Cute Little Rocks

Secrets..

Everyone has secrets.

Hunk wears curlers to bed every night. That's a secret.

Allura sings in the shower.

Pidge doesn't really understand their gender at the moment.

Shiro wants a dog.

Coran had a crush on Alfor.

Keith and Lance... they were a slightly different story.

It was no secret that Keith and Lance liked eachother. Lance may have constantly flirted with girls, but they all saw the soft look in the Cuban's eyes when looking at Keith.
Keith was always antisocial, a hermit. But everyone knew he had a huge crush on the Blue Paladin.

"Paladins, we have come across a peaceful planet. You have been over-worked this week and me and Shiro believe you should have a rest. You are free to do whatever you wish on this planet." Allura says, with a kind tone.
"So, we can do anything?" asks Pidge, curiously.
"Yes!" Coran exclaims, a little too enthusiastically.

The ship lands and the Paladins all rush to the door. Except for Shiro and Keith, who were probably the most mature of the five of them.

"Woah! Lance, Keith. Look at these little pretty rocks!" Hunk says, in awe.

He reads the sign that describes them.
"It says they're like... mood rocks? Oh! Here, if you rub it on a certain part of your body, it'll glow a certain colour. For example, if you rub it on your wrists, it tells you your sexuality."

Lance rolls his eyes, unconvinced. "Are you sure, dude? Sounds kinda weird to me."

"Just try it!" Hunk says, with a tinge of determination in his voice.

"Fine." Lance says, grabbing a rock and rubbing it against his wrist. It glowed pink, purple and blue. The Bi flag colours

"So... Bi, huh?" Hunk says, with a smirk.

"Pff! It's just a.. malfunction! They probably don't work." Lance exclaims, embarrassed that his secret got out.
"Keith! What about yours?" Lance says, quickly changing the subject.

Keith held the glowing stone behind his back. It glowed the same colour as a pride flag. A rainbow.

"GAY?! YOU'RE... WHAT?!" Lance sputters, confused.

"Haha.. Haaaa... yeahhh... uh... Surprise?" Keith drags out. His voice cracks on the last word.

Lance was blushing furiously, as well as Keith.
"I.. uh.. If it makes you feel better... I'm bi?"

"Cool... Thats coooool. Cool beans. Radica-" Keith says, anxiously.
"You can stop now." Lance says, laughing.

They look around them. Hunk had disappeared, leaving the two boys to resolve the issue.

"Keith... Can I... uh... god..." Lance says.

"Spit it out, man." Keith says.

"CAN I KISS YOU?!" Lance yells. He slaps his hands over his mouth, mortified that he yelled it so loud.

"Uh... yeah... Yeah! You can!" Keith says, with hidden excitement.

Lance leans in, slowly. Keith copies. He cups Keith's face with his left hand, closing his eyes. He suddenly closes the gap between them. The kiss started off slow and sweet, but quickly turned into a rough one.

Keith and Lance had secrets.
They were gay for eachother.

- Meanwhile -

Pidge watched from the roof of a stall, updating the team through the comms.
"Shiro, you owe me $20." Pidge says, smirking.
