We Had A Bonding Moment

6.Bonding Day 1: Part 2

Keith

" Keith, truth or dare," Lance had asked him. Lance had a grin on his face, not just any grin but his signature 'shit eating grin'. Of course I knew that what was going on behind it must not be too nice but I mean it can't be that bad. It's Lance not Pidge's diabolical plan.

" Dare," with that, a look of sheer happiness spread on Lance's face, and the spark had come back to his ocean blue eyes. I wished he would show it more often.

" Yes! Okay, I dare you to let me braid your mullet and you can't take it out till the end of the game," he was practically beaming by now.

My eyes widened as he said this. I looked around to see Pidge, Hunk, and Shiro smiling at me, probably imagining how this would end up.

" Okay. Fine. I'll let you braid my hair, but no pictures." I said the end being directed to Pidge.

Lance got up and sat behind me. Him on the couch and me on the floor sitting in front of him. I was visibly stiff, sitting straight up and my shoulders tensed. I felt Lances warm hands on my shoulder and he began to massage them.

" You need to chill; its not like I'm going to kill you, " he said and I relaxed.

He began to comb his fingers through my hair. It felt so nice and relaxing and his hands were so warm. the others watched intently for some reason. Then, he split my hair into 3 parts and started braiding it into a French braid.

After he finished He handed me a mirror that was conveniently nearby. It looked surprisingly nice. But my mind kept trailing back to the feeling of his long, slender finger weaving through my hair and I almost missed it.

Lance

Keith's hair was surprisingly soft and very easy to untangle. I saw him visibly relax and lean into my touch making me blush slightly. He reminded me of a kitty. I French braided his hair and handed him a mirror. I was proud of my work. He looked at me with a very amusing face. he looked pretty like a princess of some sort. The rest of the group saw admired it too

(Keith with his braid is so cute at the top)

The rest of the night passed with Hunk cooking , the group watching movies and talking. Halfway through watching our third movie everyone but Keith and I had fallen asleep. we were sitting next to each other on the couch and Keith's hair was still in the braid.

My  eyelids began to get heavy and I felt myself drift to sleep.

Keith 

I felt some weight on my shoulder and looked to see Lance falling asleep on my shoulder. I observed him carefully; his sharp jaw, long eyelashes, ski-jump nose, and slightly open lips. His hair had fallen over his forehead and on my shoulder. He looked so peaceful and relaxed. He looked beautiful. Lance nuzzled his face into the nape of my neck making my cheeks burn. "Goodnight Lance." I whispered softly, I wrapped my arm around his waist and rested my head on his and drifted off into sleep.
