heh, let's get to it !
________________

"I swearrrr, it's always too cold in here!" Lance pouted, cuddling up onto Hunk. "Coran, what's up with the a.c??" He whined.

Coran blinked at him, cluelessly. " A...C? "

Lance stared at him. "Ughhh, nevermindd." He groaned, before throwing a lanky leg onto Keith's lap. "Keittthhh, go get me a blanket, will you?" He batted his eyelashes playfully.

Keith glared at him, slowly pushing his leg off. "Use those long ass legs of yours to carry yourself and get one, lazy."

Lance frowned. "Rude." He stood, " I don't want your help anyway. " he stuck out his tongue and walked off towards the main hallway of the castle, leaving his friends snickering.

Except Keith, who rolled his eyes. "So childish...if he doesn't grow up-"

"Let him live a little, hm, Keith? It's not easy for any of us up here, if that's how he copes, that's how he copes."

Pidge smiled. "Yes, only Lance copes through dramatic exits."

"Don't forget being fashionably late. " Hunk added with a chuckle.

"Don't forget being a pain in my ass." Keith said.

" Hey, leave him alone." Shiro said, though he was smiling. "Besides, we should all be getting to sleep. I know time isn't the same here, but I'm sure it's pretty late and we just had a big mission..."

" Which is exactly why we should chillax and play a game as a big ol' family!! " Lance's voice echoed through the crystal walls as he appeared in the entrance of the large "family room", as he liked to call it.

" I'm not apart of this family, if he is. " Keith muttered.

"Oh, and who's childish?" Pidge smirked.

" But it's late-" Shiro tried.

"Aha! I love games!" Coran burst out. "Back in my prime, I was the chap to beat! Always ahead of the herd, if you know what I mean."

" Sorry Coran, I'm not following. " Hunk said sadly.

"I'm up for a game." Allura said sweetly. "Not exactly tired anyway."

"Wonderful." Lance grinned at her. " What should we play? "

"Would you rather!" Pidge said, looking up at him. "Ooh, wait no, truth or dare!"

Coran and Allura frowned. " Truth or dare? "

"Those bring back memories." Hunk smiled nostalgically.

" Yeah, I used to play all the time with my cousins. " Lance said, the sadness tinging his words like paper dipped in thick ink.

"Do I have to?" Keith asked. "I think I'm just gonna sleep, I want to train early tomorrow."

Lance rolled his eyes. "That's all that matters to you, training, training, training."

" Yeah, glad we're on the same page. " Keith said, standing to go.

"Keith-" Shiro stopped him, grabbing his wrist. "If I have to stay, so do you."

Keith stared into Shiro's sad attempt of puppy dog eyes. He wasn't deterred, but if anyone could make him stay, it was Shiro.

"Whatever." He yanked his arm away, before jumping the long altean couch, and sitting.

" Can someone please explain to Coran and I this game? " Allura smiled. "Sorry, we just never had this in Altea."

" Don't apologize. " Pidge said. "Lance, explain."

Lance smirked, sliding up next to Allura, talking a mile a minute.

Once the game was explained, and Coran was already stroking his mustache with ideas of diabolical dares, everyone huddled together, except Keith, who refrained from the warm breathe and giggles.

"So, who's first?" Shiro started.

"Me of course." Lance said, grinning, and turning to Allura. " Truth or dare? "

"Oh..me?" She grimaced. " Okay, uh. Truth! "

Lance smiled, a dash of sparkle in his eye. "Is there anyone on the ship you uh, fancy~"

"Oh my goddd." Pidge fell out against Hunk, facepalming. "It's not you. "

"Shh, let him try." Hunk whispered.

Allura pondered for a moment. "Not that I can think of, no. Though, my mice do dazzle me considerably! They are very charming creatures!"

Lance pouted, defeated, as Hunk patted his back.

"My turnn," Pidge then said, looking around.

Her eyes landed on Shiro.

"Heyy," she said, devilishly.

" H-hi, Pidge-" He said, concerned.

"Shiro, truth or dare?"

He tapped his fingers against his knee. "Truth."

" Alrighty. " She readjusted her glasses. "What's your full name?"

Shiro's face turned dark. "No."

Pidge laughed. " Oh, wow. Such a nice name. "

"I don't have to answer that question."

" Oh, I think you do. " She shrugged. "Tell the truth. Name of the game."

" Ok, dare. "

Pidge frowned. "Smooth. But, I dare you to tell us your full name."

Lance smiled. "I like where this is going."

" I don't. " Shiro said, crossing his arms.

"It's Takashi Kuron Shirogane."

All eyes turned to Keith, as he shrugged at them. "This game is taking too long."

" Keith! " Shiro's eyes bulged. "Why-"

"TAKASHIII, I LOVE IT." Pidge yelped. "Can we call you that instead??"

Shiro frowned. "No, that uh, that name's reserved..."

" Reserved? Like a parking spot? " Lance asked.

