[Kingdom Hearts] Occupational Hazard
Summary: By far, Ven’s got the most boring job at the flower shop; the cashier. Sitting day in and day out for someone to browse along the rows of flowers and gardening tools, then probably walk right out again. Sometimes an interesting thing would happen- but they were few and far between. [flower shop AU focused on UX kids][Part 6 in a series of oneshots][VenxOC][EphemerxOC/F!Player]

Ven thought about having children exactly once before. It had been a really random thought too. What made him space out that day? Had he been preparing for a test, or was it just another slow day at the flower shop? He hated that he had daydreamed about it enough that he knew exactly what kind of kid he wanted. (A girl, by the way- with the rest depending on if he could convince his ideal lady of being with him.) Either way, seeing Ephemer’s 19 month old son brought about feelings of wanting to be a father one day, while also making him glad that he wasn’t.
Furthermore, he wasn’t used to Ephemer being dressed to the nines either. The teen couldn’t help but stare at his coworker as Ephemer handed off various baby supplies to Skuld. It was a weird juxtaposition seeing Ephemer in a well pressed suit, and passing a wrinkled and well worn duffle bag to Skuld.
“There should be more than enough diapers to cover any accidents he’ll have in the next few hours.” Ephemer told Skuld. “Anora insisted we keep him from eating the foods that make him super gassy, just in case. She’s a smart one, that Anora. There’s a reason why she’s my wife.”
“Don’t have to convince me.” Skuld snorted. “Don’t know why you’re so dressed up for a night to the movies. We all know you two are going to be making out in the back of the car by the end of the night.”
Ephemer’s face immediately went up in a deep scarlet. He let out a sheepish laugh as he scratched the back of his neck. Skuld just laughed at him.
“Luca will be safe with me,” she then told him. “We’ve got a supply truck coming around in another hour or so, Thursdays are usually kinda dead anyway, and Ven’ll be here manning the main front. The next four hours will go by quickly.”
“I knew he’d be safe.” Ephemer laughed, albeit somewhat forced. “It’s how often you’ll be actually looking after him. You’re the one babysitting, and you’re still at work.”
Skuld gave Ephemer a rather dry laugh of her own before telling him, “I can do both.”
At Ephemer’s skeptic raise of his eyebrow, Skuld went on to say, “I will. After the truck gets here, my attention will be on nothing else.”
“Right…” Ephemer mused. He gave a shake of his head before getting down to Luca’s height. His son had been politely standing next to him while the old friends talked. Luca seemed to have understanding of what was going on- Ven just couldn’t get over those large blue-grey eyes. They just… stared between Ephemer and Skuld with severe inquisition. It almost made Luca look a good three or so years older. So young and yet so serious looking…
(Oh no, now Ven wanted to ask Brain if there were any surviving photos of Sabrina as a baby. She would hate knowing that he saw them, but he had to know. Did she always look that serious at a young age too?)
Ephemer gave his son a bright smile- one that was almost returned.
“You be good for Auntie Skuld and Venny, alright Luca?”
The toddler looked at his father for a long time, the wheels turning in his younger mind to register what was said, before giving a little nod. Ephemer grinned as he ruffled his son’s hair. He grunted slightly as he got back up (which Skuld was quick to snicker at) before starting his way out the door.
“See you two in five hours.” Ephemer waved at them.
“You told me earlier it was going to be four.” Skuld refuted, putting a hand on her hip. Ephemer just shrugged.
“You know I have a hard time keeping my hands off my wife, Skuld. And without a kid around? We’re practically kids again ourselves.”
Skuld let out a small ‘tsk’ sound and smirk. “Yeah, yeah. Get outta here. Go conceive your next child away from the flower shop for once.”
Even with his face flushing again, Ephemer gave her a playful salute before closing the door behind him. Skuld just looked at the door for a moment or so just to shake her head at him.
“Come up, Luca.” she then told the toddler, bending down a bit and extending her arms to him. “We gotta look out for the delivery guy.”
Luca gave her a glare so mean, Ven had to cough to cover up his laugh. The toddler even went into a string of sounds that could have been interpreted as sass. But he went over to Skuld, regardless. He allowed himself to be picked up by the woman, and together they disappeared into the back room. With the boss out of earshot, Ven felt free to let out the snicker he had been holding in for the past three minutes. The last thing on his mind was how Skuld would inevitably take her work at the flower shop over watching Luca. He’d figure it out soon- he just wished that peace had lasted a bit longer.
. . .
A good hour or so later, and Ven decided to make himself useful by making sure everything had a price sticker on it. No ceramic pot could go unturned without a sticker declaring its probably high ball price. Better than just sitting at the register and drifting off into who knows where until Skuld caught him.
