A/N: Look at what I decided to continue! XD If you don't know what a kola is, I suggest reading Koala Keith first.
Takes place between seasons seven and eight.
To Lance's credit, his fellow paladins were also staring. Luckily, he had been too shocked to make a noise, as his squeal would have been very hard to pretend it hadn't happened.
Allura was the first to compose herself. She cleared her throat, making Shiro blink and look away. Pidge coughed and elbowed Hunk, who coughed back. All the coughing made Lance blink back to the present. Taking his eyes from the absurd sight, he glanced over to Keith. He had to clamp a hand to his mouth and force a cough to hide his laugh.
Keith was livid. His face was turning as red as his armor, scar pale and standing out. He was shaking and his hands flexed like he was itching to summon his bayard.
Lance couldn't blame him. He turned his attention to the video screen that held the source of everyone's shock and -in Keith's case, at least- fury.
Kolivan stood in his usual attention posture for his monthly report on the progress of hunting down space pirates and the like. He had his mask on, which was unusual. What was even more unusual, however, was the arms slung over his shoulder and linked under his chin. The arms belonged to Krolia, whose chin rested on Kolivan's shoulder. Her eyes were closed, relaxed as she slept.
Krolia was kolaing.
"Is there something wrong?" Kolivan asked as the silence stretched out.
"Not at all." Shiro glanced at the paladins, then had to duck his head to hide a grin at Keith's expression. "Please⦠proceed with your report."
Kolivan nodded slightly and began. Lance didn't hear a word as he watched Keith's face change to an interesting shade of puce.
Well, if Keith had somehow remained oblivious to Kolivan and Krolia's feelings for each other before, there wouldn't be any avoiding it now.
Lance made a mental note to be at the landing pad when Kolivan and Krolia returned
A/N: I had someone ask if they could use kolaing in their stories as well. And I say, feel free! Just keep in mind that, as a rule, kolaing is not romantic in nature.
