yup, just like that ~*razzle dazzle time!*~ i'll make keith jealous with how well i can pull off the color red
[ dammit lance. he's glad that shiro's joking around. it alleviates some of the awkwardness, at least on lance's part. and his jabs at keith have turned friendly rather than antagonistic over the past year (three years? five years in keith's case? time is confusing.). he's kind of missed their banter, too. he'll probably send keith a text later on today, too. ]
the kids definitely won't. every time i tell them how big they got they make it a point to say that i look the same lol
[ and then...comes the other texts. lance takes a few moments to read them, let it sink in. you're still a friend, lance.
those words mean more to him than lance can ever say. he hadn't realized shiro thought that way about him, because he just doesn't compare to any of the other paladins--keith's leadership, allura's growth, hunk and pidge's brains--and yet, somehow, shiro values him. it feels surreal.
he'd talked to hunk a little about the soulmate thing, but that's about it. everything else he's kept to himself, bottled up inside him. he still doesn't feel comfortable expressing his innermost thoughts and feelings about this, even to someone like shiro, but he can at least show his appreciation. even if he's kind of short circuiting right now. (the good thing about texting is that the other person can't see your reactions.)
lance forgets all about the shoes when he finally starts typing up a reply. ]
thanks, shiro. it's really not a big deal. i just needed some time to work through things on my own. i'll be fine.
[ that's...not exactly an all-out lie, but only half of it true. ]
and your secret's safe with me. my lips are sealed! i'll let him know i'm still alive and kickin' anyway
i have one (1) concern
