Voltron -- Klance -- Fake BF

All I Want for Christmas is a (Fake) Boyfriend

Summary: A while ago, in a fit of anger, Keith told his mom he had a boyfriend. Did he actually have a boyfriend? No. Did he care? Also no. At least, not until his mom, months later, tells him to bring his supposed boyfriend over for the holidays. Not wanting to admit he didn’t have one, Keith asks around for someone to play the role and who agrees to play the part? The annoying guy from his Lit class.

(ao3)

---

Big, fluffy snowflakes started to land and melt on Keith's windshield around the time when they still had about a half hour left to get home. The plastic bags in the back seat rustled with the movement of the car and the heat gently blowing from the front. His mom had been adamant on them both taking leftovers -- there was no way she, alone, could possibly eat that much food before it went bad. He never protested, he always appreciated free food, especially food made by his mom, but she always explained it anyways.

              As the sky grew darker, everything seemed so much less vibrant. Like those moments in movies where something dramatic was going to happen, it just had to get very still and very dark first. But the only dramatic thing to happen was that the other cars slowed down. It was only a little snow, people. It wasn't even enough for ice to form!

              "Do we have to go this fast?" Lance asked.

              "Not you too," Keith said, teeth clenched in a way he hadn't realized before.

              "I'd like to live to see next Christmas," Lance said. "Or tomorrow. I'll settle for tomorrow."

              Keith threw him a dirty look. "I told you on the way up here, my driving is fine," he said.

              "Yeah, I don't think the bugs on your windshield would agree to that statement," Lance said. "Plus, I think the snow is coming down a little heavier."

              He was right. Why did he have to be right? Heavy snow meant slower driving which meant it would be a while before they got back to school. He just wanted to drop Lance off and then go home and dwell in his weird thoughts for a long time, figure out what they meant and what he wanted. What he wanted to happen.

              He didn't want to have those thoughts while stuck in traffic, sitting next to the person who was making him have them in the first place. His fingers drummed against the steering wheel.

              "So there's going to be a party at Hunk's for New Year's," Lance said. "Are you going?"

              Keith had gotten the invitation even before he'd made plans to go to his mom's for Christmas. Hunk was one of the best in the culinary department -- there was no way he was going to miss something like that. He'd also heard Pidge and her brother talking about setting up the music and decorations, which meant it was going to be something nobody would expect.

              "Yeah," Keith replied. "And you?"

              "Of course!"

              There was a lull in their conversation. Keith could feel it like how he imagined actors could feel the eyes of the audience during a live show. Maybe Lance felt it, too, because he turned up the volume on the radio. A couple songs later and it was interrupted by a weather report.

             "You have to be kidding me," Keith muttered, pressing his forehead against the steering wheel. It wasn't dangerous to do -- traffic had pretty much stopped. But the man on the radio warned them about blizzard conditions and what to do if their car got stuck. How was Keith supposed to drop Lance off and then go back to his own apartment?

              It was possible, he just didn't wanna do it.

              "Okay, new plans," Keith practically growled. "My apartment is closer. We go there, you stay the night, and in the morning I drop you off at the dorms. Sound good?"

              It took a moment for Lance to reply, but maybe Keith was just over-thinking things. "Yeah, if you don't mind," he said.

              If Keith minded, he wouldn't have offered. He managed to not say anything, but he couldn't help an eye roll he directed out his window.

              Their half an hour drive turned into a full hour, the silence mostly filled with music and idle conversation. Keith learned that Lance liked upbeat songs and he would move his right leg when it was especially catchy. The snow whirled around them like god or whoever was up there decided to upend down stuffed pillows on the world. Except those pillows were also god-sized.

              When they arrived at Keith's apartment, he was glad it had assigned parking, even if it cost him an extra twenty dollars a month. It meant, after a super fast unloading time, they only had to run a few feet to his door before they were enveloped in the warmth of his hallway.

              "Oh thank god I remembered to turn on the heat," he said between breaths. Had he forgotten, the pipes would have frozen over and burst. A blizzard and a flood? The end of the world would have better been underway.

              After kicking off their shoes, Keith brought Lance over to the living room. He sent a silent thank you to his past self, who remembered to clean before leaving for his mom's. The sofa was a squishy gray thing his dad gave him, so it had worn out patches around the edges, but it was still pretty comfortable.

              "I'll get you some blankets and a pillow," Keith said. "If you're hungry, you can warm up some of the stuff my mom gave us. Anything in the fridge. I've got chips and stuff somewhere."

              Lance made a face, pretending to be offended. "The couch?" he said, though a grin started to peek through his pretending ."I thought we were at that level already. You know? Sharing beds?"

              Keith rolled his eyes as obviously as he could, but couldn't ignore the way his stomach twisted at those words. "Over here's the bathroom, but let me get ready first," he said, gesturing to a door in the hallway.

              "You learn fast."

              Keith didn't say anything, just gave a sort of distracted nod, before bringing his bags to his room. He wasn't going to sleep very well, but he'd sleep better knowing Lance wasn't curled up right next to him.

              Everything hadn't gone exactly as he thought it would, mostly because his mom was only mildly uncomfortable. If it had been more than mild, she hadn't shown it, even so Lance had been an excellent actor. A little too good, in fact. It was because of his incredibly convincing performance that certain thoughts and feelings were swimming around in Keith's head, like dirty fish tank water.

              Had Lance not been camping out on his couch, Keith would have gone through the motions of brushing teeth while his mind was traveling at a snail's pace, elsewhere. But since he was, Keith did everything at hyper-speed and as soon as he was in his room again, buried himself under all the layers he always piled on his bed.

              He tried turning his brain off, even wished for it, but it kept whizzing away with all the things Keith would never say to anyone ever. He didn't even want to address them himself. In fact, he just wanted to sleep and forget, but only he achieved only one of those things.

 ~*~

                Keith opened his eyes to the light struggling to get in around the blinds on his window. He squinted at it, knowing subconsciously that if he were to stride on over and yank the cord, light would sear into his eyeballs. Then his brain caught up and he remembered the snow. And Lance.

              He'd been in the process of sitting up when he stopped and listened. The only thing he could hear was the hum of the heater, so he got up and opened the door as quietly as he could. Still, there was nothing. Nothing to hear and nothing to see.

              His relief was short-lived as, when he darted over to the bathroom, the door opened up and out walked Lance, directly into him.

              He smelled good.

