Tune Into My Heart (2nd Soundtrack)

1 - Risque

I got birds in my ears
And a devil on my shoulder
And a phone to the other
And I can't get a hold of her
And what's a crush to do?
What's a crush to do when he can't get through?

Airports are a tedious task to get through. As soon as Lance saw Plaht City, he was so excited and literally switched seats with Veronica. Just so he can watch the plane land and imagine what it would be like to see everyone in person again.

Most of all, he was eager to see Allura again. At some point she wanted to give her answer over the summer holiday but Lance wouldn't allow it. He told her it would be better to answer him honestly in person. It would hurt a little if she said 'no' but he could deal with some rejection if it happened. Anxiety is the worst.

Then there is Keith. He barely answered any texts. When he did, it was short. Something about he heard from an old neighbour he hasn't seen in ages. Apparently, this guy is part of a successful band. Keith just won't say who. Figured it may have just been a Keith situation. All to himself.

Hours later, the family finally makes it home. Lance immediately flops his body onto his comfortable bed. A little bit of dust flies and he waves his hands to be rid of the dusty air. Way too long away from home. Luckily, his mom thinks of relatives to help watch the place and check on everything.

He pulls his cell out of from pocket to see flooding texts from Pidge and Hunk. Can always count on those two to be happy for his return. Best friends he could ask for. Only problem was no response from Keith and nothing from Allura since yesterday. Despite feeling a little lonely, he hopes to meet with everyone tomorrow before Pidge and Hunk head off to college.

Lance tosses aside his phone and sits up on his mattress. He reaches for his back pack to bring out a notebook. Over the holiday, he's been very busy having a huge amount of inspiration to write lyrics. Sure he can write a lot but it was different once you set the sound of music together. This is where he thought Keith could help him out.

As he opens the book, Lance flips through dozens of pages filled with new lyrics. There's a bit of excitement within his gut. He really would like to work on these with Keith when he gets the chance. Also, he can't help but wonder if he'll even one?

Once he flips to the middle of the book, he caresses one particular page. The one he wrote while thinking of Allura. Instead of working on this piece with Keith, he thought it would mean more if he creates everything by himself. For this lyric, he wants to try a different approach in sound rather than use guitar.

While in Cuba, he was definitely busy. Other than spending time with his grandmother most of all. Everything felt so good on the inside during his visit. With those thoughts, he can't help but wonder why Allura wasn't answering like she normally did. She was the one he couldn't wait to see the most. His heart is set on winning her affection.

"Lance! Help Mama bring in the rest of her luggage!" Veronica yells from downstairs.

"Yep!" He quickly shuts his notebook and rushes off his bed, heading towards the main level of the house. "Coming, coming."

It's only the first night of his return yet he already feels more lonely than he did in Cuba. Family is one thing that matters to Lance but his friends held a special place in his heart as well. Hope fully things are more different tomorrow.