Ven happened to notice Luca out of the corner of his eye. The toddler casually walked (or as casually as you could at 19 months, since you didn’t quite have the best balance still) out of the backroom and into the main store front. Ven slowed his movements a bit to watch Luca look over the area, then go over to a certain large vase with some faux reeds in it. It was rather amusing watching Luca plonk his little bottom down in front of it.  Ven gave a quiet snort before properly returning to his work. He almost had to stop because something new happened.
Luca started babbling at the flowers.
At least, Ven thought it still counted as babbling. Every now and again he could pick out sounds that certainly sounded like real words; like ‘same’, and ‘daddy’, and ‘kiss-shun’, and ‘mommy.’ Or maybe Ven was imagining it. Putting price tags on everything was ridiculously boring.
“Ven!” Skuld suddenly shouted from the backroom, scaring both Ven and Luca alike. “Do you see Luca?”
“Yeah.” he lazily replied. “He’s out here talking to some reeds.”
Skuld immediately left the backroom just to glare at Ven. He flinched a little at her gaze.
“Get him away from those!” she demanded. “I’m still going over what’s come in.”
Ven blinked at her, then looked over at Luca. The kid was literally doing nothing but staring at the other flowers now. He probably even had an acute awareness he was being talked about, but not being talked to. Ven turned his attention back to Skuld with a face that was trying to feign innocence.
“Why? They're edible.”
“Not when you're still able to choke on fine cut food!” his boss immediately retorted. All it did was spark a moment of defiance.
“Skuld, there are full grown adults that still choke on normal cut food. Your point is getting more moot by the moment.”
“I can't believe you and Sabrina aren't dating yet.” Skuld mumbled under her breath. “You share the same amount of… Urg. Just get Luca away from those flowers!”
Perhaps a bit too amused at his superior's frustration, Ven let out a short chortle before setting the price stickers down. Skuld only grimaced as she went to the backroom again. Still grinning, Ven walked over to Luca, finding himself bemused by the kid still, and asked without meaning any harm; “Whatcha doing there, Luca?”
The toddler immediately jumped, then looked up at Ven with wide, curious eyes. Slowly, as if he were aware he could be in trouble, Luca's little face started to break. Poor Ven was in no way prepared for the kid's wailing. He immediately flinched and covered his ears at the sound.
“You're not in trouble! You're not in trouble!” Ven quickly said, awkwardly making his way down to the floor to be at Luca's eye level. “Just gotta be careful, alright?”
But this didn't stop Luca from crying. If it was any consideration, Ven was sure the toddler didn't even hear him. Cursing under his breath, Ven looked around the flower shop for anything that could distract Luca. There were some plush toys in a display close by. Maybe one of those would work? Ven wasn’t going to leave it up to guessing. He quickly went to the display, quickly located and snatched a dolphin plush, then went back over to Luca.
“Here there buddy,” he said, bringing the plush close to Luca’s eye range. “Do you wanna cuddle buddy?”
Luca stopped crying just long enough to give the plush a glance, shove it of his eyesight, and let out a rather clear, very angry, “No!”
Ven let out a long (and very tired) sigh of defeat. Wasn't Skuld the one that was supposed to be babysitting this tiny person? Why did it feel like he was doing all the work?
But first, he had to shut Luca up.
What else could Ven distract Luca with? Better question- what did Luca even like? Was there anything in this store that could calm this kid long enough so he wasn’t the loudest sound on the block? All this crying had to be stressful for him. Heck, it was stressful for Ven! An even better question right about now was ‘where on earth is Skuld?!’ because that was rather important too. Could she really not hear Luca wailing from the backroom? Maybe he should check on her…
Luca’s crying hit a note so high pitched the Ven flinched. He turned his attention back to the kid in defeat. Unsure of what else to do, he tried to rack his brain on what Ephemer and Anora did to calm Luca down. But that was just the thing, wasn’t it? Usually Luca wasn’t whining. Ven did get an idea though. Carefully, Ven put his hand on Luca’s head, trying to mimic the way Ephemer ruffled his son’s hair. To his surprise, it actually seemed to work. Luca started to settle down little by little until he gave nothing more than a few sniffles.
“There you go, buddy.” Ven cooed, sounding like he was more addressing an angry bear than a child. “Feel better now?”
Luca rubbed his eyes before turning to Ven. It was slow to make sure Ven didn’t stop gently kneading his fingers into Luca’s hair. The toddler gave Ven a few tired blinks. Apparently crying for five minutes straight was particularly draining.
“Tell me.” Luca said to Ven, pointing to an arrangement to his left. Ven blinked. He didn’t hallucinate that sentence, right?