              "Oh, sorry," Lance said and reached out an arm that never made it to Keith's shoulder, because the guy in question backed up. "You okay?"

             "Yeah," Keith said. It was very warm. It wasn't the heater. Lance smelled really good. "Are you, uh, done there?"

              Lance took a dramatically large sidestep away from the bathroom door, gesturing to it like a magician. "After you."

              As soon as the door was closed behind him, Keith took a deep breath and focused on doing things, performing little tasks. Brush his teeth, wash his face, stare at his reflection in the mirror -- no, not that, not the thinking. (Why did everything have to smell like Lance?) But the thoughts came back in a swirling mess while he was in the shower, with hot water trying to relax his tensed up shoulders. They crept up on him while he was rubbing shampoo into his scalp, but when he tried pinpointing the exact moment, he couldn't do it.

              He liked Lance, that much was obvious. That had been obvious in the car and probably before that. What he didn't know was what to do. Lance was basically a hired boyfriend -- was that called an escort? Or did that imply something else?

              Keith scrubbed a little harder at his head.

              A more mature person would probably just tell Lance, explain their feelings and get it over with. Face rejection or feel relief. Like tearing off a bandaid. But Keith was not a mature person -- or at least, not that mature. He would rather let the bandaid stay until it came off with a bath or shower, easy and without the sting, the pain.

              He had agreed to payment in Taco Bell lunches for a semester. If he told Lance and was shot down, that would mean an entire semester of awkward meals, sitting on hard, plastic seats surrounded by the smell of fake Mexican food cooking in the back. Or maybe they heated up premade things. Who knew. It wasn't important.

              What was important was the potentially heavy atmosphere they would have to endure. The air around Lance was always light, happy, fun. Keith wanted to enjoy it for at least another semester. And maybe by the end of it, Keith would either confess his feelings or discover those feelings weren't so deep after all. Maybe Lance would get himself involved in a real relationship and Keith would be forced to move on, to get over it. To let the bandaid slide off.

              He didn't know how long he'd been rubbing the shampoo out of his hair, but his head kind of ached and the water wasn't soapy in the least.

              Lance was sitting on his couch like he'd always sat on Keith's couch, texting or scrolling through something on his phone. The striped blue and white shirt he was wearing suited him, Keith thought.

              "You ready to go?" Keith asked.

              Lance lifted his head, but it took a moment for his eyes to follow. "Yeah," he replied. "Just let me get my shoes on."

              The Shower Decision, as he was calling it, had helped him so much more than he thought it would. The messy emotions and feelings were all still there, but it was more like they'd been put in a glass jar.

              "What have I told you about going out with wet hair?" Lance asked, getting closer than Keith wanted.

              "I'll wear a hat," Keith said, brushing past him towards the front door.

              The snow was piled up a good foot or two in most places, with larger snowdrifts in others. Sweeping it all off and around his car was a joint effort and getting out of his apartment complex was a thrilling game of "is this still road?" The main roads were better, thankfully, but it still meant driving in the careful, slow way Keith was never overly fond of. Nor was he actually good at it.

              "Dude, if I die, I'm coming back to haunt you," Lance said. He'd been holding onto the handle above the door for the last fifteen minutes. Overdramatic, really.

              "You're not going to die," Keith said, resisting the urge to roll his eyes but succumbing to the need to make a face. He made it at his window.

              "I saw that and yes, I will die if we keep going this fast, hit a patch of ice, and go smashing into any one of these other cars. Or poles. Or buildings. Look at all the things we could hit. There are so many. So many, Keith."

              "You're not going to die!" Keith snapped. "You're not going to die because I won't crash!"

              Lance groaned with his head thrown back. "You don't say that! Now we really will crash! You've jinxed it!"

              Keith took a deep breath in. It went out a little too fast. "No, you're right. We will crash because then maybe you'll shut up." It was just like the trip to his mom's all over again.

              There was a small silence, long enough for Keith to think it had ended, that Lance had taken the hint and finally shut his trap. But that was too much to hope for, apparently.

              "Not if I come haunt you," Lance muttered. "I'll talk all the time."

              Images of Keith's car speeding down the road came to mind just then, where the passenger side door opens and Lance flails a bit as he's pushed out of the vehicle. He lands in a comically large snowdrift before sitting up, sputtering and swearing. And Keith's car just keeps on driving.

              It was incredibly satisfying.

              Instead, he did his job and brought Lance to the school dorms in one piece. And alive. He may or may not have made sure Lance made it in okay, ignoring the giant wave sent his way. He could have offered to help Lance bring up his several bags, but that would have meant more awkwardness drifting between the two of them like mosquitoes during summer evenings.

              Keith just needed to go home, breathe a little, and focus on something else.

 ~*~

                The party began at nine, but, Keith being Keith, he arrived about a half an hour later. He had to park a couple houses down, but Hunk's parties were always pretty big. Hunk was the only one in their little group of friends who had actually grown up in that town -- he and his family took part in all sorts of events and volunteering. His parents were out of town, gone to another city for business, so Hunk had the house all to himself for a couple days.

              The house itself was small with yellow siding and white trim. The yard, as far as Keith knew, had been done by Hunk's dad, though Hunk often spent time outside gardening alongside him. He even worked in Home Depot, though that might have been in order to get an employee discount on all their gardening gear. Needless to say, the house and yard looked amazing.

              Keith rang the doorbell because he couldn't remember if he did it last year or not. Did he just go in? Would they hear the doorbell? How long was he supposed to wait until he tried opening it himself?

              He didn't worry long, however. The door swung open and there stood Shay, Hunk's girlfriend. She was taller than Keith, which always made him a little more nervous than he wanted to be, with a smile that put most at ease.

              "Keith!" she said -- or at least he assumed that's what she said because she spoke softly and the music coming from somewhere smothered most of everything. She beckoned him in, using the hand that wasn't holding onto a yellow plastic cup.

              Hunk wasn't far behind. "There you are!" he said. "Been wondering if you'd show up!"

              "Sorry," Keith said, unsure if he'd been heard or not. There were a lot of people. A little too many. But he'd promised.

              "Just happy you made it," Hunk replied, clapping him on the shoulder. "There's food in the kitchen! Go help yourself!"

              "Will do," Keith said.

              Hunk's attention was snagged by someone Keith didn't recognize. In fact, there were a lot of unfamiliar faces, but that much was normal. Hunk was a popular guy. Much like Shay, there was a feeling of ease that surrounded Hunk -- a comfortable, cozy feeling, like any hug received from him would make you feel like the world was okay and safe.

