The paladins had started laying down blankets on the shore, planting umbrellas down into the sand, putting baskets down onto the ground and making conversation. Today was the 4th of July, America's Independence Day.

Basically just fireworks and food.

The sky was just turning into a mixture of colors, including orange and pink. The sun was starting to set as the waves started to calm, occasionally crashing and making splashing noises.

Everyone had come to a conclusion to land on a foreign planet that had similar properties to Earth. It was almost a replica and it especially made the paladins feel at home.

"So, when do we eat?" Pidge asked, laying crisscrossed on her blanket.

"In a bit, don't be impatient." Shiro responded, also sitting crisscrossed with an apple juice box in his hands. Because he's 6.

"No offense, happy independence to America but like, some people are starving here." Lance quickly intervened, clearly hungry and very impatient.

"Just because you say 'No offense' doesn't make it automatically not offensive. Just a side note to anyone out there." Shiro gave Lance a lecture being the spacedad he was. Yes the Shiro I'm writing is the REAL Shiro smh.

"Guys why don't we just like drop the subject and have a conversation not about food. Speaking of which, I made special fourth of july cookies!" Hunk opened the baskets, which stored the cookies handing the basket around.

"Thank you, Hunk! How thoughtful of you!" Allura smiled, thanking him while taking a cookie. So did everyone else. Hunks cooking skills were better than Gordon Ramsey.

"Babe you want one?" Lance offered Matt a cookie.

"Sure."

The couple shared their own spot on the replica beach, sitting down together as they talk and take in the view. "Matt? I have a random question to ask you. Is that alright?"

"Yeah what's up?" Matt replied back, taking a bite out of the cookie.

"So uh.. where were you this season? Like nobody saw you."

"I was taking a break."

"Fair enough."

After that, there was a comfortable silence between the two, also this is canon since a wattpad writer wrote it. Anywho, the couple shared their fair share of jokes, talking about the things they'd do whenever they get back to Earth.

"Hi, hello? 911? I'd like to report someone being so cute like it's illegal." Lance casually said before Matt playfully slapped his arm.

"Ohmygod. Stop. I swear you're always like this."

"Too bad I'm not as cute as you are." Lance knowingly said, hoping Matt would make a romantic comeback.

"That is so sad, Alexa play despacito."

"And there goes the moment. Good job, Matt. You ruined it." Lance cracked a smile though, literally Matt was perfect in his eyes. Like Matt was such a literal soulmate for him?

"God we're both the literal definition of cringe. Or no, maybe just me. I wonder why the author makes us become living shitposts like every chapter. Can they not make ONE serious chapter?"

"Wait a minute, Matt? How are we supposed to celebrate if we don't have fireworks."

"Oh. I forgot about that. Im sure Pidge made something, she's pretty smart."

"Yeah you're probably right." Lance sat next to Matt, leaning against him placing his head on his shoulder. "I love you."

"I know you told me that like fifty times on our way here." Matt answered back.

"Well damn, sorry for loving you."

"Dude I was kidding."

"I know." They both looked at each other, a smile on each of their faces. The couple closed their eyes, slowly leaning in until

B A M

Both of them jumped back and their eyes shot open, really taken by surprise. They looked around to see Pidge and Hunk laughing, covered in sand and a little bit of ash. Allura and Shiro laughing along with them as well, which all seemed like a failed attempt to make fireworks.

"I'm guessing she tried to make DIY fireworks." Lance confidently said.

"More likely, I wouldn't be surprised. Hey, at least she tried." Matt quickly defended his sister and couldn't help but to laugh.

"Fireworks or no fireworks though, I'd call this day a success!" Lance exclaimed, he seemed to be really happy at this moment.

"Yeah you're right. I'd call this date a success myself." Matt looked over at Lance who quickly blushed and replied to him by giving Matt a peck on the lips.

Because gay.

That's it.

Take it.

A/N: I actually forgot they were on a different planet and like, nobody else is there so I was like: wAIT HOW WOULDTHEY MAKE FIREWORKS OR SEE THEM AGXKDHDISJ.
