[video / text]

[Lance looks...well. Like he hasn't quite slept well for a few days. There's a big bag of candy next to him, though a good chunk of it is already gone. The candy wrappers in the background by his bed tell enough of what's happened to them.]

So. Uh. That masquerade! Yeah, that was a heck of a time. It was great to meet so many of you there. Nothing like a good old party to bring people together, right?

[He pauses. Looks thoughtful. Pops another piece of candy in his mouth.]

Those masks were...really something. Some of them were magic, weren't they? Yeah, that was...fascinating. And stuff.

[Another piece of candy.]

...My stomach hurts.

[Text - Private to Hunk]

bro. buddy. dude.

I am in some serious shit right now.

help me.

okay so like

the masquerade a few days ago, I went to it, it was pretty awesome

tons of pretty people except most of them were taken so boo

but anyway the point is that some of the masks were magic and totally concealed your identity? which I didn't really know, well sort of figured it out but didn't think about it much since it's not like I know a lot of people here anyway

so anyway there was this one complete hottie who came up to me and chatted me up and I swear even with the mask he was like the most gorgeous thing I'd ever seen right? so I put the awesome Lance moves on and we danced and I almost kissed him

[Holy crow, that was a wall of text. He reads it, scratching at the back of his head. Um... bro, come on. Don't freak out. Okay, wait, he reads it again, squinting at it a bit. This is their Lance. Poor innocent but not Lance.]

[He sighed and text back a minute or so later.]

'almost'?

I take it you have no idea who it is and you're looking for them?

[He supposed he could help. Look for the person that is. after all, there weren't THAT many people here. So long as it's not Wade. That guy was weird.]

okay well you see

that's......the problem, it's the opposite

so I told him hey let's take off our masks and see what each other looks like and if we like what we see, we kiss

and I was REALLY REALLY into it like this guy was perfect

seems reasonable.

perfect guy.

perfect moment.

really into it.

Lance, I'm missing the reason for the freak out here...

and you are totally freaking, brother

spill it.

[Look, he's honestly proud of the guy. GOOD on him. Sure, a little awkward if it doesn't work out, seeing how 'small' a space this world is for him to hide in but... I mean, dude, it can't be that bad. Curious Hunk is curious.]

[Hunk. Now here's where the situation goes to hell.]

so we take off the masks

and the guy

[Pause before he continues sending the messages.]

Hunk, it was KEITH

THE DUDE WAS KEITH

and?...

[he text right the fricking way in that little pause, because he's now leaning over his device and waiting, waiting... and then the next texts came in. His shoulders dropped a bit and he squinted at his device. Huh?]

[KEITH? Really? He snorted SO LOUDLY in the training hall he was seated in. Like this was any kind of news to--wait.]

[Waaaaait....]

DUDE! Keith?!

[Bro, is that their room? because he's totally gathering his shit and moving to go find Lance. Because text isn't enough. Also, he's so ready to text Pidge over this. But... bro code.]

[That's their room, yeah. That Lance is currently sulking in.]

THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN OKAY

[there is NO REPLY. Sorry Lance. He's hauling ass at the moment. Whoops, making you wait.]

[Lance just groans and puts his phone aside when he doesn't get a response. He'll just...start eating another chocolate bar now, thank you very much.]

[and BAM! The door opens. The door closes. And there is Hunk, leaning on the door, letting out a huff of breath and staring at his room mate.]

Keith?! You almost kissed Keith. Our Keith. Red Paladin Keith? That Keith? [all in one breath.]

[Lance doesn't look up. Just focuses on his chocolate bar, but his face definitely goes red. He chews, swallows. Still doesn't look up.]

Yes. Our Keith. Keith Kogane. Mullethead. He was the guy.

Bro...

[Broooo. He takes a breath and is calm again. OKAY. They got work to do here. As in... Lance is having a freak out and he can tell by the amount of candy he's eaten.]

[He comes over and very nearly just plops on the ground near by, legs folded under him and hands planted into his calves. Leaning.]

Okay. Okay, so... you were in a mask. Completely having no idea who it was, right? And he didn't know it was you, yeah? And you said you almost did, right? So... no problem. It's not like he's going to be mad at you for putting the Lance Moves on a stranger.

He ran away, though! Just...bolted afterward! I didn't even say anything bad!

[Lance groans, burying his face in his hands.]

And now I can't stop thinking about the whole thing...

[HMMM. He strokes his hand over his chin, very thoughtful now.]

I'm not surprised, really.

[Hunk, don't... stop there.] That he ran away, I mean.

[Wait, that just makes it sound worse. Whoops.]

What?!

[This time, his head snaps up.]

Dude, that's---rude! What's that supposed to mean?!

[Ah, there we go. Got him to look up. Hunk held up both hands a moment, in surrender.]

I'm not surprised that Keith ran away is all I meant. [Which is what he said, so really, he needs to elaborate. And he does.] I mean, not because of you. Or, well, yes, because of you but not in the rude way you must be thinking.

[PAUSE. Hmm, OH! got it.] Just that he seems like the type that would try to brush it off and not make a big deal out of it. So... you know, turn and go instead of talk it out. Because I am guessing you two didn't talk about it.

Of course we didn't talk about it! He's practically avoiding me as it is! Damnit, he's probably all...disgusted or something that it was me, right?

[Lance isn't even sure the exact reason as to why he's upset.]

That's my point though. You didn't talk. You know, for a "Man of Action" [air quotes] he's not much of a "Man of Action." [air quotes]

And I doubt he's disgusted with you. Wait, you didn't insult him right after, did you?

I didn't! I was actually really nice, all things considering! Like--my brain was breaking, but no insults, none at all! I even tried to smooth things over.

[He groans, and not just because his stomach is hurting.]

He probably hates me now.

[Seriously, if you shove another candy in your mouth he's taking the rest away until you can eat responsibility.]

Okay, okay, okay. Tell me what happened, and what you both said, from... you know, after the masks came off. I can tell you if he hates you or not. Trust in the Hunk.

I think he tried to run, but I stopped him at first. And I said I was sorry if I freaked him out? And that I wasn't going to like...make fun of him or act like my usual self and call him names. I was behaving really well, okay?

[Sigh.]

It's all kind of a blue. He looked pretty uncomfortable but didn't say anything mean back. But then he just kind of...bolted afterward.

[...]

[...]

[... AWWWWWWW. His hands pressed to his cheeks and he was grinning. Oh no, boys, you are so cute! He grinned when Lance finished talking.]

He doesn't hate you! He was embarrassed! Oh, I bet his face got as red as his jacket... You were nice to him!

[Hunk WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING.]

Well--I wasn't--I mean, I didn't want him to think I was creeping on him or anything, and it'd be a crap move to insult him when it wasn't actually his fault for once!

[Being inspired and happy over his stupid BFF's sudden realization of the fact that You Pull Her Pigtails Because You Like Her thing. Or, well, maybe he hasn't realized it yet, but Hunk has, and he's sure the others have too. Idiot boys.]

Okay. Lance. Buddy. You have two things you can do. Either go out there, find him and talk to him. Face to face. No names or insults. Ooooor. Ignore it. Pretend it didn't happen, and keep pulling his pigtails until he notices.

Pull his...pigtails? What's that supposed to mean?

[No, it hasn't completely settled in yet. Lance has refused to think about it too hard and has been distracting himself with candy and the like.]

Yeah, you could probably put that stupid mullet of his into pigtails, but.