              Keith stuck to the wall as much as he could, slipping through any opening he could find. Eventually he made his way to the kitchen, where the table had been packed full of various snacks and drinks. Even so there were so many different things, they all kind of went well together anyways. It was something Hunk was always good at.

              The plate he loaded up didn't last long, but the Pepsi he poured into a cup did. He brought it out to the living room, where the music wasn't so intense. Shiro and Allura were sitting on one of the couches, so he wove his way around people to get to them; in a sea of unfamiliar faces, the sight of them sent a wave of relief flowing through him.

              "When did you get here?" Allura asked. They were wearing matching sweaters. Of course they were.

              "Recently," Keith replied.

              "How was Christmas?" Shiro asked.

              It was an innocent enough question and Shiro most definitely meant it that way, but it still filled Keith with a sort of embarrassment and shame. Did he know what he'd done over the holidays? Probably not, unless Allura clued him in. Keith still wasn't very comfortable with him knowing he was gay, especially since Keith had had a crush on him for a long time. Well, it wasn't quite so dead and buried, that crush. He liked thinking those feelings had disappeared entirely, but there were a few stubborn ones, the ones that made certain things awkward.

              "It was good," Keith said, nodding a bit. "Yours?"

              "He went with me to meet my family," Allura said with a devious sort of smile.

              "I did," Shiro admitted, a bit of color tingeing his cheeks. "It happened."

              "Anything exciting happen?" Keith asked. "Or did you just meet them?" He knew there was more to the story and he didn't really want to hear it, but it was better than being asked questions about his own holiday adventures.

              They were getting into their explanations about how Allura's dad pretended to be the tough dad type, to scare him a little, before it crumbled away and everything became much less nerve-wracking, when Pidge spotted Keith from across the room. The moment their eyes locked, a smirk grew on her face. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like where the conversation was about to head.

              She strode over, confident and not so tall, but standing as tall as she could, and Keith had his back to the wall. He checked to see if he could escape somehow, without it being weird, but unless he could make leaping over a coffee table seem normal, he was stuck.

              "So Keith," she started. "Good of you to show up. I've been wanting to talk to you."

              "Really now."

              She hummed a little as a yes. "How were your holidays?" she asked.

              "Good," he replied.

              "Just good?"

              "Yup."

              "Anything out of the ordinary happen?"

              "Not particularly."

              Keith could see the curiosity bloom across both Shiro and Allura's faces. Something was up, but Keith wasn't saying. And he sure as heck wasn't going to.

              "Is there something we're missing?" Allura asked.

              There was mischief in Pidge's eyes and Keith was silently trying to put it out by staring back at her.

              Unfortunately, Lance appeared like a well-timed character appearance in a sitcom, followed by Hunk and Shay. Perfect. Everyone together. At least he wouldn't have to explain things a gazillion times.

              "Lance!" Pidge said. "I was just asking Keith! How were your holidays?"

              Lance immediately looked to Keith. It wasn't something the others missed.

              "Okay, something happened here," Hunk said. "I smell a story."

              "He visited me for Christmas, okay?" Keith snapped. There was too much aggression in his voice, he knew. A tad bit too defensive.

              "I didn't know you two even knew each other," Hunk said.

              Pidge was impatient. "How was it?"

              "It was good!" Lance replied. "Very good food. We played games, watched movies. Very cozy."

              "I bet," Pidge replied, a little waggle of her eyebrows aimed at Keith.

              "There is definitely something you guys aren't telling us," Allura said.

              "Yeah, fill us in," Shiro said.

              "Well," Lance said, looking at Keith like he wasn't sure how much he should be saying. "Keith needed someone to come with him, so I went! We used to share an English class." It was actually Literature. "And Pidge hooked us up. I mean, not hooked up like, like that. I mean, she just helped us meet is all."

              Nobody looked convinced.

              Keith let out all the air he'd been holding in. "I needed someone to play the part of a boyfriend and he played it," he said. The aggression hadn't left his voice, but he'd had enough of all the tiptoeing around the subject, all the prodding and questioning looks. "My mom is kind of homophobic so I felt I had something to prove. That's it."

              The reaction was more or less as expected. Allura and Shiro had similar expressions, with their eyebrows way, way up. Allura had known Keith had been asking around, though, but maybe she'd never thought he'd actually go through with it. Pidge looked smug and full of an evil kind of glee; she was not going to be letting it go. Hunk looked bemused and Shay looked like she was still processing it.

              "Did she, uh, buy it?" Shiro asked.

              Keith really wished Shiro wasn't there.

              "I guess, I don't know," Keith replied and focused on looking at the far corner of the room rather than anyone's face.

              "Did you guys kiss?" Pidge asked eagerly. She pounced on the subject so fast, it made him wonder how long she'd been holding back.

              "Not answering."

              "That's a yes!" she said, jumping in the air a bit. "Refusing to answer is definitely a yes!"

              Keith could feel Lance looking at him, but he was very much not looking back. Instead, the corner was receiving his intense stares. It was a good thing nobody was standing near it. It was as if Lance wanted to see if he had permission to tell, but Keith was not going down that road.

"We had to be convincing," Lance eventually replied. He flashed one of his easy smiles. "It didn't take much."

"And your dad was okay?" Hunk asked.

Keith shrugged, but then felt bad because his dad was actually really great. "Yeah."

"So how was it?" Pidge asked. Had it been a costume party, being the devil's mom would have totally suited her. "Being Keith's pretend boyfriend. How did it make you feel." Satan's mother who freelanced as a terrible, terrible psychiatrist.

"Like a stud," Lance shot back. "But no, seriously, it went by so fast and the food was amazing. So really, not bad."

Allura began to grin and Keith never wanted to see that face ever again, as long as he lived. If he had to, he really hoped it would never again be directed at him. "A convincing performance," she said. "I would have loved to see that."

Lance immediately perked up. "I could show you some of my sweet, fake boyfriend skills," he said with a voice so full of sap, it was a wonder he didn't choke on it.

"I meant on him," Allura deadpanned.

"Oh, right," Lance said and winked at Keith. What for, he had no idea. "I could do that. This relationship doesn't have to come to an end."

"It already did," Keith said. "The moment we got in my car."

"I'm hurt!" Lance said, putting the back of his hand against his forehead with an expression so dramatic, Keith wasn't entirely convinced Lance wasn't a part of the theater program in school. "Not even a kiss goodbye!"

