"Have you seen lance? He wasn't at breakfast or dinner," Shiro walked over to Keith who laid on the couch playing on his phone.

"He was at dinner?" Keith looked up confused.

"Dude dont say it like a question, where was your right arm?" He smacked the back of his brothers head unamused.

"I didn't have team training again just for you all to ditch each other after," Shiro scoffed going to grab an apple.

"Lance, Allura, Pidge and hunk are in the cabin, they've been bonding like crazy, Allura even let lance touch her hair," Keith sat up rubbing his head annoyed.

"Your kidding?" He blinked.

"I'll go in there now and see all of them hanging out," Keith groaned a little getting up.

"Do it, I'm going to be right," Shiro frowned sitting at the table biting his apple.

"I hate you, I'm going," Keith grabbed his shoes to go out the door. He mumbled to himself bout how Shiro was going to be sorry, that he and lance got close over the time he was gone so what could he know that Keith wouldn't have known. But there was that time keith left but it was shiros clone that stayed...

He knocked on the door and it opened.

"Oh hey Keith, what's up?" Hunk waved as he was sitting with Allura braiding her hair back.

"Just seeing how you all are doing, shiros on my ass bout getting us to do more team bonding, so I thought I'd ask the team," he shrugged as he closed the door behind him.

"The trust fall was so fun," Allura nodded with a smile.

"Not so fun when you're the one that had to catch someone that's almost twice your height," Pidge glared over at them.

"Romelle is only a tad taller than I?" Allura looked at them confused.

"Dude have you seen my noodle arms? I'm only 5 foot," she said flatly.

"Yet your so fast..." Allura raised a brow.

"So what do you wanna do the next time?" Keith asked crossing his arms.

"Where's lance?" He asked again looking around.

"I thought he was in the bathroom," hunk stated.

"No he's training?" Pidge frowned.

"I thought he was with his sister?" Allura raised a brow looking up.

"Hey I'm heading back to shower real quick, don't touch my phone," lance threatened as Ryan let his phone charge next to him on the bed.

"Why don't you just shower here?" Rizavi offered confused.

"I need my clothes back at my dorm," lance sighed grabbing his shoes.

"You can borrow my clothes?" Ryan looked at him gently.

"I don't want to seem clingy, and probably your teams sick of me taking up the space," lance laughed it off.

"If I thought you were clingy I wouldn't be offering my clothes," Ryan said flatly raising a brow at him like it was obvious.

"Save yourself the walk, just use our shower man, you spend enough time here to earn it," James waved him off. Lance laughed nervously waiting for them to say they were kidding so he could be sure to leave.

"If you don't want to that's fine too, it's just an option," Ryan told him with a small smile.

"I-uh.. okay then," he blushed setting his shoes back down. "But don't be mad if I judge your products,"

"The blue brand is mine so just use that instead of the other stuff, dont use my curl deep cream, it'll make your hair greasy looking, Griffin found out the hard way," Ryan nodded casually as lance went in the boys bathroom.

"The one that's says specifically for coily curly hair?" Lance popped back in the room after finding the product.

"I don't wanna talk about it," Griffin growled.

"I thought it was obvious, straight hair and all," he smiled before closing the door again.

They waited for lance to start the shower as everyone looked at Ryan.

"That's a big step for dating only two weeks," Ina said breaking the silence that the others were also thinking.

"Is it? I just thought it would make more sense?" Ryan blushed not realizing it was a step.

"I mean lance literally spends the night every other night, not that I care, dude has some tea to spill and I'm all for it," Rizavi grinned from her bunk.

"Did you know about iverson?" She whispered down to Ina.

She nodded and Rizavi squealed.

"Lance told me already," Ryan agreed.

"He's like totally one of us! I love him!" She giggled kicking her feet.

"So that's okay he's here so much? We can always go out more instead," Ryan pursed his lips.

