[Keith calms, but there's still things he's irritated about. How could he know Lance was flying blind? He knew things probably weren't the way Lance imagined. He's seen how he babbles at girls, and how he planned their date, and all of it—it's not like he's blind. But they could've talked about this sooner. It should've been ... clearer.
What is clear is that Lance is already talking in past tense, and that's what makes Keith realize that he was already talking in past tense. Was, was, didn't, etc.—it all stands out like a foregone conclusion.]
Well, at least you won't have to anymore. [The desire to just tell Lance to get out is there, like a defensive kick to keep someone from hurting him. Even if that's not Lance's fault. It's just the discomfort. Keith has a feeling this is always going to be hard for him if there's more to it.] You won't have to worry about what I want anymore.
