It was the weekend, everyone's favorite time. The weekend was a time of freedom and relaxation. Kids didn't have school and adults didn't have work, so everybody won. What sucked was the fact that it was pouring rain outside. The rain made everything gloomy and sad. Nobody wanted that.

Keith kind of liked the rain though. He liked the sound of it. He liked the smell of it. Rain was just peaceful to Keith. Right now the raven-haired boy was sitting in his room on his bed. He had his earbuds in, listening to soft music surprisingly. Keith stared out his window at the rain. It was just relaxing to watch.

Keith and Lance hadn't said much to each other since Thursday. They smiled at each other in the halls on Friday but that was about it. Keith didn't want to seem attached, so he waited for Lance to come to him. He didn't quite understand what he and Lance had. Did they even have anything? It all confused Keith. It was like one second Lance wanted him then the next second Lance didn't want anything to do with him. Keith just figured it was all in his head and he was reading too far into the situation. Maybe he just wanted some clarification.

Keith was brought out of his thoughts when he heard the door to his bedroom open. He pulled out his earbuds and turned to the doorway. Adam, Shiro's fiance, stood there with a smile. Keith rose an eyebrow at him, expecting him to say something.

"You know, it's not good for you to be stuck up in your room all day," Adam said in a soft voice. He knew Keith kept to himself most of the time, but he still felt the need to try. Keith was distant but that didn't mean Adam didn't care.

"What am I supposed to do?" Keith asked. "It's raining and there's nothing to do inside."

Adam leaned against the door frame. "There's always something to do. Don't keep yourself locked up in here."

Keith just sighed and turned back to the window. There was no winning this, Keith knew that. He didn't want to do anything today. It was the weekend, his time to relax. He didn't have any homework and that was all good news. Keith needed a break anyway.

"Why don't you go see that boy you've been seeing this past week?" Adam suggested.

Keith looked at Adam. How did he know about Lance? Keith didn't tell anyone where he was going for a reason. It was just better that way. He kept his personal life personal. If it wasn't himself then it wasn't anybody's business. "I haven't been seeing a boy."

Adam snickered a little. "You can hide stuff from Shiro but you can't from me. You forget I'm not clueless. Don't think I didn't notice the make-up on your neck, clearly covering something," Adam said with a slight smirk. He knew too much for Keith to outsmart him.

Keith blushed a little. "I don't have makeup on because I have nothing to cover. You're delusional," Keith stated. He looked away from Adam, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Uh-huh, whatever you say," Adam mumbled. He leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms. He didn't expect Keith to tell the truth, he never did. "When I was your age I used to sneak around with boys too. I was smart with it though."

Keith glared at Adam. "As if I'm not? I hide so much shit from you and Shiro. Just cause you figure out one thing doesn't mean I'm not smart."

Adam laughed. He walked closer and sat on the edge of Keith's bed. "I mean, you did just admit to it." Adam smiled, trying not to laugh. He tilted his head back to look at Keith.

Keith's eyes widened. He was such an idiot. How did he not think that through? Keith's face lit up. "S-Shut up," Keith snapped back. By now, he was far more than embarrassed.

"What's his name?" Adam asked. He couldn't help being curious. Adam could talk about Keith's love interest all day long. It was just cute to him.

Keith laid back on his bed. "It doesn't matter," Keith mumbled with a sigh. He and Lance weren't a thing. They just hooked up. Lance had his head too far up his ass to realize he wasn't straight. Keith knew better than to get attached to Lance McClain. Lance was a player, he had no intention of falling in love. Keith knew all of that.
