I Love You Keith

Breakfast

James POV

I woke up surprisingly early, considering how late I fell asleep last night. I stood and stretched, looking around the room. Keith was still asleep, and I didn't want to wake him. I got dressed and walked out of the room, and began wandering the halls. I eventually ended up outside, on the roof of the Garrison. I had discovered this place my second year at the Garrison, when I was wandering the halls. I found a ladder in a janitors closet that led to the roof. It always had a beautiful view. Almost as beautiful as Keith. I came here a lot to think. Before it was about Keith, and how I would tell him that I liked him. Now, I had to figure out how to hide it. Pidge and the others couldn't know. They would tease us relentlessly, and take lots of pictures. I also had to figure out how I was going to take Keith on a date, and when I would give him the ring from Cornyval. It laid on my chest, over my heart,  on a silver chain. I was going to give it to him at Cornyval, but at the last minute, decided not to. I wanted it to be special, something significant in our relationship. Maybe I could give it to him on his birthday. Or on Christmas. I sat on the edge of the roof and began fidgeting with the ring on my hand. I had rarely taken it off, and if it wasn't on my hand, it was on my chain with the other one. Iverson had sent home a packet with lots of information regarding this school year. We had to be more responsible, more was expected from us, all that stuff, but we also got to have days where we could leave the school on field trips of sorts. We just needed a chaperone.  We could even go to the beach if we had one. Maybe I could give it to Keith then! No, cause then the others would be there. I guess I'd just have to see how it all played out. I stared at the rising sun, contemplating how to give Keith the ring.

Keith POV 

I woke up to any empty room. James wasn't there, and his bed wasn't made. Normally he was obsessed with being neat, and was almost always cleaning up the room. I rubbed my eyes, jumping out of bed. He was probably eating breakfast. ?He was always up really early. I don't know how, but he was. I pulled out my phone and texted him

Kitten- Where u at

Griff-Cafeteria

Kitten-Why u get up so early

Griff- Because I can

Kitten-why

Griff-Because

Kitten- cause why

Griff-just cause

I will never understand why people get up early. We don't even have class until 8. 

Kitten-can u get me coffee

Yes, the Garrison gave us coffee. They realized that most of us didn't sleep much or stayed up really late. It wasn't anything fancy like Starbucks, but it was something. 

Griff-black right

Kitten-plz

Griff-idk how u can drink that

tastes like shit

Kitten-i like it

it wakes me up

That's right plain black coffee for this boy. No fancy stuff, No carmel, sugar or any of that. I drink it to wake up, not for it to taste good.

Griff-just come get it

everyone else is already here

Kitten-is Lance there

Griff-...

yeah

Shit. They were alone together. I had to get down there fats

Kitten-on my way

be nice

Griff-no promises

This bitch. I don't know why he does this. Reaches out and says he'll be nice, then bad mouths him the second he's away. I put my uniform on and headed to the cafeteria. Once I got there, I saw all my friends sitting together in the back. I walked ver and plopped down next to Veronica. "What's up?" "Oh, hey Keith. Nothing much." she answered. Pidge smiled "We're seeing how long it'll be before James and Lance kill each other." I groaned "What happened this time?" Veronica shrugged "Beats me." Kinkade leaned over "When James sat down, Lance asked "So, I'm jackass and a bitch?" and James just stared at him. did something happen last night?" I groaned and hit my head on the table. "He got all mad cause of the game. I told him about how you guys said was bullied after I asked him about it and he got mad. Then he started ranting. "They know who I like. They made us out ourselves in front of Lance." etcetera. Then I got mad at him for overreacting and blaming Lance for everything and he started yelling. I tried telling him it was just a joke, but he was all "I don't care, he's a jackass and a bitch!" and I guess Lance heard. He wasn't exactly quiet." Kinkade and Veronica looked shocked "James yelled at YOU?" Pidge asked, and I nodded "Yeah. I tried telling him that Lance is different and to give him a chance, but that just made him madder. "Hold up. First, James yells at you, then you defend Lance? What's happening?" Kinkade asked. "What? Lance is Veronicas brother and one of Pidge and Hunk's best friends. And he doesn't seem as obnoxious as he did the first year." I said. Veronica smiled at me "Thanks Keith. And James did say that he was going to be nice to Lance." I nodded "Yeah. but I don't get what their problem is. Lance seems fine with him, but James looks like he wants to kill him." Pidge smiled "Maybe they're fighting over you." I felt my face heat up "WhAt?" Kinkade and Pidge smiled "Think about it. Lance is mean to you, James goes berserk. You sit in Lance's lap, he starts yelling." Kinkade said with a smirk "Which can mean only one thing." Pidge said with a smile "They both like you." "No, that can mean many things." I protested. Yeah, I know that James likes me, he told Shiro he loves me. but Lance? I barely know him. He couldn't like me. In that way at least. "Yeah Pidge, I mean, come on. Keith and Lance? They barely talk, it ever." Veronica said, but Pidge kept smiling. Exactly. But they're already defending and talking about each other. And Lance wanted him to sit in his lap." Kinkade nodded "Yeah. They'd be...KLANCE." Pidge shrieked "Yes! That's you guys ship name!" "Pidge, NO!" I shrieked, which got me a few weird looks. "Pidge, that would never happen. It's Lance. My BROTHER." Veronica said, wrinkling her nose "And the only boys he's ever crushed on are stars. Never someone he knows. Certainly not Keith." Pidge shrugged "Anything can happen." I rolled my eyes. "Pidge, no. 

Me and Lance? Not possible."
