Galran Keith hcs
I like to think that as Galran's genetics get diluted, the animal they correspond with just gets smaller. Like, since Keith is only half-galra, he has behaviors similar to a bobcat while Krolia and Kolivan have big cat traits.
Like, bobcats are awesome at climbing so Keith is always on top of things he shouldn't be on top of. Also, they don't roar, they scream/yowl, and hiss. AND, unlike big cats, bobcats can purr! Keith has definitely been on a mission with the blades where he gets frustrated and just...yowls. And it makes so much sense for him to hiss when Lance starts getting on his nerves.
His galran traits freak out the paladins/alteans a bit (save for Shiro, he's seen worse) but the blades think they're adorable. Bc, imagine you're Kolivan (completely galran/big cat traits) and there's this scrawny new kid who hisses when he gets pissed.
That's it for now, I love galran Keith. <333

It’s a known fact that Keith Kogane doesn’t sleep well. Between the insomnia and night terrors, it’s a welcome relief if he sleeps through the night. However he tends to make up some of those missing hours during the day. This can lead to some interesting situations.
It had taken months for Keith to really trust Shiro and Adam, to see them as family. But when he did become truly comfortable around them they were surprised at his uncanny ability to fall asleep literally anywhere.
On the floor? Yup. At the kitchen table? Happens every week. On top of the washing machine while waiting for his clothes to dry? Absolutely. In the car? Yeah. Hanging upside down off the couch? All the fucking time. On the roof of their garrison issued house? Way too often.
One day Shiro came home from a grocery run while Adam was at a meeting on campus to find his little brother curled up in a kitchen cabinet. When asked about this Keith just said it sounded like a good idea at the time and went to his room to play Minecraft. Eventually this just became part of life. The sky was blue, velvet was a bad texture, and Keith tended to fall asleep in weird places.
When the Kerberos mission failed, (and was covered up) this didn’t change. The old shack didn’t have an actual bed so the teen took to sleeping on the musty couch. But there were days that he was to tired to drag himself to the cushions and blankets, so he often woke up to find himself in random places.
The empty bathtub was a common one, as was the kitchen counter. On the dusty rug, in the corner under the table, even standing up. But Keith never really realized that this was a strange habit and just went with it. Besides if the only living thing to see you was a dying cactus, did social rules really matter. Even if you didn’t follow them in the first place.
Being in a space war kinda made things a bit more difficult.
For one, The Castle Of Lions was huge. Rooms upon rooms of the ghosts of Altean past. Furniture, trinkets, technology, art, everything. This meant there were lots of places to hide, and for an introvert like the red paladin, these secret places became a safe haven of quiet and calmness.
Now Keith had been diagnosed as autistic while back at the garrison, after Shiro realized how similar his mannerisms were to those of the Holt’s and Adam. This explained a lot of things for the teenager, his angry outbursts, were meltdowns. His social awkwardness was a misunderstanding of social cues. Even his troubles with food were just sensory issues.
So this led to him needing a lot of alone time to decompress after any interaction with others, especially the very loud energetic paladins of Voltron. Basically he spent a lot of his free time when not training, to wander the empty hallways and rooms. And as his sleeping habits had only gotten worse while in space and away from any stable routine, he took naps all over the place.
At least once a week some member of the crew ran into Keith, passed out in some strange location. Hunk often stumbled upon him in the kitchen, sometimes on the counters, at the bar, or even in the large pantry while looking for a snack.
Pidge tended to spot him asleep in the hanger, curled up near Red after a bad nightmare. Not that they knew that. Sometimes he even climbed onto Red’s head just to nap.
Lance often found him fully clothed curled up in a bathtub in the common area bathroom, at least he looked comfortable.
Allura would often spot him asleep in some strange contorted position in his chair on the bridge.
Coran tended to get the shit scared out of him while working on the inner workings of the castle, when he would see the red paladin passed out in some random alcove.
Shiro often ran into his unconscious brother while he was taking his own late night walks around the castle. Keith wasn’t the only one with nightmares after all. Keith would be tucked into a corner in the hallway, or had shoved himself under a random table. Shiro would just chuckle to himself and carry the sleeping teen to his own bed.
Now while these sleeping habits weren’t exactly healthy, they never caused much of a problem. Until they did.
After a battle gone wrong Keith always found himself in the training room battling out his frustration on one of the bots. But he would be sluggish and overestimate his ability at the time. After getting beat up by the gladiator while sleep deprived too many times Shiro insisted that the automatic bots be shut off after combat. Keith would just have to settle for an old fashioned dummy.
His strange habits never really changed, the nightmares continued. But he eventually came to understand that he wasn’t alone, and found some better ways to get a bit more sleep.
Keith was just a weird ass sleeper and that fact became a part of the day to day routine.

Plot Summary
The boys are up pretty early. Keith woke up with an anxiety attack.
❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀
Tumblr media
Early morning came and Lance, surprisingly, found himself awake. He was unsure why or how, but accepted it as it was. Instead of making himself dwell on it too long, he decided to just get ready for the day anyway. The process was long but made him feel great.
When he was finished getting ready, it would've been sun rise. Or he thinks anyway. Being away from earth so long made it difficult to remember things like sun rise or keep track of time. It was habit to go off other times now instead. He could admit, he missed the sun. Well anyway, being all ready for the day Lance shuffled through the hallways of the castle. He didn't really expect to find anyone awake. The last thing he wanted was to wake Keith. He needed, and deserved, the rest after everything.
During his adventure through the castle, he spotted light spilling out through the cracks of the kitchen door. For a moment he thought that maybe the light just didn't get turned off the night before. So Lance walked through the door as it a opened up for him automatically. He looked around before reaching for the panel to turn off the lights. Before he could, he spotted Hunk cooking.
" Hunk? " he asked, soon watching the larger man jump in surprise.
" Oh, morning Lance, " he greeted awkwardly. His hands stopping whatever he was trying to make. He had food all over him, mostly food goo.
" What are you doing up so early? " he asked as he walked over to the counter tops Hunk stood. The doors shut now that he wasn't so close to them.
" Oh, I don't know. Couldn't sleep I guess, " Hunk shrugged out. He gave one of his signature warm smiles before looking at his hands. Lance definitely didn't have a clue as to what he was trying to make, but the other seemed a little frustrated. He opened his mouth to ask, only for his mind to be read.
" Trying to make an earth recipe again. It's not going that well, " Hunk sheepishly admitted as he lowered his head. Embarrassment easily took over his body language.
" That's okay, anything I can do to help? " Lance offered soon after with a smile.
" Hmm, maybe, " he mumbled back as he tried to think about it.
In the end, Lance "helped" by supervising and occasionally handing Hunk things when asked. Sometimes he helped figure out how to get it to taste right, but otherwise he didn't have a clue as to how he was managing to make the dish. He occasionally hummed to himself while leaning over the counter, resting against it. It was comfortable, took pressure off his lower back.
Neither had noticed how late it got in the morning until Keith came shuffling in. Normally, Keith was one of the first people awake. Then Shiro and so on. The pair perked up, blinking at him. Hunk just smiled and greeted him kindly. Lance on the other hand pushed himself up right. On instinct, he found himself trying to make sure Keith wasn't little. He couldn't really tell. Maybe he was borderline?
" Mornin, " Keith mumbled. " Anythin for breakfast? " he asked after, calmly and quietly. Clearly he just woke up.
" Yeah, I have something finished here. Just a second, " Hunk beamed with a smile. He looked around, quickly making the older a plate to eat.
That left Keith and Lance staring at each other. Lance didn't really realize he was doing it. Not until the shorter nervously looked away with a few blinks. The nervous expression didn't last long after Hunk turned back around. He handed him the plate with ease.
" Here you go! " he beamed.
" Thanks, " he mumbled shortly as he took the plate. He seemed to linger for a few seconds, worrying Lance very quickly. He also received a side glance from Hunk, also expressing worry.
" Can I stay? " Keith asked awkwardly. Both smiled happily.
" Of course! " Lance told him. He threw an arm around him, behaving annoying as always to the older young adult. He got a familiar expression of annoyance too. " Need a stool too? " he chuckled.
Keith huffed and shoved him off. He set his plate onto the counter then tugged over one of the stools. He sat down at the counter, poking at his food. Lance still felt worried. He looked off, even body language wasn't right.
Maybe he really did spend too much time analyzing Keith.
" You alright Keith? " Hunk finally asked as he moved to wash his hands. Lance on the other hand was leaning against the counter again.
" Peachy, " he was dismissed.
" You know you can talk to us, " he pointed out.
" Okay, thanks, " Keith sounded irritated.
Lance chewed the inside of his cheek for a few seconds. Awkward, that's the only way to describe the atmosphere of the kitchen right now. The pair decided to leave him alone, in the end.
After some time passed, both often being met with harsh words from the older in the room, things were getting frustrating. Well, until it got pretty quiet. Both him and Hunk were staring at Keith, who's hands were shaking a little bit. It wasn't difficult to notice he was having a hard time. He just wished he could go over and scoop him up and whisper how everything will be okay.
" Keith.. " Hunk began, moving to lean over the counter he had finished cleaning.
" No, " Keith huffed out, practically pouted.
Crap, he knew the look of that. His hands twitched to move, but he wasn't sure Keith wanted him to do anything.
" Keith, come on, " Hunk huffed at him. " Something's clearly wrong. I just want to help. You don't have to tell me what's going on. I just want to know how to help, " he ranted a little bit.
A long silence came. A pause, really. Lance moved to get up, but the sound of Keith dropping his fork onto the plate stopper him. It made him flinch, well, both of them really.
" Just anxious, " Keith finally admitted. " Don't know why or how, just am, " he mumbled before rubbing at his face.
" Is there anything I can do to help? " Hunk pressed.
" I don't know. "
" Okay, that's okay. "
The two stared at each other now. Lance had to bite his cheek to keep from smiling. It warmed his heart to watch Keith warm up a bit more to the others. He remained still now, well, until he spotted the glances toward him. This also resulted in them staring at each other instead. A silence conversation seemed to flow between them.
Permission. Perfect.
Lance shuffled over after pushing himself off the counter. He moved over and gently rubbed the hot headed paladin's back. Soon, he leaned into him and rested his head against his shoulder.
" This is scary, what did you do to get him to like you? " Hunk teased with a snort.
Taking a deep breath, he began to explain. " Hunk, do you remember that childish girl I was with at home? "
" Yeah, why. "
" She was an age regressor. It isn't anything gross. It's just when someone mentally reverts to a child to help themselves cope with stressors. "
" Oh, I see, " Hunk blinked as he stood up fully. No judgement was seen on his face. He doubted this man was capable of judging, let alone bullying.
" That explains a lot. I'm assuming you're bringing this up because of Keith? "
A short nod to confirm. Keith didn't say a word. He stared at the counter instead. His hands were rested on it. Well, until he was tugging at Lance's shirt. The action made the taller wrap his arm firmly around him. The pressure helped.
" Okay, I understand, " Hunk nodded. " I'd be happy to help regardless. You're my friends, " he beamed. It was so sweet it felt almost painful.
" Thank you, " Keith mumbled. " For being nice. "
" Don't thank me for the bare minimum, " Hunk snorted. " As long as you're happy, I'm happy.
The three unintentionally nod in unison.
Another moment of awkward silence. It felt difficult, more so as Keith pushed himself away and ran his hands through his hair. Hands that soon Lance took into his own. He rubbed the knuckles gently, hoping to sooth him.
" Do you want to try breathing with me? " Hunk offered.
The larger man moved around the counter, tugging off the apron as he moved. He set the cloth onto the counter as he reached the two. All he got was a small nod. It wouldn't be surprising if the little was becoming desperate to do anything to calm his nerves. With gentle touches, Hunk guided Keith to sit facing him. He held his hands now, so small in his larger ones. With a smile, he slowly guided him to breathe. In for a few seconds, out for a few seconds. Keith focused on counting it more than breathing. It helped. His hands became still as his nerves settled, for now at least.
Once calm, Lance wrapped his arms around him.
" See? Not so scary, " Lance teased, earning a pout by Keith.
" Teddy bear, " Keith mumbled, mind clearly having slipped. He didn't seem to be as small as he normally would be, however. Lance didn't stop holding him from behind. One of his hands rubbed his shoulder too.
" Me? " Hunk asked, blinking.
" Mhm. "
" Aww, " he cooed as he wrapped his arms around them both. Lance yelped, Keith squeaked, but neither pulled away. Giggles came from them both at the bear hug. Tight, but more crushing for the little one. " I'm honored to be your teddy bear then! "
" Best bear, " Keith giggled quietly, moving to hug Hunk back. " an warm, " he mumbled.

Disclaimer: I don't own Voltron Defender of the Universe. I do own Ruby though. 
Summary: Keith, Ruby, Lance, Rachel, CJ, and Allura get de-aged to three-years-old.
Author Note: This is Keith/Ruby, Lance/Rachel, and Allura/CJ. Rachel belongs to QueenScene2, and CJ belongs to 80sGayTrashGoblin.
"De-Aged Hijinks"
It was a quiet night on Planet Arus. The castle's inhabitants weren't expecting six of their number to be affected by the previous day's experiment. However, morning's light showed yesterday's experiment had unusual consequences. 
%%%
Ruby could feel Keith's arms still around her. She was happy that he hadn't been called away to defend Arus. She adored waking up in his arms, but there was something a little off. She had fallen asleep wearing an old faded Garrison t-shirt of Keith's that wasn't too baggy, but now, it felt really baggy.
She hesitantly opened her eyes and was very confused, because there was a little boy who looked like Keith and was wearing his pale blue pajama top sleeping with his arms around her. She looked down at herself and saw she was a little girl again. She whimpered, inadvertantly waking Keith up. He rubbed one eye. "Ruby, what's wrong, darling?"
It was then that it registered to Keith that his girlfriend was much younger than when they went to sleep, but she still had her heart necklace and rose earrings on. He looked down and saw that he was a little boy again. They didn't get to say anything else, before they heard  crying from the next room over.
%%%
Rachel and Lance were already awake and had discovered what happened, but Rachel was determined to put her make-up on. Rachel, wearing Lance's shirt, stood on Lance's shoulders to see the mirror in order to put on her make-up. She couldn't do it well enough, because she didn't possess fine motor skills anymore, so she asked Lance, who is wearing his pajama top, for help.
"Help, Lancey?"
"Don't call me that, doll. Not when I can't do anything about it."
"Please."
"All right. Come down." She slid off his shoulders. "Now, hold still."
He tried to put on her eyeliner but ended up accidentally poking her in the eye with eyeliner pencil. Rachel bursted into tears, and Lance dropped the eyeliner pencil and kissed her on the lips to get her to stop crying, but it didn't work and made Lance cry because he hurt his girlfriend. Their crying was what attracted Keith and Ruby.
Ruby immediately went over to her best friend's side and held her, rocking her in order to soothe her. Keith followed his girlfriend's lead and went over to Lance's side.
"What happened, Lance?"
"I-I h-hurt, R-Rach," Lance sobbed.
"She seems okay aside from being three."
"All four of us are little kids, sweetheart," Ruby stated.
Rachel had heard Lance's sobbed confession and lifted her head. It was obvious what had happened. Her eye was still red and not just from crying, which did help with clearing the eyeliner out. "I'll be okay, Lancey."
"Rach?" Lance locked eyes with his girlfriend and held his arms open for a hug. Rachel flung herself into his arms, knocking them both over in the process. Keith and Ruby giggled, Keith putting his arms around his girlfriend.
"Voltron Force, report to the control room!"
Keith and Lance looked at each other, Keith nodding. The two de-aged pilots dashed out of the room, their girlfriends in tow. When they arrived in the control room, they were the last ones, Hunk and Pidge arriving before them.
"What's the matter, Coran?" Keith asked, momentarily forgetting he was currently three-years-old.
Coran, Nanny, Hunk, and Pidge all turned to face the de-aged quartet. "I originally called you here, because Allura is missing, but what happened to you four?"
"We don't know," Keith admitted. "We woke up like this."
"So, that's two mysteries to figure out. Where Allura is, and what happened to those four," Hunk stated.
"Hey! I'm not the youngest anymore!" Pidge pointed out.
"We need to do something! You two, find the princess!" Nanny pointed at Hunk and Pidge. "You two, find something better to wear!" She pointed at Keith and Lance. "And you two, get to work!" She pointed at Ruby and Rachel last.
"But we can't work like this!" Ruby insisted.
Nanny went to grab Ruby to put her over her knee, but Keith pushed Ruby behind him. "Don't touch her!"
Nanny paused for a moment but turned to Rachel. Lance didn't even give her a chance to yell at his girlfriend. "They can't work!"
Nanny ignored him, grabbing him by the ear to move him out of the way.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lance yelped, cupping his ear after Nanny released him.
Hunk finally intervened. "Nanny, you honestly can't expect two three-year-olds to clean the castle and do laundry. They can't reach most of the places."
Nanny looked from Ruby, who was being held by Keith, to Rachel, who was kneeling by Lance and trying to help Lance feel better. She sighed. "I suppose, but then, they should help find the princess."
"Calm down, Nanny. I'm sure she's still in the castle," Coran said.

