Lance wakes up in cold sweat. He coughs and coughs. He really isn't feeling well. He sits up and groans. His head is spinning and he feels horrible. His whole body is shaking.

I should really get up and go get something to drink. Maybe that will cool me down? He thinks, while feeling his forehead. It was burning.

He throws the blankets away from his body and instantly regrets it. He's freezing. He runs to his closet and throws on his robe, and a warm pair of sweats, making him slightly warmer. At least enough to go to the kitchen without getting hypothermia.

As Lance walks through the halls, he slowly gained a little more control of his shaking. He's wobbling all over the place, at this point. He's tired, worn out and feels like he's going to pass out.

To his surprise, when he reaches the kitchen, the lights are on. And no other than Mullet himself is standing there, in a light grey t-shirt and sweats, holding a box of what looks like some space candy. When Keith notices Lance standing there, he quickly shoves the box somewhere in one of the drawers.

"Uh, Lance!? What are you doing up so late- er early?" Keith stammers, inching away from the scene. Lance gives one of his signature, sly, smiles. He's faking it of course. But he wants to make sure nobody worried about him.

"I don't know. What are you doing?" Lance responds, a small light cough erupting from his throat. Keith looks at him strangely. He seems to be scanning Lance. Lance is scared for a moment, and fights to control all of his shaking. Apparently it works.

"I was hungry? I guess. But seriously, what are you doing up this early in the morning?" He asks again.

"Getting some water. Duh," Lance walks over to the sink and grabs a glass, filling it up with water. "Anyways, what time is it?"

"It's about 3:45. Why? Did you not check the time when you woke up?" Keith questions. This time he has a mocking tone in his voice.

"No. Too tired," Lance responds nonchalant like. Keith scoffs.

"Of course, getting your beauty sleep?"

"Well, yeah. You don't just get this pretty with no sleep!"

"You can stop with the joking act when the rest aren't around, Lance. It's pretty obvious it's an act," Keith blurts. Lance whips his head around.

"Yeah, um, no. That's not an act," Lance states firmly. This hot head gets on his nerves sometimes. I mean, yeah. They're rival enemy thing was kind of made up when they first met. But for the past few months, they honestly haven't been getting along. At all.

"Sure it isn't. Keep telling yourself that, dummy," Keith says. Lance was getting mad.

"Take that back Mullet," Lance growls. Keith only smiles.

"No."

And that's when it started.

The two start yelling at each other, screaming insults. Things like stuff at the Garrison, bad habits, even back to the space candy. They both wanted to tear the other apart. The rest of the team, plus Allura and Coran, came rushing in to see what the commotion was, only to find two Paladins rolling over on each other, with murderous looks in they're eyes.
