Whoooh let's get going

Lances Pov

Keiths been here for a week so far.. and I don't mind it as much? I overheard Pidge and hunk talking a while ago and decided it was only fair to give him a chance, ya know! Now, I despise admitting this, but he's actually pretty funny- he even teamed up with Pidge to try and make us play dress up after I started calling him 'princess mullet'! If there's one thing I still don't like though... Well two things- his hair is really stupid, but he keeps flirting with the guards. Like, when he knows I'm right there... Why does that bother me so much?

" Ooohh you like him don't you!" Hunk whispers through a laugh, putting his frying pan down.

" Huh! Dude, no! I would never that's redicu- are you a mind reader, hang on!?" I scramble while slipping off my chair, stacked on 4 other chairs, in surprise.

" Bro, I wish! But nah, you say things when you're thinking. Anyway, fess up! You like keithy boy~" he replies, piling the strange food onto two plates and tossing the pan in the basin.

"Id like him better if he was worse at cards," I state scrambling back up my seat stack. He hands me my plate of.. Something.

It's good!

3rd person POV

The 4 teens are gathered around playing some variation of poker, they don't want to bet on money so whoever loses plays truth or dare instead, after a few rounds of gross foods, weird secrets and horrified laughing fits, Pidge called out and hunk and lance formed a team. Lance was pretty confident in his hand.
"Four sevens and a ten," he states, staring Keith straight in the eyes as he throws down his cards, Pidge and hunk whooping in the background.
Keith looks down with a puzzled expression, " I think I've won again?" The trio go silent as 3 queens and 2 aces are placed.

...

"I CALL CHEATING!" lance declares.
" HOW HAVE YOU WON EVERY TIME!?" Hunk questions
"maybe I'm just better than you." Keith says, placing his head in his hands, not breaking eye contact with his betrothed.
Lance turns red with anger (he's also blushing like he'll but he'd say he wasn't) " I pick dare."
...
" Pidge, please fetch me a wig, dress and fan."

•Current day•

The two boys laugh looking back on the aftermath of the card game, putting their plates with the saucepan they walk through the halls.

"You sure have a strange taste in men lance, you will be terrifying on the throne, you and Keith!" Hunk remarks

" Whats up?" A mess of black and red fall from the ceiling, causing the two boys to scream like babies and lance to jump into hunks arms.

That dark mass then began to laugh.
Hysterically.

"Keith!?" Lance is dropped on his ass. "Ow! What the hell hunk? And why the hell were you on the the ceiling!? Where did you come from!?"

" I've always had my own place to get away from you two" Keith states after he finally stops laughing, pointing to a ledge which camouflages perfectly into the ceiling.

"How do you know that and I'm the one who lives here!?"
"Because you never looked? Or asked? Where did you think I went for hours?" Lance helps Keith up.
"I DONT KNOW! I assumed your room or the gardens?"
" And watch my brother failing miserably to flirt with Adam? I think not." Keith says still trying to stop giggling over the previous scare, lance feels his face get redder from 'embarrassment'.

"Welp, fun talking," Keith says calmly before jumping and grabbing a beam, lifting himself up and sliding into his hidden spot.

...
"Oh yeah!" Keiths head pops out as he leans over the edge " don't tell Shiro about this, he'll go on and on about safety and my image of whatever, got it?"

Hunk walks off to let lance have his moment with the other prince. " totally!" Lance replies eagerly.

After Keith disappears round the corner again, lance finds his feet aren't moving, he stands there staring at the ledge, or at least what he thinks is the ledge? Is very well hidden.

...

" Is something wrong, your highness?" Keiths asks, not coming into view

" I- uh, I don't, um, technically you're higher up than I am right now." Lance states

" Is that a complement?" The other boy askes, swinging his legs over the other edge.

"The highest of compliments!" Lance jokes, walking round to face him.

" This certainly is a change of tone from last year" Keith says, his face dropping towards the end of the sentence as memories flooded his head.

" ...I'm really sorry about that man, I really was going to let you into the tree house, that sign was just a stupid joke and I know Hunk feels super guilty about it too"
" ... I'll tell you what, I'll forgive you right now if you can get up here." Keith challenges.
Lance has never backed down from a challenge.

"Get that forgiveness started then, Mullet" lance jokes, rubbing his hands together. He gets a little distracted by Keiths laugh. Just a little.
He jumps up and grabs the beam, sending a wink to Keith before pulling himself up more...

Then slipping.

He lands sprawled on his back as laughter rains down from above. Keith could barely breathe, it was incredible, he would never forget this absolute tragedy. "Now this! This is my idea of fun!"
