chapter four

the boy with the violet orbs

[LANCE POV]

Is this possibly the best day ever? Yes. Did I just embarrassed myself in front of the whole lecture hall including Keith? Absolutely. Do I even care? Nope, because of the fact I was late I got to be paired with the beautiful violet eyed, mullet-rocking, boy of my dreams; Keith Kogane. I must be dreaming, I mean I would have to be right? There is no chance that in this reality that I would be lucky enough to be paired with the majestic gayness of Keith.

I was thrown out of my imagination by the sudden amount of pain on my forehead, a million different possibilities ran through my mind of what had just happened; I hit my head on the fucking desk. I don't know why and I don't know how but somehow my face went from looking at the teacher to face first into my desk. In my state of confusion I failed to realise that the class had erupted into giggles and whispers.

I whipped my head around until I met violet eyes; time seemed to slow down as Keith smiled softly at me and I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as a small smile placed itself onto my face.

Now I can admit it to myself, this is the best fucking day of my life.

After a long day of lectures I flopped onto my bed grabbing a pillow and screaming as hard as I could into the soft material.

"That smile was so soft and my heart was beating out of fucking chest, I could've died. Ok now I'm just rambling to myself and overreacting but that was the cutest thing I've ever seen in all my days on this earth. I think that was even cuter than that time KEI-KO tried to do pick-up lines for a session, and that was really fucking cute because he didn't understand half of them AHHH"

I breathed heavily as I lowered the pillow from my face only to turn to my phone which I somehow left here when rushing out this morning.

It lit up,

It buzzed,

It was text message.

My hand slowly went to grab it before I pulled it close to my face and read the incoming text slowly;

"Hey Lance, this is Keith (from your physics class) I just asked Pidge for your number btw because I was hoping to try to get the project started tonight. Just text me back if you can do it tonight and what time I could come over? So yeah please get back to me soonish - Keith Kogane"

I skimmed over it again, checking time and again. Keith messaged me, he wants to work on the project tonight oh my god. I quickly texted back a time and that I was looking forward to it, can you even look forward to working on a project?

I guess you can.

[KEITH POV]

After practically begging Pidge for Lance's number I finally got it, It only took 40 minutes and 2 of their "If I tell you to you must" tickets of doom to finally get it but I still got it in the end so oh well. But I quickly wrote a message about just working on the project, after all I much rather start on it then continue it later, as well as the fact that I might want to see Lance again, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

I almost got a reply instantly;

"Tonight sounds good! I'll see you at 5pm at my dorm (same block as you btw) Room 24 <3"

I slowly felt the small blush make its way up onto my cheek, it was dancing on my face almost like it was making fun of me.

I looked over at my setup 'maybe would be a good time to start a playlist for my slot tomorrow' With that thought in mind I started going through my already existing playlists trying to pick songs that go with that middle of the week feeling.

The clock slowly made its way to 4:45pm and I decided to start grabbing the stuff I might need for the project. 

As I made my way out of my room and down the multiple hallways to have my eyes land on the door with a '24' on the outside of it. I knocked, and the door opened immediately to a smiling Lance.

"Hey Keith, Nice to see you! Come in!" He slowly stepped aside as I made my way inside. The room was the same size as mine but it had two beds facing the door, I continued to look around and my eyes caught something I would never unsee.

A bulletin board with cards that read things like: male, 'super gay', university student, likes emo bands. That all centred around one bright yellow card with "KEI-KO?" circled numerous times. At first my face lost all colour but then an instant later I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. Lance must of noticed me staring at the bulletin board and jumped in quickly.

"I know that you know who he is but I'm just theorising, maybe you could give some hints sometime." He stared and winked at me,

If there is a god out there please don't let Lance find out, he would be so disappointed.

[A.N]

Well hello there,

Are you happy I finally updated for y'all, I hopefully going to also be working on chapter five this weekend as well so you SHOULD be getting a double update (If I don't forget) 

So be excited for that, because I should really be working on assignments;

BTW if there is anything that doesn't make sense I'm sorry? I have to write these chapters from chapter plans and my IMAGINATION so I often forget to write down small details to do with the story, so please forgive me.

Hopefully see you guys in a couple days!
