"Hunk you don't get it! He didn't know who I was!" Lance groaned, collapsing his long limbs over his best friend and the couch.
"Aw you poor baby." The big guy soothed, halfheartedly patting his leg.
He glared at Hunk then, being met with a fond smile.
Did he not see why this was a problem? Did he not see how this completely shattered his heart and soul?
What if this was his final straw? What then?
But Hunk seemed unbothered.
What a dick.
Lance let out a long suffering sigh at that, stretching out further into his best friend's space.
"He was even prettier in real life Hunk. But then he didn't know who I was!" It hurt. A lot actually.
Because although he doesn't expect everyone to know who he was it would've been nice for Keith Kogane to know who he was.
Even to a shred of the degree Lance knew him would've been acceptable. But no.
"Maybe he just doesn't watch the type of movies you do buddy. Don't worry about it." Hunk tried, no doubt done with the topic after hearing Lance whine about it for days.
It's been a few weeks since they met and it only got worse.
Keith wouldn't stay in a room with him for long enough to get to know him, and when he did stick around the good conversations fizzled out into stupid arguments.
But that's not from lack of trying on Lance's end.
He's made countless attempts at getting Keith to like him and all ended in a massive dumpster fire.
He was pretty sure he heard Keith on the phone talking in something that sounded like Japanese which should've been a great conversation starter but when he brought it up Keith got all guarded and grumpy.
Attempt was a failure.
He often showed up to work in odd conspiracy shirts which Lance tried to use to talk to him but Keith seemed offended when he tried so that attempt was unsuccessful.
Attempt was a double fail.
Lance saw him eyeing an ice cream cone one of the extras on set was supposed to be eating and he asked him if he wanted to get some later. Keith just blinked and told him he was lactose intolerant before walking off.
Even Google could've told him that one.
Attempt failed miserably.
Keith almost always had headphones in off set, tapping his fingers to match the rhythm against anything he could. Lance tried that to get to know him but when Keith hunched in on himself and then insulted Taylor Swift he decided it was a lost cause.
Attempt number eight million was where he left off. Maybe. It's hard to count that high but the point is he tried a lot to get to know the guy.
He's tried! That has to count for something.
He was a lot weirder than his fan pages alluded to him being and Lance was woefully unprepared for it.
And now even though they couldn't even hold a conversation, today it would be time for their first big romance scene.
To say tension on set was high would be an understatement.
Lance didn't mind kissing Keith since it was for the job and not them actually making out with feelings but Keith seemed a little more nervous.
They've had smaller kissing scenes throughout the project so far but this one was a little more lovey dovey.
He was on edge all week and today was the day it would have to be filmed. It was unavoidable.
With a sigh he stood from his crumbled heap on his best friend's lap. "Time to go film with Kogane." He said with a grimace.
Hunk just laughed like the asshole he was. Lance was totally going to tell Shay to dump him later.
Flicking him off over his shoulder, he set off towards the set. Hunk could rot on that studio couch for all he cared, waiting for Shay to get out of her own film session.
He reached the set of his own movie and headed straight into costume and makeup in what was a whirlwind of action, not even noticing Nyma's advances until he was ready and standing in front of Keith.
He was dressed in soft looking red robes with the 'Altean' crest on the arms of it, black hair pooled around his head as he displayed himself across the pillows. He looked so soft. Ready for a long nap in Lance's own arms.
Violet eyes seemed to invite him to do just that and he had to remind himself that he was acting. That they were actors.
Fuck.
The countdown to start filming the scene sounded off and it started way too soon.
"Leandro. I've been waiting." Keith drawled, raising a pale hand towards him as if to invite him into the bed with him.
Swallowing around the lump in his throat, he racked his mind for his line.
Right. He knew his lines. He could do this.
"I apologize for the delay. It won't happen again my love." His voice came out smooth and steady like he'd been hoping for.
Thanking the lord for his acting ability he slowly moved his lead filled limbs towards the bed holding the beautiful man.
In his haze he missed the pole of the bed frame and was sent tumbling to the floor, smacking face first into the floor.
The studio erupted in quiet laughter other than Keith who was full on belly laughing as he sat up from the mattress.
"Are you alright Lance?" He asked with a boyish grin. It made his heart stutter in his chest the longer he stared.
He was very clearly not okay as his nose dropped with a few drops of blood onto the floor. But as the smile he was met with began to fade into a worried frown he felt the need to reassure him.
Without alerting him to the fact that he's whipped as fuck.
"I'm fine but weren't you ever in highschool theater?! Never break character mullet head. Now we can't use this scene!"
Nailed it.
Keith's face flushed in annoyance before they started arguing as per usual. "Hey I'm not the one who fucked the scene up! We couldn't have used it anyways!"
"Hey fuck you! If you stayed in character we could've used it. Improv and all that shit." He scowled at the pretty boy, getting up from off the floor so he secured his height advantage again.
"Even in character they can't use half your scenes!"
"Oh that's rich-" before he could continue Allura came stalking onto the set with a glint in her eyes that made him want to run for the hills.
"Stop! You're messing my movie up with your petty problems! Either you find a way to get along or you're both fired!" She fumed, British accent getting heavier as she yelled.
Fired? Oh no. He's never been fired. Well.. that job at McDonald's doesn't count.
He's good at what he does and to be threatened with being fired? Not happening.
"You're both ordered to hangout until you get along since you wish to act like children. This is to be the last time I have to get after you or else. You're dismissed for the day to do so." She finished with an expectant glare.
Hanging out with mullet? He felt a pout form on his face as he went back into costume and makeup to get everything removed.
Fat chance that would be enjoyable.
But he wasn't going to let this asshole get him fired. He could play nice if Keith could.
Keith seemed to feel the same if the deep frown and angry furrow of his eyebrows meant anything as they removed his makeup.
Good. He shouldn't be the only one to suffer through this.
They're in this together.
Hah.