"There are no kisses for when people break up!" Keith snapped back. He was starting to feel like he was in danger, somehow. Not from anything life-threatening, just humiliating.

Lance pulled another overly dramatic face. "You never even told me we were breaking up!" he wailed. A little too loudly, in fact. A couple strange faces glanced their way.

Allura and Pidge were enjoying his theatrics, but Shiro just looked like he didn't quite understand, but was going along with it anyway.

"Console your fake boyfriend, Keith!" Pidge demanded. She wasn't as good as Lance with the drama, so her goofy smile wobbled through the pretend-angry expression.

"No!" Why couldn't they just leave it alone? He didn't want to talk about it.

"He doesn't love me anymore," Lance said with a heavy sigh.

Keith opened his mouth to say he'd never loved him, but his own stupid thoughts made him stop. It wasn't love, it wasn't. But it was definitely in that area. "Just shut up, please," Keith mumbled.

Lance gave him a look like he didn't quite understand. It's not a big deal, he was probably thinking. And maybe it wasn't, to him, and maybe it wouldn't be looking back on it, but Keith just wanted to talk about something else. Anything else.

"Hey guys, how are you liking the food?" Hunk sort of blurted out. He'd always been good at picking up on feelings, even if Keith was pretty sure he'd been radiating do not want since the beginning. "Personally, I like it. Lots of tasty things. Would I change any of it? Also yes! Everything can always be improved."

"I like the hummus," Shiro said. Keith was less sure about him; maybe Shiro wanted to talk about something else for other reasons.

"Family recipe," Hunk said. "Can't give it to you."

"I didn't even ask!"

"I saw it in your eyes."

Pidge's expression fell a little, though it wasn't something that would eat at Keith's conscious.

Conversation wandered around like they did throughout the house. Hunk would disappear at times to make more food or put some more soda in the fridge and eventually he started asking if anyone would like to watch something, maybe a movie or a TV show off Netflix. Not everyone joined them, but it didn't matter -- to Keith, it was best kept small and cozy. He wasn't thrilled about the seating arrangement, though, and he had a feeling Allura had had a conversation with Pidge through eye language alone, because he was sandwiched between Hunk and Lance on a couch, with Shiro sitting on the floor right in front of him.

It could have been because Keith was naturally paranoid, but he had a difficult time focusing on the show they'd picked out together. At some point, Lance stretched an arm out over the back of the couch and it wasn't touching Keith at all, but he couldn't help but glance over at Lance. Lance winked back at him and, like before, Keith had no idea why.

The TV was turned to the ball dropping in New York. They counted down together, someone snuck a sparkly headband with the new year on him, and the house shook with the voices crying out in unison, "Happy New Year!"

[megbox]

On a scale from 1 to kindergartner, how much of an imagination do you have? I listened to a somewhat scary podcast a lot during the school year last year and began to think paranormal things were happening to me. LAST YEAR. Your girl has a wild imagination.  Do you have a camera that takes film? Do you use it? I used to but I don’t really use them anymore. Film is expensive and difficult to get processed and I also suck at manually operating a camera.  How many places did you apply to, before someone ever called you back for a job? I have been employed at the same place for so long, I kind of forget what it is like to search for a job. I suppose when doing practicum/internship interviews over the past few years I have been offered a job after one interview both times. Lucky me. 

What is something you’ve always wanted to learn how to do? What’s stopping you? Speak another language! What is stopping me is that it is very difficult to learn and I picked a language that I have nearly zero exposure to here in Canada. But I am trying.  

Out of all of the shows, movies, and books you love, who is your OTP (one true pairing)? Hmmm Ron and Hermione.  Is there a show that every time you watch it, it always seems like the SAME rerun is on? Which show and which episode is it that haunts you? No but my Mom and I have a joke that whenever I am at her place, the Joe Kenda Homicide Hunter show comes on. I swear to god, it’s on 24/7 repeat sessions.  What are some modern (past 5 years) bands that you think will be in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame in the next 25 years? Oh god... lmao. I am so not good at rock music.  Do those jokes about women belonging in the kitchen offend you? I think at this point it’s so... tired and sad that it honestly reflects more poorly n the person making the joke.  Which one of your bf/crush/etc’s exes do you hate the most? Why? This is a hilarious question and I am almost sad I don’t have an answer for it.  Have you ever written a FanFiction? Did people actually like it? I am fucking loling I could easily delete this question but I wonder if anyone ACTUALLY reads these so I’m going to admit that sometime in the last 7 years, I wrote a very popular piece of fan fiction and had like multiple chapter releases and everything. I won’t say what for.  Would you rather watch a movie about a dorky michael cera type, a prettyboy zac efron type, or the rough around the edges channing tatum type? Michael Cera is my number one celebrity crush.  Do you like slow, sleepy, acoustic indie music or does it bore you? That’s my fucking favourite.  Do you have your future career all planned out or are you a bit confused about what you want to do with your life? I am getting closer and closer.     Do you seem to attract a certain demographic of the opposite sex? What are they? Actually, no. But one thing in common is that people fall quickly and I don’t always return the feeling and it has led to many an awkward and sad conversation.  When you were in high school did you find the band and drama kids to be incredibly annoying?   Drama kids yes, holy shit. I honestly barely interacted with anyone in the band.  What is something superficial or nitpicky that a guy could do that would make him “undateable” to you? Smoke cigarettes.  Have you ever liked playing dollmakers or online dress-up games? Nah, I was more about Habbo Hotel.  What is the biggest difference in age you’ve ever had while dating someone? Errr it depends on what you consider dating but six years older.  At your school, did all the band kids join track? No lmfao I wish then we maybe would have actually had a coach and been able to train at Centennial.  Do you save the confetti you get from concerts? No! That’s such a cute idea! 

Would you tolerate hanging around with someone you didn’t like, if your friends liked them? Uhhhhhhhhh I guess so but I am really bad at pretending to like somebody if I don’t. 

Where’s your favourite place to hang out with friends? Someone’s place. Fuck the bar, it’s too expensive. 

Do you remember the first conversation you had with the person you like? Yessssish. I remember the night but I don’t remember the specific conversation. 

Do you make an effort to talk to all of your Facebook friends, or are there certain people that you talk to the most? Are you serious lmfao... all my Facebook friends... that is laughable 

When was the last time you had butterflies in your stomach? This morning. 

