[Lance isn't wrong in the fact that Shiro's not even trying. In fact, in a very subtle, most subconscious way, Shiro is probably actively avoiding. He's pretty sure he missed that boat already and by 'boat' he doesn't think of a person so much as mental stability. He can get his social fulfillment from his interactions with his paladins and the Alteans and, in no small part, to his bond with Black as far as he's concerned. And when Lance goes trundling off to the bathroom, Shiro reaches over to open a drawer on the desk next to his bed and pull out a notebook and pen, shutting it again to settle in, legs crossed, back propped against the wall to write down a few of the poems he remembers and that he thinks Lance might like. His eyes do drift up a few times though, just to make sure Lance hasn't fallen in the sink or anything. He's taking a bit but as long as he doesn't start screaming Shiro figures its part of the beauty routine he's got and far be it from Shiro to interrupt something like that.]
