#bc Shiro used to freak out a lot more

[grotesquehorse]

keith should lose his memories and come to and realize lance is pretty and then he's like wait. is this a secret. and then just avoids lance altogether.

lance asks to talk to keith alone in private and keith is like ???????? you're pretty. are we dating. lance gets him alone and is like "i'm sorry i know we're getting closer and i abandoned you." or something and keith is like what do u mean closer but also tell me more what is going on and stares blankly at him and lance keeps talking and is like "i know we mean more to each other now and we're past me being obsessed with you." bc he's self aware that he was a freak at the garrison and he's like "i'm trying to be normal about you now." and keith is like DID WE BREAK UP? also PLEASE BE OBSESSED WITH ME but lance KEEPS TALKING and is like "so i'm sorry that i couldn't save you from that comically large rock that bopped you on the head." and keith is like "how would you even save me from that." and this is out loud actually and lance is like. "um well i'm not actually sure but it feels like my fault." and keith is like "that's stupid i'm not your problem." and lance gives him a concerned glance and keith is like wait AM i your problem? and lance is like "you kind of are my problem." softly and keith is like MAYBE WE ARE IN LOVE? and lance is like "we are teammates. and friends. and i care about you." and keith is like ????????????????? "okay." and lance is like "okay good talk." and keith is just confused.

keith tries to ask lance what's going on between them but the convo is just like. "are we partners?" "what?" "you called us partners the other day. are we partners?" and lance is just like. "yeah" and keith is like okay we are in love but lance continues "we get along better now. we were fighting a lot for a while. you didn't care about me as much as i cared about you, i think. and you weren't ready to have any kind of relationship yet" and keith is having internal conflict, okay we are broken up???????????????????? and keith is like "but we are partners now?" and lance is like "yes, we've been working well together lately" and keith is like. maybe we are in love.

later on, lance slings his arm around keith's shoulders and is like "partners in crime!" and looks into his eyes gayly and keith is like okay well i HAVE to kiss him and kisses his CHEEK. and then lance can be weird about it. and keith can be like. hm. is he embarrassed because he doesn't like pda or because we Were dating and now we are not. and it's neither they just aren't dating but keith is like. convinced that Something Romantic Happened Here. keith goes to shiro and is like "um. do i like lance." and shiro is like ?????????? "uhhhhhhhhhhh DO you like lance." and keith is like "uh. possibly. i am not sure."

so now keith has it in his head that he and lance are EXES. and he goes to lance and is like "why did we break up." and lance is like "sorry what." and keith repeats "why did we break up. i don't get it." and lance is like "i. we weren't together? we aren't together? we've never been together??" and keith is like "are you sure. i know i'm the one with amnesia but like. r u sure." and lance is like "pretty sure yeah." and keith is like "oh. so why aren't we together." and lance is like "we. uh. u don't like me." and keith is like "pretty sure i do? i think so." and lance is like "i think i have tricked you somehow." and keith is like "i don't think so." and lance is like "i weirded you out. you didn't want to be friends with me." and keith is like "i'm obsessed with you actually." and lance is like "you don't mean that. you don't know our history." and keith is like "i like u. sorry if i didn't know that before."

lance is laying on hunks floor like "hunk he thought we were BROKEN UP." silence. "as if he'd date me in the first place." and hunk is like "uh. do you want him to want to date you. it sounds like you want him to want you" and lance is like "keith CAN'T like me. i'm great. but i'm not KEITH levels of impressive. but also he's kind of weird. and antisocial. i didn't know he liked ANYONE" and hunk is like "hm" and lance is like. "i don't know!!!!!!!! i mean. obviously i was Weird about him. but i'm OVER that, i am no longer weird about keith. and now it's like he WANTS me to be weird about him" and hunk is like "well he's kind of weird about you too. it's not like he's normal about you either" and lance is like what

keith is like "are you sure you don't like me." and lance is like "what." and keith is like "i've seen how you interact with me and hunk and allura. you said we didn't date. so i don't understand why you're acting so weird around me. well now i get it because i asked you. but before. before i had asked. you had been acting weird around me before that. have you always acted like that around me. didn't i think it was weird. i think its weird now." and lance is like "of course i treat you different you are different than hunk and allura. hunk is my best friend. and allura is becoming one of my best friends" and keith is like "oh. so." (his face is falling FAST) "you just don't like me. we aren't friends. youve never liked me. we have never been friends" and lance is like "NO. NO THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT." and keith is like "i don't understand. you treat me differently than your friends. pidge and shiro i understand. pidge is like a sibling to you. and shiro is more like a mentor. but i thought. okay." and lance is freaking OUT. hes trying to explain himself. "we are getting CLOSER. we are getting there. we are friends. i was so jealous of you for so long. and i was so. obsessed with you. for so long. you didn't even know who i was. you made me feel so insecure. and you didn't even KNOW it. i meant nothing to you. and its fine now. we are okay now. we are friends. i promise. we just aren't that close yet." and keith is like. "i need to leave."

The dad shiro one shot was so good! Thank you! Whenever you get the opportunity, I think it would be so cute, especially because Baby Keef seems accident prone, if he could bonk his noggin as like a 6 year old. Maybe while he's at the park with Shiro or something because having an unconscious lil boy would probably freak Shiro out and I love that kind of stuff. You're so talented. Hope your day is good!

Aww what a cute little prompt! Keith was very accident prone up until about age 17. He took many tumbles, falls and hits as a kid. And of course Shiro always worried (more so the younger that Keith was) but he was a military man so that’s gotta count for something right? I hope you enjoy this and thank you nonny! I hope you have a great day too! I love when you guys send in these asks! I’m working on another one that will hopefully be published tomorrow about Lance, Keith and Shiro!

x.V.x

It turns out that Keith enjoyed daily visits to the park.

Shiro was surprised after the first few visits when Keith seemed to enjoy going to the park, and Shiro was just thankfully that he could get Keith out of the house and exercising. But apparently the boy liked the outdoors, especially considering this park was secluded with trees and plants all over.

Shiro was more sad that he couldn’t bring Keith to the park every day, but between school and Shiro’s work there just wasn’t enough time in the day to always go to the back. Shiro was lucky that Keith didn’t throw a fit like many other kids at six-years-old might, but that didn’t mean that Keith didn’t brood. However, Shiro tried to make it so that they could go to the park, every weekend. Sometimes it was just Keith and Shiro and other times Shiro brought along Lance, Hunk and Pidge and occasionally Allura and Coran would join them (though Shiro made sure to never leave Coran in charge of the kids, ever again).

Today was one of the days that Shiro had invited the other kids to come along with him and Keith, much to Keith’s excitement. Although, Keith wasn’t about to let Lance and the others know that. No, no. He would instead look like he was annoyed by their presences and then continue to scowl.

Shiro simply shook his head at Keith’s antics but knew within a matter of minutes that Keith would be sure to include his friends in all of his activities such as who could build the biggest sand castles, who could swing the highest, who found the best hiding spot. Shiro noticed that Keith tended to play competitive games, not that there was anything wrong with that, but Shiro couldn’t help by maybe suggest some better games.

At least the kids were having fun.

At the moment, Keith was helping to apply hand sanitizer onto Pidge’s from the hand sanitizer that Shiro kept in his “Dad Pack” which was really just an outdated fannypack, as Lance had called it so delicately. Shiro’s expression was more one of reluctance than any sort of annoyance.

Lance was currently trying to shove Hunk up the small slide they were closest too and Shiro was thankful that there were hardly any kids there. Lance and Hunk didn’t seem to be making any progress in the six minutes that they had been trying while Pidge and Keith were washing their hands.

“C’mon Hunk, use your legs!” Lance grunted as he turned around to try and shove Hunk up on his back.

“I am! What do you think I’ve been using?!” Hunk cried, touching the tip of the slide with the barest parts of his fingertips.

“Try harder! You’re a leg man!” Lance said, face slowly turning red as Keith and Pidge finally finished. However, they and Shiro simply watched the two struggle.

“I’m a leg!” Hunk screamed, using the extra boost in his energy to leap off Lance and grab the edge of the slide. Lance toppled backwards from the momentum, falling flat on his back while Keith doubled over with laughter. Pidge’s lips twitched in a grin and Hunk finally managed to pull himself upright, before pounding his hands against his chest and yelling in victory. Shiro shook his head despite the cautious looks thrown their way.

“Me next. me next!” Keith scrambled up after Hunk, shoving past Lance who protested loudly at the movement. Lance was quick to jump after Keith, on his other side and race up after them.

“No! Me! It’s my turn, you jerk!” Lance yelled as he and Keith reached the top at the same time.

“Boys.” That was all that Shiro had to say before Keith and Lance’s shoulders had both slumped and the two nodded carefully. Thankfully neither had continued with their argument, but instead once Pidge had joined them, the four were racing off through the playground together. Shiro couldn’t help but smile when he noticed that they had all held hands with one another.

“Pidge, what’s your ETA?” Lance whispered loudly, with one hand pressed against his ear as if talking through an imaginary communication device.

“We’re in.” Pidge said just as loudly. She and Keith were both crawling across a wobbling rope bridge. Lance was hiding out on top of a swirly slide while Hunk was standing at a wheel that was attached to the side of the playground.

“Good, Hunk, how’re we looking from the front?” Lance continued, eyeing invisible targets. Hunk nervously continued twisting and turning the wheel.

“I-I dunno guys. I don’t see anything.” Hunk stated and Keith rolled his eyes.

“Since when did we make Lance the leader?” He mumbled under his breath and Pidge shrugged.

“Ah, the most handsome, dedicated and best pilot is the only one who can be the leader.” Lance grinned as he formed a pose that clearly showed off what muscle he had.

“Exactly. Why are you the leader then?” Keith continued, while Lance cried out defensively. He stomped against the sliding pouted with arms crossed over his chest, while Keith snickered and even Hunk managed a smile at the display.

“Stop being such a sourpuss Keith! It’s bad for the mission!” Lance argued loudly while Keith sighed. He and Pidge were just about to stand up on the wobbly bridge when it all went downhill. Pidge had eagerly decided to jump off the bridge and onto firmer ground, with Keith right behind them. However, the force of Pidge’s jump ahead of him made the wobbly bridge even more unstable. Unfortunately for Keith, that meant stumbling backwards, which was a small handrail.

And Keith had managed to fall through the bars, onto the ground below.

All of the air left Keith when his body hit the ground, and it only took seconds before the six-year-old found his vision going black and the last things that Keith heard was Pidge, Lance and Hunk screaming out for him.

Keith!

x.V.x

Shiro had been enjoying the time at the park. He’d managed to get through a couple of chapters of his book, while constantly looking up and listening to the kids. They were never out of sight and they were old enough that Shiro was able to stop hovering over them the entire time. Though, they were due for a snack break in the next few minutes.

Shiro had closed his book and was about to call them over when he heard the scream.

“Keith!”

In less than a second, he was on his feet (book forgotten) and he was sprinting to where he could see Hunk, and Pidge on the playground. As he got closer and closer to them, he could finally make out two figures on the ground. One was rocking back and forth, clearly panicked as their arms flapped wildly. The other was lying motionless on the ground.

It only took Shiro less than a second to realize that it was Keith who was motionless and Lance who was on the verge if panicking. By the looks of it, Pidge and Lance weren’t too far behind him.

I only looked away for less than a minute! How did I let this happen? Shiro could feel his guilty conscious creeping in on his thoughts and the idea of slight panic never seemed so real than it did in that very moment. All Shiro could even begin to think about was that Keith was on the ground. Unconscious. Unmoving. Possibly hurt.

“Keith!” Lance, Hunk and Pidge all stared with bright, big and teary eyes as Shiro sprinted over to them before kneeling beside Keith’s prone figure. It was even more worrisome that Keith didn’t even so much as flinch when Shiro dropped down right beside him.

“Keith, sweetheart? Can you hear me? Sweetheart, please open your eyes?” Shiro practically begged. His hands hovered over Keith’s prone body, shaking with fear, and unsure of what to do. Do I move him and risk it if he’s hurt his neck? Should I check for a pulse? What if there is no pulse? What if he’s not breathing either? Why haven’t I checked his breathing? What do I do?

“Keith, sweetheart? Please open your eyes for daddy. Please. Please.” Shiro begged once more and he heard Lance and the others beginning to shuffle beside them. Normally, he would have tried to get them to give Keith some kind of space, but Shiro wasn’t exactly in the best of minds at the moment.

“Keith. Please, sweetheart! Just open your eyes for daddy. You’re alright. You’re alright.” Shiro’s hands shook again as they stayed above Keith’s body. Even his prosthetic was shaking.

“I’m sorry Mr. Shiro! It’s all my fault!” Shiro heard Pidge yell from behind him. Despite the adrenaline and fear that was running through him right now, Shiro could feel his heart beginning to break for the little child. Oh Pidge. If anyone is at fault, it’s me.

Shiro’s mind was racing a hundred miles an hour and his heart was seconds away from leaping out of his chest. What do I do? What do I do?

“Please Keith.” Shiro whispered, voice cracking and yet Keith still did not move.

Calm down daddy. Shiro’s wet eyes blinked rapidly when he could hear a tiny, familiar voice floating into his head. His hands froze over Keith’s chest and his eyes widened. You need to calm down, it’ll be okay daddy. Just take a deep breath and calm down. You were trained in the military to act calm and take in the situa-t-ion.

Slowly, Shiro could feel his hands beginning to shake less and less. The world around him became less muffled and he could understand the noises that surrounded him much better than before. He could hear the other children crying all around him, as Lance tried to kneel next to Keith. he could see the small rise and fall of Keith’s chest from where he was laying.

Patience yields fosus. ‘Member that.

Carefully, Shiro took a deep breath and put his regular hand over Keith’s neck, where he found a steady pulse beating under his finger tips. Once more, Shiro released a breath he hadn’t realized that he had been holding.

“Lance, Hunk, Pidge.” Shiro finally spoke up, noting the way that his voice had remained calm without hesitation. He looked up from Keith’s slack face to meet the teary stares of the kids. Gently, He gave Lance a pat on the shoulder. “I know you must feel bad, all of you, but this wasn’t your fault. It was simply an accident and there was nothing any of you could have done to prevented it. We all get hurt.”