“Tell you what? About the flowers?”
Luca gave him a determined nod.
“But I don’t know-” Ven tried to tell him, but Luca was a smart kid. He purposely started to make his face break again, and even started a little whimper before Ven caught on. “Wait, wait, wait!” Ven quickly stammered, removing his hand from Luca’s head to throw them up in defense. “I might know some stuff. And look, I could probably look some things up on my phone too. Wouldn’t that be cool?”
Still milking his leverage over Ven , Luca wiped his eyes as he gave another nod. Ven let out a relieved sigh. It should be that hard to fake what he knew about plants, right? As Luca gave a long yawn, Ven hoped that he could probably even be able to lull the kid into sleep. Honestly, he was practically doing Skuld’s job for her.
. . .
Ephemer and Anora returned to the flower shop thirty minutes earlier than expected. They seemed to be in good spirits, so the date must have gone on well enough. Skuld was quick to hand Luca and his baby paraphernalia back to his parents.
“He didn’t give you any trouble, did he?” Ephemer asked, taking the duffle bag as Anora got their son.
“Not at all.” Skuld affirmed. “I was a bit preoccupied with the shipment that came in, so Ven helped out a bit.”
Hearing this, Ephemer and Anora looked at Skuld like she had proposed murder. Ephemer was the one who let out a forced laugh before saying,  “Skuld…? Your shift ended before I dropped Luca off, that’s why we left him with you.”
“Knew it.” Ven mumbled under his breath. The parents looked at him before returning their attention to the rather unapologetic Skuld.
“I still watched him.” she insisted. “And now I still have some work to do before heading home for the night. Ven’s shift is ending for the night, and we all know he won’t do the inventory count tonight.”
“Because at this time of night, we do it in the morning.” Ephemer told her. Skuld didn’t seem to pick up on his annoyance. Instead, she went to the backroom before anyone could stop her.
Ephemer let out a long sigh of exhaustion. He should have known better, honestly. He looked at Anora and grinned. It was meant as a signal for them to head out, but Anora had other plans. She carefully nudged Ephemer, giving him a small look that he could read well. Ephemer nodded before digging into his wallet to find a twenty dollar bill.
“Here Ven, take this,” he offered. Ven just looked back at him with the most bewildered look. Ephemer saw it and just laughed. “We all know how Skuld gets when she doesn’t leave work. I’ll come in on my next shift with another twenty for you.”
“But I don’t-” Ven tried to argue, but it was Anora who stepped up to place a gentle hand on Ventus’s elbow. The teen froze right then and there. It was honestly the more polite thing to do- Anora didn’t really have much of a grip on him.
“Thank you for watching Luca tonight.” she carefully told him- for a moment it made him wonder if she thought she was to blame for some reason. “If Ephemer doesn’t pay you back, I will. And that’s a promise.”
“O-oh no, ma’am.” Ven quickly stuttered out. “It’s fine! Honest! It wasn’t even a big deal. Nah. Not really. Luca’s a pretty cool kid when you sit down and play with him. Pretty smart too. Nothing to sweat about. Hardly interrupted anything. Really.”
Anora offered a polite smile, although Ven felt guilty under it all the same.
“See you later, Ven!” Ephemer waved as the family left the shop. Ven waved back, still feeling guilty from Anora’s generosity. Luca watched Ven from other his mother’s shoulder- the expression was particularly hard to decipher. Ven just hoped it was one of respect. That little brat better not forget what Ven did for him today.
“Definitely having a girl.” Ven mumbled under his breath before clocking out for the day.

HIGH SCHOOL AU
Just Pretend by dragon_temeraire
Stiles tells his dad he has a boyfriend. The problem is, he doesn’t actually have one.
Something New Is Going to Happen by dragon_temeraire
Stiles accidentally discovers that their school mascot is super cute.
All the broken hearts in the world still beat by dragon_temeraire
Stiles totally needs to make Lydia Martin jealous. Yeah. And his best chance is to convince star lacrosse player Derek Hale to (fake) date him.
Smile On The Sidelines by clotpolesonly
Derek was not pining.
Not to say that he didn’t miss Stiles, didn’t want to be with him at that moment (or literally any moment, to be quite honest), but he wasn’t one of those obnoxious clingy people who lost track of the world as soon his boyfriend was out of his sight.
It was just a basketball game anyway.
“Five Days in Detention” (A Future Song by Stiles Stilinski) by alisvolatpropiis
It’s still preseason, sure, but he needs to be practicing. He led the team to the State semifinals last year, and he’s determined to not only make it to the finals this year, but to win the title. He should be on the field right now, practicing his play calls and prepping for next week’s season opener against Saint Pius.
