October 3: First Frost

Pidge groaned. Why, oh why! Of course the first frost would come on the dawn of her deadline for her last project. Honestly, at this point she’d been up for over 36 hours. All she dreamed of was her warm bed. Yet here she was. In the garden. With her parents and brother. At 4. AM. In the cold. Stumbling over roots and rocks. All while covering her mom’s precious plants with some old sheets. While her fingers stiffened and fumbled. Damn she hated being cold! It was seriously too early for this.

“Mom! You know you have a greenhouse right? Why are you still doing this in the outdoors?” Yawning, her knees buckled when her brother knocked the back of her knees. Hissing a quick “Asshole!” She tried to kick back.

Matt chuckled, “Oops!”

Pidge sighed, “Fuck off Matt! I’m seriously too tired for your sophomoric bs.”

“Language! Less swearing and more covering!” Colleen called out in a sing song voice. Honestly how is the woman this cheerful this damn early in the morning?! At least he dad looked like a zombie too.

“Yes Mom!” Both male and female voices ring out while trying to look busy and avoiding each other’s gaze.

Pidge quickly sticks out her tongue at her brother and takes another step forward, tripping for the hundredth time, until a pair of strong arms encircle her. Blinking up, she turns and stares into Keith’s eyes?!

“Okay, now I’m seriously dreaming.”

Keith grins, “I gotta say, if this was a dream…we gotta work on your imagination Holt.” Lowering his voice he continues, “Cause this is not what my dreams of us look like! Now if you were on your knees-”

Matt shakes his head, snapping a sheet at Keith. “Dude, I have no interest in hearing about what dirty dreams you have about my sister!”

Keith instantly flushes red, “Um, yeah, no. That’s not what I was saying! I didn’t mean-”

Pidge smirks, “Really? I thought you had I-mag-in-ation!”

Keith groans, “Damn it Katie, let’s not do this in front of your family!”

She smiles more widely, “Of course not! I’m not DOING you in front of my family. But, there is more! Do tell! Are we-”

Suddenly Colleen is in front of them both, “Look, I appreciate young love as much as the next mom, but seriously right now, get to work. My babies are freezing. Now, if you want to really make me a grandma, well we can talk about that over coffee as soon as we are done here. But know, I am old school, because I do believe in marriage before babies!”

Pidge mouths, “Later!” To Keith and quickly moves on to cover another row of her mom’s babies. Keith is completely embarrassed he can’t help the grin on his face. Marriage….babies? God he loves this girl. And her crazy family.

Part 2 of Kidgetober Series

Link:

An Unlikely Couple

Summary:

At age 25, Katie Holt had her doctorate astrophysics, worked on so many things, patented even more. Friends and family urged her to expand her horizons, and what better way than to read.

She fell in love with murder mysteries, and as such, tried to write her own. However, so far so bad.

"Your Killer is dumb." A voice said. Pidge's eyes snapped open and she rose to look at the source.

"And you are...?"

The raven-haired man shrugged. "Just a man who read your draft. Anyway, your killer is a fool. You can't kidnap someone like that. Chloroform takes five minutes to work." He leaned back and smirked. "I'm a serial killer." He folded his arms, looking smug.

Pidge laughed. It resounded throughout the café. The raven-haired man didn't seem fazed.

"You're a serial killer?! What a joke!”

"You don't believe me? Fine. Wait until I show up in your house with a cutlass.”

"I dare you, bitch.”

And that was how the unlikely couple of the aspiring Writer and the Serial Killer met.

Pidge felt a chill run down her spine as she tilted her head back to try and follow the massive tree trunk up to the canopy of the forest. “Keith, it's beautiful,” she whispered.

October 6: Storm Clouds Enjoy!

Storms. As a child he loved storms. The pounding rain. The thunder reverberating in his chest. The lighting illuminating the desert sky. The rain creating mini rivers and lakes surrounded by dirt and sand. The all around energy and movement that the wind seemed to whip up everything! He loved it all. He would even stand outside, on the steps as close as his dad would let him just to take it all in.

But then life happened. His dad died and storms brought out his anger-and loneliness. Then Voltron and the fighting happened. The bombs. Explosions. The losses. Nightmares. And now, the sound, the wind the very violence of a storm was enough to make him lose sleep. The insomnia was relentless during storm season. Most times, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t sleep but staying in a large house with his friends meant he needed to be more quiet about it. He didn’t want to worry anyone. He didn’t want anyone to know. Hopefully it passes and tomorrow will be fine. Just one more night.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking on his part. The next day was overcast and the storm clouds looked to be settling over the house they rented for the week. Damn. As night fell, he heard the rumbling. Worse yet, he was sleep deprived from his last Blades mission and then yesterday. He couldn’t go another night without sleep. Fuck!!! What the hell could he do though???

He decided to hunker down in the family room or lowest level of the house. Perhaps it wouldn’t be as bad if he wasn’t just a level down, nearer to the ground. He waited until he figured all were sleeping and tip toed downstairs. There wasn’t a gym but he could play the Pac-Man game until things quieted down a bit. After all he’s gone longer without sleep! He could do this!

So he hunks down at the arcade game focusing on eating these stupid pellets and beating Lance’s high score. He will be damned if they leave here with Lance bragging about how he is number one. He pulls the lever left when he feels a chin on his shoulder.

Looking left, he blinks into amber eyes. “Pidge?”

“Hey bud. Can’t sleep? I can play too!”

Keith blinks, “Uhhh, ok?”

“Scoot then. And prepare to get your ass handed to you!”

Two player game it was. During the night. While the thunder struck, lightning crashed, rain pounded. Yet through it all, Pidge was beside him. Bumping his shoulder, leaning her weight on him, trying to tickle him to make him lose focus. Until finally, the wind calmed down. Silence except of the pressing of buttons. They eventually moved to the couch to watch some movie Pidge claimed was necessary to his health.

They settled on the couch. One at each end. He had thought, just for a second that she would sit closer. Like she did with Hunk or Lance, but it didn’t really matter. Not at all.

Then he felt a cold foot. So he was the bigger man and grabbed her feet to put on his lap. No sense in her bing cold when he was there! He couldn’t tell you how long it was until she was snuggled into his side. But he knew that he stopped paying attention to the movie. Then, to make her more comfortable, he threw his arm around her. Pulling her in even closer. Leaning his head on hers for just a moment. Looking down he realized she was sleeping.

She was so soft when sleeping, so sweet. Her eyelashes were long. And he couldn’t stop the smile. Her breathing was soft. With the occasional huff. She had most of the blanket even though Lance insisted it was jumbo sized. He found himself shifting and maneuvering her so he could partially lay down too. She felt warm. He figured he could get up and carry her to her bed…but the movie wasn’t over. So, he just kept wiggling until they were both laying on the couch.

Blinking tiredly, he realized, the storm has truly passed. He couldn’t help kissing the top of her head. As he drifted off, the only thought was…his … his girl…his.
