    Summary

    Kaveh paced. “Okay. Fine. Let’s play your game.”

    “It’s your game.”

    “Shut up. Assume mutual desire. Assume emotional repression. Assume shared domestic space.”

    “Assumed.”

    “Now: Is it ethical to pursue a romantic relationship if doing so risks destabilizing the existing cohabitative equilibrium?”

    Alhaitham blinked. “You’re asking if kissing me would ruin the kitchen schedule.”

    “I’m asking if kissing you would ethically constitute sabotage.”

    There was silence.

    Or, the ethics of love were complicated, but the ethics of not kissing each other were worse.

    Summary

    "This is where I live now, Keith. I can't just leave." He says, seriously.

    "Why?"

    "Why can't I just leave? Keith, I-"

    "No, I mean, why is this where you live now?"

    At this, Lance genuinely flatters. "What?"

    "Why? Why did you get into the Garrison? To milk cows and plant flowers for the rest of your life?"

    //

    Or: Two weeks in Lance's cottage on Earth are all he gets, before he's set to leave again. Keith smokes his cigarettes, drinks his wine, kisses him like he's been wishing to since he was eighteen, and pretends it doesn't kill him inside: that the saviour of the universe is so full of grief he's acting like he's content being a farmer.

    Summary

    "And there were a lot of things Keith wanted to say at that moment. Three words he couldn’t think in their entirety, gasped into his ear over and over. You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful against his collarbone and clavicle. I didn’t know they made boys like you into that freckle over his ribs. A hundred little confessions, whispered like secrets into every swathe and patch of skin he could trace with his fingertips, until the lights flickered on and he had to leave again like his heart wasn’t cracking in his chest."

    or: Keith and Lance start sleeping together, and it ruins their lives—until it maybe fixes them.

    Summary

    “I’m not pretending to date you, Lance. Especially not in front of your whole family. What the fuck?”

    Lance’s lip twitches for just a second before he catches himself, plastering on a smile. “Please?” he asks.

    “I’m not going to–”

    “I’ll be the best boyfriend ever, you’ll just have to play along, man. Please. Please. Please.”

    “Lance,” Keith tries one more time. Because here’s the thing: he wants to say yes, and –

    “Keith,” Lance drawls his name just so, in that way that is so terribly Lance, so familiar, yet still intense enough to send shivers down his spine.

    – and he’s, in recent years, never been good at denying Lance anything for too long.

     

    or: Lance needs a date and Keith’s invitation got lost in the mail (or something like that! Don’t even ask!). They turn out to be really good at this whole pretending thing.

    Summary

    “I need some advice,” Lance admits reluctantly, “of the seduction kind.”

    This time, Shiro doesn’t hold the smirk back. “I see. Would this have anything to do with our resident Galran hothead?”

    “Mr. Dense & Oblivious? Yeah. Unfortunately.”

    Shiro laughs, shaking his head. “I dunno what you need me for. You seemed to have everything handled pretty well in training today. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Keith go so red.”

    Now it’s Lance’s turn to smirk. “Yeah, that was great.” His smirk drops, replaced by a look of annoyance. “But it didn’t work."
    ---
    OR: Lance is pulling out all the stops to seduce Keith. Shiro is beyond amused, and as always a whore for drama.