How is the last person that texted you? Getting drunk in Banff right now so I assume she’s doing fairly well. 

How many of your friends are in relationships? GOD it seems like EVERYONE. 

Who was the last person you talked to whose name started with the letter L? Uhh Lejaimen at work, 

Have you ever liked someone younger than you? Yes. 

Are you a secretive person? I want to say yes and I know anyone that reads this tumblr will be like, “lmao yeah right I know more about your life from this very public social media outlet than I know about most people I actually care about” but there is so much I leave out lmao CONSIDER THAT, PEOPLE. 

How many friends do you have on Facebook? I have no idea 

How many people follow you on Twitter? 300-some. Likely largely comprised of robots. 

What does the last email you received concern? Event confirmation for the training I attended today. 

How many people have you kissed in the last twelve months? Literally probably like 50....... sorry. 

Do you think it’s okay to like someone else if you’re in a relationship? It’s so difficult because I know myself and I am exceedingly jealous and I really feel like it’s not okay even though it happened to me in a very real way many years ago. It’s like a weird double standard. I think there are definitely mature ways to handle being attracted to other people while in a relationship and it takes a little bit of growing up / life experience to get there. 

How long have you liked the person you currently like? On and off since the fall of last year. 

Has a close friend ever hurt you? Yep. 

What’s the biggest age difference between you and someone you’ve liked or have dated? Six years. 

Have you ever developed feelings for someone you were friends with? Yes! Duh! 

What is it about yourself that you dislike the most? Probably the crippling anxiety that will literally just randomly rear it’s head and always manifests in a new way lmao I can never get on top of it. 

How would your friends describe you? They would probably say I am suuuuper weird. Impatient as fuck. Messy. Likes to party and that I work too much. 

How long are you prepared to wait to be with someone you want before you give up on them? You can’t really put an exact time on that. It all depends on the situation. If I really loved somebody I would wait but I wouldn’t hold back on new opportunities.  

Describe, in no less than three sentences, your current relationship status or situation. I have no idea if I am falling ridiculously hard for this person or if I am just lonely. I have been extremely confused and been sending the most mixed of signals out into the world. At the end of the day though I am very happy. 

What would you say is the stupidest thing you’ve EVER done? Get chlamydia from my ex-boyfriend lmfao 

What does your family think of the person you like? They don’t know about any of that. 

What are your plans for tomorrow evening? IT’S MY FIRST NIGHT CLOSING AS A MANAGER

[higherandhiiigherr]

I’m having a couple of troubling moments, but none lasting long enough to deplete all my sanity. As of now I’m feeling jealous and unmotivated, sad and lazy, happy and comfortable, maybe a little thirsty and mostly under stimulated by my environment. In less than a week I am packing up all my belongings in Orlando and moving back to where I grew up... good is that I'll finally be living with my boyfriend/companion and that's a significant step in our relationship and my maturing life. It's close to my job and we will be in a house where I'm sure a lot of activities can take part and we can start creating some of our own happiness, like collections of furniture and cooking for each other. I am also completely DREADING it. We have to have a roommate to afford the house that my bf really wanted just so that he could have a garage... I don't want to rely on other people, they have proven to me to be flaky, annoying, messy and sometimes they don't become your friends like i have hoped in the past.... it is going to cost a lot of money even with a roommate, not leaving me with a lot for leisure or for the things that I truly need to do to be happy which is traveling... because also being back in my hometown is incredibly boring and I distaste every moment I have to drive around on these streets or run into an old teacher or do the same boring activities going to the same cafes and walking the same flat boring nature trails that I have already done dozens of times with no incredible destination point like there would be in the mountains... but I move in a week and the place will be mine and in my time living there I can do things like build credit and some savings so I can actually say fuck you guys bye bye for goooood. And I think that's my goal. In the meantime though I have to do things like get my attitude and emotions in check. Like this jealousy I feel. I feel like people get a lot of help from their parents so that they can do fun activities and travel to places and I don't feel like I get that same opportunity. I see it on instagram and twitter and Snapchat and I'm still here in the same places doing the same things and unable to afford a real fun mini vacay or camping trip like I use to be able to do and I'm pretty sure this is all just part of becoming an adult, I just don't get why everyone else seems to get to enjoy growing up and vacationing at the same time and I'm unable to. I'm mad at myself for this for not making enough money, I'm mad at my mom and dad because they don't seem to treat me the same way that my peers' parents treat them (taking them along on their trips or helping them out to go on them) and I'm mad at my boyfriend for wanting this stupid 3 bed 2 bath house with a garage when I would've been much happier in a small studio apartment and actually planning on moving out of Florida or something and I'm mad at him for wanting a roommate and not being more motivated to just live with me... he really wanted to experience having a roommate but I've already dealt with it before and I know it sucks... so now I just have to go through with it again with him. Which sucks. This past year was suppose to be my first year with good roommates but I never was able to befriend them and now I haven't even been in my apartment for a month because of how awkward it feels. The other girl I live with got her best friend to take the other room... now their just waiting for me to move out so their other friend can have my room and the unwelcomed vibe is in the air. They've already redecorated the main room and stuff, which is absolutely fine, I was just hoping that I could've became these people's friends and they just don't have that same ambition for me. For me that makes me feel like an outcast and not friendly, or that I'm undeserving of friends since I don't really have many or any good ones. (For the record, I have some "friends" that I can hit up and hang out with in occasion, but no one id plan on living with or no one that I'm hanging out with all the time. I wouldn't make anybody's list of good friends and the only person on mine is my boyfriend, lame, I know :/ ) As of right now, I have the day off of work, my boyfriend is at work all day, I've done nothing but lay in bed all day and I feel like a loser. I went downstairs to make food and my mom was down there and I get into this mood where I don't feel like I have any space of my own and now I'm locked back in my room being depressed and shit again :) but what's funny is that I'm frustrated and crying every so often and definitely sad that I literally have no friends and nothing better to do today. But that I'm actually kinda happy and not that depressed and I'm not sure why I'm not in complete disparity considering how frustrated I am right now Like my mom was frustrating me too so I'm feeling STUCK in my room and I'm pissed about it because the whole fucking day is going to go by and all I'm looking at are these fucking four white walls. But I'm still not as mad as I'd expect like maybe I can just sleep the whole fucking day away and not give a fuck about it but I'll probably be pissed tonight once the day is over and I've realized I've wasted it.. Idk This literally won't be a problem in a week... the four walls I'll be looking at will be my four walls that I can do whatever the fuck I want to do in, and I won't have two blonde girls from my high school making me feel unfriendly and unwelcome or any of that shit and I won't have my mom making me feel like a loser (I'm not sure why she makes me feel like a loser but she does and I can't wait to get away from her because of it even though I do love her a lot) And if my boyfriend ends up making me feel bad in that new space well then fuck him too but we'll get there if we need to get there .. So I am looking forward to it. I just have this whole collection of other emotions that I just tried to explain to the best of my ability and I don't feel any better particularly but maybe I'll actually get myself to do something nice later, we will see :) Until then ✌🏽 Gabriella

