Shiro had ended up leaving with Adam sometime in the middle of the night. Which was honestly not the best idea.

"Mm my lips hurt." Lance whines.

"Awe poor baby." Keith teases.

"Shut."

"Hmm you want anything to eat?"

"Sure." Lance shrugs.

"Are chips okay? I can't really cook." Keith snorts.

"Mhm thats fine."

Keith gets out of bed and heads to the kitchen. He grabs a bag of chips and two water bottles before heading back to his room.

"Its oddly quiet in here." Keith mutters to himself as he closes his bedroom door.

"Huh?"

"Its quiet." Keith says again, sitting at the edge of his bed.

"Wanna watch a movie then?"

"I guess."

They turn on some random movie. Keith wasn't very interested in it, some weird romance movie. He never was one for romcoms.

Lance didn't seem interested either. He was just staring blankly at the screen and eating chips.

"Hey."

"Hi."

"Im bored." Keith whines.

"'m sorry." Lance mumbles.

"Why?"

"Cause you're bored."

"Mm its fine." Keith chuckles.

Lance presses a kiss to Keith's jaw.

"My thigh may not be sore anymore but you can still kiss it better." Lance teases.

"I- are you- are you sure?"

"Positive." Lance smiles.

"Lance I don't- I dont want you to feel as if we have to do these things. I don't want us to rush into things if you-"

Lance presses his lips to Keith's then pulls away.

"You saying these things shows me you care and you aren't going to leave me as soon as we get done. I trust that if I ask you to stop you will. I love you Keith, and I'm ready for this. You have my consent, do I have yours?"

Keith nods.

"I need you to say it." Lance laughs softly.

"Yes- Lance, yes you have my consent."

"Good." Lance smiles.

"Are we- Lance, are we going all the way?"

"If you want."

"Do you want to?"

Lance bites his bottom lip, cheeks flushing. He turns his face to avoid eye contact and nods.

"Dont be embarrassed- Lance I've been wanting to for a while." Keith mutters.

"R-really? Even though- even though my body is like-"

"Shut up. I don't care about that. I care about you, I love you."

"O-okay we uh- hah- we need protection."

"Shiro should have some."

"I'll be here."

Keith gets out of bed, heading to Shiro's room. He roots through the side table and finds a box of condoms. He chews on his lip, hoping they're the right size.
