"Thank you, and you too, (Y/n)." Allura says, before turning back to the others. You turn around, the girl still laughing in your shoulders, when you run into something. You back up to see another flower crown, a little Arusian boy on the shoulders of none other than Lance McClain. You now your head and allow the boy to put the crown on you. You smile and blush. "Thank you." You say. The boy blushes and tugs at Lances arm, signaling he wants to get down.

"Okay, that was his idea." Lance says to you as he sets the little Arusian down. You giggle and watch the little Arusian run away. "I find that hard to believe." You reply. "Do you wanna get down, too?" You ask the little girl on your shoulders, who shakes her head, and starts playing with her hair. "What do you mean it's hard to believe?!" Lance exclaims. "You know what I mean." You say. An evil smirk forms on your lips as you think of something to say.

"You flirt with anyone with two legs and no dangling in between!"

"(Y/N)!" Lance roars, face going completely red. You quickly set down the little Arusian girl and run away from Lance, who you hear chasing after you. You laugh like a maniac as you dodge Arusians, trying to get away from Lance. You see Keith in the distance, leaning against a tree watching the social interaction. You look behind you to see no Lance in sight. You sigh in relief and walk towards the Red Paladin, collecting your breath. You know you should probably not engage with him, based on what Erika said to you earlier, but he could defiantly fend off Lance, so you'll take your chances.

"Hey Keith." You say, once you were close enough to him. He looks at you with an eye brow raised as you heavily pant, hands on your knees. "What happened to you?" He asks. "Sprinting away from an angry Lance." You reply. Keith shrugs. "You could use some exercise." He replies nonchalantly. You choke on your breath. "EXCUSE me?!" You yell. "Your performance on the field isn't the best." This is the Keith I remember at least. "We've barely trained!" "You probably can't even protect yourself." "I can so-"

"(Y/N)!" Lance pounces on you from the side. You almost fall over from the impact, but Lance pulls you back up and throws you over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes. You bang on his back "LANCE! Put me down!" You screech at him. "I'll be taking her, thanks." He tells Keith, while starting to walk away. "Lance, put her down." Keith sighs like a parent scolding their child.

"IF SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID TO ME TO YOU, YOUD BE DOING THE SAME THING." Lance screams, with you laughing on his back as you play back his face after you said what you did. "What she say?" "SHE SAID ID FLIRT WITH EVERYONE WITH TWO LEGS AND NO DANGLING IN BETWEEN." Lance yells. You move a bit so you can see Keith's face. Keith blushes a bit and face palms. "Well, I mean," He starts, moving his hands. "She's technically not wrong." "OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT-" Lance screams at Keith's reaction , turning and walking away, as you laugh hysterically on Lance's shoulders. "Where are you even taking her?"

"THE GIANT PYRE." Lance screams back. You gasp at that. "NO I DONT WANNA DIE!" "TOO BAD." "KEITH SAVE ME!" You call out to him, looking over at the Red Paladin, who was still leaning on the tree. "What happened to your self-defense?" "JUST HELP ME." You yell at his snarky remark. Keith visibly rolls his eyes and jogs over. "Lance, put her down." "No." "I tried." Keith shrugs at you. You glare at him. "Fine." He replies. You are suddenly shifted and held bridal style, going fast in the opposite direction. You grab onto your flower crown. "KEITH!" Lance shouts. You look up, and to your surprise, Keith was carrying you while running away.

"YES! ONWARDS MORTAL!" You screech, as Keith weaves his way through Arusians. After a minute or two, he comes to a stop, setting you down. "You owe me." "Thank you Keith!" "Don't mention it." He grumbles at you. You're about to thank him again when he says, "Seriously. Do. Not. Talk about it." He glares at you. You smile and nod, just thankful he got you away from Lance.
