Lance pulls her in for a hug that almost smothers her, but he can't help himself. He's having the time of his life at this party. He's been standing under the archway for almost two hours now, and he just doesn't grow tired of it. He's distributing kisses to everyone who wants to. Lance is a gentleman after all, he'd never smooch someone who feels uncomfortable with it.

Everyone is having fun, and so far no one refused a little peck to the cheek. It's not the magical kiss Lance has dreamed of, but he's having fun - and so is everyone else. Just earlier Lance was surprised by Allura who dropped a cute kiss to his cheek as she passed by and thanked him for keeping up the lively atmosphere.

And then there was Shiro. Shiro who had stepped under the mistletoe and loudly cleared his throat. He just stood there, arms crossed and a challenging smile on his face as Lance stared at him - cheeks too hot for his own liking. Lance swallowed, and rose to his tip-toes to press a quick kiss to the corner of Shiro's lips. And Shiro - beautiful Shiro - had laughed and pulled Lance in for a bear-hug, planting a firm kiss on his forehead that made Lance screech with laughter and embarrassment.

"I think by now you kissed everyone at this party," Hunk chuckles as Pidge rubs her face with her sleeve.

Lance opens his mouth, the answer already on the tip of his tongue, when his gaze falls on a mop of black hair.

Not everyone, Lance thinks, and his heart skips a beat when he sees Keith, struggling to find a path through the crowd. Keith glares at the girl who bumped into him, and she raises her hands in an apologizing manner. It makes Lance snort in amusement - he knows that Keith isn't mad at her, he's just annoyed by crowds. It took Lance a while to decipher the various looks of grumpiness on Keith's face but by now he has all of them cataloged.

"Yeah, don't you wanna take a break or - I don't know - sit down or something?" Pidge says and Lance's attention snaps back to the conversation in front of him.

"Actually, I really need to pee," he laughs, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. Pidge says something and shakes her head, but all of Lance's senses zero in on Keith who just spotted them. A small smile spreads on his lips as their eyes meet and Lance's stomach flips, releasing an army of butterflies with the motion.

"Oh, Keith!" Pidge exclaims when she sees him. "I didn't think you'd show up!" she says loudly and steps forward to meet him halfway.

Lance rips his eyes from the happy and warm expression on Keith's face as he greets Pidge when Hunk presses his sharp elbow into his side.

"Keith is coming over here, are you ready? Do you need chap stick?" Hunk taunts, a wide teasing grin on his lips, and Lance's cheeks start burning.

"Shut up!" he hisses, and pushes his own elbow into Hunk's side who doesn't seem fazed by it at all. Instead, he throws his head back with a laugh so loud and deep in draws everyone's attention.

"What's so funny?"

Keith's voice makes Lance's heart leap up into his throat, and it's beating a mile per minute when he turns around to look into Keith's beautiful dumb face.

"Your sweater," Lance scoffs.

Keith's smile drops, and he looks down at himself in confusion.

"What about it?"

"I think it's cute," Hunk says.
