AN (pre-chapter) - Lance Soulmate Writing. Keith Soulmate Writing 'This is the human thinking to themselves or talking to their partner, unless they're talking out loud "This is their partner talking to them or each other."
Ok, so what happened was that I went to edit this, because this was my original writing from back in May/June time frame, and boy did it need some editing. The problem was that due to how my brain works (for some unknowingly annoying reason) My simple 2-ish pages of writing kind of turned into just of 3 page writing. So, with the help of my friends, Nikki and Charisma, I decided to split the Halloween chapter into 2 parts, and upload part 1 today, and part 2 tomorrow (on Halloween). So, I hope you enjoy. I do not own Voltron or any of the characters, besides some of the teacher names that I came up with on spot because I needed names for some of the teachers.
Also, thank you to L.T.A.15 for the favorite and follow on this story.
ENJOY
Pt. 1 Friday, October 31st-All Hallows Eve (Fall) (Keith's POV):
I open my locker, shoving my duffel bag in and pulling the books I need for my first 4 classes, planning on exchanging them at lunch. As I pull out my last book I need, my locker gets slammed shut. I sigh, "What do you want, Lance?" I glare at him from my peripheral vision.
"Pidge wants to know if you're going to the Halloween dance tonight." he smirks.
"Probably not, I've been busy."
"With what?"
"Working on my bike. Now, goodbye." I walk away as I hear the 5 minute bell. I can hear Pidge ask Lance what our interaction was about, but that's it before I'm out of earshot. I sit down in my seat, and hide my face in my arms. Due to my Soulmate being angry last night, I barely got any sleep because of him. He wouldn't reply to anything I wrote last night. I want to comfort him, but it's hard, not knowing who he is. "You should tell him who you are." 'I can't Red. I'm probably not who he's expecting me to be. And besides, I have to deal with Lance.' I hear the desk behind me being sat in, but I don't move, knowing it's just Lance. The tardy bell rang like, 30 seconds ago, but Lance doesn't ever care until his ability to play soccer is on the line. But I have to deal with it every class. English Lit, Geography, Wood-shop, Biology, Auto Shop, Gym, and Calculus. The only time I can get away from him is Lunch, which is right in between Wood-shop and Biology. Unfortunately we're lab partners in Biology. "Uggg."
"Kogane, please keep your moaning quiet."
"Sorry, Mrs. Hughs." I hear Lance chuckle. "Busted, Mullett."
"McClain! No talking during class!"
"Sorry, Ma'am." I smirk.
~Time skip to Calculus~
Arrrrrrrg. I'm TERRIBLE with Calculus.
Yeah? You remind me of this emo kid I've known my entire life.
Are you implying I'm emo?
Of course not, mi amor. I mean, you guys are similar, but no.
Glad you finally replied, love.
I'm sorry about last night. My sister came home with her soulmate, and my mom wasn't too pleased at first. And when she finally accepted it, I blew up because she didn't accept my aunt.
Oh.
"Um… Ms. Calze?" I raise my hand.
"Go on, Keith. You really need to talk to Mr. Shirogane about your work schedule." I stand up, shoving everything into my backpack. "I've tried, I'm sorry." I make my way to the door, and I can feel Lance glaring at me. "He's just jealous you always leave early." Red purrs in my ear. 'I know.' I respond. I make my way to my locker, shoving the rest of my books into my backpack, and pull out my duffel bag. Suddenly I feel a cool sting in the back of my head, "Well, L is mad about something. Ms. Calze knows what really happens when I leave early, but she has to put on a show to help me keep it secret.' " I walk outside and get on my motorcycle, and head towards Shiro's venue. It's a multi-purpose place. Kickboxing and martial arts dojo on the first floor, mainly because of me; a dance studio on the second floor, because of Allura; and a DJ and party venue on the third floor because of the high school. And I happen to be having a martial arts tournament there today.