"Stop worrying about it, if we have an issue we'll tell you, why would we hide if we disliked being surrounded by the relationship? You two barely changed since, there's just sleep over and more kissing, at least your not painfully flirting anymore," James rolled his eyes and the girls agreed.

"Plus now we have long conversations," he added. The girls agreed once more.

"If anything please get lance off of angry birds, I can hear him playing at 3 in the morning," Ina commented.

"Uh no.. that's me," Ryan mumbled embarrassed how he got hooked on such game.

"You've changed..." Griffin whispered wide eyes.

-

"No but that's exactly what I said!" Lance rolled his eyes as he played with rizavi's hair to braid it into two French braids for her.

"Then why the fuck didn't Rachel take the advice? Like you know the dude was bad and she knows now so like that doesn't make sense?" Rizavi made a face in disgust.

"I know I know, and guess who didn't listen? Am I in the wrong? No, she knows I sniff out red flags but ignored that one cause he could drive her? It was so stupid," lance stuck out his tongue but they heard a knock at the door.

"Come in," Griffin yawned a little as he was intrigued with the gossip.

Keith walked in and paused seeing Lance was with them looking comfortable.

"Oh hey man, what's up?" Lance smiled as he wrapped a hair tie at the ends of rizavi's hair.

"I've been looking for you? Hunk, Pidge and Allura said different things each when I asked," Keith looked at him suspiciously.

"He's been with us for a few days?" Griffin sat up. Keith noticed lances hair was wet and wearing clothes that didn't seem to fit him, bigger if anything.

"The team wasn't aware, please just let them know next time," Keith sighed nodding softly.

"Uh sorry but why?" Lance didn't understand.

"So they know where you are?" Keith said like it was obvious.

"Again, why? I haven't really snuck around them, I leave and they never asked me where I go or when I'm coming back?" Lance pursed his lips a little and Rizavi snapped her fingers nodding.

"Can I talk to you outside Lance?" He frowned now and the Paladin sighed nodding as he got up from the bunk and followed his own leader out the door.

"What the fuck was that?" Keith hissed. "I know we argue but acting up to be cool in front of your new friends is just plain dumb,"

"I'm not arguing, I'm just answering your questions," lance looking at him calmly.

"Why do I have to tell them if they don't even ask when I would be gone two nights in a row before?" He crossed his arms looking down.

"It's just common courtesy," Keith scoffed.

Lance laughed a little shaking his head. He didn't actually care that he was gone in the first place. Didn't ask why. Didn't say anything but to tell the others. He wanted to argue but he just was in defeat, there was no point. It was a stupid argument.

"Alright, I'll tell them when I spend the night here again, I just showered so if you wanna tell them since your heading that way it would be great," lance forced a smile catching Keith by surprise.

"Whatever, have fun with your new friends," Keith rolled his eyes.

"I mean I've been hanging out with them since we were out in the desert and knew Ryan for like a month before that too, it's not new friends when you've known them for over two months now," lance snorted. Keith didn't ask about him and Ryan dating so he doesn't get to know.

"Till they get sick of you too," Keith mumbled walking away but lance heard. He gulped a little watching Keith leaving him behind.

"Is everything okay?" The door opened behind him.

"Yea it's all good, nothing serious," lance smiled back at his boyfriend.

"I hope I didn't get you in trouble," Ryan whispered hoping Keith wasn't close by.

"Getting in trouble sounds fun," lance purred turning to wrap an arm around his shoulder.

"Youre dangerous," Ryan snorted shaking his head.

"You opened a can of worms you can't put back amor," lance whispered in a sing song voice making him laugh a little before pecking his lips.

"So are you going to finish the story with Rizavi? I wanna know how you found out he was a red flag," Ryan kissed him again.

"It was the shoes," lance hummed pulling him closer for a deeper kiss.

"I'm tired," he mumbled against his lips.

"Let's go to bed then," Ryan smiled kissing him again and again. They laughed pulling away before going back in the room, stealing one more kiss alone before they opened the door.