Meanwhile, CJ and Allura were on their way to CJ's lab, which was just the room next to Allura's room. They had woken up de-aged but had realized what happened. The experiment CJ conducted the previous day had blown up in her face. It had affected Allura, Ruby, Rachel, Lance, and Keith, because she called them there to witness her brilliance.
The reason they were headed /back/ towards CJ's lab was because they had stopped by the kitchens for snacks. No one had seen them since they used the vents, which was a little hard since they were wearing old dresses of Allura's (back when she was originally three-years-old). CJ didn't really like the dress but it was better  than the old t-shirt she had fallen asleep in. When they had gotten to the kitchen, the two found themselves with an armful of snacks each. CJ thought it was because the kitchen maids were delighted to give them sweets, but in truth, the maids couldn't deny the sweetie that was a tiny princess.
Since their arms were full of snacks, using the vents were out of the question, so they were walking down the corridor when they were spotted by the four other children.
"There they are!" Ruby exclaimed.
CJ and Allura looked up and saw Hunk, Pidge, Keith, Lance, Rachel, and Ruby heading their way. CJ looked at the two de-aged maids before she turned towards Allura. "Why did I have to wear a dress, when they get to wear oversized shirts?"
"We're only wearing these because we didn't have anything else," Rachel pointed out.
"I have more dresses you can borrow! Follow me!" Allura headed for her room.
Keith looked at the two currently eldest pilots. "Tell Coran and Nanny that we found Allura."
Hunk and Pidge nodded and made their way back to castle control. Keith, Lance, Ruby, and Rachel hurried after Allura and CJ. They entered Allura's room and were surprised to see it slightly messy. There were several, fancy, child sized dresses flung over the bed.
Ruby and Rachel rushed over to the selection, wanting to get dressed in proper clothes.
While the girls were choosing their dresses, Keith asked, "Do either of you know how this happened?"
"Of course, I know! It was my experiment yesterday! It wasn't supposed to do this, but it's fine."
"Fine? We're three-years-old!"
"Relax, Keith. It'll wear off by morning." CJ muttered under her breath, which Keith didn't hear, "I think."
"I'm wearing this!" Ruby pulled out a white dress that had what looked like cherry blossom petals swirling around the full skirt.
Rachel pulled out a dark blue dress that looked out of place in the collection of light colors. It was sleeveless and had a slightly shorter skirt, ending at her knees, when she held it up to herself. "I like this one!"
The girls hurried to the en suite bathroom and changed into the dresses. They came out, carrying the shirts they had been wearing. The boys were so mesmerized by the sight of their girlfriends in such pretty dresses that they missed the looks the girls were giving each other.
Rachel whispered into Ruby's ear, making the other girl giggle. The two girls dug through the pile again and pull out another two dresses, heading for their boyfriends. They pulled them into the bathroom and had them face away from each other.
"You two need better clothes. You should wear these!" Rachel giggled as she and Ruby held out the dresses they had just picked up.
"I'd rather just stay in my pajama top, darling."
Lance shrugged. "Sure?"
"But, sweetheart, Lance is doing it."
Keith briefly glanced over to see his best friend unbuttoning his pajama top, adverting his gaze back to his girlfriend, who was still holding out the red dress she had found. He sighed. "Fine."
Once the boys had their pajama tops off, the girls helped them into the dresses. Keith's dress was short sleeved and down to his ankles. Lance's was also short sleeved but the front ended at his knees while the back ended lower (at his ankles). While Keith looked like he was pouting at having to wear the dress, Lance was wearing it with confidence, giving everyone the idea that he may have worn a dress before.
Allura clapped her hands as the four exited the bathroom. "Oh! You all look so pretty! We should do your hair, Keith!"
Keith's hands immediately buried themselves in his still long hair. "Nuh-uh. No way, princess." He eyed CJ. "How sure are you that this is ending tomorrow morning."
"Pretty sure. Maybe 95%...85% sure. Well, maybe make that 75% sure."
Fin
Author Note 2: To CJ's credit, it did wear off the next morning.

The Trouble with Being Useful part 2
Lance had been gone for a long time. Like a long time. Almost the equivalent of eight Earth months. He had missed birthdays, celebrations, parties, meetings, bonding, missions. Granted he knew he likely would, it just hurt knowing he was missing so much of his friends’ lives to fight in battles.
Fighting for the Resistance was a lot different than fighting with Voltron, and even from the way that Keith described his missions with the Blade. Instead of stealth missions or space battles, Lance was on the ground, in the heart of them. He had no idea how different fighting on the ground was from in the air. It was almost like it was a completely different war.
Granted he did fight a few as a pilot, complete a few air and space missions, but it seemed where they really needed him was on the ground. He climbed quickly, though I was likely due to the fact that officers and non officers alike didn’t last very long. He had been witness to a few of his commanding officers take a fatal blaster shot.
These particular  things he kept from the team. He didn’t need them to worry about him. Not when the universe depended on Voltron. So on his bi weekly video calls, he kept them light. hearing about what was happening back at the castle and telling them of all the planets he had been stationed at and his recent promotions. As light as he tried to keep the calls though, it seemed he couldn’t get rid of the tension between all of them. He had basically abandoned them for his own ego after all.
The happy feeling of catching up was always brought to a halt when someone would comment about how long he had been gone or ask him when he would be coming back. He honestly didn’t know, and he knew that they didn’t like that answer, but it was the only one he could give them. He had to wait for his commanding officers to notify him, and considering they were literally in the middle of a battle, it likely wouldn’t be anytime soon. 
Finally the time came though, when he was gifted a few Spicolian movements of leave following a pretty bad shoulder injury. He kept that from the team too, deciding to surprise them. 
Luckily, Coran was willing to help him, giving him the day that the team would be out of the castle on a training mission for Lance to make his surprise visit. It was simple. He flew in without any trouble, and made his way to his room to take a shower and change into some fresh clothes, opting for a newer outfit as it seemed all of his older clothes were a bit too small. 
He hadn’t notice how much he had changed in that 8 months. He was taller now, granted he was pretty tall before, but he seemed to have grown a few inches. His shoulders were a little broader, and though he was still lean, he was more muscular. His hair was longer too, it wasn’t a mullet like Keith’s, no he would rather die than have that, but it did reach his jaw now, the chocolate brown framing his face. He decided against cutting it, he rather liked it now. He slipped into some civilian clothes and made his way to the kitchen to grab a quick snack before heading to the bridge, where he knew the team would soon be to begin their training debriefing. 
He didn’t wait long, simply a few dobashes before the door slid open and he stood up from the seat he had taken earlier. The team was completely engrossed in their conversation as they walked in, paying no attention to the man standing in front of them before Pidge finally looked up and gasped. The rest of the team looked to him with wide eyes, the surprise freezing them in place. 
“Hey guys, guess who’s back!” Lance laughed, breaking the silence. That seemed to launch the group into action, as he was soon encircled by his very tearful teammates. “Aw, I missed you guys too.” 
Allura had given them the rest of the day off, deciding it was much more important to be with their Blue Paladin on his day of return. 
They had taken up post in the lounge, relaxing on the couches as the team asked Lance questions about his time with the Resistance. Finally, Keith had asked the question everyone else was thinking but dreaded the thought. 
“So how long are you staying?” he tried to keep his voice steady, but it was hard. He missed Lance, too much. The castle hadn’t been the same, hadn’t felt the same without him. He missed the jokes, the insults, the bickering, the never-ending noise that came with Lance. Without  him, it was silent, too silent. 
Lance rubbed his injured shoulder at the thought of returning, he knew he had too, he wanted to, but he missed his family so much. “Basically until my shoulder gets cleared.” he almost regretted the words, he forgot that he hadn’t told them about his injuries, more importantly the one that put him out of commission for a bit. 
“What happened to your shoulder?” Shiro asked, the statement reviving a concern he hoped he wouldn’t have to have again. 
Lance hesitated his answer, eventually deciding it would probably do more harm to not tell them. “I uh, caught a few blaster shots in it, completely shattered the head of my humerus and shredded my rotator cuff.” He winced as he recounted the intense pain he had felt when it first happened. 
Everyone else seemed to have the same reaction. “Yeah, it's fine now. I mean they had to basically reconstruct it, and it still really hurts but it's on the mend.” 
“And you’re just gonna go back?” Lance could hear the unease in Keith’s voice. He wanted to assure them that nothing would happen, that he’d be fine, but he knew he couldn’t. He could likely die out there, like so many of the people he fought with. But he could also die here, he almost died here. 
“If they need me, which they do. I have people under my command now.”
They didn’t like the idea of him leaving again, but they knew they couldn’t stop him. He had his mind made. So they spent the time they had with him with enjoyment, dreading the day that he would have to go back. 
Eventually he did go back. It seemed this time that leaving was harder than the first, but he did it. And of course he promised he would be careful and that he would be back soon. 
His second deployment was shorter than the first, only about 5 Earth months, and this time he was able to go back on vacation rather than injury induced leave. When he returned the second time, it was the team that surprised him. They planned an entire party around his return complete with Hunk’s space versions of his favorite foods. Being home made him ecstatic. 
Later that night, Lance found Keith sitting in the lounge long after everyone had gone to bed. He was looking at a hologram of Earth, something Lance used to do on nights like this when he couldn’t sleep. Of course back then it hadn’t been war related nightmares and memories of battle that haunted his mind, but rather homesickness and his insecurities of his place on the team. 
Trying his best not to startle him, Lance sat down in front of Keith, their eyes meeting for the first time since Lance had returned. “You okay man?” he asked. 
Keith looked at him with an expression that pained Lance more than anything. It was then that Lance noticed the familiar jacket that his friend had wrapped around himself, the jacket that Lance had given him when he first left. Keith clutched it to him like he was scared if he loosened his grip he would float away. 
“Is this how it felt when I left?” he finally asked.“Did it hurt this much?” His voice held no malice, but the emotion in it made Lance’s heart drop. He had made Keith feel abandoned for a third time in his life.
He didn’t know how to answer that, it hurt, he knew it hurt. But he also knew that it wasn’t Keith’s fault. Keith wanted to keep the team as together as possible, and Lance couldn’t fault him as he was doing the same thing. 
“It hurt...a lot.” he said simply. “But I think the worst part was not knowing if you were okay or not.” 
It was true, Keith wasn’t the best at communication, especially with the more secretive missions he was on. There were instances in which they had gone weeks without so much as a message from him. 
“That’s why I called so much, I wanted you guys to know that I was okay. That I was alive.” 
“But you weren’t okay.” it was a whisper, but it still held the same feeling as if he had screamed it at the top of his lungs. “You got hurt, and that’s the only one we know of. So much could have happened and we wouldn’t have been the wiser because you weren’t here.” 
“I’m here now.” he placed a hand on his friend’s shoulder, triying to offer Keith a small smile, but he knew that it wasn’t enough. 
“You weren’t when we needed you.”

klance fic | mini skirt lance 🔞
lance loves showing off his leggy body when he wears his mini skirts. so when he saw a tiny black one hanging in the window of a store in the space mall he couldn't resist. the team had gone there under shiro's command to "stock back up on essentials" he knew a mini skirt wasn't exactly something he *needed* but he had missed dressing up nicely like he sometimes did back on earth. he couldn't resist the opportunity to snag the little black number. "lura! let's go in that one!" he called excitedly, snagging allura's hand. her eyes lit up as she caught sight of the clothing store, and lance looked back to the others. "we'll be back, he called." starting towards the store. keith's eyebrows rose questioningly, but he said nothing, turning back to pay attention to shiro who was beginning to lead hunk slowly toward the grocery store, reading from a list of things they needed. lance knew he had been getting on keith's nerves lately, with him exasperatedly telling him that he never took their tasks or missions seriously. he tried not to let it get to him, but it was becoming increasingly more difficult to do. who says just because they're fighting in an intergalactic war that he can't be cute? besides, pidge wasn't even around right now, she had dragged coran with her to the nearest video game store, and allura willingly came with him, also interested in buying something to wear. so if keith wanted something to bitch at, he'd have to take it up with all of them. that was only somewhat reassuring to lance though, he didn't enjoy upsetting keith as much as he was sure keith thought he did. but it wasn't enough to stop him from walking through the doors of the store, albeit slightly sulkily. "oh my god lance!" allura squeeled. "look at this!" she said, holding up a purple strappy and sparkly crop top. "that's pretty lura. you should try it on" he encouraged weakly, lacking his usual vigor. he knew it wasn't gonna bypass allura, how his mood had been dampened. the two had grown close since he practically got plucked off earth to fight battles in space. they were best friends. her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at him caringly and cautiously. "are you okay? what's the matter?" she asked. he sighed. "keith's still on my ass. i know he's wondering why i'm wasting time fucking around in a clothing store rather than helping them buy food and supplies" allura took his hands in hers gently, looking into his eyes. "listen" she began. " i love keith, but just because they boy doesn't know how to unwind that doesn't mean that you shouldn't. we've all been working so hard lately. it's not unwise to treat yourself." "you're right, i know" lance sighed. "it's just that..." he turned his gaze elsewhere, cheeks slowing becoming alight. "i just...want him to understand me..." he sulked. allura smiled softly. she knew about lance's personal feelings toward keith. she also knew that keith had his own feelings about lance, he just grew frustrated with himself at not being able to express them, and often ended up projecting that frustration onto lance. he didn't know how to properly express himself. "listen. how about you show him the good that comes out of an impromptu shopping trip? force him to get it!" she smiled cheekily and excitedly. "oh please! he doesn't look my way except to complain about something ive apparently done. give it up allura, he's not into me." it was a conversation they had had time and time again. allura was convinced that keith digged him just as much as lance was into him. she rolled her eyes. "then do it for yourself. buy something you feel good in!" that he could do. he hightailed it over to the mini skirt in the window, allura in tow. "OH. that's the one lance. he won't be able to take his eyes off you" she smirked. lance bit his lips to hide a smile, rolling his eyes at her and signalling for the salesperson at the front.
-2 weeks later-
the team was exhausted and exaxperated. the battle with the galra they had just returned from was a long one. they had won, yes, but not without completely draining themselves. they were a lot of close calls, and things felt dismal. "listen up, team. we're taking the day off tomorrow. we've been working tirelessly, and i know we're all feeling weighed down. so relax tomorrow. do something you like" he told them. it served to be a giant relief to them all, even keith let go a placated sigh. lance woke up with a smile on his face the next day, ready to pamper himself. he spent time doing his favourite skincare rituals and singing to himself. when finished, he walked over to his closet, staring longingly at the mini skirt. "fuck it" he said to himself and put it on. lance trailed into the kitchen where the others sat, already eating breakfast. allura looked up, whooping loudly upon his arrival. "you look amazing lance!" she encouraged. he smiled at her in response. he felt shy under the rest of the group's gaze. shiro only smiled, telling lance to sit and have some breakfast. "lance! bro! you look good!" hunk told him around a mouthful of his food. "thanks buddy." lance smiled genuinely. pidge was fiddling with some game console in her hand, having thrown lance a small smile when he walked in. coran dove estatically into a story about how he used to wear his own fair share of skirts back in his day. and keith... keith is keeping his eyes resolutely on his plate. lance felt a pang of sadness but he quickly pushes it down. he looks GREAT and they finally have a day off. he's not gonna spend time thinking about his unrequited crush at all. he dove into his food. later on in the day, after lazing around and playing dungeons and dragons, lance suggests a game of hiding seek with the castle lights off. shiro and coran have retired to their rooms, so he insists they won't be slowed down by the "old people" allura, hunk and pidge say they're in, and keith does too, albeit reluctantly. "this is...juvenile. but i guess i don't have anything better to do" he says, shrugging. lance looks at him closely. keith hasn't looked him in the eye all day. still he pushes down his disappointment. "okay i'm counting! better go hide you bastards!" pidge yells out excitedly. allura runs in a circle for a solid minute, panicking and giggling before she takes off to the left side of the castle ship. hunk runs to the right, and keith slinks off somewhere stealthily. lance knows exactly where he won't be found, smirking to himself and taking his time walking there. he knows he won't be found in the "secret" door in the back of the library. it's an inconspicuous looking door, in the back left corner. the only way he'd found it because he was sulking one day alone, sitting on the floor of the library thinking about his family back home, resting his back against what he'd originally thought was the wall. it felt different, and after running his hands over it, he came across a doorknob sized button, and upon investigation, found that if pushed it the "wall" slid up to reveal an open room. in it was a massive floor to wall window, where he'd sat many nights gazing out at the stars. "fucking altean technology" lance mused to himself, stepping through the space upon arrival. he hurried over to his favourite spot where he liked to perch by the glass. except, he tripped over some lump like object. "shit!" he hissed palms slapping onto the tiled floor. "what the fuck man?" a disgruntled voice called. "keith??? how the hell did you get in here!?" lance asked, infuriated. "how did YOU get here? how do you even know about this place?" keith demanded.

