Lance was freaking out, Keith was going to pick him up in less than an hour and he still didn't know what he was going to wear on this freaking date. He rifled frantically through his closet rejecting shirt after shirt, too casual, too casual, not casual enough, why the hell did he even still own this shirt, too casual, not casual - oh, god why was this so hard?

Ten minutes later he'd managed to pair his options down to two. Option one: a dark blue button-up with the sleeves cuffed at the elbows, nice jeans and dark brown leather loafers. Option two: a dark blue Star Wars t-shirt with a blue suit jacket and pants and blue Converse high tops.

Hunk.
He needed Hunk to make the final decision.

He knocked on the door to Hunk's room, both outfit options folded carefully over his arms. Hunk emerged from his room and seemed to know instantly what Lance needed.

"Hunk, my buddy, my man, my absolute favorite person in the world"

Hunk interrupted,"Lance, you don't have to butter me up to get me to choose an outfit for your date tonight. You're my best friend, of course I'm gonna do that for you. Just show me what you got."

Lance laid the two options down on hunk's bed and stepped back to let his friend take a look and consider both outfits.

"I'd go with the button up, the last time you wore that shirt the girl in the apartment next door wouldn't stop staring at you. I also overheard her saying something about how it apparently did things to your shoulders."

"Thanks bro!" Lance yelled while running to his bedroom to change and throw on a last-minute face mask.

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

Keith was practically pacing a hole in the floor of the living room, much to Shiro's annoyance.

"Are you absolutely sure about this outfit?"

"Yes Keith, you look great and I would know, I picked it out.

"Do you think I should get him flowers, or would that be weird?"

"Do you think he'd like flowers?"

"Yes."

"Then buy him flowers, or do I have to pick those out too?"

"Shiro, I'm being serious."

"Keith, relax. He clearly likes you. I mean, he did ask you to ask him out."

"What if it's a prank?"

"It's not a prank."

"How do you know for sure?"

"He wouldn't be keeping it up for so long if this is a prank."

"Yes but do you know that."

"KEITH!"

"Fine, fine, fine, whatever." Keith took a deep breath. "'m okay, I'm fine."

"Listen, Keith, if it somehow is a prank, witch it absolutely isn't by the way, then he's a jerk and not worth your time are your sadness, okay?"

"You sound like one of those stupid inspirational text posts mom and her friends post on Facebook."

Shiro laughed. "Hey at least you're not freaking out anymore."

"Yeah, thanks for the pep talk. I should go now if I want to get him flowers."

"Okay, text me when you're heading home."

"I will"

"If you're taking your motorcycle remember a helmet!"
