    Summary

    Riding high on a well-received flirtation attempt, Lance makes a confident claim: “I bet I could woo any alien, if I really wanted to.”

    “Hmmm… bet, huh?” Pidge’s eyes sharpen. “Alright, loverboy. You’re on.”

    Pidge chuckles, and Hunk looks like he’s about to start biting his nails, and when he glances over at Keith it’s not nearly enough warning for what’s about to happen.

    Summary

    Keith’s lips split into a small grin. “What if you and I were to form an attachment?”

    “An attachment?” Lance blinked. “You’re crazy.”

    “With you by my side, the world will think that I have finally found a husband. Every presumptuous mother will leave me alone, and everyone will be looking at you.” Keith grinned. “You must know, men and women are always interested in a man when they believe another, particularly a duke, to be interested in him as well.”

    “And you presume Whistledown–”

    “I presume that she’ll call us exactly what she sees. Me, unavailable. You, desirable.”

    “It’ll never work.”

    “Maybe. But provided that you do not wish to marry me and I do not wish to marry you, whatever should you have to lose?”

    Summary

    “What’s the fun in a masquerade if you don’t flirt outrageously with the prettiest person in the room?” the young man says flippantly, and then winks at Keith. Keith huffs a laugh, amused.

    “You keep saying things like that, but you haven’t seen my face,” he says, gesturing to his mask. “I could have warts under here. I could have spots, or scars.”

    “You’d be lovely even with all of those,” the young man says, and he suddenly sounds serious. It takes Keith by surprise, makes his heart twist along with his stomach. “Your eyes,” he continues, tilting his head. “I’ve never seen eyes like yours before.”

    Summary

    Keith hovers outside of the room, checking and double checking the number hanging in dull brass on the door. 305. He checks the slip of paper the housing authority had given him again. 305.

    This has to be his new room. It’s not the room he’d expected to come back to, but as he’d been told countless times already, he was honestly lucky he’d had a room to come back to at all.

    Summary

    Lance had always imagined his perfect wedding. He dreamt about meeting "The One" in a ‘love at first sight’ scenario. Perhaps they would meet on a train during rush hour when it was standing room only. Maybe the train would jolt and Lance would fall into their arms or they would fall into his. They would both apologise profusely, of course. Their ‘sorrys’ would be spoken at the exact same time, just as they made eye contact with each other unable to look away. Then they’d blush and giggle nervously. He’d extend his hand out to them with a confident, “Lance”, and they would smile, a genuine smile and take his hand and say…

    “Are you fucking serious!?”

    Well…not that.
