It happened out of nowhere. The Paladins visited a planet, and of course, the red Paladin comes back with a terrible sickness. Coran said that it wouldn't kill him- which was the good news. The bad news was that someone would have to take care of him. Hunk said that he would've loved to- at the same time though, he didn't want to get the cold Keith had. Pidge came up with the excuse that she was going to be looking at footage from her brother Matt's escape to decipher anymore information- so she couldn't help with Keith either. Shiro, though he thought of Keith as a little brother, didn't want to do it either- he told him something along the lines of, 'I have to um.. do some leader stuff. Like uh growing a bond with the black lion, now that's important.' With everyone else busy, Lance was the only one who couldn't think of a good enough excuse. Which was unfortunate for the pair, only because they slightly hated each other, they were rivals after all.

Though the red Paladin didn't mind it too much, he promised himself that he would move their rivalry aside if it meant that he could spend time with Lance. Even if it was only when he had to take his temperature, or give him something to eat. Keith was told that the other Paladins would definitely stop by, just not very often.. he knew they didn't want to take care of his sick ass, so he didn't take it personally. After Shiro had stopped by for five minutes or so to ask how Keith was doing, Lance shuffled in with a steaming hot bowl of soup. At least, some rendition of an earthling soup that he probably made with the help of Coran. "Alright Mullet, some chicken soup without the chicken. Coran's recipe.." Lance says while placing the bowl down. "Because I pulled the short straw-" Keith let out a hoarse laugh while Lance glared into his soul. "Because you have the most free time." Keith says, correcting Lance's first attempt at an excuse. "Fine because I have the most free time, I'll be taking care of you. But don't worry I have lots of experience with this type of stuff. My siblings got colds all the time, and me being the oldest- I had to take care of them when my parents were at work.." Lance stays quiet for a second, Keith could tell, that during that small amount of time- the Brunette felt homesick. All of the Paladins did. "I'm sure that if we ever go back to earth you'll be able to help your brothers and sister with their colds. But for now you have me, so turn that frown upside down." Lance let's out a chuckle while Keith coughs into his hand. "That's disgusting. Everyone knows that you cough into your elbow- do you want me to get sick too?" Lance says as Keith sighs. "Maybe I want a sick buddy. Now that'd be an experience." The shorter male says with his hoarse voice from before. Lance scoffs and walks back towards the door, "If you need something just yell, I'll be next door in my room." Before the Brunette can close the door, Keith speaks up, "Wait- I want some company. The only people who have come so far were Shiro and Coran." Lance groans, way too dramatically, and walks back towards Keith. "Do you really want to spend time with your rival? Or maybe do you need me to shove you in a wormhole? I'm fine with doing that." He says with a large grin on his face. "Dumbass," Keith mumbles under his breath. "What was that? You want me to leave so I can actually use some of my free time?" Keith takes a spoonful of the soup and throws it at Lance, hitting him right on his forehead. "I said I wanted you to spend your free time with me, but whatever, you do you." Lance wipes away the soup and clenches his fists in a fit of anger. "I'll- Ill stick you in a wormhole one day Keith!" He yells before storming out of the room.