Voltron - Klance - Fake BF

All I Want for Christmas is a (Fake) Boyfriend

Summary: A while ago, in a fit of anger, Keith told his mom he had a boyfriend. Did he actually have a boyfriend? No. Did he care? Also no. At least, not until his mom, months later, tells him to bring his supposed boyfriend over for the holidays. Not wanting to admit he didn’t have one, Keith asks around for someone to play the role and who agrees to play the part? The annoying guy from his Lit class.

Chapter Two

Like most driveways in the mountains, the one to his mom's house was long and difficult to see from the road. The road was only marked by the mailbox, where snow had piled up in the shadows of the pine and aspen trees. The wheels of the car crunched against the gritty terrain as they rolled up to the house, where more patches of snow were sprinkled. In the summer, it wasn't too different. More green, maybe, and certainly less snow. But there wasn't a huge plant variety and the pines stayed the same color year round.

             The house itself wasn't too impressive to look at -- it was made primarily out of stone because, as his mom had said, "it'll be a heck of a lot harder to burn through in case of fire." And there were fires. Wildfires, though not usually in that area. They were getting worse with every passing year because of the way beetles were sucking the trees dry. He often wondered how long it would be until everything burned down.

              When they pulled up to the garage, a wreath hung out on the door with pinecones and fake red berries. Or maybe they were real and Keith always just thought they were fake. The truck he parked next to was familiar.

              "Huh," he said. It felt too quiet, with the car off. "I wasn't expecting my dad to be here."

              "Why wouldn't he be?" Lance asked.

              Keith opened his door. "Because they're divorced."

              Their walk to the door was a quiet one, where the only sound made was the crunch of their shoes on the reddish-brown soil. He rang a couple times, to let her know it was him even so she was already expecting him and nobody in their right mind would trek all the way up that driveway for a little ding-dong-ditch. He glanced over at Lance, who gave him a little smile back; he found comfort in knowing he wasn't the only one nervous.

              The door swung open and there stood his mother, tiny and slow to wrinkle as always; the silver in her hair was the only real indication of her real age. "There he is! C'mon in!"

              Stepping in, they were hit with a wave of warmth. The entry opened up to a small living area packed with well-stuffed couches and a fireplace already crackling with use. A quilt was thrown over the back of one of the sofas, not quite so evenly folded.

              "Was it a long drive?" she asked. He knew she meant the traffic, but he didn't want to talk about that.

              "Mom, this is Lance," he said.

              The man in question stepped forward and held out a hand, smiling. Keith sure hoped that smile would dazzle his mom as much as it dazzled him. "Nice to meet you, ma'am."

              Her return smile was a little awkward, a little pinched, but she took his hand in both of hers anyways. "A pleasure to meet you," she said. "You guys can just dump your things here for now." She smiled again before moving back to what Keith guessed was the kitchen; the smells of something delicious was wafting through the air. He was guessing chicken.

              "I saw dad's truck outside," he called out as he set his bags down.

              "He's outside," his mom called back.

              "You know," Lance said, looking around, "I'm kind of disappointed there's not a big, stuffed bear anywhere. This place could totally pull it off."

              Keith rolled his eyes and walked after his mom. It was kind of true -- her house felt much more like a cabin than a regular house, with all the wood paneling and beams along the ceiling. She'd gotten it after the divorce, as she'd always wanted to live as far away from people as possible. Keith could relate; having to interact with or be surrounded by so many in a city sounded suffocating. The town he went to college in was big enough already.

              The kitchen opened out to the family room, which was much more used than the living room. The cabinets were all dark wood types, but Keith wouldn't be able to name just what kind of wood they were. They were dark brown and looked good. What else was there to say?

              His mom was stirring something on the stove, where three other pots were sitting with glass lids on, condensation building up inside.

              "What's for dinner?" he asked.

              "What do you think it is?" she replied, a little half smile appearing.

              "If it is what I think it is, then we're eating really good tonight."

              She gave him a mock-scandalized look. "And we don't eat good the other times I cook?" she asked.

              "Mom," he replied, grinning. "You know what I mean."

              With her head tilted up, as if offended, she said, "Yeah, yeah. Go set the table with your friend."

              "Boyfriend," he corrected.

              She nodded. "Get going."

              Setting the table mostly involved handing things to Lance, who didn't know where anything was in the kitchen, and he'd put them on the table. When finished, they headed out to the backyard, where his dad was standing under the trees near the shed, having a smoke.

              "Finally made it up here, huh?" his dad said, grinning. He had a deep, Texan accent and a scar across one of his eyebrows. As a kid, Keith had always asked about it. It happened when his dad was young, but the story kept changing, so he suspected the real one was a lot less glamorous.

              "Took a little longer this time," Keith replied.

              "Longer?" Lance asked. "He was driving like we had to outrun a natural disaster!"

              His dad chuckled and ground his cigarette butt into the dirt with his boot. Then he extended a hand. "I don't think we've met," he said.

              "I'm Lance."

              "My boyfriend," Keith said.

              "Mm, your mom said something about that," he said. The way he smiled, Keith knew exactly what kind of conversation they'd had before their arrival. "Nice to finally meet you."

              "The feeling's mutual, sir," Lance said.

              His dad chuckled again. "No need to call me sir," he said. "You go to the same school?"

              Lance nodded. "Studying to be a marine biologist," he replied, standing a little straighter.

              Huh. Keith hadn't known that. He felt a little guilty for not asking earlier -- it felt like one of those questions one should ask when meeting someone. A standard question.

              His dad let out a low whistle. "That's something," he said. "Especially here. There's not exactly an ocean nearby."

              "They have a decent under-grad program at our school, but for grad school, I plan on going to another college. Maybe somewhere in California," he replied and shrugged. "Whichever school accepts me, really."