Happy Mother’s Day
word count: 1026
plot: Team Voltron celebrates mother’s day
a/n: I wrote this up for y’all bc I haven’t been super active for a few days and wanted to throw out there I’m still alive, I’ll be back soon, I hope you enjoy, and if you’re a mom or mom friend, happy mother’s day lovely🥰🌸 if you’re not a mom or mom friend, make sure you let the moms and/or mom friends in your life know you appreciate them💜
warning(s): none, pure fluff, unless you count accidentally being ignored
Tumblr media
Walking around the castle, you were concerned by the overall weirdness going on. You had gotten up early, in a great mood, ready to have a nice day with your team because Coran had found a position where the team couldn’t be found and all agreed on having a nice break, take a small breather from the craziness life had thrown your way.
You had checked in on Shiro, hoping the two of you could spar some, he had insisted he was catching up on some very important stuff, whatever that was supposed to mean. Lance and Keith give just as horrible excuses when you asked them to train or swim with you, and Pidge just mumbled something about being in the middle of an important reboot before launching herself to the other side of her workspace. Allura and Coran both claimed it was cleaning day, but brushed you off when you offered your help due to ‘Altean equipment requires Altean work’. However, it wasn’t until you had stumbled into the kitchen, and found Hunk there, that you knew something was off.
Seeing him in the kitchen wasn’t the odd part, the two of you often cooked and baked together, both teaching the other techniques and recipes. You shared a passion for seeing the smile on others' faces as they ate your meals, the odd part was that even he brushed you off, claiming he was making a top secret family recipe that he couldn’t share, even with you.
Your good mood was slowly fading as you realized your team just didn’t seem interested in spending time with you.
Determined to make the most out of what was left of your day, you went back to your room and made small bags for each of them, filled with a water bottle, some candy you had handmade recently, and a little something personal to each bag that you knew they’d appreciate. Just as you were finishing the final one, Alluras voice rang throughout the castle, requesting your presence on the deck.
Part of you was overjoyed, finally you were needed for something, your urge to help with whatever being needed pushing you to grab your goody bags and press out the door. You had planned on stopping by and dropping off the bags as you made your way to your destination, but every room you peeked your head in, expecting to find one of your dear teammates, was empty. Every single one.
This worried you, your team was extremely predictable and for none of them to be where they were expected was unsettling to you. You sighed and finally made your way to the deck.
The lights were out when you got there and you feared you had took too long and Allura no longer required your assistance, but just as you turned to start your search for anyone, the lights flickered on causing you to freeze, and a chorus of familiar voices almost caused you to drop all the gifts you had made.
“Happy Mother’s Day!!!”
They all shouted in unison. You looked around the room, noting a hand-written banner, some balloons, and a small stack of gifts sat on a table next to some dishes you had seen Hunk making earlier in the day.
Laughing, you look at each of your crew.
“What on earth is all of this for?” You asked as you made your way towards the table.
“It’s Mother’s Day back on earth, and you're the mother of the team, Y/n.” Lance stated, as if it were obvious.
“You always work so hard and take care of us, we just wanted to do something nice to celebrate you.” Shiro finished for him, a kind smile on his features.
You grinned and set down their bags before pulling them in for a group hug.
“You guys seriously didn’t have to do all of this.”
“We wanted to, Y/n.” Keith said softly.
“You totally deserve it for having to deal with these guys.” Pidge stated.
You all enjoyed spending some time together. You ate Hunk’s delicious food, and each Paladin gave you their Mother’s Day gift and insisted you opened them. You couldn’t quite remember a time you had felt as loved as you did in that moment.
Once everyone was about ready to call it a night, but not quite ready to head for the crew quarters, you remembered the small gifts you had made each of them.
“Oh! I almost forgot!” You passed each of them their bags and sat back down with a smile. “You all seemed so hard at work today, and so focused, that I wanted to give you a little something sweet to put a smile on your faces.” You mumbled, a blush creeping on your face as they just stared at you.
Lance burst out in laughter, causing you to blush harder. “This is why you’re the mom friend, Y/n.” He stared as he opened his bag and peered in, quickly sobering as he noted its contents, a genuine smile replacing his teasing one as he hugged you.
One by one the rest of them opened their small gifts and thanked you for the small bits of home you had somehow obtained for each of them.
It wasn’t much, your gifts nor their surprise party, but it was enough for all of you. As you all went to bed that evening, hearts light and smiles seemingly permanently etched onto your faces, you realized that while you missed earth, you were home right where you were, and you finally had a family that loved you as much as you loved them.
You knew then, as you snuggled with a little space stuffed animal Lance had bought you, smiling at the picture Shiro framed that now sat on your desk, the twinkling lights Pidge had rigged to not require electricity dancing faintly across the room, stomach still full from Hunks meal, Allura and Corans Altean gown hung on your closet, and a new sword from Keith displayed beside it, that you would absolutely die for your team, and that you had finally found where you belonged.

I was looking through my google docs for nostalgia and I found the beginning of what looks like an angsty Lance Voltron Fanfic, so here you go I guess lol. I think it’s based around when Shiro wasn’t... yknow....Shiro? Like, after the second season finale.
Anyway, here you go: the beginning of an Evil Shiro and Lance angst fanfic:
As night fell upon the paladins of Voltron and their comrades, all but one fell into deep sleeps after a grueling day of madness and relief.
Shiro had finally returned to the Castle of Lions, escaping yet another Galra “capture”, if it could really be called that. As almost everyone got settled in with their original leader, they all went to their rooms satisfied and happy. Well, most of them, that is.
Lance had an undying loyalty to Shiro and Voltron, and he believed himself to be rather close to the team, but two things kept him awake that night, breathing heavily and holding back his emotions.
First, although Lance was glad Shiro was back, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was...off. Shiro literally just vanished after a major fight with Zarkon, only to finally come back with long hair, a beard, and torn up clothes, castaway style? On top of that, he had nearly no recollection of what happened before he escaped either. And, as heartless as it may sound, Lance believed if Shiro really had tried to escape from the Galra by himself, as he confessed to, he would certainly not make it a half a lightyear away before getting shot down by Galra tech or being recaptured. Everyone seemed to brush these facts off, but for some reason, Lance couldn't shake the weird feeling he got whenever he thought of the circumstances in which Shiro returned to them.
Second, since Shiro finally returned, he would have to go back to piloting the Black lion, right? And Lance was sure Keith would demand Red back, but he couldn't just take Blue away from Allura. They already had bonded and become so close, it wouldn't feel right to Lance if he just took her back. He also couldn't just hang around and help Coran, considering he knew next to nothing about the castle, Alteans, the Galra, or even the space region they were in. That only left one option for the misunderstood “hero”.
He would have to leave Voltron.
Lance hated the idea of being separated from his new family for even a couple quintants, but as he looked at his options, it was the one with the best effects for the rest of the team, even if it didn't quite work out in his favor.
Speaking of the rest of the team, as Lance sadly drifted into sleep, he could only think about the reactions of his “friends” as they found out he wouldn't be around anymore.
Shiro would be glad to have a better and more focused Blue Paladin.
Keith would be relieved that Lance wouldn't mess up anymore missions.
Hunk and Pidge would be happy to not have a selfish lowlife annoying them whenever they were working on new ideas, whether they be for the castle or cooking.
Allura would be ecstatic that the perv Lance is wouldn't be there to harass her anymore.
Coran would be able to be proud of the better, fully functioning, and new Voltron team.
As Lance continued to imagine what the others really thought of him, he realized he probably wouldn't be able to go to bed anytime soon. Lance slowly sat up and quickly wiped away the tears budding at his eyes, as if to fool himself that they were never there. He then slipped on some shoes and quietly started walking around in the halls of the gigantic castle.
‘Maybe a little water will help me sleep,’ Lance thought to himself as he tiredly made his way to the kitchen, which seemed weird when Hunk wasn't in it testing out new recipes. As he opened the weird Altean fridge, Lance couldn't help but cringe at the sight of nunvill, and quickly took a bottle of what looked to be sparkling water. If he remembered correctly, they had gotten the water from Olkarion the last time they had visited, and it seemed to be drinkable. Thankfully, after Lance’s first sip, he realized he was right, and nearly downed the whole bottle in a couple of giant gulps.
Once he finished his late night drink, Lance sighed with satisfaction and threw the bottle into the trash compactor. As he started to make his way back to his room, Lance suddenly remembered how easily lost he could get in the castle, so he decided to pay attention to the halls and take his time. This, however, did not go quite as planned once Lance started hearing footsteps behind him. He turned around, only to be greeted by the smiling face of his leader, Shiro. Lance was a little stunned Shiro was up so late, but he quickly brushed off the awkwardness in the room and decided to address his leader.
“Hey Shiro. It's been a while, hehe,” Lance shakily breathed out as the atmosphere between them got extremely uneasy and the Black Paladin’s smile slowly vanished, “anyway, what's keeping you up so late?”
All Shiro did was stare blankly into the Blue Paladin’s eyes, which set off something in Lance. Some sort of warning sign, that had been gnawing at Lance since Shiro returned, finally started screaming inside his head, telling him to run as fast as he could, for as long as he could, until he reached safety. Lance finally acknowledged this urge to flee, and decided to go with it.
“O-ok then...I'm gonna go if that's ok with you, bye!” Lance announced, as if he wasn't talking to a real person.
As Lance turned towards the halls again, he started walking, only to be interrupted by the former Galran prisoner.
“You're not going anywhere,” A malicious voice, sounding of death, told the now horrified Blue Paladin. This voice, whoever it belonged to, was not Human, Altean, or even Galran, and it certainly wasn't Shiro’s.
After the voice spoke, Lance could hear sudden loud and fast footsteps behind him. He didn't hesitate, look back, or trip as he bolted through the nearly labyrinth styled castle walls. Lance could hear his telltale heart beating inside his chest, as if it were going to explode. His running stayed consistent for a couple of moments, until he slowly and terrifyingly realized he had gotten lost.
As the thing behind him got closer, Lance grew more and more anxious. His head darted around the walls of the castle, making sure there was another path to go through. Finally, Lance managed to lose his so called leader. As he slowed down, his lungs felt inflamed and he rested onto the wall in front of him.
“Wait,” Lance started as he continued to hyperventilate. He stood up slowly and backed away from the wall, “that means-,”
“You've hit a dead end, Paladin,”
Oo cliffhanger. Well, more of “I stopped writing this just when it was getting interesting because school was going crazy”. I think I wrote this like 3 years ago, jeez. Anyway, hope you enjoy. If you guys like the prompt I might pick up where I left off, but I forget everything about voltron lol. The finale destroyed me (lance deserved BETTER)

Allura x Reader - ”Truth”
Tumblr media
Happy 2020! (at least I hope it gets done that soon!) I haven't been inspired lately, but when I do, I get busy from school; so here’s to my first post of 2020
Okay so this has Girl x Girl, (Y/N) in this story identifies as a female. Thank you!! Don't hate on me if you don't read this message.
Afternote: I don't really like the end/middle, I was going to write something different; also it's a little rushed :/
--
It was a late night, or I hope it was night, but there is not really a time of day in space is there? Anyway, I was walking down the halls, late after everyone was presumably asleep. I couldn't sleep after the day we had, it was relaxing, to say the least, but I worry for tomorrow; usually, a peaceful day leads to a painful one.
I was currently walking to the kitchen, maybe food could calm my nerves. As I walked down the hall I dragged my hand against the wall, the feel of the cool altean metal grazing my fingertips.
It felt nice.
Once I had arrived I opened the door, entering the barren room. I grabbed a mysterious protein bar and closed the cabinet before heading back out. The only heard in the hallway was the sound of my footsteps.
I shivered, it was pretty cold. I hugged my sweater closer to my body, the warm cloth warming me up just a bit. It brought a small smile upon my face.
Soon, I had made my way outside the lounge to eat and relax but was interrupted by the sound of laughter and footsteps.
I stood still at the entrance, staying out of sight. It could have been intruders or one of the others having late night fun out and just came back, I didn't want to disturb them if they're having fun...
I just would stay quiet till they left, yeah not eavesdropping in the slightest.
Not creepy, just want to eat.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the beautiful, sweet voice of my crush; Princess Allura. She giggles, ” I had a lot of fun today, haven't been this relaxed in a while!”
”I’m glad you enjoyed it. I loved seeing the stars out by the ocean, I used to do it often when I lived on Earth, ” a slowly sad voice replied, ” but I'm glad we got to s-spend time together like this Princess~” It was the voice of Lance. He always flirted with Allura, whether I was there or not. It always hurt me when he got closer to the princess, pushing me aside.
”I want you to close your e-eyes for a second, I have a gift for you.” Silence ensued. ”Okay open your eyes, gorgeous~!”
She was silent for a second, before saying quietly ”Its a box...?” The clicking of a jewelry box was heard in the silent room. The altean royalty gasped, ” So sparkly! I love it, Lance. But, why are you giving this to me?”
”I-I just wanted to tell y-you that I, ” he paused, taking a breath before continuing his confession, ”I love you Allura...”
I listened to too much. I left, walking with her uneaten protein bar back to her room. It was possible I just listened and overheard their date, it was also possibly nothing. Sitting on my cold bed, I placed the bar away onto a box I had sitting around. I put my head in my hands, trying to calm myself from crying.
Why did I think she would like me back? I'm a lesbian swooning for her, but she's happy with him.
-
I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. The thoughts that plagued my mind kept me up, making me struggle to feel alive throughout the day. Groaning softly, I plopped down harshly onto the couch by a hard-working Pidge with Hunk helping her, sitting beside her. I hung my head back, resting my eyes just for a minute. Or maybe a few...
”(Y/N)!”
I jumped up, hitting my head on the person who was above me’s head. ”Gah! I'msosorry!” I opened my eyes to see Shiro, Keith, who was rubbing his forehead, and the burning lights of the castle beaming directly into my eyes. I flinched and squinted up at them to adjust to it.
”Are you alright? You seem tired, ” Shiro asked concerned.
”Yeah, I'm okay. I didn't sleep much last night, but I'll be fine, I promise.”
”Are you sure?” Keith asked, head tilted in concern. I just nodded, my eyelids falling over my eyes once again, and falling back asleep.
Unknown to me, Allura had stood in the doorway, looking over at my exhausted state. A troubled look spread across her face.
-
”(Y/N)!”
I stopped walking and turned around to see who had called me; it was Allura, her dress flowing behind her as she caught up to me, only slightly out of breath. ”Yes, Princess Allura?”
She stopped right in front of me, looking into my eyes. ”Please, (Y/N), I told you to call me Allura, we're friends after all.”
I blushed a light pink, but still felt the stab in my heart.
”Anyways, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to have a girl's night, just you and me!” she smiled brightly, having the same amount of excitement of a child sliding down the stairs on Christmas day seeing a pile of presents under the tree.
”Isn’t Pidge also a girl?”
”Yes! But we haven't hung out with just each other in soo long!”
I thought about it for a second. Could I get my heart even more broken? Yeah, but did I want to disappoint her? No. ”Let’s do it!” I exclaimed with fake excitement.
-
“So... How’s your day been?” I asked Allura. We were currently sitting in Allura’s Princess chamber, sitting around her bed in bed wear, and hair tied up.
“Oh, I’ve been great!” She smiled but then put on a thoughtful face, “ though it does worry me that we haven’t found any traces of Galra nor have we been attacked this week...” I nodded, agreeing with her comment.
Sighing, “Yeah, that worries me too. Usually, they attack us three times a week!” I ended with a short giggle.
When our laughter died down Allura had an idea, ”Ooh, let's play a game!” She smiled and rushed over to her closet, reaching up to the top shelf and grabbing a light blue box. It was covered in ten thousand years worth of dust. The princess’ tan, delicate hands ran over the top, uncovering some of the dust. On the front of the box, was words written in the Altean language.
I tilted my head, ”what’s that?”
”It is a game I used to play with my friends when I younger, I believe Pidge told me it's kinda like the game you humans play on Earth; Truth or Dare.” I froze a bit, I never really liked the game, but it couldn't be that bad, right?
Yeah... That plan really didn't really work out once the card chosen asked you ’Who do you have a crush on?’
I was quiet, a little flustered, part of me didn't want to answer but how the game was played, if you refuse to answer or forfeit the question or dare, you would have to choose a punishment ranging from stripping down to your underwear to the higher range of drinking mysterious liquids. But, I couldn't lie either, there was a centerpiece of the game which picked up if you were lying, and it would give the person who lied a small shock until they gave the truth...
”Umm...” I thought about it, instant rejection, or horrible punishment?
”Common (Y/N), ” she dragged out my name. ”Who do you like?!”
”I... I have a crush on you Allura, but I know you don't like me back solet'sjustmoveonokay?” I sputtered out speedily, not wanting to face the truth. Facing away from her, I hid my crimson colored face.
”(Y/N)..., ” Allura was quiet. Suddenly, I felt her soft hands on my face, bringing it back over to face her concerned face. ”Why would you think that? That I don't like you in that way?”
”I-I...” I looked up into the innocent eyes staring back at me.
”I heard you and Lance last night. I-I didn't want to interrupt your n-nice evening w-with him, y-your h-h-happy with him, who am I t-to stop th-that?” I dragged on, eyes looking away from her.
”Ohh, (N/N)...” she held a short chuckle, ”I didn't like him in that way; I only see you in that type of way. I love you (Y/N).”
Tears glaze my eyes, ”really?”
”Of course.”

