19th of December
Keith couldn't believe his luck when he saw Plaxum sitting in the café, giving him the perfect opportunity to ask her about Lance. As Keith walked fast over to her, he didn't notice the small girl sitting on the opposite side of Plaxum's table.
"Heya, Plaxum, I'm so sorry for surprising you like this, but I have a really important question."
Plaxum looked up at him surprised, and her eyes looked concerned to something – someone – behind Keith.
"Hi, Keith. What can I do for you?" Plaxum said with a small smile.
"Are you and Lance dating?" Keith said, and Plaxum's face immediately changed into complete confusion.
"I know it's a weird question, but I saw a text you send to him and… you know" Keith said, feeling his cheeks heat up as he talked, now realising just how bad it sounded.
"You looked at his phone without permission?… Don't answer that. No, Lance and I are not dating. I don't date taken people, and I'm actually dating someone else" Plaxum said, looking behind Keith again, now with a loving smile.
As the girl finish her sentence, a soft 'Aw' sounded behind Keith. The raven-haired boy immediately recognised the voice. He wiped around to look at the person, also known as Katie 'Pidge' Holt.
"You are… You are dating?" Keith said stunned, looking between the girls.
"Yeah, we are," Pidge said with a big smile.
"Oh hey Keith, look at my cute girlfriend," Pidge said happily, gesturing towards Plaxum.
Plaxum blushed deeply at the command and turned her face away from Pidge. The reaction only made the short girl smile bigger.
"Stop, Katie," Plaxum said weakly with a shy smile.
"I'm sorry for disrupting your date," Keith said awkwardly, looking between the girls.
"It's fine, Keith, I had been thinking about telling people anyway," Pidge said with a reassuring smile.
Keith stood up and gave a slight nod before starting to walk away. Pidge stopped him before he could get far, though.
"Why did you ask if they were dating?" Pidge asked, very confused.
She had been the one to encourage Lance to talk to Keith the night between the 14th and 15th December, but something clearly had gone wrong for it to be like this.
"Eh, you know that message I asked Plaxum about? It said something about having had fun together and love you" Keith said, slightly embarrassed.
"OH! That message was meant for Pidge. It was a 'thank you' for our first date. Pidge and I text so frequently that I wasn't used to it not being her highest in my phone, so I accidentally sent it to Lance" Plaxum explained.
"The only reason it was Lance who got the message is that I had sent him a congratulation text about your relationship" Plaxum added quickly.
"I'm the biggest idiot ever to exist," Keith said devastated.
Why hadn't he just believed Lance?
"Lance told me he didn't know anything about the message and that it was probably just a wrong number accident" Keith explained to the girls sadly.
"When you should probably apologise to him," Pidge said quite annoyed, making Keith nod agreeing.
"I should, and have fun on your date, you look cute together," Keith said and waved his goodbye as he left the girls alone.
A/N: Yes, Plaxum and Pidge are dating, It wasn't supposed to happen, but it did, and I think they are cute together. Keith now knows that he is a big idiot, and he is planning to apologise. Klance is closer to canon!
