Lance and Romelle enthusing abt Keith and Allura to each other?? (Mayhaps a side of the team lowkey thinking they're dating?)

OHHHHH miscommunications

Also this is my first work ft Allura and Romelle <3

-----

“Blue paladin, may I bother you?” Romelle poked her head in Lance’s room, wearing a nervous expression.

Lance looked up at her, placing his tablet off to the side of his bed. “What's up?” He tried to ignore how confused he sounded, but he hadn’t ever spoken to her one on one before; let alone in his room.

She stepped more into his room, letting the door close behind her. “I want to,” she paused, closing her hands into a fist before releasing them. “May I ask you something?”

“Uh...sure?” Lance tried to ignore the anxiety that was building in his gut.

“Do you...do you have feelings for the Princess?”

Lance stared at the other woman, not missing how red her face was and how she refused to meet his eyes. “Like...romantic feelings?”

She gave a stiff nod, seeming to be scared of his answer.

“No. Well, I used to but she’s more of a big sister to me now. Plus I like someone else.”

All the stress that Romelle was holding in her body deflated at his words and she released a sigh. “Oh thank the universe.”

Lance blinked at her, “why did you ask?”

Her face turned a deep shade of red, “no reason I just...um...I wasn’t sure...”

Lance’s mouth fell open, “you like the princess?!?!”

She rushed forward, placing her hands over his mouth, “please no so loud.”

He pulled his head back some, shock still flowing in his veins, “you like Allura?” He lowered his voice into a harsh whisper.

She nodded, “I do. But I didn’t want to step on your toes if you liked her.”

Lance shook his head, “no no I like Keith.”

Now it was her turn to look at him with a wide expression. “The red paladin?!”

Lance nodded, “yes.”

Romelle moved to sit down next to him, “so I like the princess and you like your teammate.”

“Yeah.”

A small laugh bubbled from her chest, “we are disasters aren't we?”

“Yeah, but we need to stick together.”

That was the first night of many. The first night of Romelle going into Lance’s room to gush about Allura. Ramble about how she was able to braid her hair today and how soft it was between her fingers. Or how Allura smiled at her and laughed and Romelle had to leave the room since her marks were glowing.

Lance would do the same regarding Keith. How his eyes were mini galaxies and Lance would stare at them all day if he could. How rough his voice sounded first thing in the morning. How good he looked when he trained.

Before either of them knew it, you couldn’t have Lance without Romelle or vice versa.

---

“Lance!!” Romelle stormed into the common room, not paying any attention to the others sitting on the couch with him. “I need to talk to you right now.” She crossed her arms, looking at him with an expression that meant she just witness Allura do something that made her heart pound.

Lance stood from the couch, “okay.” He quickly walked over to her and they disappeared out of the room; unaware of the team's stares.

As soon as Lance’s bedroom door closed Romelle exploded in a fit of giggles. “SHE SAID I LOOKED NICE!!!!”

Lance smiled at her, letting her hug him and jump up and down. “What did you say?”

Romelle released herself from her friend, “I told her thank you and went to find you.”

Lance sighed, “Elle, you need to compliment her back. Let her know you’re interested.”

She furrowed her eyebrows at him, “I will when you start flirting with the red paladin.”

Lance frowned, “touché.”

---

Lance thought he was going to be sick, his knees shook under his weight.

“He’ll be okay. You got him back just in time my boy.” Coran patted his shoulder, all eyes on Keith in a healing pod.

Lance tried to nod but he felt like he couldn’t breathe, was his armor always this tight?

“Lance?” Romelle reached out and grabbed his arm.

He met her eyes and with a knowing expression she pulled him from the room; not bothering to meet the team member's eyes. The walk to her room took an eternity and as soon as her bedroom door hissed closed a sob was ripped from Lance’s chest.

She pulled him in for a crushing hug, seeming unfazed by the crimson color that was smearing on her dress from his chest plate.

“He could have died.” Lance clung to her, letting his emotions spill out. “if I was a minute later he would have died.”

“Shhh I know. It’s okay. He’s okay.”

Lance pulled her closer, if that was even possible, “I love him so much I can’t lose him.”

Romelle hummed, “I know Lance. I know you do.”

---

Keith was released from the pod into a quiet room, yet Allura was there to catch him. “Welcome back Keith.” She helped him sit down on the steps, taking a seat right next to him. “How do you feel?”

Keith rubbed his eyes, the pods always made him feel hazy. “I’ll feel better soon.” He looked around the empty room. “Where’s Lance?” He tried to ignore the ache in his chest, but Lance was always there when he got out of a pod. Even if he was sleeping off to the side he was always there.

