"Wait, Lance has a girlfriend?" Keith nearly spat the food right out of his mouth. How could Lance actually land a girlfriend? Last time he checked every girl in the school rolled their eyes anytime anything came out of his mouth. "Apparently, she doesn't go to school here, they work at the roller ring together." Hunk sat across the table from Keith finishing up his lunch. "Her name's Raven, I met her a few days ago while Lance was working and she seemed pretty interesting." "Interesting how?" Keith raised an eyebrow at him. "She has long black hair and just gives off this super mopey vibe, like she's some sort of emo or something." "Hey, there's nothing wrong with being emo." Keith threateningly held up his fork, almost like he was defending Lance's unknown girlfriend. "Yeah sure okay Mr. I'm still crying about MCR breaking up." As if almost knowing that Keith would be angry he ducked. "Watch it big guy!" This time Keith was about to throw his fork right at Hunk, but his defensive actions told Keith that he probably shouldn't do it anyway.
After lunch class seemed to drag on for Keith, he couldn't get his mind off of Lance and his new girlfriend, but he didn't know why. For some reason the thought of Lance having a girlfriend made Keith feel….Uncomfortable? It wasn't until he felt his phone buzz in his pocket during last period that he was brought back to reality. Shiro had texted him asking if he wanted to join the rest of them tonight for game night, but he quickly typed back that he wasn't feeling well and turned off his phone. Keith didn't want to be near anyone when he felt like this, like he would bring down the whole mood of their fun by just acting abnormally. Making his way through the hallways he made sure to avoid any of his friends because one look at his face would give away that something was wrong, but he wasn't sure what he would say if someone asked.
Once Keith was home he instantly crashed onto his bed and let out a loud sound of defeat. Why did he care so much about Lance having a girlfriend? Why did he not want to like her even though they'd never met? Why didn't Lance ever mention her to them before? He had so many questions and none of them had answers. Flipping over to lay on his back he found himself staring at his ceiling for what felt like a really long time before he even realized that he had totally zoned out. "What am I doing?" He asked himself out loud. "Something's seriously wrong with me." Something had to be wrong with him, he was probably sick or something right? Practically forcing himself up and to his computer he decided to boot up his computer and play some online games. He had to distract himself before he mentally exploded.
Since none of his normal friends were online he decided to just play a few matches by himself but he kept his mic on anyway since it wasn't uncommon for people to meet potential team mates this way. Nothing eventful happened for a few matches but after awhile he came across a group of people using mics and they seemed to have pretty good teamwork together. After a couple of more matches Keith decided to send one of them with the username Childish Gambemo, because she wanted to join him for a few matches later on in the week.
After shutting off his computer Keith checked his phone to see he had texts from Shiro, Pidge, Hunk, and Lance. It was pretty late and he didn't know if he should respond to any of the texts or not. Most of them were asking where he was and if he was feeling alright since he hardly ever missed a game night, but Lance's texts were almost out of the ordinary, he never texted Keith unless it was important. Hunk told me he mentioned Raven to you at lunch today and I brought her by tonight to meet everyone and they all seemed to like her pretty well. Do you want to meet up this weekend to meet her? Keith could do nothing but stare at his screen. He'd taken her to meet the guys that fast? They'd only introduce girlfriends to everyone if they were serious, and this made Keith feel even worse. His honest answer would be no, and he even typed it and let his finger hover over the send button for a few seconds, but that's not what he would normally say to him. He had to support Lance, even if he didn't want to. So he painstakingly typed out three letters and pressed send while he felt his whole body sink into his chair in complete defeat.
