Re:Dates and Prank Wars
Who: Keith, Shiro, and you!
When: See prompts
Where: Voltron House and Arito proper
What: The Prank War in the Voltron and friends household begins. Also dates and getting busted on one. (But was it really a secret or is Lance just that dense?)
Warnings/Notes: We tried so hard to keep back the gay spoilers. It lasted X tags.
Just A Quiet Evening (locked to Takashi Shirogane) - 9/29
[It was Shiro’s choice this evening, and thankfully everyone else seems to be out or in their rooms by the time both are about to leave the house looking… well, halfway decent and decidedly not in work uniforms or job armor. It’s a small miracle, despite the fact it’s still casual clothing. Keith in particular is sporting a light jacket, a decent shirt that isn’t just another black t-shirt for once (it’s red plaid; no one should be surprised at this point). Plus, by this point he’s fairly certain everyone at home had gotten the subtle clues. (Oh, how wrong he is.)]
Ready? [He asks, waiting at the back door as Shiro approaches, a relaxed almost-smile playing at the corner of his lips yet it dances in violet eyes. He’s been looking forward to this all week.]
A Quiet Evening Interrupted (Locked to Takashi Shirogane and Lance) - 9/29
[All seemed to be going rather well, all things considered. For a college town, there was plenty of cafes to choose from. There was even a lovely window seat available when they arrived to the locally-owned cafe they’d decided upon. On the edge of town and surrounded by college housing, but cozy and inviting. Both are chatting quietly, relaxed and very much in their best yet-still-casual attire…
Keith’s smiling at some joke Shiro just told. What is this madness?]
The Pranks Begin… - 9/30
[Everything seemed to be going rather well this morning. The sun was shining, the desert insects were still buzzing, the college kids were likely still nursing a hangover from illegal drinking the night before… It was the start of a good day and nothing could go wrong.
Except for one teeny tiny little thing: And that thing being vibrant green dye going down the drain as Keith showered. He stepped out of the shower, drying off when he noticed some of the color come off on the towel.]
… [He sighs, wraps the towel around his waist, and goes back into their bedroom proper to get his slate.] Very funny, Shiro.
[Except his expression says anything but that. Instead, he takes the device, walks back into the bathroom, and slams the door.]
Careful this morning Lance. Someone decided to start some pranks.
[Then followed by a mass text to everyone in the house (except Shiro):]
Whatever you do tomorrow, don’t sit in Shiro’s usual chair at the table.
[He has a plan, but that will have to wait. He turns the water back on and ups the temperature to as hot as he can handle before going back in, leaving the device on the counter and the bathroom door locked.
...and is very, very grumpy when he can't get all the green out before work. He sits down at the table, fully dressed, irritated and very much attempting not to show it. He's not very successful. Especially if someone starts snickering.]
Not. A word.
A Poked Lion is Never A Good Thing - 9/30
[He tried so hard and got so far, but in the end his hair is still a dark shade a green. Keith seems irritated by this fact as he wanders the local shops in Arito and, later in the afternoon, Sparks Golsaucia. In Arito he’s looking at… shampoo? Especially since a certain someone was so kind to add hair dye to his.
And then, in Sparks Golsaucia... huh. That certainly is some super duty glue he’s looking at. What ever could that be used for?] “WARNING: Do not use acetone to remove”... Perfect.
[... Uh oh.]
Wildcard
[Want to run into Keith while he’s still wandering around before the fifth and thus while his hair is still green? Feel free to poke me! He’ll likely be working on his Custom Job still, along with flying and working on trade routes.]

It's not that I don't trust all of you, Lance. I don't trust myself in matters like this.
[He admits it. Adam had been the one to make those decisions and pull him along by the hand.]
I'm sorry. I'll do better in the future. I promise.
no subject
Care. About him. More than he thinks they do, even though they've told him, time and again, that they care. That they're friends.
He doesn't quiet tense up at the hug, but it's a near thing.]
You two are idiots.
[He sniffs, but he tries to hide it in his elbow. Stupid space dust. They're not even in space but here it is, getting to him all the time.]
no subject
Yeah, we are. Not nearly the same level as Baiken, though.
[Shiro will get the reason why, but for Lance's benefit, he adds:]
She made the mistake of calling me one of Shiro's "kids."
no subject
Just don't rub that in too hard. And yes we are, but we'll get better about this.
[They all have their hang-ups and flaws. Relationships are just his more difficult hurdle. It's fine.]
For the future, Keith and I chose weekends for date nights.
no subject
You better!
[He sighs, shoulders drooping. He can't stay mad at them, even though he wants to, because it's just...
Something so simple, stupid, and it's just. He just. He wants everything to be okay. They're the closest thing he has to a family here and he can't imagine living his life without them.]
And that's gross. I can't believe you're going to be a cringey couple like that.
no subject
I can't believe those words left your mouth, so we're even.
[He can. Oh, he can. But he'll take the usual ribbing over Lance curling in on himself any day.
Also what's so cringey about it?]no subject
Actually, we’re not that different from our usual. Now if we were ‘cringey’...
[He leans up over Lance to press a kiss to Keith’s cheek and smiles at him like some giddy teenager in his first relationship. The smile turns softer, far more real as he laughs and grins at Lance.]
Don’t worry. We won’t be insufferable.
no subject
This is it. This is the man he loves. It's not so much the kiss both the combination of that and the smile that makes his face heat up slightly. Whether embarrassment or- no, that's his heart beat picking up. It's both again. He didn't see it comiiiiing. He should have, but he didn't.
It doesn't mean he doesn't smile back, though. Just... looking away from both of them. Nope. You both see nothing.]
no subject
And Keith is blushing. Keith is blushing, and Lance can't help the way he giggles at that.]
Dude, your face is so red right now.
[He...is happy for them, at the end of all this. They're going to be embarrassing, but they... They deserve all the happiness they can get.]
no subject
It is not! [He manages to keep the hiss down low. It's childish, he knows, and he also knows that this will probably make Lance laugh even more, but he finds he doesn't care right now.
And hey, that's just enough to get him to snap out of it. Who'd have thought?]
no subject
It is... [His voice is equally low as he leans back in his chair. The air seems clear now. But it reminds him that everyone has dealt with a lot of stress lately.
Stress and sadness. They need a distraction. The gears in his head start turning.]
