[Keith clenched his teeth, his lips parting to bare them slightly as the emotions flowing between the two of them became harder and harder to separate in his own mind. He wanted to scream back, demand from Lance how they could fix it, and still, as Lance dragged his mother and Shiro into it, it was like a stab to the heart.
He wasn't ready to let go of that anger. He clung to it, even as Lance ran out of steam and moved to sag back into the water... only to get stuck somehow, tangled up in the moorings.
It was utterly ridiculous, and, as hard as Keith tried to stay mad, tried to come up with a snarky comment, he couldn't. Keith from a few years ago? Probably yes. But now?
He stared for a second at that tail, and how Lance had to cling to the side of the dock, his anger slowly ebbing away as Lance's own frustration and panic took over. He took a deep breath in through his nose and slowly let it out. Then he turned, crouching down next to the piling to examine how Lance might have gotten tangled up.]
What the heck did you do? [He was trying to keep that anger between them, because now it would hurt to let it go, to admit that Lance's words had cut deep, but it wasn't working very well.]