              Keith really should have asked him those questions in the car or anytime during the previous week.

              There was a lapse in conversation, one in which his dad could have asked what would become of them if Lance moved so far away, but he didn't, for which Keith was grateful. What would he do if Lance moved away? Nothing. They weren't actually dating, so no hurt or sad feelings. No talks of breaking up or moving with him.

              In a change of topic, his dad suddenly grinned and reached out to ruffle Keith's hair. "I'm so glad you got that haircut," he said. Then to Lance he went, "Did you know this kid used to have a mullet? All the way until he was finished with high school."

              "Dad." He swatted his hand away.

              But, naturally, Lance's face had already lit up. "A mullet," he asked. "Oh please tell me there are pictures."

              "Of course there are," his dad beamed and pulled out his phone.

              "You've got to be kidding me," Keith muttered, dragging a hand across his face. "You had one too!"

              "Did not," his dad replied, swiping his thumb across the screen. "My hair was just shaggy. And here, found one from his graduation."

              Keith didn't even bother looking at what picture his dad showed Lance. It didn't matter. Any picture of his mullet-wearing days was going to be that sort of long-lasting, stomach-burning kind of embarrassment.

              "And nobody dragged you to a salon?" Lance asked. "Oh man, these are great."

              "I can send them to you if you'd like."

              "Dad," Keith said for the second time in only a few minutes. If things kept going the way they were, his fake boyfriend and dad were going to become best friends. It would get awkward when they fake broke up.

              His dad and Lance shared a look that didn't put any of Keith's worries to rest.

              "Anyways," Keith said, "I think we should go back inside."

              "You're right," his dad said. "Not good to keep your mom waiting."

 ~*~

              Dinner was full of the questions Lance and Keith had prepared for. His mom asked the main questions while his dad did the follow-ups. It felt more natural with his dad, though, like he really wanted to know the little things; how college was going, if they'd seen the latest Spider-Man movie, why Lance's favorite color was blue. His mom wasn't as stiff as Keith had expected, but she wasn't exactly her warmest.

              His dad insisted he do the dishes while the rest of them figured out what game to play.

              "It's something we've always done," Keith explained. "After dinner, we usually play cards or a board game or sometimes a puzzle."

              "Go show him where they are," his mom said, pouring the rest of the gravy into Tupperware. She looked at Lance, who was looking a little more excited than Keith would've thought. "And if you need to know where anything else is or if you need anything, just ask Keith."

              "Right-o." There was a little salute.

              "You're in a good mood," Keith said as he walked over to the basement door. It was a finished basement, but the cold hit him in much the same way the warmth did when they first entered the house.

              "Hm? Well, yeah, it's been fun," Lance replied, following him down the stairs. "I can't remember the last time I played a board game. I don't actually own any, you know."

              "I guess being in college makes you think you're too old for stuff like that, huh?" Keith said.

              Lance didn't reply.

              After a small debate between Life and Monopoly (Keith only gave in because he remembered the way his mom played Monopoly -- fast and relentless), they returned to the table. Both of his parents were already sitting and there was something in the air that felt like Serious Talk.

              "Good game," his dad noted.

              Whatever they'd been talking about before (although Keith could probably guess) was definitely not going to be said in front of them, so they set up the board and began to play. Lance was the only one to start with a career rather than college and, of course, his car was blue. Keith's was red, his dad's was orange, and his mom chose white.

              When Keith's car made it to the required marriage block, he immediately put another blue figure in the passenger's seat.

              "You're cheating?" Lance asked.

              Keith tried figuring out what he meant. The game was simple -- you spin the wheel and you move forward. How was he cheating? "What?"

              "With Mr. Plastic Face over there!" Lance accused, pointing to the would-be spouse in the car. "You're cheating on me!"

              Keith rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah?" he replied. "What about that little pink figure you've got in your car?" Lance was bi, so it made sense, but it still left Keith with a funny feeling in his stomach.

              Without missing a beat, Lance said, "Well, obviously this marriage is a sham! We need to appeal to the norms of society to live in this cardboard constructed reality. She's got a girlfriend on the side. I know about it and it's okay."

              He couldn't help but smile at that. Lance marrying a girl so she could keep up appearances -- it felt like something he would do.

              "Now I've a question," Keith said. The smile still hadn't faded. "Why didn't it occur to you that maybe the other guy in my car was you?" His face was heating up and he knew it was and why it was, but he was determined to show his mom what this fake relationship meant.

              Lance's slack expression clearly showed he hadn't expected Keith to be so sappy, but it immediately picked up again. "Dawwwww, BABE!" He leaned in and kissed him good and long.

              How his parents reacted, Keith couldn't say. His heart was a little too busy pumping too much blood and making him feel a little too...happy? He didn't want to use the word, especially in relation to what just happened, but it did make the rest of the game a little brighter, more spirited. He laughed a little easier at his dad's bad jokes.

              After they'd played another round, snacking on some almond cookies his mom had made the day before, his dad took a look at his watch while yawning. "I hate to be the guy who says it, but I think it's about that time," he said.

              Keith stretched his arms out, then his back. Sitting for so long -- he couldn't wait to lay down. "I think you may have a point," he said. Then something occurred to him. "Hey, where's Lance going to sleep?" There were only two guest bedrooms in his mom's house: one that was really mostly his and the other that really was used for guests. But unless his parents were getting back together, which wouldn't ever happen for several reasons he didn't want to carefully list out, then it was obvious who would be using the spare.

              "He can sleep in your room," his mom replied, voice and expression cool. "The bed fits two."

              Keith's face must have betrayed something, because his mom continued.

              "Keith, we're both adults here. Even if I had a separate room for him to sleep in, what would be the point?" She made an expression that made Keith think something he really didn't want to think. That his mom believed they were sleeping together? What wild thought train had that been?

              "Okay," he said, though the word felt a little thick in his throat; a mouthful to say when it really wasn't much to say at all.

              Even Lance looked a little tense.

              They grabbed their things from the front and made their way to the room Keith always used. The walls in the hallway were full of pictures of him growing up and his grandparents, of his mom's siblings. The only ones of his dad were when the whole family got together for a picture, either at a barbeque or somebody's christening.

              His room was large enough for a queen-sized bed, desk, dresser, and a full-length mirror. Everything was done up in red and brown tones -- red because it was his favorite. Brown because...well, he guessed his mom just thought they went well together. There were always too many pillows on the bed and spare blankets in the dresser. The closet was mostly empty, except for a couple of labeled boxes from his childhood and an extra jacket.

