p style="text-align: center;"Keith and Lance were both homesick, even if Keith didn't have a family, me missed emearth /emitself. Life had become a routine, stay at the ship, wake up at 7 am, train, eat breakfast, fight the galra, shower, go to bed, wake up at 7 and so on. They were both tired, things were too calm and they wanted something different for once. As if god themself had heard their thoughts, the next day was pretty uneventful, and even though there wasn't a emreason /emto be up early that morning, Keith thought he would train anyways. Lance slept in, taking advantage of the free time. Everyone else did the same except for Shiro. /p
p style="text-align: center;"5 emhours /eminto Keith's training Lance wakes up. With a facemask on he decides to see where all this screaming and groaning was coming from. He opens the doors to find Keith, training with the train bots and Shiro helping./p
p style="text-align: center;""Good Morni-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""Not now lance can't you see we're in the middle of something here!"/p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance was a little taken aback, Shiro has never talked to him in that tone before, he decides to joke. "ha woah, are you kuron right now? because you're being a little-" he doesn't even get to finish before Keith groans out the next words./p
p style="text-align: center;""LANCE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING GODDAMMIT"/p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance isn't so shocked at that one, Lance knew Keith didn't have a liking for him. He decides it's best if he leaves and thinks it's time to wash the face mask of anyways. After he washes his face mask he decides to go annoy someone else so he isn't bored out of his fucking mind. Hunk is his first choice as he is his best bud :). Unfortunately, as he's about to go to Hunk's room, he's nowhere to be found. Lance decides to look around and sees Hunk with Pidge helping Coran with something he couldn't be any less interested in./p
p style="text-align: center;"Hunk catches a glimpse of him and decides to call out./p
p style="text-align: center;""Lance! you're finally up" /p
p style="text-align: center;""yep"/p
p style="text-align: center;""how'd you sleep?", a question Hunk never forgot to ask, it always made Lance feel more important, like he was still loved./p
p style="text-align: center;""Fine..." lance clears his throat "uh,, you?"/p
p style="text-align: center;""I slept great! especially since we didn't have to be up at the ass crack of dawn!"/p
p style="text-align: center;""YEAH! what's up with that?"br /"well- I couldn't find the princess this morning." Coran lets out a sigh./p
p style="text-align: center;""what?" emwhere could the princess have gone? surely not too far away right? did Shiro know where she was at? /emLance debated going to ask Shiro if he knew, but after the occurrence earlier, he felt he shouldn't./p
p style="text-align: center;"Just as Lance finishes his thoughts, Keith and Shiro walk into the room, Lance does everything he can to avoid contact with either of them./p
p style="text-align: center;""what's this about the princess missing? did I hear that right?"br /"yes, she was gone when I went to look for her this morning, thinking she'd be back I didn't alarm the team" Coran answers Shiro./p
p style="text-align: center;""Coran" Shiro pauses," you should've told us regardless" He massages his temples, as the leader he has to take care of everyone, but sometimes the job is tiring. /p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance leaves the room, to relieve himself from the stressful tension in the room. "man I need a bath, or I emcould /emcheck out that pool Coran told me about the other day". Lance gets his pool towel and shorts ready as he heads to the pool, he sees Keith in the hallway with Shiro and decides to listen as to not interrupt. /p
p style="text-align: center;""You were a little hard on Lance this morning, you didn't have to scream, maybe you should apolo-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""no. I'm not apologizing to him, he interrupted our training, plus I doubt he wants me talking to him after that"/p
p style="text-align: center;""Maybe, but you're a team Keith, you have to work through your problems, not around them" Shiro sighs, "just promise me you'll at least try?"/p
p style="text-align: center;""maybe."br /With that Lance hears Shiro and Keith come closer to the corner he was hiding behind, they see him, as he wasn't hard to miss./p
