After he sees Lance enter his room, Keith does as he said he would and starts making his way towards the Bridge to check up on the rest of the team. On his way, he tries his best not to think about Lance too much, he fails at it. After all, what is he supposed to do now that he has realized he most likely likes Lance? Should he tell him? How would he even do that? Before he can even reach a conclusion he runs into Pidge in the corridors.

She beams up at the sight of him. “Just the person I needed! Come with me.” “What’s going on? Did you guys finish what you were doing?” He asks, a little concerned. “Yeah, yeah everything is fine.”  She says while waving her hand in the air and starting to walk again in the opposite direction of the Bridge. “I just need to check on the core room thingy and could use an extra pair of hands.” Keith follows. “What exactly are you guys doing?” “Hunk and Coran had this idea of trying to increase the castle’s maneuverability and speed.” She explains. “Basically, it won’t be able to dodge the small ship’s attacks but maybe it can get away from those canons that take super long to charge.” “Oh… that’s a good idea.” She snickers, looking amused at his reply. “Yeah, a good idea as long it doesn’t accidentally make the castle explode.” He freezes. “Wait what? Are you guys sure we should be-“ “It was just a joke.” She interrupts him, a grin on her face still.

He had forgotten how much Pidge likes to play around, which can be fun at times, but he isn’t in his best mindset to process her jokes. “Very funny.” “Don’t be a baby.” She says while punching him on the shoulder, Keith looks away so she won’t see the smile he is trying to suppress. “By the way…” She sings songs the words. “Speaking of jokes… Allura and I found that earlier talk on the Bridge very amusing. Any more juicy details you have to share?” Ah yes, the talk where they asked about the cuddling incident before giving him permission to leave the castle with Lance… That talk. “No, there isn’t anything else to say.” He replies without really thinking about it. Pidge’s grins drops and she squints at him before looking back ahead in silence. Eventually, they reach their destination, but before Pidge opens the door she turns around to stare at him again. “Are you sure though?” “What?”

“Is there really nothing else to say?” Keith can’t really tell but Pidge sounds sort of sad. “I don’t want to see you hurt Lance.” He is extremely confused at the moment. “Why would I-“ “I know okay?!” She exclaims. Then looking in anywhere but Keith’s direction, she adds in a softer tone, “I know that Lance likes you.” “Wh- how-“ “I don’t think he remembers telling me. It was late at night when we were playing video games because he couldn’t sleep and I was taking a break from working on a new program.” She explains with a shrug. “He was basically high on lack of sleep.” “Oh.” “It’s just-“ She bites her lip and fidgets a bit. “This is embarrassing for me to admit, but I sort of see a little of Matt in him, with that annoying big bro feeling of his. It makes me feel better when Matt is away on missions.” Pidge sighs again. “So yeah… I don’t want to see him getting hurt over-“ “I-“ Keith interrupts unthinkingly and she is already looking at him waiting for him to finish the sentence. “I uhm- “ He can feel the pressure of her gaze as he stares at the ground. “I actually might… like him too.” His voice not above a whisper.

When he doesn’t receive a reply, he slowly looks back up; and sees Pidge smirking, the one smirk he has seen many Galra drones die while looking at it. “So… you two already dating and didn’t bother telling the rest of us?” “No!” He exclaims way faster and louder than intended. “I mean we- we aren’t-  I know he liked me too… at some point… but I don’t know if- I might just- what if he doesn’t like me anymore?” He finally says out loud. Pidge looks at him like he just told her that one plus one equals three without joking. “Keith… I found you two cuddling this morning.” She states. When he opens his mouth she interrupts him, her grin returning. “And you are apparently also sending letters to each other.” “But-“ “Keith who is the smartest person on this team?” He frowns, trying to understand where this came from. “You are.” “Great, so now you’ll listen to my advice and next time you see Lance you will tell him what you told me.” “But I don’t know what-“ “I’m sure Lance will help you with whatever questions you have. He is smarter than he makes himself out to look, I’m sure you know that.”

“How are you so sure about this?” He asks, as he starts fidgeting his thumb against his index. Pidge looks at him with a dead serious look, “I have heard him sing romantic cheesy songs for an hour while also talking about you.” He can’t help but starting to smile at that thought. Pidge scoffs and rolls her eyes. “My god, I can’t believe I thought you could hurt him, you’re just as hopeless as him.” “Shut up.” He says, embarrassed. He hopes he isn’t blushing. “Yeah sure, we have work to do anyway.” Pidge plays with the door panels and it opens. “Oh wait- just one quick last thing.” Keith is apprehensive. “What is it?” “Remember to keep it PG-13 around the rest of us, I support you two but I don’t wanna see-” “Shut up.” He interrupts again, while also wanting to sink into the ground and become one with the floor.