When he noticed Pidge opening their mouth to speak, he smiled softly. “It’s alright Pidge. This wasn’t your fault. Keith fell and it was an accident but he’s going to be okay. He just hit his head and it knocked him out. Keith will be okay. But I need you all to give him a little space, okay? Can you do that for me?” It took a few seconds, but eventually all three kids nodded and slowly Lance moved to stand by Pidge and Hunk. Thankfully, none of them left Shiro’s line of sight.

Just as Shiro was turning back to his son, he found Keith stirring and Keith’s cheek brushed against the tips of his fingers. Calming his frantic heart, Shiro forced himself to keep quiet as he looked down at his son, who was beginning to shift. He’s able to move all of his limbs which is a good sign. I haven’t felt any swelling yet.

Keith began to blink tiredly, until his eyes slowly opened half-way to look at Shiro. Shiro had never been so glad to see those beautiful blue eyes that reflected violet in the sun. Shiro carefully maneuvered his body so that it blocked the sun when Keith opened his eyes.

“Daddy?” Keith frowned in confusion when he tried to sit up. He was gently helped up into an upright position, where Shiro immediately began to poke and prod at Keith’s back, neck and head for any sign of injury. Other than a large lump on the back of Keith’s head, he seemed to have escaped with little to no injuries. Not even a bruise.

Finally Shiro felt like he could breathe again.

“Oh Keith, thank goodness my little star!” Shiro smiled softly and stroked Keith’s cheek.

“Daddy? What’s going on? Why are you here?” Keith asked tiredly and Shiro smiled.

“Do you remember what happened?”

Keith’s frown deepened. “No?”

“You fell off the bridge! That’s what happened! You fell right off and hit your head until you were asleep and it was all my fault!” Pidge pouted with big fat tears rolling down their cheeks. Shiro’s stomach churned at the small child’s guilt and he attempted to comfort them, as he pulled them over to Keith. However, before he could speak, Keith had wrapped an arm around Pidge’s neck before pulling them on top of him. Shiro jumped, quickly holding Keith and Pidge upright.

“Not your fault!” Keith huffed. “It was an accident so stop blaming yourself, it’s gross.”

“But I made the bridge wobbly!”

“It’s called the wobble bridge for a reason, Pidge. You explained why but I got bored and didn’t listen.” Keith said with a dramatic sigh. Shiro took that as a good sign that Keith would be more than just fine. Quietly, he began to grab an ice pack out of his “Dad Pack.”

“It was an accident. And if you blame yourself one more time, Ima make sure Zarkon gets you.” Shiro snickered at the horrified look on Pidge’s face and the squawk that they made. He was quite surprised when Pidge hugged Keith once more and Keith did not push them away as usual. When Shiro was just about to put the ice pack on Keith’s head, he felt Hunk and Lance both sprint past him before glomping Keith. Of course, Keith protested loudly, with a fake roll of his eyes, but deep down Shiro knew that Keith was touched by all the hugs.

“Aw, how cute.” Shiro snapped more than one picture of the cuddle pile before applying the cold pack to the back of Keith’s head. He grinned when Keith shot him a grateful smile and winked. Then he scooped all four children into his arms and held them close.

“Cuddle fest!”

galra keith headcanons

since we were robbed of canon galra form keith im doing whatever i want with this idc

when keith first starts changing he doesnt get the bulk immediately so for a good minute hes just super tall and lanky and doesnt have any concept of how tall he is or how long his limbs are so he bumps his head, knocks things over, and trips over himself - a lot

when his fangs first come in he gets rly bad toothaches and shiro just thinks he hasnt been brushing his teeth enough and has cavities

because i say so galra keith gets fluffy cat like ears, except theyre a little bigger and rounder like bat ears (lance Adores them bc of COURSE keith is a cat)

when he first starts changing he of course goes into hiding bc he is still uncomfortable with his genes and doesnt think anyone else will want to even look at him anymore

obviously his hiding is noticed the first person to check on him is hunk (at lances adamance) hunk finds him in the dark and only can see his eyes which freaks him out at first and then the lights come on and he sees its just keith and keith is just trying to hide himself and hunk is like come on buddy and they have a nice talk and hunk assures him that nobody is gonna think differently of him and that he is loved and is still the same old keith and keith actually reaches out and hugs hunk first 😩

hunk calls a meeting and brings him out to the rest of the team where the reactions are ,, mixed , pidge is freaking out with excitement for the science aspect of him changing seemingly at random and that his body was even able to do it, coran and allura dont have any bad type of reaction, they are more in awe because keith looks a lot like a galra comrade they had back on altea, shiro is laughing because keith is so easy to read with his new ears and looks so awkward with his new height and the toothaches now make sense, and lance is surprisingly silent because hes freaking out on the inside because of how absolutely adorable keith looks and wow his eyes are so cool and oh my god hes taller than me and its making him blush

despite him still not having the bulk most galras have he’s definitely gotten stronger and it makes him want to train with allura more often because he feels like he now actually has somewhat of a chance at beating her

he realized his strength when lance was joking with him and keith accidentally sends lance flying across the room when he went for a light shove (lance totally does not think its the hottest thing ever)

everyone learns galra have surprisingly affectionate instincts when it comes to people they love, keith starts doing little things that are perfectly in tune with what the others need and theyre all pretty sure he hasnt even noticed

theyre also pretty sure he doesnt even notice when he growls at every alien lance tries to charm (lance also of course does not notice the implications of this)

its not just lance he does it with either , he’s surprisingly protective of pidge and its discovered when pidge and hunk are roughhousing over some tool and he all but tackles hunk

pidge takes advantage of this by making sure keith is always around when pidge wants to mess with the others with no consequences

also keith ends up having a sensitivity to the lights of the ship when he first changes because of his eyes , allura immediately has coran adjust the light settings in every room of the castle

overall we deserved the awkward trying to get used to my new galra traits keith

[cluelesslesbian]

• lance choses his room first because he's pretty overwhelmed by the whole situation

• one minute he's seeing what pidge is up to with hunk back at the garrison

• the next, he's flying in a mechanical blue lion, meeting alteans in some castle on another planet

• he needed some alone time to think things over

• him, hunk, pidge, shiro and ugh- mullet head, are supposed to become the paladins of voltron?

• it was a lot to take in

• when could he see his family?

• would they possibly take a pit stop to earth?

• his family doesn't have a clue on where he is

• keith is following not far behind and notices which bedroom lance chooses

• he looks around the hall as if someone would be there to judge his decision

• and chooses the room right beside lance's

• not because he wanted some excuse to be near lance of course to possibly get rid of the whole rivalry thing

• it just...happened accidentally

• he finds himself regretting his decision

• when lance finds out he's a little taken back, assuming he'd choose a room next to shiro's

• he wasn't going to admit this either because they're rivals 😤

• but he was a bit happy to have keith's room near his

• and would hide how he really feels with a "god. i can't believe mr. drop out PURPOSELY choose his room next to mine just to bug the shit out of me, smh."

• keith's response to that would be something like: "ha...yeah, cause i hate you. a lot. there's no other reason why i choose that room. nope. not at all."

• lance gets obnoxious by blasting music in his bedroom purposely during random times of the day, singing along with the songs

• keith either kicks the wall (which does nothing)

• or comes in the room with his knife held up high

• because of their rooms being together, they're told to wake each other up

• keith ends up having to wake up lance more other than vice versa

• he walks into the room, awkwardly standing there and just kind of staring before actually attempting to wake him up

• he slides lance's headphones down gently and nudges his shoulder

• lance only mumbles, reaching out to grab keith's arm

• keith has a small gay panic and ends up yelling his name, yanking his arm away

• which freaks the fuck out of lance

• he doesn't shut up about how keith "aggressively woke me up like the castle was on fire! i thought getting older meant i wouldn't get crazy wake up calls like the one's my siblings would do."

• the rare and i mean rare times when lance wakes keith up

• lance will barley touch keith's shoulder and he jolts awake, grabbing his knife from under the pillow

• some nights when keith wakes up, due to a nightmare, he hears the gentle yet muffled from a guitar coming from lance's room

• sometimes he'll even hear him singing softly

• it soothes keith, making it easier for him to fall back asleep

• one time keith accidentally walks in on lance playing the guitar during the day

• he sorta freezes up but relaxes his shoulders after a moment

• they just sort of stare at each other in awkward silence

• keith: you know- i've heard you play before- not to sound creepy or anything...and uh, you're pretty good

lance: really? thanks man. playing usually helps me cope when i'm down in the dumps and has just become a hobby of mine

• then lance gives keith the softest smile ever that makes keith's heart pump as if he'd just ran laps around the castle

• he makes up a lame excuse to leave

• lance frowns at his sudden excuse and assumes he'd said the wrong things and starts apologizing

• keith waves him off, apologizing himself, telling lance he wouldn't mind hearing him play some more

• so lance offers he sits across from him as he played

• lance explains the song he's playing was his mothers favorite song, singing the lyrics in spanish

• keith had no idea what he was saying, but that didn't matter

• what mattered was the joy displayed on his face as he sung, confidence shining through his eyes

• at this moment keith had come to realize that his crush he had on lance might be something more

this one went from klance having rooms next to each other to keith pinning over lance playing the guitar- whoops

— 🌙 moon anon

YESYESYES

I cannot believe we have no context for how the paladins chose their rooms?? Like ajdkfl WHAT YOU WROTE IS SO GOOD- the creators couldve totally shown us how the paladins would cope after tough battles by showing us a scene like that???

aaaanyways now for my screeching

I LOVE the langst. like srsly.

Lance would totally feel comfortable with Keith's room next to his- BECAUSE Keith doesn't remember know him as well as the Garrison Duo

Like hear me out,, it's so much easier to let yourself feel sad when you know you don't have to worry about?? making others feel responsible for it????

So Hunk and Pidge would only make him bottle up his feelings more,

Hunk especially would feel bad about Lance feeling bad which would make Lance feel bad and itll just spiral right there

and Shiro is his HERO- absolutely no way Lance wants to show "weakness" around him (very unhealthy mindset btw! feelings ain't bad to have, but I get idk wanting to pretend youre invincible to look good in front of people u admire :/ )

But Keith???? yeah. he'll work....

idk maybe I'm projecting too much with that^ one ahdjfk MOVING ON

awkward keith checking to make sure no one is gathering evidence that he's a simp??? hilarious and completely logical bc pidge and shiro would DRAG HIS ASS if they found out 😂

KEITH PULLING OUT THE KNIFE EVERY CHANCE HE GETS- LIKE THE DRAMATIC KING HE IS??? *CHEF'S KISS*

klance x music! klance x music! klance x music!!!

like that whole last scene was so soft I'm in love with it 🥺❤

PINING KEITH!!! BUT AFTER GETTING TO KNOW LANCE again?? AND LIKE NOT NECESSARILY AWAY??? TOP NOTCH

@lesbianklance come get yall juice

Keith’s Type by AmbitiousSkychild

Status: Complete

Summary: “How would anyone notice what anyone else’s type is in the middle of all this?!” Matt demanded, laughing. “What’s Keith’s type?” Lance blurted out like an idiot. “It’s… obvious,” Pidge said. “He gets all flustered over shitty puns and most physical comedy. And have you seen the way he stares at Hunk when he’s going on about the mechanics of something? Like how the lions work? I’ve literally seen him blushing when Hunk goes into explanation mode.” “So, you think he has a crush on Hunk?” Lance squawked. “No. You bonehead,” Pidge laughed. “I’m saying any dad-joke-telling, klutzoid with good grades has probably got a pretty good shot at Keith.” Or: It figures that after years of getting it hilariously wrong face-to-face, Lance finally gets good at talking to Keith through a screen, which is, like, one of his biggest accomplishments. Then, Pidge makes the comment that Keith has a type, while heavily implying that it's Matt. But, listen, with everything going on with Voltron, the coalition, the Blade of Marmora, and Coran, Lance isn't going to get distracted worrying about it. Ask anyone, he's always been great with measuring levels of importance....

CW: Jealousy, Referenced Suicide

My thoughts: As disappointing as canon can be, the canon universe has so much potential that authors take full advantage of. When canon posed the problem of Keith being apart from the team for oh so long, our wonderful authors simply took it as a challenge. This is one of the brilliant fics that roll with the long-distance thing, and it takes place throughout season four. I love fics from this season because A Lot happens and I thought there was so much more to it than what canon gave us--the team breaking apart was a big deal to me, so focusing on team dynamics, Keith’s time with the Blade, and--gosh--the end of this season, just means a lot to me. It focuses on a klance relationship in the heat of utter turmoil, and Lance’s jealousy was a cute and humorous aspect, especially with how harmless it was through Lance’s personality and the realization that he likes Keith.

The Loverboy Trials by PM_Writes

Status: Complete

Summary: He can tell Shiro is struggling to remain collected. “And why do you think Keith is your…sex…god?” And geez, that would be so much funnier if this wasn’t so disturbing. The representative leads them to the back of the council room where she pulls aside a large curtain. Behind it, a huge mural stretches to the ceiling. It looks exactly like Keith.

CW: Referenced Suicide, Violence, Talk of Dubious Consent and Sex, Suffocation, (Alien) Alcohol, Injury

My thoughts: Another #FuckNaxzela2017 fic. This takes place after season four and Keith stays with Voltron for a bit after what happened. The team goes on a mission and things get weird--so, like, a regular canonverse fic, but when the war is getting really serious and we most need a bit of that Voltron normalcy (discretion: Voltron “normalcy” is missions going wrong and wonky). It’s really cool because the team is sort of back together, but Keith is still separated from them for the majority of the fic--just not with the Blade. It’s really weird circumstances, but Keith and Lance still interact throughout the fic a lot, so don’t let that discourage you. Its absurdity is hilarious; there’s excellent klance banter, and great fluff and angst.

