/noun/

a casual romantic or sexual relationship

OR

"I didn't think I would see you here again, Troublemaker," an all too familiar voice remarks, from outside the simulator. Rolling his eyes, all the while wishing he had the simulation already running so he could pretend not to hear him, Keith turns to look at Shiro.

"And I thought you had better things to do than linger around the simulators, Hotshot," Keith responds, with a smirk. "Aren't you the Garrison's golden boy, or is it all just an act?"

"I could ask you the same thing. Your grades and behavior are great during the day but at night," Shiro motions to the simulator as he speaks, "You're a rule breaker. You're supposed to be asleep. Or, at the very least, you're supposed to be pretending to be asleep. You could get a detention for this, you know."

"I know, you told me yesterday. You also told me to just call you 'Shiro' so I have a feeling my actions don't upset you as much as they should." At this point Keith is grinning from ear to ear, and so is Shiro.

"Yeah," Shiro responds, all the while rubbing the back of his own neck, "I guess I just have a soft spot for pilots with insomnia."

At these words, Keith's smile fades. "Is it that obvious?"

"No," Shiro replies, "I'm only able to tell because I have insomnia too. It's amazing what medicine can do. Or, in my case, what cognitive behavioral therapy can do. Do yourself a favor and pay the med bay a visit tomorrow."

"Yes, Dad," Keith quips, letting a smirk form on his face once again. "That is, I'll go if you beat me in a battle in the flight simulator."

"Deal."