p style="text-align: center;"''Lance! were you listening to our conver-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""Ididntmeantoisweariwasjustgoingtothepoolandgotlostbutdidntwanttointerrupt-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""woah Lance, hey slow down, no one is judging you for it, right Keith?"/p
p style="text-align: center;""yeah. whatever"br /Shiro looks at Keith unaprovingly after that shit excuse for making up and whispers in Keith's ear that he should use this moment to apologize./p
p style="text-align: center;""fine" Keith groans out, "Lance, imsorry" he says in the tiniest voice imaginable/p
p style="text-align: center;""it's fine, don't worry! plus emI /emwas the one that interrupted emyou/em."/p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance hates the awkward tension and leaves for the pool./p
p style="text-align: center;""the pool is the other- lemme take you there"br /"you don't have to-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""Lance I'm offering to take you, which doesn't happen often. You're also lost so-"br /"fine :"/p
p style="text-align: center;"Keith guides Lance to the emaltean /empool, that should be more emphasized as the pool was no regular pool and was upside down./p
p style="text-align: center;""I'm sorry, this is it?"/p
p style="text-align: center;""yep."/p
p style="text-align: center;""do we have an anti-gravity button? because if not I have no idea how else-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""yeah, I know, I gave up on it a while ago when i first checked it out, I had had a long day of training and wanted a relaxing swim to soothe my muscles."/p
p style="text-align: center;""damn well- now I feel bad for making yo-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""you didn't emmake /emme do anything, I emoffered,/em don't stress it."/p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance still couldn't help but feel bad, Keith was already in a bad mood, then he had to lead him to a meaningless pool. Lance thinks of how stupid he looks and bursts out laughing./p
p style="text-align: center;""...do I have something on my face?"/p
p style="text-align: center;""no it's just-" Lance lets out a chuckle, "I just can't imagine how stupid I look right now, you were already in a bad mood and then I come over in this embarrassing outfit, to a pool that's meaningless"/p
p style="text-align: center;""Lance you don't emlook /emstupid, I offered to bring you to try to make up for earlier today when I-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""screamed at me? yeah don't sweat it, I know I ruined a pretty heated training session and-"br /"That doesn't excuse the way I responded to you, I shouldn't have went off when you were just waking up, my temper is such shit, fuck."/p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance chuckles, "Really, emdon't /emworry, it's not anything I'm not used to."/p
p style="text-align: center;"emNot anything he's not used to?/em/p
p style="text-align: center;"As if Lance had read his mind he responds, "back at home me and my siblings argue all the time, sometimes resorting into fights... maybe that's why I'm so homesick? maybe I miss the chaos aspect of it?", feeling as if he's said too much Lance's face quickly flushes into a dark red, his complexion not doing a very well job at hiding it. Then it hit him, Keith didn't even have a family back home. emfuck. /em"SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO-"/p
p style="text-align: center;"Keith was confused. "what?"/p
p style="text-align: center;""it's just that I was blabbering about my family back home and you, well you don't have-"/p
p style="text-align: center;""it's fine..."/p
p style="text-align: center;""oh okay, well I still feel bad for talking nonstop :/"/p
p style="text-align: center;""at this point Lance? I'm used to it."/p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance wants so badly to escape the tension he created. They were still at the pool and Lance still only had shorts on./p

p style="text-align: center;"embr /emLance sees Keith leave and realizes he has no idea how to get back to his room./p
p style="text-align: center;""Keith! wait up" Lance sighs, why of all times must he be stuck with him now?br /Keith kind of ignores Lance, not really acknowledging him and just keeps walking. He didn't guide Lance to his room though, he went to the training deck instead.

p style="text-align: center;"Interrupting his thoughts was Coran scolding Allura for leaving without permission. The usual "that was very irresponsible of you, princess" and "don't do that again, thank the heavens you're safe" being recited over and over by Coran./p
p style="text-align: center;"Lance walks into the kitchen, where everyone was gathered and greets Allura./p