Of Escorts and Espionage by hisboywriter

Status: Complete

Summary: Lance preened. Escort? That sounded kind of sexy and badass. “Why, of course, Princess,” he said, standing up to offer his hand at Allura. “I would escort you to the most Galra-infested reaches of the galaxy if you asked.” Allura’s arm rose but the hand she placed in Lance’s palm was not hers.It was Keith’s. ~ AKA I just really wanted klance blossoming through an adventure

My thoughts: Remember this one? No? Seems like you’ve got an exciting read ahead of you. This is one that I read pretty early on in the fandom, so it’s a big nostalgia pick. It really emphasizes that enemies to lovers trope, and there’s secrets across the freaking spectrum. Lance and Keith are keeping secrets bc they’re undercover, but there’s also a whole bunch of shady stuff going on at this planet, and Keith is getting those Bad Vibes constantly. It is exciting and breathtaking and so beautifully written.

Status: Incomplete, Continuation Not Determined

Summary: “Then come see me,” Lance murmurs, and it makes Keith’s heart pound behind his breastbone. “Us, I mean. Once a week or something? Like mental health check-ins. We can just hang out, or...or go on low-priority, low-stress missions? Scouting, or flower-picking for Coran, or supply runs. Dumb stuff. Just...so we know how you are. I don’t want...I mean, we all miss you. And I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but...it feels like you’re not...not okay, Keith.” Well, Keith thinks, a little weakly. He never really stood a chance, did he? “Okay,” he says, right away. No fight. No refusal. His life is a hell of a lot easier when he lets himself cave under all the ways he wants Lance's luminous attention, and company, and friendship. All the ways he wants Lance, full stop.

My thoughts: This fic makes me. So Happy. It’s another one after season four--really, during season five--because I have a problem, but oh my gosh look at how happy these boys are and tell me your heart isn’t full of joy. I’ll wait. Really, that’s the point of the recs; go read. Stupid teenagers in love stuck in the middle of a war, but they really need a freaking break and I support that. They deserve a break. They’re like fucking twelve. This fic just is so cute and so soft and so funny; it gives me life every time. 

Crossroads by manamune

My thoughts: Another throw-back! The Naxzela of its time, if I may say so. I'm joking. Sort of. It really kind of predicted that shit, though, didn't it. Anyway, this was another fic I read early on in this fandom and can I just tell you how blown away I was? It's labeled as a murder mystery, and, you know what, it is. You are absolutely trying to figure out what's going on the whole time, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. It doesn’t... technically... take place in canonverse the whole time, but the main Keith is from canonverse. So it counts. Absolutely enthralling read.

[echotovalley]

so because I’m taking a writing break but still super needy

I figured I would post this outline for a pokemon au that I’m never going to write. it’s basically notes from a conversation I had back in early 2018? Imagine my surprise going back now and realizing this might read much like Detective Pikachu - cubone is just my favorite pokemon

***before we get into anything please know that while I play pgo and I’ve learned LOTS of new pokemon, I’m still the most familiar and attached to the og 150 + 1. I also probably get a lot of canon pokemon rules and history wrong but my heart is in the right place

reblogs appreciated! | come talk at me about your thoughts or literally anything

premise: keith might not be a pokemon person

but pokemon are definitely a keith person

- for unknown reasons keith docks in cuba, he's kind of just been getting work and moving moving always moving because one place never works out for long. pokemon are everywhere but it's not his thing.

it never happened for him besides why would he make an animal be saddled with him? there's no stability there. and again, he's always moving. through so many different regions.

he doesn't have the heart to yank a sandshrew onto a barge across the atlantic or a charmander up the northeast coast of the US. he can barely take care of himself. and it's weird by now. to not have a pokemon by now. they were everywhere and so normalized.

they were part of everyday school curriculum and even in hospitals and rescue stations. which is another reason why he never stayed in one place very long because not having a pokemon didn't incite people to trust you.

bc even team rocket (team rocket still sounds so much better than team galra but team rocket is the galra) had pokemon that bonded and trusted them.

he gets a room and some horrible job on the coast and basically just gets by. tries not to cause trouble or get caught or encourage rattatas or a caterpie to follow him home because they could still smell half the lunch he didn't eat tucked in his bag

- i'm plotting by the seat of my pants but what really kick-started all of this was the thought of Keith finding a wounded cubone in the middle of the night.

it's too dark and raining to tell what animal or pokemon attacked it or if it was a person that fractured the skull he wore enough for a piece to break off along the jaw

the cubone sustained a mean looking scrape to its face and this is not what keith needs right now but he can tell the cubone's crying and kind of just accepted what's happened and it keeps pawing at the missing piece in the skull and keith may not actively interact with pokemon but he doesn't hate them and he still has a heart.

he's docked in cuba and his spanish just gets him by to get food and money and not anger anyone

he didn't think the barge's docking region through all of the way so he's got a cubone to help with rudimentary spanish that sucks on the best day but he's going to try and get the cubone help

he starts rushing through streets and people's yards because he could have swore the town had a gym he passed but in the dark and rain it takes him a full hour to find the gym.

- duh it's closed but he's at least going to bang on the doors and hopefully it's going to set off an alarm or something

the police will show up or someone will be able to take the cubone where it needs to go. his hand is numb from knocking as hard as he could before the door is whooshed open and someone is spitting rapid fire spanish like venom and he thinks he manages to get out that he can really only speak english and shoves the cunbone into their hands.

before he knows it, he's being yanked by his collar into the gym and down hallways and finally into the blinding lights of the pokemon center on sight.

there's more spanish and faces that look so similar that its clear it's a family that runs the gym.

- beep beep guess who's family owns and runs the gym

the pokecenter is actually a rehabilitation center founded and run by the McClain family for several generations

he gets questioned after the cubone is taken back behind the doors and it takes someone repeatedly snapping their fingers in front of his face to get him to come back to the conversation.

his name's keith, he's from the US, he just found the cubone - no he doesn't know if it has an owner, doesn't even know if it’s wild or if it has a nearby pack or how it got hurt or how long it’s been hurt.

but keith,

keith is his name and he can at least answer that.

he stays there over night and finds out that Marco is the one that answered the door. Veronica is the one to actually examine him because he looks like he's about to pass out.

their mother is the one to assure him the cubone would be fine - her daughter Rachel attends to injured pokemon and gets another son Luis to show Keith to a room in their house and keith passes out the second he stumbles to a bed.

- in the morning, when he goes to the bathroom and is in the middle of washing his hands, another son is banging on the door for Marco to get out of the bathroom and that's the first time he meets lance

when Keith yanks the door open he tells him to freaking stop because he's clearly not marco.

an older man, probably come to break up a fight, stops and blinks at keith before shouting over his shoulder about not remembering having or getting another kid (arthur "and who are you???" weasley style)

(our boy Lance has a minor panic about the cute random guy is his bathroom at 8 a.m.)

Keith gets shoved down at a table covered in food for breakfast and can't keep up he definitely has a headache and is ready to throw himself through a window when he's asked about his pokemon and if they need help too

he doesn't have pokeman and never has had one and isn't really interested and this family has centered their entire lives around it

- he sees the cubone again, in recovery and it paws a little at his hands in thanks

over the next few days, he stays with them and somehow gets roped into doing chores around the facility and given an assigned seat at their table for meals and he's just T H R O W N

they literally have an arbok taking a nap in a hammock in their backyard and a pod of seadras in an olympic pool in the gym just hanging out (doing little races between each other or chasing each other)

a vulpix he learns belongs to one of the McClain siblings (Rachel) sunbathes and sniffs at his feet while he’s working in the yard

and there's a persian destroying blinds in the living room window and a charizard in the kitchen

and some random small children he learns are marco's are throwing or shooting across the floor fridge magnets as a game with a magnemite

- begrudgingly on McClain’s part, keith’s assigned to Lance for being shown around the rehab center

lance takes him to the beach and out into the middle of the ocean on a boat

Keith: "this is where you feed me to a gryados"

Lance: "close"

and a freaking L A P RA S pops up out of the water and clicks at lance and makes little waves in his direction and they do a damn forehead touch he's crazy this is crazy

Keith: "YOU HAVE A LAPRAS???!!!!" - because even keith who doesn’t do pokemon knows what the heck a lapras is

Lance "I don't have a lapras. Nobody owns her. We just give her her room and protect or heal her when she needs it"

- the next few weeks see lance having to admit keith isn’t so bad and that just because he doesn’t have a pokemon, it doesn’t mean he actively dislikes them

the cubone is attached to keith - despite his bad attitude, lance says

this is the initial thought that kicked this off: keith asks if they have a 3D printer and once the cubone's injury is fully healed, he makes a mold for the missing piece and fits it in place

lance denies crying

"you've done one (1) good thing, kogane"

- then the real plot kicks in when the lapras is captured and taken from the beach by team rocket

lance blames keith because of the timing, because of keith's vague answers on where he's from, why he has no friends or family, no pokemon

insert painful, raw, yelled, "I TRUSTED YOU"

keith convinces him he's not part of team rocket and the main story starts where lance and keith leave to go after the lapras and return her to cuba.

- before they leave, rachel throws a pokeball at keith "i think your cubone might like this one"

and lance's eyes get huge because he knows what it is and then a pokemon is coming out of the pokeball

and it's a marowak

the cubone very carefully and slowly approaches her and the marowak just watches and waits. the cubone brushes its bone across the marowak's foot and then approaches and okay keith's eyes definitely water as he watches this marowak kind of take in the cubone.

(THE CRITICAL HIT COMES WHEN THE CUBONE EVENTUALLY EVOLVES. I like to think maybe through poke-magic the skull fixes itself when he evolves and the cubone hands the 3d mold back to keith and gets keith to put it on a chain safe for his skin to wear the 3d mold piece still)

- obv they get the lapras back,

they find out keith's mom was a double agent ofc for the team rocket faction that took the lapras

they meet hunk and pidge and allura and coran and romelle and others along the way to take down team rocket because what’s a pokemon au without the power of friendship

- keith and lance wait at the airport in cuba

it's for shiro, he had let keith travel because he saw that keith needed to find room to grow and find who he was

obviously keith is not 10. he and lance are 17.

anyways he rushes keith and pulls him into a big hug and tells keith how proud of him he is

the first thing lance tells shiro is about the time keith almost stepped on an exeggcute and how they chased him

or the time he almost sustained a skull fracture from a taurus and the time a seel thought keith was its mom

there was also that time with a magby-

keith: “OKAY LANCE WE GET IT THANK YOU”

BONUS:

keith being mildly terrified of the pokemon hanging around the McClain properties

Lance: "if you want to lay in the hammock just move him"

Keith: "just move him?! it's an arbok not a lap dog"

a nest of torchicks gets laid in the backyard and follows keith for two days after they hatch and lance laughs so hard he cries because keith can't shake them and he winds up tripping and they all jump on top of him

keith might not have been a pokemon person

but pokemon are definitely a keith person

Busy Holiday

Summary: It’s that time of year again, and Ashley is helping Marielle and the others get ready for another week of holiday fun. This is causing her schedule to be a little full, which means her and Shiroe haven’t been exactly able to enjoy the holidays together as they should.

W: self-insert x canon, fluff

(( I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I wrote this last night and it was super cute. writing these holiday fics is helping me get kinda back into the writing groove, but also helping me feel better bc I’m kinda not rly feeling good physically right now. But here’s a fic with my husband who I miss terribly. I might make a part two to this for the feast! because I miss my lh family so much ))

The holidays are probably my favorite time of year. Especially coming right off of fall which is my favorite season, my mood just grows and grows as the months pass. And with my favorite holiday here, you could say happiness was it it’s highest. Even today with only a couple more days away, I was running around and trying to get everything situated given Marielle was putting together another festival. Being her sister meant I had a lot of grunt work.

Eventually I ended up feeling pretty tired, having ran around all morning taken care of errands for Henrietta on top of everything Marielle needed me to do. Not to mention the kids in both guilds wanted me to help them decorate for both guild halls, and I had to pick one to do today and then one to do tomorrow morning. Log Horizon won today, mainly because this is my guild now and because once I arrived here tonight I wasn’t getting back out.

The idea of settling down with friends and doing something fun like decorating just seemed like the relaxation I needed. Not to mention Minori seemed excited since I’d been pretty busy and hadn’t gotten a chance to really be around much. Last night while I was helping clean up after dinner, she was rattling off to me about how funny it was seeing me so busy.

“Usually it’s Master Shiroe who’s never around. Has he started rubbing off on you or something?” She asked with a little giggle at the end.

I rolled my eyes a little and bumped my hip into hers playfully.

“Yeah, yeah. Very funny. But you’re not wrong. I don’t think we’ve really seen much of each other lately. Marielle has us both really busy.”

I started drying off a couple dishes, remembering the past couple nights that we’ve tried to see each other and it just fell short. The only moment that I had for a break was to eat a quick lunch and that was conveniently the same time he was leaving for a round table meeting. I smiled remembering the small kiss that he gave me on the forehead, quickly apologizing and promising to see me afterwards.

But at that point I had to rush back to Crescent Moon to discuss feast plans with Henrietta. That involved list making and recipe exchanges, running back and forth making sure both chefs at both guilds were on the same pages. Which meant by the time I got back, I had to eat my dinner alone in the kitchen with Serera to keep me company.

Which I had no complaints about. She is an absolute angel, and we got to talking about all the different things she wanted to help me do this year. Taking as much load off my back that she could do, mainly wanting to be in the kitchen with Nyanta as much as possible. Which I had already planned for, but just hearing her go on and on was a real treat.

She and Minori are the biggest reasons why I realized I desperately wanted children of my own. They were both older, of course, but they still gave me that sense of mothering just by how I naturally am with them. Well, with Minori I’m more of a sister to, but there’s still moments where the inner future mom in me comes out. It’s just a hope that I have that one day I can have that opportunity.

Serera, though, I would adopt her if I could. She’s just this ball of energy and an angel that I adore more than words. I definitely love her just like she was one of my own, and I definitely consider her to be family probably more than anyone. I would die for her a thousand fucking times, and before I left for the night I squeezed my arms around her and told her to never change. Stay as innocent like this for as long as she freaking can.

By the time I got to bed, Shiroe was still working, and I didn’t have the energy to bring him to bed. The only time we got to see each other was in the morning before we both ran off to finish what we had to do that day. It’s amazing that the two of us are hard working, but it definitely reminds me why it would be better if just one of us was.

