Wasn't really planning on making a part 2 to this but here we are I guess!

Third POV
Y/n sat in her room as she stared at the wall. She found herself doing that a lot as she tried to pull broken memories together. She remembered most from the days before she was put into the chamber, but some things were still fuzzy or incomplete. Luckily Allura remembered most of what she couldn't but like everything in life, not all answers were given right away. Most of her time was spent in her room staring at the grey cold wall but she was okay with that.
Besides her weird wall staring, she also did some gazing at something else-or in this case someone else. Keith to be exact. Man, y/n had fallen hard for Keith. She was so curious about him. She thinks she likes him because he's so mysterious. Keith had also been doing his share of staring. Luckily for both of them, they had never caught each other staring. They both made it a mental rule to only stare when they knew the other person was busy. Along with the two love birds, everyone else seemed to be oblivious to it. While lance did know that Keith liked y/n, Lance had moved back on to his crush on Allura. That boy moves fast.

Y/n had found herself reading in the lounge after reading all throughout the castle. Y/n loved reading ever since she was a little girl. Books, books, and more books. She'd read anything. Fantasy, non-fiction, thriller, mystery; you name it, y/n will read it. Y/n had found herself lost in her book as Keith entered the room, unknowing of y/ns presence.
He saw her sitting -or slouching- on the couch and he decided to be brave and sit next to her.
"Hey y/n." He spoke up.
"O-oh! Hey keith! How's your day going?" She slightly blushed.
"Pretty good now that I'm talking to you." He slipped before he could catch himself. His eyes widened and his cheeks turned red "U-um... I just mean that-well it's just-I-uh-well I just like talking to you. You seem to always have interesting input and you always read books so you're very smart! B-but I'm not just using you for information, I actually care about your opinion! A-and your feelings too! I-I care about you... I do."
"T-thanks Keith. I care about you too."
He let out a small chuckle and looked down at his feet. Soon after the silence had commenced the lounge door had opened. Lance walked in and saw the tension.
"Well, if this tension was any thicker, it would beat Kim Kardashian in a contest." Lance sassed.
Lance smushed himself in between the awkward friends and rested his arms on the couch behind both of their heads.
"Lance." Keith growled, warning him of what he was doing "Don't."
"I mean, if I were Keith, I would have asked you out by now." Lance said as he turned to y/n.
"Lance!" Keith shouted turning his head to lance with wide eyes. Y/n blushed and gave an uncomfortable chuckle. Keith face palmed and groaned.
"I mean, seriously, he like really likes you. And now I told him I liked you, too, but I decided to let him have you. But soon if he doesn't ask you out, I might have to."
"LANCE! Leave!" Keith shouted so loud that lance jumped. He looked at Keith who was bright red from not only anger but embarrassment. Keith was pointing to the door.
"Okay okay. Just trying to help." Lance put his hands up and left.
Keith looked back over to see y/n twiddling her thumbs and her body was completely tense. Keiths body soon drained his anger and flushed with embarrassment when he remembered why she was so tense.
"I-I-I am so sorry about lance. He can say stuff that he doesn't mean or doesn't understand." Keith stuttered as his voice strained.
"It's alright. I know how he can be." She mumbled still playing with her fingers. "But is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"Is it true that..."she trailed off for a moment, becoming small and blinking rapidly "that you like me."
Keiths eyes went wide, not remembering that lance outed his feelings for the princess's sister.
"W-we-well yeah. I-I do."
She blushed and smiled lightly.
"I like you too." She blurted out.
"Y-you do?"
"Yeah." She nodded softly.
Keith found himself smirking as he looked at the girl still curled inside herself. She no longer looked scared but more nervous of what he was going to say next. Keith took this as the opportunity to help her join the world again.
"Well I'm glad."
