Keith was fine.
Lance didn't believe it. C'mon, Keith looked liked he never got any sleep. And he looked liked never ate. Now that Lance thought of it, he hadn't seen him eat in a while.
"I'm fine." He insisted everyday.
Lance didn't buy it. Now...
Pidge smiled at everyone, knowing that I was probably struggling. "C'mon guys, allow Keith to get one for me."
I smiled in thanking her before returning thinking, "I dare you to kiss the person on your left."
She looked to her left. It was Coran. I let out a small laugh that made Lance raise an eyebrow.
She blushed and took a shot, "f*ck hangovers."
We carried on. Shiro was dared to talk in a Britain accent until three turns were over, Lance was given a truth about who his crush was and he took a shot.
Coran was dared to do the sexy end screen dance (Spaniel Howell? I don't know) and that made us all laugh and burst into giggles. Hunk was told to run around shirtless for a minute and he just shouted 'NO SHAME' before doing so.
As we carried on, I was the only one that had not taken a shot.
"Keittttthhhhhh~" Lance slurred after his 5th shot. He looked so vulnerable, smiling drunkly, and looking at me flirty-ly.
"Dare."
"Mmmm..."
I waited patiently, studying Lance's concentrated face. He looked up, smiling widely, "I dare you t-to kiss me."
My eyes widened and I almost fell of the log I was sat on. Pidge smirked and bursts into a fit of small giggles and Shiro smirked.
Hunk smiled, "ooooohhhh~ I ship it."
I downed a shot. Pidge groaned, "c'mon Keith! It's not the end of th' world. We all know you two have feelings for each otherrrrr!"
"What?!" I shouted, standing. Luckily, being part alien the vodka wouldn't affect me until maybe the 5th shot.
"Yeah! C'mon!"
"Hey hey hey, guys- don't force him to do stuff." Shiro smiled warmly despite having 3 shots.
I smiled at him, "besides, I've already had my shot... Uh.... Who's next?"
We carried on for maybe an hour and Lance looked like he might pass out.
"I think we should stop this now. It's not good for you." I said. I had only had 4 shots and I still felt great.
Shiro nodded wearily and stood up, swaying slightly. We all went our separate ways.
I was about to leave too but them Lance said this, "heyyyy~ Keithy boy."
I turned to face him, he was a few inches away from me. Lance's expression was clear, it was filled with lust and exhaustion. Lance wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled us closer.
"L-La-Lance! Stop!" I demanded, getting flustered quickly. He giggled and kissed my forehead, "na-huh."
"Let me go!" "Do you like me?" NO. "Y-" "Boys! Go to bed!"
Lance snapped out of it and loosened his grip and immediately let go, running away with a blushing face.
"Keith!" He shouted in protest as I ran towards my red tent. When I got that, I zipped it up as quickly as possible, covering my blushing face.
Quiznak, I had to almost say I loved him... Didn't I? I'm such a fucking screw up. I could have ruined our friendship. I could have ruined everything! Everything I had worked so hard to create! I'm such a screw up...
I only realised I was sobbing when I felt my face, tears were streaming down it. I let out a shaky breath before taking of my shirt and lied down on my bed, curling up in the blankets.
It was maybe minutes, hours but i didn't care. The blanket was damp with my tears. My eyes were definitely red and puffy. My cheeks were wet with them.
I panted and coughed until my throat was sore. I felt someone touch my arm, I flinched away and opened my eyes.
It was Hunk, "hey... Uh... Are you ok?"
I coughed and pulled the blanket over my head, "I-no..."
Hunk pulled me into a soft hug. I rested my head on his chest, crying into his jumper.
I didn't care that I had no shirt on.
I didn't care that I was letting him see my insecurities.
I didn't care.
There was nothing worth living for in this universe.
There was nothing.
Hunk stroked circles into my back, sighing as my sobs came to a stop. I fell asleep in the comfort of my friend's arms.