We’d never get to see each other if that were the case. I knew that it was likely just the business of the season and everything going on, but I knew that the two of us were upset about it. After all, this was supposed to be a time for us to be together. It was our first holiday celebrating prior to our engagement, and we should be spending more time together. Being able to enjoy it is the whole point, and so far that hasn’t really been the case.

But I was also enjoying being able to help ease Marielle’s stress, and help both guilds have a fun time that I had completely forgotten about my own wishes. And Shiroe’s, for that matter. Because he mattered too, and I didn’t want him to forget about that. Or feel like I was forgetting about him.

Which is why I had hoped that the two of us could eventually do something together, once we found the time.

I was in the kitchen after a long day, talking with Nyanta as Serera assisted him with some baked goods for the feast tomorrow night. Henrietta wanted to put together a little something between just the two guilds to get together and have a little fun. It’s been a while since we’ve done something like that, and she promised that she had everything else taken care of so I could sleep in tomorrow. I was definitely looking forward to that, having felt just how tired I was the second I walked in and smelled the delicious aromas.

“Oh that smells amazing,” I mumbled, feeling my mouth water.

“Hey Ashley! Finished everything?”

Serera was checking on something in the oven, putting down her mitts and running over to give me a hug. I smiled, patting her back and giving a small nod of response.

“Thankfully. Everything is pretty much done, which means I can relax until tomorrow evening.”

“They finally gave you a break, hmm?”

I nodded, letting out a little sigh of relief.

“I love them both, but they have had me running around like freaking crazy. I swear my feet are starting to swell. Can’t remember when the last time was that I even sat down.”

“Want me to get you a stool to sit on?”

“That’s fine, Serera, baby. I’m about to go help finish up with the decorations in a few minutes. Anybody know where Shiroe is?”

“Last I heard of him he was still cooped up with more paperwork. No surprise there,” Naotsugu’s voice chimed in as he sauntered in.

He reached to grab one of the pastries on the counter, just as Serera swatted it from his hands. My eyes widened, and I watched him glance after her as she shoved the plate away from him as quickly as possible. It took everything out of me not to burst out laughing, but I was mainly afraid that once I started I wouldn’t stop. Given that I was so completely exhausted.

“Those are for tomorrow!”

“Okay, okay! Geez!”

“Aren’t you supposed to be with Sayeko anyway?” I asked with a lift of my brows.

But the look that he gave me in response was equally as questionable.

“Should I kinda say the same to you? When’s the last time you guys have even seen each other since Marielle started ordering you around.”

“First off, I voluntarily am doing this. Second off--”

I started to say something sarcastic, but I quickly realized I really didn’t have a leg to stand on. He was kind of right, and normally I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction but tonight I wasn’t really in the mood. With a deep sigh, my shoulders slumped forward and I pressed my hand against my forehead.

“To be honest… we’ve barely said a word to each other these past couple of days. We’re both just so busy, and it sucks.”

“Just tell Marielle that you need a break. Sure she’ll understand. She’s your sister for god’s sake.”

“Yeah… You’re right. I’m just really guilty.”

“I mean, this is kinda Shiroe’s thing. Just makes it worse when you’re always constantly working too.”

I nodded, knowing that he was actually speaking a lot of truth. Something that Naotsugu tends to do at times. But I wasn't about to tease him for it, again. Not really being in the mood and mainly wanting to keep things on good terms. After all, I was in the holiday mood which meant not a lot of attitude coming out of me.

He told me a bit about his plans with Sayeko as the two of us walked back into the main hall where the rest of the kids already were having tea that Nyanta had prepared earlier. It seemed they were all waiting for me pretty patiently, which I thought was incredibly sweet and adorable. I couldn’t wait to relax and finally get off my feet.

“There she is!”

“We were afraid that you passed out on us.”

Letting out a laugh, I ruffled most of their heads and leaned back on the back of the couch to watch Isuzu strum a bit. She wasn’t playing very loudly, and it was clear that she was just trying to pass the time. But I always loved listening to her regardless. Listening a little longer might have lulled me to sleep had I not been standing up.

“You sure you’re feeling okay, Ashley?” Tohya asked me with a concerned look on his face.

I nodded, letting out a small yawn as my tails ruffled.

“Yeah, Tohya, I’m fine. A little tired, but I’ll be okay.”

I smiled to try to help them relax, but it didn’t seem to help much. It must have been clear on my face just how tired I was. But I wasn’t going to let them push me out of the room whenever I had made the decision to do this. Plus, I really wanted to be here! No amount of tired could stop me, but I did spend a couple seconds looking around the room.

“If you’re looking for Master Shiroe, he’s still busy,” Minori responded, setting down a box of decorations that she started rummaging through.

“Oh… right…”

Naotsugu noticed the disappointment on my face, nudging me forward a bit with a smile.

With a soft sigh, I nodded in silent understanding and softly gave my cheeks a slap to wake myself up. “Alright, well, let’s go ahead and get started before I actually fall asleep on y’all,” I said with a laugh.

Everyone was curious about how I was able to do all of this, seeing as I never really seemed to work this hard before. It was pretty easy to explain, considering this was one of my favorite holiday’s and I honestly felt like Shiroe might be influencing me a bit. Whether that was good or bad, I wasn’t really all that sure.

It wasn’t that long into the conversation that I heard everyone speak up and greet him. I couldn’t have turned around fast enough, extremely happy to see his face after the rather long day that I had. It was kinda hard to hide too from the way my tails swayed, having all of them out just because they mainly looked cute in the outfit I had on. And Shiroe had made me feel less embarrassed about having all nine of my tails.

“Hey love,” I said with the biggest smile I’ve had all day.

He smiled tiredly, but it was obvious that he was happy to see me too.

He looked adorable too and definitely not like he had been working all day. Wearing his nice sweater and was in the middle of putting on his coat whenever I had turned around. Almost like he was about to go somewhere, and that kind of had me a little disappointed. Where could he be going this late at night? Unless he had some last minute meeting that I forgot about.

“Hey Ashley-”

“You look… nice.”

I still kept smiling, but there was a hint of confusion in my voice. A reaction that he didn’t seem to see coming, and it was quite clear on his face. It was definitely obvious that there was something I was missing here. Even everyone else around us seemed to notice it, the collection of voices slowly falling until there was mild silence.

“Everything… okay?” I asked, getting a little nervous.

“Yeah, uhm… you forgot didn’t you?”

Tilting my head curious, I looked at him with my thoughts cycling through, trying to understand what he meant. Shiroe and I really hadn’t got much chance to talk over the past couple of days, so I couldn’t exactly pinpoint when we had time to make plans. It wasn’t until I remembered yesterday whenever I had stopped to see him before the meeting.

I remembered when he kissed my forehead and went towards the door, he promised me that tomorrow night he would take me out to make up for this. It was very quick, and I did hear him and register it, but I must have just forgotten in between every task I had to do. The second that I realized it, I knew that I had messed up.

“Oh god, I did! I’m so sorry baby!”

Naotsugu made a low ‘ooo’ sound and slowly backed away, which definitely didn’t help the situation. I rolled my eyes so hard that they could have flew out of my head, and I turned my attention back to Shiroe. It looked like he was trying really hard not to let me see how disappointed he was, which honestly I didn’t blame him. I felt extremely shitty in that moment.

“It’s okay, Sweetheart. I know you’ve been busy. We both have.”

“Yeah, but… You obviously went through the trouble to get dressed up, and I… I forgot.”

“It’s okay, really. I mean it.”

He took my hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. Trying to reassure me knowing that I was stressed out, but it still made me feel bad. Especially since I really wanted to spend time with him, but I knew that I also made a promise to the kids as well.

My heart sank, and I didn’t know what to do. And Shiroe was too sweet to make it a thing, which I was partially grateful for given that the kids were around. All I could do was stand there and squeezed his hand, taking in how amazing it felt in my own. I’ve missed his touch that I had started to crave it, even though it really hasn’t been that long. My body just needed it so badly.

He kissed my forehead, giving me a soft smile.

“I’ll go make some fresh tea,” He said, walking off towards the kitchen.

Pursing my lips together, I watched him walk away with my eyes stinging. This was the first time I actually felt like I disappointed him like this. It wasn’t a good feeling, and I understood exactly how he felt whenever he was really busy and forgot something that we had planned.

I turned around towards the others, feeling my ears dropping a little. There was a decision that I had to make here. Knowing that either way I was going to disappoint people, and that’s not something that I really like to do. It was clear on my face that I felt terrible, and before I even opened my mouth Minori spoke up.

“Say no more! You guys go!”

“Huh?”

“Yeah! We can take care of the rest.”

“You two deserve a break, after all.”

A soft smile spread onto my face, and I saw Naotsugu give me a little nod. He patted Tohya on the shoulder, holding a thumbs up. “Don’t worry, I’ll hold the fort here until Sayeko gets here,” He said.

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling my heart calming down a little. It made me feel good knowing that they were all so sweet and understanding. They really were all amazing, and I felt a little better about the whole thing. And it also meant that I could see Shiroe, who I desperately needed to give my time and attention.

“Thank you guys. I love you so much. I’ll see y’all tomorrow at the party, okay?”

They waved me off, turning their attention back to their own conversation and clearly not at all bothered with me dipping out.

I trotted into the kitchen, seeing Shiroe idly chatting with Nyanta. He barely noticed me walk in, and I took the opportunity to wrap my arms around his middle from behind and squeeze him tight. He jumped a little in surprise, glancing over to see my smile.

“I’m really sorry,” I said softly, kissing his shoulder, “But you’re important to me. And you should feel important to me.”

“I know, Sweetheart. But I really don’t mind-”

“Stop, it’s okay to be upset! I know that you’re upset, but I’m gonna make it up to you. So whatever you want to do tonight, I’m there.”

“What about the others?”

“Naotsugu’s got it covered, and they’re actually very cool and understanding.”

I giggled a little, feeling his shoulders starting to relax. There was even a bigger smile on his face that appeared which made my heart skip a beat. He turned around and wrapped his arms around me, pressing a kiss to my cheek. There was a loud giggle that escaped my lips, and my cheeks brightened.

“That sounds amazing,” He said, touching his nose to mine and leaving me breathless.

This. This is what I had been missing. The second that he put his arms around me, I felt entirely at home. I was relaxed and I was comfortable. Nothing else mattered in this world but being with him. Feeling his arms around me and breathing in his scent. He really was my safe place and my comfort space.

Nyanta cleared his throat, and it was at that moment we realized we weren’t alone. Shiroe slowly pulled away, chuckling nervously and pulling at his collar.

“Uh… I’ll leave the tea out for the others.”

He nodded, and there was clearly a smirk that both of us completely ignored.

Shiroe took my hand, lacing his fingers with my own and the two of us talked about what we were going to do that night. Turns out Shiroe had a couple things planned, mainly just to walk around town since it was actually really pretty out and I hadn’t gotten to just enjoy it. Honestly, anything with him sounded like a wonderful idea.

It was pretty chilly, and every time I spoke I could see the cloud of my breath. But honestly, I loved this weather a lot. I’ve always enjoyed the cold more, being someone who feels more relaxed whenever it’s cold out. But with all of the lights it seemed to feel a bit warmer whenever we were passing by a few shops were still open.

“So do you have much to do tomorrow?” Shiroe asked.

I shook my head, leaning against his shoulder.

“Thankfully. Henrietta knew that I needed a break, so she told me that I am completely free to sleep in and enjoy the dinner tomorrow.”

“That’s great.”

Nodding in response, I breathed in his scent and squeezed his hand rather tight.

“What about you?”

“I finished up a lot today, so it seems like I’m going to be free too.”

“Really?”

He nodded, shifting hair from my face and watching my smile form. It meant the world to me to know that tomorrow we’d be with each other all day. This was the first time in a while that this has happened, and I knew that he had made sure of that. It was just the one thing that I needed to fully relax and enjoy the day.

We passed by someone that we knew selling some hot beverages, and we stopped by to grab some. Shiroe chatted a little bit with them while I just stared at his face, seeing the way that he smiled and looked like he was genuinely enjoying himself. Maybe it was just an excuse to look at his cute face, either way I was completely lost.

When he turned back around, I still wasn’t looking away and the pink on his cheeks was definitely not just from the cold. I let out a giggle, taking a sip of my drink and giving his hand a tug. We continued walking just to talk, stopping at one shop just to see a gift that I could possibly grab for Akatsuki. She was the only person I hadn’t gotten anything for yet, mainly because I couldn’t find anything that she doesn’t already have.

“Is there anything that you want?” I asked, “Not that I haven’t got the perfect gift I’m just asking.”

Shiroe chuckled, stopping near a tree and watching me take a small sip of my drink.

“I’m looking right at it.”

My lips curled into a smile, and I gave him a rather teasing look.

“You already have me, besides that’s not really an option.”

“Why not?” He asked, wrapping his arms around my middle and pulling me closer, “All I want is just to be with you.”

A giggle escaped my lips, and it was loud enough for me to shove my face back into the cup in front of me. I knew that people were probably staring, but at this point I wasn’t even paying much attention. Not to mention most people know us anyway and wouldn’t really pay us any mind at all.

Shiroe was definitely a lot bolder now than he used to me. I would never have imagined him holding me like this. PDA was not really his thing before, and it still isn’t entirely, but he’ll hold my hand and hug me a bit no problem. He is still the flustered man I fell in love with, but he’s getting a lot bolder. Which I’m not going to complain about.

“Baaaby-”

“It’s true. I miss you,” He said, “We’ve both been working a lot, and I think that we need to give ourselves a bit of a break.”

“I agree… I miss you too. I guess I got a little wrapped up in helping Marielle that I forgot that we deserve to have fun too.”

He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, smiling warmly in such a way that made my heart feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Shiroe gave me a soft kiss on the lips, before taking my hand and pulling me back towards the guild hall. The two of us were feeling pretty tired and just wanted to go back and climb into bed. Since we had tomorrow off, I’m sure that we planned to rest and relax. The idea sounded like the perfect way to end this hectic week.

“Hey, wait-” I spoke up, seeing him lift his brows.

There was a small silence between us before I grinned.

“Did you just actually say that we need to take a break? As in you need to take a break?”

He let out a loud sigh, rolling his eyes and trying to get me to keep walking. But I wasn’t having it. I kept teasing him and teasing him over and over again. Just because I knew that he was going to have that exact reaction.