~Time skip to end of tournament~
'Whoop. Big surprise, I won my sections.' I tell Red lamely, shoving stuff back into my duffel, putting my earrings in after Red transformed from house cat size, to earrings.. She purrs in amusement. "Keith!" I turn and Shiro is jogging to me, school must be over if he's here. "Hey, can you please stay and DJ for the Halloween Dance?"
"I thought you found someone?" I question.
"I… uh…. Lied about that." He smiles sheepishly and scratches the back of his neck.
"So you were waiting for last minute, so you could guilt trip me?" I try to make my voice sound upset, but I'm too tired to try very hard.
"And…?"
I sigh, "It worked, as always." I narrow my eyes and glare at him.
"Stop saying no, and I'll stop guilt tripping you." he smirks back in response.
"Fine. Let me go shower and get my costume." I reply, and Shiro nods, heading to the third floor to start setting up. I head home on my motorcycle, quickly showering and grabbing my costume before heading back. Shiro always host the high school parties because of 1) he's dating the principle, 2) he's a teacher, and 3) everyone loves him. In school, he's the favorite teacher of males and females alike, outside of school, they treat him like he's our age, despite him being 7 years older than most of the kids he teaches.
~Time rewind and POV change to Lance.~
I glare at his back as he leaves. 'It's not fair! I have a job too, and you don't see me leaving class early almost every day!' "Red explained that there is no way to change his schedule." Blue purrs, trying to calm me down. I can feel Blue purr from where she's a necklace around my bell rings, and I dash out the door, trying to catch Keith. As I get outside, I see Keith taking off on his motorcycle. 'Dammit.' My shoulders slump, and then tense when someone taps my shoulder. I turn, and see Hunk and Pidge. "Yo. I have practice, but I'll meet you when I get home. You guys are welcome to come watch." With that I wink at Pidge, and she flips me off. I know she knows I'm joking, and I know she and her Soulmate are together. Hunk chuckles, dragging Pidge to the pool. I go to the locker rooms and change, and head to practice. Afterwards, we head to Kiser Apartments. On our way in, we walk past a familiar motorcycle. 'I can feel the heat from it recently being ran.' "Well, someone just got home." I grumble, looking to Pidge and Hunk, They exchange a glance before laughing. "What?"
"Don't you know whose that is?" Pidge asks as we head upstairs.
"It looks familiar.." I reply, unlocking my front door, Pidge and Hunk following me inside. My family went on a cruise, and I stayed home. I'm determined to find my Soulmate before Christmas because I want to take him to the Christmas Party Shiro throws every year, even if he's not ready. We get ready, and get into my truck. I notice the motorcycle is gone as well. We show up 30 minutes late, or as I like to call it - fashionably late. I notice a motorcycle in the parking lot of the venue, but it's too dark to see the color. 'Maybe my soulmate drives a motorcycle. That'd be cool.' "Well, my peeps, lets get this party started!" I yell as we walk in the door.
"Hey, Lance?" Pidge yells to me over the thumping bass of DJ Raven, about an hour later.
"Hmm?"
"I think DJ Raven is your Soulmate!"
"That's ridiculous." I respond, eyeing said DJ.
"Buddy, take a close look at his arms." I hear Hunk from my other side. I do take a look, and what do you know. There, on pale skin, is my chicken scratch and his cursive. "No fucking way." "Good luck buddy." Hunk says before disappearing with his Soulmate.
"Oh! There's Rover!" I hear Pidge say and then she's gone. 'No fucking way is DJ Raven my Soulmate.'
AN (post-chapter) - Well, I added more to this after putting it in the Doc Manager. This is sort of a filler chapter, but also has insight to what Keith does and how Lance loves to party, and is getting desperate to meet him Soulmate. It also shows how Keith tends to be roped into doing things for his brother that he doesn't exactly want to do. Like, he loves to DJ, but not a huge fan of parties. And just a forewarning, the Halloween Dance is actually a Masquerade Halloween Dance. So in the next chapter will be a link to the picture of the masks, and who wear which mask.
