Two weeks went by relatively fast. Keith facetimed Shiro every night - by Shiro's request, and actually ended up facetiming Lance twice. Lance was drunk the first time and had texted Keith the next day asking about it because, apparently, he didn't remember it at all.
He had said Keith's name once that first time, whispering it and laughing while pointing out, again, it was their dirty little secret. Lance seemingly flirted with him the entire time, but Keith didn't mention any of those things when he told Lance about it. So Lance asked him if he had liked doing that and if they could do it again, with a sober Lance that second time around and Keith agreed to it.
Keith's phone was filled with Lance's face from the selfies he insisted on sending, but also with a bunch of photos he'd gotten from Pidge and from Shiro, so he had to disable the automatic saving function, but didn't have it in him to delete all the pictures. When he facetimed Lance the second time Lance was ready to go to bed, so he was rooming with Allura. He called Keith "mullet" and "mullet head" the entire call and made sure not to say Keith's name once. Keith was thankful for it, even if he hated that nickname with all his heart and soul.
It was late at night when The Paladins arrived back, so Keith only saw Shiro the next day after his job. But he figured they were all tired because his phone was silent the whole day. He got the first text as soon as he left the Blade of Marmora.
Lance McClain: honey I'm home ;)
Keith: Yours or mine?
Lance McClain: oh is that an invitation?
Keith: Absolutely not.
Lance McClain: wanna hang out?
Keith: I'm free tomorrow if you are.
Lance McClain: wow that was easy
Lance McClain: I'm not complaining btw
Lance McClain: here's the proposition: arcading
Keith: What time?
Lance McClain: after lunch? so around 2pm?
Keith: Deal.
Lance McClain: I can't wait to kick your ass at shooting games ;)
Keith: I'll kick yours first in all driving ones, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lance McClain: he uses emojis :oo
Keith: He does. What's the address of the arcade?
Lance McClain: I'll text it to you later!!!
Keith put his phone into his pocket to get down from the bus and walk to his building. So, apparently, Lance would keep his word and "hang out" with Keith again. Which meant they would probably argue about who would be paying what again, since Lance had tried to convince him he'd only let Keith pay last time because he was going to pay the next one. Keith tried not to be bothered by the use of "hang out" again. He was confused about whatever he had going on with Lance.
Sometimes it seemed as if they were flirting and other times Keith felt like Lance treated him as a lifelong friend. That would be weird enough already if Lance didn't act all flirty with Keith, since they'd known each other for weeks. Three weeks. Not even a month. Sure, from what he'd heart from Shiro that was just how Lance worked. Not that Keith had brought Lance up; he hadn't. Shiro had. Which made Keith panic about whether Shiro knew the truth, but, apparently he didn't. Keith had seen Lance in the back one of the times he was facetiming Shiro and Shiro had noticed and asked Lance to say hi - because Shiro was the sweetest, but also that kind of asshole.
"Hey." Keith had said, seemingly uninterested, getting a glare from Shiro that he knew meant 'be nice'.
"'Sup, Shiro's lil bro." Lance had answered and grinned.
"I have a name, you know?" Keith had said and narrowed his eyes; Lance had hummed in response and excused himself from the conversation.
"He's... Not usually like that." Shiro had looked at Keith apologetically. "Actually he's very warm and befriends people easily. It would be creepy if he wasn't so good at understanding and respecting people's boundaries. Because Lance is an open book, for most part." Keith had shrugged and changed subject. Later that night Lance had texted him asking if Shiro had suspected anything and Keith replied telling him that if he ever called Keith 'Shiro's lil brother' again he would be introduced to Keith's fists. Lance had texted 'not quite the way I'd like to, I imagine' and Keith had changed the subject, happy that Lance couldn't see how much he was blushing.
