[ Keith opens the door too forcefully, and it slams into the doorstop with a loud noise. He stands in the doorway in the stupid sparkly red Space Ho crop top that Lance and Shiro had brought home, fixing Lance with an intense stare that practically dares him to laugh.
He falters a little when he sees that Lance is wearing the same thing, but then... just tilts his chin up more. Don't show weakness. ]
[ Lance promised Shiro he wouldn't laugh at Keith's shirt, as part of the deal of buying them in the first place. So even though everything in him wants to laugh, he keeps a passive face and raises an eyebrow. ]
So what's this important thing you wanted to show me?
[ Take a deep breath, Keith. Patience yields focus. Do not strangle Lance, especially while you're both wearing crop tops. Not even a little bit. That would be so hard to explain.
[ Lance's internal monologue through this whole situation is a hysterical screech of KEEP IT TOGETHER DON'T LET HIM SEE YOU CRACK, but somehow, he manages to keep a straight face as he pretends to think back to earlier in the day. ]
[ Lance is gonna crack. He's gonna crack and laugh any second, he's sure of it, keep it together. ]
Does that mean you wanna hang out in here?
[ He scootches over on the bed so Keith can sit, if he'd like, and he uses the movement to hide his face behind the magazine to regain his composure for a second. ]
[ Keith strides over to the bed with intense, focused purpose, and takes a seat with all the stiff, cranky awkwardness of an emotionally damaged teenage boy wearing a sparkly space ho crop top. He can't tell if Lance is playing chicken with him, but if he is, Keith's sure as hell not going to lose. ]
[ Okay. Cool. He sat down. Lance has totally got this. He can 100% keep a straight face and turn back to reading his magazine. He looks down at it and flips a page. ]

I knew you were gonna laugh!
