I learned it from the pizza man

I didn't think they actually do it

It was movie night, a weekly ritual born out of love of pop culture and lack of money, Pidge, Hunk, and Lance had spent many an hour watching geeky movies and binging on cheap food.

Today, Lance was in charge of ordering.

"So what are you guys want, this guy from my stats class was saying that there is a Halal truck that delivers"

"Pizza, obviously," Pidge said not even bothering to look up from the TV as she sorted through Netflix deciding which movie to watch.

Hunk poked his head in from the kitchen where he was preparing the snacks " Again? Dude I'm all for pizza but we've had it for like the last 5 movie nights, maybe we could try this Mexican place my cooking club goes to sometimes it's pretty cheap and they make the best tortillas you've ever had I tried to get the recipe Like 5 times but they won't bite. "

"Hey, Pizza is a staple of college life it's cheap, tasty, and has carbs to help you temporarily forget about your impending lifetime of student loans debt." Pidge paused, "Go America"

Lance laughed, pulling up the online menu of a local pizza place, "Hard to argue with that."

They end up ordering a large pepperoni pizza, a large garden salad( Hunk's insistence," I've seen the way you eat Pidge you need to eat more vegetables") and two orders of garlic knots, they weren't as good as his mamá's but they would do.

He was just about to click the order button when something caught his eye.

Special instructions, interesting, he could work with this.

He peered over the edge of his laptop to where Hunk and Pidge were arguing about the merits of pineapple on pizza and, happy that his friends were distracted and therefore couldn't tease him about it, typed "Send your cutest delivery boy."

=============================================

Shiro nearly laughed out loud what he saw the special instructions, "Send your cutest delivery boy." This would be a nice change of pace when he decided to swap work stories with his friends. Most of his stories started with something like that frat bro who cussed out because there was half an olive on the side of his buffalo chicken pizza slice. Apparently, olives were for " Chicks and gay dudes", if only he knew."

"Hey Keith, would you describe yourself as cute?"

"Cuter than you, that's for sure."

"Hey, that's uncalled for," Shiro said pretending to be offended before wrapping his arm around Keith's head and giving him a half-hearted noogie.

"Why were you asking by the way?"

"Read the special instructions before you deliver it, you'll see."

And with that Shiro sent Keith on his merry way.

=============================================================

The doorbell rang and Lance practically lept out of his seat, nearly kicking Pidge in the head in the process.

"Jesus fuck, what's got you so riled up" she shouted hand rubbing the place on her head where Lance's foot had nearly missed making contact.

"Nothing, I'm just excited for pizza and the doorbell startled me, that's all," Lance said laughing awkwardly" before rushing off to grab the food.

" Well okay then, crazy."

" Pidge be nice."

"He nearly kicked me in the head I'll be as mean as I want to be."

Lance didn't catch Hunk's response though because he'd open the door and holy shit had the pizza place delivered. The delivery boy was a tall and kind of skinny but muscular Asian kid with longish silky shiny black hair, smooth pale skin and the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen he couldn't place whether they were blue or gray if he tilted his head a certain way he could have sworn they were violet.

It's a good 10 seconds before either of them says anything

"Wow I didn't think that they actually do it"

" What?" oh god even his voice was hot

"Send their actual cutest delivery boy."

The delivery boy blushed and something did a flip in Lance's stomach. He tried his best to ignore the feeling, this guy might not even be into men. Then again he hadn't been shut down yet and if a little harmless flirting if this is all he could get out of this pinnacle of human perfection then so be it.

=====================================================

Keith didn't really think about what Shiro had said till he stepped off the delivery bicycle, he figured if it had been interesting enough for him to point out it must be worth taking a look.

"Send your cutest delivery boy"

Great, it was probably some giggly teenage girl at some dumb slumber party or a creepy middle-aged woman who would continue to flirt even after he told her that he was gay.

The address was one of those apartment complexes where the ground floor apartments open directly onto the street. He found apartment 1B and took a deep breath stealing himself to whatever was on the opposite side of the door.

The door opened and he flashed his best fake retail smile, Preparing to hand the customer the order but froze upon looking up, that wasn't a teenage girl, oh no it was a boy, a cute boy, a really cute boy. He had broad shoulders and long, slim but muscular limbs, (probably a swimmer) lovely tan skin, wavy chocolate brown hair and The bluest eyes he'd ever seen. Keith was suddenly hyper-aware of how dorky his uniform was.

Was the lovely stranger the one who ordered the pizza? He could have just been a brother or a roommate or something picking it up because whoever had left those instructions couldn't come to the door, this could all be just some stupid prank. He knew not to fall for straight boys, it was like gay 101 no matter how pretty the boy was.

His swirling thoughts were interrupted by the customer,

"I didn't think they'd actually do it"

"What?"

"Send their actual cutest delivery boy"

Okay, so cute customer was the one who left the instructions and was apparently Into men( well probably, still could be a prank)

The customer cocks his head pointing to Keith's messy hair,

"What happened there?" he said and smiled in a way that made Keith's heart race.

"Oh, I had to fight off all the other delivery boys for the honor of delivering your pizza."

"My brave hero."

They both laughed and Keith opened his mouth to respond before being jolted out of the moment by a voice from inside of the apartment.

"Lance, quit trying to seduce the Pizza Boy."

The custo .. Lance clears his throat before finally taking the pizza and handing him a tip

"Well," Lance's eyes flicked to his name tag "Keith, I hope we can continue this conversation the next time you deliver our pizza"

" Sure sounds cool," he said nonchalantly, trying to hide how flustered he was. Honestly if it .meant he'd get to see Lance again, he'd never complain about that stupid name tag ever again.
