or Galras are known to be blunt with their words and observations. Kolivan liked to state the not-so-obvious-yet-so-obvious about a certain half Galra - usually happening around a loudmouth of a human.

So, it turns out that I remember that this fic exists! Crazy, right? This is dedicated to @otterobsession. I’m sorry it’s out a million times later than I promised it would be. But hey, at least I did update, right?

Keith had been awake for hours, but it didn't feel like it. There was still that dreamy sort of sleepiness wrapped around him, making the world seem hazy and beautiful. He'd slept better than he'd slept in a long time, the euphoria that came with kissing Lance bleeding into his dreams and allowing the moment to last even longer. But his dreams could never accurately capture just how soft Lance's lips were, or the warmth of his chest through his rain soaked shirt. His dreams were great, amazing, indescribable, but the only way to truly capture the feeling was to kiss Lance again. 

 And again. 

 And again. 

 Keith bit his lip, pulling his covers over his head. He was alone in his room but somehow he still felt exposed. He traced a thumb over hip lips, sinking back into the feeling of kissing Lance and thinking about how excited he was to kiss him again. Because he was excited. In fact, it felt to him like it'd be the only thing he'd be able to think about for awhile. 

 Finally a knock on the door startled him out from under the covers and he could immediately feel the flush flooding his cheeks at the idea of being caught fantasizing about Lance, even though he knew that they couldn't see him daydreaming. 

 “Are you still sleeping?” Shiro's voice floated through the door. 

 “No, I'm—” Keith cleared his throat, burying his face back into his covers. “awake,” he finished lamely. 

 That seemed to be all the permission Shiro needed and suddenly he was opening the door. “Well then get your lazy ass up, we're making breakfast.”

 “I'll be there in a minute.” Keith's response was muffled through the comforter but it was enough for Shiro who retreated to the kitchen, leaving the door wide open. 

 With a huff, Keith got out of bed, clicking the door shut for a moment. He wasn’t about to change out of his pajamas, so he didn’t really need to stay in his room, but he did need a moment to get his blush under control and to lock the images and fantasies of kissing Lance to the back of his mind. He was going to tell Shiro and Adam— he’d dated Lance for two years, apparently, so they must know everything about him and their relationship. He was sure they would take it well, really. But somehow, deep inside, he felt like a schoolgirl who had her first crush and it made him want to groan at himself. 

Hey, guys. Thank you for being patient with me, I am a trash piece of garbage human being who cannot write a chapter within a week to save her life. I actually forgot that I had a story here, whoops. Please leave comments, I absolutely love comments. They give me life. Anyways, enjoy this super short and super adorable chapter.

*********************

Shiro could not believe his luck. He’d just happened to run into Lance on his way home from one of his tutoring sessions, and he’d actually been able to talk to him! He hadn’t imagined that Lance would be so knowledgeable when it came to the things Shiro liked. He hadn’t been sure if he would be able to have a conversation with Lance without being incredibly awkward and putting his foot in his mouth, but the conversation had flowed, moving from one subject to another and another.

Now they had arrived at Lance’s apartment, and they immediately saw Blue sleeping on the couch, stretched out like a piece of taffy. Lance smiled warmly, causing Shiro to lose his train of thought. His eyes softened at the love in the smaller man’s eyes, at the warm smile on his face.

After putting the cat food and other groceries away, the two men sat on either side of the cat on the couch. Lance picked Blue up, kissing the feline on the forehead and laying him back down on his lap. Blue curled up on Lance’s lap, continuing his peaceful sleep.

After a few seconds of Lance watching Blue sleep and Shiro watching Lance watch Blue sleep, Lance suddenly seemed to realize that he was not alone. He burned red, turning his head to look at Shiro and mumbled out an apology. Shiro then also mumbled out an apology, both cementing the fact that they were awkward airheads.

“Your cat is nice. What’s his name?” Shiro had completely forgotten to even ask about the cat, but seemed to somehow have gotten his sanity and his tongue back just in time for the silence not to have been too long.

“Oh! He’s Blue. I actually just got him today, I was feeling really bad but then I went to the park and it smelled nice and I guess he was also nice and he made me not feel lonely so I decided to keep him and...” Lance had been rambling, but suddenly stopped, as if there was nowhere left for his train of thought to go.

“He, uh, it’s- a lovely name.” Shiro was so dumb. He was dumb on another level, and he couldn’t believe that was the only thing he had said. Should he add to it? No, that would just seem forced at this point, like a last minute add-on to save ass.

“Yeah, I guess.”

Dammit, now Lance looked down. Shiro felt like an ass.

“Oh, shit! I’m supposed to make lunch for my nephew! Sorry to leave suddenly, Lance, glad I could help with the cat food and stuff. It was awesome talking to you, maybe we could do it again sometime?”

“Sure, I’d like that.” And Lance’s face looked better again. He absentmindedly played with Blue’s feet.

“Awesome, thanks! See you then, love ya!”
