     “How soon do we need to begin?” Now, Kolivan responds and the hairs on the nape of his neck sound an alarm, raising well along the stubble buzz cut and trailing an insufferable itch down the length of his arms. He breathes and Allura steps away, guiding the Marmoran further into the ship as the rest of the team follows suit.

     Shiro catches Keith’s wrist as he makes to bring up the rear, a firm grip and a steadying gaze holds him fast.

“‘Let’s do camping out on an alien planet’ thing” - Closed Thread @cosmicxblade

Shiro didn’t give it a second thought when Coran first suggested the idea. 

While going on one of their first expedition on Atlas, they had stumbled upon an unknown planet. It had such dense outer atmosphere that the Atlas could not get an accurate read. It was when Coran proposed that one of the lions are to go scout the world and report back to Atlas. A simple first mission out in space. 

Keith had volunteered himself, and Shiro was not far behind.

Thus, their current predicament. Stranded. On an unknown planet, with no signals, and the Black Lion drained of its power. They managed to send the team a message to avoid bringing the other lions down less they too receive the same fate. Now they wait for the team to find a solution to get them out with Black. He trusts that they’ll find a way.

Magenta hues seeped from every object in the room, a haze mixing and pooling over the floor like a fog. A fog that seemed to have a mind of it’s own as it crawled back up the walls and into Shiro’s bed covers.          “Shiro?”

The paladin felt his throat tighten. Out of anticipation? Or was the fog really trying to strangle him? The ghost of cold metal fingers traced his throat, but there was nothing when Takashi looked. Fear pulled at his chest.          “Shiro.”

Grey eyes snap open as his body jolts, the familiar voice snatching him from the dream. Lips parting as he tries to steady his breath, Shiro searches for it. Grey hues landing on violet and relief floods through him.

"Keith?"

It had taken the better part of an hour, to get all of those balloons blown up, tied up, tied down, and ready to go. Lance’s fingers are still sore from all of the tying, but it was so worth it.

It had taken all of ten seconds, and one mishap with the gas stove top, to set off a chain reaction that ended with all of his hard work in pieces on the floor around him. 

And of course, Keith was the one who noticed. Keith was the one who came running in to save him, effectively ruining the surprise birthday breakfast that was still mostly unfinished. Jeez, couldn’t that guy sleep in, just this once? Just for his birthday?

... At least he was getting a good laugh out of it all. Lance, however, feels more like he might cry. All of that work, ruined! But he does his best to laugh at his own misfortune. He can agonize over it later.

⌈ —  It was one of those rare days that they had off, and Shiro was going to make the most of it. Who knew when their off time would be cut short, and besides...Keith and him had been so busy that they barely had any time to spend it together.

But it looked like, mother nature had other plans for them. He frowned, looking up as he began to feel a few, cold drops on his face and sighed in disappointment. Looking over at Keith, hearing about how he should head back, Shiro snorted before grinning.

          “And leave you all alone? Don’t think so, pal. Come on, lets just head to that cafe and wait it out. I don’t have anything else to do for the day and I planned on doing absolutely nothing until we get back.”⌋

    “KEITH, IF YOU DONT LET ME OUT. I’LL DIE IN HERE!”

Hunk continuously banged on the door. Shivering as his banging grew weaker and weaker. Keith had just shoved him in there for no reason whatsoever. It was so fast, he didn’t really have time to react to it. If he had more time to think. He probably would overpowered Keith by now.

“Keith! Keith! I’ll freeze in here! Is that what you want?! What’s wrong?! What happened?!” He tried to use his depleted strength to bust down the door to no avail. 

What did he do wrong that he got himself locked in here?

⌈ —  Shiro didn't flinch when Keith snapped at him; he clearly could see how upset he was, seeing how he was trying to push him away, hiding, wanting to be alone. But Keith should know better than that, he should know that Shiro wasn’t going to budge and leave him be with these thoughts.

He waited patiently for Keith to gather his thoughts, to calm himself down and let him talk to him once he was ready. Shiro planned on staying for as long as Keith needed.

He was relieved when he heard those two words before taking it as a confirmation to stay; so he walked over the other male and gently wrapped his arms around him, holding him close.

    “Okay, but still. I like the name Kosmo. It fits.” Hunk bends down to pet the space wolf--thing? Ah well, it looked like a wolf. So, that’s was what he was going with, “Unless, you’re planning on naming?” Honestly, he couldn’t imagine Keith coming up with a good name.
