lance stared awkwardly at his team mates. he glanced over at allura as she glared angrily at him. even though lance constantly hit on her, he genuinely found allura to be smart, kind, and very attractive. lance didn't really have any attraction towards her. at this point in their relationship lance saw her more as a younger sister than anything else. a small smile appeared on his face as he looked at her, 'you are so strong and it is so hard to remember that at times like these.'

"what's got you smiling lover boy?" pidge questioned as they smirked at the grinning boy.

"just thinking about how ridiculously handsome i am." lance said with a sudden pride, regaining control of the atmosphere. "yeah, ridiculous." keith said under his breath, knowing very well that lance could hear him.

"woah there keith, i know you are not talking about this money maker." lance said as he whipped around to face keith.

"oh but i am" keith said.

just as things were about to get heated shiro intervened "you'll both have enough time to work out your, issues, when we're fighting galran soldiers. but for now, sit down and eat your goo, or else no extra training time-" he eyeballed keith "-and no earlier sleep schedules." shiro finished as he moved his attention to lance. they both responded with a huff and a crossing of arms but did as they were told.

'why does dad always have to be so harsh on us geez.' then lance realized what he said.

dad

he legitimately just called the black paladin, shiro, his dad. he let out a wide smirk and said "you don't always have to be so harsh, dad." adding emphasis to the last word he looked over at a now flustered shiro who called out "IM ONLY 6 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU!" (idk man i always imagined lance to be 19 and shiro to be 25)

pidge and hunk couldn't contain their laughter as they doubled over in their seats while allura giggled and coran merely smirked and walked away.

keith on the other hand wasn't so amused. in fact, quite the opposite. he looked angry. he looked jealous.

lance noticed this and immediately took advantage of the situation. "well i mean of course you're around my age i mean, look at how good you look. people would probably assume that you were my brother before you were my dad."

keith tensed at the words but said nothing. shiro blushed a deeper shade of red as words fell out of his mouth something along the lines of "-imeanimnotevenyourdad" and "-whyareyousayingthingslikethat"

pidge immediately picked up on what was going on and when hunk didn't they nudged him and pointed to the direction of a very obviously jealous keith.

hunk made an "o" shape with his mouth and smiled.

it seemed like things were dialing down but pidge didn't want that. no. they wanted to dial things up. to the point where the dial broke and was thrown across the room somewhere.

"oh my gosh lance i know you and shiro have been like dating in secret but can you shut up about him for five minutes it's always shiro this shiro that like geez." actually it's always keith this, keith that.

"w-wha-" shiro tried to get out but keith interrupted by slamming his hands down on the table yelling "WHAT?!"

lance calmly and cooly replied "oh yeah, i never told you did i? sorry keith" he said the last part scratching the back of his neck. keith lost it and stormed out. lance, pidge, and hunk were doubled over with laughter.

allura blushed a bit but composed herself. "alright alright it was funny but sit up now and finish dinner." she said.

the three got back in their chairs to find a broken red-hot shiro mumbling.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" he finally yelled, to the others surprise. "a prank on keith because he's obviously gay for lance." pidge said nonchalantly.

shiros blush faded a bit. "oh," he merely said.

"woah woah woah, the keithster is not gay for me." lance said arguably putting his hands on the table.

"not when you give him those gay nicknames." pidge began to argue. in the middle of their laughter allura piped up to say the sentence

"what does 'gay' mean?"

everyone froze.

'oh gosh how do we explain this IMMM' lance and pidge both thought.

shiro's "dad instincts" took over as he leaned forward onto his elbows and looked at allura.

"allura, you know what love is, right?" shiro asked cautiously.

"yes. it is a bond between two people that is more than just friendship. it can be romantic or platonic." allura responded.

''always one with the intellectual responses.' lance thought to himself.

"well, um- you see..." shiro stumbled over his words like a drunk leaving a bar.

"lance would love to explain it to you." shiro said quickly as he got up and practically ran out of the dining hall along with a giggling pidge.

'fuck fuck fuck how do i explain homosexuality to a princess of a different species that's pretty much had the extinction button on hold for the past 10,000 years??' lance honestly didn't know how to approach this.

here we go i guess.
