A day late, but here we go


"So are we doing teams for this?" Hunk asked as he adjusted the winter hat on his head.

"We could," Shiro said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Or just have no teams."

"Where's the fun in that?" Pidge asked with a roll of her eyes. Lance nodded in agreement from where he and Keith were leaning against a tree.

"Teams is way more fun," Lance said with a smile.

"Teams it is then," Allura said with a smile.

"But how do we decide who is on what team?" Matt asked, his head tilting in confusion.

"I have an idea," Shay said as she started to dig through her backpack, pulling out popsicle sticks and a sharpie.


The teams were made. It was Shiro, Lance, Shay, and Hunk on one team and Keith, Allura, Matt, and Pidge on the other. Adam had backed out of playing and would be posing as the referee of the snowball fight.

"Ready?" Adam called out from the other side of the "borders" they had set up. The group got into a stance, prepared to make snowballs and throw them at each other. "Go!"

The fight had gone on for about an hour and a half now. Hunk, Shay, Allura, Shiro, and Matt we're out. It was just Lance against Keith and Pidge. Until.

"You're out Pidge!" Adam called out as he saw Pidge get hit in the shoulder by Lance's snowball. Pidge groaned and headed off and stood beside Allura.

"Just you and me now Babe," Lance said with a smirk in his face.

"For now," Keith said as he waited for Adam to tell them the next round would start.

"Winner of this round wins the game," Adam said as Shiro wrapped an arm around his waist. "Ready"

"You're going down Babe," Lance said with a smirk.

"We'll see," Keith said with a smile.

"Go!"

Before Keith could even bend down to form a snowball, he was dodging the one Lance thrown at him. Keith ducked behind a tree and started to make snowballs to throw.

"Can't hide behind that tree forever Babe," Lance said as he tossed a snowball in his hand up and down.

"Not planning to," Keith said as he darted from behind the tree and threw snowballs at his boyfriend, who dodged each one.

The fight continued for ten minutes straight. Both Lance and Keith making and dodging snowballs. Keith ducked behind the tree again and took a quick breather while he made some more snowballs.

Keith ran out from behind the tree, ready to throw the snowballs he had. However, before he could Lance struck. Though Lance had misjudged the height of his throw and Keith soon found himself lying on the snow covered ground.

"Keith!" The group called out and quickly ran to his side. Adam, having some medical history, kneeled beside Keith and started inspecting him. Lance kneeled by Keith's other side, worry as guilt evident on his face.

Keith groaned as he came to. His head hurt from when it had hit the ground as he fell, his right eye wouldn't open, but his left eyes would.

"Keith can you hear me?" Adam asked as he brushed the snow off Keith's right eye, that remained closed as his left eye opened. "Can you open your right eye?" Adam asked. Keith tried to but only managed a little bit.

"Kind of," Keith replied with a small shrug of his shoulders.

"I'm so sorry Keith," Lance said as he grabbed Keith's hand and squeezed it gently.

"It's fine, it was an accident," Keith said as he squeezes Lance's hand back and gave a small smile.

"We're lucky it was just a snowball and not something worse," Adam said as he pulled back and stood up. "We should take him home and deal with it there," Adam said.

"I'll carry him, it's just up the street," Lance said as he started to stand up, pulling Keith's form into his arms bridal style.

"I think our snowball fight is done for the day," Shiro said as Lance started to walk off.

"Text us about it later," Matt said as everyone started to head back home.

"Will do," Shiro said as he grabbed Adam's hand and followed after Lance.


Shiro opened the door and allowed Lance to walk in first. Krolia walking up in concern seeing Keith in Lance's arms.

"What happened?" she asked as Lance laid Keith down on the couch.

"Snowball fight, Lance accidentally hit Keith in the eye with one," Shiro said as Adam headed into the kitchen.

"Honey are you alright?" Krolia asked as she sat by Keith's feet and took off his boots.

"I'm fine Mom, just my eye hurts a little," Keith said with a small smile as Adam walked back in with one of the freezer ice packs in his hands.

"Hold this lightly against your eye, it should heal within a few days," Adam said as he handed the ice pack to Keith who did as he was told.

"I'm really sorry again Keith I-" before Lance could continue, Keith grabbed the front of his jacket and pulled him close, their lips colliding in a kiss.

"Seriously, shut up," Keith said with a smile on his face. Despite the pain he was in, Keith managed to smile and act like nothing has happened, which took a huge weight of Lance's guilt shoulders.

"I love you," Lance said with a smile.

"I love you to."
