Lance's Tears

Lance looked up at me, tears in his eyes, face red from crying.
"Go away Kogane. You're the last person I need." He said quietly but firmly.

"What? I just wanna help." That was a lie. I wanted him to shut up.
"Well you won't. You'll just make it worse."
"Calm down, tell me why you're crying."

Lance paused, thinking, and I sat down on the floor next to him.
"You really wanna know? Or are you just trying to get me to be quiet?"
"A bit of both," I admitted.
"Well thanks mister honesty. I guess I'll tell you, it's not like anyone else is gonna listen to me," he said sarcastically, "Ok. So Lotor and I are going out. I like him, but... he's not my soulmate. The truth is, I thought I could live without my soulmate, but I know who they are now and I can't help but think 'what if I'm doing everything wrong? What if I'm just dating Lotor to avoid commitment' y'know? And my soulmate... is also supposed to be my enemy."

Wait what? His soulmate is his enemy too? That doesn't make any sense...
"Your soulmate is your enemy?"
"Yeah... I have the same name on both wrists."
"Who's name?" I asked, guessing he wouldn't tell me.
"Why the hell would I tell you that?" He said, proving me right.

"My whole life I've tried to accept that I wouldn't definitely have a soulmate. I told myself 'whatever happens, happens' and I thought I was okay being different but I don't feel that way anymore. Now I realise I don't like my soulmate. Actually, I hate them. That was always a possibility but I never really considered it properly. I realise now that I want a soulmate. I want someone to love me like that. Like Matt and Shiro. Best friends that can talk about anything but also made for each other. Or Hunk and Shay. They don't get to see each other often but when they do it's like they were never apart."

"Lance, I don't know how to help you but I'm glad we talked. I really hated you before but you're not that bad. You suffer like the rest of us." I joked.
"Thanks I guess," he replied in a happy tone, but his eyes seemed more concerned than before.
"It'll be okay Lance. It'll work out." I said, standing up. Lance went to the sink and washed his face, and I headed back to my dorm.

I had a lot to think about. I still didn't like Lance, but I didn't hate him anymore. Now it made sense if Lotor was my enemy, and Lance was my soulmate. I needed confirmation. And what then? Break Lotor and Lance up? Bad idea.

Why does everything have to be so damn complicated?

—————Lance's POV

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

This was worse than before. Originally I was crying because I was so confused, because Lotor wasn't my soulmate and I knew I'd end up hurting him. I clearly didn't like him as much as he liked me.

And Keith wasn't unbearable anymore, which was a new development. A strange one. An insane one. A development I wish had never happened because now he might become my soulmate and come between me and Lotor.

Even though we had a promise to stay friends if that happened, i wasn't optimistic about it.
