It was late. Almost everyone had gone to bed except for Lance. He stared at his ceiling with his heart pounding. He craved s'mores so bad. Once he started craving that: he wanted chocolate, he wanted roasted marshmallows, graham crackers and milk, any human food would do at this moment. Lance knew he had to replicate something. So he went to the kitchen. Green goop, alien veggies and fruits. He wondered if there was any of Hunks leftovers, but he knew Shiro and Coran had probably eaten the rest of the crab and strawberry-peanut butter tasting meal. He wondered if Hunk could whip up a lasagna, or a double cheese burger with crunchy cold lettuce, or his mom's tacos, or his dads crazy spicy spaghetti with cheesy meatballs. His family only had those on special occasions though. Lance wondered what his family was doing, what special occasion could've occurred between him leaving earth and now? Did his sisters fiancé ever propose? He asked dad and dad gave his blessing. He remembered they hugged and Lance was so happy to have him joining his family. He wondered if his little brother passed his math test, they had talked a day before the discovery of Pidge on the roof with the talk of Voltron...where it all started. Lance couldn't help but wander to a window where he could look out into space. He should ask Pidge and Hunk if they could build some type of mega computer allowing one to Skype their family, or at least call them. Huh, Lance walked and half jogged to Pidge's room and knocked. He knew he could walk into a war zone. A sleepy Pidge isn't a good Pidge. He probably should let her sleep, but if he didn't ask now then he would forget and Lance knows one can't tell Hunk anything when he's half asleep, he forgets it all. "Pidge?" He whispered as the door opened. It was a surprise to find both she and Hunk were there, sitting on the ground. Hunk's face with a bit of what looked like make up. Hunk looked shocked at first but smiled quickly. Pidge almost screamed but collected herself accordingly. "Oh," she dabbed a soft ball into a bowl and shrugged "hey, Lance. What's up?" "Uh..." he watched for a moment as she spread the golden color on Hunks cheek. I guess this is a thing now, he thinks to himself and sits. "I don't want to bother you guy and gal, but I wanted to know something?" Pidge smiled, refilling with gold. "Yes, I can do your make up too. You'll be blue because-" "It's Voltron themed!" Hunk sings with a smile. "After this, I get to do Katie! I used to do my moms make-up before she went on dates! Mom said everything I touch turns beautiful! Sorry I interrupted you Katie, I'm just so excited to have my make up done! I hope I didn't just man-splained it." Hunk looks worried. Pidge pats his head. Lance's heart leaps. It seems like he's not the only one thinking about family tonight. He slaps Hunks shoulder with a tight squeeze then looks at Pidge. She's an amateur at make up but he knows girls aren't good at the stuff when they don't or haven't practiced in a long time. "You want to go by Katie now?" Lance asked, both hands on his knees. She shrugs again. "Yeah, I don't really care, call me whatever you want." She smiles. "Juuuust keep it on the feminine side." Lance leans forward with squinty eyes. "Is dude okay?" Pidge laughs. "Dudes okay! Just not like bro or anything!" Lances nods, he can do that for her. He freezes. "Wait, who will I get to put make up on? I did my sisters make up all the time for tea parties and prom!" "Hm," Hunk thinks then smiles, "Keith." "What?!" Lance gasps, looking around him, jumping up to check the top bunks. He stares at Hunk with a stick eye. "Keith isn't here!" Pidge moves onto Hunks eyes, attempting purple with a yellow fade. "Keith said he would do this for me, he grabbed my shoulder and everything." She looks down with a slight blush, "it was really sweet." Lance belly flopped the floor, staring at Pidge as if she lost her mind. "Keith? Mullet head, enemy, anger driven Keith? /OUR KEITH/? Are you sure?" "Smiled and everything. I'm sure he fell asleep though. Anyway, Lance, what was it that you wanted to talk about?" Pidge stares at Hunks face. Hunk gives a sparkling face of happiness. "Oh, right, have you guys ever thought of a way to contact our families?" Lance sits criss cross, he smiles and laughs a bit looking at Hunk. Over saturated but looking good. "Of course." Pidge answers sorrowfully. "I can't imagine what my mom must be going through, loosing her entire family..." a second passes, she's looking down, her eyes get watery. "Oh, no-No-nO-NO-NO-NO!" Hunks quick to grab Katie's chin and stares with stern sad eyes. "I just got my make up done ~fabulously~ by you, good miss, and I can't have us- crying! - I /cannot/ mess up this beautiful face that you've just created, Katie! Come on!" Pidge can't help but smile and laugh. "Okay! Okay!" She wipes her eyes. Lance smiles. Then looks confused. "Uh, Pidge, earlier when talking about Keith it sounded like you like him." "I did see you blush." Hunk adds. Pidge gags. "Because he showed some kindness! I blush easily! I-I blush talking about you two and Shiro! And Allura! And Coran!" "Okay, okay! We get it." Lance sighs. He couldnt be sure but when Katie said she didn't like him, his heart lifted a little. Weird. That's not how you're suppose to feel with an enemy. Ah, probably just glad Pidge won't end up with a dingo like Keith. Keith..that dingo, better not mess with his new little sis, dingo Keith. The door opens. In walks a freshly cleaned Keith face, his hair pushed back with a bandanna, his face which had an actual smile now shocked that he see's Lance. Lance looks mortified. He grabs his blue lion slipper and throws it at Keith's face, "KEITH, YOU DINGO!" Keith catches the slipper and stares at Lance confused. Lance wonders how many more of the Voltron crew is awake, he thought they'd all be sleeping. He hopes no one saw him doing bicycle exercises on the dining table. But of course, Coran saw the whole thing. ---------------------------- @amalgamoffaces look. I did it. It's terrible with a lot of conversation and sentence put together-ness but I did it.
