Summary: Pidge leaned back in the navigator's seat and stretched her arms above her head, cracking her back and her neck in succession.

Pidge leaned back in the navigator's seat and stretched her arms above her head, cracking her back and her neck in succession. The weather pattern program she had written blinked lines of code at her, and the schematic of the nameless planet below rotated, half-finished on the desktop. A small alert tone drew her eyes to the globe, and she saw that the cloud cover above the northern continent was beginning to thin.

"Finally," Pidge said, and pushed her glasses up her nose. She started typing quickly, bringing up the ship's systems to start a slow thermal scan.

Because the clouds had not totally dissipated, they wouldn't be able to beam any two-way transmissions through to the lions; but a heat signature would point them in the right direction to go planetside and retrieve Lance and Keith, if they hadn't killed each other first. That was, Pidge assumed, if they were together ... it was equally possible that Lance had fallen into a ditch somewhere, and Keith was waiting on orders.

The door to the bridge whispered aside, and Hunk appeared, carrying a covered tray. "I brought dinner!" he said cheerfully, and Pidge gestured to the space somewhere on her left hand side, as if there were a table or ledge present to leave the offering of food. Hunk blinked down at her, noticing the alert on the screen. "Did you find them?" he asked, excited. "Should I call the others?"

"The clouds thinned enough to start a proper heat scan," Pidge said. "Might as well tell everyone else, by the time they get here it should be done."

Hunk carefully set the tray on the floor beside Pidge's seat. "I'll be right back," he said, and vanished off the bridge. Pidge looked down at the tray, and shifted in her seat just enough to nudge the covered plate with her foot. She didn't reason Hunk would bring her food cooked by Coran, because they all wanted to live, but it didn't hurt to check, first.

Keith flopped back against the rough surface of the table, both hands covering his face and panting loudly in the still air. He felt Lance shift, and then one of Lance's hands caught his wrist and tugged and pulled his palm away from his face. Keith tried not to look at Lance's face, he was clearly concerned but his cock was still in Keith's ass and that was really all Keith had the capacity to concentrate on at the moment.

"You okay?" Lance asked, and Keith gathered his thoughts enough to nod, slowly. Lance grinned -- no, he smirked and Keith thought about how bad an idea this was, but only for a moment because Lance moved again and scattered his thoughts as easy as breathing.

It didn't take as long this time, Keith's legs tucked over Lance's hips as he stood at the edge of the table, moving slowly and steadily until Keith let out a choked noise and grabbed for Lance. He'd lost count, now, but he was sure Lance had too, but this time when Lance pulled out with an obscene squishing noise he didn't immediately plunge back in and make Keith nearly sob.

Lance stood between Keith's legs, chest heaving and eyes wide as he stared down at Keith. "Holy shit," he said softly, and ran his hand over Keith's belly, tacky with fluid from all the times he'd come.

"Yeah," Keith said, and meant to prop himself up on his elbows but found he really didn't have the strength so he stayed down and rubbed his hand over his eyes. "Don't take that as an indication of skill or anything, okay? You clearly need some form of instruction in this."

"Whatever, man," Lance said, and rubbed his shoulder. "I'm not the one who was scratching up peoples' backs and moaning-" He let out a long, satisfied sigh, and ran his hand down his cock, which was still half-hard. "I could probably go again, if you wanted...."

He was surprised at himself that he even considered it. "We should check on the lions," Keith said, but didn't move.

"The lions will be there," Lance said and leaned forward, over Keith.

"Yeah, okay," Keith said because he didn't really need to be convinced. He caught Lance's shoulder and pulled him down into a kiss as Lance spread his legs again and slowly, slowly, pushed in.

"This is concerning," Allura said, arms folded as she looked up at the heat signatures on the screen. Pidge's thermal scan had completed just as quickly as she had predicted, and by the time Allura and Shiro had returned to the bridge Pidge had brought up a display that showed two dull, fading heat signatures – the red and blue lion, parked side by side.

Their thermal profile was fading because they'd been inactive for a while, but all the same it was brighter than the surface of the empty, desolate world. "There are the lions, but ... where are the paladins?"

Pidge zoomed in on the lions. "If they're in the lions, maybe the scanner can't get a read on them," she suggested, but didn't sound convinced by that.

"If they were in their lions," Shiro said firmly, "they would have come back to the ship."

Pidge conceded that point with a small nod. She zoomed the image as much as she was able, and Hunk said suddenly, "what's that?"

"What's what?" Allura asked, and Pidge stopped adjusting the screen.

"Back out a little further, Pidge," Hunk said. "I think I saw one of them."

"Really?" Pidge said, and backed out the image a bit. Hunk was staring at the far corner of the screen, and when Pidge zoomed out enough he jabbed his finger in the air at the image. "There! There's one of them!"

"Good eye, Hunk," Allura said. "There's one, but where's the o-" As she was speaking, the small blobby form shifted and detached and became two smaller blobby forms – but then went right back to one. "Oh,"Allura said. "What ... what are they doing like that?"

There was a strained silence.

"Well," Pidge said. "Hunk, you owe me fifty bucks."

"That's," Hunk said, then turned pink.

"Pidge, did you get the coordinates?" Shiro asked, attempting to keep everyone on track. "Can you send them to the black lion? I'll go get them."

"Yeah," Pidge said, and typed quickly. "They've been sent." Shiro nodded once, and then with a last glance to the screen, turned and hurried off the bridge.

"I don't understand," Allura said. The blobby form had not disengaged back into two parts. "The surface of the world is not that cool, why would th...." Allura trailed off as she reached the same unspoken conclusion. "Oh. Oh my."

"I'm going to shut down the thermal imaging," Pidge announced, fingers on the keyboard.

Allura looked back at her, brow furrowed in concern. "Why?"

Pidge typed a few keystrokes and returned the viewscreen to the planet schematic, although there was a red pin in it marking the location of the stranded lions. "Because Shiro is gonna go into a rut when he smells them both and I, for one, don't really want to see that."

"That's ridiculous," Allura said. "Shiro has more self-control than that."

"Normally I'd agree with you," Pidge said. "But Keith's in heat, and I don't know if you've reviewed the training room tapes from the last few nights, but..." she shrugged. "It's been a close call." She looked around the bridge, surprised at Hunk's lack of reaction. "Hey," she said. "Where'd Hunk go?"