And he can’t do that if he’s wasting his time in detention with these losers. There are a couple of burnouts lazing over some seats by the window, one kid with his face on a desk, hood over his head, and a few Goth kids are sitting in the back corner, looking surly and morose. Maybe you wouldn’t be so miserable if you didn’t listen to such shitty music, he thinks, turning towards his usual seat in the back of the room.
He pauses for the briefest of moments when he sees who’s already sitting there, in the second-to-last row, black-clad limbs spread out, acoustic guitar in his lap, long fingers casually plucking at the strings.
Stiles Stilinski.
How to Woo Your Local Omega by alocalband
Stiles knows a pity gift when he sees one. Mostly because that’s all he’s ever gotten from anyone since the moment he hit puberty.
Five Times Derek Literally Falls for Stiles (and One Time… They Both Fall) by myhomeboy_stilinski
Five times Derek is a failwolf and literally falls for Stiles Stilinski.And one time they fall together.
Warning: A little bit cracky and contains meddling.
Try Again by dragon_temeraire
Derek has to egg a house to be part of the popular group. Too bad the house ends up being the Sheriff’s.
Sleeping Next To You Is Like Magic by LadyDrace
Stiles and Derek meet the summer before senior year. Stiles can’t sleep, Derek helps with that, and there’s a lot less cuddling and a lot more emotional crises than you’d think.
Or:
Stiles’ feelings happen so much, and learning how to deal with them takes him a little while. Good thing Derek is happy to wait.
Shut Up And Dance With Me by maiNuoire
Stiles has been in love with Derek forever. Senior Prom feels like his last chance to do something about it, but he’s a bundle of nerves. And then, inspiration strikes.
made from the heart by bleep0bleep
Derek has been crushing on Stiles for awhile, and thinks maybe this Christmas season he’ll tell him how he feels. He’s got a great present too, except when Stiles gives him a thoughtful handmade present, Derek is pretty much screwed.
~
Stiles smiles at Derek. “It was just a nice thought, you know? I just think gifts that people take their time to make are just so sweet.”“Handmade,” Derek says faintly.
Like James Dean, Only Sadder by 42hrb
The star of the Beacon Hills High School baseball team and Beacon Hills resident bad boy probably have nothing in common, right?
atom to atom by jadore_hale
“So, you’re telling me that you hate Derek so much that you wouldn’t leap at the chance to jump his bones?”
“That’s different!” Stiles cried.
“How exactly?”
“Because unfortunately for me, Derek’s hotter than the Earth’s mantle. All we need is one rough hate-fuck— Preferably in the chem lab, role-playing sexy chemist while he bends me over one of the tables—and I’ll get him out of my system. That’s as far as our relationship will ever go.”
Stiles glanced across the cafeteria to where Derek was still fail-eating his lunch and sighed so put out.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go make fun of Derek eating organic baby carrots.”
don’t go breakin’ my heart [i couldn’t if i tried] by crossroadswrite
Contrary to popular belief, Derek Hale – co-captain of the basketball team and AP student who volunteers in the library – isn’t actually as smooth as people might think.
In a Straight Line Down by standinginanicedress
“So you want to go to Prom with me just so you can get a plastic crown and a fifty dollar gift card to Outback Steakhouse.”
Stiles sets his jaw. He wants to go to prom with Derek because he wants to go to prom with Derek. But, of course, he’s stubborn and prideful and can’t admit to Derek how it’s barely been twelve hours since they officially broke up and he’s already barely handling it as it is, so he just raises his chin in the air and says, “yes.”
we should just kiss (like real people do) by i_am_girlfriday
Stiles is the social zero of the sophomore class. Derek is the much cooler junior who befriends Stiles anyway.
Shut Me Down by lazykisses
Even when Derek’s an asshole, which is 75% of the time (90% on a rainy day), with his deadpan humor and cocky eyebrows and his annoyingly vague text messages (like that one time Stiles asked him if he’d studied for Chemistry and Derek replied with “hn”. What the hell does ‘hn’ even mean?), Stiles doesn’t mind. And that kinda scares him.
It’s Too Early For This by thepsychicclam
Derek loves his job at the coffee shop, especially because Stiles comes in for coffee before early Saturday morning lacrosse practices. The problem is that Derek is too shy to do anything about his crush, and the situation is not helped by the rivalry between the basketball and lacrosse teams.
Hotsky to Trotsky by paintedrecs
Derek had his future mapped out: there’d be graduation, followed by college, followed by (he hoped) a good grad school, then a career as a professor whose students didn’t spend their time flicking paper footballs at each other and obsessing over their dating lives. He had good friends, a good family, and no time to focus on distractions like high school gossip or relationships.
