Lance sat on a table in Pidge's lab, fiddling idly with one of her smaller gadgets.

The lions all rested in their pen. Cloade lay with Pelae draped over him. Spirit curled around Faune, Shade not far off with Adaoe.

The blue paladin smiled softly once his gaze landed on Mistah and Ajthine. The larger lioness lay on her back, paws above her head and tail curled with the white lioness'. Mistah lay on her side, her front leg stretched over Ajthine's neck and her forehead pressed into Ajthine's cheek.

He chuckled at the display, not looking behind him as the doors opened.

"What are you doing up so late? Even Pidge and Shiro are in bed."

Lance shrugged, glancing over as Keith sat on the table beside him. "Just can't sleep. I came here to clear my mind is all."

Keith hummed, looking to the lions. Lance kept his gaze on Keith. "Isn't it weird how our lions are together?"

"Mmhm."

"Same with Spirit and Faune. Well, they've been together longer than human history, so..."

Lance chuckled, leaning closer to Keith. "Yeah..."

Keith turned back to Lance, leaning back slightly. "What are you doing?" He asked softly.

The blue paladin hummed, glancing down to Keith's parted lips. "I don't know..."

Keith gripped the edge of the table, gulping, but not leaning farther away. Keith closed his eyes, holding his breath. Lance placed his hand over Keith's, their lips so close.

Once their lips touched, Keith released all the air from his lungs.

Lance blinked, Keith's face getting a brighter red by the second.

"Oh my God!" Keith shouted, slapping his hands over his mouth. Lance snorted, then burst out laughing. "This isn't funny! Lance, stop!"

The lions groaned and shifted, the ruckus waking a few of them.

"Y-you just- oh my- Keith!" Lance couldn't form a sentence properly as he clutched his stomach, hunched over laughing at his fellow paladin. The lions that were woken looked up to figure out why exactly the blue paladin was so hysterical while the red paladin was completely flustered and embarrassed.

"Shut up, asshole! This isn't funny at all!"

Lance shook as he laughed, rocking over, then leaning on Keith. "That-that was hilarious, Keith!"

Cloade perked up, ears flicking as he gained more interest.

Keith glared at the floor, but didn't push Lance off. "I hate you."

Lance calmed down, humming. "No...you don't..." He peeked up at Keith with a smile. Keith turned away. Lance chuckled and sat up straight. "Hey..."

"What?" Keith bit out, getting ready to just leave.

The blue paladin reached, took Keith's chin into his fingers and gently turned him back. He pressed his lips to Keith's, shocking the red paladin still. Lance pulled away and looked into Keith's eyes.

Slowly, Keith melted, eyes closing. Lance leaned back in, their lips meeting more easily.

"Wasn't so bad, was it?" Lance mused as they broke apart.

Keith was absolutely adorable with a faint blush in his cheeks as he turned away bashfully. "It was nice..."

Cloade meowed happily, tail flicking. Lance laughed. "Oh, hush, lion." Cloade chuffed amusedly, claws kneading into the padding.
