Voltron KLANGST oneshot—I thought we were friends

Modern high school au

Lance's friends had been rather distant from him recently. It was beginning to bother him a little.

Ever since Alurra had started dating Lotor,(*Inner lancelot panic attack*) Hunk and Pidge had started to drift away from him. 

They all would either brush him off, or ignore hik completely.

"My parents won't be home this weekend, so I'll be throwing a huge party," Lotor said.

"Sounds awesome!" Pidge cheered.

As the group made plans, Lance listened closly for his invite. But it never came.

Are they just gonna not invite me? Lance wondered.

"Hey guys-"

"Lance we're talking, shush!" Alurra scolded.

"Hey Lance!" Lance looked up and saw Keith.

Keith Kogane was the school's assic bad boy. But Lance had recently befriended him, and turns out he was super cool and nice!

"Hey Keith!" Lance smiled.

"What's up?" Keith asked.

"Oh nothing much. Have you heard about Lotor's party yet?"

 "Yeah, dumb right?"

"Maybe, I think it'll be fun!" Lance smiled.

That weekend Lance arrived at Lotor's house. He was sure the others had just forgetten to invite him, and it was an honest mistake!

Lance ear's were filled with blaring music as he walked inside. He walked around looking for his friends.

Eventually he found them, but was stopped in his stracks when he heard what they were saying:

"I'm so glad Lance isnt here," Alurra said.

"Yeah," Pidge nodded. "All he does us talk and talk and talk-"

"-And only about himself!" Hunk finished.

"Now if only he'd stop sitting with us at lunch!" Everyone laughed at Lotor's comment.

Lance bolted outside.

...

Lance was crying on the front steps of Lotor's house.

How could he have been so blind?!

"Lance?"

Lance looked up and saw Keith. He wipped away his tears.

"Oh...hey!" Lance smiled. "Didn't expect to see you here!"

"Yeah my mom brother forced me to come," Keith sat down. "But what's wrong? Are you ok?"

"No, But I'll live."

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

Lance nodded.

"I just overheard all my friends complaining about me," Lance whimpered. "I wasnt even invited here, and now I see why..."

Keith stood up. "C'mon," he helped Lance up. "We're getting outa' here."

"But-"

"No buts!" Keith said, pulling Lance down the street to  his motorcycle.

"Hop on!"

__________

Keith and Lance drove into the busy downtown area. It was still summer, so it  was still light out this late. Keith drove Lance around to see famous monuments, places, and parks. Like a little tour. Lance hadn't been downtown often, it was amazing!

Keith ended the little tour with buying Lance ice cream.

"Thank you," Lance said, looking Keith in the eye. 

"For the ice cream? Please, my treat!" Keith said.

"More than that. Even when all my friends said they hated me, you stayed. And you took me away to help me feel better!"

"Lance, you're my best friend," Keith said blushing. "I might even want to be more..." Keith kissed Lance on the cheek. "Lance I love you. I never want to see you cry."

Lance dropped his ice cream cone and pulled Keith in for a more intense kiss. It was a tearful and blushing mess. 

"After hearing what they all said I didn't think I was worthy of friends, let alone a lover!" Lance said. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" He sobbed.

After that, Lance and Keith started to date. Lance completely avoided all his old friends and sat with Keith and his brother at lunch. He had asked the teacher to move seats away from his old friends.

"What's going on with Lance?" Hunk asked aloud.

"Yeah! He's avoiding and ignoring us!" Pidge said.

"And he's hanging out with that bad boy Keith," Alurra said holding Lotor tighter.

"Well I've had about enough!" Pidge said. She stood up and stomped over to Lance's new table, the others following.

"Lance," Pidge greeted.

"Oh! Um, hey?" Lance tried to greet back. Lance held Keith's hand tighter.

"What's going on with you?" Hunk asked. "You've totally been avoiding us!"

"Explain yourself!" Alurra scolded.

"He doesn't have to explain anything to you!" Keith stood up. "Go away!"

"Whatever bad boy," Lotor said. "Your just hanging out with Lance to sell drugs to him!"

"What- I don't do drugs!" Keith's shouted.

"Keith calm down," Lance stood up. Lance turned to the others. "You have no right to come here and yell at me for avoiding you. I had a perfectly good reason!"

"Oh yeah? Whats that?" Pidge crossed here arms.

"I was at Lotor's party. I heard everything!" Lance said.

The others suddenly felt like a truck rammed into them. He had heard....

"I thought we were friends!" Lance yelled. "But I should've known being ignored and hated wasn't a thing in friendship!"

Keith gave Lance a hug and kissed him on the cheek. "Lets go babe," 

The two walked off in a huddle, while then others were left there to wonder,

What had they done?
