Private School Klance AU

Keith was in a prestigious school only for really smart people. He was also an Orphan who had been adopted by one of the teachers there. He was… different from the other kids to say the least. He was closed off, not social, and only ever talked to him dorm mate. One afternoon, he was walking when a kid who he’d hated from day one of school started mocking him. Specifically about his late parents. He lost it and punched the kid. However, the guy was a year older than him and in Year 12. So annoyingly, he was stronger than Keith. The 18 year old threatened him and told him not to tell. He didn’t care really. But he sat in the alley way at the back of the school where the guy had left him. Scrolling on his phone. It was late in the afternoon so everyone’s classes had finished. And if anyone looked hard enough, they’d see the silhouette of a 17 year old guy sitting in an alleyway. But at this school he was a phantom. Only showing up when he spoke. He only had three friends. Two of which he was only friends with because his rival, and only real friend, were friends with them. Lance McClain, also his dorm mate. He was the youngest of five. He had two older brothers, one older sister and an older twin sister. A niece and a nephew. And was a nice person. Keith had no real reason to hate him other than the fact they were both always competing to be the smartest in their class.

Lance had been waiting in the dorm for Keith to get back for ages now. He grew tired of it and reluctantly began to search for him. He tried to make it unnoticeable that he was searching for something or someone. But he wanted to make sure Keith was okay. As much as they were supposed to hate each other, Lance had grown fond of the older boy a few months ago… which had resulted in them dating… and he didn’t want him to get hurt like the idiot he was. After about thirty minutes he gave up and started to head back to their dorm when he heard a little rustle from an alleyway. He peered his head in, thinking it could be a stray animal, which his family was notorious for aiding. But instead, found a bleeding nonchalant Keith scrolling through his phone like nothing had happened. “gods what have you gotten yourself into this time Kogane?” He said softly, typical guy, and raced over to him, pulling out a cloth and whipping the blood off. “…seriously what did you do this time…?”

Lance was sitting in his bed staring at his phone going through old photos from before they left in the Blue Lion. He had hated that he never got a proper goodbye with his family. Or his siblings. Especially his twin sister Rachel…

Today was the 28th of July. Lances birthday. Which meant Rachel was yet again celebrating the day alone. And he felt like shit for it. Tears were rolling down his face as he came across a photo from their 13th birthday. They looked happy… Rachel was still taller than him, he wondered how tall she was now. He hadn’t gotten any taller since leaving earth… maybe she’d gotten taller…
