AN (pre-chapter) - Alright, before someone freaks out about Keith's birthday being wrong... I started this before they came out with the Paladin's Handbook and before they revealed Keith's birthday, so yes, his birthday is the day after Pidge's in this story. It was just too much work to go back and rewrite and chapters that involve his birthday. I'm sorry that it is inaccurate.
Next, thank you Bookish Child for the comment. I'm glad I'm still getting reviews despite not posting for awhile and I know schools have started up again so there's homework to be done.
Keith & Lance: Get on with it!
Pidge: Zombie, you have to post 2 chapters today to start where you want it to start!
Hunk: Pidge's right!
Me: I know! I already have them written, I just have to edit. Sheesh.
Allura & Coran: She doesn't own Voltron or any of it's characters.
Shiro: Enjoy!
Me: Aww..that's my line. :(
Sophomore year (Winter/Spring):
Winter (Keith's POV):
"Wait, you're sure he won't know it's from me?" I ask Pidge nervously.
"Yes, Keith. Your soulmate won't know it's you." She replies, her soulmate standing behind her. The beginning of this year, she started referring to herself as female. She said she doesn't care, but it's so much easier to say she/her/hers than they/their/theirs. Her soulmate is the 'popular' type, and every guy wanted to be with her. Then she got her Soulmate Pen and they all stopped. No one believed her when she said she was lesbian until then. Hell, I still didn't until they showed me their matching Soul Tats. We get our Soul Tats when we meet our soulmate face-to-face, but we have to know their name. Pidge said she knows me and my soulmate have met, but because we refuse to tell each other our name, it won't happen. She and Hunk apparently figured it out. "Please, tell me what he thinks." "I will." She replies.
Spring (Lance's POV):
"Wait, you're sure he'll use it?" I ask Pidge. We're window shopping, and Pidge's soulmate, Rover, had pointed out a headband perfect for my soulmate.
"Of course he will!" Rover interjects, "I mean, he didn't think you would use your present!"
"But it's not even Christmas anymore!" I exclaim, fiddling with the blue clip holding my bangs out of my face. "Wouldn't it be weird if he just got a random present from me?"
Pidge shakes her head, "Nope! His birthday is close to mine. I'll tell him that I told you his birthday is coming up, and you wanted to get him something to repay the Christmas present."
I sigh, "Fine. And then we leave."
~Time skip to middle of April, Soccer tryouts~
"Alright boys, RUN!" Coach Coran instructs us. We start running. "Hey, where'd you get that clip?" Keith asks, running up beside me. "Huh? Oh! My sister gave it to me last summer as a birthday gift." I reply, touching the ocean blue clip holding my bangs back.
"Oh, nice. I was curious cuz it's one I saw in a store before."
"Oh, cool. That's probably where my sister got it." I reply, Keith just nods. 'Things have been awkward since Christmas last year, when Shiro found us cuddling on their couch in front of the fire.' "What about your headband?" I ask, motioning to the black band in his hair.
"It's a birthday gift from my brother's girlfriend. It's an active headband, reversible black/red."
"Oh, cool."
We finish our run in relative silence. We end up as me forward, and him keeper.
AN (post-chapter) - Yay! Continue reading to the next chapter because I uploaded 2 today!
