    Summary

    “What’s the fun in a masquerade if you don’t flirt outrageously with the prettiest person in the room?” the young man says flippantly, and then winks at Keith. Keith huffs a laugh, amused.

    “You keep saying things like that, but you haven’t seen my face,” he says, gesturing to his mask. “I could have warts under here. I could have spots, or scars.”

    “You’d be lovely even with all of those,” the young man says, and he suddenly sounds serious. It takes Keith by surprise, makes his heart twist along with his stomach. “Your eyes,” he continues, tilting his head. “I’ve never seen eyes like yours before.”

    Summary

    “What the fuck? What are you doing?”

    “Well, I was about to do your eyeliner, but then you decided you wanted to hold hands instead.”

    Keith lets out a soft, indignant sound. “I’m not letting you get a pointed object near my eyes.”

    Lance huffs. “Just shut up and trust me, okay?”

    Keith just stares hard at him for a moment. His eyes are near-black, and dark enough that Lance can’t tell if they’re a warm galra purple or brown. Finally, Keith sighs and unwraps his fingers from Lance’s hand. “I already trust you.”

    Summary

    Lance swallows. He tries to refocus his attention on the slight prickling of his wound instead of the proximity of Keith’s face.

    “Y’know. The suit. It doesn’t look like you ever get out of it. What do you wear to bed when you’re at the base, anyway? Some purple Marmorian jammies with little blades printed on them?”

    Keith pulls a face. “What does my outfit when I go to bed there have to do with anything?”

    “Holy quiznak!” Lance barks out a laugh. “You totally go to sleep in the suit, don’t you?”

    “What? No—I—Lance, shut up!”

    Summary

    That’s it? What an understatement. What a ground-shaking, life-altering understatement. What kind of reckless idiot can just say something like that with so much tangible certainty?

    Keith’s expression slowly softens as he watches Lance struggle. An amused tick curls at the corner of his mouth and he leans back comfortably in the chair by the bed, seemingly relaxed now that he had unloaded all of his thoughts in one fell swoop. He’s unaffected by his own words as all else and Lance can’t help but wonder how long he’s been holding onto them.

    Summary

    “I like you,” Lance says in a rush.

    Keith blinks.

    “That is—” Lance clears his throat, shifting his weight uncomfortably. His hands are still in his pockets, his shoulders still hunched. “I like you—I like-like you. Like, in a more-than-friends-way like you.”

    For a long moment Keith can only stare at him, astonishment and disbelief and cautious delight warring for dominance. And then, because he’s an idiot, because he spent a whole goddamn year in a goddamn shack in the middle of the goddamn desert and has no idea how to be a socially competent person, because he’s Keith, he says, “That was a lot of the word ‘like’ in one sentence.”

    In which Keith has about a dozen chances at happiness, and sabotages (nearly) all of them.
