I Love You Keith

Announcements

Lance POV

When we got to the cafeteria, me, Hunk, Pidge, Ronny, Kinkade, James and Keith all sat together. I don't know why, but I couldn't stop glancing at Keith. He looked different. He looked kinda..pretty. Or at least his eyes and smile did. His beautiful, violet eyes. Whoa, wait a minute. Keith I'd a boy. Boys can't be beautiful. Only girls can? What's wrong with me? I must be really tired. "Lance? You good buddy?" I looked up and saw Hunk looking at me worriedly. I smiled "Yeah, I just didn't get enough sleep last night." He nodded, and went back to his conversation with Pidge. Then the lights flickered, signaling the start of the assembly. Iverson stepped up to the podium "Greetings cadets, and welcome back to the Garrison. As you all know, this year you will be exploring the future jobs you wish to have within the Garrison. Some if you will be pilots, other command, others engineers. At the end of the year, the top people in the class will advance to become fighter pilots and other higher up positions. A limited number will make it, so try your hardest. Now, as you know, the Kerberos mission will be launching next year. It is my pleasure to introduce you to the crew. Which will be Mr.Holt, Matt Holt, and Takashi Shirogane Kogane." All three of them stepped forward, and we all applauded. Keith and Pidge were especially happy, since it was their family being chosen. "Congratulations to you three. Also, Shiro and Mr.Adam have decided that, in a few years time, they will be getting married. Give it up for the newly engaged couple." Iverson looked proud on that last part, and many of the students, including me and the others, gave them a standing ovation. "YEAH SHIRO! GET SOME!" Keith yelled, and everyone started laughing. "USE PROTECTION!" Pidge yelled after him, which caused even more laughter. Adam turned pink, and Shiro just smiled. "Please refrain from saying such things." Iverson said, with a grin on his face.

After the assembly was over, we all went to Pidge and Veronica's room. It was surprisingly neat, compared to Ronny's room at home. "Keith, help me set up the game." Pidge ordered,walking over to her desk, Keith in tow. "Wait, what game?" I asked, not talking to anyone in particular. "Her and Keith figured out how to set up Mario Kart." Kinkade answered. "Yeah, we played all the time the last few years." James added "Is that why you came in late a lot?" I asked Hunk, who nodded "Yeah, he watched Kinkade and Pidge's epic showdowns. They can easily beat us all." James said, a smile on his face. "Its not my fault that you all suck at Mario Kart." Kinkade said with a shrug. Keith gasped "My feelings! They've been hurt!" And he feel dramatically, landing in James's lap. "Oof. Keith get off me." Keith just smiled and stayed put. He had a nice smile. Lots of people have nice smiles. I don't see Keith smile often. "Haha! Victory!" Pidge exclaimed, holding up a controller "Who's ready to get their ass kicked at Mario Kart?" I smirked "Five bucks I can best you Pidge." She grinned "You're on." We grabbed the controllers and got ready. The first and second laps we were neck and neck, then she blue shelled me. "Aw, Pidge no fair." "Eat it Lance." I frowned and tried to speed up. I got a mystery box, and was delighted to receive some red shells. I smirked and threw them all. Pidge spun out just before she reached the finish line, and I passed her. "What? No! FUCK!" She screamed, while I smiled. "Eat THAT Pidge. You owe me five bucks." She frowned and handed me the money. "Nice job Lance." Someone said over my shoulder, and I turned to find Keoth leaning on me. I smiled "Thanks Mullet." He rolled his eyes with a smile "No problem Loverboy." 

We had a Mario Kart tournament, with Kinkade winning by a mile. Then Pidge and Ronny pulled out some chips,and Hunk pulled out some cookies. "Ooh, gimmie!" Keith said the second Hunk pulled them out. "Haha, no. You'll eat them all." Hunk said with a smile. "Yeah, and I have to share a bathroom with you." James said, and Keith pouted. "Bully." James smirked "Yeah but you love me anyway." Pidge and Veronica's eyes lit up "Well yeah, you're my best friend in the world." Kinkade looked offended, and Pidge and Ronny frowned "Keith! I thought I was your best friend!" Keith shrugged "Sorry." Then I remembered something "Hey, I have some sodas in my room. Does anyone want some?" they all nodded. I stood and stretched "Alright, well I'm gonna need someone to help me get them all.? Keith stood up "I'll help you." I nodded "Alright, let's go." Was it just me, or did James look sad that he was leaving?  I led Keith to me and Hunk's room and pulled out some of the sodas. "Here." I said, handing him a six pack of Cokes. "Thanks. Hey Lance, why are you being nice to me and James all of a sudden? I thought you didn't like us." I shrugged, picking up my own six packs. "That's in the past. And we'll probably have a lot of the same classes, so I figured that we should be able to get along. And I was an asshole and needed to apologize. I'm sorry, by the way, for what I said when we first met." He smiled at me "No problem. I'm sorry too, I wasn't the nicest either." I smiled back "I think we're even."
