"So what's this roommate of yours like?" I asked Matt as we walked down the halls to his dorm. Matt pushed his glasses further up his nose and shrugged a little.

"He's nice, a little older than us and.."

"Older than you old timer?" I asked, nudging him.

"I'm not that old!" Matt complained.

"Are you sure brother? I think I see some gray hair in here." Pidge said, touching the top of her brothers head. He swatted her hand away as Hunk and I tried not to snicker.

"Stop it you three." Matt commanded but we still shared secret smiles behind Matt's back. "He's a nice guy, as I was saying. Try not to stare at him too hard and don't embarrass me, Lance."

"Me? Embarrass you?" I asked with confusion. "Ashamed that you know me Matthew."

"Yes." He replied in a dead pan voice that made me laugh. His small grin a second later let me know that he was just messing around.

"And what do you mean don't stare? Is he unbelievably handsome? Are we going to be stunned by his beauty."

"I don't know." Matt said giving me a funny look. "Just.. You'll see what I mean when you meet him. Don't ask him about it by the way. Took him two years to open up to me about it. He's just meeting you and Hunk so.." Matt paused. "Just don't look surprised okay."

"We'll try not to." I said with a sarcastic salute. Matt grimaced a little as we came to a halt in front of his door. Pulling out his keys, he unlocked it and stepped inside, announcing our presence.

"Shiro! Pidge and her friends are here!"

"We're Matt's friends too!" I shouted as we stepped into the small living space. "He just doesn't want to admit it." The guy at the desk turns slightly to look at us and smiles widely.

"Hey guys." He greets. At first, I don't know what Matt was talking about when he said not to stare at Shiro, other than the fact that this dude was literally drop dead gorgeous. Was he talking about the scar on the bridge of his nose? "It's nice to meet you." He stands up and that's when I notice it. He has a prosthetic arm. "You must be Lance."

"How'd you know?" I ask, as he holds out his good arm for me to shake. Shit.. I shouldn't say good arm... But I can't say real arm either. That's insensitive.. he smirks a little and I try not to get flustered.

"Matt said you were pretty sarcastic. Plus, he describes you both well." We stop shaking hands and I grin devishly.

"Let me guess, he described me as exceedingly handsome and pleasing to look at?"

"More like, Hispanic, annoying and self-centered." Pidge listed off at my elbow.

"Pidge!" I shouted as she started to laugh. Shiro shook his head and moved to greet Hunk.

"Hey, how's it going?"

"Oh, great Shiro. It's nice to meet you. Matt talks about you often."

"Only to tell them how annoying you are." Matt buts in.

"Uh-huh, sure." Shiro says, not believing him. "Did you all want to hang out here or do something better with our lives?"