The betrayed
Trigger warning: Death. Mind controlled romance.
The team did it!! They captured Lotor in a battle!! Which was really fun and exciting for them cause it ment they where winning- and it made Lance happy the most because the team seemed to care about him... They where nice, fun, and payed attention to him instead of yelling... Of course it never stayed that way. Eventually Keith came back and... Well thats six palidens and only five lions.. Red stopped replying to him when Keith came back and blue put up her shield- she put her sheild up against lance.
Lance tried to be positive, but Coran didnt need that much help around the castle so lance found himself spending more and more time 'gaurding' Lotors cell. No one even bat an eye when he just popped onto the kitchen for food and then left... One day he heard them talking about how they had the 'perfect palidens.' And how they couldnt figure out what changes they made that lead to them doing so much better. They didn't even realize Lance was in the room with them. He was trusting the white haired galra more then his own team... And it felt right.
The team only noticed that Lance was missing the same day that realized Lotor was missing. Lance had broke the one person who made him feel special out. He unlocked the cell and walked out of that life with the Galra prince. The team didnt understand why they where suddenly loosing battles, all the lions soft spots got hit by one ship they could never take down. Surely Lance wouldnt have told the galra- he must be captured and tortured to give the information! He wasnt a traitor, not their Lance. Well this isnt their Lance.
Lance wasnt being tortured or hurt in anyway, in fact, he was treated almost as royalty. He was soon given command of a fleet after, erm, 'Showing his Loyalty' to the Galra prince.. That was an interesting night for the other people trying to sleep in that hallway. He fought against Voltron and knew their tactics, back up plans, and back up plans for their back up plans. He never let on it was him, even when they got in his ship- he was on top of his game, and in his element. He wouldnt be hurt by them again.
Lotor was of course, proud of his little ocean, but was that really the Galra prince we know? The team never saw him before they captured him, so they didnt know that glowing purple eyes wasnt normal for Galra royalty.. Lance didnt know either until one day the eyes werent glowing and his Prince- the person he gave up everything for... Turned on him in an instant. Attacked him im a moment of peace and comfort. Lance was so confused, he begged to know why Lotor was hurting hom. The prince didnt remember 'his little ocean.'
Lance felt betrayed- of course he did. Turns out the one person who made him happy- that made him feel special, was being mind controlled the whole time he knew him... And even on the best night if his life. Lance broke down sobbing that night when he was thrown in a cell. He didnt care anymore- he wanted to be home, with his mom and dad and siblings and cousins.. He wanted to be back home with tbr oceans and thr lakes and the rain, and more plants then you can count... He missed his big blue ball of a planet.
Two months. Thats how long the ex paliden had been in the cell. Two months of excruciating loneliness... Two months left alone to his thoughts alone, and it wasnt looking pretty. He didnt care if Lotor was mind controlled at this point- he just needed someone to hold him and care for him and tell him its ok, this is all just a bad dream and that he was loved. Wouldn't that be nice- if everything worked out like a preasent on Christmas. Two months ago vltron won the war and things where not going well for Galra.
Galra where dying left and right- no one was safe. Lotor had realized his mistake at this point and ran to the cell the threw thr broken Paliden in months ago... Last card he had. He played the game the witch had started, gave Lance the attention he needed... Then asked for the earthling to fight with him. His father was dead- if they won hed be emperor and lance would rule by his side. Of course... This was all a lie. The second Lotor was crowned hed throw lance back in thr cell or kill him on spot. Of course 'His little ocean' didnt know.
Lance agreed in the second it took to breath and went to grab his gun. He was just a boy from cuba... But for the love of his life, for the person who made him feel loved and special, hed fight until he was just a John Doe. Normally he abandond the 'Victory or Death' mentallity of the Galra, but today, in this last battle he had- it was everything in his mind. He wouldmt let them lay a HAND on his prince. No one touches the only person who cared about him and gets away with it. Not on his watch.
Lance walked out with the best of the best, killing all ehi was on the opposite side. He didnt care about the royalty, or anyone else fighting with him. He cared about the person in the castle- who, unbeknownst to lance, was getting in an escape pod to leave Lance for death... And thats what happened. Lance was the last one standing, the five palidens of Voltron standing infront of him. As hunk fired the last shot on Lance, his last words where heard by all living on that planet- and the one flying away. The one who made a statue in honour of his betrayed ocean. The one who took victory or death to a new level, who was killed by his friends. The one killed as something similar to rain fell in the planet. Mabey the universe gave him one last wish... Mabey the universe wanted him to be surrounded by something he missed in his last moments... The universe calmed the storm so a betrayed and broken human could speak his final words for all to hear and remember for the rest of their lives.
"I love you- my Prince."

Jackets - March Klance Prompts from MonthlyKlance - Day 10
And finally the block on this word clears....
 Two angsty tales of two jackets
 Keith's jacket
 "He left his jacket."  Lance sat on Keith's bed holding the red jacket.  Hunk stepped inside and let the door close behind him.
 "I found him, Pidge."  Hunk spoke into a com as he sat next to Lance.
 "Where is he?" Pidge channeled her worries into anger and Lance cringed at her voice.
 "Keith's room." Hunk answered.
 "Oh."  Pidge deflated over the com in that one word.  "I'll be there."
 "He just left it behind, Hunk."  Lance held the jacket up, like it was to blame.
 "I see that.  Do you think we should send it to him or something?  I mean, maybe we can drop it off sometime at a Blade outpost?" Hunk offered, though his doubt crept into his voice.
 "I don't understand why he left it."  Lance stared at the jacket, eyes as round as saucers like somehow under all the stitches there was an answer hidden.
 The door slid open and Pidge stepped in.  She met eyes with Hunk who shook his head sadly and she looked away.  She took a deep breath and climbed onto the bed behind Lance and wrapped her arms around him.  
 "Found you."  She whispered.
 "Wasn’t hiding and I think you mean, Hunk found me."  He huffed.
 "Could have fooled us."  Pidge leaned against him.  "We were looking for you for the last varga."
 "I'm sorry.  I was going to…I left a t-shirt in here last week and I wanted to come and get it and then I found…"  Lance just held up the jacket.  "Why'd he just leave it?"
 "He probably can't wear it with his Blade uniform, you know?"  Hunk offered.  "You should keep it safe for him, till he comes back."
 "Is he? Coming back?"  Lance looked over to Hunk.  "I mean, did he say anything to you about coming back?"
 "No."  Hunk bowed his head and broke eye contact.
 "He'll be back Lance.  He'll visit at least, right?" Pidge tried.
 "It's my fault."  Lance whispered.
 "No! No way."  Hunk argued "Why would you think that?"
 "I told him there were too many paladins.  I wanted him to see that I should step down."  Lance started
 "NO!"  Pidge snapped.  "No. Just no.  There is no way you should step down."
 "Pidge, it's…I mean…you and Hunk are geniuses, Keith and Shiro are better pilots and better fighters, and Allura is a serious bad ass not to mention how awesome her and Blue are doing.  It just made sense.  It's not like I would have run off.  I could have stayed and helped Coran with the castle or gone on missions where you needed cover, just wouldn't have been a paladin."  Lance tried to explain.
 "How does this make Keith leaving your fault?"  Pidge asked, still a little angry about Lance suggesting he step down.
 "I told him.  I was nervous and I don't think I explained right.  He said to leave the math to you Pidge."  Lance gave her a sad smile.  "And then he left.  Did he think I wanted him to leave?"  Lance asked desparate.
 "No."  Hunk denied. "Nothing you said suggested that and you guys were working together great as Red and Black paladins.  Him leaving was about him Lance, I'm sure."
 Lance nodded, looking back at the jacket.
 "He just left it behind, like it didn't matter.  I thought he cared about this thing.  I thought it was important to him and he just left it."  Lance's eyes were shining with unshed tears. "How could he just leave it? Did something change?  Did he decide he didn't like it anymore? Doesn't it fit right anymore?"
 "Lance,” Pidge rubbed his back with her hand.
 Lance's shoulders shook and the tears started to fall.  
 "We're here for you."  Hunk leaned over put his shoulder against Lance's shoulder.
 "I don't understand why he just left it."  Lance sobbed before turning and burying himself in Hunk's arms. Pidge curled around him and they let him cry until he fell asleep clutching the red jacket.
 Lance's jacket
 Keith sat in front of the cryopod still wearing Lance's jacket and wondering how this day had gone so spectacularly wrong.  Keith had been on a Blade mission in the same area as the castle and it had completed early.  Kolivan said that he wouldn't have a transport for him until the designated time, two quintents from now, and that he should see if he could stay at the castle.
 Allura and Shiro had been happy to let him stay.  Allura said that they were taking a much-needed break and wondered if he would join them.  They were going to a local festival to relax.  There weren't supposed to be any issues.
 Keith had agreed.  He'd been a little surprised to find his room still intact, but he'd changed into some casual clothes, jeans and a long-sleeved black shirt, he couldn't find his jacket, and went to the common room to meet the others.
 "Keith?"  Hunk asked from the kitchen and then Pidge echoed from the couch.  They both rushed over and gave him hugs.  Hunk's warm and all encompassing, Pidge's sharp and near rib breaking.
 "Miss me?"  He laughed. He knew he had missed them a lot. The Blade weren't much for hanging out during free time and he had been spoiled by his time in the castle.  He wasn't the loner he used to be, and the solitary time was hard.
 "Oh course, you dope."  Pidge slugged him in the arm.
 "Ow. Been working out more I see." Keith rubbed the sore spot on his arm, ever amazed at the power Pidge could put behind her fist.
 "Eh, you know how it is."  Pidge scoffed, but her smile was pleased.
 "What?"  Lance's voice echoed behind him.  
 Keith turned and smiled and waved.
 "When did you get here?"  Lance asked with his face frozen in shock.
 "Um, just a few dobashes ago.  I finished my last mission up early and Kolivan didn't want to send transport early. So, I needed a place to stay for a couple of nights.  Allura and Shiro said it was okay and invited me to go with you to this festival?" Keith shrugged.
 "Oh, so just visiting?"  Lance's face went from frozen to frown.  "Nice to see you."  Only when he said it, it didn't really sound nice at all.
 Keith returned the frown, "Yeah, you too.  Don't get emotional or anything, not like I haven't seen you for a few months."
 "Yeah, haven't seen or heard from you.  Your communicator must be broken."  Lance snarked.
 "Hey, guys, let’s get on down to the shuttle, Shiro is flying us down for the festival and we don't want Space Dad to leave without us, right?"  Hunk offered wedging himself between the two frowning boys.
 "Yeah, festival time.  Keith, Allura said they had something like a carnival with games and all kinds of junk food."  Pidge pulled his arm dragging him to the door.
 "I like junk food."  Keith muttered, still stinging from Lance's reception.
 "I know, so come on."  She grinned up at him as the left, throwing a worried look back at Lance before they turned the corner into the hall.
 "Lance, hey," Hunk started.
 "Don't. I know.  I'm being an ass.  I just." Lance blew out a breath and ran his hand through his hair.  "I thought for a moment he'd actual come back, but he's not staying."
 "Not this time, not now, but maybe someday.  And do you really want to miss out on the time he is here, worrying about when he won't be again."  Hunk put an arm around Lance and steered him into the hall.
 "Oh, wise and warm Hunk, I will heed your advice."  Lance mocked chuckling as they made their way to meet their friends.
 The festival was something like a country fair.  There were baking contests, games, animals, rides, and a diverse group of people. This planet was home to a variety of species that had settled here as it was a crossroads of sorts.  There was a decent sized space port, space mall, places to stay, and warehouses that handled shipping all over the quadrant.
 Lance had seemed less angry by the time they'd gotten to the planet.  Keith did feel bad about not having talked with him, but it's not like the Blade gave him a phone or any communication time whatsoever that wasn't either and emergency or part of a mission.  This was the first time since he'd left that he'd been in the same quadrant as the castle.  Generally, if Voltron was in the area, the Blade considered it covered and didn't run a lot of ops under Allura's nose.
 They'd walked together for a while, but then Hunk and Pidge had peeled off to see some sort of technology display, something about the robotic systems in place in the warehouses.  Allura and Coran had seen a delicacy that they needed to try, which smelled like gym socks to Keith, Shiro and Lance.  The three of them were making their way to the game area.  Shiro was watching some sort of throwing game involving rings and a series of colored hooks.  Keith and Lance were standing back a bit and Keith shivered as a breeze blew across the stand.
 "Should have brought a jacket."  Lance mentioned looking over at Keith.
 "Oh, I couldn't find mine earlier and then I forgot."  Keith shrugged wondering why Lance blushed.
 "Here, I'm not cold."  Lance shrugged out of his jacket and offered it to Keith.  "This blue thing is thicker than that shirt you're wearing."
 Keith looked over and Lance was wearing essentially a sweatshirt and he was cold, "Um…Okay, thanks."  Keith slipped the green jacket on, the sleeves were too long, but it was warm, and it smelled like a mix of sunscreen and sandalwood, just like Lance's skin cream.
 Keith closed his eyes to breath in the scent and that's when he missed it.  The breeze picked up suddenly as he felt a gust push against him.  An angry shout and suddenly Lance was on top of him pushing him to the ground.  There was a sound of something crashing and falling and it then was dark.  
 He woke up in the shuttle on the way back to the castle.  He'd apparently taken a hit to the head when the stand behind them had been blown over by the sudden windstorm.  It had rolled across the pedestrian walkway.  Keith’s frantic eyes found Lance laying on the floor with his head pillowed in Hunk's lap.  Hunk was stroking his hair and whispering to him, though it didn't seen Lance was awake enough to know.
 "Lance?" Keith reached out a hand and cringed when he felt Lance's jacket still over his fingers.
 "He pushed you out of the way of the main part of the booth.  It came down across his chest.  We need to get him to a pod."  Coran answered his unspoken question.  
 They had put him in the pod and Coran said he would be out in about forty varga, give or take a varga.  It was then Keith realized he wouldn't even be there when Lance got out.  He'd be away again with the Blades.  So, he had sat on the floor of the med bay determined to stay here as long as he could.
 "Keith?"  Hunk sat next to him.  "Kolivan called.  They'll be here to pick you up in a few dobashes."
 "Okay."  Keith wiped a tear from his eye.  "I can't believe I'm leaving him here like this.  He pushed me out of the way.  He gave me his quiznaking jacket."
 "I'll let him know you stayed with him until you had to leave."  Hunk offered.
 "Would you?"  Keith turned hopeful eyes to him.  "Do you think it will help?"
 Hunk paused before answering carefully, "I think it will help, some."
 Keith's shoulders fell.  There was no way Lance wasn't going to be hurt when he woke up and Keith wasn't there. He stared down at the sleeves of Lances jacket for several ticks before slipping it off and handing it to Hunk.
 "Please, tell him I'm sorry."
 "I will. Keith, you don't have to go.  You could stay you know.  We'd figure it out."  Hunk tried grasping Keith's arm.
 "No. I have a mission.  I leave tomorrow.  We have a lead on something important.  I have to go and it's solo.  I've been prepping for the last phoeb.  Maybe, after that mission."  Keith stood and waited for Hunk to let go of his arm.
 "If you're sure."  Hunk let go with a sad look.
 "I'm not really."  Keith returned the sorrow and walked away, leaving Hunk waiting in front of Lance's cryopod feeling like he might just have made the worst mistake of his life for a second time.

