There's too much going on for me to try and do anything like...that.

like...what? it takes maybe 10 minutes to make out w/ someone.

[fIRST OF ALL LANCE you are not giving it your all if you're only making out for ten minutes OKAY ]

Ideally, I don't want to just do something for ten minutes.

oh. you wanna have like...a..."relationship" thing? you wouldn't be into like. smooching someone. just to see what would happen.

[ why is he having this conversation. there's a long pause between texts, but if he's telling lance he can talk to shiro, it's fair he returns the favor, shows he trusts him. this isn't super heavy, it's just...awkward. ]

I don't really know. Kissing someone is a bad idea either way, it's been -- years. It might be a disaster. Give me a Galra cruiser to dismantle instead.

[ he's mostly kidding about it being a disaster, but there's some small part of him that's serious. he's not the type to just kiss someone and never see them again, which means feelings need to be involved which means attachments, which means putting them in danger. he can't risk that. and also, it's been a really long time since he's kissed anyone. ]

wait u haven't kissed someone in years??? but ur HOT

[Well. That's a text he just sent. Wow.]

[laNCE ]

Yeah, on the Galra ship or, you know, on the mission there weren't a whole lot of people to kiss.

ughhhh u know what i meant! like i'm p. sure keith would totally make out w/ u. or allura.

or. other people.

Keith doesn't think about me like that, we're best friends. And the Princess is-- Well, she's the Princess. Don't worry, Lance. I've got other things to keep busy with.

um i said other ppl too okay.

u don't wanna kiss like

anyone

Lance, that's not a good idea.

uhhhhh i didn't ask if it was a good idea i asked if u WANTED to kiss any1

Yes. And all of us Paladins, Princess and Coran are not a good idea.

yes u wanna? who????

[ Hashing this out via text clearly isn't working because Lance is either bored or actually curious and Shiro was running out of ways to say that kissing literally anyone is a terrible idea without sounding too pathetic. This whole conversation is a trainwreck waiting to happen but he doesn't stop it. Maybe he should have.

The decision doesn't matter a few moments later, though, when he's knocking lightly at Lance's door, thumbing out another text. ]

Come on, if you've got time to speculate on my lack of a love life, you've got time to come eat with me.

[There's the sound of startled flailing, and a thud that suggests Lance has either dropped or flung his comm across the room. Then, slowly, he'll crack open the door and squint out at Shiro.]

...real food or space goo?

[ Oh, buddy. Shiro raises his eyes to the ceiling and leans against the doorway when it finally opens, a flicker of a smile on his face. ]

Unless someone managed to sneak real food on board, I think it's safe to assume space goo.

[Have a literal two-minute-long groaning sound.]

Not faaaaaair. [But then:] Fine. Okay. Where're the others? And why does talking about smooching make you hungry?

[ Shiro somehow survives it, waiting patiently until it's done and manages not to roll his eyes. What a miracle. ]

I'm not sure; I think Hunk and Pidge are working on something downstairs, and Keith was running training the last time I spoke to him.

[ A pause, and oh, well. He could lie but he's pretty sure it'd be really obvious. ]

It's a subject change.

[Lance frowns, pushing the door open a little more.]

Okay. I'll eat. If you tell me why you keep changing the subject.

[ That's not how this works, dude. Wryly, ]

Lunch is supposed to stop the interrogation.

So...you're asking me on a dinner date...so I'll stop asking you about who you wanna smang?

I - what?

[ Shiro blinks at him, not quite sure what to say right then and shakes his head after a moment. ]

Why does it matter?

Cause. Y'know. [He's slouching a little now, hands in his pockets, the tips of his ears slightly red.] I want you to be happy and stuff.

[ Shiro's smile softens, warms a little bit at Lance's rounded shoulders. ]

I appreciate it, I really do, Lance. I am happy, though.

[ And that's only a little bit a lie. For what they've got and with everything going on, he is happy with the team, how far they've come, everything, he's happy. He'd be happier if they didn't have to deal with the Galra, with planets being destroyed but that wasn't an option. ]