"I very much enjoy that name." Coran smiled. " Shi-ro-ga-ne. "

"Yes, me too." Allura smiled. " It's so cute! "

"I've never heard Kuron before." Hunk pondered.

Shiro blushed. "Okay, okay, enough with my name, alright?"

" Yeah, yeah, sorry. " Pidge said. "But it's all good. We like the name! What were you scared of?"

Shiro chuckled nervously. "I wasn't scared, just... Some things I like to be left unsaid."

" Oh, my bad then. " Pidge frowned. "I'm sorry."

Keith watched them from his spot, silently.

"No, no it's okay!" Shiro smiled. " I'm fine, really. You all deserve to know more about me, anyways. So, thank you. "

"Of course."

" My turn? " Hunk asked then, pointing a thumb at himself. Everyone nodded, somewhat.

"Alright, since we're doing full names, what's everyone's? "

"You can't ask everyone. That's not how the game works." Keith said, annoyed.

"Oh, I can't?" Hunk asked. " Oops-" he chuckled. "Alright, then... Coran- what's yours?"

Coran smiled brightly. "Ah! I feel honored to be asked." His colorful eyes glowed as he rose to his feet. "Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe, at your service." He bowed eloquently, his flexibility showing in the range.

" Heh, I'll stick to Coran-" Pidge said.

"Four names?" Lance asked. " Like when you're married? "

"What-" Keith asked.

Lance turned to him. "Well my Mama kept her middle name, so she had four-"

"Wow," Allura smiled up at Coran. " It's been such a long time since I've heard your full name. "

He chuckled. "You weren't even a thought when I was named, Princess."

" Certainly beats mine. " Shiro laughed.

Everyone smiled at that, and then Allura decided it was her turn.

"Keith." She addressed the loner. " Truth or dare?"

He curled his legs up to his chest, frowning. "Do I have to-"

"Yes. Participate." Lance said, glaring at him.

" And since you answered Shiro's truth for him, you can be the one to ask us after Allura. " Pidge added, smiling.

Keith groaned at them. "Whatever. Dare."

" Oohhh. " Allura smiled. "Finally!"

"This is gonna be interesting." Lance said.

" Yes, it will. " Allura said. "Because since the two of you can't seem to get along, the dare will involve both of you!!"

" WHAT?! " Lance screeched, as Keith's jaw dropped.

"But he doesn't get along with anyone, why am I punished?" Lance asked.

" Don't act like that, Lance. " Allura smiled sweetly. "Besides, it might help you two become better friends."

" We're great friends already. " Keith lied, "Give me someone else. Please."

Coran smiled. "Well this is just jolly, isn't it! Exuberant entertainment."

Lance grasped at his hair. "Princess, the anticipation is killing me. What's the dare??"

She pouted playfully, "Oh but I thought you loved dramatic effect?"

He rolled his eyes. "Hah. Hah."

She chuckled, shaking her head. "Ok, I dare you, Keith, to let Lance do your hair."

" What?! No-" The boys yelped in unison. Hunk and Pidge chuckled.

"Listen, listen." Allura smiled. " Method to madness, right? Lance, you always say how bad you miss your sisters, and braiding their hair-"

Lance's frown turned upside down. "Aww, you remembered that?"

" Yes, of course! " She smiled back. "Well, Keith has the perfect hair to braid! Plus, he always complains about the ponytail not being enough security when he's training. Sooooo," she smiled between them.

"I love the idea." Shiro smiled at her. "On top of that, it's a great way for you two to get over your hatred of each other. "

Keith averted his eyes. "I- I don't hate Lance."

" Wonderful! " Allura smirked. "So go get in his lap."

" I don't like this. " Lance said. "I mean like, really. Please, Princess, can I do your hair instead?"

Allura chuckled carelessly, running her hands through her own gorgeous hair. "Oh, I can handle mine, thank you." she winked.

Lance gawked at her smile, causing him to not see Keith plop heavily in between his legs.

"Ew wait-" Lance drew up his legs fast. " I wasn't ready-"

"I'm not happy about it either." Keith frowned, crossing his legs, and pulling out his hair tie. " Hurry up. "

Lance began to uncoil his legs, and unscrunch his nose. "Don't think ima make you pretty, mullet."

"I'm already pretty." Keith said quietly, as Lance let his fingers run through Keith's tangled locks.

"What do you even do with this?" Lance asked, tearing through Keith's scalp. " Rake it? "

"Ow- ow!" Keith swatted at Lance's fingers. " I do better than you are right now! "

"Oh, shut it, I'm experienced."

" It's my scalp, you're clawing. "

"Stop complaining you two." Pidge laughed. " Now, Keith who are you asking? "

"You, you evil little-"

"Hey, hey. Play nice." Shiro said, smirking from his place next to Coran.

Allura smiled down at her creation.

"Truth or dare, Pidge?"

" Dare. " Pidge said, excited.

"Hm, alright." He stared uncomfortably at the floor as he thought, his head getting yanked side to side by Lance's hands, though his fingers were soft.