I was sure that was the most that I’ve laughed in days, and part of it had to be because I was extremely tired. There was no way that anyone was getting me out of that bed tomorrow until at least two in the afternoon.

[aro-aizawa]

anyways, since the idea won’t leave me alone here’s my pitch for a prince of the galra keith au where lotor doesn’t exist and canon is just a suggestion i guess. (under a cut part ways in bc uhhh it’s like 3.7k words. rip.)

for starters: krolia is human and zarkon’s his dad. a nightmare idea, i know bc uhhhh the same thing that occurs w thinking about how lotor exists is uhh “zarkon fucks?” yeah. yeah he does. which uhhhhh yeah. but bare w me here, bc he’s still an utter dick in this au and krolia is still a badass. 

in this au, krolia was married to mr shirogane and had shiro before leaving earth on a garrison solo mission to pluto. she collided with a stolen galra ship manned by a prisoner who was trying to flee the empire, though the galra ship wasn’t damaged her ship was completely destroyed but she managed to survive for the prisoner to bring her aboard. together they tried to escape the empire, but they got caught. the prisoner was executed and krolia was taken to the arena. 

(earth believes she crashed her ship in the rings of saturn, and honor her death. no solo manned missions to space anymore, and certainly not to places humans haven’t been before. it also delays plans to send more people up there, so the next manned mission isn’t until shiro’s mission to kerberos. mr shirogane dies a five years before that mission.)

there she fought viciously and won literally every single one of her fights with only a dagger she’d earned early on in her battles. even when they provided bigger weapons, she always came on top with just a knife which earned her high praise and approval. enough to gain zarkon’s attention. 

idk why but he forces her to marry him, and when shiro’s 9 years old and krolia’s been in space for 5 years, keith’s born. he doesn’t actually go by keith at this point though because i doubt zarkon would let krolia name him that. not quite sure on what he’d go by though i quite like kyix of discordiansamba’s burgundy. krolia wanted to name him keith, and so calls him that when they’re alone as a secret nickname. 

keith doesn’t look fully human. a la lotor style i guess, he looks human but has purple skin and yellow sclera. pointy zarkon-ish ears and fangs. he’s still tiny as fuck though and doesn’t grow, to which he’s furious about bc galra are big and he’s a shorty but no one mentions it to his face otherwise he’d stab them right where they stand. 

krolia tries her best to raise him w good morals and lessen zarkon’s influence on him but she doesn’t fully manage it. he’s willing to please zarkon even if he’s not cruel about it, and he does wish for the best for the empire but knowing that his father’s reigned for over ten thousand years, he knows he’s probably never going to sit on the throne himself. doesn’t prevent him from getting all the training a prince would need (including a lot of combat training). 

he’s never told much about earth because krolia finds it hard to talk about. she does tell him about humans as a species and teaches him the three earth languages she knows, korean (her native language), japanese (mr shirogane’s native language) and english. she especially doesn’t tell him about shiro, but she does say that she left a husband and her family behind on earth, that she misses them a lot. 

back on earth, shiro goes to kerberos when he’s 26 (two years older than canon) and they still get caught. most canonical events in the year time zone go almost exactly the same. shiro gets sent to the arena, matt and sam still get sent off to the camps before matt’s broken out by the resistance, katie goes undercover as pidge, and lance and hunk are just regular dudes, but lance is in fighter class straight off the bat. 

(to earth, shiro crashes the ship and dies just like his mother did. which is......all kinds of sad to think about.)

except when shiro lands on earth, the garrison trio decide to break shiro out on their own. they then steal a jeep and head out into the desert, finding a nice guy who owns a shack (canon keith’s father but not in this au, who im gonna call mr fireman bc he doesn’t have a canon name). he’s been doing some investigating some funky stuff (the lion), and lets the kids crash at his place bc kids shouldn’t be wandering the desert w/o any supplies at night it’s dangerous. 

anyways, the shack conversation all goes almost exactly the same w mr fireman taking keith’s place. he goes with the kids, but he doesn’t get in the blue lion, she doesn’t let him in. mr fireman parts ways with the kids friendly-like, and the four of them head off to arus. 

things.....largely? stay the same? when it comes to stealing the red lion off the ship, they actually have to get the lions to drag it out of the cargo bay because they don’t have a pilot for it but as long as the lion is out of the empire’s hands, that’s all that matters although allura does try to pilot it when sendak’s ship is destroyed. due to having no pilot, they can’t retrieve black for shiro. so they only have three active lions, but three lions are still pretty powerful. 

from there i haven’t exactly worked out all the kinks but somehow they get in contact with rebels from their steady liberation of galra-controlled planets. they do small targets, taking out the weakest on the fringe of the empire and build up footholds while building the coalition. shiro fights with them on the ground, and using the castle with coran and allura when it’s not possible. sometimes he rides along with the other paladins. 

sometime before they go the galactic hub, and skipping over crystal venom entirely, they join forces with the rebels and the coalition to pull off a mission to kill zarkon. they’d received intelligence to suggest that he’s visiting a less secure ship, to oversee a project for a few days. instead of taking the lions and just blasting the ship to pieces, they decide to infiltrate and take him out stealth like to guarantee his death. 

only the information is faulty because it’s keith there instead of zarkon. 

when they learn that keith is zarkon’s son.......they kidnap him. 

their goal was to hold him hostage and/or interrogate him for weak spots in the empire, but somehow they end up thinking “hm maybe he can be redeemed bc his dad is literally an asshole and ehhh he can’t help who his parents are?” so they give him a chance....tentatively. 

keith, seeing this huge opportunity to sabotage his father’s greatest opponents and eventually steal the lions back for his father, takes this absolutely for granted and fakes his redemption. he basically pulls a lotor, and ends up helping them in certain areas but sabotaging them in others. he’s unable to report back to his father for spying purposes, but he does leave clues and/or hints to weaknesses somehow. all the while, the real reason for these things going wrong isn’t thought of. 

all the while, the paladins are trying to bond with keith. trying to get him to redeem himself, and they end up really liking him even though he’s still rather a loner, doesn’t pretend to be nice and trains like every day. he particularly gets along with shiro, the two of them forming a close bond that keith had not planned or counted on. 

allura is the only one who’s still suspicious of keith. she’s not....hostile. not really, she pretty much acts like she does in canon when keith’s heritage gets out. though they do have a few moments where they could maybe see eye to eye. she’s still apprehensive and unwilling to think that zarkon’s son could be anything but evil. 

this pays off when she investigates a major hit to the castle that renders it unfit for battle for a time and finds that keith was responsible for it. 

at this point, keith has been seriously reconsidering his allegiances. thinking that maybe the right thing to do really was to redeem himself and help out voltron and coalition. he’s not completely blind to the shitty things zarkon did, he’s well aware but he figures that maybe getting his father’s approval isn’t worth all the suffering of others nor something to desire. 

allura attacks keith and calls him out in front of everyone. providing evidence of literally all the times that keith’s fucked them all over. the team feel betrayed, keith is super guilty, and allura’s just pissed. keith doesn’t get a chance to explain before he’s thrown into a prison cell on the castle to wait until voltron can contact the coalition and decide what to do with him because it’s clear that zarkon hasn’t exactly been hurrying to find him. 

but then zarkon attacks the castle of lions with a massive fleet headed by haggar, a force that’s way too much for just three lions to take on while the castle’s defenses are still down. the whole team is in trouble and it pretty much starts to seem like zarkon’s gonna win and the paladins are gonna get killed. 

until the red lion reaches out for keith. 

so he breaks out of prison (that he could have done within minutes of being confined there), and heads to the hangar. he jumps in and uses the element of surprise to disable the fleet enough to make them need to retreat. 

the paladins are freaking out because uhhhh who the hell is the pilot of the lion? they do a little sound off like “allura that’s not you? coran? shiro?” but then keith uses the lion to communicate and basically says “sorry i broke out jail”. 

when they get back to the castle keith awkwardly does a heartfelt explanation of his plans and how the paladins actually did sort of make him want to redeem himself and realise just how much zarkon needs to get murked and stuff. he apologises for fucking them over and he even offers to go with whatever punishment they decide to dish out with no retaliation. 

the team go off and talk for a while. debating if they could really trust him anymore. allura is adamantly against it, pissed off that he’d already betrayed her trust after all zarkon did and the fact he piloted her father’s lion. lance joins her, upset he trusted him at all. pidge and hunk are apprehensive, pointing out that the lion must have seen the good in him to choose him. shiro believes in what keith’s saying and has faith in the kid to actually redeem himself. 

they tell him he can stay but the only reason he’s not dead and/or serving time in prison is bc he’s the red paladin. they make a lot of rules about what he’s allowed to do and not to do though, which keith doesn’t enjoy but he doesn’t complain about them. one of them is that he’s only allowed to fight the empire in the red lion and no on the ground stuff. 

now that the team have the red lion’s paladin they awaken the black lion and they form voltron for the first time. it’s badass, and the liberating of planets goes even faster than before. 

the paladins start to bond again even slower than before bc they need to rebuild that trust. it goes....pretty rockily considering the fact that keith is still pretty prickly in personality, and the others aren’t entirely convinced he’s actually changed sides. but shiro is essentially the only one that actually makes any headway in rebuilding the trust/relationship. 

one night he asks about keith’s mom. bc human far out in space? as far as the team knew there should have only been them and the holts, so he’s definitely curious. keith tells him about a pilot who’d been picked up in their solar system after their ship got destroyed and took them as prisoner. he tells shiro all about his mom and what she taught him of earth. 

but shiro. he starts to wonder who on earth this pilot was. because, uh, only very few pilots have gone missing in space and one of them is important to him. so he asks her name. keith replies krolia. shiro asks “as in...krolia kogane?” and keith’s like yeah. 

shiro mentally freaks out, doing mental acrobats all over the place but his thoughts mostly boiling down to a mixture of “HOLY SHIT MY MOM’S ALIVE” and “HOLY SHIT I HAVE A HALF-BROTHER WHO’S AN ALIEN PRINCE”. he manages not to let keith know he’s freaking out, and excuses himself. 

they end up doing a covert blood test and yup keith is shiro’s half brother. this earns him points in “okay yeah he’s capable of change if we warm up to him”, so the team start to treat him more favorably, not that keith is aware of this new revelation. so it’s common knowledge to the ship minus keith. shiro tries even harder to bond w his little brother, bc uhhh yeah he’s never had a little brother and he definitely likes keith so far even though he was a little evil for a while. 

keith at some point expresses to shiro why he’s fine with not telling zarkon that keith’s on the paladins’ side. that his mother would most likely be killed for turning him against zarkon due to the fact that paladins are humans, and that she’s still at central command completely unable to get away. like a glorified prisoner because, well, she is. 

shiro suggests to the team that they pull off a rescue mission to free krolia, not only for keith’s sake but for shiro’s sake too. plus the fact that she’d been a prisoner for twenty three years. which then kicks of the finale of season 1. (yes we’re still in season 1. it should have been way longer than it actually was.)

things go largely the same, except that in allura’s place it’s krolia. when keith charges at zarkon his identity is revealed to him. they manage to rescue krolia, keith fights zarkon and thace destroys the shield holding them in place. they don’t go through a corrupted wormhole though. 

then there’s a cute heartfelt reunion between keith and krolia. during which keith emotes more than he ever has in front of the paladins, who have pretty much all accepted that yep keith’s a good guy now considering he almost fought to the death with zarkon. 

but then shiro steps up and calls krolia mom which confuses the fuck out of keith, the only one who doesn’t know. krolia shakily says “Kashi?” and they tearfully hug, krolia completely caught off guard that her other son wasn’t on earth where she left him. keith is confusion until krolia explains, and keith asks if that means shiro is his brother. they say yes and they have a big old threeway hug, to which lasts for like an hour because its big family bonding time. everyone is happy for them.

you’d think, huh is this the end of the au? this is pretty long already.....nope!! we’re just getting started!!! (this thing is a monster......hence why im never going to even attempt to write it out lmao)

we go into season 2 where krolia starts to talk to the others about the rebel galra group that she helped and kind of joined called the blade of marmora. she tells them that there was a galra named thace who kept her in the loop about keith, and the goings on of voltron. she tells them that they would be a very good ally in the fight against zarkon. 

shiro then backs this story up with his memory of how ulaz helped him escape jail, and says that they should trust them. the team tentatively agree, but decide not to immediately go to them and focus more on building the coalition. krolia pulls keith aside and gives them a knife that they had given her to protect herself as zarkon prohibited her to carry weapons. its keith’s marmora blade that she was unable to activate because of her lack of galra blood, but they gave it to her to protect herself anyways. 

canon largely stays the same for a while. zarkon still does the tracking thing, except when allura and keith go out in a pod, krolia comes with them. they have a little thing where they make clear with each other where they stand and end up having a little fun despite the tense atmosphere until the castle is attacked by zarkon.

when the team meet up with the blades, keith demands why they didn’t help krolia themselves. they’d already proved with shiro that they could free prisoners if they wanted to, and demands to know why they didn’t risk it for krolia. he wants to know why they never took a bigger part in taking down the empire and why they never stepped forwards to work with voltron themselves instead of letting the team come to them. 

kolivan says that he only gets the answers, an alliance between them and gets to keep the blade if he joins as a member of their order and take the trials. keith accepts. the rest of the blades however, don’t like the idea that the son of zarkon was joining up and taking the trials. but when keith passes and pretty much immediately tries to kill memory zarkon on sight, he proves himself to them. the blades ally with the coalition and voltron. 

again, season 2 goes quite a lot like canon. except!!! in the finale they actually do end up killing zarkon along with haggar and shiro doesn’t go missing! hurray!!! 

but. that means with no prince lotor, and a dead zarkon instead of comatose zarkon, there’s no one to lead the empire. hence a kral zera is called. 

