Keiths POV

Ever since Sunday, It's been a blur, Lance is my boyfriend, and I had my first kiss. Oh my god. Lance is my boyfriend, My first boyfriend, My first relationship. Everything was ecstatic, It was heaven if it was a true place on Earth. Our relationship was private, He planned on revealing our relationship at his basketball game on Friday. Today was the day.

I sit in the backseat of Linda's car as Pidge was in the front passenger seat blasting Tongue Tied, The windows were rolled down revealing the sunset and autumn leaves falling from the trees. We stop at the town stadium, The two lines were packed but luckily we bought tickets online thanks to Pidge bribing their dad.

I look around for Lance's team but I just found the Gallran rival team instead, I decide to sit down with Pidge and Linda. They ended their conversation and Linda went to get pizza and sodas as Pidge turned with a bright smile as she pushed the rim of her glasses up. "What do you think of her? She's so sweet and her smile and eyes shine brighter than the galaxy itself'

"I think shes a good fit for you, She's nice to you and supportive. Plus you guys are adorable together." I said smiling as the game starts and Linda brings back a tray of three cokes and pepperoni pizza in a box.

Halfway through the game, The Garrison cheerleaders failed the pyramid routine as the Gallran High students laugh. I cheer for Lance and Hunk as I realized when Lance was dribbling the ball a tall boy with silver locks in a ponytail took it and made a goal. He was the boy I ran into at the Carnival! "GALLRAN HIGH HAS WON! 20 TO 22"

A girl with black long hair ran towards Lance kissing him on the cheek saying "You did good Babe!" My breath hitched. The noise began to fade as I feel Pidge shaking my arm. I ran out of the stadium as soon as Lance noticed I had watched what happened. My eyes were filled with tears as everything was blurry. I continue to run behind the stadium to get to the park. I run into a strong build as I fall onto the pavement, "I-I-I'm s-sorry!"

I felt a strong arm secure around me, "Are you okay?" I nod as I look up with teary eyes, "T-this is the s-second time I-I've ran into y-you.." He looks at me with solemn look as his callused fingers brushed away my tears. "It's fine honestly, Do you want to go somewhere to relax a bit?" I nod as he takes my hand.

I get into his Mercedes as he closes the passenger door for me, "My names Lotor by the way." I nod with a small smile playing with my hoodie strings. "I'm K-Keith." Lotor gives a teethy grin showing his canines. "I saw you run out the stadium after my team won the game, I know your in Garrison High but I just had to make sure you were okay." I nod looking into his blue eyes.

"Can we go to a tea shop?" I ask as I fidget with my fingers. "Yeah of course, You can tell me what happened there." I smile as he drove to the Cosmic Tea Shop. My pink hoodie was twice my size as the sleeves kept hanging over my fists as my legs dangle over the high chair. I take a sip of my strawberry boba as Lotor looks at me with a smile. I blush slightly looking down at my Hello Kitty bandaid covering my knee.

"At the carnival, My boyfriend, Well not my boyfriend I guess since he cheated on me with one of the cheerleaders, I gave him my first kiss and things were going well but I guess I did something wrong and it overwhelmed me because he was my first boyfriend and it was my first relationship," I said fast paced as I took another sip of my boba.

"I'll beat his ass, It's that boy Lance right?" My head shot up shaking my head, "It isn't really worth it. It's probably a misunderstanding" Lotor looks at me with a frown, "He isn't good for you, You deserve better.." He said looking down at his untouched cookie.

I shrug, "I wouldn't know since he was my first boyfriend." Lotor pulls me into a hug as the scent of wood radiates off of him. I hug back, "Thank you for listening to me.." I whisper as Lotor rubs circles on my back. We exchanged phone numbers as we laugh at memes and talk about our interests. Time passed by as I look outside realizing it was dark out.

Lotor dropped me off as I continued to smile thinking about the conversation, I walked into the house giggling biting my lip. I open my phone noticing Lance's apology message but I just chose to leave him on read. "Well your past curfew." I look up seeing a unimpressed Shiro in his robe and black crocs, "I'll explain tomorrow.. I'm sorry I just had a rough day.." Shiro looks at me with a frown and pulls me into a hug.

I go up to my bedroom and shower. I walk out with shorts and my hoodie as I check my phone seeing a goodnight message from Lotor. I'm glad I made a new friend.
