"Lance, stop fussing, we're going to be late," Keith said, anxiously standing by the door.
"We already know who we're giving the roses too," Lance replied, still trying to get his tie to look good.
"Well I'm not going to give you mine if you don't hurry up!"
"Alright, I'm coming, jeez." Lance held up his hands in surrender. Keith took his hand and began to walk out of the door, but Lance tugged him to a stop.
"God, what now-"
Lance pressed a soft kiss to his lips. Keith stared at him for a minute before allowing his narrowed eyes to soften.
"You look great," Lance hummed out, kissing him again. "And I was wondering if you wanted to stay in my room tonight?"
"Really? I thought you didn't want to do anything sexual."
"Staying with me doesn't mean sleeping with me Keith," Lance replied.
A deep blush cascaded over Keith's cheeks. "Oh, right." Then he tugged Lance out of the room.
Now, it would be wrong to say that Lance didn't want to do anything. After all, he was a rather stereotypical male when it came to being horny, but he also understood the importance of any type of sex. His mother has reinforced many times when he came of age that sex wasn't just a light thing. Sure it's fun and pleasurable but if you do it enough times, it tends to lose its value. Which is why, despite all the girlfriends he somehow managed to have back on Earth, he refrained from most sexual activity with them. He wasn't perfect.
Lance's mom had told him that sex was a physical, emotional, and mental bond between two people. In Lance's opinion, that was a rather religious view, but he understood what she meant. During sex, you were at your most vulnerable, which is why you should completely trust your partner in everything.
However, Lance was sure he was going to initiate something before the end of the next week.
Despite what he said to Keith just a week ago, his trust for the boy was already returned almost completely, which was both concerning and amazing.
But Keith promised him he wouldn't leave again, and Lance had every right to keep him to that.
"Ah, there they are," Bob said, grinning deviously at them. Lance knew what that meant. Bob was planning something. His grip on Keith's hand tightened defensively. Keith responded by giving it a gentle squeeze before letting go and moving to his spot.
Allura went first, giving her rose to Pidge, who was rather surprised and flattered (though they tried to hide it). And Keith was next, who, to no one's surprise, called up his boyfriend. Lance took the rose with a smile and embraced Keith happily.
"Get a room!" Pidge shouted when the couple kept hugging.
"Maybe we will!" Lance replied as they pulled away, sticking his tongue out at them, who returned the motion. Keith chuckled and walked back to his spot with Lance.
And then it came to Adam. He was dressed in a rather dashing tan suit with a dark brown vest and a white button up, as well as a light tan tie. His glasses were pushed up the bridge of his nose, and his hair was swooped up out of his face. He appeared calm, collected, at peace.
Lance understood why Shiro fell for him. Shiro needed someone like Adam to keep him stable. A soft spoken, gentle hearted, but firm person with a similar sense of humor.
"Shiro," Adam called out, and the other stepped forward. They shared a soft smile. "Will you accept this rose?"
"Of course," Shiro took the rose in his hand and pulled Adam in for a hug. "There's something I want to ask you as well." He stepped away from Adam and took in a breath before sinking to the ground on one knee.
