Ocean Eyes

3: Lance

Lance's day was considerably less worse than he thought it was. The star football player Keith Kogane finally became his friend. Lance must be in heaven. What's even better, Keith agreed to go with them to Starbucks for studying and hanging out.

Lance waited with Katie and Matt for the other 3. "You said that Keith became your friend after he found out that Lotor cheated on you with Axca, and now he is joining us to Starbucks?" Katie asked as she put her red hair into a ponytail. She had her Color Guard bag with her like Lance did. All of them had come with friends or with siblings. Matt, Katie, Hunk and Allura had all walked, being in walking distance. Lance had ridden with his brother who was at his girlfriend's house after school. They usually walked to Starbucks, but because Keith had a car that had enough room for them all, they decided to ride with Keith to Starbucks.

Keith, Hunk and Allura finally came out the school talking. Keith had his car keys and he smiled when they came up to Lance. "No practice?" Keith asked jokingly. Lance laughed. "Of course not, if I did then why would i be here?" Keith laughed and they all went to Keith's car. It was a dark red Chevy Tahoe. Lance jumped in the frontseat next to Keith.

As they drove to Starbucks, they all joked around, Keith really joking more. Once they got there they found their favorite table. "You guys go on, Me and Hunk will get the drinks." Keith said. Lance, Allura, Katie and Matt went to their table and sat down. They started plugging in their phones and opening up their computers and notebooks to begin studying. Lance was currently writing notes for American History.

He smiled when he saw his French Vanilla iced coffee in front of him. He looked up and smiled at Keith. "Thanks." Keith smiled and sat next to him and opened his laptop up. It was getting pretty boring until the door to the coffee shop open. A crowd of voices came in and Lance turned around to see Lotor with Axca under his arm.

"Well, seems like Lance found another dick to play with." Axca cackled as her and Lotor came over to the table. Lance looked down, trying not to cry. He had been doing so well. Why did the world hate him?

Keith growled. "Well you certainly like dick so much you have to find a new one every week." He growled at Axca. Lance heard Katie try not to laugh. Axca seemed to be shocked by Keith saying this. Lotor stepped up to Keith. "Do you really want to be with a slut? Lance begged for my dick, probably will beg for you too." Lotor said quietly.

"Just leave. Leave him alone. Go be with your girlfriend and tell your pug to back off or her face will be even more smashed in then it already is." Keith said quietly back to Lotor. Lance watched as they leaned towards each other over Lance's head. The coffee shop was quiet as they waited. Lotor smirked at Keith.

Lotor grabbed Axca and they left the shop. Keith sat down and grabbed Lance's hand. "You okay?" He asked. Lance was breathing heavily, trying to hold the tears down. When he didn't answer, Keith grabbed his hand and pulled him to the bathroom. He heard their friends talk amongst themselves, trying to figure out what was going on.

Keith closed the bathroom door and pulled Lance into a hug. Even though they had been friends for a total of 9 hours, Lance felt as though he was in complete comfort with Keith. Keith rubbed his back as Lance dry heaved for a few minutes. He lifted his face from Keith's chest and looked up at him.

"Thanks. I didn't expect to be having a panic attack at Starbucks." Lance said as though it was a joke. Keith smiled and they went back out to their friends.

Matt, Hunk,Katie and Allura walked home from Starbucks. Keith offered to drive Lance home as Lance lived a bit farther from the school. The ride was silent for a few minutes before Lance spoke up.

"I wanna thank you. For standing up to Lotor. People don't usually do that." Lance said as he looked at the clock on the stereo. It was 4:30 in the afternoon, meaning that Lance's mom would be home in 30 minutes from her job.

Keith shook his head. "It's fine. He was being a bitch." Lance blushed and looked out the window to avoid looking at Keith. They finally pulled up to Lance's doorway and Lance grabbed his bags with Keith walking with him to the door. Keith had on red letterman jacket and had his hands stuck in the pockets. Lance had both his bags in his hands.

"Thanks for bringing me home. I don't think Max would have gotten away from his girlfriend fast enough to pick me up." Lance said as he chuckled. Keith chuckled with him. "I'll see you tomorrow. I can pick you up tomorrow if you want." Keith offered. Lance thought about it. Keith may not be up when Lance was.

"I wouldn't want you to have to wake up so early to bring me to school." Lance said as he stuck his key in the door and went inside with Keith following. Lance set his backpack on the sofa before turning to Keith.

"I wake up at 4 to go on a run every morning and I get to school at 5." Keith said. Lance smiled. He woke up at that time also and was at school the same time. Lance nodded. "Well then you can pick me up at 4:30." Keith smiled and hugged Lance before leaving the house.

Lance watched Keith leave before he blushed again.
