            Red doesn’t wear a watch. It’s never suited him, and he’s never late when it really counts, after all. He’s excellent at appearing, heroic, at the last minute and saving the day.

            Lance doesn’t wear a watch either, though that’s because he can tell time by the angles of the sun and moon. He thinks that humans are foolish, so concerned about the passage of time, always rushing back and fourth.

            When Red first meets Lance, it is right after Cerise, and the sun is setting. He wants to say hi, but he is not sure if he should – the dragons guarding him seem pretty fierce!

            When Lance first meets Red, the sky is streaked with blood, and he struggles to stand, ignoring the pain from Pikachu’s electric attack. He should attack, but Red doesn’t seem threatening…

            When Red first kisses him, he’s shy and almost frightened, but Red holds onto Lance tightly, and doesn’t let go.

            And when Lance kisses him back, his fingers are clutching Red’s jacket like a frightened child, but Red is… safe.

            And when they first make love, they don’t care what time it is.
