"Curtis where are you taking me?" Shiro asked as Curtis drove through the mountains.

"I told you, on a date." He explained.

"Yeah but you won't tell me where or why we are doing." Shiro pointed out.

"Maybe it's a surprise." Curtis chuckled.

"Well whatever it is, it better be good, cause you dragged me away from work." Shiro said.

"Oh you weren't doing anything important." Curtis laughed.

"You don't know that." Shiro said.

"I actually do." Curtis said. "I asked Coran and he said nothing was happening today."

"I feel like I'm being kidnapped..." Shiro said.

"Oh you are? Here have a kit-kat." Curtis handed him a candy bar. "Better?"

Shiro smiles and chuckled. "Better."

"How is space peace stuff going?" Curtis questioned.

"It's working out." Shiro said as he took a bite of the candy bar directly... in a way you should never eat it!!

"Shiro!!" Curtis said. "What are you doing?"

"I am eating it..." Shiro said, raising an eyebrow.

"You break it and you eat each individual piece." Curtis explained.

"That's no how me and Keith eat it." Shiro said.

"What! You taught Keith to eat it that way too? What did you also tell him you put the milk in before the cereal?" Curtis snapped.

"There is no right way of doing things!" Shiro said and took another bite of the kit-Kat just to annoy him.

"Oh that's it!" Curtis teased. "We gotta stop the car right now... I can't continue onward!" He stopped on the side of the road and parked the car and got out and started to walk in the snow.

Shiro laughed and opened the window. "Where are you going?" He chuckled.

"I can't drive in a car with a crazy person." Curtis said as he sat on the hood of the trunk.

Shiro laughed before rolling up the window and coming outside to sit by him. "How are we suppose to get to our date then?" He asked as he sat by him.

"There wasn't a date..." Curtis said. "I just wanted to spend time with you." He looked over at Shiro.

Shiro smiled and blushed. "Well you should of told me to bring my jacket, it's freezing out here."

"Come here." Curtis opened his arms. "Lean on me, my chest is warm." He wrapped an arm around Shiro.

Shiro smiled and leaned against him. "Want some kit-kat?" He questioned.

"Not now that it's corrupt." Curtis teased and the two of them laughed as snow fell all around them.

"What do you mean Lance is sick?" Keith said as he arrived on the farm winter morning to pick up some more supplies Lance had ready.

"He gots a cold." Veronica explained at the doorway. "Come see for yourself. I think he is just being a big baby, but mom buys his act and waits on him hand and foot."

"Well He is the baby of the family..." Keith pointed out as he walked in and took off his coat, scarf, hat and gloves. "Did he go snow swimming or something?"

"Yep..." Veronica said. "In nothing but his boxers... like an idiot."

Keith tried not to picture that. "Wow that sounds cold. He might have something then..."

"Yeah it's his own fault then." Veronica lead Keith to the family room where Lance was sitting all bundled up in at least three blankets as his mom hand feed him soup.

"Lance—" Veronica stuck her head in. "Someone is here for you..."

"Hey Lance. Can you not eat soup on your own?" Keith teased as he stepped into the room, Keith's hair had grown a bit longer, he had it in a small tail at the base of his neck.

"What!! Keith! What are you doing here!" Lance sat up. "And I'm sick! I can't touch the spoon or else everyone might get sick!"

"Sure..." Keith laughed as he walked over to come stand by him. "You said you had a pick up ready and I wanted to see my favorite Altean farmer. How is the farm, did the snow do a lot of damage?"

"Eh, everything got harvested before the frost, so everything is fine. The flowers I put in a greenhouse so they can continue growing, and we will see if any made it through the winter later on." Lance explained. "Keith, you shouldn't be standing so close, you have been in space for a while, and you might catch the illness from me."

"Nonsense, I don't get sick." Keith said. "I'm sorry you are feeling crappy."

"Eh, I'm fine. I'm not dying." Lance laughed. "But all your stuff is in the barn. Did you park closer this time?"

"I brought a hover cart, so I don't even have to carry it." Keith smirked.

"This is why you are weak Keith." Lance teased.

"Am not weak!" Keith said. "I workout a lot."

"Yeah yeah." Lance wasn't buying it. "I grew, so I might be beating you in height now."

"I doubt it." Keith said. "And Cosmo still gots you beat."

"Cosmo is not a dog anymore, he is like a freaking horse!" Lance said.

"He is a space wolf." Keith said. "And remember, Cosmo is—"

"A temporary name." Lance finishes the sentence. "I got it."

Keith chuckled. "So, I guess I'll let you be. I'll come say goodbye after I have loaded everything up."

"Sounds good. Don't get sick." Lance said as he sipped at some tea.

"I don't get sick sharpshooter." Keith said and turned to leave, he put back on his jacket before gong outside to quickly load up everything.

✨✨✨🌟✨✨✨🌟✨✨✨🌟✨✨✨

"Wow." Veronica said. "Keith has really glowed up."

"What is that suppose to mean?" Lance snapped.

"I mean, look at that hair." Veronica laughed. "I might ask him out on a date."

"Ewww Keith? Really? You can do better Veronica." Lance said. "I don't think Keith has ever liked anyone, he is a lost cause when it comes to love."

"Well He doesn't have a mullet anymore." Veronica pointed out.

"He will always have a mullet in my mind. And aren't you kinda a thing with—" Lance started.

"Do not!" Veronica snapped. "Don't tell mom. I will never hear the end of it, and we will have to have family dinner, and it will all be so embarrassing."

Lance chuckled. "So it is true... I'm going to totally use that as blackmail." He smirked. "More soup please."

Veronica rolled her eyes and grabbed his bowl and headed to the kitchen to get him more soup to keep him quiet.

Keith came back it. "Wow, it's freezing out there." He kept on the jacket as he shivered, walking back over to Lance. "Thanks for the supplies."

"Anytime man. I probably won't have much more until later in the season." Lance told him.

"Oh wait! I almost forgot." Keith took off his jacket and pulled out a little coin on a string. "It's a necklace, from one of the planets that got your food. They were so grateful. This is one of their coins, I thought you would like it, since it has a cow on it." He handed the necklace to Lance.

"Wow! This is cool. Thank you Keith." Lance smiled.

"Anytime." Keith said, then paused before sneezing.

Lance has never seen Keith sneeze before. "Dude, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Keith said as he wiped his nose.

"You do not look fine." Lance said. "Come here." Keith leaned down and Lance put his hand on his head. "Ooo, Yep. You got a cold, you're burning up." Lance said. "You're sick Keith."

"I am not! I don't get sick." Keith said.

"Well you are." Lance scooted over. "Veronica! Get Keith some soup!" He called to the kitchen. "Come sit, enjoy the TV."

"Uggg..." Keith huffed as he sat down, he could feel himself getting sicker and sicker.

"Told you you would catch it." Lance said.

"I hate the fact that you are right..." Keith said as he grabbed a blanket to wrap around himself.

"Don't worry, Veronica will take good care of us." Lance smiled as Veronica brought them soup
