[ ...confession gone wrong ]

Today was the day, I would tell Lance my feelings. I had planned everything, I would ask to talk to him and then tell him exactly everything I liked about him, which was practically everything about him. Like the way he makes my stomach do backflips and summersaults when he smiles, and his beautiful ultramarine blue orbs that I get lost in every time I glance over at his facial features for too long

I had double-checked with Allura that we had no missions to do for at least 4 hours giving me enough time to prepare for my confession. I looked at myself in the mirror You can do this Keith...come on...stop being an idiot and just do it already! I told myself mentally

Walking out of my room, my footsteps felt heavy my heart raging in my chest and my stomach twisted and churned with apprehension. I reached his door, and my breath caught in my throat as I very gently knocked with my knuckles. When the door slid open I quickly jerked my hand back "Oh hey Keith, what can I do for you?" Lance asked in a friendly tone

I rubbed the back of my neck "...Do you...have a second...to talk?" I asked, my tongue felt heavy like It was being pressed down by weights making it hard for me to form words. "Sure, I've been actually wanting to talk to you as well. Perfect timing huh?" He chuckled, and something fluttered in my chest at his small chuckle.

"Y-Yeah," I replied, "what was it you wanted to talk about?" We both asked in unison causing us both to awkwardly chuckle "You go first," Lance said flashing me a pearly white smile "No no, I insist you go first," I said, "If you insist." He said, momentarily looking at me with a cocky grin. He leaned against the wall "...I wanted to tell you something before anyone else found out." Lance started. I nodded, gesturing him to carry on.

"I and Allura started dating!" 

My world shattered completely, my heart snapped in two.  I could feel grief building up in my chest "Isn't that great? all that hard work paid off!" He said with a goofy smile "...Yeah...it's great... I'm happy for you two...good job Lance..." I murmured, forcing my lips into a small smile "What was it you were going to tell me?" He asked "Oh...nothing...nothing...important..." I said "I just realized....I have...I have something to do..." I said and exited the room before Lance could even blink.

What did I expect? I knew he and Allura were getting closer...I didn't stand a chance up against Allura... But why did it have to hurt so much? I made it to my room before collapsing on my bed, I curled myself into a ball as well as I could. Come on Keith, man up. It's just a guy. I mentally scolded myself. Tears dripped down my cheeks and soaked into the sheets below me. 

Closing my eyes tightly, biting down on my lip. I grabbed a hold of my pillow pulling it close to my chest. "Keith?" A voice sounded making me flinch. Shiro. "Hey, you okay?" His voice instantly switched to concern. I felt the bed dip slightly indicating he had sat down. I kept my lips sealed shut, knowing if I spoke I would spill everything. "Keith...?" His voice was softer than before. I still didn't make a sound. "Keith...come on, talk to me..." he said

"...It's stupid," I whispered

I could feel Shiro's gaze burn into mine "It's not stupid if it's upset you Keith." He said, "...I...I..." The words didn't seem to come out of my mouth "...I ...l-love Lance..." I whispered, keeping my eyes glued onto the pillow and not Shiro. "He told me he was dating Allura...the same day I was planning to tell him how I felt...my luck's great isn't it?" I murmured "Guessing today was that day huh?" Shiro said sympathetically. "...Yeah..."

I buried my face further into the pillow "...You gonna tell me I shouldn't love one of the most talented, smart, funny, cocky, and gorgeous guys I've ever seen?" I asked him "That I shouldn't have fallen for a straight guy? That I'm a complete screw-up for doing so? and that I should just get over falling in love with Lance Mcclain?" I mumbled. "No I'm n-" Shiro was cut off 

"...You...love...me?..." 

My blood turned cold at the voice, I knew exactly who it belonged to. I sat up looking dead at none other than Lance. His eyes were wide and his mouth hung agape "Did...you just...say you..." Lance trailed off slowly his eyes locking with mine.

The color drained completely from my face.