(here is where i mention i have vague memories of s3 onwards and haven’t seen past s4. so i don’t...actually know how most canon events from here on out go in explicit detail. its all pretty vague.)

the plan from there is for keith to attend and win. if he gets crowned the new emperor, he could officially announce the end of the war, and significantly reduce the amount of fighting the resistance would have to do to bring peace to the known universe. the coalition & blades don’t fully trust keith however, thinking that once keith is on the throne he’ll just betray them. 

keith understands and explains he doesn’t actually want the throne. he suggests that they just kill everyone on the planet when the kral zera is called, with no more candidates, the empire will be severely fractured and would still be easier to defeat than having a leader. in the end, they go with the idea of having keith become emperor, but the coalition there in case people fight back against his orders. 

keith wins, some back down and obey and some don’t. the coalition and voltron take down those that fight back, and from there it’s a lot of “keith orders galra to release planets and those that don’t, get liberated by the resistance”. its a lot of politics where keith frees all the prisoners of the empire, lets them get back to their home planets and finds sam returning him to pidge and matt. 

he sets up a colony in an empty solar system for the civilian galra to live governed by the blades, while he sees to it that those that were soldiers are put on trial and punished for their various crimes. 

again, still not entirely sure what happens in late canon, but i guess from there it does the whole...sendak takes earth thing? but it’s actually a pretty easy mission considering they have the might of the entire coalition (which is almost the entire universe at that point) and the blades and voltron. but after the defeat of sendak there pretty much isn’t any opposing galra resistance to keith’s reign? so from then on it’s just the paladins, allura, coran and krolia back on earth experiencing things. 

krolia busts into the garrison like “hey guess who’s not dead! also meet my alien son who’s king of an entire race of people, and my other son who’s leader of the universe’s most powerful weapon also with a sick glowing arm”. the garrison sweats under the pure power and skill the three of them exude. especially when krolia utterly annihilates all records on their simulators/actual ships. and then keith and shiro join in on it too and they end up giving them all the awards and accolades bc no one is going to top that ever. 

the paladins go to disneyland. keith is still technically emperor but considering the blades have been overseeing all galra activity anyways, he’s not really needed. so he just bums around earth for a while, getting to know the other half of his heritage that he never really got to. 

krolia meets mr fireman and they end up getting together bc krolia deserves good things and a desert hermit who helped get shiro back into space and eventually to her with is a good thing. they still live out in the shack tho bc mr fireman is committed to it at that point, bc he ended up living there through sendak’s invasion pretty well. 

and then uh i think that’s pretty much it. keith is a normal teenager, allura and coran get puzzled by human shit, lance reconnects w his family, hunk does too and cooks a bunch of food and pidge works w the garrison in making it less shitty while also just tagging along with whatever dumb things they decide to experience. 

end of au!!!!

[aonogifreactions]

Hiya! I was wondering if I could get some headcanons for Mephy, Amaimon, Yukio, Rin and young Shiro with a s/o other who has a habit of sitting/ laying down in weird places? Like, maybe on the stairs of randomly in the middle of a hallway? And sometimes they'll read but quite often they're just chilling there for no reason? Thank you if you decide to take on my request but please don't worry if you don't!

no problem sweetie!! its 2.30am and i hope you’ll like it!

Mephisto:

generally doesnt have a problem with that

but when he saw that for the first time he was hella confused

i mean he just didnt expect you sitting down on the stairs randomly at all lol

“is.. is everything okay, love? are you tired?”

“No”

“… ok ???”

but when he found you laying down on his desk reading in his office he was even more confused but let you do that nonetheless 

^^^ after a while he walked up to you

“now you just need to spread your legs for me”

you decided to get off his desk

Amaimon:

HES INTO IT

i mean,, he does exactly the same lol

bc no one sits literally on the ceiling and eats chips 

yes he levitates but shh

if you decide to sit down on really weird places like wardrobe he helps you get off of them

i can FEEL he really likes when you randomly sit down and read something, especially when you read loudly enough that he can listen to the book too

young!Shiro:

at first hes like why??? 

kinda annoyed 

later when he got used to it he was just tired of searching you literally everywhere xD

“what are you doing under that fucking table?”

“reading, dont you see?”

shiro:

“who am i dating”

has a rly good laugh when you struggle to get off of furniture

but helps you, hes an asshole but he still loves u

Rin:

freaks out every time cuz he lost you once somewhere in school

he was just walking and talking to you and after you werent responding for like 3 minutes he noticed that youre just not there

??? poor boy almost started crying when he couldnt find you

sometimes he can argue about that with you, but in the end hes just worried that you may fall or injure yourself in the process

BUT HE REALLY LOVES WHEN YOU JUMP OFF OF SMTH AND HE CATCHES YOU WITH HIS ARMS.

after that usually calls you his princess a lot

Yukio:

a big no

does NOT like that

just like shiro, hes just rly tired of searching you

and it seems just too dangerous for him

but wont yell at you or anything

mostly calmly explains to you that sitting or laying down on random places is just dangerous

and he REALLY doesnt want to visit you in hospital.

not gonna lie, but sometimes your positions crack him up. like theyre absurd to the point he just cant prevent himself from laughing xD

[asian-hero]

I’m a slut for flustered Shiro, hold you do a single parent shiro imagine where his daughter accidentally outs his crush on the reader ?

i love this, but i raise you teacher!reader

i hope you enjoy 

i did fem reader i’m sorry (they’ll probably be another one of the same exact story that’s posted after this that’s the male version bc i feel real bad for excluding those readers)

If there was one thing that Shiro loved more than the universe, it had to be his daughter. After coming back to Earth, he spent a lot of time by himself. Of course, he’d usually spend his days training with the MFE’s and training them into one of the best defenders of Earth. He’d also go out and talk to some children about the Galaxy Garrison and why it’s a good place to join. But after all of that, Shiro spent his nights alone, either busing himself with paperwork or training to keep his mind off of things. He always convinced himself that he didn’t have time for anything else.

His continuous volunteering at elementary schools to supply them with information about the Garrison had him questioning why he was even going there in the first place. With his position as captain, he could very well have any other officer under his rank do this task rather than him, but he refused to let anyone else go. Watching all of the kids looking at him in amazement as he told stories about his space travels made him realize that there was something missing in his life. Of course, before, with Adam, they’d planned to adopt kids after they got married, but that plan never happened. Shiro thought that he was only thinking about kids because of his partner, but he never realized that he would actually want children himself. 

So after a tedious adoption process, making sure that he wasn’t a criminal or anyone dangerous, he was finally put onto the list. That list in itself made him rather anxious, as he couldn’t wait to adopt a kid. Finally, after months and months of waiting rather impatiently, Shiro was finally allowed to adopt. Instead of adopting a baby like most folks did, he decided that he had no idea on how to take care of something so little so he decided to adopt a little girl, who was only seven.  Her name was Alice, and from that day forward, she was the most important person in his life. 

It was fair to say that everyone in the Garrison was used to Alice’s presence by the second week. Shiro refused to put Alice in daycare and would send harsh glares at anyone who questioned why a little girl was in the captain’s office. Of course, there were days when Alice would get restless and Shiro would let her go and run around with the supervision of Keith, who was less than thrilled about taking care of of kid, even if it was just for a few minutes. Most of the time she would stay inside his office, talking his ear off about anything and everything.

“—and then we went to the training room where I saw auntie Allura flip uncle Keith!”

Shiro smiled at his daughter, a fond look on his face. “Wow sweetheart, you weren’t near them, were you?”

She shook her head, a pout forming on her face. “No, uncle Keith said that I had to stay by the wall.”

Shiro huffed out a laugh, finishing off the last of his paperwork. “Well, he was probably making sure that you wouldn’t get hurt when they were sparring.”

“What’s sparring?” 

“It’s like play fighting. You don’t actually try to hurt each other, you just try to work on your skills.”

Alice made a face. “Auntie Allura seemed like she was hurting uncle,”

Shiro laughed wholeheartedly at that, fixing his desk before going to pick Alice up. “Well, don’t tell auntie Allura this, but she’s too strong for her own good.”

Shiro felt his smile growing larger at the sound of his daughter’s giggling. As they were heading back home Shiro decided to bring up a new topic: “So, are you ready to start school tomorrow?”

Alice nodded her head enthusiastically, wiggling a bit in his grip. “Yeah! I wanna make friends!”

The rest of the drive home consisted of Alice excitedly talking about going to school the next day. Takashi “Golden Boy” Shirogane was so thankful for having a kid who liked school.

———

The next day was the first time that Shiro had ever taken a day off. When he called in, telling Iverson that he wouldn’t be in, Iverson immediately began to question him. He asked whether or not Shiro was sick, if someone died, if Shiro died again and Allura resurrected him. 

After about ten minutes of assuring Iverson that, no, he wasn’t sick, and no, no one had died, he went to check up on his daughter, who was currently getting dressed for school. Knocking on the door, he called for her:

“Hey, sweetheart, you almost done? We’ll be late!”

At the sound of his voice Alice opened the door, a gigantic grin on her face. “Let’s go!”

Tugging her father’s hand, she ran towards the door, eliciting a laugh from Shiro. Once they were in the car, Alice kept telling Shiro about how excited she was to start school, and that she couldn’t wait to meet her teacher. 

Fifteen minutes later and they finally made it to the school. Getting out of the car, he moved to open the door for Alice, helping her out of it. Locking the car, he took her hand in his, allowing himself to be pulled along to the entrance.

“Do you know who your teacher is?” Shiro asked, looking around at the first grade section of the building.

“Ms. (y/l/n)!” Alice said happily. 

Shiro nodded his head, walking over towards the first grade classrooms and looking at the name tags. He finally reached a door with little birds surrounding a name tag reading “Ms. (y/l/n)’s First Grade Class”. Walking inside the class he was greeted by twenty or so little kids jumping around while the parents were huddled in a corner. He let go of Alice’s hand, kneeling down to meet her eyes.

“Go and make some friends, okay? I’ll go talk to your teacher,”

Alice nodded, skipping away to talk to some of her classmates. Standing back up, Shiro brushed his shirt off and scanned the room, looking for the teacher. When he finally found the teacher, he felt himself freeze.

Yes, Shiro may have come in contact with an Altean princess who was extremely gorgeous, and yes, he’s also met many alien men who were also exceptionally attractive, but he doesn’t think that they could compare to you. 

You were currently getting some things in order on your desk, your glasses slipping down your nose slightly. Seeing how you were flustered with the amount of kids in your room only added to your attractiveness. There was a sort of domestic aura that you omitted that made Shiro want to get to know you. Walking over to you, he cleared his throat to gain your attention.

“Hey, sorry to bother you, I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Takashi Shirogane, Alice Shirogane’s dad.”

You looked at him for a second, momentarily dazed by how attractive he was, before shaking his hand. “(y/n) (y/l/n), it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Letting go of his hand, you pointed at him, brows furrowing slightly, “Aren’t you from the Garrison?”

Shiro nodded his head, flushing slightly. “Ah, yeah. I’m the captain of the Atlas,”

Your eyes widened in realization. Pushing back your hair you frantically tried to look “presentable”. “I’m so sorry, I’m just a little frazzled—“

“That’s alright,” Shiro laughed, rubbing the back of his neck, “It’s the first day of school, everyone’s freaking out.”

You nodded your head, a sheepish smile on your face. Taking a deep breath, you calmed yourself. “Well, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Today we allow the parents to stay in the class, to get an understanding of what we’ll be doing,” You pointed towards the corner of parents, “Parents sit over there.”

Shiro nodded his head, a smile of his face. “Alright, thank you.”

Once he left, you let out a huge sigh. Looking at the clock, you readied yourself, starting the class off.

“Good morning class!”

———

“So how was your first day?” Shiro asked, holding his daughters hand while walking out to the car.

“Amazing!” Alice squealed, “I met so many friends today! And Ms. (y/l/n) is so nice!”

Shiro nodded his head, a smile creeping onto his face at the thought of you. Buckling Alice in, he got into the drivers seat, looking at her through the rear view mirror.

“Hey Alice, can you keep a secret?”

That seemed to catch her attention, as she nodded rapidly, an excited look on her face. Shiro sighed, a content look on his face.

“I think I have a crush on Ms. (y/l/n),”

Alice gasped, her hands flying to her mouth. “What?”

Shiro put a finger to his lips, making a quiet “shh” noise. “You can’t tell anyone though,” Thinking back to your flustered state, he grinned, “But I think she’s very cute.”

Alice squealing in the backseat made Shiro’s smile grow in size. Sighing, he kept his eyes on the road and prayed that Alice wouldn’t say anything to you about it. He was debating on whether or not it was a good idea on telling his young daughter about his secret crush on the teacher.

———

It was not a good idea to tell Alice about his crush on you. The next morning Shiro woke Alice up and started their day by making her pancakes, then dressed in his uniform. After breakfast Alice was ready to go to school. Hopping into the car, Shiro quickly, but safely, drove them to the school, just like yesterday.

Once they were there, Shiro went to help Alice out of the car and walked her to your class, and that’s when Shiro regretted his life choices.

“Ms. (y/l/n)!” Alice quickly rushed over towards you, a gigantic smile on her face.

You leaned down, smiling as you greeted her. “Good morning, Alice. You seem excited.”

She nodded her head. “I need to tell you something, but you need to promise that you’ll keep it a secret!”

She held out her pinkie finger, and Shiro’s gut dropped to the floor. You laughed, entwining your pinkie with her’s. “Alright, what’s up?”

“My dad told me he has a crush on you.”

You raised an eyebrow, looking at the extremely embarrassed man behind her. “Is that so?”

She nodded her head. You smiled, patting her on the shoulder. “Why don’t you go and talk to the other students?”

Alice chirped in agreement, running off to see some of her friends. Standing back up, you crossed your arms, a smirk finding its way onto your face.

“So,” You started, “A crush, you say?”

He turned away from you, his face starting to heat up. “Yeah, you can ignore what she said.”

You tilted your head in confusion for a second, before walking over to your desk and scribbling something on a piece of paper. Tearing the piece off, you handed it to him, a smile on your face.

“Well Mr. Shirogane, I know that you’re a busy man, so I won’t keep you here. But when you want to tell me about your little ‘secret’, call me.”

With that, you walked over to the group of students, ushering them to their assigned seats. Shiro looked down at the tiny piece of paper, smiling at the numbers that stretched across it. Looking at you one last time, he walked out of the class, tucking the small paper into his uniform pocket.

He couldn’t wait until his shift was over.

