[In a family like Lance's, birthdays were always a Big Deal, despite there being a ton of people in the household. It meant lots of parties, lots of presents, and lots of fun. And being the baby of said family (aside from his niece and nephew) meant that he always got a little extra attention. Yeah, he's a bit spoiled. So sue him (except don't because he doesn't have much to his name at the moment). Even in space, Hunk had took it upon himself to throw a party for Lance like the best friend in the universe he was.
So when this one came and went without a peep... Lance wasn't really expecting anything, perse. Only one person here knew him, after all, so no one would know it was his birthday. But Keith! Keith had to have known! He was there that last party! And yet the black paladin treated it like a day unlike any other. Always one to find it difficult to hide his emotions, Lance had been sulking since, but was too stubborn and proud to tell Keith exactly why. Stupid mullet, they'll see how boring October 23rd is. And yes, Lance remembered that.
The man in question, however, was beginning to act suspicious. And on this particular day, Lance had been faintly observing with some confusion Keith setting up far too much food for the two of them (three, counting Kosmo) to eat. And the music? What? Were they expecting company? Did Keith somehow, despite all odds, manage to make new friends?
Turns out the older paladin had indeed set something up behind his back. A very, very uncharacteristically (?) kind something. So the mullet did have it in him, after all.
Lance's mood is brightened tenfold as the party gets into swing, and flits between guests as he enjoys the food and any presents he's given. Come say hi to the very excited birthday boy?]
Action, OTA
