Two weeks had passed and Keith would never admit it but he was disappointed that Lance hadn't ordered pizza again yet. I mean it was understandable, there were many restaurants in the area even a couple of other pizzerias, there was no reason that Lance had to order from them. He was mulling this over only half paying attention to his surroundings when he heard the computer ding indicating that they had gotten an online order decide he sighed and walked over to check the order and nearly yelped in excitement, Lance and his friends had ordered again and this time special instructions said "send Keith if he's working".
Keith quickly sent the order to the kitchen and stood anxiously at the counter. He checked Out his reflection in a spare napkin holder, did his hair look good, oh crap Was there something in his teeth, was there any way of making this uniform look less dorky. He was about to go to the bathroom to get a better look at himself in the mirror when Shiro stormed in from the dining room and let out a frustrated scream into his hand.
Keith's eyes flashed to the kitchen making sure they weren't done with Lance's order yet then turned to Shiro, "what's wrong, customer being annoying?"
"Olive bro is back and this time he's brought A date along I would have thought that would make his behavior better but know if anything he's worse"
"What, did he throw a hissy fit because we're out of meat lovers Supreme pizza"
"Well yes but he also Got mad when I brought over a seasoning caddy with oregano in it, apparently Herbs are for sissies and he keeps calling me bro like we're friends and, and you're not paying attention"
Keith's eyes snapped back from the kitchen, "Yeah, uhh repeat that last part"
Shiro glanced over at the computer and his eyes widened with realization his lips curling into an impish grin.
"Oh, I see mister ocean eyes has ordered again,"
"Oh, shut up Shiro"
"Oh, and he's requested you specifically how interesting"
"SHIRO!"
"you worried about messing up in front of your crush"
Keith's mood shifted suddenly oh, he had an in to this teasing now
"Speaking of Crushes, how's your cute delivery boy been doing"
"That's, that's completely irrelevant we were talking about you"
"C'mon bro, Adam broke up with you Ages ago you got to move on eventually"
"Stop Keith you don't understand"
"Then go talk to Adam, I know you have his contact information still, whatever you do just stop moping about it, and here I thought angst was supposed to be my thing"
Shiro was about to reply when the bell rang in the kitchen. Keith sprang to his feet, and making sure he got the right answer rushed to the bikes with a, "we'll talk about this later"
Lance was nervous, really nervous is he bounced on his heels staring out of the window in anticipation. He really hoped that Keith was working today. I mean maybe he was just covering a shift for someone, he had never seen Keith before and they had ordered from this pizza place A couple times Before 2 weeks ago. He should ask Keith about that if he shows up that is. Oh God what if he creeped Keith out by specifically requesting him was that kind of stalkerish oh he hadn't thought this through. No no deep breaths Lance deep breaths whatever happens will happen, relax.
He had thankfully managed to calm himself down by the time the doorbell rang and did his best to look nonchalant, leaning against the door frame with what he hoped was a confident smirk.
Thank God Keith was there when Lance opened the door and not the delivery lady with no sense of humor that they usually got from this Pizzeria.
"Hey"
"Hey, uh hi here's your food" Keith smiled sheepishly making Lance's stomach erupt in a flurry of particularly excitable butterflies, he didn't think it was possible but Keith was even cuter than he remembered him being.
Realizing he was staring Lance cleared his throat, "thank, thank you" he handed Keith his tip. " wait, why haven't I seen you before 2 weeks ago, I mean other than the cutest delivery boy thing, we've ordered from you guys like a few times I figured I probably would have seen you at least once, I don't think I could forget a face like yours" Lance winced inwardly "I don't think I could forget a face like yours" really and here he thought he left the cringy pickup lines in high school.
"Oh, I actually just started working this shift, coworker why did something earlier and I meant I got to Beyond shift with my brother who's the night manager"
"wait a minute are you going to tell me that your brother is Shiro. cool prosthetic arm, body like a Greek god, jawline that could cut glass, Heart stopping smile, that Shiro"
"um... Yes?" Keith Said, slightly taken aback.
"God course being gorgeous would run in the family, your guys's parents must have some top-notch genes"
"Oh I'm actually adopted"
"Oh, top oh crap sorry I mean I'm sorry about assuming is he is your biological brother rather not tNot abouBeing adopted thing cuz like dude there's nothing wrong with being adopted, obviously"
Keith cut him off" No no you couldn't it down just forget about it"
There was an awkward pause
"That wasn't the worst reaction I've ever gotten you'd be shocked at the amount of white people are suspicious because he and I" he air quoted" look so similar"
"dude I I get it how much do you know how many weird comments I've gotten about my appearance, one time somebody literally told me that I couldn't possibly be Hispanic cuz I have blue eyes, I'm Cuban, dude we come in every shade"
"isn't Cameron Diaz technically Hispanic"
"Well, half but yeah"
There was another Lull in the conversation Keith seems like he suddenly remembered something
"speaking of stupid questions are you, are you into men?"
"really man, All of my flirting didn't give it away I am A flaming bisexual, you?'
"gay"
"good, good"
"I should I should go, I'm on the clock after all"
"right oh, yeah see you soon"
" ya see you" Keith handed Lance the pizza and took Is tip then turned and walked back towards the delivery bike.
Lance watched him for a second before closing the door smiling like an idiot. He handed the food off to honk then plopped down on the couch with a sigh yep he was definitely not ordering from any other Pizzeria anytime soon.
