KEITH
Of course Lance was with Allura.
Of course he was touching her arm.
Something felt different though.
There he was standing, talking and doing his stupid laugh the one Keith hated but loved at the same time. It was the laugh reserved for the people he flirted with, that was something Keith learned almost instantly. He knows each of his different kinds of laughs, and it was definitely because he spent so much time in space with him and not because he had a very big crush on him.
Enveloped in his thoughts about Lance's laughter he never realized that he had been staring at the two of them for longer than normal. Lance and Allure both noticed though and had stopped their conversation in order to stare back.
"Hey Mullet, everything alright?" Lance's voice snapped Keith out of whatever trance he was in causing both a twist in his stomach and a look of distaste to mold onto his face.
Grunting Keith looked away from them. This was only met with a large sigh from Lance and Keith could swear that he heard Lance's eyes roll. Lance then went on to complain to Allura about how weird Keith had been recently and how he's such a downer. Each time his name was mentioned was a stab to the gut, Keith wasn't even mad about what Lance was saying – it's just how Lance is – it was more so how angry Lance's ignorance made him. Keith's fists tightened as he talked.
"Lance – "
His anger sliced through the air and almost instantly the other two stopped in their conversation. Allura looked at Keith with a face of concern and Keith could swear he saw the same look in Lance's face. God he was annoying, it was always mixed signals with him and that only managed to fuel Keith's anger. Before Lance could even breathe, Keith was up and out of the room moving quickly towards the room the Garrison provided for him. Slamming the door behind him Keith could only wish that the picture in his mind of Lance looking like a kicked puppy would not be able to follow him into his room.
And as always – it didn't.
Keith fell onto his uncomfortable Garrison dorm bed and laid his head on the uncomfortable Garrison dorm pillow and stared at the plain dorm ceiling. This was something he did often, he felt weird being back in the dorm. It had been years since he was kicked out of the Garrison and that was something that ate at him constantly. Now he felt uncomfortable and heartbroken, now he couldn't shake the disappointment Shiro would have had in him and the stupid straight boy in the lobby talking to the pretty girl.
"Quiznak you Lance," Keith whispered. This wasn't like him at all, he managed to distract himself by leading the team and defeating Sendak as well as every other thing out there to destroy the world and Voltron but that was now over. It was like now he himself was the thing he had to fight, and none of the other paladins could help him. At least he felt like that was the case. Closing his eyes he started to take deep breaths and things were going fine till he heard a knock on the door.
