I'm just a prisoner of your love
You got me lip locked fire the gun
Oh oh ohh
If I escaped too I would be lost
So don't bail me out babe I'll pay the cost
OhohohhAw see it ain't that sunny, spent my money
Sweet as a felony
Ain't you hunny
I can here the gripes
But I'm wearin stripes
Look up at the stars
And I gotta think twiceOh oh ohAll of the fightingOh oh ohKeeps it excitin'
I'm doin' time but I don't mind
I'll be just fine
Sometimes I just hate to love you
I'm doin' time but I don't mind
I'll be just fine
Sometimes I just hate to love you
Oh oh uh oh
Oh oh uh oh
Oh oh uh oh
Ohh
I'm doin' time
It's a real fight
But it's all right
Sometime I just hate to love you

The song over the radio finished and the radio announcers started talking once again.

"Hey everyone that was Blade of Marmora's 'Hate to Love You' and speaking of Blade of Marmora, the band has asked us to announce that before their big concert at Voltron Arena (tickets are still selling by the way) they are hosting a songwriting competition, and the winning song will be recorded by Blade of Marmora AND performed at their concert! Sign up sheets are on the official Blade of Marmora website, just hop on there, attach a song and cross your fingers that you'll win. Up next we have Novocaine by Fal-"

"AAAAAA LANCE DID YOU HEAR THAT?!?"

Lance jumped at the sound of Pidge's shrill screeching, he glanced up to see her standing on the mini blue couch opposite his, eyes shining.

"Huh? hear what?"

"ON THE RADIO YOU DINGUS"

Lance plugged his ears.

"Before you continue my dear gremlin please drop the volume level I won't be able to hear ANYTHING if you continue like that"

Pidge jumped down off the sofa and smiled sheepishly.

"Heh sorry. Anyways as I was SAYING. BoM?? Radio??? Contest??? You really missed all of that?!?!"

Lance glanced down at his phone again swept up by the recollection of what he was doing while he missed all of that. He was staring. At his phone. Yep. Just staring. He'd opened up Keith's contact and. Stared.

He had hoped that Keith would text him. Sure last time he had seen him Lance had been kinda cold- ok REALLY cold, but he was hoping Keith would text him to explain the whole 'girlfriend' situation. But nope. Nothing. Zilch. Zippo. Nada.

"LANCE"

"Huh? OH. Yeah I missed all of that. Explain?"

Pidge sighed but conceded.

"Blade of Marmora is holding a songwriting contest and the winner will get their song recorded AND performed at the Voltron Arena concert by BLADE OF MARMORA THEMSELVES."

"WHAT?!?"

"I KNOW! YOU'RE GONNA ENTER RIGHT?!?"

"YUH DUH OF COURSE!!"

Lance's long gangly limbs untangled themselves at record speed and he leapt up off of the couch rushing through the 'Staff Only" door, reappearing moments later with a large purple notebook and a pencil.

"I have to get started right. now."

But just as the sentence left Lance's mouth the door bell jingled and Matt walked through it. Pidge jumped up and ran over to her older brother.

"Matt! Where've you been?? I've been calling you since yesterday"

"Sorry Katie I was over at- uhhh over at a friends house"

Pidge raised an eyebrow at Matt's stuttering. He was a horrible liar and judging by the look in his eye he knew his sister had caught him out.

"Ok ok. So maybe I wasn't at a friends house. Well technically I was but BASICALLY IknowwhoBladeofMarmoraare"

Matt spoke the last sentence so quickly that it took both Lance and Pidge a few seconds to process what had been said. But once they realised there were 2 reactions.

Lance promptly swooned, falling back onto the couch he had recently vacated, on the verge of hyperventilation. Whereas Pidge was looking Matt dead in the eye with a look on her face so sharp it could cut diamonds.

"Mathew Holt. You are going to tell me right now. Or so help me god I WILL disown you."

"Mm sorry pidgeon I really can't. I already signed all their paperwork and stuff. It's officially illegal for me to tell you"

Pidge pouted in defeat.

"Damn."

"Sorry Pidgeon"

Pidge was about to retort back at Matt for calling her Pidgeon but before she could speak the doorbell jingled once again. Lance sat up from his swoon on the couch to see who had walked in and a mixture of emotions washed over him as he saw who it was.

"Keith-"

Keith locked eyes with Lance at the sound of his name his eyes lighting up a little but then dimming slightly as he remembered their last interaction.

"Hey..."

Lance sat frozen, not sure whether to get up and go to him or to stay where he was. Why was everything so CONFUSING when it came to Keith?!?

Meanwhile Pidge and Matt stood off to the side cringing at the awkward encounter between the two boys in front of them. After several more seconds of unbearable silence Matt decided to step in.

"Keith! My man, how's it going?"

"Oh! Hey Matt"

Keith's face lit up as he noticed that Matt was there. Not paying attention to Lance anymore he didn't see the red spread across Lance's cheeks or the way that his eyebrows furrowed slightly in jealousy.

"Matt? You never mentioned you knew Keith? How'd you meet?"

Matt and Keith both froze.

"Uh- I- Well you see-"

"Yeah- We- You know- Uh-"

After much stuttering Matt finally got out a plausible (sort of) excuse.

"Oh we met a couple of days ago at that gig... that I had... at that club..."

"Yeah! That one club, mhm"

Pidge raised an eyebrow with suspicion, like she said before Matt was a HORRIBLE liar. But she wasn't going to push it. Yet. Lance on the other hand didn't pay one ounce of attention to Matt's horrendous lie. He was still caught up in jealousy.

How could Matt make Keith smile like that? Did they like each other? Oh no... was Lance so cold the other day that Keith had seeked comfort in Matt?? Was it his fault that Matt and Keith were going to be together?

"-yways we should probably go now Pidge"

"Yeah alright"

Lance zoned back in, in time to wave goodbye to Pidge and Matt as they left. As soon as the door had closed behind them his eyes were drawn back to Keith. Keith on the other hand was looking at everything else in the room BUT Lance.
