KeithMeLance: Thanks for reading and the first review! :) Yeah I know things are a bit faster than the book but that's because it was originally a roleplay and I don't know how many chapters I'll be writing so I haven't added much extra detail so far.

"Okay, cool" Keith replied back and then pressed the call option on the chat. Okay, you can do this, Keith.

After few moments, Lance had accepted the call. They both finally saw each other. Lance had soft tanned skin and ocean blue eyes. Keith had to admit he was kind of cute in a dorky looking way with long lanky arms wearing a white t-shirt with long blue sleeves. He looked like the kind of person who'd been really good at jokes or really bad... Yeah.. they were definitely the opposite of each other. Opposites attract, right? He hoped that was right. Keith awkwardly smiled. "Um.. thanks for wanting to call." He spoke.

Lance smiled back, Keith could tell he was pretty awkward too, who could blame him? "Y-yea of course.." There was silence. They both were aware of each others near death, what was there to talk about exactly? Keith was saved from the silence as Lance spoke again.

"Professional loner, huh? Seems about right." He gave an awkward chuckled. Did Keith really give off the whole emo, loner vibe? "So what now..?"

Keith was never the one to make these kind of social decisions but considering he was going to die, he didn't really have much choice. Keith shrugged. "Well, now I know you're not some creep, we could, you know.. meet up? There's no way I'm going to sit here all day and wait for death to come. I've got a motorbike, I could pick you up If you text me your address." Lance frowned, fiddling with his fingers looking a bit unsettled.

'That sounds pretty great, where are we going—wait you have a bike? This is all very sudden..ahh" Lance scratched his head. "But er-yeah! I'm up for this. One last adventure right? I'll text you my address. " Keith gave a strange frown accompanied by a small smile at how suddenly excited Lance had gotten: this dude was possible an adorable dork. "Yeah sure, I'll be there as soon as I can." Keith said before hanging up.

He made sure he had enough money, a bag with a few essentials and left a note to his foster parents saying: 'Death called. Not coming back.' Keith grabbed his black beanie and got on his bike, revving the engine ready to leave, he got the text from Lance and didn't hesitate to get going. Luckily he knew the street Lance lived on. It wasn't long till he spotted a tall figure which he guessed was Lance.

9:49 am

Lance had hung up and sent this guy his address. Pretty creepy.

He sighed heavily sitting on his bed, fidgeting his fingers. Lance couldn't face his family right now. It was selfish, really. Not having the strength to tell your family you're going to die today. Instead, Lance wrote a note. Saying that his brothers could have his games and Xbox, his parents could do whatever they wanted with the rest of his stuff, Veronica could have his recently bought headset that she'd secretly borrowed a few times before and swear that she didn't. Lance made sure he had his phone, credit card and money in his pocket that'll be enough to survive the day, or even a few hours...

Lance took one last look at his room before quietly living his home for the last time. He wouldn't be coming back. "Bye guys.." He smiled sadly, closing the door.

After about 10 minutes, Lance heard the sound of a motorbike heading towards his way. Keith was a lot shorter than he imagined, well then again, Lance was pretty damn tall for his age. Reckless emo kid with no helmet... not surprised. Keith drove up next to Lance, staying on his bike. "Hey. Ready to go? Um.. have you said goodbye?" Keith wasn't sure where they'd go exactly but he had a few places that he needed to visit. Lance looked up with a small sad smile on his lips. "The best bye I can give right now.." He shrugged. "I'm ready. You got any plans on where to go...?" He laughed awkwardly as he walked towards the bike. Lance was a bit worried riding this thing since he'd never actually been on one before and that fact that Keith didn't even have at least one helmet...But hey! They were going to die, but Lance practically didn't want to die this way. Not that there's any perfect way of dying anyway.

"Alright." Keith guessed this guy probably had a great loving family and a lot of friends that would miss him, unlike Keith did. "Before we go on this whole 'last adventure' thing, I'd like to see my parents one last time." He struggled with informing Lance that it would be a graveyard they'd be visiting but he'd figure it out once they got there. "Of course." Lance simple nodded, holding on to Keith as he began to rev his engine. "Hold on tight." Keith said. Then they were off. Their last adventure started now.. well sort of.

It took them about 15 minutes to arrived at the graveyard. Then Lance realised. "Oh.. would you like.. I can stay here If you If you'd like, or I can.." Lance had many scenarios running through his head of the different things it could've of meant to meet his parents again, but he definitely did not expect this. Maybe Keith should of informed him. It was quite ironic of them visiting a graveyard. "If it makes you uncomfortable to be here you can or you an come. I don't really want to go alone." Keith shrugged with his head slightly looking down and half turned away to avoid eye contact. Keith began walking as Lance followed behind until they met with two graves side by side. Well shit, poor dude.

Lance felt the heavy mood but he didn't mind. It was selfish, but he wanted to feel as many emotions as he could. He wanted to feel this secondhand pain and then comfort this stranger. It felt like the right emotion to be having at 10:51 on your End Day. Lance was tempted to ask what exactly happened to his parents but he couldn't muster the courage to ask, though it felt like the obvious thing to ask but asking a stranger how their parents died didn't seem like the ideal conversation starter.

"When did they.. you know..?" Lance asked carefully.

"Seven years ago. On the same day." Keith simply replied.

They both stood there in silence until Keith finally spoke. "I guess I'll see you guys soon." He smiled sadly. When they both started to walk away, Keiths phone started to ring. He simply put it on silent not saying a word. Lance noticed, but decided not to mention anything. "Do you have anywhere you'd like to go? I've got a few ideas I guess... you like swimming right?" He said getting back on his bike.

"Yeah I do, we could go to the beach or something, but if you don't like that we don't have to..we don't have all the time in the world." Lance said as he sat behind Keith on his bike. Keith revved the bike. "There's a lake not far away from here. I think you'd like it." He said, managing to smile. "And.. it's the least I could do for taking you here." It was a bit early for a swim but he was past caring now and eventually it would be warm enough to dry themselves off.

"That sounds like fun. Do you know how to swim?" Lance asked. Lance had become a pretty damn good swimmer considering he grew up in Cuba and was a part of the swimming team at his school. Nope, the edgy Keith Kogane could not actually swim. "I can doggy paddle. Does that count?" Keith gave an awkward laugh, feeling a bit embarrassed.

This dude was serious, right? Lance though.

Without another word, the two recently met strangers were on their way to the lake for one last adventure.
