And before anyone asks, yes, I know how to actually spell the word know, but when I text or email I usually drop the 'w' because I'm a lazy American and don't like to type correctly. And please, don't come after me for the 'lazy American' line, it's just a joke.

I don't own any of the characters from Voltron Legendary Defender or any content that might seem familiar from the show.

Oh and if anyone's confused, the italics are used for emails if they're used for several lines or sentences, but I also use them for emphasis on words.

Dear Loverboy,

I don't kno why I'm writing back to you. I kno nothing about you, and I don't kno what you want or who you are. I hope you kno that I'm not expecting anything from this because you're a stranger and you could be a fifty year old man that is a creepy pedophile but I want to kno why you decided to send me a note today in the park because it's been nagging at me ever since this morning.

Sincerely,

Emo Park Boy

Keith lets out a breath and shuts the lid on his computer so he wouldn't dwell on it, or at least he thought he wouldn't dwell on it. But for the entire day he was checking his phone for a notification that Loverboy had responded to him. But he didn't for the entire day. Keith was antsy and anxious for the majority of the afternoon and evening, and when he went to meet his friends they noticed immediately. "Okay Keith, you're always checking your phone, you're not talking to us, what's up? Do you have a new beau or something?" Pidge gains a mischievous glint in her eye. "Are you waiting for some naughty texts?"

Keith rolls his eyes. "No, my professor said he would send details about our new assignment later today and I want to know so I can start it later."

Keith was a natural liar, so creating a scenario about an assignment instead of telling his friends that he was waiting for an anonymous reply from some dude named Loverboy that sent a message to him in the park, seemed like a better answer. But it didn't seem like Allura bought it. "Really? All my professors give us details in class. Were you not paying attention?"

Keith shrugs, "it's for my photography class, so it's pretty boring. I doodles on my notebook for most of the class and didn't start paying attention until he said something about an assignment. I talked to him and he said that he'd send me the details since I, 'didn't bother paying attention and I was too good for the class'. So I'm waiting for it."

Allura, Shiro, and Pidge share a look before turning back to Keith and saying simultaneously, "that's bullshit."

Keith rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. "Riiiiiight, so you guys think I have some new boyfriend or girlfriend that I'm seeing now? Is that it?"

His three friends nod, once again all at the same time and Keith throws up his hands in annoyance. "Not everything is about romance ya know!"

Allura giggles, "c'mon Keith. In the time that I've known you, you've never had a boyfriend or girlfriend. Don't you want to try and date someone? Have you ever even dated?"

Keith shakes his head. "I have no desire to devote my time to someone else that'll end up ditching me when they think they've found some other sorry douche that's 'better'. I don't need to waste my time when I'm perfectly happy alone."

Shiro shrugs, "we just want what's best for you Keith. Take Allura and I, we've been much happier since we got together. Who knows, you could find someone that makes you happy enough that you wouldn't mind devoting your time to."

The student in the leather jacket scoffs, "yeah, I doubt anyone can be that special."

Just as he replied, his phone buzzed in his pocket and he jumps, causing his three friends to widen their eyes. "Keith are you okay?"

He nods quickly, "yeah, I'm fine. My professor just emailed me and it scared me."

They nod in understanding and he pulls out his phone to see what had scared him.

One New Message From: Loverboy3752

Keith opens the message and quickly reads through the email.

Dear Emo Park Boy,

Yeah, I understand that it's kinda strange, but I can promise you that I am not a 50 year old man that is into younger children. I am a 22 year old college student that attends Voltron University in Altea. I am majoring in Education and minoring in Foreign Language. If you want I can give you the phone number for my professor if you want to confirm that I am who I say I am? But anyway, if you wanna kno more about me I have dark brown hair, pretty dark tan skin, I am covered in freckles pretty much from head to toe because of how much I'm out in the sun when I visit my family in Cuba, and I have dark blue eyes. I am the middle child, literally, with three siblings older than me and three that are younger than me, and I have eight cousins, four nephews, five nieces, and two of my grandparents are still alive and all of my family lives within the same block of each other, and I'm the only one in my family currently in America. I'm 6'0 tall, I live with my roommate Hunk, I am single, and I have a strange fascination with cats, especially big ones, like lions. My favorite color is blue, and I'm not usually too chicken to not talk to you in person but you were really hot and it caught me off guard and I got nervous. So, anyway. That's a little bit about me. I hope you decide to at least email me back if you want to try being friends, even if it's just through emails.

Sincerely,

Loverboy

Keith shuts his phone off as soon as he's done reading the message and looks back up to see his friends staring at him intently. "What the hell are you doing?"

They all smile at him, "that expression that you had, that was totally not your professor." Pidge informs him with a shit eating grin. "So spill, who is he or she?"

Keith crosses his arms with a huff. "I'll have you know, there is no significant he or she. It actually was my professor."

Shiro raises his eyebrow, "oh really? So you wouldn't mind letting us see the email?"

Keith rolls his eyes and scrolls through his emails until he found one from his professor about an old project. With a little tweaking, he hid the date and time that it was sent at and he hands his phone over. His friends read over the message, and their grins slowly disappear to disappointed frowns. "Oh." They all say in tandem as Shiro hands the phone back to a very smug Keith.

"Told ya."

Pidge leans back in her seat with a pout. "But you looked so excited! I thought for sure there was a lover or something!"

Keith scoffs, "right, unless you suddenly want to make it seem like 'my lover' is a 60 year old man with balding spots, a bad attempt at a comb over, and someone that dresses in sweater vests, khakis, and old loafers."

Allura and Shiro snort, trying to contain their laughter while Pidge gives him a look. "Now that's just condescending."

Keith collects his stuff and stands up. "Yeah, well you deserve it. Now I should get home to start the project, otherwise I might forget."

After their goodbyes Keith hurries back to his dorm and opens his computer.

Dear Loverboy,

I'm not sure what to do right now. I want to see where this goes, but on the other hand I don't entirely kno what's going to come out of it. I think we can start by being friends, although I'm still skeptical about who you say you are. Granted, that's a lot of detail if you were, in fact, a faker. But anyone can make up a story. I've done it many times in class to keep myself occupied. Thank you for sharing all of that, and I'll just have to stow my doubt since it would be nice to have someone else to talk to that I didn't grow up with.

Sincerely,

A very uncertain Emo Park Boy