              As soon as the door was closed and their bags hit the ground, Keith began apologizing. "I'm so sorry, I didn't think this would actually happen," he said."Usually there's another bedroom free and I didn't know my dad was coming here, otherwise I would have just said I couldn't go."

              "Dude," Lance said. "Chill. We got this. It's really not that big of a deal. Just think of it like a sleepover."

              Keith may have nodded, but he didn't understand how Lance was being so calm. They'd never discussed the possibility of sharing a bed. It felt far too personal much too fast and Keith couldn't help but feel responsible for it.

              "Now, you may want to use the bathroom first," Lance said as he crouched down to one of his bags. "I'm gonna need some time."

              Keith was halfway through nodding again when what Lance had said caught up with him. With some curiosity, he watched Lance unzip the first bag. All he saw were bottles and creams. The bag was the size of a small vacuum cleaner. He politely went about his own business and left Lance to organize or do whatever he was about to do with all of...that.

              And it turned out to be a good thing to do as Lance had suggested; he took over an hour in the bathroom and Keith wasn't quite sure he wanted to know what it all entailed.

              Keith had pulled out his computer and was in the middle of watching a dog howl along to sirens on Facebook when Lance reemerged. Wearing a pair of striped blue pajama bottoms and a grey t-shirt, he brought with him the smell of lavender and, quite possibly, vanilla. Or maybe honeysuckle, though to be honest, Keith wasn't altogether sure what honeysuckle really smelled like.

              "Is the bathroom safe to use?" Keith asked.

              Lance's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?" he asked, but his tone held enough suspicion that he probably already knew what Keith meant.

              "If I go in there, will I come out smelling like you from the residual fumes?" Keith probed.

              "Hey man, at least I smell good."

              "I'm going to sleep, I don't need to smell good."

              "I didn't say you needed to," Lance replied.

              "But you implied it," Keith said, rolling his eyes.

              He felt the dip in the mattress when Lance got in bed. The smell was even stronger, but it wasn't altogether unpleasant. And it didn't help his heart any when Lance leaned over to look at what he was doing.

              "Hey, can you look me up?" he asked. "Lance McClain. Two c's."

              Did he not know what privacy meant? He typed it in anyways, but still.

              Lance's picture was of him by some water, wearing a pair of large sunglasses with plastic frames. His cover photo was of a sunset against the ocean, colors smudging into each other and setting everything aglow.

              "And now?" Keith asked.

              "Now click that button," Lance said and pointed to the "add friend" option.              

              Keith gave him a look.

              "What?" Lance said, though a smile crept up, even when he tried pushing it down. "I didn't think you'd do it on your own and I wasn't going to remember to remind you."

              "Are we really friends, though?" Keith asked.

              "Says the guy who is sharing a bed with me."

              Keith made a face and tilted his head, as if to go, "Yeah, well, I guess," and clicked the button.

              "Good, good," Lance said and nestled himself down on his side of the bed.

              Keith shook his head and went back to the front page. What he really wanted to do was go snooping through Lance's Facebook and see all there was to see, but he couldn't exactly do that when the guy in question was laying right next to him. Maybe when he was in the bathroom again, doing his weird nighttime routine. Did he do that in the morning too? Was that why he took so long getting to the car?

              He wanted to shake his head again.

              "Oh right, that's what I wanted to do," he muttered and typed a name into the search bar.

              "What?" Lance asked.

              "Look up my dad's girlfriend," he replied. "I'm surprised he's not with her, to be honest. He usually is." He'd forgotten to ask his dad when they were alone and he didn't want to ask in front of his mom. It wasn't like she had any angry feelings about the divorce, she wasn't injured by it, but Keith didn't want to make her sad.

              Their divorce had been a mutual thing; they'd both fallen out of love and wanted the other to be happier. He'd seen the way they'd awkwardly hug or kiss each other, like it was something to remember, to schedule, otherwise they wouldn't have done it at all. He also remembered the times when it wasn't so cold, when they'd gush over antique knives and swords in faraway cities, during vacations or road trips.

              Keith's decision to stay with his dad was purely based on location and what he wanted to do with his life, which his mom said was smart. The only things she demanded were plenty of phone calls and regular visits, because she "ain't that far away."

              From the snippets he read and the family pictures she'd posted, Keith figured his dad's girlfriend went to visit her own family in Kentucky because her dad was sick. A flush of guilt flew through him for thinking it was possible she'd been cheating or doing something otherwise suspicious. But it was for the sake of his dad, he reasoned.

              "Everything okay?" Lance asked. His question was followed by a yawn covered partly by his hand. "Find what you were looking for?"

              "Yeah," Keith replied, eyes still stuck to the screen. "She's just busy with her own family."

              "Mm," Lance said. His voice sounded a touch fainter. "Must be nice."

              Keith didn't mention the sick father. Instead, he just nodded and went back to his news feed.

              "Now if you're done with that, my darling dear," Lance said, though the only word he didn't mumble or slur was 'darling,' "I would like to sleep."

              "You're really getting a kick out of this relationship thing, huh."

              Lance grinned into his pillow. "Oh you have no idea. Now hurry! Lights out!"

              "I'm going!"

              "Not fast enough!"

              Keith snapped his laptop shut, balanced it on the nightstand, and burrowed down in the blankets, but the lamp next to Lance was out before that. He could have easily kicked Lance for it. The thoughts were there, vengeful and sweet, but he didn't. Instead, he stared up into the darkness until he could start seeing shapes, outlines. Somewhere in the house, the furnace kicked up again; the humming noise was always kind of soothing, even when it wasn't night.

              Lance was breathing somewhere to Keith's right, though he couldn't tell if he'd fallen asleep already. And if he had, how? Maybe Lance was just an easy sleeper or he was used to sleeping around other people. He seemed popular -- he'd probably been the same growing up and had been invited to ALL the sleepovers.

              But sleepovers, after all the fun and excitement wore down, were awkward -- Keith could never sleep until everyone else was passed out and yet he was always the first one up. Maybe he didn't want to be caught sleeping by anyone and his body was just wired to respond to that. Maybe deep down he just figured if he woke up sooner, he could go home just as fast. He didn't know.

              It felt like hours passed before he finally slipped into the lull before sleep, where he slowly sank further and further into a warm and cozy dream about deer and snow.
