Everyone being stuck with each other on a ship floating through space really doesn't do as good for a relationship as you might think. Being around each other doesn't make everyone feel closer, it does the opposite in fact. Everyone is itching to just get away from each other. Allura however picked up on this and after learning about a game called Truth it Dare it cooked up an awful day for the paladins. Also consider this, Allura has no chill.

"Paladins, lately you all have been failing at maintaining a good relationship with one another. You're all constantly fighting! After being informed of an earth game called 'Dare or Truth' I have set up, with the help of Coran, a fun bonding simulation." Allura informed excitedly.

Everyone looked back and forth among each other unsure about the harmless game. "I'm not sure this is a go-" Shiro began.

"Nonsense! To the training room immediately!" Allura yelled and everyone sped walked doing as they were told.

Everyone sat around expectedly but Allura didn't show. Suddenly the doors all shut and locked. Lance, Keith, and Shiro all pounded on the doors trying to get free while Hunk and Pidge laid back uncaring.

"C'mon guys, it's the princess, how bad could this be?" Pidge kicked up her legs and relaxed putting her hands behind her head.

"Alright paladins! Here's how this works. You will be asked truth or dare, you must choose between the two. If you get a dare you must accomplish it, you get a truth, you must answer it truthfully. If you fail to do so, a robot simulator will be set to attack you until you accomplish said goal." Allura said through the intercom.

"Never mind." Pidge said sitting up in a panic.

"Wait how will you know if we're telling the truth or not?" Lance raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"I equipped the castle with a highly intelligent lie detector. It should be 99.9% accurate." Allura stated.

"What about that .1%" Lance laughed nervously.

"Just shut it and sit in a circle everyone." Allura sighed.

======

"Alright Paladins, the questions will be randomly generated for you on this screen."

Everyone nodded and Allura cut out leaving them to 'bond'.

First person: Shiro.

Truth or dare?

"Uh, truth?" Shiro said unsure of his choice.

Question: What do you do in your free time?

"Easy, train. This game isn't so bad." Little did Shiro know, he was going to eat his words.

Next player?

"Uhm... Keith." Shiro smirked as Keith gave him a huge glare.

Keith, Truth or Dare?

"Well I don't trust Allura so, Truth."

Question: Being part Galra, do you ever purr?

"W-what kind of a question is that!? N-no!" He yelled kind of high pitched voice cracking. A large fighting sim bot spawned in swinging a sword threateningly. "You've got to be shitting me. Yes fine!!! I SOMETIMES purr!"

The bot disappeared and the text on the screen changed.

Next player?

"Pidge." Keith said still embarrassed while several people held back laughs.

Pidge, Truth or Dare?

"Dare bitches!!" Pidge yelled confidently.

"Language." Shiro reminded causing an eye roll from her.

Dare: Act like the person to the right of you.

That would happen to be Keith. Pidge suddenly had a large grin. "Perfect." Her face dropped into a pout. "Ugggg I'm sooooo emooo. I'm so gay for Laaaaanncceee." She folded her arms angrily.

"I DO NOT ACT LIKE THAT!!" Keith practically yelled. Lance simply blushed lightly. They both know Pidge ship each other.

Next player?

"Lance!" Pidge exclaimed with a smirk.

Lance, Truth or Dare?

"Well, I'm not a wimp like Keith so, Dare."

Dare: Take your shirt off for the rest of the round.

"What?!" Lance grinned his shirt stubbornly.

"You heard the game!" Pidge laughed.

"No!" Lance yelled.

"What? Lover boy Lance is scared to take his shirt off?" Keith teased earning a glare from the blue paladin.

A bit spawned in and Lance sighed pulling off his shirt. Keith thought he'd be okay but alarms blared in his head that let him know he wasn't. Mayday. Keith's face was red and he avoided looking at Lance completely. Lance simply tried covering himself slightly self conscious.

Next player?

"Hunk."

Hunk, Truth or Dare?

Hunk thought for a moment, "Truth."

Question: What's your favorite dessert?

"Maybe... doughnuts." He seemed happy with his answer.

Shiro, Truth or Dare?

"Dare."

Dare: Do a dance for 10 seconds.

Shiro busted some dad moves earning some laughs from the bunch.

Keith, Truth or Dare?

"Dare." Keith snickered at Lance.

Dare: Let Lance play with your hair for 3 minutes.

"WHAT THE FUDGE! That isn't even fair!!" Keith erupted. Lance however loved this dare.

Lance cracked his knuckles and parted the spot in front of him gesturing for Keith to sit there. Keith let out a huff before slumping down into the spot stubbornly. Lance happily fiddled with his hat for the full three minutes.

"Okay, times up." Keith pulled away the second the time ended. His hair had been braided several times but taken out and was now in a loose ponytail that left Lances cheek dusted with pink.

Pidge, Truth or Dare?

"Dare."

Dare: Make out with your own hand for 10 seconds.

"No need to ask me twice." She began to make out with her hand obviously being very jokingly stupid with it. Times up.

Lance, Truth or Dare?

"Truth."

Question: Do you watch Keith train shirtless when no ones looking?

"What in the fricketty fudging fadoodle cakes?!? Why are these questions targeting Keith and I?!" Lance yelled.

"Answer it Lance." Pidge teased.

"No." Lance stated seriously. "I don't."

The bot spawned. "What the- I DON'T!!" Lance stood up backing away from the bot.

After being chased by the bot for a bit Lance gave up. "Fine! Yes I do! I watch Keith train shirtless! Happy!?" Lance huffed. The bot disappeared.

"Very." Pidge smiled widely. Keith however was a blushing mess.

Hunk, Truth or Dare?
===========

After a while of playing it became clear the questions targeted Lance and Keith but the others denied it being entertained by their frustration.

Lance, Truth or Dare?

"Dare." Lance said angrily.

Dare: Play chicken with Keith.

Lances face turned into a tomato as Keith became confused. "What's chicken?" He asked innocently.

"It's when two people have to kiss and the first to pull away is the chicken." Pidge explained. Oh look, now we have two tomato boys.

Lance nervously walked up and sat in front of Keith. "Do we have to?" Keith asked.

"I don't really feel like getting my head bashed in by a robot." Lance smirked. He secretly really wanted to play. Little did he know, so did Keith. But both of the boys were unhappy about having to do this in front of the others.

They both closed their eyes and leaned forward kissing lightly. Neither pulled away. After about 10 seconds or so they both became a bit more passionate. Their lips moved in sync and Lance tangled his hand in Keith's ponytail. Keith's hands rested on Lances shoulders before wrapping his arms around his neck pulling him closer.

After a moment more Lance made a bolder move running a hand up and down Keith's back. This caused Keith to have to step it up a notch as to not lose. He kissed slightly more rough. Lance caught on and his hand snuck up Keith's shirt. Keith almost let out a small gasp and his cold hands but held it back unsure if that would mean him losing. Keith rested his hands on Lances hips rubbing circles with his thumbs.

Lance almost lost at the amazing feeling. The two had both completely forgot about the others in the room but they remembered the competition. Lance needed to take it up another notch. He licked Keith bottom lip asking for entrance which was granted. It quickly turned into a French kiss.

"Cough, cough." Shiro said covering Pidge's eyes. While hunk covered his eyes himself. The two boys immediately tore apart at the same time.

"We'll call it a draw." Lance said quickly pursing his lips tasting Keith on them.

Allura who had been watching over the camera and generating the questions decided they'd had enough and unlocked the doors opening them. She was glad Pidge informed her of chicken now.

Both boys darted off to their own rooms. Or so it seemed. Later that night they picked up where they left off while everyone already went off to bed.
