#But to be fair Matt was acting especially like a gremlin that day

Okay but I just... really love the idea of Pidge having a dumb baby crush on Lance.

So much.

She's so embarrassed by this.

"Why HIM?" She whines, burying her face into Hunk's shoulder. "Oh my god, he walked into a glass door yesterday. He put his elbow in the fondue fountain talking to a cute girl. He squeed over new moisturizer. He is the source of half the secondhand embarrassment I feel.” "Is the other half Coran?" "Mostly." "That's fair."

"MATT, I HAVE FEELINGS, AND BUTTERFLIES, WHAT DO I DO?" "C O N S U M E   T H E M." "What the fuck.” "No, seriously, who do you have feelings for?" "What the fuck Matt what was that."

See, and she also starts to get really self conscious about all the jokes and jabs she makes at him for his goof behavior. "Is the reason I joke about his terrible pick up lines that they're terrible, or is it that I'm jealous?" (It's not jealousy, he's a cheesy shit she just thinks that's cute) but she gets super self conscious about criticizing him because she doesn't want to be an ass

Lance picks up on the fact that she's being nicer and just

Panics

"Hunk, Hunk, what did she do?" "What?” "Did she accidentally delete all my music or trap my room or plan a mean prank or--" "WHAT?" "PIDGE IS BEING NICE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS."

Someone save these two.

Pidge is awkward, Lance is oblivious, everyone is watching them spiral.

"What do I do does she hate me now" “Why would her not calling you a dipshit mean she hates you" "That's our THING we have a THING I act like an idiot and she calls me on it it's our THING!”

Lance actually finds there dynamic to be incredibly special? He cares about Pidge a lot (Even if it's not a Red kind of emotion yet) and doesn't know what he did to mess this up?

One day, during lunch. Pidge: Ugh, Lance, why. Why are you like this? Lance: Love you too, gremlin! Pidge: I hate you. Allura: Wait, was Hunk lying about what a crush is, then? Pidge: *slowly turns to look at Allura with a dead stare*

*flies completely over Lance's head* *pidge attempts to glare Allura in HALF*

Matt just really enjoys watching the trainwreck

He does, especially for all the Shit Pidge gave him when he had crushes on people

 Anyway, long story short, Pidge crushing on Lance is adorable whether he returns her feelings or not. It’s cute. Let her be cute. Let her have silly puppy love crushes on her friends and try to figure out how feelings work. Let Pidge be a normal teenager trying to hide a blush when the guy she likes says something funny. Let her have her normal teen girl moments in between all the war.

Oh! And let her crush on one of the guys she knows won’t give her shit for being trans.
