is not at all what he intended when he brought it up.
If he'd been focused, paying attention to the situation, maybe but -
when Lance bursts into sudden song, Shiro almost drops him.
...
and it jars him right out of the creeping feeling of memories better forgotten.
He doesn't drop Lance but after the first surprise jerk he does readjust his hold on him before he keeps going.
Lance may have a nice singing voice - but maudlin drunk singing is definitely not the way to showcase it if he does. The fact that he's seriously butchering a Little Mermaid song somehow makes the whole situation even more surreal.
- all right. And funny.
Shiro knows he shouldn't laugh. He shouldn't laugh because it might hurt Lance's feelings, which are already hurt because he's being dragged away from his fun. And he shouldn't laugh because there's probably going to be the edge of relieved hysteria to it and that's never a good sign. So he chokes it down but - Lance flapping his hand doesn't really help and its a relief when they get to the vehicle and Shiro can bodily pick Lance up without opening the door and just deposit him inside. As he reaches for the harness to strap his teammate in place, he mutters:]