Pt 17

(I need an editor. :/ i keep catching so many issues. Tbf i type this in mobile. Lol or just someone to talk about this with so i can plan. See, this is why writers like comments. Free editing/inspiration. Its how we get paid. This has taken days bc I can't figure my shit out on my own. So here's my best guess.)

(Definitely citrus. But I'm not going to be writing it out. Before, after, conversations around it, and implications of it happening)

Curtis walks him into the bathroom, fingertips occasionally bumping skin when Takashi catches up with him. Each brush of skin on skin makes his heart race faster. They pause for a while, just staring at each other. Faces flushed, breathing heavily, Curtis' fingers still hooked into the band of his pants.

Takashi leans in to kiss Curtis, stepping in closer. He's fine with just this. And kind of procrastinating. He's nervous that his body won't work. But Curtis said that worry was his. Putting his hand under Curtis' shirt, he'd like to pull it off. If he's allowed to. Then again if they're going to shower they'll have to strip down.

"Can I take this off?" Shiro asks softly.

"Can you?"

"Really? May I?"

Curtis cracks up. "That's not what I meant," he laughs helplessly, kissing the indignant expression off his partner's face. Soothing Takashi's ruffled feathers takes a few minutes. And quite a bit of kissing and gentle touching.

"I just meant 'can you do it one handed'"?

Already red, he laughs a little, too. "I don't know. I think so. D'you wanna find out?"

"I'm game."

It takes a little help from Curtis but Shiro manages. Shiro pauses a few minutes to enjoy the view, and do some kissing of his own. Curtis feels his heart rate accelerate and his breathing speed up, too.

Hooking his hands back into Takashi's waistband, "you ready? Can I take these off?"

"I dunno, can you?" He teases.

"May I?" Curtis laughs good naturedly. Then, a little more curious, "is that what you're into, or are you just getting me back?"

"Not into it, at all, just teasing." Shiro kisses him, no. He doesn't like that kind of stuff at all. Too much like dealing with the Galra.

Curtis pops open the snap of his pants, grinning as when Takashi gasps a little.

His pants slide down without much prompting. They used to be tight around his thighs but he's working out less. And eating less. And is sick a lot.

When Curtis hooks gentle fingers under the band of his underwear he can barely breathe. He half wishes they hadn't agreed to keep their hands off each other. Curtis isn't even an inch away from a much more interesting place to touch.

"How about this, too?" He says softly, eyes locked onto Takashi's. The other man's pupils are blown with desire, face flushed, his lips are slightly parted. Just waiting to be kissed. So Curtis does. He can't resist.

"That's fine," he mumbles eventually. He'd forgotten what was going on for a minute, he'd been so distracted. "Yeah. I don't need those."

Curtis helps him out of them, enjoying the excuse to slide his hands down the outside of his partner's thighs.

Shiro can barely breathe when Curtis' hands move down his legs. He can feel the other man's breath against his skin. His whole body quivers.

Pausing a moment to take in his partner, Curtis feels a pang when he takes in all the scars. Some look like they were caused by weapons. Others the whips ... Probably wrapping around from the back. And some.... Look a little too clean and neat to be anything other than surgical.

Noticing the way Curtis' eyes move, Shiro looks down and away, shoulders hunching a little. He flushes down to the top of his chest, ashamed. He's been somewhat disgusted by his own body for a while. It's been harder knowing it's not even the body he was born with.

"You're so beautiful," Curtis mumbles. "Look at you," he says softly, then realizes Takashi won't meet his gaze. Gently putting his fingertips under his chin, he tips his head up. "I mean it. You look amazing. Don't worry, I still love you for your brain, and personality. But this is a nice bonus."

His eyes water a little, but he blinks the tears away. And leans in to kiss Curtis on the cheek.

"Your turn," he says softly.

"You gonna help me or not, then?"

Shiro eagerly unbuttons Curtis' pants, helping him out of them. Then it's his turn to freeze and stare. He's used to the scars here and there on Curtis' arms but there's a few on his torso and legs. Shiro has a feeling if Curtis' skin wasn't so dark they'd be near invisible. He chokes a little, realizing he's forgotten to breathe because he was too busy staring.

Thankfully Curtis is too kind to laugh. Especially since he had a similar reaction. "How did I get this lucky?" He asks smugly. He's not expecting an answer but he grins when Takashi turns red.

Reaching back to turn the water on, he grimaces when it's cold. Figuring they have a minute, he steps in and wraps his arms around Takashi, holding him tightly and kissing all around his neck and jaw. He knows full well that Takashi is enjoying himself.

Reaching back to test the water, it feels right. "In you go," Curtis grins. "You still smell," he teases.

"You do, too, I was just raised right, so I wasn't gonna say anything." All the same he steps in, catching Curtis' hand to pull him in, too.

Curtis loves how Takashi looks with his hair soaked and plastered down. Smoothing it back, "want me to help wash your hair?"

"Sure," he mumbles. Kissing Curtis' neck and shoulders. He feels almost boneless when Curtis starts massaging his scalp.

"What is this shit?" He asks. "We're going shopping tomorrow. You can't seriously be using some kind of body wash shampoo combo?"

"I didn't feel like shopping. Too many decisions to make."

"Mm." Curtis starts kissing him again, rubbing the soap into his shoulders and over his chest. Shiro moans a little, and isn't too sure what to do.

He hasn't done this in years. What if he's forgotten how? It takes him a bit to realize that while Curtis is kissing him, only one hand is still on his body. He pulls back a hair to look down.

"What? Was I supposed to wait for you?" Curtis asks, voice breathy. "Don't worry, I won't leave you behind."

It's never been a thing for him to watch. He's never gotten off on that. He's much more hands on. But it helps to at least get a visual reminder of what he's supposed to do. After a minute or so, he focuses more on kissing Curtis and then figuring his own body back out.

If he can make it work, it's like he's taking some ownership of himself and his needs. Some responsibility for himself, too. Admitting he not only has these needs still, but that he's no longer so disgusted by himself that he can't. Curtis thinks he's beautiful. And that there's nothing undesirable about him. The Galra didn't take that, too.

Curtis smiles a little against Takashi's skin. The other man has more or less forgotten to keep kissing. He's too caught up in himself. He lays his head on Curtis' shoulder, breathing in little short gasps.

Curtis has never been much of a talker in these kinds of situations. He much prefers to hear his partner.

Starting to realize it's working, he feels heat curl low in his stomach. While he and Curtis aren't touching each other in that sense, it's comforting that they're still together in this. He can hear Curtis' breathing change, and that gets him. He feels like he's close but something just isn't happening. Maybe he's doing something wrong. Before doubt can settle in and ruin things, Curtis whispers something to him and he feels his knees practically buckle as his body gives over.

"I love you."

It takes him a second to even have a coherent thought, it happens so hard and so fast. "I love you, too," he mumbles, over and over against Curtis' skin, pressing kisses into his chest and neck, jaw and lips.

They cling together, the water beating down on both of them.

Curtis knows he's the only thing holding Takashi up for a few minutes, and he patiently waits until he seems to have fully settled. "We still need to get cleaned up."

Letting himself lean against Curtis he enjoys the sensation of the other man rubbing the washcloth over his skin.

At one point Shiro freezes, body rigid. He'd forgotten that was even a sensitive spot.

"Trauma or just hypersensitive?" Curtis asks, pulling his hand away.

"Both," he whispers. "Sorry. I didn't even think about it."

"It's okay. We'll talk about it."

"I probably have to show you," Shiro mumbles. "I can't really describe .... If you can't see..." He shrugs.

"Okay," he kisses the bridge of Takashi's nose gently. Then quickly runs the wash cloth over himself.

Turning the water off, he snags the towel and ruffles Takashi's hair with it. "You look exhausted," Curtis informs him. Drying off his arm, torso, and legs. Then he dries himself a little more thoroughly. Stepping out, "let me get that stuff from Colleen."

Going out he takes his whole bag, seeing as how he needs clothes and lotion, not just the one jar. Opening the muscle balm, it smells nice. Not quite floral. He holds it out to the other man who gives it a slight perfunctory sniff.

"Its purple," he says with some concern.

"That it is. Might go on clear."

"Hope so. I don't wanna be purple."

Curtis dips his fingertips in and works it into the muscle on top of his forearm. "Turns clear," he holds out his arm to show Takashi. It feels good, he notices. A little warm, but in a deep tissue way vs. the crappy menthol way. Flexing his fingers, his arm feels more relaxed. "Here hold out your arm," he demands.

Raising an eyebrow he does, not too sure what too expect. Then he lets his eyes close in pleasure as Curtis works the balm into his skin. Rubbing his arm all the way into his shoulder. Then his neck, and down his back. Sighing in relief, the warmth feels good and he enjoys the rundown.

"Your legs tight, too?"

"Yeah," he mumbles, swaying on his feet a little. The loose feeling coupled with the warmth and the orgasm has him barely conscious.

"I touch your legs you gonna freak?"

"Nah."

"You sure?" Curtis looks at him, lightly patting his hip to get his attention.

"Mostly sure. 98% sure?"

"Okay. Can you spread your legs a little?"

Shiro shifts his legs further apart so they're no longer touching. Curtis' strong fingers work the tension from first his thighs, then his calves. He feels completely boneless by the time the other man is done.

Looking up, he grins a little. The shorter man's eyes are closed and he's all but asleep on his feet. Curtis stands and quickly tugs on underwear. He'll put Takashi to bed and then finish dressing. "You awake?"

"Mostly."

"Hop a little when I tell you."

"Okay."

He bends a little, gripping behind Takashi's knees. "Now." Its easy to lift him, and he smiles as he feels legs automatically wrap around him.

"I can walk," Shiro protests sleepily. Leaning his head against Curtis' shoulder and snugging his arm around the other man's neck.

"You can. But I like this." Curtis turns his head to kiss the side of Takashi's. "Besides you're dead on your feet."

Easing him into bed is the work of a minute. When he tries to sit up, he sees Curtis already ransacking his drawers. It doesn't take long to find a soft shirt, underwear, and sweatpants. "Do you only own black and grey clothes?" When there's no answer he twists to look and his face softens. He's never seen Takashi look so peaceful when he's asleep.

Shaking his head a little, he gently shakes his shoulder. "You awake? I'm gonna get some clothes on you so you don't catch a chill." There's some sleepy grumbling as a response, and Curtis takes it as acknowledgement. When Takashi's pajamas are on he pulls up the blankets and heads back into the bathroom. Dressing quickly, he crawls into bed after, snuggling into his lover's arms. It's easier when Takashi is big spoon since he doesn't have an arm to trap or make numb.

Grinning some when Takashi snuggles up, wrapping his arm over Curtis' middle, Curtis eases back into him. It's not even past 19:30 hours and they're exhausted.

They sleep peacefully in each other's arms until morning.

For whatever reason I started thinking of a VLD Danny Phantom AU (ft some shancey shance)

Lance, Pidge, and Hunk are all best buds and one day they are over at Pidge’s house bc she is showing them the cool ghost portal that her parents built, but sadly it doesn’t work. Lance thinks it’s awesome and wants to go inside to check it out, Hunk doesn’t think it’s a good idea, but Pidge says “why not” and just tells him to make sure he’s wearing a protective suit.

So Lance goes in and runs his hands along the walls, accidently hits some buttons, and POW, the portal powers on and Lance “dies” and becomes a half ghost and also unconscious. Pidge and Hunk are freaking out, but thankfully Lance comes to shortly after and he feels fine, looks fine, acts fine, so they all think he’s fine and keep it a secret from Pidge’s folks that they were messing around with the portal.

Later that night, though, Lance starts experiencing some weird things. Like his fork falling out of (through???) his hand, how he doesn’t even remember opening his bedroom door, yet here he is in his bedroom (but of course he didn’t just walk through the door.... right...??? no just a lapse of memory or something)

These strange occurrences persist through the next morning and he’s freaking out, waiting for Pidge and Hunk so he can tell them about all this weird stuff and maybe they can find out what the heck is going on. Lance thinks he’s being haunted or something probably and says as much to his friends, but Pidge comes up with the theory that maybe he isn’t being haunted by a ghost but actually is a ghost... or at least part ghost. The two of them help Lance out through the day as they all try to figure it out and Pidge suggests they come over to her place after school and can use some of her parent’s ghost hunting equipment to find out more. Lance is hesitant because if he really is a ghost is it smart to go into a house of ghost hunters?? Pidge promises that everything will be fine, though and so that’s what they do.

Anyways, ghost Lance confirmed, Pidge and Hunk try to help Lance get control of his new powers and abilities and just try to continue on as normal.... except ever since the portal in Pidge’s basement was activated ghosts have been slipping into their town and so they somehow become a team of ghost hunters themselves?? That’s a thing and it goes on for awhile.

Cue Keith, the new kid who just moved to town and he notices all the strange paranormal activity and is extremely interested. He also notices the two kids in his class Pidge and Hunk, who are always around and they fight these ghosts??? He’s gotta get in on that!! If only it weren’t for that annoying boy Lance who’s always trying to rile Keith up.

SO Keith finds Pidge and Hunk.... and Lance... after the appearance of another ghost and tells them he wants to join their team. They’re all hesitant and Lance is especially adamant about refusing Keith because that would mean Keith would know about his secret and he doesn’t exactly get along well with the dude, but it’s not the best time and Lance is just like “FINE” before taking off so he can go transform somewhere hidden. Keith is confused and wonders what Lance is doing, he was never around before when Keith was observing these fights, so why would he even have any say in whether or not Keith tags along??

And then another ghost comes flying in and starts fighting the other ghost?? He looks to Pidge and Hunk and they don’t seem surprised, does this always happen?? Keith usually has to get out of the area when debris starts flying so he hasn’t actually stuck around for one of these fights before. The aggressor ghost goes down fairly quickly and... that’s it...? Hunk sucks it into the thermos looking device and Keith hasn’t noticed but the other ghost has left as well??? And then Lance is back and his friends are high fiving him and Keith is so confused??? Because Lance was no where to be found?

But then the team invites Keith back to Pidge’s place and that’s where they explain everything and oh, that was LANCE fighting the other ghost, that’s.... a little unbelievable... because if Lance is ghost why does he look so human?? And then they explain the whole accident bit and Keith still doesn’t understand, b but he gathers that none of them even understand the how’s of what happened and they leave it at that.