Stargazing
A/N: Here is another one-shot of my own of Lukeith (Keith and Luka). Hope you’ll like this one! 
@spacelion-loveshermulletson 
Luka was humming a smooth tune in her kitchen in revived Altea as her uncle Coran works away in the New Castle of Lions. She was looking over the ingredients that Hunk had given her to make a pie for a special someone. Luka smiled to herself as she thought of a certain blade agent and blushed light pink as she thought of him.
“I wonder if he’ll like this pie.” Luka wondered as she looked outside to see a couple feeding each other food. She shakes her head, “No, there’s so much work to finish off.”
Somewhere in a planet in the universe, Keith was helping his mother and Kolivan for guarding a diplomatic meeting as he cautiously looked at his wrist comm watch back and forth. Keith was feeling somewhat impatient this time of day. Krolia notices this and grinned, knowing what he will do after this meeting is over.
After the meeting, he met up with Shiro who was holding hands with Curtis who stood by his side. “Hey, Shiro, Curtis.” Keith greeted.
“Hey, Keith. Thanks again for guarding the meeting.” Curtis says.
“Sorry to keep you away from your date.” Shiro said as he winked at him.
Keith blushed deep red as his mother put an arm around him. “Hmm, you could say that. He has been looking at the time, back and forth this entire meeting.” Krolia says looking down at her son with a smile as Keith looked away.
“Guys, you got it all wrong! It is not a date!” Keith exclaimed as he felt his cheeks burning up.  
“Oh, is it now?” Shiro asked as Keith groaned in annoyance.
Meanwhile, Luka is dealing some matters of her own, “Uncle Coran, it is not a date! We are just simply going to eat dinner!” Luka blushed as she follows her uncle into the kitchen.
“Oh, dear niece. It is a date. A grand picnic is a date. You cannot change my mind.” Coran says as he twirled his moustache, seeing the food she was making all morning.
“Oh, please kill me now!” Luka mumbled. There was no way to convince her uncle that her picnic with Keith is not a date. Over and over. She also knew that Keith loved or still loves the Princess.
“Uncle, I am sure he still loves the princess. I mean, he is still mourning over her death.” Luka says sadly as Coran nodded.
“Yes. It is true that Keith truly loved Allura. I am sure he’ll eventually move on.” Coran said as he let Luka be to continue with her baking the Altean pie.
In a Blade of Marmora ship, Keith was in his best attire he could get as Kosmo tilted his head as he smelt some cologne from his master. Keith looked over his reflection in the mirror as he put up his hair in a ponytail neatly. “OK, this looks good.” Keith breathed out shakily as he got a call.  
“Hey, Keith. Getting ready for your date with Luka?” Lance appeared winking at Keith. The former black paladin groaned and gritted his teeth in annoyance. “It is not a date, Lance. It’s just a picnic, nothing more.”
Lance raised an eyebrow at him, “Well, sounds like it. Don’t try and change my mind. Anyways, don’t mess it up. I got to go. Katie and I are going on a movie date night. See ya, team leader.”
“See ya, Lance. Tell Pidge I say hi.” Keith says as he smiled at Lance.
“Will do.” Lance winked as he ended the call.
As Keith landed in Altea, Merla had informed him that she is waiting for her near their meeting place. Keith walked to the field of the juniberry flowers and saw Luka in her purple dress and had her hair in a braid.
Luka then saw him and waved at him shyly. Keith smiled as he walked towards her, with her seeing him carrying a picnic basket as well. “What is it you’re carrying?” Luka asked, leaning in to see what’s inside.
“Uh, I sort of made, something just for you.” Keith smiled at her.
“Oh, that’s wonderful! I have made an Altean pie for you. Hope you’ll like it as much as I do.” Luca exclaimed.” Luca exclaimed excitedly. The two new friends went on a mountain hill and sat underneath the tree. Keith pulled out a blanket while Luka set out the food and drinks. Then sat in silence, “So, how is your mission?” Luka asked.
“Went ok. Just came back from a meeting with Shiro in a planet nearby. Checking in if there’s no danger at all.” Keith replied as he took a bite of the pie. “This is delicious!”
Luka giggled. “That’s great. I, um, shall make more?”
“Yeah, I mean, please.” Keith said politely as he took out a cake from his picnic basket that instantly made Luca drool over.
“Ooh, this looks delicious! You sure you made this, Keith?” Luka asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
“I sort of got some help from Hunk.” Keith replied, rubbing his neck, nervously. He asked Hunk to help him bake a cake so he could impress Luka.
“Well, at least your honest.” Luka hummed. Keith fed her some of the chocolate cake and squealed in delight. “Mmm, this is divine!” Keith chuckled at her bubbly side and Luka then fed him some the pie in return.
Then as night came, the two laid down on the blanket, pointing out some constellations and shape. “Heh, yeah. that does looking like a lion.” Luka laughed.
“There’s one rabbit, there see! There’s a fluffy tail.” Keith pointed up in the night sky seeing the shape of the mentioned animal.
“What’s a rabbit? Is it a dangerous animal that Uncle Coran mentioned?” Luka asked, shuddering while remembering what her uncle has told her. Keith snickered, holding his mouth preventing to laugh out loud. “It’s not funny, Keith!” Luka pouted as she hit him on the arm.
“I promise you, it is not dangerous. It’s cute but can smell fear. Still cute animal though.” Keith says.
“Oh, well. I hope to one day I’ll go to Earth.” Luka hoped as she looked back at the stars. “There is so much things I want to see with my very own eyes! Adventures are fun and extraordinary!”
“Maybe one day, I’ll let you come with me to Earth.” Keith says, looking at Luka with a fond smile.
Luka then turned to Keith with a blush. Then Luka gasped, “Look, the nebula! It is beautiful isn’t it?” Keith looked up and froze as he saw the nebula shaped as Allura. He then sat up looking away from Luka.
“Keith?”
“Sorry, it’s… just… never mind.” Keith says as Luca frowned looking back at the stars.
“You truly miss her. I get that. And you loved her.” Keith looked at her, listening to Luka. “I know what’s it’s like to lose someone you once cared about. But, at times you feel lost and you always will love her, Keith. She would’ve wanted you to live on. I know I may not know her, but I have a feeling that she is a caring and kind person to you. And you loved her even she is not here with you.”
Keith looked back at Luka as she smiled at him as her amber-golden eyes stared into his deep indigo hues. Then he saw Luka coming towards him with a small smile then smashed the chocolate cake into his face.
Luka laughed as soon as Keith threw some of her pie at her. Luka gasped. “Oh, this. This is on, Keith!” Luka grabbed a handful of the cake and threw them at him.
Keith laughed throwing the pie at her. They both ran around the picnic area as Keith got her in his arms as they both fell down on the ground with Luka on top of him. They both laughed as they saw they got food everywhere on their hair and clothes.
“Ah, Uncle Coran won’t even like this at all.” Luka giggled as she took some of the icing off her hair while Keith took off his hair tie to get the food out of his hair properly.
“Yeah, we better get ourselves cleaned up before your uncle kills me.” Keith chuckled.
Luka fixed her hair and put it in a low ponytail. “Well, we do have springs that could wash our clothes off. It’s just somewhere in the castle.”
The two went to the place where little pools can be found in the castle and Keith was amazed by the construction of the place. “This is amazing.”
Luka laughed at Keith who was gaping at the place as she got two towels. “Here. You stay on the other while I stay on the other side. We’ll be very far from each other. Very… very far.” Luka says as she held onto her towel tightly.
“Ok, whatever you say, milady.” Keith joked as Luka laughed a little. Keith took his jacket and top off making Luka seeing his strong build. His muscle on his arms, back and she could see it all. She blushed deep red as she turned away. Ok, Luka. No time fantasying about his strong muscular body. Oh, quiznack!
Keith then took a little peak the wall and saw Luka’s Altean markings on her arms and back. She has her hair pulled back in a bun. He saw her soft curves and petite body as he shook his head and turned back and entered the pool as Luka came with a towel wrapped around her torso, covering her body. There was a fountain in the centre where she washes off the food and icing. Keith stayed on the very end, keeping his promise for Luka.
“So, enjoying yourself?” Luka asked as she washed her hair.
“Yeah, it is actually pretty good.” Keith hummed as he feel the water’s sensation as he walked in the pool.
“I’m glad. This has become my favourite place whenever I wanted to be alone.” Luka says. “It’s peaceful.”
“I know what you mean. Also, you could see the stars form down here.” Keith said looking up at the window ceiling up above.
Luka hummed happily as she swam in the water in her bathers. Keith was only wearing his boxers, he had forgotten his other clothes in the ship. Luka then saw the scar on his right shoulder and then went to him and touched it gently making Keith flinch a little at her soft touch, “When did you get this?”
Keith looked back at Luka who was touching his scar. “When I was going through the Trials of Marmora. One blade did this.”
Luka nodded as she kissed it lightly much to his surprise. Luka then realised what she had done, “O-Oh, I am so sorry! I uh, didn’t know and wasn’t thinking and I uh, got… um. Sorry Keith.”
“It’s ok. No one has ever done that to me before.” Keith confessed, shyly as he looked away, rubbing his neck.
“O-Oh. I see.” Luka blushed deep red, looking away.
Keith then turned to see a red-faced Luka covering her face from him. He chuckled lightly as he took her small hands in his gently. “It’s fine.”
Keith then saw a scar on her forearm. “Oh, got that I was... working with that monster, Honerva. I was inside the pilot’s seat and got my arm scraped.” Luka says. Keith rubbed his thumb against her scar, it was faint but knew it was hard for her working for the enemy against her uncle’s friends.
“You’re safe now. No one can hurt you.” Keith cupped her face to make her look at him as he leaned in as Luka closed her eyes and felt her heart beating fast as they pressed their lips together under a moonlight in the pool.
Luka wrapped her arms around his neck as Keith wrapped his arms around her waist. Their kiss was filled with passion and love. She could feel his strong arms around her as she carcasses his scarred cheek and kissed it as Keith put trials of kisses on her neck with his hand roaming around her soft curves with Luca playing with his raven locks.
They pulled away panting and looked into each other’s eyes laughing as they held onto each other as they looked up at the night sky. Seeing the clear night sky above them and enjoyed the night shining sky.
Keith then heard his wrist comm, beeping as he sighed in disappointment as Luka looked up him in understanding that he is needed. Keith smiled and kissed her temple as he got out of the pool, leaving Luka in the pool.
Keith changed into his blade uniform with Luka still in the pool. “You are going on a mission again?” Luka asked.
“Yeah, going to mission after mission, like always.” Keith replied as he bent down and kisses her on the forehead. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
“Please. Be careful.” Luka pleaded. “Please come back to me.”
Keith then had a mini flashback to hearing the exact same words that Allura once told him long ago after she apologises to him and asked Keith to come back for her. Keith felt his heart broke into two, “I will.”
Keith then kisses her one last time before leaving to his mission, leaving Luka in the pool alone as she looked up at night sky. Luka knew that he is a capable warrior and leader, he can take care of himself.
In Keith’s ship, Keith was on his way to the blade’s headquarters and got a call from Lance. “Hey, man got back from our date! So, how was your ‘not’ date?” Lance asked, while giving him a knowing smile as Keith rolled his eyes.
“Well, it went well, I guess. But…” Keith trailed off.
“Keith, look, I know it hurts and maybe, Allura would wanted you to be happy. She would’ve wanted you to be able to move on and live your life to the fullest.” Lance said, trying to get Keith move on from Allura’s death.
Keith smiled appreciated that Lance is helping him to get through their loss. “Thanks Lance.”
“Your welcome! Oh, uh, I was actually planning on proposing to Katie tonight. Here’s the ring.” Lance said, showing the green and blue diamond ring in the ring box. Keith leaned in to see the details.
“Proposing to Pidge, huh? Wow, good luck Lance.” Keith chuckled.
“Heh, thanks man. So, anyways, I better get going and proposing. Good luck with things between you and Luka.” Lance winked as he ended the call.
Keith sighed and leaned back on his chair as Kosmo came and whined. “It’s ok boy. Maybe Lance is right. I should move on. It will at least make Allura happy.” Keith said as he looked back at his picnic basket and walked to it and took out a small amber-golden necklace made by him. He was about to give it her but never had the courage to give it to her.
Kosmo tilted his head at his master. “It’s ok, boy. Maybe next time. I will give it her. Hopefully.” Keith said as he pet him on the head.
Luka was in her room watching the stars again and heard knocking on her door, seeing her Uncle. “Hello, sweetheart. How was your date with Keith?” Coran asked.
Luka smiled brightly at him as she looked away. “Oh, so it was a date!” Coran chuckled happily. “Hmm, I approve.”
“Oh, Uncle. It was amazing. But it was cut short and he was needed for a mission with the Blades.” Luka said.
Coran nodded in understanding. “Well I wish the two of you big happiness in the future.” Luka smiled as she watched her Uncle leaving her in her room as she looked back at the stars, thinking about Keith and hoping that Keith comes back safely to her when she sees him again.
In the Blade headquarters, Keith saw his mom, Krolia waiting for his arrival in the hangars. He saw that she was smiling. “So, how did that date go?”
Keith blushed and looked away. “I guess. It went well.”
“Oh, I am so proud of you my boy!” Krolia says as she wrapped her arm around his neck. “I am glad that you are having a great time. Maybe you can take her to Earth someday.”
Keith smiled and agreed with his mother. “Yeah, I could do that. Without being interrupted this time. And I may have forgotten o give her that necklace.”
Krolia stopped and looked back at her son, “What?! Keith, it took you months to make that necklace!”
“I know, I know. It’s just I hesitated. I was about to give to her the necklace.” Keith exclaimed and left out a tiny fact that he kissed Luka. He was too embarrassed to tell her that now.
“Ugh, you are so much like your father.” Krolia sighed. “He always forgets the most important things to give to the one he loves.” Krolia and Keith walked into the hallways to the meeting room.
Keith looked at his mother and opened his mouth open and closed as he hesitate to speak up. “What is it, Keith?” Krolia asked, seeing that he wants to ask her something.
“Um, well, is it alright if I be off mission for a month? I just wanted to ask Luka out for another date on Earth. You know, take her to places and stuff.” Keith requested as he rubbed his back nervously with a loving smile, looking away from his mother.
“Of course, Keith.” Krolia replied, putting her hand on his shoulder. “I want you to be happy. And I know your father wanted you to be happy.”
Keith smiled and hugged his mom. “Thanks Mom.” The two went to the meeting room as Keith looked out of the window and saw the stars shining brightly. He smiled, knowing that Allura will always watch over him and the other paladins.

