Chapter Text
Lance had always been into guys more than girls, but he would never admit that to anyone. He called himself bisexual, but showed off his hetero side more often. His family and some of his friends knew this, but thought nothing of it.
Well, some of them thought nothing of it.
And some of them didn't know.
Two of Lance's closest friends, Hunk and Pidge, had known about his somewhat secret.
However, two of his other closest friends, Shiro and Keith, did not.
"Oh my Goooooood. Dude. You're totally ogling that guy over there. Why the fuck don't you talk to him?"
"Whaaaaaaaat," Lance said, 'innocently,' "Pidge, you're totally crazy, I was not staring."
"Yeah, Pidge," Hunk said, "he was probably daydreaming about what he is like in bed."
Lance turned a slight shade of pink and lightly hit his friend's arm. "Shut the fuck up, I was not."
"Lance, we know you're gay, you know you're gay, hell, I bet even your grandma knows you're gay. Why the fuck don't you just admit to everyone and be your flamboyant gay self?"
"Excuse you, I am my flamboyant gay self. And mi abuela does know, and she's very supportive of it, thank you very much."
"Uh, didn’t you say you were bi...?" asks Hunk timidly.
"Yes, but shush."
"Also, remind me again why the fuck you didn't tell Shiro and Keith?" Pidge asks accusingly.
"Well, you guys weren't actually supposed to know either, but I just had to be stupid and talk in my fucking sleep." He cringed thinking of the memory. He was roommates with Hunk and Pidge was staying the night. It just so happened that that night, he had a very...sexual dream.
"Oh, Jake~"
"Kiss me, Jake~"
"Fuck me harder, Ja-"
"Okay! Okay, I get the point. I have weird dreams..." He said, getting red from his friend's teasing. He had had a massive crush on one of his coworkers named Jake, and dreamt of him quite often. It turned out that Jake was a dick, though, so he moved on.
“Okay, but anyway, back to the point.” Said Pidge. They were always good at getting back on track.
“Yeah, why won’t you tell Keith and Shiro that you’re bi?” asked Hunk.
“I dunno…I guess I’m afraid of what they’ll think? Like, they’re two of our best friends. What if they don’t accept me anymore? What if they tell me to ‘pick a side’ or call me ‘fag’ or say ‘But you haven’t dated boys before, so how can you be gay?’ I don’t want that to happen…especially with them.” He said sadly, remembering what others had said when he came out to them.
“They’re our friends. They’re your friends. I’m sure they’ll love you no matter if you like dick down your throat or not.” Pidge said.
“Yeah, and plus, Shiro is like the nicest dude ever. And I don’t think that Keith has ever said anything bad about bisexuality.” Hunk added.
“Yeah…I guess…”
“I think that you should tell them.” Pidge says.
“Yeah, they might be hurt that you didn’t tell them if you don’t tell them soon.”
“Should I?”
“We literally just told you to.” Said Pidge.
“Don’t worry about it. And if on the small chance that they don’t accept you, Pidge and I will give them a talking to.” Added Hunk.
Lance took a deep breath and said, “Okay, fine. I’ll tell them…eventually.”
“How about soon?”
“I don’t even know how the hell I’m gonna tell them.” Lance had already started to regret his decision.
“Why don’t you all go out to lunch tomorrow and tell them then?” Hunk suggests.
“Yeah! And you can even go to Le Gey Café!” Pidge adds.
“What if they’re not free?”
“Why don’t you call them and ask them right now?”
“What the fuck? No! Aren’t they at work right now?”
“I happen to know for a fact they’re not.” They looked down at their watch to check the time and confirm. “Shiro just got on Lunch break and Keith just got off work.”
“What the fuck, Pidge, do you like stalk them?”
“No, Lance, I keep track of all of my friend’s work schedules so it’s easier for me to reach them if I ever need to. Now give me your phone.”
“No.”
“Lance, come on.” Hunk pleads.
“Nope, not gonna do it.” He crosses his arm, closes his eyes, lifts his chin, and looks away childishly.
“Fine.” Pidge sighs and gets up from their spot at the table. They tickle and prod him and snatch the phone from his pocket. They dial Keith’s number first. Then hand it back to Lance.
It rung about 5 times before Keith picked up. “What do you want.” He deadpanned.
“Hey, um, I was, uh, wondering if, um, you wanna go out to lunch tomorrow with me…and Shiro! I, uh, haven’t asked him yet but…” He stuttered nervously.
“Are you like trying to date the both of us at the same time? Uh, what the hell?”
Lance suddenly lost some of his nervousness, I mean, come on, it’s Keith he’s talking to. “Oh, yes, you’ve discovered my secret that I’m in love with you and Shiro. But I cannot decide who my heart shall belong to.” He says in a foolish voice. “No, dumbass, I wanna talk to you two.”
“What time and where?” Keith asks.
“Uh…2pm at Le Gey Café?”
“I’m only going if Shiro goes.”
“Deal. I’ll call him right now then text you what he says.”
“Okay. Bye.” Beep.
“What an ass…” Lance mumbles under his breath. “Remind me again why I’m doing this?”
“Because they’re your friends and they need to know. Now call Shiro.” Hunk says.
He dialed Shiro and he picked up almost instantly.
“Hey, Lance.” Said a kind, smiling voice.
“Hey, Shiro. Um…are you free tomorrow? At two? I, uh, want to go to lunch with you…and uh, Keith.”
“Let me just check.” Silence for a minute. During that silence, Lance held his breath. “Yeah, that should work. Everything okay?” asked Shiro with slight concern in his voice.
“Yeah, I, uh, just wanna talk to you two…”
“Alright. Where are we meeting up?”
“Le Gey Café?” Lance was afraid that the restaurant choice was not the best. What if they figured out his secret before he even told them?
“Okay. Is that everything?”
“Uh, yeah…see you tomorrow, then.”
“See you tomorrow. Goodbye Lance.” A slight smile could be heard in his voice.
Beep.
Great…they can both go…yay.
He texted Keith to alert him that Shiro could go and then sighed. “I hope I don’t regret this. Just remember, if I die, it’s your faults.”
“You’re not going to die, Lance.” Pidge says, pushing up their glasses.
“How do you know that?”
“Pidge just rolls their eyes and sighs.
