(70) Part 5

Lance's pov:

They did end up having to reheat their food once they finally joined everyone else but that was to be expected. Shiro and Keith were currently washing up the dishes and packing away leftovers whilst everyone else played Uno at the table, the ultimate friend destroying card game. "Hunk, Pidge, did you two want apple slices and strawberries too?" Keith offered as he took out a knife and cutting board whilst Shiro took a seat at the table to watch the game up close. Shiro should totally join in the next round! Hopefully they'll beat Pidge soon.. With Shiro added to the mix surely they'll have a better chance at winning!

"Ooo! Sure! Oh and- Uno! The color is red now." Pidge exclaimed impishly after they viciously +4'd Hunk. Poor guy.. "I still think you're somehow cheating, you always get +4s." Hunk groaned as he collected his cards, quickly reorganizing them in his hand. "Blame Lance, he sucks at shuffling cards." Pidge accused playfully, keeping their last card face down on the table so no one could sneak a peek at it.

"At least I can shuffle cards. The color is blue now." He huffed, placing down his own +4 card overtop of the one Pidge assaulted Hunk with. Judging by the look in Pidge's eyes, there isn't another +4 in their hand, thank the gods. "I was just about to win- I could literally jump across this table and kill you right now! You couldn't have played any other card?" Pidge complained bitterly as they snatched up their deserved cards in defeat.

A loud thunk startled everyone in their seats, drawing their attention to the only person who wasn't sitting down at the table with them. Keith was standing there ominously with the large knife stabbed downward into the cutting board. That must've been the source of the noise, but why'd his mate do that in the first place? His husband's scent was souring more and more by the second and almost making it hard to breathe, the only one unaffected by such a concern was Hunk. But.. What the hell upset his mate to this extent all of a sudden?

Everyone watched on warily as Keith slowly turned his body to face Pidge, leveling his gaze on them specifically. That is definitely not a friendly expression- nope- not in the least! Can he even help in this situation? Seriously, what happened to upset Keith in such a way? Was it something regarding Pidge? It must be right? "D-Darling?" He stammered nervously, unsure of what to do to remedy this kind of tense situation. Keith ignored Lance calling for him as he nonchalantly made his way towards Pidge, walking as if nothing was wrong but anyone with working eyes or an ability to sense pheromones would know something was definitely not right.

To say that Pidge was nervous or even scared wouldn't be that far off the mark, it was evident by Pidge's scent and mannerisms that they were feeling quite uneasy. Why did his mate ignore him? Did his friend truly do such a dishonorable thing to trigger this kind of heated reaction? "Keith?" Pidge timidly muttered, trying to push their chair out and away from the table to get away from the approaching omega. With a growl and a swift movement Keith abruptly spun Pidge's chair to the side with them still on it, forcing them to look up at him. Keith is downright furious! But why??

"You think you're tough shit now just because you've presented as an alpha, don't you? Well guess what, you're not, you're still acting like an unaware pup. I don't care if you were joking or not, don't you ever fucking threaten him again." Keith warned with a guttural growl, harshly spinning Pidge's chair back around and almost throwing the young alpha off of it in the process. So that's what this was about.. But Pidge truly was just joking! None of them would ever think about harming them! And- He knows what his mate had done when Marzipan was almost kidnapped from the castle but to think Keith's behavior could flip so easily.. Then again, this is all just because his husband is overprotective of him. Why is that kind of... Hot? Is that the right word? He thinks it is.
