Ocean Eyes

2: Keith

Keith's muscles were burning. He leaned over and tried to catch his breath a bit. After the football season ended last year, the alpha didn't keep in shape. He mainly still worked out sparingly, occasionally going to the gym to lift weights and go on the treadmill, but running 3 laps around his neighborhood was a bit too much at first. But Keith was too stubborn to admit that he was getting slow. He would force himself to run those 3 laps until he wasn't out of breath.

He opened his front door, as both his parents had to work early. His mom was in the kitchen in her pajamas making her and Keith's dad coffee. "That took longer than normal." His mom said as she passed him a water bottle form the fridge. Keith smiled and panted while leaning over the cool marble tile of the island. His mom leaned on her elbows over the surface while she sipped her coffee.

"I stressed myself too long." Keith said as he took a sip of water. his entire family was really sporty. His dad worked out in the morning before he went to work, his mom was on the Color Guard team and just naturally liked to use the workout room they had in a spare room. Keith could use the room but he liked to be there when the sun rised and he loved to have the cool air hit him as he ran.

"Well sweetheart, you haven't been doing as intense workouts as you usually do once the season ended. So of course, you body is a bit out of shape." She said as she ruffled his hair and began making her a bowl of cereal. Her robe was really fluffy and Keith had faint memories of him as a child snuggling into her robe and giggling when they would play.

Keith sighed and put his water bottle down. "I'm gonna go shower real quick. What time is it?" He asked. His mom looked at the stove. "4:30. You gotta leave in about 30 minutes. Better get going." Keith smiled and ran upstairs into the shower. Once he got in the shower he began to wash the sweat off.

It didn't take him long. He got dressed, brushed his teeth and grabbed his bags. Once he got downstairs, his dad made an appearance. His dad was drinking coffee while one of his hands was on his mom's waist. Keith walked up and got his car keys.

"See ya'll later." Keith said as he went to the front door. "Love you!" His mom called. Keith returned the call and went to his car. He turned the car on and turned his music on before he drove to the school.

Keith parked in the student parking and left his gym bag in the car. He walked into the school and to his first class, which was biology. When he sat down he noticed the Lance, the beautiful Color Guard team member, was sitting away from his boyfriend Lotor. Lotor was with a girl, one Keith remembered as Axca. And Axca was a little close to Lotor for Lotor and Lance to still be together.

Keith got up some courage and went up to Lance. "Hey." Keith said. Lance looked up from his phone. He seemed shocked that Keith would talk to him, even though they had talked sparingly. Lance seemed to not know what to do until he softly replied, "Hey."

Keith sighed and scooted closer. Lance tensed a bit. "Wanna come sit with me? It seems Lotor has no intention and an unclaimed omega can get in trouble with some of the douchebag alpha's here." Lance looked at him. Lance seemed to be thinking about it. Keith looked into Lance's eyes, those ocean blue eyes. They were beautiful.

"Sure." Keith hardly heard it, it was said so softly. Keith smiled and offered his hand to Lance. Lance looked at it wearily before putting his hand in and standing with his backpack and phone and followed Keith. Keith saw out of the corner of his eye, seeing Lotor glare at him and Axca trying to get Lotor's attention again.

Lance sat in the seat next to Keith's, which was in between Keith and Matt's seats. Lance set his backpack down next to his chair. Keith didn't want to pry but he kinda had to know what was going on with Lance and Lotor.

"So why isn't Lotor clinging to your side? And why is he with the ugliest bitch on the Color Guard team?" Keith whispered. He heard Lance whimper a bit. He felt baad now. Did he make Lance upset? Already?

"Me and Lotor aren't together anymore. He was cheating on me with Axca." Lance said quietly. Keith growled and glared at Lotor quietly. Lotor didn't even notice, he was too preoccupied with his friends and girlfriend.

Keith took Lance's hand in his. "How about we be friends?" Keith asked. Lance looked at him with a smile. "Sure. Do you wanna hang out with me and my friends? Well they are yours also but me, Katie, Matt, Hunk and Allura are going to Starbucks after school." Lance aske with a smile. Keith smiled at him, loving the way the smile adorned Lance's face.

"I would love too."
