Hiding Behind a Mask

Chapter 40- A 'Matt'er of Time

"Mm-hm." Allura nods.

"Is Lotor coming back?" Lance asks nervously. Keith glares at Lance, seriously? The first thing you bring up is him?

"No, I told him he couldn't come back till he had his shit together." Allura snaps. Lance sighs in relief.

"Oh thank God!" He said. Keith nods in agreement. Allura thought for a moment.

"Don't think he'll listen though."

"Dammit Allura!" Lance now whines. "This is your cafe, kick him out!"

"For what?"

"Harassment!" Keith shouts. Allura rolls her eyes and began to read waiting for business. Lance walks over to Keith and leans against him, the two seemed calm with each other despite the argument they had yesterday.

The whole group seemed calm with everything. Then the door flew open, someone rushes in.

"IT'S MATT TIME!" He shouts. Lance clung to Keith in fear. Allura was just confused. Nobody said anything.

Shiro runs out of nowhere and tackles the guy down, the two scream and wrestle. Shiro got the guy on the ground easily then put him in a headlock. The new guy was laughing, his glasses crooked and his hair a mess.

"Dammit Shiro, how are you so fucking strong with one arm missing?!" He asks. Shiro laughs and carries the guy over to Allura. Still kept him in a headlock. The man held his arm out happily.

"Hi I'm Matt." He said. Allura gave him a confused look and slowly grabs his arm.

"Uh... I'm Allura." She said awkwardly.

"Nice to meet ya." He said still staying positive. He looks over. "Hi Keith!" He waves happily.

"Hi." Keith waves back. Matt looks at Lance, Keith saw Matt staring. "This is Lance."

"Hello."

"Who's the Pidge look alike?"

"That's her brother Matt."

"God, they are identical." Lance said in a scared tone.

"Oh just wait Lance, they don't just look alike. They act alike." That made Lance scared. He didn't want another Pidge, one was enough.

"Sooooo what's new?" He asks, still in a headlock.

"Oh a lot is new." Shiro said. Matt looks over at the group.

"I can tell a lot has changed. Also I'm surprised that's your girlfriend." Matt said. Shiro gave a confused look.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I didn't think she was black." Matt points out. Allura folds her arms across her chest. She raised an eyebrow at Matt, Shiro knew what that meant... not Matt.

"What's that suppose to mean?" She asks.

"Hm?" Matt looks at her. "Well I don't know. I didn't expect you to look like that."

"Are you saying something is wrong with me?" She asks in a sour tone. Matt shook his head.

"No, you're still as pretty as Shiro descri-" Shiro tightened his grip on Matt, his face red.

"Yes Matt she is pretty, now shut up." He said. Keith laughs.

"Come on Shiro, Allura is your girlfriend. You can call her pretty." He mocks. Lance just looks at Keith.

"I guess brothers are alike." He said. Keith groans.

"Don't start that!"

"I'm not starting anything. Just pointing something out."
