“Order for Kevin!”

An annoyed sigh had Lance grinning.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” the man cursed, voice low enough that only Lance could hear him because of the soft murmuring and shuffling of the other customers in the shop. He rolled his eyes as he stalked up to the counter. “It’s Keith. Like I’ve told you a thousand fucking times.”

Lance pushed the cup—black coffee, gross—toward him and smiled brightly, “Have a great day, Kevin!”

Syrup and Honey by starlightment (5/5 | 61,097 | Mature)

When Lance moves back home to take over his grandmother’s highly-acclaimed coffee shop, he quickly realizes there’s a bigger issue than the struggle of carrying out his family legacy. Namely, his annoyingly handsome ex-boyfriend, who also happens to own the rowdy, customer-stealing gastropub that just opened up next door. Lance is determined to taste sweet success, but with memories of his romantic past making an unfortunate comeback, it seems like there might be more than just coffee brewing between them.

Horoscopes and Coffees by vrepit_nah (1/1 | 4,612 | Teen and Up)

Keith meets him at the coffee shop for the first time and ends up taking a special spot in Keith's heart.

But something else is going on that confuses Keith. Maybe it's witchcraft or magic, because it both terrifies and comforts him that his horoscope relates to him on a personal level. Every single day.

“I’ll admit, we weren’t expecting you,” Kolivan says. “Did we miss a transmission from Voltron?”

“No,” Lance says, “and I don’t want you to tell them I’m here, either,” he adds quickly.

Kolivan’s eyes narrow. “They don’t know you’re here,” he concludes.

“And I’d like to keep it that way. I want to join the Blade of Marmora.”

After months of feeling unappreciated and ignored, Lance decides he's sick of it. Not even Keith realizes the new Blade is Lance.

“You’re such an ass.”

Lance stares at him, dumbfounded. “Huh?”

“You’re not allowed to say that unless I can say it back,” Keith snaps.

“What—” Lance blinks. Then he realizes just what Keith is talking about and he falters, letting out a long, slow breath. “Oh,” he says softly.

“Yeah,” Keith responds sharply, but his voice wavers and he huffs. “Oh.”

Wait... is it Code Red or Code Blue? by bakaa_usagi, jipjops (11/11 | 69,391 | Teen and Up)

“Oh, alright, thanks doc.” Keith paused, one foot out of the door before turning to face Lance again. “Just Keith is fine, and uh, you’re welcome.”

secret admirer tag

Born with Two Right Feet by 2towels (1/1 | 3,535 | General)

The mail included cards from his sister's latest photography retreat in Spain, two bills, a few scattered pamphlets from fashion subscriptions Lance continuously begged for coupons for, and, at the bottom of the pile, a single folded up piece of paper. Curious, Lance set the rest of the mail onto a counter as he reached the kitchen and flipped the top fold of the paper upwards, stilling as soon as he registered the contents. The bottom flap fell open accordingly.

In a sloppy line, sections of letters were cut out from magazines and pasted into a series. An honest-to-god magazine letter. I saw you this morning, it read, your shirt looked good on you.

Lance starts receiving mysterious messages, written in a murderous style.

Penny For Your Thoughts by SherbetLemon (1/1 | 4,560 | General)

At a London Coffeehouse in the 18th century, Keith is a writer for the local newspaper. He takes tip-offs from the public in the form of scrolled up paper in a lion's jaw. Only, today, he gets more than he's bargained for.

Getting to his feet, Keith cleared his throat, ready to read their latest tip-off. Then his breath fell short. This wasn’t? He couldn’t? Keith’s cheeks flamed. The quiet around him suddenly became achingly so as he processed what he was supposed to be reading aloud.

Dearest Keith, your words are as fine as that behind you so gracefully hide beneath the tail of your handsome silken coat. From afar, my admiration will eternally shine. X

“So?” Shiro urged, leaning closer, “what does it say?”

Here are some short and sweet Valentine’s Day fics! - Jen

Say You'll Be Mine by shimcko (1/1 | 2,747 | General)

Lance has a hard time remembering his perfect confession to Keith for Valentine's day, so he makes himself a trusty backup plan.

You stared at my lips and I could already feel your kiss by nerdbeyondlimits (1/1 | 3,773 | General)

Lance drew in a deep breath. Now was the time. This was it, now was the time. He was going to bring up a hand to Keith's shoulder, tell him that he wanted to show him something and then they would walk to the star deck, where Lance would finally make his confession. His hand landed on Keith's shoulder. He was going to tell him, now, now, now...

Alternatively:Allura and Coran wants to cheer up the paladins and accidentally choose to arrange Valentine's day.

Straight as a Rainbow by Vypera (1/1 | 6,749 | General)

“Actually, Shiro and I had an idea last night; how about we invite everyone to celebrate pride month with us next Sunday?”

Keith raised an eyebrow. “Who exactly is ‘everyone?’ ”

“Everyone who wants to come,” Shiro smiled. “I know, we usually only celebrate with just the three of us but I thought it would be nice to invite our friends too. If you don’t want to-“

“I don’t mind,” Keith shrugged, unsuccessfully trying to hide his rising excitement. Celebrating pride month with not only his family but his friends and his long-time crush too? Bad idea, but Keith couldn’t deny the little stumble of his heart. It had been a while since he’d last seen Lance and he really wanted to hear his voice again, to see his stunning smile and laugh with him over silly jokes like they always do. “Should I ask them later today?”
