Keith was sick and tired of all the girls and boys who would practically fling themselves at him. Just because he was single and his family was rich didn't mean he was ripe for the picking.
No one spotted him leaving his lush apartment building. He wore an average outfit that consisted of an old red hoodie, sunglasses, dark grey sweats, and a pair of sneakers that have definitely seen better days. All Keith wanted to do was have a normal day. One that wouldn't end up with him having to deal with Shiro constantly nagging him about work and that he really needed to be there.
It wasn't like the place would be a total wreck if he wasn't there. Now if Shiro were gone, oh boy would the company go down in flames.
Keith kept on walking down the empty street. Head held low as he made his way to the nearest restaurant. Keith was hungry and wanted a burger with cheese fries. The thought made his mouth water as he headed straight into an almost deserted diner. He panicked as he bumped into a girl.
"Watch where you're going asshole!" She screeched and brushed past Keith to sit at a booth with her friends. He wasn't surprised, some girls were just like that and Keith didn't mind. It was better than having them fawn over him just because he was rich.
He sat down and ordered his food, the waitress was alright, she did her job and filled Keith's cup with vanilla coke every time it was close to being empty. The food was good, fast food is the best kind of food. At least in Keith's opinion it was. Shiro on the other hand would beg to differ. He was the kind of guy who enjoyed home cooked meals.
Hanging from one of the walls was a large TV. Keith groaned when he saw the most recent clip of him and Shiro attending a meeting regarding their family's company. From where he was sitting he heard the girl from before telling her friends that she would love to get to know Keith. He rolled his eyes and continued to devour his burger.
The channel switched to one talking about the latest gossip and whoa and behold Keith was the center of attention.
"Hey! Turn up the volume!" The girl shouted, her expression was demanding as the waitress fumbled with the remote. Keith felt sorry for the waitress and made a mental note to give her a large tip. She didn't deserve this kind of treatment.
"Too bad CEO Takashi Shirogane of Voltron Enterprises is off the market. The young CEO is engaged to the beautiful Allura, the heiress of Altea. The fashion brand that is out of this world. But don't worry the young CEO's brother is single as far as we know." The woman explained.
Keith tried to drown out the sound and enjoy his food. But it was difficult to say the least. The girls sitting a few booths behind him were being loud.
"Rumors say that Keith Kogane is also into guys. So watch out! There's more competition to win the young executive's heart."
Keith chuckled darkly to himself. There wasn't much competition, since when exactly was he into girls. Not in a long time, that's for sure. He finished his meal and left the place before the waitress could question him. She heard a distinct squeal and would've loved to see the look of surprise on the girl's face.
He walked around the neighborhood some more. Until he noticed someone following him. A man with a camera was acting sketchy behind the bushes of the nearby park. Just to make sure this guy was paparazzi he started to walk a bit faster. Nothing too suspicious. From the corner of his eye he saw the guy pick up the pace. Keith cursed under his breath and made it around a corner where he bumped into a guy.
"Hey! Watch your step!" A guy around his age exclaimed, looking a bit disgruntled.
"Sorry." He glanced behind him and saw the guy with the camera get closer. "Shit, come with me."
"Why would I go with you?"
"Just shut up and trust me." Keith grabbed the guy's hand and started to run through the park.
"Where the heck are we going?"
"Somewhere away from that guy." Keith explained nodding his head to the direction of the offender.
"Whoa a creepy stalker?"
"You could say that."
They ended up running through the streets a bit more. Before Keith was positive that the man was gone. He and the guy stopped, both out of breath, they took cover in an alley.
"Mind telling me what that was about?" The guy breathed.
"Sorry, I'm kind of famous."
"Oh sure, and I'm the Tooth Fairy. Cut the crap."
"It's true, I'm Keith Kogane," he explained. To further prove his point he removed his sunglasses and took his hoodie off. The other gaped at him.
"...Ok. But why did you pull me along?"
"I don't know! It was just pure instinct. I didn't think, all I thought about was getting away from the paparazzi."
"Okay, I believe you. So you're Keith Kogane, brother of Takashi Shirogane of Voltron Enterprises. I see, well it was nice meeting you. I'm leaving now," the guy stated and was walking away from the alley.
Keith dropped the urge to follow him. The man waved, and gave Keith a small smile before he walked out of the alley. Keith should've paid more attention to his surroundings and not to the cute smile that he received from the stranger he happened to drag around. Because there was a flash and Keith blinked a few times before he could lunge at the poor fool who took the photo. The culprit was long gone as Keith rubbed at his eyes and grumbled under his breath.
"Damn. I didn't catch his name."
