lance: a kiss on the cheek, knowing who’s walking through your house by the sound of their footsteps, bandaids, butterflies in your stomach, fingers tapping on a tabletop, sitting in someone’s lap, the smell of sunscreen, crooked smiles, thunderstorms, the collective groan following a bad joke

hunk: the soft bubbling of boiling water, clenching shaky hands into fists, metal clanging against metal, tight hugs, pinky promises, wind sweeping through a field of grass, the way a warm meal feels in the back of your throat, staying up late to talk to a friend, running your palm over the notches of a tree stump

pidge: the tap-tap-tap of a keyboard, looking outside your window during an all-nighter and seeing the sunrise, standing on tiptoes to reach something, whistling, socked feet on hardwood floors, tilting your head, taking something apart, the hard grin of someone who’s being underestimated, a photograph worn at the edges

keith: your stomach dropping to your toes, cracking knuckles, waking up from a dream you don’t remember, wanderlust, the glint of a knife tucked out of sight, stiff leather, the quiet camaraderie of a shared look, a tug in your gut, bright laughter, jumping in surprise when you notice someone standing next to you

shiro: falling asleep after a long day, the feeling of having everyone’s eyes on you, lips twitching up, raising an eyebrow, the way your heart warms up when someone you love succeeds, tracing scars, a hand on a shoulder, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath, standing up after scraping your knees
