AN- Im making Pidge a rider instead of a harpy.

KEITH

I go stiff as she sat on my back. A harness felt really restricting. A strap over each shoulder and then on cutting a cross my torso. The saddle didn't squeeze the life out of me but it was uncomfortable for sure. I had on a red flannel shirt on. The orange hair man named Coran put horse shoes on Shiro and I. They're heavy and uncomfortable. my rider right now is that girl. Allura.

"Just relax Keith." Shiro said.

"I'm not even touching the reins yet, walk forward when your ready Keith." She said. I take a step and walk slowly.

"You don't have forever to learn this stuff mullet!" Lance shouted. I roll my eyes.

"Faster!" a sharp hard slap hit my flank.

"What cha doing Boy? Go faster slacker!" he hits me with leather belt, I struggle to get up. pain shot through my body. Once I got up I pull the plow as hard as I could. He still hits my flank with the belt.

"Might as well shoot you!"

"KEITH!"

I focus. Shiro was gripping my shoulder.
"Hey Breathe and focus. Patients yields focus."
I take in a breath.
"You're safe."
He said.
"Do you need to stop Keith?"
Allura asked from behind.  I shake my head.
"I'm fine."

"You suddenly stopped and stared at the ground your breathing pattern shortened. Are you sure?" Allura asked again.

"I'm fine."
I start again and walk.
It went slowly but I soon got to a cantor with her on my back. She said it was enough for today and takes the bindings off. I race off right along the fence. The wind in my hair was refreshing. The day was nice and clear few clouds in the sky. My gallop slows down to a halt. I graze on the grass a little.
"What happened back there?"
I lift my upper body up to Lance his coat was a dark brown he wore a jean shirt. He was taller than me.
"None of your business. Leave me alone."

"Look hot shot my rider is my business. She was on you. You're dangerous and unpredictable if you ever hurt her I-"
I take off pass him cutting off his sentence.
"Hey!"
He shouted I hear him running after me.
Faster. He came up to my side. I lower my flank sliding to a stop. He went on and circled back. He glared at me.
He's cute when he's angry. NO! Shut up Keith!

"You hurt Allura or Pidge or Hunk! I will end you."
He growled at me.
"And why would I hurt them?"
I crossed my arms.
"Cause you're wild."

I roll my eyes.
"I don't see you saying anything to my brother."

"Well he's nice!"
I get up turning my back to him and leave. He came in front of me and stood in my path.
"What are you doing? Go away."
I try maneuvering around him but he moves blocking my path. This went on for a while.
"WILL YOU STOP!" I screamed at him.

"There's something weird about you."

"Bless ya heart." (Texan for fuck you.)

We stood there for an moment in awkward silence.
"Can you leave me your presence is becoming a nuisance." I growled at him.
A load whistle came from behind me.
"Everyone Come here!" Allura called out. I got up and trot over. Lance galloped over. Pidge was with her. I met Hunk and Shiro over there. Allura was holding an envelope.
"I got mail. From the black rodeo."

"What does it say!?" Lance asked.

"Well. They want us to attend. Although winner can do one thing to any of the losers to any horse. Humans can't be harmed."
She said.
"If we do this and win we get a ton of money. But if we don't win then we can either lose money or have someone thrown out of the next rodeos."
Pidge explains.
"True they cant take the farms."
Allura added.
"Let's do it we got a chance!"
Hunk said.

"One of the major things is the race. A horse per event. Pidge you're gonna ride Keith. Keith we'll need you on that one. They'll have the bucking bull. Coran can do that. The round up chase a cattle and get a rope around it. Hunk you and pidge Ride and shoot. Lance that's you and me. Barrel run. Keith and me. Shiro you can do the obsticle race. I will be with you.

"We should get working then."

"Not just yet. We have two before the Black rodeo. Let's get started."

(Time skip)

I gallop around with Pidge on my back. She was........ a bit heavier then expected. First rodeo is tomorrow. Lance has been bothering me still staying close to me. He's weird.

"Good! That should do."
I slow down by the gate. Pidge got off.
"Minute twenty. Get some food and rest up." She said. It was already late. Big day tomorrow. I follow instructions and go get food.
"Hey baby bro."
Shiro trots up to me.
"I don't like being called that."

He chuckled.

"Big day tomorrow. Lance wanted to tell you something." He pointed over to the other side of the fenced in plain.

"If he's gonna threaten me again-"

"Just go talk to him."
Shiro said. I groan and walk over to Lance.
"Shiro said you wanted to talk."
His head turned to me.
"Y-Yea...... umm"

"Well?"
I cross my arms.
"Umm."
His cheeks are red. Is he sick? I get closer and put my hand to his head.
"You're a bit warm. Are you okay?"

"Umm"
He leans forward and gently pressed his lips to mine. His lips were soft and warm. He pulled away from me.
"T-te amo Keith!"
He took off running past me. I heard crickets. The wind blew and nipped at me sending a shiver running down my spine. The leaves brushed against each other. All was quiet.
Who the fuck kisses someone calls them a name and takes off running!? This guy is so confusing! But sexy. I'm not EMO TEA!

I'm gonna kill him tomorrow.
I lay down and go to sleep.

The sun started to rise. I groan getting up and stretching out. Shiro is asleep in the field. I go to the barn and walk inside. A few horses. Not many but Hunk and Lance where in a stall. I pushed Lance's the door shut and lock it. His head popped up.
"Keith? What are you doing?"
He got up and pushed at the door. I take a few steps back and cross my arms.
"L-look I'm sorry I kissed you-"

"You kissed me called me emo tea and took off. Why the fuck would you call me Emo Tea?!"

"Emo tea? No Keith I didn't-"

"Yes you did! don't lie!"

"What's doing on?" I turn to see Pidge and Shiro walking into the barn.

"Lance called me emo Tea!"
I shout.
"No I Didn't!"

"Yes you Did! You literally said 'Te amo Keith!' After kissing me and took off running!"

Lance and I argued back and forth.
"Keith!"
Pidge called to me.
"WHAT!"
I shout back out of frustration. She chuckled. I can hear Hunk laughing.
"Te amo means. I love you, in Spanish." She laughed. Heat rises to my cheeks. What the Fuck!
I cover my face to hide my blush. I unlock Lance's door. He scratched his head.
"너를 사랑해"
I say in Korean.

"W-what?"

I take in a breath.
"I-Iloveyouto." I said quickly with embarrassment.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! Fuck my life.
