Keith's POV

Lance was on the floor with a bewildered and flustered expression on his face.

I noticed he turned red at the sight of me. I offered a hand up and surprisingly, he took it.

Sure, I blame him for interupting my training, but I somehow forgive him.

"H-hi, K-Keith. Sorry i-if I interupted what you were doing. I wanted to tell you to keep the noise down."

*Keep the noise down? What?* "Whatever, Lance. Now can you explain why you came over here?" I asked.

I barely realize I was still holding his hand, his warm, soothing- wait. I let go and also get flustered, which never happened to me before. "C-Can y-y-you leave p-please, Lance?" "Sure, Keith"

After Lance leaves, I literally have an emotional breakdown. What was I doing back there? I was holding Lance's hand. Lance's hand for crying out loud!!!

I don't know if I could ever tell Lance that I truly care about him.

That I- what is the correct word for this feeling? Love? Yeah, that's it. That I love him. The only thing holding me back is to how I'm going to tell him.

*Lance's POV*

He didn't just throw me under the bus or in our case, out into space.

I bet he's having a mental breakdown on what just happened. I didn't mean to break him, I just wanted to see him doing what he does.

After all, the only reason I'm his rival is because we just want to prove to each other who's better.

I guess I already know who won anyway. I try to be his equal the best I can, but it's like if I was meant to be his opposite. No matter how much I try to tell him I love him, the words won't come out.

I have been through worse, what's a little love confession gonna do to you?

Make your .exe mentality to stop working, that's what. I need to find the perfect place and time to tell him. I know the perfect place. The space mall!!

Dun dun dun!
