"Hey, Keith! What are you doing in here?" Lance walked into the observatory, a bounce in his step. Only a few days had passed since Keith got out of the pod.
Keith looked up at Lance from where he was sitting, "Nothing much. What has you so excited?"
Lance plopped down next to him, "Coran gave me this weird pink stuff and I think it was space coffee."
"Oh god," Keith rolled his eyes, "That is the absolute last thing you need. You're annoying enough as it is," Lance pouted but Keith spoke again before Lance could reply, "I was just joking."
Lance's expression changed to a smile, "I know."
"Do you? It seemed like I upset you."
Lance just shrugged.
Keith sighed, "So, what are you doing here?"
"We're in a really pretty solar system and I wanted to look. You never told me why you're here."
"Same reason, I guess."
"You guess?"
Keith shrugged, "I come here when I have stuff on my mind."
Lance frowned, "What's bothering you?"
Keith smiled at him, "Nothing, don't worry about it."
Lance pouted, "You could've just said you don't want to talk about it. You don't have to lie and say it's nothing. Obviously, it's something."
"I'm sorry, I just keep making you upset. Go back to being hyper."
"I thought that was annoying."
"And I thought you knew I was joking."
Lance just looked away, "I know I'm annoying, okay? You don't have to tell me that."
Keith didn't know what to say to that. But he had to say something, "Lance-"
"Don't bother, Keith. I know you meant that one."
"I didn't! I really didn't! I... I thought it was cute."
Lance looked back at him, "What?"
Keith blushed a bit, looking down, "When you're all energetic like that it's cute..."
Lance smiled, "So I'm not annoying?"
Keith chuckled, looking back up, "Only sometimes."
Lance was able to tell that was a joke, "So are you, asshole."
"Yeah, I know," Keith leaned back a bit, "I guess we have more in common than we thought."
Lance laid down fully, looking out at the stars, "Yeah, we do."
Keith took a deep breath, "You were what I was thinking about."
Lance looked over at him, "What do you mean?"
"I told you I come in here when I stuff on my mind. This time it was you?"
Lance smiled, "What did I do worth thinking about?"
"I just..." Keith looked down, "I think about you a lot..."
Lance sat up again, "Why? I'm not that interesting."
Keith chuckled, still looking down, "You're really interesting. There's no one else like you."
"No one else as idiotic."
Keith looked back up, "Stop doing that."
"Doing what?"
"You know what. You're always making negative remarks about yourself like no one will notice. Maybe we didn't notice before. But I sure as hell notice now."
