“And hey, look,” Pidge said, hefting up a giant potted plant for everyone to see. “The dignitary gifted us this cool plant.” Lance brightened, a huge grin lighting up his face.

“A hibiscus bush!” he exclaimed. He rushed over to Pidge, gently taking the pot from her and setting it on the table.“These we’re all over the place back home,” he said, smiling wistfully. He reached out to lovingly caress a petal on one of the flowers. Hunk looked at him, panicked.

“Wait, Lance, no -” he said, reaching desperately to stop him, but it was too late. Lance had already touched it. Hunk surged forward anyway, wrenching Lance away from the plant. He frantically placed his hands on both sides of Lance’s neck.

“You, good, buddy? Can you breathe? Try taking a deep breath.” Keith looked at him, startled by his reaction.

“What’s wrong?” he questioned. Hunk didn’t stop his frenzied checking over of his friend.

“Lance is very very allergic to hibiscus,” he explained. Lance batted Hunk’s hands away, rolling his eyes. Well. He tried to.

“I’m fine, Hunk,” he said, visibly struggling to breathe. Hunk clamped his hand on Lance’s wrist, and started dragging him towards to door.

“Yeah, no,” he said, “Let’s get you to a pod, you dumbass.”
