(25) Pancakes And Makeup

                                    

                                          
Lance's P.O.V: 
                          
    I woke up, Keith still fast asleep on my chest and comfortably wrapped in my arms. I couldn't believe we were actually on Earth right now, or that he met my friends! It was embarrassing at first because of their teasing but, I'm really glad we came here. I looked towards one of the windows, the morning sunlight coming through the curtains. Maybe I'll wake him up in a bit, but for now I'll just enjoy this moment with him.
                          
   As I ran my fingers through Keith's hair, I thought about yesterday and all that had happened. Keith met my Friends, Keith revealed he was an omega, he asked me "are you courting me?" without an ounce of disgust, he shrugged when Shiro asked if we really weren't dating. I can only hope that means he isn't appalled by the idea of being with me, that I have a chance at being his mate. We're already so close, I mean we literally cuddle, hold hands, and though we haven't actually kissed each other on the lips we have kissed one another. Whether it was a forehead kiss or just a peck on the cheek, they aren't things you just do with just anyone. It'd be weird to go to sleep without him at this point. Plus.. I love doting on him.
                          
  Keith yawned and mumbled, "Good morning..~" He kept his head on my chest, probably still sleepy. "Morning, Kitten~" I said quietly, booping his nose with my index finger. "I think I smell food?..." Keith mumbled as he slowly sat up, and looked towards the door. "You probably do, Hunk cooks for the household." I replied, sitting up and looking at the clock on the nightstand, it's 9:48am. I sighed and got out of bed, Keith followed me out into the hall and into the Kitchen. Shiro waited at the table as Hunk cooked, even though he already had a huge stack of pancakes beside the stove he was waiting to eat with everyone.
                          
   "Oh guys, Matt said he'd be here soon for breakfast!" Shiro cheerfully said, I couldn't believe he already had a full face of makeup on. "Did you record a video already or something? You're all glammed up." I asked, as I sat down at the table and Keith took the seat beside me. "I did record a video, but it's getting kind of boring doing my own makeup. Ooo! Actually could I glam either of you two for a video? Better yet, why not let me glam both of you!?" Shiro suggested. "Would you like to Keith?" I asked, looking down at him. "Sure." Keith yawned. "Keith would need a beanie or something for his ears, and you'd need to put a little bit of foundation to hide the lilac tint of his skin before we started recording though." I explained, and Shiro nodded. "He can borrow one of my beanies! I have too many anyway!~ My fans miss having you on my channel Lance. I bet they'll love Keith too!~" Shiro said, quickly clapping his hands together in excitement.
                          
   Someone unlocked the front door and came in, Keith partially hid behind me. "Where is- Oh is he hiding from me? Am I that bad...?" Matt said, looking a little dejected. "Kitten, it's okay, this is Matt!" I explained, Keith seemed to relax and waved. "My apologies Matt, I'm Keith." Keith said with a gentle smile, with that Matt sat down at the table with us. "Breakfast is ready, Lance can you go wake up Pidge?" Hunk asked, bringing the heaping plate of pancakes over to the table. "Sure, I'll be right back." I  replied, and went down the hall towards the little gremlin's room. I knocked and shouted, "Pidge? Are you up?? Breakfast is ready!" 
                          
  I heard the click of the door unlock, and Pidge begrudgingly walked with me to the kitchen. "Good morning Pidgeon! Sit here!" Matt said rather excitedly, well he does like pancakes. Pidge dragged her feet and sat in between Matt and Shiro. I took my seat next to Keith, who was staring at the piece of pancake on the edge of his fork. "Hunk these are so good!~" Shiro babbled. "Thank you very much, I take pride in people enjoying my food." Hunk stated, drizzling syrup over his pancakes. Keith finally tried his pancake, and he was beaming. "This is delicious!!" Keith gushed, and continued to cut off another piece of pancake and swiftly popping it into his mouth. "If you think that's good, try it with some syrup.~" Hunk replied as he passed him the syrup. 
                          
