I Love You Keith

Two Months Later....

James POV

It's been three months since Shiro and the Holts left, and it was an, uh, rough adjustment period. The first two weeks were the hardest. Adam was really sad all the time, and Keith was unusually quiet. Instead of talking, he would just cling to me, like he was afraid that I would leave too. Then, something clicked. He was back to his normal self, and so was Adam. I think it was because they started getting mission repots and video logs. The Garrison had the astronauts sending video logs of the day to day going-ons. With their connections to the crew, they got to see parts of them. Nothing important, just glimpses of what they were doing, like joking around. It wasn't much, but it showed that they were okay, which was enough for them.

Today we had only three classes, but they were special ones. Iverson and Admiral Sanda would be watching us in our flight, driving and combat classes. The combat classes made no sense to me. What? Did they think that there were aliens who were going to attack us? But it was fun. And Keith was really good at it. And we had to workout clothes for it, and Keith like tight shorts. And I REALLY enjoyed watching him perform, if you know what I mean.

Flight Simulator

Iverson set the simulators to infinite levels, which basically meant you kept going until you messed up. The kids at the bottom of the class went first, Hunk being among them. He got booted out after 10 or so levels, and looked relived when he was. "That thing still makes me sick." Then Lance, Ina and Rizavi went. They all made into the 30's before failing. I was next. I took a deep breath then started the simulator. I got to 47 before crashing. Keith gave me a reassuring smile "You did great James." Next up was Kinkade. He got to 59 before a last minute turn screwed him over. "Yeah Kinakde!" I said "Dude, that was great!" Rizavi said, agreeing with me. He smiled "Thanks." Next up was Keith. "Good luck babe." He smiled at me "I don't need luck. I have skill." Lance chuckeld"Yeah, sure." Keith's eyes narrowed. "Watch me." He got in the simulator and quickly went through levels 1-60. Around 70 you could see him stuggiling, and at 81, he failed. But he still had beaten everyone else. He got a round of applause, and an approving smile from Iverson. "Nice work Kogane. You might be better than your brother." He smiled proudly "Thank you sir." "Yes, I'm surprised. That was very good work for such young recruits. Especially those last five. Outstanding work. I look forward to seeing you in the fighter class next year." Admiral Sanda said with a smile. Me, Keith, Kinkade, Rizavi and Ina  silently rejoiced. The admiral had said that we were "Outstanding."! We were practically guaranteed a spot in that class now. Hunk celebrated with us, while Lance just stood silently, glaring at the ground.

Driving

We went in alphabetical order for this one. Me and Ina weren't too good at this, but we could successfully complete the course without crashing. Kinkade, Lance and Rizavi seemed to revel in the speed, always going as fast as they thought they could without crashing. Keith, just like in the flight simulator, showed off a bit. He completed the course in record time, then did a few flips and tricks before Iverson stopped him. "That's enough Kogane. You may be able to pull those tricks with Shrio, but this bike is the property of the Garrison. I can't have you crashing it." But he was impressed. "James, you didn't tell us your boyfriend was so good at this!" Ina said excitedly. "Yeah! What else aren't you telling us?" I just smiled "I know, right? And there's a few things I'm not telling you." Keith walked up to us "What can I say? I'm a nautral. and I learned from the best." Kinkade chuckled "For now. Even Sanda thinks you're better than Shiro already." Keith smiled "Really? Wow. But yall guys were great. You're really getting the hang of it. I might have to watch out. I can't have you guys beating me." The others laughed. But again, I saw Lance in the corner, sulking. But I brushed it off. He had a big ego. He just couldn't stand the fact that someone might be better than him at something.

Combat 

This class was no different. Keith was better than Lance. We did sparring matches, one on one. But  Rizavi and Veronica were scarily good at fighting. When asked why, they both just shrugged "I have 3 older brothers." Rizavi said. "And I have a bunch of little cousins. You learn a thing or two about handling rowdy people." I put my hands up defensivley "Remind me not to make you guys mad." When it came down to the last three for boys, it was me versus Kinkade. He gave me a solid ass wooping, which I took gratefully. Next up was him and Keith, and I liked watching my boyfriend spar. They circled each other predatorily, and me and the others watched them. Rizavi leaned in and whispered "You're staring at his ass, aren't you?" I nodded "I'm staring at his ass." She just smiled and shook her head. Then, Keith attacked. He lunged forward, trying to tackle Kinkade. But he wasn't strong enough. Kinkade some how twisted him around and pinned him on his stomach. "And we have a winner! Very nice work Kinkade! Looks like you'll have to up your game Kogane." Iverson said with a smile. Admiral Sanda wasn't there. Kinkade helped Keith up "I got you beat at something buddy." Keith rolled his shoulders "Yeah, you got me. That was cool though. Where'd you learn that?" Kinkade smiled "I have a brother, and we used to be obsessed with WWE. We'd try out moves all the time." I clapped him on the back "Dude, that was amazing! You have to teach me that!" Veronica smirked "Yeah, I'm sure you'd love to pin Keith down."

My eyes widened, and I felt my face heat up "Veronica!" Her and the others laughed "What? We were all thinking it." Keith nodded  "Yeah. I have to agree with her on this one." I raised an eyebrow "Oh, so you're saying that you'd like to be pinned down?" Keith smirked "Maybe." Kinkade groaned "Ugh. If you guys are gonna fuck, do it somewhere else. I'd like to retain what innocence I have." I smiled "Of course. Wouldn't want to ruin that." He rolled his eyes "You know what I mean. Anyway, I'm starving. Let's go eat." Keith nodded "You guys go ahead, I'm going to go shower." "Yeah, me too." Rizavi smiled "Alright, but do it separately." I rolled my eyes and left, Keith following.

When we got to our room I slammed the door shut, pushed Keith against it, and started kissing him. "Hmm, someone's impatient." I pulled back and smiled "Hey, you're the one who said you like to be pinned." He smirked "Well, then why don't you do that?" I smiled "Don't mind if I do." I picked him up and put him on my bed, then crawled on top of him. We started making out, and our shirts came off. I started kissing down his neck when suddenly he stopped me. "Oh no, I am not getting hickies again. Pidge wouldn't stop teasing me for weeks." I sighed "Fine." and climbed off of him. "I'm gonna shower. Wanna join me?" He smiled at me from the bed "Not this time,but thanks." When I got into the bathroom, I started silently panicking. He had insinuated that he would join me someday. Its crazy how after all this time, he still finds ways to make me blush, even just by smiling. I sighed. Keith was going to be the death of me. But it wouldn't be a bad way to go.
