#The entire time; he's kinda just 'AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH' inside

[xiindomitable]

         Totally unoriginal idea, but the idea of Hawks being aggressively introverted and forced to customer service his way through life since the Hero Commission came into his life is amusing to me.

#//To me; also an introvert #//Can you imagine it? #//He's all smiley and shit while talking to people #//But half the time his internal monologue is 'shut up'; 'you're too loud'; 'my god; what the fuck'; 'don't touch meEEEEE-' #;mun has spoken #//Part of the reason he wants to be in the 20s ranks is bc they don't get bothered too much with appearances #//Most days; all he wants is to just go home; even be IGNORED #//Gets asked to appear at all sorts of things and his gut instinct is to say FUCK NO #//But bc of the Hero Commission and the sake of appearances; he smiles all bright and says 'HELL YEAH' #//The entire time; he's kinda just 'AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH' inside #//Unless something interesting or someone he knows is there #//It's easier to bear #//He has a hectic day and when he comes home to his place; he just dives into bed and gets his lil' plushy #'Endy-kun; you're the only one that gets me' #hc; hawks #//He chose Toko bc he's also so chill lmao #//'I can't get the quiet Shoto-kun; so who can I get that won't fangirl over m--HOLY SHIT; IS THAT A BIRB?!' #//He's running on fumes all day every day; but if he meets/does something particularly riveting #//Talk about a recharge #//Spending a day with Endeavor was a dream come true up until the nomu attack #//And even then he sees an upside in having earned his respect; friendship; and concern #//Did an internal Snoopy happy dance up until meeting Dabi ruined it #//Tokoyami and Endeavor were probably the first PEOPLE to actually make him feel as if his social battery wasn't draining #//Rather; spending time and talking to either actually brightens up his mood and help him 'recharge' #//Idk; I have lots of thoughts about it #//He was said to be a real quite and reserved child compared to how he is now #//Though that could just be the result of how he was raised #//Idk

Kiss Prompt #26!!! Planceeeee UwU

MY FIRST EVER REQUEST!! Thank you so much Anon! Hope you enjoy!

#26: Jealous Kiss

Canon-verse. Lance’s POV. Post Season 7. ~1200 words.

Lance hated himself a little bit.

He hadthought he was doing really well. He had found his place on the team and feltmore valuable than ever being Keith’s right hand and the established sharpshooter.He had even come to terms with the fact that Allura would never love him in thesame way he loved her, and after coming to that realization, his feeling hadstarted to wane.

He had hisfamily back, and was actively involved in both the salvation and restoration ofhis home planet. He was the hero he had always wanted to be.

But as hewatched Pidge and James Griffin share lunch in the Garrison lab (something evenhe knew wasn’t allowed), he felt the little greenmonster start to thrash in his chest again and hated himself a little bit more.

He had neverthought of himself as someone who was the type to want something that theycouldn’t have, but he figured that he had never come across something that could have been his, but was now out of reach.

It wasn’tlike Pidge and James were even dating! They were just friends who had a lot ofcommon ground, and lots of stuff to talk about, and similar worldviews… Lancewas sure they were be dating soon if he didn’t do something about it.

The questionwas: what could he do about it? It would have been easy enough to be petty andmean to him… If the guy hadn’t ended up being kinda likable in the end. Besides, he knew that James was also good friends with Veronica, and Lance definitely wasn’t planning on burning any bridges with his newly recovered family anytime soon. There was also the small fact that Hunk and Keith could see right through him.

Hunk hadrealized that Lance was jealous of Pidge’s quality time with James before Lancedid himself. They had all been in the cafeteria, eating their lunch, when Pidge, who was sitting across from Lance, started trading food items with James. He traded his peanut butter cookie for her yogurt cup, and she traded her extra corn dog for his fried okra. They were giggling and fake arguing throughout the whole exchange, and it all looked so much like flirting as they swatted each others’ hands away from the food they wanted to keep that Lance could feel the jealousy consuming him. At the time he hadn’t recognized it, but Hunk had, and Lance still remembered the sly look the robust man had given him over the edge of his juice box. 

