"Hey, you've reached Lance! I'm probably doing something awesome right now, so I can't make it to the phone. Leave a message and I'll hit you up later."

[lonewolflion]

hey we need to talk about what happened

meet up with me?

[the_tailor]

oh

uh you mean the masquerade ball thing? with the magic masks and all?

[lonewolflion]

no i mean the other thing

yes i mean the ball with the weird masks.

[ Too bad this is text, because Keith meant that first part as a joke...not to be a sarcastic ass. ]

[the_tailor]

that, yeah, that

uh, sure

where do you wanna meet

[Crap. He wasn't ready to deal with this.]

[lonewolflion]

[ Sorry Lance....Shiro and Pidge have been bothering him. by giving him those LOOKS. ] right...how about the training room? Or up by the daycare?

[the_tailor]

training room is fine, yeah. just give me a few to get ready

[Okay. Everything would be fine. He'd just repeat what he said at the ball. Hope Keith didn't bolt again. Right now, he was just desperate for everything to be cool so he could figure this out without curling up into a bag of candy.]

[lonewolflion]

got it.

already there so I'll just wait for you then.

[the_tailor]

[It isn't long before Lance gets to the room in question. He is, of course, a little nervous, but this isn't a huge deal. And he just keeps repeating in his mind everything that Hunk told him.]

Yo.

[lonewolflion]

[ Keith had been practicing so he's in his usual, black t-shirt and jeans. He's taken to pulling his hair back because, well it was easier. It really was getting a bit long. ]

Hey.

[ Taking a breath he tried to give Lance a small smile before moving to one of benches on the side of the training room and sat down, leaving an open invitation for the other to sit too. ]

[the_tailor]

[He strolls on over, hands in his jean pockets. There was no need to be nervous about this. It's just clarifying what was kind of a mess.]

So, uh...

[lonewolflion]

Look, I wanted to say I'm sorry for taking off like that. I...I freaked out. I mean, it's not it's everyday I get hit on...anymore.

And I know, you didn't know it was me. I mean if you did you wouldn't have done it. I know.

Just....sorry.

[ Keith could feel his heart racing and it wasn't because of the training. His palms were sweating more and he hadn't realized that he was sort of rambling until it was already out. So instead he just stares at the ground, gripping the edge of the bench.

He may have come to terms with his own feelings but that didn't mean he was ready to just let them out. Not when he was sure they wouldn't be returned. ]

[the_tailor]

No, it's cool. I mean, it was a really awkward situation. I can't exactly blame you for bolting, you know? At the least you didn't smack me upside the head, so that's a start.

[He gets his hands out of his pockets, fiddling with the hem of his shirt. Keith was a step beyond Lance in figuring out his feelings at this point.]

I don't think either of us would have just right out tried to kiss the other just...like that. We're kind of at each other's throats half the time, and not in the sexy kind of way.

[Lance was terrible at talking things out.]

What I'm saying is...yeah, what happened probably wouldn't have happened then and there without those masks. But it doesn't mean that I regret it, either. You were fun to dance with, and I'd be an idiot if I didn't at least admit that you looked amazing.

[lonewolflion]

[ He's always a step ahead of Lance.

...

Anyways! ]

Yeah...right.

[ Excuse him as he tries very hard not to look like that was what he was expecting. He told Shiro there was no way he'd be interested. It was better if Keith just ignored it all and just went back to the way things were. He was making a big deal out of nothing, but at least he wasn't stupid enough to make it worse. ]

Really? Because I still think I suck at dancing, you're good though.

[ He's not reading into the whole 'you looked amazing' thing. It was subjective, Lance was just being Lance and trying to smooth things over. ]

Those masks though...those were not something I was expecting. I mean, really cool but...that could have ended way worse.

[the_tailor]

You do suck at dancing. Doesn't mean it wasn't fun, though. Seven out of ten, would dance with again. Maybe I can even teach you sometime.

[He fiddles some more with his shirt. What's the right thing to say right now? Lance wishes things actually just went back to making some sort of sense.]

So, uh. The point is, I guess... I'm working through some things right now. And I definitely feel like there's going to be a part 2 to this conversation sometime, but not until I figure some things out.

[lonewolflion]

[ There's a little smirk. ]

Finally better than me at something, you sure you wanna teach me? I might just out do you in that too.

[ He's joking mostly, he just wants things to go back too. But that second part...that has Keith stopping, confused.

What did he have to work through? Why would they have a 'part 2' to the conversation? Whatever it was it was obviously bothering Lance quite a bit so instead of asking Keith just nodded slowly. ]

O-kay, sure. Just let me know when you get what ever it is worked out.

[ Standing Keith laid a hand on Lance's shoulder and gave him a good natured smirk, his usual look. If he wanted anything to go back to normal he'd have to actually make an effort after all. Pating the others shoulder he moved past him. ]

I need to go get a shower so I'll see you later.

[After he made chocolates with Lance for their friends, Hunk stayed up to also bake cookies. So, next to Lance's pillow, is a flour sack bundle, tied up with a blue ribbon. Inside is an assortment of sugar cookies. One that looks like his plasma rifle, another that looks like Blue, and a few others that are shaped like stars.

Attached is a handwritten note - "Happy Valentine's Day to the best bro ever! -Your brother from another mother Hunk ;)"