" I dare you to run around the room for the rest of the game. "

Pidge laughed. "What-"

"Yep."

Her smile disappeared. "Wait seriously? That's so stupid though-"

"Then you should enjoy it."

" Wha-" she frowned. "You know I hate running!"

Keith smiled at her. "That I do know."

" You're so evil. " she stood, her little legs peeking.

"I learn from the best."

She started jogging lightly around the perimeter of the room, making sure to glare daggers at Keith every time she passed him.

Meanwhile, it was Coran's turn.

"Hunk, my boy, truth or dare?" 

Hunk's smile widened. "Aw, I'm your boy?" 

"Why, of course, my boy!"

" Awww! "

"Heh, Hunk, answer-" Allura laughed, sidling up next to him.

"Right, right." He bit his cheek. "Dare."

Coran nodded. " I was hoping you'd say that! I dare you to not cook with food goo all week. "

Hunk turned pale. "But- but there's nothing else to cook with-"

"Presicley, my boy! No cooking for a week will open your mind to other ways to spend your time here around the castle!"

" But, I don't like training-" He pouted.

"Me either." Pidge said, wheezing her way around the room.

" There are other things! " Shiro said enthusiastically. "You could spend a day with Coran and Allura and learn more about the castle's controls."

Hunk shrugged. "Yeah, I guess."

" Don't be so down, my boy. " Coran said. "This is going to be a good mental exercise for you!"

Hunk smiled a little. "I always did like mental excersises better than physical."

" That's the spirit! "

"This is great and all," Keith started. " But, who's going to cook for us? " He said with a wince, as Lance finished detangling his hair, and started to braid.

"I'll cook." Shiro said proudly. " It's been a while, but... " He looked down at his hands. Adam always said he enjoyed my cooking...

"I'll join you." Allura said. " You could teach me a little about earth food. " 

"What I can with food goo, sure." He laughed.

" Alright, " Pidge wheezed, resting against Allura. "Can I stop now-"

"Nope." Keith said. " I said all game. If I have to endure this torture, so do you. "

Pidge rolled her eyes, before starting to jog again.

"Well then, to cease her pain," Shiro chuckled. " I'll finish up the game. I'm last to ask anyway right? " Everyone nodded. 

"And if I'm correct, Lance is the final player to be asked." Coran said, nodding to Lance.

" So Lance, truth or dare? " Shiro asked. Lance was deep in concentration with Keith's intricate braid.

"Uh, truth." He said slowly, clearly not paying any attention to anyone else. He was close to finishing the beautiful french braid anyway.

"Okay, sure." Shiro said, nodding his head this way and that, as if to a beat only he could hear. "I don't know, worst fear?"

Silence ensued, accompanying Pidge's heavy breathing.

"It's stupid." Lance said with a nervous laugh under his breathe. He began to quicken his pace with the braid. "And, kinda embarrassing."

" As embarrassing as Coran's full name? " Keith said. "I doubt it."

Lance chuckled at that. "Guess not." He then pulled one last strand of hair into Keith's braid.

" All done. "

Keith laid his fingers delicately over his hair, taking his sweet old time feeling around.

"For fuck's sake." Lance said, grabbing Keith's hand and placing it onto the braid. 

" Oh. " Keith said. "It feels nice." The hair was out of his face now, training would be a lot easier.

He turned around to Lance. "Thanks."

Lance smiled. "Welcome." Then he took a good look at Keith. " Wow, you have a forehead? " He tapped the pale skin.

Keith recoiled. "Dude, the fu-"

"Awww, Keith you look good!" Hunk said with a smile.

" It suits you. " Shiro said, Coran nodding along.

"Wasn't so bad, huh?" Allura smiled.

Keith and Lance glanced at each other.

"No, I guess not." Keith said, sitting next to Lance.

" This is inspiring and all-" Wheeze "But can Lance answer the question so I can," Wheeze " Stop running? " Pidge asked.

Lance nodded. "Right, right." He bit his lip, shaking his head.

"My um, worst fear is being alone." He glanced around at them. " Like in the end of it all. The final dance and all that, heh-" He frowned.

"When I die."

Everyone turned to him, curious.

"I try really hard to make everyone like me, but yeah, I'm real scared I won't be enough, and when the big curtain closes," he added dramatic flair, " I'll be the only one on stage. "

Nobody really knew what to say to that. But Pidge stopped running.

"Lance, you can mess up all you want" She said with short breathes, and a small smile. "I'll be there."

Hunk placed a hand on Lance's shoulder. "And me."

" Me too. " Allura said.

Shiro and Coran joined in, and soon everyone was hugging Lance, promising to be there for him, always.

"Aww, guys. Don't be so sappy. You're reminding me of my family." Lance said, his voice starting to crack.

Allura squeezed tighter, and Pidge tousled his hair.

"That's cause we're a family now." Shiro said, smiling.

Lance felt his heart slow a little. They couldn't replace his family back home, of course. No one could.

Ever.

But they were a family.

A team.

"And we will be," Keith said. "Until the curtain closes."
