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.]

Distractions are never flashy, Lance. [He tosses out as he sets his coffee down and uses his slate to switch to Dragoon. He moves to follow Keith. Sparring with him is always good for both of them.]
thegoofball: (damn!)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2018-10-18 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Flashy is what makes a distraction! [He yells back, before heading back to his bedroom. Why does this have to happen to him?

His "Oh, are you serious?!" is definitely audible through his window.]

And that's where you both are wrong. [Shiro calls back as he steps out of the kitchen and into the yard. He sweeps his spear out to warm up his arms as he moves to his standard position pre-spar.]

No breathing fire, but everything else is fine. Sound good?

[He pauses when Lance remarks on the Demon and his party of shoes.]

Ah, he found it.

[There's the sound of a window sliding open.]

How am I supposed to get these down!

Use a step ladder! There's one in the linen closet.

[Shiro calls over his shoulder as he falls into the familiar stance with the ease of a trained fighter. He grins and surges forward, but jumps at the last second, flipping up onto one of the targets.

No fire but aerial combat? Hell yes.]
thegoofball: (ugh!)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2018-10-19 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
These shoes are weapons, Shiro!

[Why do you have no respect for that Dancer life?]

[He leaps to a higher target and beckons Keith to come at him. His grin is almost obscene. He loves this and loves the man coming after him.]

You can slip them right off the hooks! [Shiro calls, his voice sounding higher up and farther away.]
thegoofball: (you must REALLY like me)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2018-10-19 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
You two were in cahoots!

[Why does that not surprise him? Oh, right, because those two are ALWAYS in cahoots.

He does go and get the step ladder from the linen closet, even if he's complaining the whole way. And then, out his window.]


I want a new lock on my door!
spaceforged: (can I hide in you awhile)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2018-10-19 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It will just delay it until we figure out how that lock works.

[Shiro adds, as he keeps just ahead of Keith. The wind up here is fantastic and a glance behind him tells him Keith is having just as much fun as he is. They're almost to the top.]

And of course, we worked together! You got both of us.
thegoofball: (that's life)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2018-10-21 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
That's not fair!

[You monsters.]

I'm in this alone!

[personal profile] spaceforged 2018-10-21 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I did say I'd give your friend back to you!

[Their voices are rather far away now. He lands on top of the highest target and spins to face Keith. He surges forward when his boyfriend lands and moves to grab his arm and tug him into a kiss.]

thegoofball: (do you see me?)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2018-10-28 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[You know what? There are times where he hates the both of them. A lot.

(That's a lie. He doesn't, but there are times he wants to. This is one of those times.)

Not only are they teasing him, they're being all... PDA-y! With each other! Right there!]


Oh my god, you two!

[Why!!! Are you like this!!!]

I can still see you!
spaceforged: (pic#12502983)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2018-10-29 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He had put his own spear away and grabbed Keith's other arm. They've kissed several times but the taste of him is just as good now as it was the first time. He nips at his lips. Keith leans back in and a shiver goes down his spine.

Mmm, it's a good way to wake up. He pulls back when he hears a shout. He glances down and grins, eyes lit from within by something heated and wild.]


If you didn't look up you wouldn't see anything! [Shiro sighs, alright. He can stop being so mean.]

You know you can put other things on those hooks. Lights, bells...whatever strikes you. It's sturdy and solid. And yours to do with as you want. Oh, and your friend is removeable. You can put something else there.
thegoofball: (damn!)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2018-10-29 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
Get a room!

[A room far, far away from Lance, so he doesn't have to be subjected to seeing them every time he so much as turns the corner. He's happy for them and all, but seriously? In front of his salad?

He huffs, slipping back into the house and grumbling as he goes to deconstruct this stupid chandelier of Shiro's making. He hates him, just a little bit.]
