LANCE'S POV

"You can't really survive without him, can you?" Pidge teased, watching me pace the floor for the millionth time.  I flushed and looked at them, scoffing away the comment. "What do you mean? If you're talking about Keith, then you are totally wrong and crazy." Pidge rolled their eyes and laughed. "Yeah, ok, sure." I glared at them. "Im serious! Im actually glad Keith is gone for the day, it means I can finally relax for once." Pidge was ignoring me now, but I could still see their superior smug look on their devilish face. 

The base of our argument was centered around a specific angsty mullet head (AKA -- Keith). He and Shiro had gone out on a specific mission early this morning, and they weren't supposed to return until late tonight or possibly early tomorrow morning. After our training today (which had been short, considering our leader and another one of our teammates wasn't here) I hadn't really had anything to...well...do. It was an embarrassing realization of how much time I spent arguing with Keith, and how little of anything else I actually did. But obviously, I will NEVER accept this information or tell anyone, especially Pidge, about this. Instead I roamed around the castle aimlessly and tried to pretend that I was actually doing something besides waiting for Keith to get back.

Ever since me and Keith's "bonding moment", everything has been very confusing for me. My feelings and the weird attraction I have towards him now is actually pretty freaky to me. It was just last week I was trying to out-do him in everything and argued with him constantly. Now I just wanted him to notice me and...well a bunch of other stuff that is super mushy and over the top embarrassing. But Keith hadn't seemed to change at all. He was still the same broody, edgy boy as before. Which now seemed frustratingly hot and mysterious.    

"I bet you're thinking about him right now." Pidge said, pulling me out of my head. I looked to them, opened my mouth, then shut it again. Pidge threw their head back in what I can only describe as a pure evil laugh. "Jesus, you are hopeless Lance." I growled in annoyance. "Oh, shut up Pidge. I was...thinking about how much I...hate him. Yeah. I hate him, a lot. So you can wipe that smug look off your face cause I. Hate. Him." Pidge threw another look of disbelief my way. "Ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night Mcclain." I flipped Pidge the bird and left the common room, walking back into the castle halls. 

I tried to think of something else to do, but I had nothing. I had already hung out with Hunk and bothered him for a bit, talked to Coran, helped Allura tend to the mice, trained some more, and then went to go hang out with Pidge. So yeah. Fresh out of things to do. "I guess ill just go take a nap or something. I need the extra rest anyways." I walked down the halls leading to my room when I saw Keith's room, his door open. 'Ohhh interesting.' I quickly shook my head. 'No! I can't go in there! Snooping is bad!' Ignoring my conscious, I peeped in further, curiosity and boredom motivating me to look around. Just a little. 

His room was pretty bare, barely decorated at all. 'Honestly I'm not that surprised.' Keith didn't    seem like the decorating type. There was just a plain desk, plain bed, and a plain bathroom. I decided that there was possibly something interesting in his desk drawers. Shoving down my obvious guilt, I let boredom and curiosity take further control. I opened the top drawer...I frowned. Nothing. I started to rummage around. "Nothing. Boring. Plain. Gah, does this kid have nothing thats interesting!?" Just as I was about to give up, I spotted a notebook. 

I slowly pulled it out and looked it over. It was a red spiral notebook (stereotypical) and the front just read "Keith's."

'This is a bad idea. I should just get out while I can.' Yet, I ignored my advice, and opened the notebook. 

DATE UNKOWN

TIME UNKOWN

I am Keith Kogane, and I have just landed on a planet unknown to human civilization. I came here by complete accident, and with a group of people I hardly know (besides Shiro, a close friend). We have all been deemed paladins of Voltron. Its extremely hard to explain, but it technically means that we are the defenders of the universe. I feel overwhelmed, confused, anxious, and a lot of other scary emotions. Ill update more tomorrow...

'This was when we had first arrived here...' I kept flipping through the pages. He continued on about Voltron, the team, his lion. Even some of his past. I felt my heart start to ache a little. I kept going until I came across a certain page marked, "Today Was Weird."

DATE UNKNOWN

TIME; 8:30 PM

Today was...different. I was arguing with Lance (as usual) when something...changed. While we were fighting I noticed his eyes. I know that sounds really dumb and weird, but something about his eyes got to me for a moment. I noticed how blue they were. Like the ocean sky, or like pure water. I noticed how when his face was scrunched up his freckles came out a little more and livened up his blue eyes even more. And even more, I noticed how his eyes made me feel...

They made me feel warm and oddly comforted, despite him screaming at me. They made me want to step closer and look deep into those blue eyes and just stand there for ages. They made me want to kiss every single freckle around them and do it over and over again until I die. 

I think I might be going insane. I mean, how can one persons eyes make me feel so...intense. Especially when that person is Lance McClain. Cocky, arrogant, self-centered, handsome, charming, Lance McClain? Woah, did I actually just write down "handsome" and "charming"? I must certainly be loosing my mind. Or maybe I'm...starting to...crush on him? I don't know. I need to sleep and forget about those blue eyes...Ill update more tomorrow.

I felt electrified. Did I really just read that? "How long ago was this?" I kept flipping the pages, and there were a lot more diary entries past this one. So this must have happened some time ago. I quickly shoved the notebook back into its place, stood on my shaky legs, and bolted out of his room. I couldn't wipe a huge, dopey smile off of my face. I felt like I was on Cloud 9. Sure, I snooped in his room and went through his diary, but I just found out that Keith freaking Kogane liked me back! 'Er, I mean, that I had black-mail on him now! Yeah...thats what I meant!' 

I went straight to my room and laid down on my bed. 'Today could not get any better...'
