Shiro had ended up driving Lance home, an extremely awkward ride at that.

"Uhh- thanks?" Lance gives an awkward smile.

"Yep.." Shiro mutters, not making eye contact.

Lance steps out of the car and rushes to Marco's apartment. He slams the front door closed behind him and winces. Running wasn't a wise idea.

His hips hurt like a bitch.

"Where have you been?" Calliope gasps.

"Keith's?" Lance wheezes.

"We've tried calling you! I thought you were coming home after your- what the hell is on your neck?!" Marco trails off, shouting the last part.

"I- uhh- would you believe me if I said I'm having an allergic reaction?" Lance laughs nervously.

"Cal' can you give us a moment?" Marco sighs.

"Yeah, I'll be in the room." She smiles, exiting the living room.

Lance takes a seat on the couch and bounces his leg.

"Please tell me you didn't." Marco mutters.

"And if I did?"

"Lance, please just- tell me you didn't."

"I did! Okay?"

"Did you- god- did you use protection?"

"Of course I did!"

"Oh thank God. Keith didnt force you did he?"

"No! God- no, Marco!"

Marco lets out a breath of relief.

"I'll- Lance is this going to be a regular thing? Should I get you things?"

"I-I dont know?"

"I- uh I'll get things just in case then." Marco sighs.

"Can I go to bed now?"

"I suppose."

Keith got tore into.

"Keith what the hell?!" Shiro shouts, slamming the front door.

"What?" Keith huffs, arms crossed over his chest.

"You're only 17! What the hell were you thinking?! Lance can get pregnant- you- urrh! Keith I can't with you!" Shiro shouts.

"We used a condom."

"Thats not enough! What if there was a hole? What it I broke? Keith, you cant rush head first into these things!"

"You do it." Keith mumbles.

"I am an adult! You aren't, Keith."

"Im at the legal age of consent, and I'll be 18 in a month then I can get out of your hair. You care about yourself and thats all!"

"I- I care about myself? I ONLY CARE ABOUT MYSELF?! Keith I didnt have to fucking take you in! I didn't have to let you live here! I didnt have to drop out of college and take up 3 jobs to cover the bills! AND I CARE ONLY ABOUT MYSELF?!" Shiro scoffs, anger showing in his body language and face.

"Why are we even talking about this? Weren't you just grilling me about sex?"

"You're the one who turned it into this. I'll get Lance the morning after pill and you'll take it to him tomorrow then you march your ass home and you are grounded!" Shiro growls, shoving passed Keith. He heads to his room and slams the door.

Keith sighs, heading to his room.
