» in space, everybody can hear you scream

You've reached Lance, the Paladin of the Blue Lion. It breaks my heart to tell you that I'm unavailable to take your call right now, but if you leave me a message, I'll get right back to you.
text
Then ask him about yours? Or Pidge. I think he, Hunk and Pidge are all on the same page.
[Yeah he has no idea.]
You sure?
text
i just wanted to know if my family was okay
pidge and hunk told me that much
[The message ends there and hHe doesn't answer Shiro's question. There's only but so much lying Lance can do to his leader. Because no matter how much Lance has been assured by Pidge and Keith that he's still on the team and he's now flying Red instead of Blue, there's still that stupid voice in the back of his head that whispers "But for how long?"]
text
Keith said everyone made it out okay.
And that was all I needed to know.
[He doesn't have the whole story. But at this point, he's okay with that.]
text
[Lance knows something hinky goes down with Shiro's soul. Pidge practically yelled it in his face during their argument over how Lance felt like the seventh wheel in things. But he'll never say a word about that to anyone, especially Shiro. The question is purely and intentionally innocent.]
text
That's really all I ever wanted
Finish the fight
Make sure you guys got back home
Where you could see your families again
[That's enough for him. It's going to have to be.]
text
guess we got what we wanted in the end
[Or so he thinks.]
text
I'm already proud of you guys.
text
even when we're about to get bagged by the jennies?
text
Pidge told me what happened. I think you guys are in the clear.
text
that little snitch
i'm gonna fart in her sleeping bag
text
Yeah
maybe don't
Do that.
text
and it was a juicy one too
i had a double burrito with extra beans for lunch
[God, how can you be proud of someone so gross?]
text
And I'm not saving you
text
text
Guess that means I get your room.
text
give it to blue
he's earned his space outside the pokeball
text
text
been teaching him the ways of the loverboy lance
[Which means that room aint seeing anymore action than it did with Lance lived in it.]
text
Come to think of it.
text
not even guy pokemon?
[Huh. Was he just humoring Lance?]
text
He's friends with Jean's Rotom. And Red. But that's it.
text
that's weird
he seemed really into learning about my best pickup lines
[That's because he was talking to his hero, Lance. You could have been reciting the alphabet and Blue would have thought that was the best thing he's ever heard.]
text
He worships the ground you walk on. You're his hero. Of course he wants to learn from you.
text
i gave him some really good ones and now they're going to waste!
text
Maybe he's just waiting for the right Pokemon.
