"lance? buddy? you in there?" keith knocked, but got no response. "hello? alright, i'm coming in," he warned.

he opened the door and hit with a wave of noglestia. the entire room just smelled like healthy dirt, and the ocean's salt, and a tint of baking dough. he couldn't see lance anywhere in the room, but as he spotted the tossed clothes on the floor and the soothing sound of water hitting the floor, he assumed lance was in the shower. keith took a seat on his teammate's bed, sitting instead of standing while he waited.

it took a few minutes, and a few poorly sung spanish songs, but lance eventually stepped out of the small bathroom. the taller lad was thankful he wore a towel around his waist and didn't exit the room naked, as he normally does. his eyes found keith's, and he screamed. "what- what the hell are you doing?"

keith stood up, thinking this was a time to show seriousness. "i needed to talk to you."

a few moments of awkward silence passed before lance blurred out, "i'm sorry, i'm so sorry. i overreacted and i know it's selfish of me to want to be your favorite and i know i won't ever be. i'm sorry, i'm really sorry. i couldn't face you after i blew up in your face and i just, it was a problem between me and my mama back on earth and i just, it's a tough obstacle to over come for me. i'm really sorry. can you forgive me?"

keith was taken aback by this. he never, not once, expected lance to vent about something to only him, especially if it was sorta personal. "of course i'll forgive you. i actually came here to apologize, i thought i hurt your feelings." maybe keith was too harsh on lance. maybe, just maybe, he may be able to become closer than ever with lance, and cut him some slack. they're in the middle of a galactic war, not everyone holds up under the pressure for long. "plus, if you're interested, i think hunk made some cookies."

"oooh, count me in!"