He hadn’t factored Stiles Stilinski - lacrosse player, class clown, part of the popular crowd, currently spending his entire day staring at Derek and smiling - into his plans.
more by bibliosexual
It starts when Derek is sitting in study hall and the guy ahead of him–-Stiles something, the Polish kid with all the moles–-mutters, “Ugh, what’s sixty percent of fifty-five?”
“Thirty-three,” Derek says without having to think about it. He’s always been good at math.
“Oh, thanks, dude,” Stiles says. “I forgot my calculator, and Mr. Harris is a dick who won’t let me go get it.”
“No problem,” Derek says.
He assumes that’s it, that’s the end of the conversation, but Stiles catches up to him in the hall after class, scuffs his sneaker against the floor and says, “Hey, so, you’re really good at math. Like, you solved that in your head, right? No calculator?“
"Yeah,” Derek says, and Stiles bites his lip, asks, “Do you maybe wanna study with me later, in the library?”
Derek does.
i wanna dance with somebody (who loves me) by bleep0bleep
Derek gets in an accident and loses a few years of his memory; suddenly everything is different— he’s not a freshman loser anymore, but a popular senior, captain of the basketball team, a shoo-in for prom king, too, and he should have everything he’s ever wanted— except he doesn’t seem to be friends with Stiles anymore.
Bro-lentine’s Day by WhoNatural
It’s actually pretty cool that Derek came back to school after a summer eating spinach and lifting small trains or whatever to become a guardian angel to the easy targets of BHHS.
Don’t Judge a Derek By His Cover by captaintinymite
Stiles doesn’t care about the rumors surrounding Beacon Hills High School’s resident bad boy, Derek Hale. In fact, he thinks the rumors are total crap. Of course, being secretly in love with someone has a way of clouding one’s judgment.
However, he knew for a fact that Derek liked books. So when the two paired up for a final English project, he was excited (but also a little terrified).
But you know what they say…never judge a book by its cover. The same goes for people.
Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon by secondstar
Being a teenager sucks. Being a werewolf teenager sucks even more. With a life full of holding back who he really is, not having any privacy whatsoever, and the seemingly sudden appearance of one Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale’s life just got a whole lot harder.
(I Hate to Be) The One to Ruin the Night by wishingonalightningbolt
High school senior Derek Hale only has one goal for the rest of his time left at BHHS: avoid Stiles Stilinski. He’s wreaked enough havoc as it is, having spent all summer breaking Derek’s heart. Everything would be better for both of them if they just never saw each other again.
-0-
Derek doesn’t plan on ever getting mixed up with Scott McCall and his little gang of idiot friends. In fact, if he knew to avoid it, he would, but he guesses he just isn’t smart enough. Unfortunate, considering the consequences.
John Hughes Did Not Direct My Life by nascentgalaxies
Stiles and Derek are childhood friends who drifted apart. When Stiles joins the lacrosse team against his will, the universe (with a little help from Laura and Lydia) chooses to push them back together.
But Then What... by Stoney
Senior year is almost over, and all Stiles needs to do is keep his head down to survive. A teacher calls in a favor, leaving him stuck tutoring Derek Hale, one of the most popular jocks in school and a member of a group of douchecanoes who have bullied Stiles for years. He's someone Stiles totally hates. Totally. Like, doesn't like him even a little bit. DEFINITELY isn't attracted to him.
Except that is a total lie. Fuck his life, seriously.
I know you love and hate me too by trilliastra
“Right.” Derek coughs and Stiles knows he realized his mistake. Good – he thinks, maybe next time he'll learn not to make Stiles fall in love with him. “Hum – we are almost finishing here, John.”
“I'll be in my bedroom.” Stiles says. “And his first name is Sheriff!”
Fucking Derek Hale.
Wait For It by otatop
Funny, how you can exist adjacent to someone through elementary, middle, and high school and not really know them. Funny, how Stiles had always had some strange crush on Derek without actually being his friend.
It’s like he’s all that by MemeKon
Stiles is different. Stiles is not nice under any definition of the word, he’s such an asshole. Sure, he’s a good guy deep down, he punched Jackson square in the jaw when he mocked the McCall kid for an asthma attack that one time, and Derek knows he helped Erica Reyes get that video of her seizure taken down, but he’s so—
"Fuck off, Derek." Stiles tells him without sparing him a glance when Derek sits next to him on chemistry. "I’m not up to play She’s All That with you, dude."
-yeah.
(School crushes are so complicated.)
The Scheming Rhymes of Romance by sofonisba_found
Stiles currently was, and had been, Derek's poetic muse for years. Not that Stiles was really all that aware of that fact.
