Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
you had loved Keith, always have but maybe it was time for you to move on, after all you're simply teammates.
And now, here you were standing by the doorway as you watched Keith talking with Lance, bickering as usual of course.
Keith turned away from Lance with a huff visibly finally having enough of their endless argument listening to Lance protest against his actions and walks over to the doorway, Y/N spins around so that her back hits the wall, hidden from his sight as he walks by, she holds her breath only resuming once he's far down the hall.
He stops in his tracks and turns around arching his brow at the sight of her attempt at stealth
'' I hope you're aware I can hear you, what's going on, Y/N ''
She looks at him slightly embarrassed at how straightforward he was as she looks around for an excuse before spotting Lance, her gaze flickering back and forth between the two guys
'' I just um, needed to speak to Lance ''
Keith looks at her then at Lance with the slightest bit of resentment only to lower his gaze with a frown and walking away
'' right, Lance ''
She keeps her eyes on him as her confused gaze followed his every movement, was he jealous? she thought before shaking her thoughts away and walking towards the main control room in the castle
" hey, Y/N! "
She jumps at the sudden contact as her back bumps into someone before spinning around briskly to look at them, oh right Lance is still here..
...
I finally got away from him, I had forgotten how talkative the paladin is.. she thought as roamed the halls with no seeming destination anyway. As her eyes scanned through the floor tiles she met a familiar pair of boots who stopped right in front of her, she looks up to meet Keith's eyes who were already locked onto hers
"can I help you?.."
she barked out nervously as his gaze pierced through her heart making her breath seemingly unsteady.
"did you mean it?"
she looked at him in confusion at his sudden question
"mean what?"
She asked tilting her head, his patience was visibly running thin as he grabbed her by the collar making her squeak as he shoved her into the wall
"don't act dumb, Y/N. I'm talking about Lance, how you needed to speak to him, nervously hiding behind the wall squirming like some kind of fangirl, it was pathetic really."
He said venom dripping from his words as he spat the most hurtful words he could muster up in the moment his gaze full of desperation which coudn't be missed from how he grabbed her jaw forcing her to look into his eyes.
She sighs searching for any sign of attraction in his gaze before placing her hand on his wrist
"Keith, what are we?"
He looks at her confused, his eyebrow arching as he searches through her gaze and loosens his hand before dropping it and backing away slightly, pausing for a second
"we're friends Y/N, you know this."
She looks down with a saddened expression still her smile never falters as she walks away from him
"that's what I thought."