Allura sighed, her eyes burning a hole in the floor, “with Romelle.”

“Oh.” Keith joined her staring. “Are they like a thing or something?”

Allura took a sharp breath before releasing it slowly. “It appears so.”

Keith closed his eyes, he was always worried he would lose Lance to someone else. That he wouldn’t keep his attention long enough to win him over. “As long as they’re happy or whatever.”

Allura gave a stiff nod, “sure.”

Keith looked over at her, “you don’t seem very happy.”

Allura cleared her throat, “I may have feelings for one of them. Romantic feelings.”

Keith released a dry chuckle, “Lance?”

Allura shook her head, “not him.”

Keith blinked, oh. “I didn’t know you liked girls.”

Allura shrugged, “on Altea we don’t have labels like you on earth do. We like who we like no matter the gender.”

“Some people on Earth are like that too.”

Allura nodded. They sat in silence for a bit, before Allura spoke again. “I feel like I missed my chance. I thought I was flirting with her but every time I complimented her she would dash off and find Lance. I suppose she likes him.”

Keith bumped her shoulder with his, “if it makes you feel any better I didn’t win Lance over.”

Allura released a wet laugh, wiping her eyes quickly. “We are a mess aren’t we.”

Keith nodded, “yeah we are.”

---

It took a month before the air was finally clear and the truth was revealed. Romelle was the first one, cornering Allura in her bedroom, her face flushed with emotion, her hands sweating with anticipation and nerves.

“Princess, I hope this isn’t too forward but I have romantic feelings for you and I would like to date you on a date. With just you and me...a romantic gesture.”

Allura felt her own face burn, confusion plaguing her mind. “Did you and Lance break up?” She gave her a remorseful frown.

Romelle tilted her head in confusion, “break up? What?! Lance and I were never dating.”

Allura raised her eyebrows, “you weren’t? But you two are always together.”

Romelle shook her head, “no no no. We are just friends. Strictly platonic friends.”

“Oh...so you like me?”

Romelle smiled, “wasn’t that obvious?”

Allura rolled her eyes in a friendly manner, “obviously not.” She reached out and gently grasped the other woman's hand, “so you want to go on a date?”

Romelle knew her marks were glowing and she squeezed Allura’s hand, “I would very much like that.”

---

Lance walked down the hallway towards the training deck, mumbling words under his breath. “Hey Keith, I like you and I was wondering if you wanted to date-go on a date. With me. Just the two of us.”

He shook his head, trying again, “Hey Keith I want to kiss you till I can’t breathe.”

He shook his head again. He and Romelle decided it was time to ask their respective crushes and Lance said he would when she asked Allura. He didn’t expect her to leave his room and immediately head to Allura’s.

He stopped at the entrance to the training room, his eyes following Keith as he swung at the training bots.

Telling Keith his feelings was already going to be hard enough, but telling Keith post-training? His knees were shaking a bit.

Keith looked over at him, “end training sequence!” The bots fell to the ground, “what’s going on?” He walked over to his watch pouch, using his shirt to wipe his face from sweat.

Lance cleared his throat, “I um...wanted to ask you something.”

Keith gave him a confused look, “okay.”

Lance took a deep breath, “I like you.”

Keith tilted his head slightly, “that wasn’t a question.”

Lance fought back a groan, “my point still stands.”

Keith took a sip from his pouch, “does Romelle know?”

Lance nodded, “yeah she told me to tell you.”

“Oh,” Keith’s eyes scanned the room, looking at the shutdown bots. “So what does that mean for you two?”

“Me and who?”

“You and Romelle? She’s your girlfriend right?”

Lance didn’t miss how Keith spit out those words like they burned his tongue. “No. She’s not my girlfriend.”

“So she’s your ex?”

Lance shook his head, “no. She and I never dated.”

Keith looked at him with confusion, “you two never dated?”

“Correct.”

“But...you are always together, whispering, being...coupley.”

“Because we needed someone to gush to about you! Well she gushed about Allura and I gushed about you- you get the picture!”

“Oh,” Keith looked down at his shoes, “so you like me.”

“Yes. Mullet and all.”

Keith found a smile on his face, “I don’t have a mullet.” He looked up, meeting Lance’s eyes.

Lance lifted his hand and touch the end of Keith's hair, “hmm I think it’s a mullet.”

“But you still like it,” Keith inched closer.

“Yeah...because it’s yours.” Lance moved slightly closer.

Keith was lost in those blue eyes, he didn’t even realize how close they were until Lance's lips brushed over his, slowly applying pressure; then Keith let his eyes close.
