“GYAHHHHH!”

Red bolted out of bed, clutching the sheet to his body, trying vainly to cover his lack of clothing. He couldn’t see much of his partner except for long red hair and pale skin, but it was scary enough to wake up in bed with a stranger that he didn’t quite care who – or what – he had been sleeping with.

“Mm?” The other person in bed blinked awake, startled by the shout.

Red felt his heartbeat accelerate through the roof as they turned around. “L-Lance?” He squeaked.

The Dragon Master glared at the Champion, quite a feat considering that he wasn’t any more clothed than he. “Yes?”

“W-Why are we in bed together?”

“I would have thought it was obvious, Red.” Lance rolled his eyes. “Had a bit too much to drink last night, didn’t you?”

Red groaned, feeling the beginnings of a headache coming on. “So you’re telling me we…”

“Yes.”
“Oh Mew.” He buried his face in his hands. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize!” Lance snapped. “Besides, it was just a drunken fuck anyway. It could have been worse.”

Red squeaked, surprised at hearing Lance put it so bluntly. “Well… yes, but I wanted… I mean… I wanted you… but not that way…”

Lance raised an eyebrow as Red turned the color of his namesake.

“I mean I wanted our first time to be special!”

Lance stared in disbelief. “You mean…”

“Yes, I mean!” Red put his hands on his hips, dropping the sheet, but he seemed not to notice it. “I… I’ve loved you for a long time…”

“Red, I don’t know what to say…”

“Did-?”

“I do like you, but I’m not sure if I love you yet. It’s a rather sudden declaration to make.” Lance sighed, wishing that his headache would shut up so he could deal with this new development. Right now, he dearly wanted a hot shower and coffee.

Red hesitated. “I understand.” He said shyly, and as Lance looked upwards, he couldn’t help but trace the lines of curvature.

He was quite a pretty child – well, not so much a child, not any more… Lance stifled a yawn and pushed the blankets off.

“I’m going to take a shower. Want to join me?”

Red flushed, dropping his gaze to the floor, and Lance shrugged. “We don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to.”

“I do want to!”

“Well, if that’s what you want, we can do some of that too. In any case, it will help.”

They soaped each other off, and cuddled a bit, and then went to get breakfast with plenty of hot coffee, and as Red dug into his waffles with a smile, he had to admit the situation could have turned out a lot worse.
