[You don't see his arms folded or the pout, Pidgeon!! How can he possibly be brooding?!]

how is this something worth brooding over?
look in any case
i think lance's video might have been a secret plea for you to get a manicure

[pidge_out]

you're brooding over me calling you emo

[Don't try to deny it. SHE CAN SEE YOU IN HER MIND'S EYE.]

oh really? what makes you say that?

[marmoron]

no. you think i'm brooding over you calling me emo. there's a difference.

[Hmph.]

it's because he started talking in excruciating detail about how uncomfortable hangnails and broken nails are during sex
between the two of you you're definitely the one with the hangnails

[pidge_out]

[He obviously can't see her, but she snorts and coughs back her laughter.] i'm not sure what to think of you assuming that i'm the one sticking my fingers into sensitive places

[marmoron]

[/SQUINT.]

so you did see the video
also i wasn't actually thinking that so much as you putting your fingers around
you know what never mind
just don't be surprised if lance shows up to netflix with a black eye

[pidge_out]

keith

i haven't seen the video

[Except of course she has.]

what else am i supposed to assume when you say "hangnails during sex"

but explain why him divulging facts about OUR sex life would lead to YOU giving him a black eye. sounds like i should be the one doing that

[marmoron]

[Mistrust. Rising.]

i don't know and i don't want to know what word associations come to mind with your sex life
and it's because he made me the poster boy of cluelessness, ok?

[AFTER HE HELPED LANCE FIND HIS DAMN ENGAGEMENT RING, TOO!!!]

[pidge_out]

[You should always trust your local Pidgeon, Keith. Always.] ok and how did he do that? [Let's hear it from your own mouth (so to speak), fearless leader~]

[marmoron]

cuz he was talking about people who needed help on valentine's day and showed a picture of my face on the screen that's how


[GRUMP.]

[pidge_out]

[Sorry, Keith. But she's giggling. Because it was funny.]

dude
don't even start trying to deny that you're not good at this stuff
we both suck at it

[marmoron]

i don't see you getting called out

[He's not miffed at all. Really. After a couple of seconds, she'll get another message.]

and i wasn't going to deny it
just didn't want attention drawn to it either
nervous enough about valentine's as is without lance's help

[pidge_out]

i must be getting a pass for being his girlfriend

[ But speaking of Valentine's and special plans.... ]

i'm sure you are.
since you're going out with the Princess and all

[ NOT THAT HE TOLD HER OR ANYTHING.... ]

[marmoron]

[Good thing this is all text because otherwise he might've grumped about ring shopping also qualifying as a pass. Or at least that it SHOULD qualify as a pass. This one is not salty at all or anything...]

exactly
the pressure around valentine's is bad enough
it just has to be ten times worse when your date is a literal princess








wait..
did i tell you about that?

[pidge_out]

oh i don't know keith did you?

[marmoron]

well i meant to so there's that.
how'd you find out?

[pidge_out]

that's completely not the same thing i helped allura do some shopping and she told me that you've been going out for plural months [PLURAL MONTHS, KEITH.]

[marmoron]

we've been going out for a month and a week or so!
how is that plural months?

[Evidently this is the hill Keith is choosing to die on...]

[pidge_out]

it's more than one, keith [Pidge is clearly happy to help with that.]

[marmoron]

[There's this entire argument he could make about how the passage of tiem in months isn't typically counted in units other than whole numbers but that would, in fact, take effort to type and he's not all that interested in giving himself carpal tunnel here. SO.]

point being i would have told you earlier
guess i just kinda forgot

[pidge_out]

[SHE IS PREPARED TO FURTHER ARGUE HER POINT... But Keith conceding from the argument entirely is good enough for now.]

ok fine. apology accepted.

she seems really happy, btw.

[marmoron]

[Oh. Well that makes him smile.]

good. i hope she is
she deserves to be happy

[pidge_out]

so do you, dude and you guys are a good match. i'm glad things worked out