But when Stiles does find out about it their senior year of high school, he's pretty okay with it.
Alright, so he is definitely a lot more than okay with it.
A story in which Derek writes copious amounts of poetry, Stiles is very appreciative of said poetry as well as Derek's smile, and all of their friends are oddly and extremely invested in seeing these two get their act together.
Easy Alpha by interropunct
Easy A/Teen Wolf AU. Wherein, Derek Hale is the high school hussy, Jackson and Scott really need to learn to use their inside voices. And, contrary to popular belief, everyone is still a virgin.

Hide and Seek...? Part 1
Word count: 2.5k
Genre: Fluff
Characters: Primarily Keith and Lance
Themes: ‘Ler!Lance, ticklish!Keith, ticklish!Lance
I know this is a super cliche thing but i’m a sucker for this kind of scenario...
Pidge just had to tell Allura what hide & seek was. And naturally, they had all managed to get together a massive ship-wide game. The problem was that with only 7 players and a whole ship that was also a massive castle, this game was going to take forever.
Especially since Keith had gotten himself stuck trying to get into the air ducts.
He had tried to worm his way in at an angle that was just wrong enough to get his shoulders stuck, and due to the fact he was in a corner he couldn’t just pull himself out using any traction from his feet on the floor. Not that there was any traction to be found, these floors were pure polished… something. Something smooth and from Altea.
Basically, he was stuck until someone found him.
And the fact that Lance was the one seeking worried him.
Why should he be worried? Wouldn’t Lance just pull him out? He tried to reason with himself and calm down. Surely, the blue paladin didn’t remember that one time in the garrison… no that wouldn’t stick in his mind… right?
He started kicking and trying even harder to push himself out somehow, but to no avail. He didn’t budge. Don’t panic…
He heard footsteps approaching in the hallway.
Don’t panic…
He felt butterflies swarm in his stomach. His arms were pinned at his sides, and he’d made it in just past his elbows so his arms were totally immobile aside from his hands. He couldn’t move his forearms to grab the wall and push himself out.
He was really and truly stuck.
The footsteps kept going past as his breath hitched in his throat, then was let out in a relieved sigh. They echoed down the hall, and almost before they faded the walker started humming.
Yeah, it was Lance. But he was moving on past him. Good. And an established house rule was that after getting caught by the seeker you had to help them. So if he passed Keith by, then chances were high that by the time he came back he’d have at least someone else with him. Keith hoped that if there was someone else with Lance, then he wouldn’t do anything. Lance wouldn’t embarrass him that bad, right? No, he wouldn’t. Keith hoped he wouldn’t. Maybe he didn’t even remember. He wouldn’t remember.
Wow, was Keith filled with regret.
Deep breaths. Everything was fine. What’s the worst thing Lance would do, honestly?
Nothing bad, that’s the answer. He wouldn’t hurt Keith. Even if he did get back at him, it wouldn’t hurt…
Okay, the red paladin had to chuckle at that. He felt himself begin to relax as he did so. Lance really would probably just pull him out. He was probably just claustrophobic, which would explain the freak-out he had just before.
Deep breaths, and his head stopped spinning. Everything was fine. He was stuck, but as soon as someone else found him, they’d pull him free. Even if it was Lance.
Sure enough, footsteps returned outside the door, and he heard the woosh as it opened. Lance was humming again, and he was by himself. Keith heard a snort from the doorway as the blue paladin’s eyes found him sticking out of the corner.
“So, it looks like I caught you,” he laughed, strolling over to where Keith’s legs were sprawled out on the floor. Keith’s heart was back in his throat, but he dared not make a sound. Completely unaware, Lance plopped down crossed-legged next to him. “I mean if you’re too busy for such ‘childish things’ then you don’t have to play,” he teased, using Keith’s words from earlier when he protested. He patted Keith’s back, and Keith tensed up despite himself, then mentally slapped himself for it. “Of course, Allura was so excited there’s no way you could’ve gotten out of it. Much like another thing you can’t get out of…” he rested his head on Keith’s back smugly, smiling largely and gloating.
Lance noticed how his friend hadn’t said anything to him yet.
“What’s up, I mean not you, clearly, but mouse got your tongue?”
Keith kicked his leg up to try to hit Lance, but missed.
That was a mistake.
Lance laughed at his futile attempt, but his laughter soon faded and he narrowed his eyes, memory sparked by the kicking leg. His laugh turned darker, and Keith felt his face turn both red and cold simultaneously.
Fuck.
“You know…” Lance began, taking his head and arm off of Keith’s back. “This situation seems a little familiar. But there’s just one…”
Yeah he definitely remembered.
“Key…”
Keith felt Lance tug his right boot off.
