~Third Person P.O.V~
*Play song when instructed to*
Lance was wakened to the sound of his sister's harsh early morning yelling. Groaning he flipped onto his stomach, hauling the pillow over his head in the process.
"Shut the hell up Ronnie, it's way too fucking early!" He grumbled, his voice suppressed by the mattress.
"That's the point dumbass, you have a road trip to get ready for remember?" She snickered, grabbing him by the ankles and pulling.
Fighting back the urge to rip her to shreds Lance accepts his fate, he barely got any sleep the previous night, due to the nightmares that plague him. The same nightmares of being back at the-
"The Kogane's will be here in two hours, and you take the longest to get ready, mama sent me up here to wake you." Veronica explained, cupping her brother's face tenderly. "You need sleep," She commented, running her thumbs under his eyes.
"Well, gee Ronnie- what the fuck do you think I was doing before you woke me up?" He replied, sarcasm oozing from his mouth.
She smiles, planting a kiss on his forehead before sauntering off. Lance sighed, laying down on the floor for a few minutes before getting up to get ready.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Lance come on man they're outside!" Luis called up, him and Marco already hauling their suitcases outside.
Mumbling a string of curse words under his breath Lance come bustling downstairs pulling on the strings of his hoodie to ease his building anxiety. The cold, early-morning air nipped at his skin, his cheeks slightly getting rosy after being out for just a short period of time.
"Be careful you three- and no fighting! Oh, Lance don't forget to take your medicine!" Rosa reminded him, feeling her own forms of anxiety from being away from her sons.
"Okay mama!" He called back, stuffing his luggage with the rest in the trunk.
The car was fairly big, a shiny black on the outside, with tan leather interior on the inside, and having three rows of seats.
Mr. Kogane sat in the driver seat, Krolia right next to him. Shiro, Marco and Luis all sat in middle row, the twins sending death glares to the duel-haired boy, Shiro scooting as far away as possible from the two. Then, Keith and Lance, stuck all the way in the back.
The first hour or so was quiet, Luis had fell asleep on Marco's shoulder, while the wide awake twin of the pair was reading a book. Oldies music from the radio filled the car's heavy silence, while the two up front sang along to it, little by little, bit by bit, they turned the music up on full blast.
Keith, being the insomniac that he is, was tired but no matter how hard he tried, still no sleep. So he opted from music instead, pulling out his phone he plugged his earphones in, turning it all the way up to drown out the radio.
*Play song you losers*
So I never really knew you
God I really tried to
Blindsided, addicted
Felt we could really do this
But really I was foolish
Hindsight it's
ObviousTalking with my lawyer she said
"Where'd you find this guy?"
I said, "Young people fall in love"
"With the wrong people sometimes"
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okayYou can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get madeThat's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of the story babe
Oh, ohOh-ooh-oh
Woo, oh
Oh-ooh
It's funny how a memoryTurns into a bad dream
When running wild turns volatile
Remember how we painted our house?
Just like my grandparents did, so romantic
But we fought the whole time
Should have seen the signs, yeah
Talking with my mother she said
"Where'd you find this guy?"
I said, "Some people fall in love"
"With the wrong people sometimes"
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of the story babe
Oh, oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Woo, oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Woo, oh
Oh-ooh
They say it's better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all
That could be a load of shit
But I just need to tell you all
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just engaged
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of the story
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end it's better for me
That's the moral of the story babe
Oh, oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Woo, oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Woo, oh
Oh-ooh, ohOh, oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Woo, oh
Oh-ooh
*End song losers*
By the time the song was finished he had realized he was singing along, fortunately the radio was still blasting, so no one heard him.
If Keith took the time to look over while he was, he would have noticed Lance's mouth moving along to lyrics, singing with him.
But, he didn't.
After another hour or so of driving they pulled into a gas station off the highway, to fill up gas, use the restroom, etc.
"Okay," Mr. Kogane started, "does anyone have to use the bathroom?" he asked, looking at everyone in the rear-view mirror.
"Just so you all know- we won't be stopping again for another few hours." Krolia added, with that the boys got out, all except Lance and Keith.
Giving them a skeptical look Krolia raised an eyebrow. "You sure you both don't need to use the bathroom?" She pressed, her tone matching her dubious expression.
They both muttered small, 'Yes's' in response. When in actuality, the two were both too tired and stubborn to get out. So, if they did have to use the restroom, they would just have to wait now.
It was soundless for a few minutes, both of them too awkward to start a conversation. Until-
"Oh shit, um- excuse me I have to get past you real quick." Lance said, Keith moved, while the Cuban slithered past and found his way to his suitcase. Puling out his earphones from one of the pockets he plugs them in his phone, only to discover it had died. "Damn it,"
"I uh- have a portable charger you can use." Keith suggested, waving said charger around a bit.
Lance blushed, cursing himself mentally for doing so, "Thanks," he mumbled.
There was another bite of silence before Keith spoke up again. "I also have a duel headphone adapter, I was gonna watch Netflix if you want to with me." He mumbled, averting Lance's gaze.
Lance was stunned for a bit, it slowly dawned on him that Keith was nothing like his brother.
"Sure," He replied with a smile.
------------------------------------------
It had taken everyone a good twenty minutes to come back, seeing as though there was a fast food restaurant right next to the gas station, they picked up some food for all of them.
Once they were back in the car they were met with the sounds of snoring. Confused, they all turned, only to find Lance and Keith asleep...cuddling.
Lance had his arms wrapped around Keith's waist, his head buried deep into the crook of his neck. Keith had moved in his sleep, so they were both laying across the seat, chest to chest. The raven-haired boy had his arms resting on Lance's back.
"Well they sure hit it off." Mr. Kogane commented, a warm smile placed on his face.
