Summary
One day as he watches Lance playing with molding clay in front of him, the question slips out.
“What does the word ‘optimistic’ mean, Shiro?”
“It means, like...” He lets his eyes drift to the ceiling, as if the definition suitable for children could be found above him on the ceiling fan blades. “You’re staying positive. Like... happy, kind of. Seeing the bright side of things.”
“So not Keith,” Lance snaps.
“I... I can be optimistic,” Keith says, crushing the star he had made a few minutes earlier. A lump forms in his throat. He didn’t mean to do that.
“Sure,” Lance says. “And I’m the queen of England.”
“I can!” Keith cries, and he grips the molding clay a bit tighter. Some of it squeezes out from between his knuckles. “I can. If you can be, then I can be too.”
