A Kidgemas Story

First Day of Kidgemas

::Kiss the Girl::

"Are they doing anything yet?" Lance asked, not daring to turn around to peer over the back of the booth he and Hunk were sitting in. Across from them were Shiro and Allura, who had tagged along once they heard what was going on.

Allura raised up slightly to try and get a better look at the pair in the corner booth and then quickly ducked back down. "Nothing so far. I think they're just talking."

"Ugh, boring," Lance grumbled. "What kind of date are they on? Where's the charm? The romance?"

"It's their first date. Give them time," Shiro said.

Lance sulked for a moment, sinking low in his seat and reaching out to steal one of Hunk's fries. His boyfriend sighed and pushed the basket closer to him, admitting defeat.

"I think it's sweet. It reminds me of our first date," Allura said, reaching over and lacing her fingers together with Shiro.

Lance groaned again, a little louder than before, and his friends quickly hushed him.

"They'll hear you!" Hunk hissed.

Lance rolled his eyes. "Oh, it's fine. They're too busy talking." He swiped another fry and slowly munched on it. "Maybe... maybe it's the mood. The atmosphere. Oh!" He sat up, his blue eyes alight with excitement. He held an open hand out toward Hunk. "Coin me, babe!"

Hunk raised an eyebrow. "Uh, what?"

"Coin me!" Lance repeated, wiggling his fingers. "I need it for the jukebox! If we play romantic music, that'll fix everything!"

"I don't have any quarters. We spent them all at the arcade last weekend," Hunk said.

Lance wasn't going to be defeated so easily. "Then I'll just have to serenade them myself!" He cleared his throat and opened his mouth to let out the first warbled note of song, which was when Shiro practically jumped across the table to put his hand over the younger man's mouth, preventing him from singing.

"Nope. Not doing that."

Allura and Hunk laughed at the spectacle they made. Allura got so caught up in watching them that she almost missed the way Pidge smile softly and reached across the table for Keith's hands, never one breaking eye contact.

"Aww," she cooed.

Lance pried Shiro's hand away from his mouth. "What is it? What's happening?"

Shiro risked a look for himself before settling back on his side of the table. "They're holding hands."

"Is that it?" Lance asked, his expression falling. "I thought they were actually doing something."

"Just what is it that you want them to do? This is Keith and Pidge we're talking about. Holding hands in public is more PDA than I expected to see from them," Shiro said.

"I dunno. Is a kiss too much to ask for?" Lance asked.

Hunk gently nudged his boyfriend as he went for a french fry. "This isn't a Disney movie, you know. You can't just play a cheesy love song and boom! they're in love."

"Out of curiosity, what song were you going to play for them?" Allura asked.

Lance's cheeks reddened slightly as he replied: "They have a couple of Disney songs on the jukebox, so I was going to pick Kiss the Girl."