Allura still tired after rejuvenating the balmera sat in a field of flowers with the Ai Version of her father in the memory chamber
“So how have you been my darling daughter?”Alfor asked
“ I've been thinking about altea or mother. it only feels like yesterday that I was walking with her though the gardens back home or how we would come to a field like this  an play. I truly miss those day.” Allura said sadly
“I know its hard right now. but remember a leader must do what is right even if it means make the ultimate sacrifice.” the old king said
“ I know” Allura said even sadder now thinking about how her sacrifice would a effect her new team but that time would hopefully never come. But if it did she hopped they all understood and forgave her .
Suddenly the door to the chamber opened and coran stepped in to the chamber
“ Princess you should be in bed resting.” Coran said with a stern look on his face
“Sorry Coran” She said as she was getting up almost falling over
Coran helped walk allura out of the chamber
“ See you later father” Allura said
As the Allura And Coran  left the room the holographic field faded out but before Alfor faded out he flickered them disappeared
in Allura room  
“Now princess please get some rest” Coran said leading allura to her bed 
“alright Alright I will get some rest Coran” She said as she was getting into her bed 
“ Good to hear .Now goodnight princess see you in the morning” Coran said as he was leaving the room.
“goodnight Coran”She said back as the lights in her room dimmed 
IN the Hanger of the green lion pidge and beau were studying the galra power crystal 
Pidge was studying the galra crystal that sendak had tried to use to power the castle of lions with Beauregard 
“So how do you think they made it purple?“ Beau asked
“I think it might just before a different belmare” pidge replied 
“maybe its magic“ Beau counter
Pidge was about to said magic didn’t exist but she has a bond with a flying giant green lion robot that combine with five other flying lion to make a giant fighting robot. A alien princess whose life force was connected to said lion  and  Martian who could turn in a ten foot lizard man with a talking dragon  . So she couldn’t write magic off the list of possibilities. “Maybe I don't know but it is a possibility “ pidge said
Over the speakers coran’s voice said” to pidge and Jay pleace make your way to the detainment room please 
Pidge  was annoy that she was being interrupted. But she make her way to the detainment room
“  Hey are you coming along Beau?” she asked 
“I'm all ready there“ beau said. then he lift sentry he was inhabiting leaving it still as it’s visor color changed from the blue to green.  
pidge stared at the sentry for a few seconds wondering about how beau could jump from vessel to vessel so fast. she might have to ask him later about it. Then she left the room leaving the sentry to guard the now glowing ominous crystal    
A few minutes later everyone was in the detainment room expect for three
“Hey where is jay and fitz?” Hunk asked 
“ they stayed back to double checking the list of thing we took back on the balmera” Rolo said arms crossed
“ Now that we know Jay whereabouts. What are we doing here Coran?” Adam asked
“We're here to get information from sendak” coran said 
“ How are you going to do?”  Shay asked
“ I going to use the memory extractor system“Coran said 
“ So your going to probe Sendaks mind then”lance said 
“Yes but with Sendak being unconscious and unwilling to give us the information. It might not work”  coran said while hooking up the memory extractor.
 “yes but if it dose work we have information on the command structure of the empire military ” Nyma said
“ Ok what are we waiting for lets get to extracting that info” Beau said mimicking Jays voice
Thirty minutes later
“  So how long have we been waiting for ?” Lance asked
“  thirty minutes” Beau replied 
“Ok then I'm going to go train ” Keith said 
“ Can I tag along?” Rax asked
“ Alright anyone else want to join us?” Keith asked cracking a little smile
“ I’ll join you guys” Rolo said
“ Shiro look are little Keith is making friends” Adam said smiling 
“I’m so proud of him” Shiro said smiling as well
Keith turned an jokingly flipped both of them off as he was leaving. Then he came back into the room and said“Oh hey Lance want to train with us?” Keith asked hopping he says yes  
“ I will join you guys later on. I just want to relaxes for now”   Lance said
“Alright see you then Keith said as he was leaving the room again a little disappointed 
“ Alright then I'm going back to studying the crystal. Call me went the information is done being extracted .” Pidge said 
“I‘m going to the kitchen  "Hunk said 
“ I'll tag along” Shay said smiling
“ I most admit I cant wait around while there is repair to be done to the castle. Lance would you care to help me?” Coran asked 
“Alright” Lance said
“Well I'm going back to the hanger bay to rest for a bit” Nyma said as she left the room
“I’m going to check up on Jay and Fitz. I will be back soon  ” Adam said then kissed Shiro on the check
“We will keep you posted on any new development” Shiro said
in the Kitchen a few minutes later 
“ So how dose it feel to be the first balmeran to leave their home in over ten thousand years ?”Hunk asked 
“I’m happy that I'm going to see the universe Along with so other thing. But I'm sacred as well  “ Shay said
“if your sacred about the balmera getting invade again We will be there to stop it.So don't you worry about that I promise ” Hunk said trying to reassure her
“it’s not that I know you will up hold your promise “ She said 
“Then what is it then?” Hunk said
“yesterday I hear Allura, Coran, shiro, adam and Jay. Talking about training Me, Rax and the other to pilot the lions just in case any you were hurt or even worst kill in battle.”she said 
It took hunk a few seconds to process this information then he said “ I can’t promise you that wont get hurt or killed out there because were at war. But i can  Promise you that I will try my hardest to get back to you after ever mission” Hunk place his hand on top of hers hopping that what he said help reassure her.
Shay leaned her head onto his shoulder “ thank you for those kind word hunk” She said 
“I'm glad I could help” He replied 
the two enjoy their quiet moment together. Then the door to the kitchen opened The moment it opened Hunk and Shay split apart in embarrassment 
“Did I interrupt something?” Pidge asked
“No “ The two said both blushing profusely
“I definitely interrupted something sorry about that “ Pidge said as she walked to the food goo machine.She grabbed the hose that the came out of an pulled the trigger but nothing came out.”Hey hunk can you come over here for a second I think the machine busted”
“alright what seem to be the problem?” Hunk asked As he walked over to pidge 
“I pulled the trigger but nothing come out. It might just be a malfunction but i want a second opinion on the matter” pidge said handing over the hose
Hunk starred  for a few seconds looking for any bulges in the hose as well as running his hand over it just to double check. Then he checked the hole where the goo came out of just to see if it was clogged. But nothing was there 
“I don't see anything wrong  wi” Hunk was stop by a spray of food goo hitting him in the face.
The hose flow out of hunks hand and started firing at both of them in random intervolve and occasionally took a shoot at shay. The two paladins tried grabbing the out of control food goo hose.It took about three minutes for hunk and pidge to tie the food hose in a knot leaving the two of them covered in the green food goo as well as the room. The three of them looked around the room
"Alright all in favor of just leaving this mess for coran and the bots  to clean just walk out with” pidge said As she was walking out of the room
Hunk following behind pidge. Shay Quickly follow suit laughing about the scene she just witnessed  
In the sleeping chamber Lance and coran were cleaning the healing pods
“ok this things can being a person back from the brink of death which I’m thankful for but they can’t self clean”Lance said annoy by this
“It dose” Coran 
“ if it dose why are we using it?” Lance asked
“ Because cleaning it manually helps build character.it remind me of my younger years back when I was in the sub tech weaponry unit. my old drill Sargent used to make us cleaning cryo pod day and night” 
Lance listen half heartedly thinking about other thing. Entering the cryo pod lance started to clean the inside. but a few seconds after he entered the practical barrel closed behind him. Lance began to panic slamming his fist into the door. But coran was to busy reminiscing about his day in boot camp. Lance felt the cryo pod activating then he froze in place.the pod started to decent out of view of coran
“ And if you work hard enough you might just get some cleaning strips your self” Coran turned to see lance.But no one was there” Lance Lance where did you going”   Coran surged his shoulder “ Paladin”
in the training deck. 
“ Now throw a punch aimed for the stomach first. then when his guard is down hit then in the face and don’t give them room to breath keep on hitting them and throw in a few fake out punches” Rolo said
“ Fake out punches? “ Rax asked 
“ It’s when you start to punch some one with arm then hit them with the other. When they go to block the first punch” Rolo said
“ Alright what ever you says” Rax said 
Rax followed the steps that Rolo showed him on a the gladthat was on lowest setting see as Rax didn’t have any Experian fight at all .Keith was on the other end of the room finishing a fight with a gladiator bot cutting it down with two quick swing of his sword 
“Alright  engage the next level on this one “ Keith said to the training system 
The gladiator was dispensed ran at him. Swings it’s blade furiously at him.Keith could tell something was off after the first blow.
”Ok computer turn down the difficulty”  Keith said.
But the training system don’t respond.
“ Hey’ guy you having trouble with your gladiator?” Keith asked
“ Yes” Rax said after being knocked to the ground by the gladiator
 “What is going on Keith?” rolo asked before landing a heavy kick to the gladiator bot in the side sending it back a few feet back
“ No clue” Keith said 
Keith kept on the defensive blocking most blows. but the last swing knocked his  Bayard out of his hands. then the gladiator landed a powerful kick to Keith's chest. Keith hit the ground hard an rolled a few feet. The gladiator swung at the downed paladin. But Keith managed to get out of the way of the attack and straight to his Bayard. and book it out of the room followed by the gladiator.
“Where is he going?” Rax asked 
“No idea . now let’s focuses on the problem in front of us ” Rolo said ready himself for the gladiator’s attack 
“Alright then” Rax said 
in the detainment room
Shiro and beau were just watching the memory extractor unaware of the chaos out side. they both tried asking question to the sleeping sendark. But with no results and no memories extracted  This was starting to anger Shiro causing him to walk up the pod and punched it 
“Come on your a broken soldier you can’t hold out for ever” Shiro yelled
then moment Shiro yelled a weird purple glow appeared in a tank near by  
“ I have no clue how that worked but I will contact the others ” Beau said to Shiro
”So you can hear my” Shiro said looking at the tank that held the memory not paying attention to beau 
outside of the hanger bay
“So what is the deal with Fitz anyway. Why is a kid on a warship ” Nyma asked 
“One the castle of lions isn’t a warship it’s a castle ship there is a different  . an two Jay kinda adopted him into his family I don't why jay did it even though Allura and Coran  told him to leave Fitz with shay’s family because he would be safer there then here  . But he countered with (your letting four teenagers to pilot giant robot lions in a fight against a ten thousand year old empire that can make monster. You have no place to speak when it comes to child safety) Adam said
“ Wow And she still let him bring Fitz along “ Nyma said 
“ Yeah I don’t know how he manage that one” Adam said as he opened the door to the hanger
When the door opened to reveal the aftermath of a shoot out. six sentries were on the floor. blaster burns on the walls shell casing on the ground and some blood on the floor.
“ What happened in here ?” Adam asked
“I don’t know but where Fitz and Jay” Nyma asked scary but what she was seeing
“ I’m here” a weak voices said behind a set of crates 
The two ran over to the crates to find Jay slumped against the wall bleeding from bullet wounds in his right thigh,the gut ,his should was smoking from a plasma burn and his prostatic arm was sparking and moving on its only
“Can you take me to the med bay please?”  Jay asked 
the two dragged their bleeding friend to the Prometheus’s med bay. them placed him on one of the bed has serval med bot roll out to remove the bullets ,to apply burn cream to his shoulder as well as set up a blood bag and a morphine drip 
“ Now where’s Fitz?” Adam asked
“He’s sleeping in his room. I locked his door the moment the sentries turned on me.” Jay said  still weak 
“What caused them to turn on you” Nyma asked worried 
“ No clue. One moment I'm doing inventory the next I'm being surrounded and shoot at . think some one is hacking into the castle you two should worn the other about this  ” Jay said
“What about you?”  Adam asked
“ I’ll be fine I still have my Bayard and the Prometheus will go into lock down when you leave “ Jay said 
“Alright we will be back” Nyma said
“Do go anywhere” Adam said
“ I will be waiting for your return” Jay said lying there on the bed
in Allura’s room. the princess was resting with the mice until a voice started to whisper to her  
“Allura my dear daughter” the voice said
“Father your here” Allura said 
“ Yes it’s me now come with me I have some thing to show you” Alfor said 
back in the cryo pod room
coran was finishing up the second to last. but the moment he reached to the last pod. he found lance frozen.
“So what happened to you lance?” asked Coran while helping the shivering out of the pod
“ I was just cleaning the inside of the cryo pod. the next thing in know the door closes and  I'm being frozen ” Lance said
“ I guess the cryo pods are malfunctioning” Coran said
“ Or maybe the castle is haunted” lance said 
“ Well the castle is made of supernatural advent  technology that can’t be explained but sciences alone so you may be right about it being haunted “ coran said 
A few minutes pass as the two talked about what had just happened until coran had to leave to handle other thing. leave lance alone. Lance sat in the cryo room not wanting to leave the room until the cryo pod he was trapped in suddenly started to descending on it own. lance ran out of the room screaming.  after that lance nervously scurried thought the halls of castle. getting spooked by the reprogramed sentries that were roaming the hall. lance continued  to walk alone thought the dark halls and saw a figure that flickered in and out of view.
“Coran is that you ?” Lance asked confused 
The figure disappeared then coran voice was heard in the distances yelling           “Lance Help I'm  trapped in the airlock come quickly” 
Lance ran to the air lock to help coran out. But when he got there coran wasn’t there I was just an empty room. lance walked a little closer to the airlock just to double check. he had stepped pass the door way and that moment the air lock opened and the door behind him closed. Lance grabbed on to the wall holding on for dear life. 
Keith and the rouge gladiator were fighting thought the hall. Keith was using the massive  halls and his agility to keep a good space between them. But that all change when they turned the corner. Gladiator slammed into Keith  knocking him next to the an airlock door. As Keith was getting to his feet he heard a voices from behind him. turning his head he saw lance holding onto the hall dear life. But be fore he could do anything to save lance the gladiator swung it’ s blade at him so He met it with his blade knocking the gladiator into the door way . then he slammed the ejected button for the airlock open the door. Gladiator flow out into space. Keith then reached into the airlock trying to grab lance 
“Grab my hand” Keith yelled 
 Lance extended his own hand fighting the now stronger pull of space just to survive. He started to feel cold his eyes were burn and he was getting weaker every passing second it terrified him . But he need to  push past the pain,the weakness and the fear he had to survive he need to return home and tell his family about everything he was going to do and see. so with the last of his strength he  pushed forward using the wall to launch himself towards Keith’s hand and grabbed it. the moment Keith felt lance’s hand on his he pulled lance in back into the ship and slam the airlock door shut 
The two lied on the ground catching the breath. Keith turned his to look at lance and saw him on his side shiver intently.
“lance are you alright?” Keith asked concerned 
“lance turned to face Keith his eyes red tears, running and before Keith could do anything lance’s arm wrapped around him an pulled him into a hug. keith felt the coldness of lance and on instinct just hugged lance back
  “thank you thank you so much for saving me Keith. I was scared that no one was coming to save me”lance said through heavy breaths  
“your welcome lance I just did what I had to do. Your my teammate” Keith said but in the back of his mind he thought about how this was the second time he almost lost lance a second time in under a week . Jay was right he need to tell lance how he feels so
a few seconds later several pair of feet could be heard running toward there location. Keith broke the hug by getting up and put lance behind him readying his Bayard  to protect lance no matter what. then to his surprised it was Rolo Rax and coran   
“ thank god it’s guys” lance said still lying on the floor 
“ What happened to you Lance?” Coran asked concerned  
“ He nearly was suck out into space. and Me, Rolo and Rax were attacked by the gladiator training bots. something is up with the castle ” Keith said while helping lance to his feet 
“He’s right the damn thing did a number on me  “ Rolo said holding  his bruised side and sporting a black eye 
“ Yes it did do a number on us” Rax said follow rolo lead. He had a split lip and few burses on his hand and for arms 
“Wait why was lance in the airlock?” Coran asked scared by this information 
“ I heard you voice coming for the airlock calling for help. so I came to help you”  lance said with a faint smile.
Coran starred at lance for a few seconds. he was remind of Blaytz for a moment and how lance coran of him in all of his actions. the blue lion made the right choice by picking lance
“ Ok we should get the other before any thing else happens” Keith said walking toward the green lions hanger to check up on pidge  
“ right” everyone follow after Keith 
in the memory chamber Allura was again sitting in a field of altea flowers talking to her father again 
“ Allura do you wish to go back to Altae?” Alfor asked 
“ Yes I would love to but it’s gone” Allura said sadly 
“No it not and I can prove it. Here take this Altea flower from my hand “ Alfor said his voice slightly distorted handing her the flower
Allura grabbed the flower from her father hand. She felt it’s weight and she could smell it. She was didn’t know if this was a dream or real by she didn’t care “ let’s go home father “ Allura said with a smile 
In the green lion hanger bay hunk shay and pidge were flowing around in room . Shay was just laughing and enjoy this new experience 
“aw look at her go no care in the world right now” Hunk said look at shay having the time of her life while holding onto Pidge
“Hunk focus on me right now and know your girlfriend”  pidge said 
“She not my girlfriend” hunk said blushing 
“ What’s a girlfriend?” Shay asked flowing by 
“ I will tell you later. But right now hunk you need to kick me” pidge said 
“ What no your my friend and I do hurt friends” hunk said concerned
“ no I need you to kick me towards the door” pidge said 
“ oh ok” he replied 
Pidge placed her feet on to hunk’s feet. then he launched her toward the door controls. she had a smile on her face as she flew  to the control room. But her smile turned to a grimes when she released her trajectory was off by a few feet to the side.
“No No No No No No “ She said as she slammed into the wall then the floor 
 “ You ok?” hunk asked
“no” she replied just flowing away from the door. 
She flowed there mad here plan had fail. then Rover flew toward from his charger 
“Rover” she said happy that her little bubby was here to help “ ok rover I need you to open the door “
Rover beeped to confirm that he understood the order. Then he flew to the door control
“ no wait pidge Me and Shay are still very high up he”  hunk said to later . rover opened the door returning gravity to the room sending the trio slamming they into the ground. Hunk was the first to get up from the ground and walk to shay 
“ Are you alright?’ HE asked as he helped her up 
“ I'm fine a little sore from the fall are you alright “ Shay asked
“ yeah I'm good. hey pidge you ok” Hunk asked concern for his fallen teammate 
Pidge through her hand into the air and gave a thumbs up. Then the sound off foot step could be heard approaching the room 
“ hey quit sleeping on the job Pidge something is up with the castle”   lance said walking in to the room.
in the detainment room 
“ What was your first rank in zarkon’s army. Dose Zarkon have any weaknesses. what is the best way to destroy then command center. if you were going to attack Zarkon how would do it?” Shira asked the unconscious Sendak.
“ Shiro I'm not getting a signal to anyone one else on the ship and I can’t jump to any of my other bodies and six of them are offline. So I'm going to fine out what is going on out there Be right back” Beauregard said leaving the room
“ alright” Shiro said “ Now where were we “
“ If I were going to attack Zarkon how would I do it “ Sendak said from behind Shiro 
Shiro turned round and swung his arm to cut into the some how freed Sendak. only to swing at a empty space. Shiro only saw serval sentries who were standing guarded of the detainment room just standing there looking at him kinda confused    Shiro then turn back around to see sendak still in his pod.
“ am I hearing thing” Shiro said to himself just looking around the room just to make sure Beau wasn’t just messing with him then turning back to sendak’s pod
“ No your not hearing thing” Sendak said now from around the room 
“ How are you doing this?” Shiro asked 
“ that dose matter right now. What matter is why would you want to destroy the empire that fixed you,you broken soldier “ sendak said 
“ I'm not a broken”  Shiro said
“You were broken by us and reform by us  just look at your arm.Then look back at all you’ve do an how many people did you killed to survive. Think how the other would think of you if they knew the truth about you. How would Adam reacted to all the blood on your hand . Sendak said
“ Shut up ” Shiro yelled 
‘No You listen you are nothing more then a monster who hide behind a mask of a hero and nothing you do will ever change “
“I'm not listening” Shiro said trying to block out Sendek's voice 
“How can a monster ever be a paladin of Voltron. How can a monster ever have friends care about it and how could a monster like you ever find some one to  love you” The trapped man said 
“ Enough” Shiro yelled smashing his fist into the pod leaving a huge crack in the pod.Shiro was breathing heavily and just starred at sendak for a few second only to see sendak’s eyes open and his head move forward but suddenly sendak was gone along with the pod. Shiro turned his head to see Adam standing by eject button with his hand on it
“Are you alright Shiro?’  Adam asked
Shiro Stared at Adam a few second the just hugged him” no I'm not all right. But I will tell you more later. We need to find the other right ” Shiro said
“ Yeah let’s go love” Adam said
In the Bridge of the castle of lions Allura was piloting it with alfor next to her toward a imploding star 
“It’s there Father Altae is still there” She said still stuck in her dream like state  
“ Yes my dear daughter were almost home  just a few more minutes.” the Ai said it’s voice distorted and flickering more and more 
Running to the bridge the know reanointed group ran to the bridge 
“ Coran , beau  what has been happened ?” Shiro asked 
The galra crystal has corrupted the Alfor Ai “ Coran said 
And it’s Marked everyone except for Coran  as problems that could possible hurt Allura. So it tried to Either to Trap ,scare or just flat out kill us to keep her  safe.’ Beau said 
“ So that why the food goo machine started firing on us” Shay said 
“Or how it first trapped me and when that didn’t work it tried to send me out the air lock” lance said 
“ or how it used the sentries to kill Jay off do to him be a berserker ” Adam said 
“ or the gladiator bot to get rid of Keith , Rax and I” rolo said 
the group was at the bridge and saw Allura stand at the controls pilot flying straight toward a star Everyone then Ran to her only to be stopped by the holographic face of king alfor yelling “ Get away from my daughter”  then a Barrier formed around Allura and king Alfor 
“WE need to get her out of there now” Shiro said 
“I'm trying” beau said a he was using one of the console to being down the barrier along with Adam and Coran 
Lance stood there with everyone else  just starring at the star slowly growing more and more” this is it. this is how I die on a alien space ship light year way from home” 
“Lance don’t give up hope we can still save this” Shiro said slamming his prostatic arm into the barrier over and over again
  But the scents of hopelessness filled the room. Rax and Shay held onto each other 
“Sorry I got you into this Brother”  Shay said crying 
“It’s alright It’s alright little sister “  HE said just holding on to her 
Rolo Nyma And Beezer were saying their goodbye thing this was it  
“ It’s been an honor flying with you two” Rolo said 
“oh shut up you guy are my best friends and I saw no other way this could end”  Nyma said huge Rolo 
Beezer just beeped happily 
Keith thinking this was his last chance So he walked up to lance and grabbed his jacket “Hey Keith what are you doin” lance said before being pulled into a long deep kiss. they only pulled apart when they need to breath
“What was that ?” lance said face bright red 
“ that was me confessing to you ok” Keith said also blush the same shade of red as the red lion 
“Oh that make scenes “ lance said 
“Hey don’t count me out” pidge yelled walking up to lance 
“ Wait what” lance said before pidge followed Keith’s lead and kissed lance then they broke a part
“if we had more time I would have like to go on a date but that’s not going to happen now” pidge said sadly 
“Yeah I really wish we did” Keith said
Lance face still bright red ran at the barrier and punched and kicked at it yell”  Allura turn this ship around I have dates to go on”
in the Barrier Allura just stared at altea slowly getting closer. but she started to get distracted by a voice calling her name that snapped her out of her dream like state
“Allura  Allura “ the voice said 
“Father” Allura turned to see her father. but he was next to her” what is going on here”
“ it’s time for you to let me go” Alfor said
“ But were almost home” She said pointing towards Altea 
“ No we are not look again my dear daughter”  He said
Allura turned to see a imploding star where Altea once was. She stopped the ship before it could get any closer to the star. Everyone outside of the barrier felt the ship stop and saw the barrier around Allura turn black to block everyone’s view of Allura sending them all in to panic   
” What is going on here Father please tell me” She asked now confessed and scared about what she almost did to everyone 
“ It looks like my Ai has started to degrade from the Galra crystal and it tried to kill your friends and you as well as fulfill your wish to return home by any means” The king said 
“ He did what now” she yelled
I doesn't matter right now. what matters now is that most let me go” He said
“But your all I have left of home” She cried 
“ no I'm not you still have coran and there is the altea colony on Mar and before you say I'm the only family you have left. Again you still have coran the new paladin and everyone else on this ship to call your family” He said slowly flickering away.
“ But what will I do with out you here to guild me” She said
“You don’t need me anymore you have already become the leader I always know you could be my dear daughter” 
but I don’t want you to go” Allura said starting to cry 
“Allura Remember what I told you”
 “ I know A leader most make sacrifices. She said 
“ Good Now it’s time for me to go”
Allura watched as memories of he pasted flash past her. Hundreds of them some from her childhood her teen years memories of her and the first paladins. Then at the end of memory lane a newer memory popped up of her and the other at Shiro and Adam’s wedding on the balmera and how happy they all were that day. She smiled that this picture. Then she turned to her father and hugged him 
“ Goodbye father I love” She said now crying even more now
“ Goodbye my dear daughter” Alfor said hugging her back as he finally flicker off of existents for the last time  
As the barrier fell  Everyone ran to her to make sure she was alright .
A few hour later Allura was back in her room sitting on her bed Looking at old photos of home. then she heard a knocking on the door
“ Come”  She said
the door opened to reveal Jay hold a pot in his hands  “ Hey princess I heard what happened to you from beau. So I brought you a Altean flower .see as my dad owns a flower shop back home I have all of different plants from altea on bored my ship  and now I'm rambling. So here you go”   Jay said handing her the pot “ It will take a few weeks for it to full grow but it’s truly worth the wait” 
“ Thank you Jay.” She said taking the pot from his hands
“ I should get back to the med bay before beau finds out I left it see you later Allura” jay said running back to his hanger bay
Allura look at the pot and smiled. then see saw a note on it. She opened it and read get well soon signed by everyone. She smile at the note and thought  Her father was right they are her family her weird and loveable new family and she would do anything to protect it