“Difference.”
Keith willed himself to stay still. He was on the verge of scrambling but he couldn’t show Lance he was getting to him. He thought of stuttering apologies out but knew it wouldn’t work.
“I seem to remember a similar situation, but then my end was dark and your end was anything but. You caught me off guard back then.” Another tug, and the other boot was gone. Keith was biting his cheek trying to stay still.
“Still not saying anything? I know you want to.” Lance moved down to the opening. “Oh, don’t worry…”
The next sentence plucked the second-last string of sanity from Keith’s willpower, effectively turning his blood to ice and stomach into a swarm again.
“I’ll make you.”
Keith’s face grew warm as his eyes grew wide. His heart was beating in his ears as he felt Lance sit back and pull his feet into his lap. Don’t react. Don’t react.
A finger trailed down Keith’s sock-covered sole. He knotted his brow and dug into his cheek, but his foot remained still.
Lance just chuckled again, and added two more fingers. He began moving them independently, wiggling them on Keith’s arch and his foot curled on accident, a lapse in concentration. Lance paused a moment, and Keith realized he’d been holding his breath. He let the air out, Lance hearing it.
“So that’s why you weren’t saying anything, you were trying to keep quiet!” he laughed. “Man, this is already too good.” Keith pushed his face into the metal beneath him.
Lance repositioned himself so that he was sitting on one of Keith’s legs. He took his free ankle and turned it up towards him, grabbing his toes and bending them back to stretch out his sole. The red paladin concentrated on having no resistance, but man was it hard.
When Lance tickled Keith’s stretched-out sole, his foot jerked, and Lance smiled triumphantly. “Yes!” he shouted. Keith’s determination was wearing thin with each movement of those fingers. Lance moved swiftly and caught both ankles in a headlock. He didn’t bother holding back his toes this time, he figured that it would be enough to have both feet tickled at once.
Lance began again, and Keith lasted about ten seconds before flailing his legs and losing control of them. He still didn’t laugh, that was the one thing he was determined not to let him win at now.
“Oh come on now, you still won’t laugh? Don’t hold out on me, bro.” Keith gritted his teeth out of sight, and fought the smile encroaching on his face. He wouldn’t give in.
Lance set down his feet, then crawled to his waist.
Keith heard nothing and couldn’t tell where he’d gone.
Well, until two hands attacked his hips, at least.
Keith kicked and squirmed in earnest, while trying to quiet the little huffs leaving his mouth. Lance dug in harder, and Keith gave in.
Lance cackled along with him as both of their laughs echoed throughout the room.
“Told you I’d make you laugh,” Lance chuckled down at him, moving his hands inside the vent, tickling his back under his jacket. Keith’s laughs increased in pitch, and little ‘no’s began to pop in between bursts. Keith’s face turned redder at the teasing, and he pressed it down into the metal again.
Lance drifted his hands lower to his sides, digging in along their lengths, and Keith’s laughter nearly went silent. “Too bad I can’t get to your stomach right now. I know you had fun with that. But, hey, I gotta get you out sometime, right?”
Keith tried twisting to get away from the surprisingly agile hands. This was too much… being stuck, the teasing, Lance completely and entirely. His face burned with the last sentence Lance uttered. He was trying not to remember what he did. It was just too embarrassing. But then again… clearly it didn’t go over too badly?
Keith didn’t realize he’d stopped kicking until Lance had finally stopped tickling him a few minutes later. A hand wrapped around each ankle, and the red paladin realized that they were grabbed easier than he thought. Was he really that tired out?
Actually, now that he thought about it, he wasn’t angry in the least. He was… happier than he’d expected to be?
“Okay, now let’s get you out of here,” Lance conceded, pulling him out with some resistance due to the strange angle they were at. “I feel my revenge has been carried out.”
Keith laid there on his stomach, not daring to look at him. That was… embarrassing, and there was a big smile plastered on both of their faces – Lance’s from victory and Keith’s from residual giggles that kept threatening to spill out. He focused on catching his breath.
Keith sat up, facing away from him, and pulled his boots back on. He felt humiliated, and he wasn’t even sure why.
Lance noticed. “Hey, you okay?” There was real concern in his voice, unneeded, but all very present nonetheless.
Keith was silent. Lance took it as anger, when really Keith just didn’t trust his own voice to come out in the right octave or steadily enough.
“I’m sorry, but I…” Lance was at a loss for words now. Why did he do that? Why didn’t he just tag Keith and then help him out? His face grew red as well.
Keith cleared his throat. “It’s o-okay,” he stuttered, a giggle placing itself in there, which he cringed at after.
Lance went to rub his back, but he did so too tentatively, dragging his fingertips down Keith’s spine and Keith twitched, fighting giggles again.
