I Love You Keith

Lance's Suspension

Lance POV

I laid in my bed for hours after I woke up, thinking. Stupid Keith. Stupid James. They're both stupid. It's their fault that I'm in here and not in class. Why'd they have to do that? I was in the perfect position to get away scratch free, and they just HAD to tell Iverson. Stupid Keith. Stupid Mullet.

I heard the door open, and turned to see Hunk walk in. He sighed when he saw that I was still in bed "Lance, you know you're gonna have to leave eventually. Get up. I'm not bringing you meals like I did yesterday. I rolled my eyes and sat up "Why not? If you have time to make Mullet and James cookies, why can't you bring me food from the cafeteria?" he sighed again "Because, Lance, those were "I'm sorry my roommate is being a butt" cookies. And I had been wanting to bake for a while now. You are perfectly able to get out of bed and go get food. It's lunch time, why don't you come sit with me and Pidge?" I rolled my eyes "No. You guys sit with Keith and James. I do't want to see them. It's their fault I'm in this mess." Hunk glared at me "Fine. But at least eat something." I sighed, and jumped off my bed"Finee. I'l grab something to eat. but then I'm coming right back here." Hunk sighed "Fine." We left the room and went to the cafeteria. I tried to run to the lunch line so that I could get my food and go, but my sister spotted me. "Lance" she said, running towards me "What's you problem? Hunk says that you're not moving or eating." I glanced at Hunk, who was already sitting with Pidge. "I am ronny, just not a lot." "Lance, you're already a twig. Imagine what Mami will say if you come home even skinnier. She'll be trying to feed you all day long." I remembered that we got to go home for Christmas break. They call it Winter Break, but they're the same thing. "Fine Ronny. I'll eat." she smiled "Good. Why don't you come sit with us." I scoffed, grabbing a lunch tray "With James and Mullet? No way." she rolled her eyes "One, do't call Keith mullet. Two, they're not even sitting with us. Them and Kinkade are in their room laying Mario Kart." I perked up when I heard that, and grabbed my milk "Mario Kart? They have that here?" Ronny laughed "No, but Pidge hooked it up on Keith's laptop, and they borrowed a projector. We were all in there last night." I frowned "So if I want to play, I'd have to ask Pidge to set it up for me?" "Or, you could apologize to the boys, and play with all of us." I scoffed, grabbing a slice of pizza. "Yeah right. As if I would go in their room. It's probably filthy." Ronny sighed "Lance, I don't know what your problem is with Keith and James, but you need to stop. You don't even know them, and you're already assuming the worst about them." I turned towards her and glared "I know that it's their fault that I'm suspended. That's good enough for me." I stormed off towards an empty table, knowing that if I sat with the others I'd keep getting lectured. I angrily chewed my pizza, and when I was done, I stormed out of the cafeteria and to my room. I hated those guys. Ronny I get, but Hunk too? When would they see that this was all Keith's fault. All of it. Every last part.

-Time skip-

I spent the next two days doing the exact same thing. Sleeping, eating, and not much else. After my suspension was over, I got my new schedule. I had all of the same classes, just in a different order. I walked towards my first class, which was still science, with James. And just my luck, I was stuck sitting next to him too. I walked into class, and could feel eyes on me. Apparently lots of people had heard what happened. Someone had posted a video of it on Snapchat. I kept my eyes on the floor and made my way to my seat. A few minutes later, James walked in and sat next to me. "Hey Lance." he whispered, and I turned towards him. He smiled then told me in a menacing voice "If you hurt Keith again I will beat your ass." I glared at him"You don't scare me." he laughed and said "I know. But Shiro does, and Keith's his little brother." my eyes went wide. "Fine." I growled "It's not like I want to be anywhere near you two anyway." he smirked, and faced forward. The rest of the class went silently. We didn't talk, and when we were done, we messed around on our phones.

For the rest of the day, I didn't see him or Keith at all. At lunch, I sat with Pidge and Hunk, while Ronny and Kinkade sat with James and Keith. They were all smiling and laughing a lot, and it looked like Ronny was telling them a story. Probably about me, I thought, then realized that I could've been any one of out siblings or cousins. Pidge and Hunk started talking about something they were doing in robotics. "-ance! Lance!" I shook my head "What?" "Nothing." Pidge said "You just zoned out for a minute. Hunk asked how your new schedule was going." "Oh. Yeah.It's going good. But I have James right next to me first period, and he said that if I hurt Keith he'd beat my ass. I told him he doesn't scare me, and he told he knows, but Shiro does. So basically, if I mess with mullet, I'll get beat." Pidge nodded "Yeah. And you should be scared of James. He's strong. Keith says that he has the starting of a six pack." I rolled my eyes "Yeah, but he won't do anything. Nothing bad at least. Keith told him in the office that I wasn't worth it. "Well, you're really not." Pidge said. I gasped "What do you mean by that?" she rolled her eyes "Stop being such a drama queen Lance. I mean, that you recklessly teasing him and Keith isn't worth fighting you over." "But why does he care so Much about Keith? They've only know each other for like, a week?" "Because Lance, they're roommates. And because James is just that way. He's not self centered. But you wouldn't know what that is." she smirked "GaSp! Pidge! You wound me!" we continued joking around during lunch, but Hunk stayed suspiciously quiet. "Hunk? You good buddy?" I asked, concerned. He looked at me "It's not Keith's fault you got suspended. You were being an ass, and someone called you out on it." me and Pidge stared at him in shock. Hunk never cusses, and is normally super nice. But then Pidge looked mad "Wait, what do you mean?" Hunk looked at her "Lance has been complaining for the past five days because he got suspended, and he said that it's all Keith's fault." Pidge stared at me "It that true?" I nodded slowly, and she smacked the back of my head "Give him a break Lance, he didn't even do anything to you!" "Owww! I know Pidge. Trust me, Ronny's already given me this talk." "Damm right she has! And I'll do it too if you don't stop complaining about Keith. You have no interaction with him anymore, you'll be fine." I nodded, and we continued to eat our lunch. 

Later that day, when we went to our room after class, I told Hunk "Listen man, I'm sorry for being an ass. I know it wasn't Mullet's fault." he nodded "Thanks Lance. But I'm not the one you should be saying sorry to." " Oh hell nah! I am NOT apologizing to them!" he shrugged "I was worth a shot. Come one, lets get dinner. I'm starving."
