Don't Come Down// Klance

We Are Thousands of Feet From the Ground

Keith and Aurora stumbled out onto the roof, laughing hysterical and drawing the attention of Pidge, Lance and Hunk. Aurora spotted them immediately and hushed Keith, though she was still giggling herself. Aurora leaned into Keith and whispered something into his ear and Keith seemed to be disagreeing with her but Aurora took his hand anyways and dragged Keith towards the trio. Lance huffed at the sight of them holding hands and tried to focus back in on Pidge and the incoherent sentences that were flying across her computer screen.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Aurora asked, coming to a stop near them. A breeze rushed past them and Hunk caught a whiff of something he couldn't quite place but Lance could. It was the smell of marijuana. Aurora and Keith were high off their asses right now.

"I'm talking to my brother." Pidge said nonchalantly, typing out a message on the screen that made no sense to anyone but her. Aurora laughed a little.

"You mean your brother up in space? On Kerberos? Is that allowed?" Pidge glanced over her shoulder at Aurora and smiled.

"No but, what the Garrison doesn't know won't hurt them." Aurora laughed as Keith shifted a bit uncomfortably next to her.

"You know, I always thought your brother was kind of cute." Aurora admits. "He's like got these adorable cheeks and a nice laugh." Pidge starts to laugh at Aurora's shameless confession while Lance's jaw drops slightly and his heart skips a beat. Aurora was into Matt Holt and Carter Kane? Was she just into older guys?

"You think my brothers cute? He's a giant fucking dork."

"Yeah, I thought most girls would like Shiro better." Hunk said. Aurora rolled her eyes.

"Not me. Shiro's cool and all but, I'm kind of into big dorks. Your brother was like this teachers assistant for one of my classes as a cadet and I loved going to that class because he was there." Pidge was typing away at her computer.

"Is it okay if I tell him that? He's going to flip that a pretty girl thinks he's cute while he's like thousands of miles away in space." Pidge says with a laugh but Lance doesn't see what's so funny. He kind of wished Aurora would stop talking about Matt.

"Type away my young friend, and tell him my name. Let's see if he remembers me." She drops down on the ground next to Pidge, even though she can't read what she's typing and Hunk tries to start a conversation with Keith.

"What were you two coming up here for?" Hunk says as Keith runs a hand through his dark hair.

"Oh Uhh... Just to look at the stars, Parker is going to come up in a little bit to join us I think." Keith says anxiously, looking back at the door for the roof access. He's kind of praying that Parker will make an appearance right now because he's feeling a little nervous now that Aurora has left his side. Or that could just be the marijuana talking. Or the fact that Lance was just five feet away and the two of them hadn't spoken in a couple of days. Pidge let's out a loud laugh, hitting her knee as she reads out Matt's reply to her message.

"What'd he say? What'd he say?" Aurora asks excitedly, shaking Pidge's arm.

"He said, Aurora De la Cruz! I know her! I remember when she was a junior cadet. She's super pretty. We both know Lenny. Wait, don't tell her I said she's pretty it's embarrassing talking through my baby sister. Sorry Matt, you're just so lame I had to tell them." Pidge says, grinning at her computer. Aurora smiles back happily.

"Tell him thank you." She says, standing up and shaking out her blue hair. "I can't believe he knows Lenny though, my god I want to talk to him about that."

"Whose Lenny?" Lance asked, finding an opportunity to jump into the conversation.

"Oh he's uh.." Aurora clears her throat, trying not to laugh. "He's a nice guy. Really sweet. He gives me candy sometimes." Keith snickers off to her right and Aurora flips him off. Pidge types out a reply, specifically telling her brother that she read the whole message out loud.
