[Not yet means there's still a possibility and Lance is quickly writing his last will and testament in his head, leaving all his haircare to Shiro and Keith and his skincare to Shadowmaru and everything else is a free for all.
The staring does not help. It ratchets up Lance's anxiety tenfold and he's still babbling to fill the silence between them because that would just make things so much worse. What if Matt or Shiro, or worse, Hunk walked into the hallway right now? With Pidge so bright red that her face rivals Santa's suit and Lance just spitting out whatever sound comes to mind, it would be clear Lance fucked up in some massive manner and oh boy, that's just what his scumbag brain needs.
Does his breath stink? Is that why she's covering her mouth? Lance blinks down at her, racking his brain to see if he remembered to brush. Yes, yes he did brush and gargles some mouthwash too. No, that's definitely not the reason she's covering her mouth. Maybe she's wiping her mouth? A real possibility, once that Lance is afraid to witness.]
Y-yeah?
[Finally he's managed a word, but oh, that crack in his voice should really have all the canine Pokemon howling.]
