The next day Lance woke still in a depression from the day before. He couldn't stop thinking about, and in equal measure dreading, his birthday. Everyone back home used to let him sleep in all he wanted no matter what day his birthday fell on, if it was a school day his mom would call him out sick. His heart ached at the thought of his mother, his sisters and cousins.
He hid his face in his pillow as the pain wracked his heart, he really was a mama's boy he almost felt pathetic. But his mom had always been there for him, always been by his side and supported him. Now she was just gone. He bit his lip as he started to cry into his pillow.
Later that day he made his way to the bridge but was intercepted by their fearless leader Shiro.
"Hey Lance!... Are you ok? You don't look so good" he touched the blue paladin's cheek gently, looking over his face.
"I'm fine Shiro just a little tired.." Lance blushed a little at Shiro's sudden tenderness. Suddenly some loud sounds came from the command room."What's going on in there-"
"Hey Lance, let's relax a while, if you're tired I'll spend the day with you ok?" Shiro lead him away from the room quickly, wrapping his arm around the smaller man. Lance raised an eyebrow as the black paladin smiled nervously.
"Come on, I could use a rest too, let's go to the pool, I heard Allura fixed the gravity in there so it's normal for us now" he pulled Lance along who seemed confused but went along with whatever Shiro wanted.
"Who am I to say no to Daddy?" Lance grinned playfully earning him a warm smile and a kiss on the cheek from Shiro."Good boy, come on" he grinned as the two made their way to their rooms for their swim shorts.
"Is he gone?" Keith spoke into his headset nervously.
"You're clear Shiro intercepted him and took him to the pool. We've lost Shiro for help today though he's gonna need to distract Lance from coming in." Pidge replied as Keith made his way down the hall with some equipment from the space mall.
"Well we lost Dad but we can manage, almost no one distracts as well as a space dad" Pidge chuckles definitely more or less referring to Shiro's ass.
"Perv, just keep an eye on Lance" Keith rolled his eyes.
"Oh don't worry, I am" she had a full view of both Lance and Shiro at the pool and she was LOVING it.
"My god you pervert." Keith sighed but smiled despite himself.
"Fight me."
"Cannon baaalll!" Lance exclaimed as he jumped into the pool, causing a huge splash. Shiro chuckled and splashed Lance as he came up.
"Top that!" the blue paladin challenged his space dad who smirked in return.
"You asked for it!" Shiro swam to the edge to get out. Just as he was about to jump in Lance absolutely cheated and called out.
"OH SHIT PIDGE IS STREAKING!"
"WHAT!?" Shiro whirled around to get into dad mode only to slip and fall flat on his back into the pool. When he came up he was less than pleased with his son's actions.
"Oh Laaa-aance" Shiro smirked looking annoyed as he lunged for his son. Lance was beyond gone as he swam for his life to avoid the wrath of space dad. Unfortunately Shiro was a much stronger swimmer than the lanky blue paladin and caught up quick, catching the smaller man by his pants and pulling him under.
When they came up he had Lance in a soft but firm head-lock and was giving him a rather painful head nuggie.
"This is what you get for shameless cheating!" Shiro laughed as Lance squirmed.
Pidge had physically hit her face against the wall when she heard what Lance used to fool Shiro.
"Keith remind me to fucking kill Lance after this"
There was a round of audible and over dramatic gasps when Pidge swore making her plant her head in the wall again.
"I FUCKING HATE YOU GUYS."
Another round of over dramatic gasps and laughing as pidge chased her siblings down for making fun of her.
On their way back from the pool, both men were sore from the wrestling.
"Ugh ok ok I'm sorry for shamelessly abusing my sister, happy?" Lance groaned as Shiro smacked his back firmly.
"Yes, very" he laughed before rubbing his son's back tenderly.
"Let's head back to my room for a shower and maybe a little something else?" Lance perked up at that and followed his Space dad MUCH more eagerly with the promise of fun times ahead.
