I relaxed in his arms.
"Why are you so nice to me?" I said softly while staring at the wall. Lance whispered into my ear, "I want to protect you, I want to make you feel safe and loved." I slowly fall asleep as the thunder and rain faded.
