Opening Lines

Hella late but I was tagged by @ambitiousskychild

Oh boy this is gonna be a teensy bit difficult since I’m only counting the first lines of projects (So Power Snuggles can only come up once... Stretch/Pull and the still pending part three...nope. Ahhhhh)

Rules: List the first lines of your last ten published stories. Look to see if there are any patterns that you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any! Tag up to ten friends!

10. Power Snuggles

The first time it happens Keith is just fed the fuck up. He’s tired and he’s irritable and the training drone can only take so much and Shiro is off on some diplomatic nonsense with Allura and he knows the object of his frustration won’t train with him because he’s only asked like a hundred times. Stupid boy just can’t catch the damn hint.

9. I Feel Everything

Lance is giddy. It’s the most exciting thing to happen to him since the king spotted him meandering around his court and decided to befriend him. Now, not only did he have favor with his king but he had been given a job. He was being useful. “I can’t breathe Hunk. He thinks I’m useful!” “Or,” Starts his best friend Hunk, stretching a large faded map out before his eyes and squinting at it as if it were written by rats, “And really think about this Lance, Or your king is actually just super lazy and taking advantage of your obvious crush on him to get you to do dubious things without anyone being aware of him.”

8. Privacy Violation

Lance knows that on some level—okay all of them—this is wrong. He knows that the whole idea is bad, and he should have told Pidge No. Someone had to be the girl’s moral compass and with Hunk out of the country visiting Shay in Europe that was supposed to be him. Why was he so bad at this?

He had three younger siblings and a whole gaggle of nieces and nephews who looked up to him and he couldn’t manage to handle a single teenage girl to not do something horrifically illegal?

And to make matters worse, he was helping her?!

7. What We’ve Always Been

He was taller. He was taller and wider, and his jaw was more pronounced and—God he looked good.

God he looked good.

His hair was longer and softly curled around the nape of his neck and it was sinful how much Lance wanted to thread his fingers through it, collect it in his hands and leave his neck bare and—

This just wasn’t fair. Why did Keith get to disappear and then just—change like that. Come back looking like he came straight out of a romance novel.

It was like…like—Lotor was finally out of the picture but oh no here comes Keith with his chiseled face and smoldering looks and the princess was totally going to fall for him now. (Just the princess. Of course.)

6. December

The first red flag of the night should have been Jenny’s pushiness. Keith had only hung out with her one time since they’d “become friends” in middle school and now they were taking two classes a semester at the local Uni (if any) and occasionally waved at each other in the hallways. Hell, Keith hadn’t even done that in months given the shit time he’d had at school and his absolute lack of a desire to pursue any kind of degree. He’d taken the fall semester off and was still mentally wording the letter to Shiro in his head about how he was going to drop out when Jenny had blown up his phone. “You’re just being a hermit aren’t you!? Get dressed! I’m coming over!”

5. Hellooo Cargo Pilot (NSFW)

As the chaos finally subsided, Keith allowed himself to breathe again. Not that flying his speeder over questionable terrain being followed by garrison officials who were trying to take his lifeline back wasn’t the most thrilling thing he’d done in a year, but it was still good to breathe. Besides, he had visitors now. It wasn’t like he’d planned to find Shiro of all people when he let himself in to the lab, nor did he even remotely think he’d end up taking Shiro and three garrison students (ex-garrison students?) back to his little shack in the desert. He had to breathe, he had to try and make sense of this. And most of all?

He had to not stare at Lance.

4. Getting Undressed

You want him to take off that suit. He looks at you, violet eyes quizzical as ever and dares to ask, “Why?” Why? Why. Why…!? Because that suit makes you angry.

3. His Presence

He’s not sure if this is a good thing or not, how everyone suddenly had their attention on him. He realized ages ago that his friends weren’t trying to hurt him these last few stress-filled months but there was still something about all the almost…forced affection that just.

Well.

It made him unbelievably fucking miserable.

2. Not! Dreaming of You

Work had been exhausting. God knows why anyone in their right mind would travel all over the grocery store with raw meat in their basket just to leave it buried behind the cereals—because that’s absolutely where it’s supposed to go right?

Keith had been the unfortunate one to find the mess and the blood and the boxes and boxes of completed ruined cereal. That was just the cherry on top of his grueling day at the express lane feigning cheer and putting up with stupid customers.

One of these days he was going to quit. Just. Just take his little name tag and stab Iverson in the eye with it. …That could end in incarceration rather than just a very clear “I Quit” though so…maybe not.

1. Stretch (NSFW)

After some particularly stressful nights Keith would wake up in the mornings and be heavily uninclined to leave his bed.

But that didn’t change the fact Keith knew he couldn’t just laze around in bed all day. So, he had to at least try. However, trying mostly consisted of stretching and groaning and flopping right back into his bed.

Which explained why he was in such an interesting position when Lance charged into the room screaming about Hunk’s newest breakfast concoctions.

Tagging… @meli-reads-all, @crumbcakeworld, @keith-in-shibari....and yeh anyone else who feels inclined Idk there’s like no one left to tag x.x
