Red and Blue make Purple

Klance Birthday Headcanons

I don’t wanna study and I found this amazing artwork post by @marvelpumpkin so I’m making headcanons before dreamworks make lance a leo or something dumb ~~he’s a gemini you all know it~~

lance and keith’s birthdays are on the same day but because they’ve lost track of time in space and with zarkon doing his evil no one has payed attention to what day it is
hunk and shiro are the first to realise their shared special day bc they’re both preparing for a birthday gift

of course hunk is preparing lance and shiro is doing keith
they go to TheSpaceMall for it in disguises (hunk barely resists going to Vrepit Sals to say hi)
they only realise that they’re not buying for the same person after shiro buys a boomerang knife and hunk buys a quantum powered water pistol

shiro and hunk get the rest of the group in on it and they decide to throw a themed birthday party
they divide the rest area of the castle in two and decorate each side for each of the boys; keith’s is red with MCR blasting out the speakers and mariokart whilst lance’s is blue playing carly rae jepsen and a zarkon pinata
(neither of them discover it all being set up because allura implied keith was stronger than lanceand now they have to prove each other wrong)
at the centre of the room is a huge, custom made cake by hunk
one side of the cake is decorated for lance and right down the middle it changes to be decorated for keith
they are both completely different flavours that should not mix
coran closes the room for ‘jigger glout’ reasons to hide it
the next morning, on the boys’ birthdays, hunk tells lance he should go annoy keith by pointing out that he’s older than keith
and of course the above mentioned artwork happens
lance is horrified and orders keith be born on a different day, which no one understands but it’s clear lance is angry
keith is just confused because outside a cupcake and a candle with shiro his birthday has never been a big thing for him
lance demands birthday recompense and asks keith for a gift-keith does the same and they quite literally butt heads
but when lance sees the party that’s been organised he’s even more shook-HOW DARE BLACK PARADE BESMIRCH CALL ME MAYBE
but once he’s done being a drama queen the two of them have a good time, keith being the one to eventually break the pinata with his knife and lance kicking no one’s ass at mariokart because as much as he likes winning he likes seeing his friends happy more
lance and keith both turn out to love the cake, both flavours, which confuses hunk because he was certain lance would hate a carrot cake

keith eats carrot cake no one is happy and they all silently judge the way shiro has raised him.
pidge does admit that matt also likes carrot cake so shiro might have just been a horrible influence

a food fight occurs when allura trips lance into the remaining cake and keith gets revenge for “the birthday boy”
shiro makes them share gifts because there are so few until lance cuts himself on keith’s knife and keith almost detonates the entire ship with the water pistol’s firing mechanism
eventually lance and keith sit around talking about past birthdays on the sofas they’ve had whilst everyone else does their own thing
keith doesn’t have much to say but it’s not a problem-he loves listening
the two of them talk until the wee hours of the morning and don’t realise they’re asleep until they wake up covered in a blanket from hunk
the resulting fuss and complaining they make isn’t entirely genuine
it was the best birthday either of them have

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