Commission for @nozarakita, who I can’t tag for some reason. Joy lol. 
Klance whump ahoy. Under a cut for length. 
~~
When Lance found Keith for breakfast, he was training against level five of the bots on the training deck in the Olkari rec center, his hands both occupied by swords, one his paladin blade and the other his Galra blade, grown out to full length.  
He waited for a pause in the fighting, watching as Keith ducked and swerved, sweat drenching his forehead and clothing. His chest was heaving as he sliced through the last bot, and before he could call out for the next round, Lance cleared his throat.  
Keith turned and the words Lance had been about to say died on his lips, gaze wandering Keith’s form. He was literally dripping in sweat, bags under his eyes, cheeks slightly gaunt. His hair hung limp in his eyes, less taken care of than usual, and there was a slice rippling across his cheek, directly opposite his new scar.  
“Are you okay?” Lance found himself asking.  
Keith blinked, like he was confused, and then shook his head, pressing a hand to his forehead and dragging his hair back out of his face. “Fine. Just...couldn’t sleep, is all. What’s up? Is Shiro okay?”
Lance frowned, jutting a thumb over his shoulder to the doorway. “He’s fine. Hunk sent me down to get you for breakfast.”
Keith shook his head and flexed his fingers around the grip on his Galra blade. “Can’t. I haven’t been training as much as I need to. Thanks, though.”
Lance hesitated, gnawing on his lower lip. “Didn’t you skip dinner last night to train though?”  
Keith sighed, rolling his shoulders. “I ate after I was done. It’s fine, Lance.”  
Lance nodded slowly, backing out of the training room. The sounds of clashing resumed behind him.  
~~
“You mean he’s been in there all morning?” Shiro snapped, pushing his chair away from the table at lunch and standing.  
Pidge, who had been the messenger, winced. “Yeah. I saw him when I went down to upgrade the lasers so that they don’t hurt, they just stun, so that way we need less trips to the infirmary while we’re here, and he was still there when I asked about lunch and he said he’d eaten breakfast-”
“He didn’t eat breakfast,” Lance muttered, glancing down at the table top. “Hunk and I hung out in the kitchen all day.”
Shiro stormed from the table and, after a few exchanged glances, the rest of the paladins followed him. He didn’t protest, merely slowed a bit to let them catch up, and they took the elevator down to the lower level, where the sounds of clanging metal were still ringing through the hallway.
Shiro did pretty much the same thing Lance had done, which was stop and wait for a lull so that Keith didn’t get hurt. In that time, Lance took another good look at their current leader.  
His shirt was gone now, thrown off to the side, which Lance was sure Allura would scold him about for; she was a stickler for safety, as much as it seemed otherwise. His hair was tied back in a ponytail that wasn’t doing much to keep his hair out of his face, as it kept coming loose while he fought.  
Keith’s steps were slow, uncoordinated, and he had wrapped a brace that they usually saved for boxing around his left wrist. That was what really caught Lance’s gaze – the sign of genuine injury.  
He scowled and stepped forward before Shiro could. “End simulation!”
The simulation powered down slowly, not nearly as fast as the castle’s had, but the Olkari were still working on voice commands versus mental ones, so that was to be expected. Still, it powered down fast enough for Keith to whirl around, eyes a little wilder than they had been when Lance had seen him that morning. “What the quiznak, guys?”
“We’re waiting for you at lunch,” Allura said, her voice calm.  
Keith frowned. “I don’t need anything. I ate-”
“We all know that’s a load of horse crap, man,” Lance said, crossing his arms over his chest and frowning. “What is up with you? I know you like to train, but this is ridiculous.”  
“Did you even sleep last night?” Hunk asked. His voice was laced with concern for the paladin.  
Keith’s jaw tightened and he looked away. Despite the anger that had been in Shiro’s eyes before, the man walked up to him slowly, settling a hand on his shoulder. “Keith. What is going on? You aren’t sleeping or eating...let us help.”  
Keith shrugged Shiro away and set his swords aside, stepping past Lance towards a water bottle at the other end of the room. At least he was drinking, Lance mused. “I’m fine. You guys are just...”
His stance wobbled, and Lance moved to his side quickly, grabbing him by the shoulder. Keith’s skin felt like it was on fire, but he flinched away at Lance’s touch. “I’m fine,” he said again, but this time, when Lance looked at him, his eyes were hazy, clouded.  
Lance knew he was going to pass out seconds before it happened, and he was right. Keith fell like a dead weight, and it took every ounce of strength Lance had not to let him hit the ground. Shiro darted up behind him, helping relieve some of the tension, and he looked back at Allura and Coran. “Get a bed in the infirmary ready, stat,” he ordered, all irritation gone from his voice.  
It was replaced with genuine concern, and Lance could see it in his eyes when he turned back. Lance looked to Keith, heart pounding in his throat, and shifted his grip on him so that he was situated more comfortably between them.  
Shiro nodded to the door. “Let’s get him to bed.”
Lance bobbed his head once. “Yes sir.”
~~
When Keith woke up, the room was dark. A clock in the corner suggested it was late evening, Olkari time, and he groaned, pressing his hands to his head. A sharp tug made him look down in surprise, only to find an IV drip settled in his skin. “What the-?”
“If you weren’t going to eat or drink enough water, we needed to get it in you somehow.”
Keith turned to Lance, who was leaning heavily on the arm of the bedside chair, a weary smile on his lips. It was betrayed by the bags under his eyes and the tired look that crossed his face when Keith stayed quiet too long. “You okay, Mullet?”
Keith furrowed his eyebrows. “I’m fine. Why do you guys keep asking me that?”
Lance sighed and looked away, rubbing his jaw. His eyes glinted in the lowlight. “You’re not okay, Keith. Now you can either tell one of us what’s wrong, or Shiro is assigning you an escort until you do.”  
Keith blinked. “What?”
Lance shrugged, spreading his arms. “Don’t ask me. Look, we’re worried about you. You blacked out, you’ve been training like a maniac, you’re not eating...”
When he looked up, Keith was startled by the emotions in his gaze. “Talk to me, Keith.”  
Keith glanced away, shoulder slumping. “I just...I’ve got a lot on my plate, okay?”
“We all do, man.”  
He meant it in the best way, Keith knew that, but he couldn’t help but be slightly irked by the words. “No, not really. I mean yeah, of course, you guys have a lot going on, and Shiro’s brain is still...weird...but I...I’m splitting myself too thin. Between the Galra and the Blade. But I can’t choose.”  
Lance remained silent, and Keith took a breath before continuing. “My mom and my kind versus...versus family that I found? That I just got back?” He shook his head. “I can’t.”  
“You know you’re only half Galra.”
Keith shot Lance a scowl. “So?”
“So, you’re our kind too,” Lance said simply. He shrugged, reaching a hand out and settling it on top of Keith’s. “Look, man...I can’t tell you what to do, or where to go, or who to go to. But we care about you. I care about you. We want you safe, and happy, and not passing out in the training room. And you don’t have to pick right now. But Kolivan has been with the Blade for who knows how long. They’ve been around for centuries without you. We haven’t. We’d...I would miss you if you left again. But I’d miss you more if you worked yourself to a point of no-return.”  
Lance took a shaky breath and dropped his gaze, and his thumb started rubbing circles on Keith’s knuckles. He wasn’t sure if it was on purpose or not. Keith turned his hand slowly, letting their fingers slide together, and he stared at the skin as they intertwined. He heard Lance’s sharp but soft gasp at the movement.  
“I want to stay with you guys. But I feel like I belong with the Galra,” Keith whispered.  
“Do what you want, Keith,” Lance murmured. He lifted their twined hands and pressed his lips to Keith’s knuckles, slow, methodical, eyes dark as they gazed at him, waiting for any sign to stop. “You never do things for yourself. We’ll be here for you, regardless. I’ll be here for you.”
Keith nodded, tears prickling at his eyes, and Lance’s lids fluttered shut, the soft skin of his lips pressing kisses to each of Keith’s knuckles one by one until he reached the thumb, where he moved his own hand and settled his kiss at the heel of Keith’s hand.  
“How long?” Keith found himself asking.  
Lance looked up at him from under dark lashes. “Always. You just...needed to leave, for me to figure it out. And I don’t want to have to go through any of that again.”  
Keith swallowed, his throat dry and aching, and he tugged lightly on Lance’s grip. Lance followed the silent instruction, climbing into Keith’s bed and curling next to him, nose pressed to his chin. “You don’t have to decide now, Keith. We all agreed on that. But you can’t hurt yourself like this again. None of us could deal with it if we lost you, least of all me. I was freaked, man. I was scared you wouldn’t...”
Keith hummed, turning his head to press his lips to Lance’s forehead, eyes fluttering shut. “I was just dehydrated and a little bit malnourished, Lance. I didn’t lie, I did have a snack after you guys were done with dinner.”  
“Yeah but...that much of a workout? You needed more than just a small snack.”  
“I know,” Keith admitted, his voice soft. “I'm sorry you guys had to see me like that.”  
“Don’t apologize,” Lance whispered, tightening his grip around Keith’s waist. “I’m just happy you’re okay. Shiro is going to kick your ass, though.”
“I expect nothing less,” Keith chuckled.

