Keith opened up his messages and sent a quick text to Lance.

Keith: Can we talk?

Lance: Yeah, wanna meet up somewhere?

Keith: Fine

Lance: Tomorrow at noon, Nemphis' Park

Keith: Okay
Keith: I love you, you know

Lance read the message, and swiped out of the app.

"Shiro, you remember when I first introduced you two?" Keith asked his boyfriend.

Shiro nodded, "Yeah, he was kinda cute."

Keith noticed a tiny blush, "Kinda? He was pretty much the definition of cute."

Shiro chuckled, "Aside from you."

Keith snorted, "I'm not cute."

Shiro, in the driver's seat, directed the two to the park. Keith probably would've got a speeding ticket if he had driven. Besides, last time Keith was in shotgun, it was weeks ago. Shiro needed a turn riding their beaut'.

Keith sighed as he thought about Lance. He wanted to fix things, but he didn't know what to expect from the other boy at this point. And with Shiro being there, maybe Lance will get... mad? But who cares? That's his fault, not mine, Keith thought.

Shiro pulled up to the sidewalk next to Nemphis' Park. They couldn't see Lance, but Keith was almost certain he'd be by the swings (or on them, attempting and failing at doing tricks off them). When Keith and Shiro hopped out of their vehicle, Keith took Shiro's arm.

"I think he's this way," Keith led Shiro down the grassy dirt to the trees, where a sandy path would lead to the playsets.

"It's a nice park, we should have a date her sometime," Shiro commented, trying to cheer Keith's mood before he interacted with the other boy.

Keith just nodded, eyeing the ground in front of him. Soon enough, the reached the park. Lance was sadly sitting on the swing, hand holding the chain and his head against it. When he heard Keith and Shiro, he looked back down without making eye contact.

Keith sat next to Lance on the first swing, Shiro on the other side on the third.

"Hey," Keith smiled lightly.

"Hey," Lance replied glumly. "What did you wanna talk about?"

Shiro kept quiet as Keith responded, "You know... what happened."

Lance nodded, "Me too. You start."

Keith sighed, "Fine. I'm sorry I reacted the way I did. I was hurt, and I should've have lashed out at you."

Lance nodded, "Apology accepted."

"And?" Shiro lifted an eyebrow after a moment of awkward silence.

"And... Keith... I'm sorry I got angry at you, I know you were just trying to help," Lance glanced up at Shiro, then made eye contact with Keith.

Keith nodded, "Are you okay?"

Lance nodded back, "Yeah, I am."

Shiro stood and gave Keith his hand to stand, and Lance stood after, "You guys wanna go catch a movie?"

Part 4 will be the last chapter, including the makeout scene. Sorry if this wasn't as you expected, or too long!!