“You know, Keith, I didn’t know you were ticklish. I mean I figured you were, but I didn’t know just how much.” He chuckled. “And I had no idea you could giggle.”
“Shut up—” the red paladin elbowed him, fighting a smile again. “I don’t.”
Lance brought his hand up near Keith’s neck and lightly brushed the skin under his hair. Sure enough, he let out a squeak and then quickly turned and grabbed the hand, finally meeting eyes.
“Shouldn’t—” Keith cleared his throat again, trying to lower the pitch of his voice. “Shouldn’t you be looking for the others?”
Lance’s eyes widened. “Oh my god I forgot about the game!” he jumped up and began to walk towards the door, before turning back towards Keith, who was still sitting on the floor, and extending his arm to help him up.
“Thanks,” he muttered, accepting the gesture and pulling himself up. His legs were a little weak.
Lance smiled after a moment of only-kind-of-awkward eye contact. They turned to walk out and Lance slung an arm around his shoulder. “I gotta say, that little time out was worth finding your weak spots.”
Keith rolled his eyes, fighting a blush at the mention. “Yeah, and don’t forget, I know yours too.”
Lance’s eyes widened again, face and ears turning a darker shade of pink. He laughed nervously. “Yeah? Well this is over. Don’t start a war, man.”
“Yeah, that wouldn’t be a good idea.”
“’Cause you’d lose, oh you’d lose bad.”
Keith scoffed. “Is that a challenge?”
Lance laughed nervously, trying to cover the jumpiness. “N-no, I wouldn’t want to put you through that… again.”
Keith stumbled a little over his own feet. “Y-you know I could take you. If it was a fair fight.”
“Hey, you never cared about fairness when you did that to me.” He thought for a moment. “And if you’re trying to provoke me into a third round…” Keith looked away quickly, attempting, and failing, to act like he wasn’t.
“You are calling for another?”
Keith felt his ears burning as he said nothing, and just looked at the floor as they walked.
“No way…” Lance whispered. “So that’s why you tickled me when I was stuck.”
Keith closed his eyes. Yeah, Lance was right.
“You know, Keith,” Lance began casually, voice at a normal volume once again. He skittered his fingers across the red paladin’s neck. Keith scrunched his shoulders up, giggling. Lance laughed again. “I think this is the start of something great.”
Keith poked him in the side in retaliation. Lance squeaked, then narrowed his eyes at the slightly shorter paladin.
“Don’t start a war, Keith…” he warned in a low growl.
“Too late,” and Keith pounced.
---
“Where do you think they are?” Allura asked Pidge. After an hour of hiding, the other five stopped the game and came back out. They had begun wandering the halls, looking for Lance (and presumably Keith), but so far they hadn’t seen any sign of either.
“Maybe Lance got stuck somewhere, and Keith just hid really well?” Pidge answered. “It wouldn’t surprise me, he’s naturally good at evading.”
“And Lance got stuck before,” Hunk added. “That was pretty funny. Well, not for him maybe. But he sure was laughing.” He added with a chuckle.
“What happened? I’m guessing this was before I showed up?” Pidge asked.
“Yeah, this was a couple months before you, and I really don’t think Lance would want me talking about it,” he rubbed the back of his neck, smiling apologetically. “It was kind of embarrassing.” He looked around, then shielded his hand with his mouth. “Well, as it turns out… Lance is super—”
“Do you hear that?” Coran interrupted. “It sounds like Lance… and Keith?”
“Yeah, I hear it too,” Allura added. “It sounds like they’re laughing a lot.”
The other three couldn’t hear it, due to the Alteans’ sensitive hearing.
“They’re this way!” Allura shouted, walking down the hall in the direction of the sounds, the rest following.
As the other three paladins began to hear the laughs too, Hunk chuckled. “Maybe he did get stuck again.”
They came to the room Keith and Lance were in, and peered inside. They saw the missing two locked in a heated fight, but to their surprise, it was indeed a tickle fight. Lance’s hands had disappeared up Keith’s shirt, and Keith’s fingers were tickling along Lance’s neck. The two hadn’t noticed the five others standing just outside, shifting uncomfortably.
After an awkward moment between the five, Shiro decided to speak.
“Well, we should probably leave them alone… I mean I don’t want to interrupt them,” he laughed uncomfortably.
“Yeah, let’s just leave those two dorks be,” Pidge agreed, face tinged a slight pink.
As the group moved on, Keith and Lance still hadn’t noticed them in the first place. Their world had faded to just each other’s hands; smiles; laughs; pink, flushed faces; and bright eyes crinkled at the corners if not squeezed shut.
