Those Nights :: A Plance Fanfic::

I don't

::It's been a while since I've updated this story..::

Lance's POV

I held onto Pidge's hands for a bit.
It felt right, to be side by side with her, our hands touching.
I couldn't see her face, but I'm pretty sure she was blushing.
I felt like blushing too, but I just couldn't.
I told myself I didn't like her.
I was gonna wait for the right time to tell Allura.
But at the same time, being with Pidge felt...natural..
We were just friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I excused myself to go to the bathroom.
I looked at myself in the mirror.

I'm not good enough for her.
Why would a girl like Allura even like a guy like me? I'm too skinny, I have freckles, she barely even talks to me, and let's be honest, I'm stupid.

I slammed my fists on the counter.

What's the use?
She wants a cool, popular dude to be cool and popular with her.
And Lotor is the cool, popular dude she likes.
And Pidge..
She would never like me.

Suddenly, I was taken back by my thoughts.
There was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Lance? You in there?"
I shakily let out a yes, followed by a sniffle.
"I was kinda left behind. So you're all that I've got now."
All that she's got...
"Pidge.."
She fiddled with the door, and eventually unlocked it.
"Are you okay? You've been crying.."
Then that's when things started to get weird.

And that's when she hugged me for the second time that day.
She hugged me for quite a bit, actually.
After that, her phone went off.
She picked it up, and put it on silent.
"Who was that, Tater tot?"
"Dunno."
I stared at her for a while.
I quickly took her phone and looked at the screen.
Boo? That's what she named her partner?
I stared at her for a good moment.

"BOO?"
She shifted uncomfortably.
"It's not what it looks like.."
"Who is this person?"
She didn't respond.
That's when I let it all loose.
"PIDGE! You're TOO young to have a boyfriend! Do you know how boys can hurt you? Even if it isn't a boy, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DATING!"
She winced and snatched her phone back.

"I'm not dating anyone, and why would you care if I was? It's not like you like me. I mean, you like Allura, and only focus on her ass most of the time! And I'm only 16!"
I hurt her..
"Pidge.."
"I'm done with your shit, Lance."
She must be really mad if she isn't calling me 'loverboy'...
I watched as she walked out of the bathroom and slammed it shut.

"GodDAMNIT! "

I just broke the heart of a girl that I actually liked. What the fuck am I doing wrong?
I slid to the floor and sat there, with my head in between my legs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know how long I was in there, but all I know is that when I got up, it was almost 10 pm.
That's when I heard sniffling behind the bathroom door.
It occurred to me that the bathroom was locked.

"Lance..."
Pidge?
"Lance.. If you can hear me, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you."
"Pidge..I-"
"Lance! Open the door!"
I unlocked it and she ran in, hugging me.
"Pidge. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have screamed at you, or even gotten jealous-"
"Wait.. You were jealous?"

"Yeah. I guess I just told myself that Allura didn't want me, so then I started realizing that I liked you..."

"What do you mean you realized that you liked me?"

"When we held hands and hugged each other, I felt something. I felt closer to you. It felt right."
"I felt the same way, Lance..."
"You did?"
"I do."

She got on her tippy toes, but I bent down to her level.
"Hey look, I'm Pidge sized!"
She elbowed me in the side and I playfully fell back.
"For a tiny gremlin such as yourself, you sure do have a lot of strength."
She glared at me.
"Lance.. I swear.."

In an instant, I scooped her tiny body into a hug.
"Come on, Tater tot. I'm starving."
She took my hand and we walked to where the group was.
