ok so shiro/matt is absolutely adorable we all know this, but i firmly believe that they were like the masters of meet uglies like all of their interactions before the eventual “...hey....you wanna go get something to eat?” were just terrible and embarrassing for everyone like
matt loses his glasses and mistakes shiro for a piece of machinery or furniature or something idk but it takes him longer than it should have to realize it was a human being
both are sneaking around after curfew for reasons and the had to work together to try not to get caught (which is really hard because matt is carrying around a bunch of equipment)
matt goes into the rec room for some de-stressing and finds that shiro has beaten his high score on the galaga machine in the corner. he’s a little pissed off (he’s been reigning champion for months!)
shiro: “WHY ARE THERE TINY ROBOTS CRAWLING AROUND MY DORM AND WHY IS THAT ONE RUNNING OFF WITH ONE OF MY SOCKS?????”
shiro accidentally knocks matt unconscious with a careless frisbee throw
science went VERY VERY WRONG and shiro just happened to be in the right place at the right time/walking by the lab at that moment and oh god please help
