Lance's Birthday

[this is just a lil bonus story-type thing i did for fun for baby blue's b-day! i love him so freaking much? like what even he's so perfect djehdhsjdjr]

Hey, it's Keith.

So, today's Lance's birthday.

In case you didn't know.. we're... kind of.. maybe...

Together?

So, I thought I'd surprise him.

Story Mode [Keith]

Time: 9:45

"Hey, Lance! You up yet?"

I heard him groan on the other side of the door and chuckled quietly to myself. He did not like getting up in the morning.

"I'll take that as a yes?"

"What do you want?" He mumbled.

"Nothing, how much longer are you going to be?" I asked.

"I'll be up tomorrow evening."

"Ha ha, very funny. Can I come in?"

"Please," he answered.

I walked in and sat on his bed. "Hey."

"Hi," he grinned. "Should I be excited for today?"

Yes, you should. "What do you mean?"

He sat up. "You're messing with me, aren't you?"

"Why would I be messing with you?" I played innocent.

"Are you joking? You're joking, aren't you, Keith?" He nudged me.

"Joking about what? Lance, you're confusing me," I placed the back of my hand on his forehead for good measure. He's gonna hate me for a little while, but it'll be worth it.

"What the hell, Keith?" He smacked my hand away.

"Lance, what's wrong?" I frowned.

"Oh my god. Keith. You're yanking my chain. You have to be," he got up and sat on his knees in front of me, putting his hands on my shoulders as I turned to face him. He looked devastated, his face dropping and in a depressing frown. "You really don't know, do you?" His voice cracked.

I hated doing this to him, but how else am I supposed to make it a surprise?

"I'm sorry," I wrapped my hands around his wrists, keeping them in place as I looked at him with sympathy. "I don't."

"Go."

"What?"

"Please go, Keith."

"Lance, I--"

"Keith," he couldn't look me in the eyes. "Please."

I sighed, standing up and kissing his cheek. "I love you, you know."

He said nothing.

I resisted the urge to tackle him in a hug and tell him it was fake and about everything that I had planned, and walked out.

When the door closed behind me, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Pidge came walking down the hallway with a clipboard in her hands, scribbling something down.

"Hey, Pidge. Did you get Allura to lock onto the coordinates?"

She looked up. "Oh, yes. We'll be there in a few vargas."

"Great, you're a lifesaver. Remember, don't tell Lance anything. It'll ruin the surprise. He thinks I forgot his birthday, so just don't go near him at all. Tell the others, too. Hopefully he stays in his room all day, but maybe try to figure out how to lock him in there just in case. When we get there, I'll unlock it and walk in and tell him it was a malfunction and then lead him out. Got it?"