That experience had been especially humiliating because after the whole exchange, Lance had tried to trade her his peanut butter cookie as well. “No thanks.” she had said, although she did blush heavily. Lance still wasn’t sure what that was about. 

And once Lance had figured it out, it wasn’t long before Keith hadsomehow found out. Lance was still trying to figure out who to blame for that. Now the two were constantly teasing him about how much heloved Pidge, and singing that silly childhood rhyme, “Lance and Pidge, sittingin a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” Sometimes they even made harmonies, and at one point performed a fully choreographed dramatic interpretation which they somehow dragged Coran into. 

Needless tosay, it was definitely starting to grate on Lance’s nerves.

He didn’teven like her like that… Did he? He had never really considered Pidge as aromantic option before the given situation, and that only caused him to kickhimself even more because of course she was an option. She was beautiful, andfunny, and loved video games, and her family, and could hand him his own ass on a platter and he would say thank you, and… Quiznack. He liked her a lot.

This went on for weeks, with Lance pining after Pidge, having just realized that he fell forher at some point, while Pidge and James only got closer. Lance started seeingless and less of Pidge, until the only times he was guaranteed to see her weretheir scheduled game nights with the old Mercury Gameflux they had bought atthe space mall by stealing coins from the wishing fountain. Thinking back on itnow, Lance realized that could have easily been considered a date. He wonderedif Pidge had ever thought of it that way.

One nightduring their traditional weekly game nights, Pidge was kicking his butt atKillbot Phantasm I, as usual. At the same time, almost as if she was showingoff, she was talking his ear off about the new enhancements that her and Jameshad been working on for the MFE fighter planes. Lance felt his agitation grow slowlyevery time she mentioned his name, and when she transitioned from talking aboutthe professional aspect of their relationship to a funny story he had told her,Lance couldn’t take it any longer. He pressed pause on the game.

“And thenLeifsdottir was like… Hey! Why’d you pause the game?” She whipped her headaround to look at him with a surprised and slightly angry expression.

“Pidge? Am Iyour best friend?”

Pidge blinkedowlishly at him, her face aglow from the light of the screen in front of them, and she was obviously surprised by his question, “Well, best friend is a strong title, Lance.” He thought hemight have seen a hint of red on her face, but he couldn’t be entirely surewith the strange lighting. Plus, what reason would she have to blush? “You’redefinitely one of my best friends, but I’m also really close withHunk and Keith… Allura’s starting to make her way up there too. Plus I’mstarting to get really close with James…”

To this dayLance isn’t entirely sure what possessed him, but when Pidge mentioned freakingJames Griffin in the running for who could be her best friend,he lost it, feeling himself go green with envy and red with ragesimultaneously. He jerked forward, totally catching Pidge off guard and cuttingher off mid sentence (which she would most definitely chew him out for later).He grabbed her by the face and kissed her.

…

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

There was nothingbut screaming inside of his head. Screaming because why would you do that you idiot?Screaming because why is she not responding? Am I doing something wrong?Screaming because it felt so very amazing to be kissing Pidge.

Lance wasabout to pull back and try to save face when Pidge finally responded, snakingher hands up his chest and gently moving her lips against his. They sighedalmost simultaneously in bliss.

When theyfinally broke apart, they were both breathing a little heavily, despite thefact that the kiss hadn’t actually lasted long enough for them to be short ofbreath. Pidge was smiling up at him, and Lance felt the corners of his mouthturn up just at the sight of her smile.

“Pidge?”Lance whispered, and she hummed contentedly in response, “Tell me I’ll alwaysbe your best friend.”

Pidge lookeddazed for a second or so, before she raised an eyebrow teasingly. Lance felt his heart skip a beat at her expression, “I don’t know, Lance. How manybest friends do you know who have impromptu make-out sessions during gamenight?”