   Keith cautiously dribbled some onto his plate and dipped a piece into it, then he nibbled on it. When his eyes lit up, I knew he was enjoying his meal immensely. Keith poured some more syrup onto his plate and put the bottle back in the middle of the table. His expression was just too darn cute as he ate his second meal on Earth. 
                          
. . . 
                          
   After breakfast we got dressed so we could get started on recording for Shiro's channel. I gave Keith some clothes to borrow for Shiro's video. I picked out a pastel blue sweatshirt which was pretty big on him, and some light grey joggers for Keith to wear. He wore one of his own shirts underneath the sweatshirt. I was wearing a white Nasa T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. 
                          
   Shiro was still setting up the lighting and fixing the couch pillows, making everything just right when we entered the living room. Makeup already sprawled out on top of the coffee table and camera already set up. "Keith, come sit here please~." Shiro said, putting a hand on Keith's back and leading him to a specific spot on the couch. "And Lance, sit there on the other side of the couch so I can sit in between you and him. Im going to try to quickly find a pastel blue beanie to match his sweatshirt if I can, if not I'll probably grab a light grey one." Shiro said, not to anyone in particular. "Takashi sounds really excited." Keith mumbled to me. "Yeah- Wait did you just call him Takashi? He told us that none of us are allowed to.." I replied, looking around the living room, worried Shiro might get upset with Keith if he hears him. "Shiro said I can call him Takashi earlier if I wanted..? Is that b a d?" Keith asked, tilting his head to the side with a worried expression. 
                          
    "Im back! I found this one, its the closest beanie I have that goes with the color of your sweatshirt!~" Shiro exclaimed, waving the beanie around like a flag. "It's going to look like he's wearing a cat hat but we can't do much about that. Ha! That kind of rhymed..  Anywhosie, let's actually put it on you." Shiro said eagerly, more than ready to get this show on the road. Keith nodded, and Shiro went to put the beanie over his ears. Keith looked tense as Shiro delicately styled the beanie over his ears. "Just try not to move them a bunch, someone will start a conspiracy theory in the comments about you in no time!" Shiro chuckled at the thought. 
                          
   "I'll try." Keith said with a nod. "Now lets get some foundation on you so we can hide that pretty lilac tint." Shiro stated, reaching for a glass bottle on the coffee table. "I should be able to just use my own shade on you, besides your tint we're basically the same skin color." Shiro added, as he grabbed a beauty blender and started to get to work on covering all of Keith's exposed skin.
                          
   "Also Lance I would like to do your makeup first for the video if you don't mind, more or less to get Keith more comfortable with makeup by having him see you get yours done. I won't be able to do heavy eye makeup on Keith because he isn't used to it and it may irritate his eyes." Shiro explained, going over Keith's hands for extra measure. I bet he feels just like a makeup artist on a movie set right now. As he did Keith's foundation Shiro asked what it's like to pretend to be an alpha when you're really just an omega. Keith explained all the hardships, and how nerve wracking all of it was. But that it was necessary. "Oh wow, I just realized you have fangs." Shiro said, cutting whatever conversation they had going on, off. "It's a Galra thing." I replied and Shiro made an 'o' shape with his mouth and nodded, then he finished up Keith's foundation.
                          
. . . 
                          
    "I will count 3,2,1 and then I'll do my intro. When I introduce you guys you can start talking and just relax and have fun. Okay Keith?" Shiro asked, Keith responded by nodding with a determined look. Shiro turned on the camera and got in position. "3... 2.... 1... Hello my guys, gals and non-binary pals! I'm joined here today by Lance, who is back home for a while and brought back our new friend Keith with him!~" Shiro said as he stood in front of us and gestured to each of us as he said our name, I waved and Keith awkwardly copied me. 
                          
   "Today I'll be doing a look I saw on tumblr on Lance, and for Keith a look someone tweeted at me yesterday that I think Keith would be able to handle. It's not as glamorous as the looks I usually do but Keith isn't accustomed to makeup, like- at all so I'm trying to avoid irritating his eyes and skin." Shiro explained, so his audience would understand the change in his style for Keith's look. "Now let's get started!~" Shiro announced, with a clap of his hands.
