(Ship Shot - Klance) Birthday

(I know they're birthdays are bein confirmed. Everyone's birthdays here are real, I checked, except Keith's (his isn't confirmed yet, please forgive me.)

Keith wanted to strangle every last person on this ship at the current moment.

They were trying to have a nice dinner. Yknow, have a nice time. Until Pidge had to ask.. "I wonder how old I'd be on Earth right now."

And then they began to talk about birthdays.

Now, personally, birthdays to Keith were overrated. You get together with a whole bunch of family you haven't seen all year, eat some weird cake your mom got you after a weird Satanic ritual of singing a song and slice the cake like an angry toddler.

Maybe that's just because he was an orphan?

But when he was old enough, he would just treat himself to an ice cream or something stupid (despite being lactose intolerant) on his birthday and move on.

(Ik he's not really but it's a headcanon let's just move on-)

So now look where they were. Shiro told them his birthday, February 29th, which was then followed by everyone laughing and then making the "oh my god, so you're like, 6" jokes on the man. He just laughed and smiled.

Hunk told his, January 13th! Pidge told him that his birthday must've just passed (she checked her dates and times. On Earth, it was the middle of February. Which was followed by a round of "happy late birthday, man" from Lance, Hunk, Shiro. Keith mumbled it out.

Pidge was on April 3rd. Almost April first, as Lance had pointed out time and time again. Lance, well, July 28th.

Keith almost chocked in his space goo. July 28th?

Then he grinned.

Everyone turned to him, "Keith. When's your birthday?"

Keith shrugged. "I don't really care about birthdays." He answered.

"Whaaaaa? Why not?" Hunk said, shocked. "Birthdays are so fun! You get gifts and cake and all your friends come over to celebrate you!"

"Yeah, happy exposure to the world from a vagina, kid, life sucks."

Shiro glared, making Keith mumble out a sorry at his language in front of Pidge.

Lance narrowed his eyes. "You really.. don't care about birthdays?"

"I was a c-section baby, Lance." He said through his mumbles, chewing his food. "And I was an orphan after that. The way I see it, both my parents hated me so much that neither of them showed up at my birth."

"Oh my god-- that's not funny but it also is." Pidge snorted.

Keith smirked, a half smile on his face. "You can laugh, Pidge, I won't hold it against ya. Or any of y'all for that matter."

"..y'all.." Hunk whispered out. Lance began to laugh at him.

"Oh my god you actual Texan--" He wheezed. Everyone chuckled a little bit, at least. Then Allura, from the end of the table, spoke:

"Back to the topic... Keith, why won't you tell us your birthday? Is it after Lances? Are you embarrassed about it, if it is? I know you two have your rivalry and all--"

"It's not after Lances, Allura.." Keith cut in. "It's actually before. Sorta.."

"Sorta? Can you please elaborate...?" Asked Pidge.

Keith sighed and put his spoon down. "July 27th." He spoke numbly. "11:56pm. I was almost born on the 28th."

Lance choked on his food. "ARE YOU QUIZNAKKING KIDDING ME!?"

"Lance!" Scolded Shiro.

"Pidge do some math for me, would you?"

While the two of them did their math thing, Hunk and Keith spoke about Hunks life. He didn't know much about the ray of sun, (as Pidge and Lance called him) and wanted to learn more.

Apparently he wanted to be a Chef. Not like that surprised Keith, the man was a god in the kitchen. He also really loved the little metal trinket around his neck, and played with it often. According to Hunk, it was a gift from Shay. Lovely girl, her and Keith talked for a few minutes when they were saving we planet. The Yellow Paladin became increasingly flustered whenever the balmara girl was brought up. Keith couldn't help but smile at him.

Shiro took it soon himself to speak to Allura about her race. Alteans were strong, independent creatures thousands of years ago. Just like her father, Allura wanted to protect the Paladins as best she could (although sometimes... her leadership skills were lacking.)

Lance returned a few minutes later with a stoic expression on his face.

"Lance? You okay?" Asked Hunk.

"Five minutes..." He replied.

"What?"

"Five. Minutes. Keith. You're older then me by five minutes. You said.. what.. 11:56? I was born 12:01. "

For the rest of the day, no one understood why Keith was so slow. Acted so embarrassed around Lance. They assumed it was something to do with learning he was the elder.

Quite incorrect.

Keith didn't have the heart to tell them that the c-section was needed because he was coming out the wrong way.

He didn't tell them that after he was born, he didn't take his first breath right away and his family thought he died.

He didn't tell them that his first breath was taken five minutes after he was born.

Born 11:56.

Keith didn't tell them that... he didn't take his first breath..

Until Lance was brought into the world.

12:01.