S/O Who Needs Comfort After Their Family Has Treated Them Badly
Shiro
Tumblr media
Shiro is headed to the training deck to practice when, to his surprise, he sees you already training in there.
He’s bewildered as to why you’re here right now when your usual routine was to practice in the morning.
Shiro also can’t help but notice that each swing of yours is much more aggressive than usual, whilst simultaneously being less co-ordinated than normal.
After some observation, it’s evident that you’re venting anger, rather than practicing your technique.
Cautiously walking up you, Shiro calls out your name to make his presence known before asking you if you’re okay.
“Hey, (Y/N). Um...are you okay?”
“Uh- I’m fine, I’m just trying to- I’m just trying to concentrate okay?”
Everything about your body language betrays the exterior that you’re trying so hard to maintain - from your rigid stance, to the way you refuse to form eye contact with Shiro.
Your facade inevitably crumbles and you drop your sword in defeat. Tears streaming down your face, you collapse onto your knees and weep into cupped hands.
“Family...who needs them anyway?”
Clicking immediately that something must’ve gone awry with your family, Shiro runs over to you. Kneeling in front of you, he embraces you tightly.
“Hey hey, it’s okay. I’m here.”
You cling to him as you cry into his shoulder. Once your sobs become less frequent and soften, Shiro asks you if you would like to talk about it - to which your shake your head in response.
Respecting your wishes and not wanting to push you, he nods solemnly and takes your hand to help you up from the ground.
As it’s getting late, he asks you if you would like to sleep in his room with him tonight.
Craving intimacy right now, you take him up on his offer and you go to bed that night snuggled up close to his chest. 
As you lay in bed together, he soothes you to sleep by running his fingers gently up and down your back and delicately kissing your forehead.
Unbeknown to you, Shiro himself did not sleep a wink until he was certain that you had been able to fall asleep.
Keith
Tumblr media
Upon returning from a mission with the Blade of Marmora, Keith flops onto his bed feeling drained and exhausted.
Just as he’s found a comfortable position, he hears a faint knocking at his door.
“Ugh, are you kidding me..” he mutters under his breath as he hauls himself back up from his bed. Answering the door with furrowed eyebrows, his expression softens when he sees you standing outside his room with downcast eyes.
Wiping your eyes dry, you ask him if you can come in. Keith then stands aside to let you in and closes the door behind you.
Lifting your chin up to get a closer look at you, he demands to know what’s happened.
It’s astonishing how quickly Keith manages to rile himself up over the sheer thought of someone upsetting you.
He swears to himself that he’ll literally kill Lance if this was down to his own stupidity.
“Well, I um sorta...had an argument with my family earlier today...and it’s really gotten to me.”
Keith’s demeanor softens and he pulls you into his chest - resting his chin on top of your head. “I’m sorry to hear that, (Y/N)...I’m here for you now though.”
A feeling of guilt gnaws at you for complaining about your family to him. You couldn’t help but worry that your complaining was a slap in the face to him. You then start apologising profusely to him. 
“Don’t worry about me, (Y/N). All that matters right now is your happiness.”
As blunt and aloof as Keith could be to people at times, he was truly an angel underneath. His selflessness really knew no bounds.
“(Y/N)? You know that I love you, right?” 
Taken aback, you blush and hide your head in his chest. “I-I love you too, Keith.”
The tender moment the two of you were sharing is then comically interrupted by Keith letting out a yawn, making you giggle. Remembering that he had literally just gotten back in from a mission, you ask him if he would like to take a nap with you.
And how could he possibly refuse?
Lance
Tumblr media
On days where Lance struggles with being away from home, he seeks comfort by watching the stars at the bridge of the ship - reminiscing over fond memories of Earth.
Today is one of said days, so he’s on his way to the bridge. As Lance enters, he sees you standing at the far end with your arms crossed. It seems like you had the same idea as him.
You were so preoccupied with your thoughts that you didn’t notice Lance sneaking up behind you, planning on making you jump. Without warning, you felt a pair of hands suddenly grasp at your waist.
You knew it could only be one person grabbing your waist, however you still couldn’t hold back a loud yelp.
“No Lance, please!...not right now.”
“Oh, um...I was just playing around...is everything okay (Y/N)?”
Trying to compose yourself, you wipe your eyes and clear your throat.
“I, um...my family and I kinda had an argument earlier.”
Lance is taken aback as he had previously assumed you had a close relationship with your family, based on how warm and friendly you were with everyone.
Needless to say, he’s a little lost for words on what to say as he was close with his own family. He’s also very conscious of the fact that jokes weren’t going to help either of you right now. 
His lack of response makes you shrug and mumble. “Oh well, this isn’t exactly the first time my family has treated me like shit...”
“(Y/N) listen...I  don’t know if what I’m about to say is going to be of any help but--what I mean is...I know I’m not your family...but if you ever need someone, I’m always here for you...you know that right? If you ever need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to listen to you...I’m here...always.”
You turned to face Lance who was staring at you intently. It was rare to see such a somber expression on Lance’s face. In fact, you had to turn away from him briefly to avoid blushing. who knew he could be so romantic?
Lacing your fingers with Lances, you take his hand and smile affectionately at him. “Thank you, Lance. And by the way, you are my family.”
Staring out into space and gazing at the ocean of stars together, the universe suddenly felt a lot less lonely.
Hunk
Tumblr media
One evening, Hunk is on his way into the kitchen for a little late night snack - tip-toeing around the castle from his room to make sure he doesn’t wake anyone up.
Once he reaches the kitchen, he’s confused to see that the lights are still on.
“Please don’t be an intruder”.
Upon entering the kitchen and seeing that it was only you, his worries dissipate and relief washes over him.
Upon close inspection however, he panics again when he notices that your head is slumped against the counter. Did you fall asleep here?
He gently shakes your shoulder to wake you up. Sluggishly lifting your head up, you reveal puffy and blood shot eyes from were you had been crying before falling asleep.
"(Y/N), what’s wrong? Why are you asleep in the kitchen?”
"I-uh, um...had an arguement with my family earlier...I originally came here to find something to eat to maybe cheer myself up. But I guess I fell asleep.”
Pained to see such sadness in your eyes, Hunk tries to quickly think of anything that he can do to comfort you. There is one way...
"...Do you wanna bake something to help take your mind of it?”
“Bake? Right now? What if we wake everybody else up?”
“We’ll be quiet, I promise! What’s your favourite kind of cake?”
You both spend the night baking your favourite kind of cake together. Hunk initially struggled to get you on board with the idea. It didn’t take that long however before Hunk’s warm eyes and compassionate smile had you pushing the argument to the back of your mind and helping him out.
Once the cake was done, you both grabbed a plate and fork and began to have a heart-to-heart.
After an initial conversation about family life, Hunk opens up about feeling like he’s gained a second family since becoming a paladin. Whenever he’s misses Earth, he thinks about how grateful he is to have such wonderful friends and an amazing partner to help him through it.
Touched by his words, you reflect on all the love and support that Hunk and the other paladins have given you during your time in space. You too have gained another family.
Once you’ve both finished eating, he walks you back to your bedroom and tucks you into bed - wishing you sweet dreams and gently kissing your forehead.
Pidge
Tumblr media
After an exhausting day of tinkering with the green lion, Pidge is on her way to your room - eager to unwind with you.
She knocks at your door. A few seconds pass before she hears a strained voice call out “who is it?”
“It’s only me! Can I come in?”
Whilst not entirely certain, Pidge could’ve sworn that she heard a fatigued sigh before you apathetically answered for her to come in.
She comes into your room to find you sitting in the dark playing a video game and sitting crossed-legged on the floor.
She begins to feel particularly uneasy when you don’t even turn around to greet her as you normally would.
The atmosphere in the room is tense as the only thing breaking the silence is the noise of the blaring television and the clacking of joysticks and buttons.
“(Y/N), is something wrong?”
Her simple enough question is received with a paroxysm of anger as you launch your controller across the room. “STUPID GAME.”
Without prompt, Pidge kneels down next to you and sympathetically places a hand on your shoulder.
Breaking down, you throw yourself at Pidge and rest your chin against her shoulder almost knocking her glasses off in the process. You open up to her about the argument you had with your parents only a couple of hours ago during your brief visit to Earth.
Pidge then tells you about how frequently she used to get bullied at school and how at times it left her feeling hopeless. However, no matter what they’d do or say to her she’d always be okay in the end because she would have people around her to support her such as Matt.
You became a little agitated at first because you couldn’t see what point she was trying to make - didn’t have any supportive siblings.
She clarifies that the point she’s trying to make is that there will always be someone around you who wants to see you happy and cares deeply about you, even if it feels like the world is against you.
“I care about you, (Y/N). And so does everybody else.”
You pull away from Pidge to give her a tender smile. It still hurt to think about the altercation you had with your family; there was no denying that. You also knew there would be future hardships to come that you couldn’t even possibly anticipate. However if there was one thing you realized, it was that Pidge cared deeply about you and would always be there for you.
“By the way, (Y/N)...you’re going to break your controller one day if you keep throwing it like that.”
Lotor
Tumblr media
It’s been a couple of vargas since Lotor had last seen you before you left to meet with your family at the space mall. He could’ve sworn that you said you’d be back by now. Curious as to your whereabouts, he leaves his generals to take care of matters whilst he searches for you.
When he’s unable to find you in any of the usual places you frequented, he starts to worry that perhaps you hadn’t made it back safely from your trip. He was always aware of the fact that one day you could be targeted for simply being his lover. He orders his generals to stop what they’re currently doing and help him search the ship for you.
After what felt like decaphoebs, he finally spots a silhouette in the cockpit of a Galra fighter jet. Had you been hiding there this whole time?
You had been sitting in the cabin seat with your knees tucked into your chest since you came back - repeatedly recollecting that argument you had with your family over your relationship with the prince.
You hear the cockpit opening, making you lift your head up to see who it was. Speak of the devil; it was none other than Lotor himself.
“Darling, what are you doing here?”
“Nothing. I just want to be left alone for a while.”
Defiantly, he wraps his arms around you to lift you out of the cockpit bridal style. There was absolutely no way he was going to let you suffer in silence; he couldn’t stand to see such anguish on your beautiful face.
“Come - let us find somewhere quiet.”
He carries you to his sleeping quarters where he gently sits you down onto the edge of his bed. Sitting next to you, he holds your hand in his.
“So what’s troubling you, my dear?”
You tell him all about what happened with your parents and how they vehemently disapproved of your relationship with him. Why couldn’t they just be happy for you?
Lotor completely understands where you’re coming from as he himself does not even remember the last time his father had been proud of him. 
"I know all too well the heartache that so-called family members can inflict. But I assure you (Y/N), you have done nothing wrong. How can anyone blame you for personal matters of the heart?”
Then proceeding to get down onto one knee...
"(Y/N), I ask that one day I may be allowed to take your hand in marriage and make you my princess. There is nothing I want more in this universe than to start my own family with you, and you alone... (Y/N)...would you grant me such an honour?”
Astonished at this unexpected turn of events, you begin to cry tears of joy and without hesitation tell him the answer was “yes”. 
Requested by @bootyshakerkegrimm as an emergency request. I sincerely apologise for how long this took ;-; I hope you’re feeling better now!

HI Crumbz, I was wondering if you have any married kidge hcs? (I say it every day but I just love the way you write about these two
Tumblr media
NOEHNRAWOEN BLUW;E!!! Oh My Lanta do I ever!!! I’m gonna have to put this under a read more because it got Hella long!
These are all Married-Before-Children headcanons, so if youwant Kidge-as-Parents, a part two will need to be done! >:3c
First things first, they designed the house together.
·        Being universe-saving Paladins of Voltron kindaearns them some free stuff. Which includes getting to either select a home thatis currently available or taking a plot of land to build on. They decide to start from scratch and have their home built from the ground up specifically for them.
For Keith, it’s about making his own foundation – both physicallyand emotionally – for the future he wasn’t sure he’d get to have.
·        I mean, he’s married to the literal smartestbeing in the universe who loves him because he’s just him? And they get to betogether, out of danger and safe? Sign him right the fuck up, my friend!
For Pidge, it’s about having a place to call not only her own,but their own.
·        Most of their lives, they’ve been kinda livingin spaces – or literally space - that were lent to them, and that has alwaysbeen kinda jarring for Pidge.
·        Like, the Garrison dorms? Not really theirs.
·        Their rooms on the Castle of Lions? Kinda closerto being their own space/s, but it was still kinda under theYou-Are-Paladins-And-Need-A-Place-To-Rest kinda deal.
·        The house, though, will be all theirs. It willbe Pidge’s space, and Keith’s space, and just generally their space. No moreworrying about having someone else walk in on their private moments. No moreworrying about Hunk hijacking her tools to use. No more worrying about Lancestarting up a pissing match with Keith while he’s trying to train. No moreblaring emergency alarm. They can just exist together holy shit
In the time between, they live with Pidge’s parents.
·        Colleen and Samuel are respectful of theirboundaries but they encounter some of the same issues involving privacy as withthe Castle of Lions.
·        Also, the sex life? Yeah, that ain’t happenin’when the in-laws are just one door over and can hear when the motion of theocean starts a rockin’.
·        Other than that, Keith likes getting to knowmore about Colleen and Sam, as well as watching Pidge squirm when they share embarrassingstories. He likes having an extended family as fun as the Holts, ngl.
The house design is pretty simple, with a generous amount ofrooms and space.
·        It’s technically two stories but also has abasement because these two are hyper-cautious about having plenty of space.
·        They have two garages; one for regular cars andone for the Lions. Yes, I said Lions. Keith is piloting something before the end of Season 6 and anyone who disagrees can fight me -
·        They also get a fireplace because Keith has fondmemories of roasting marshmallows with his Dad and Pidge can’t deny her mansomething sentimental.
·        They have a generous living room with anadjacent work room with both their computers, desks and filing cabinets in it.The dining room table is also in the work room because they’re both workaholicsand figure it makes the most sense to put it there.
·        They have a quaint little kitchen with all newappliances – and they are all stainless steel at Pidge’s insistence – and acute little breakfast nook to go with.
·        They have one master bedroom, five bedrooms, andthree bathrooms. They select this much space specifically for familyget-togethers/ visits from the other Paladins.
Keith does all the interior decorating. Pidge doesn’t reallycare much for that stuff and she actually really likes the colors and patterns and such Keith ends updeciding to go with. She even likes the goofy, old-style Saturday Morning Pressportraits he hangs in the living room, as tacky and outdated as they are.
The regular garage becomes Pidge’s hands-on workplace andKeith is totally cool with that.
·        Keith and Pidge agree that she isn’t supposed todo particularly high-risk experiments when she’s home alone.
·        One time, he left for a diplomatic mission withthe Coalition for two days. When he returned, the entire inside of the garagewas torched and required -near-complete rebuilding. Like, even the tools were meltedinto nothing!
·        “Pidge, how did you even…?”
·        “I think it’s better you don’t know.”
·        “… Yeah, you know what? Forget I asked.”
The two of them are just naturally good at co-existing and docute shit without even realizing it.
·        Pidge could be working on something in thegarage and Keith will just slip in and get comfy with a book on the littlecouch she keeps in there for him.
·        Keith can be working on something at his deskand Pidge will come out and settle the back of her desk chair against the backof his and pull out a journal or handheld game with the volume off.
·        They can be on the couch sitting next to eachother watching television and within twenty minutes they end up snuggled upunder the little throw blanket they keep draped along the back of the couchwithout a word or acknowledgement.
·        Sometimes they’ll settle in and just listen tomusic and do basic, pleasure-tasks in the same room and just enjoy thecomfortable ambiance between them.
·        Additionally, they don’t mind doing things inrooms separate, either. Sometimes Pidge will be working in the garage and Keithwill be working out in the basement and there’s no tension or stress aboutbeing apart.
They are pretty even about splitting the chores andhousework.
·        They take turns making meals. Keith mostly makesbreakfast, though, and Pidge mostly makes dinner, just because of their wake-uphabits.
·        They take turns with the dishes in that whoevercooks the meal doesn’t have to do the dishes afterwards. Whoever starts thedishwasher doesn’t have to unload it, though, just to make it fair in that regard too.
·        Keith takes care of most of the yard work. Pidgedid her stint with the Nature Thing, she doesn’t need more. Plus, Keithfinds nature peaceful, so he actually enjoys the task and takespride in how their yard is kept. He maybe starts a little garden after theirfirst child is born and old enough to toddle around but that’s neither here northere just saying
·        Pidge takes care of any/all repairs to thingsaround the house in regards to technology/appliances/stuff of that ilk.
·        Pidge cleans the bathroom as well as mops thefloor in the kitchen. Keith vacuums their room and the front two rooms.
·        They do the laundry together. One of them startsit, the other switches, and they work together to fold and put it all away.
Okay, now to get to some of the more Romance-Centric CoupleStuffs.
·        Keith is an absolute morning person, so henormally gets up early and goes for a jog. Pidge wakes up briefly to whineabout him leaving because she was enjoying the company and warmth, thank youvery much, but he just kinda laughs her off. He’ll typically come back, take ashower, make coffee and start breakfast, and bring Pidge her cup to coerceher out of the comforter cocoon she has made for herself.
            Pidge likes to occasionally slip into the gymwhen Keith’s working out and pretend like their strangers and just openly flirtwith him. He low-key adores it and plays along.
“Hey there, beautiful. Come here often~?”
“Can I help you, Miss?”
“You can help me by giving me those digits, hotstuff~!” *winks with left eye*
“Excuse me, I am a happily married man.”
“What your wife don’t know won’t hurt her~!”*winks with right eye*
·        Date nights for them are typically low-key funstuffs. They make practical use of the fireplace to make popcorn or roasted marshmallowsfor s’mores while they watch movies or play video games or other things like that.
·        Some nights they’ll make more complicated mealstogether and sit at the dinner table and pretend they’re at some ritzy restaurantbecause they’re just two stupid dorks in love. They’ll sometimes move to theliving room and use the fireplace for chocolate fondue – the pot was a weddinggift from Hunk – and have wine.
·        The fireplace might also be phenomenal moodlighting for nights where they’re feeling a little frisky~! ;3c
·        They’re both cuddly af. Keith tends to go to bedbefore Pidge, so normally he’ll wake up with her arms and legs splayed over hisback and legs respectively, face pressed into the spot between his shoulders. Shegets super mumbley and whiny when he moves to get up. On the rare occasionswhere Pidge goes to bed first, she wakes up with Keith pulling her so herback is against his chest, his arms looped around her waist and his facenuzzled into the top of her hair.
           Keith and Pidge came to a mutual agreement that Sunday mornings are for sleeping in, no ifs ands or buts about it, and it’s actually both of theirs favorite day of the week. It’s Keith’s favorite cause there’s something nice about sleepy pillow talk with the Missus about all the nothing they’ll be doing that day, while it’s Pidge’s favorite because sleepy Keith is an adorable sight she doesn’t get nearly often enough.
·        They’re both just… so affectionate in privatebecause they feel so damn comfortable being themselves with each other!
I think that’s everything for now that I had in my mind!WHIOSDFJIBSSDAS HOPEFULLY IT WAS ALL GOOD!!!