The four of them become a well oiled machine of a team and they’re better than ever before.

Things are good and they can all relax a little more, Lance starts paying more attention in school and to the people AT his school resulting in him taking notice of a v hot senior named Takashi Shirogane who mostly everyone just calls Shiro and Lance falls very hard and quick, Shiro is so kind and nice to everyone he sees. Lance knows he doesn’t stand a chance, especially with his secret, it’s bad enough Keith now knows (though he has been a very helpful addition to their little team), but Lance can’t risk anyone else knowing and he has a feeling that that part of his life would be too hard to keep a secret in a relationship.... not that he thinks Shiro would go for him ANYWAYS, but it helps him rationalize that it wouldn’t work even if Shiro did return his interest.

A few months following there’s a very powerful ghost giving Lance and team a run for their money, they can’t seem to take him down and Lance is getting his butt kicked. There are deaths. Two of those deaths are Shiro’s parents (and the loss of Shiro’s arm), Lance finds out a few days after they FINALLY take out the ghost. Lance hates seeing Shiro so down, such a happy friendly person should not look as miserable as Shiro does. Lance decides to approach Shiro and tell him how sorry he is and offers to be of any comfort he can to Shiro and Shiro is appreciative and thanks him.

In public Shiro is a miserable mess. In private, though, he’s angry and vengeful and he wants to destroy ALL ghosts, especially the ones who took his family away from him. Haggar, also a ghost unbeknownst to Shiro, offers Shiro a way to fulfill his wish. She fits him with proper ghost hunting equipment and a pretty fancy hoverboard and protective battle suit. He questions her motivations, but easily accepts her explanation of hating ghosts just as much as Shiro does and says Shiro is much more fitting to destroy ghosts than she is herself.

And so Shiro goes out, on the hunt for any ghosts that may cross his path. The main ghost he has in his sights is the one everyone calls Blue. He looks younger than most ghosts, has bright glowing blue eyes, white hair, and a pale tint to otherwise dark skin. This ghost is always seen at the scene of every ghost attack on the town, so Shiro seeks to make him the first ghost he destroys.

With the knowledge that he can get his vengeance, Shiro is more at ease. He falls back into his life and even starts talking to the cute boy Lance in his class. He’s noticed Lance’s not so secret glances in his direction before the incident with his parents and always assumed Lance was shy and that’s why he hadn’t approached Shiro before, but then when he offered a hand of comfort to Shiro, Shiro decided that if Lance was shy he would be the one to approach Lance himself. The two get close to one another quickly and start dating officially, they become very happy together and both unaware of the other’s secret.

Shiro starts showing up at every ghost sighting in hopes the ghost boy, Blue, will appear. He usually does, but Shiro waits to make his move. He observes Blue and how he appears to be fighting for good, always sucking the defeated ghosts up into a.... thermos? And Blue never sticks around long after. He also takes notes of the other three teens who he recognizes as Lance’s friends. He starts wondering why they are always there with Lance no where to be found. He’s frustrated about his lack of answers, but proceeds with coming up with a plan to trap and take down Blue.

Shiro’s plan involves luring Blue away from the sight of any eyes, including those of Pidge, Hunk, and Keith. Shiro manages to snare Blue with an enforced ghost hunting net and he’s yelling and screaming all his frustrations and his long held grudge against ghosts and Blue specifically and he can see how terrified Blue is and Shiro then decides to take off his mask. He wants Blue to see his face as he destroys him. 

Shiro does not expect the look of shock and the whisper of his name coming from Blue’s lips. It sounds so familiar and suddenly Blue is looking familiar, but it can’t be, right? This ghost is manipulating him like ghosts are known to be, but then Blue is saying Shiro’s name again and suddenly there’s a light and Blue is no longer trapped under Shiro’s net, but Lance is and Shiro KNOWS it’s really Lance because everything is slamming into place as if it’s been so obvious the whole time, but Shiro was so blind. Lance is Blue, Blue is Lance, he almost destroyed Blue. He almost killed his boyfriend.

Shiro is distraught and conflicted and he knows the two of them have to talk about this, but all he does instead is run, cutting the net before he takes off on his hoverboard, leaving Lance behind.

Shiro stops going to school, avoiding Lance and trying to sort through... everything... all his time spent hunting his own boyfriend and he didn’t even know. The fact that he didn’t know should make him feel better about it, but it only makes him feel worse. 

Everything is vague after this point, but eventually they DO resolve things and Shiro joins the team and they end up fighting and taking down Haggar or something who is a v powerful ghost who basically control lots of other ghosts?? Or something, ghost army probably, I’m not sure.

(pssst, feel free to talk to me about this bc I love the idea a lot)

Shance - Little notes.

Just imagine Lance liking Shiro so much and wanting to cheer him up bc he sees how stressed the older one is. So he decided to leave some notes with cheering words on them.

But the thing is he is so damn embarrassed that he wrote them in Spanish because he wants to cheer Shiro but he can't help the embarrassment that comes with the idea of his hero reading some cheesy notes. And obviously Shiro doesn't understand a single word in the notes, recognizing the simple handwriting of Lance and thinking this is some kind of weird joke he isn't aware of.

He's curious about the meaning anyway. Though Lance never talked in Spanish, the notes were in the same language, and that's weird. What do they even say? Something good? Something bad? Is he supposed to translate them somehow?

But they're in war, and there's been a LOT going on. Shiro forgets the notes, hidden in the Black Lion storage, and tries to keep his focus on the situation ahead. The notes that were every morning at his door also stopped appearing. Maybe it was a good thing. This little mystery game they had was a distraction from more important things.

Then they get home.

Sure, they had to fight to push off the Galra from Earth, but they made it. This is it, finally at home. In the beginning of the execution of the big comeback, Lance is having some trouble with the Galra ships, not being able to even reach his Lion. Shiro has the biggest heart attack even when Lance stops responding, and his mind can't help but think about all the times Lance looked at him with shining eyes and a sweet smile. How he laughed, joked and was the light of the room with his bright smile. And then he remembered the notes and noticed how little attention he payed to Lance. He unfair to him, a young boy who did nothing wrong and always tried his best to just be there for them.

And he was so scared of losing him. Of not being able of hearing his sweet voice. Or seeing those deep blue eyes.

Then Lance started talking again and his soul was back in his body. Lance was fine, alive, breathing. But he couldn't focus, one single though invading his mind:

He had to fix this somehow.

They won. Sendak is finally dead.

It was like a dream come true.

A month later, the team was fully recovered and enjoying their home planet again. Shiro finally could feel that it was the moment to relax a little more, he had a lot of tirenedess accumulated. So he went to the Black Lion, even if he was no longer his pilot, the connection was still there, as strong as ever. The Lion, feeling the determination of his ex paladin, allowed him to enter. Shiro could practically feel the hype building up when he found the notes still in the same spot, mentally thanking Keith for being so uninsterested in exploring the Lion.

In less than 15 minutes, he got a small translator device from a young Garrison engineer (now that is full of alien species, translators are a must have for everyone) and was back in his room. Slowly, one by one he translated the words from the notes.

At first, the older ones were very short and simple.

'You're great'

'You can make it'

'Take a break'

'You're the best'

He laughed, the image of a very embarrassed Lance writing these very awkward words appeared in his mind.

The next ones were more strong and sweet.

'You're amazing! Never forget that!'

'The universe is lucky to have you!'

And, of course, some of them had a couple of puns, because we're talking about Lance and he just can't help it. Even small drawings of him or stars and planets. The older ones were next, and they took his breath away.

'You make me wanna be a better person everyday.'

'You are my hero, and the best leader I could have.'

'I hope you think I am importan, because you're the universe to me.'

'You're so great and talented, I'm lucky I get to be in the same team as you.'

Shiro was very confused, he didn't understand why there was such a mood change. He could practically feel how big Lance's appreciation and respect for him were in these notes. Damn, he was such an idiot for not noticing before. So focused in a cruel thing like war made him forget these kind of sweet things in his life.

There was still a letter left. But hee could read it later, he needed to see Lance. Now.

In a blink he was in front of Lance's dorm, though it wasn't very far from his. Feeling strangely nervous, he knocked the door. The door opened and Lance was there, in full glory. The marks of the battle were gone, and his (probably smooth) skin was shiny and healthy. The smaller boy smiled, curious, and before he could greet him, Shiro raised his hand with the notes.

Lance mount stayed open, recognizing them.

Was that a good or bad signal?

He saw how the other boy blushed, getting nervous immediately and avoiding his gaze.

'S-so you read them, right?'

'Yeah, I used a translator I got around here.'

'Oh...um...do you like them? I know they're a little weird'

Shiro smiled. This was the first time he saw how cute Lance was when embarrassed. Wait, he shouldn't think that of his teammate, not now, scratch that.

'I do, you're a great person, Lance. I'm very thankful for these notes.'

Lance watched him surprised, like he didn't expect him to say that, but then he avoided his gaze again.

'Cool. Um, about the last one, I have the missing note that continues the message.'

'Actually, I didn't read the last one, would you mind if I you read it for me? It's kind of a bummer to use this boring translator' he joked

Lance seemed like he was having an internal crisis of some kind, because he bited his lip and frowned. But then he smiled again casually, and nodded.

'Sure thing, come in, make yourself comfortable in uh, my room?'

Shiro chuckled a little and decided to sit at the bed. Lance was still up, holding the notes Shiro handled him, opening them slowly. With his voice slightly trembling, he started to read.

'I think It's about time I tell you something important. We have been in space a long time, and I don't wanna regret not telling you the truth. When the time is right, I'll give you the next note.'

Oh... That sounded... Very serious. Now Shiro didn't know what to think. Maybe Lance hated him because he never acknowledged his efforts, or because he kind of ignored his notes. The idea of Lance hating him made his heart ache with pain. He was getting so anxious he didn't even hear the sound of Lance opening the next note.

The voice of the smaller boy interrupted his thoughts.

'Alright... I'm going to read the next one. Shiro?'

'Yes?'

Lance blushed even more , those stunning blue eyes staring at him.

'Please don't freak out.'

... What? Why would he freak out to Lance? This was getting more and more strange.

'For the last few notes I've been trying to encourage you. I don't know what drive me to do it, I saw you one night looking at the stars and you seemed 10 years older and so tired. I had to do something. And even If it was a bit weird, and I knew you couldn't understand them because my dumbass brain decided to write them in Spanish, the warm feeling in my chest wouldn't go away. So I thought about it, a lot. About how much I worry about you, how much I want to show you how good I am, how much I want to spend time with you. Then I realized that you're not jusy my leader... '

Shiro's eyes widened.

'You're not just my hero either...'

Then Lance smiled, embarrassed.

'You're my everything. I like you, Takashi.'

'You... You what?!?'

Shiro couldn't believe this. He was so happy. But he shouldn't. This was Lance, his teammate, his companion. And he was just Shiro, broken after all what happened. Old and broken.

'I know it's... Disgusting that I like you... But say something, please, I'm like having a breakdown here.' Lance tried to joke, though he was crying and his voice sounded weird.

Then Shiro snapped out of his dark thoughts and really, REALLY looked at him. Lance, looking at the ground, the blue eyes full of tears. The face red, the lip bleeding a little, the hands holding his jacket with force. Then Lance looked at him too. And in their eyes the connection felt strong. So damn strong. And the warm in his heart burned. He just could feel the need. The ache of looking and Lance like this and doing nthing.

'But need of what? ' his mind asked.

'Need of Lance.' his heart supplied.

And after all what happened. The Kerberos mission. The kidnap. The arena. The lions. The war against the Galra. Zarkon. Sendak. Lotor. Haggar.

He deserves this. And Lance deserved it too.

So in half a second he's hugging Lance. It just takes another second before he can feel the warm arm returning the hug. He started petting his brown hair slowly, feeling the smooth hair. And Lance was sobbing, and laughing, and making some weird noise in between . Shiro laughed loudly, still petting his hair. And enjoying every little thing about him. His soft hair with a vanilla scent was like heaven to Shiro's hands, and he buried his head in the younger boy's neck.

The notes lied on the floor forgotten while the two of them just enjoyed the other one with small and sweet touches of affection. When Lance moved a little and kissed him in the forehead, he couldn't stop the tears, feeling the love of the other one in that small gesture, it was almost intoxicating. He didn't know how much he needed this, he needed him, his warmth, his freshness. These small things that made Lance so perfect.

For the first time in a long time, Shiro was feeling so fresh and alive. Like every piece was finally at the right place. It's okay now. Everything will be alright. Because he had the universe in his arms.

[flipping-voltron-imagines]

A/N: For that one anon who asked for the paladins + their s/o being into marine bio. This ask was so much fun to do!! I was legit working on another one at the time (and struggling quite a bit, lmao) when Alyssa texted me like, “Hey I got you this really cool ask about marine bio” and I legit dropped EVERYTHING and got this out in record time. Marine biology is what I’m currenlty leaning towards as my major, so this was really exciting for me. :’D Anyway, I hope you like it! ~ Duncan/Dani

Paladins + s/o who’s into marine bio

Lance

Before he and his s/o started dating he had the biggest crush on them and he would try to say all the scientific names just to impress them

He ended up horrendously butchering them 99% of the time

“Ooh! Ooh! It’s a amphibian!” “You...you mean amphiprioninae?”

Gets really excited about sharks in particular and loves asking his s/o questions about them

His s/o works at an aquarium, and they often send him pics of their resident shark

S/o: *sends a blurry pic of the shark* “Here’s Bruce during his feeding today!!”

Lance: “I WOULD DIE FOR BRUCE”

He’s super impressed by their knowledge and constantly brags about it to anyone who’ll listen

He loves listening to his s/o working w/ animals like seals and dolphins bc they totally start doing baby talk and it’s adorable to listen to

Pidge

Technology’s more her thing, but she’s still 100% supportive of her s/o and will use her tech skills to quickly look up answers her s/o needs

She creates a sort of Alexa-like device but only for marine bio so that when she’s busy her s/o has someone to ask for help/advice

She can actually pronounce the names of the species her s/o works with

One time when her s/o was having a bad day she hacked into the security cams of an aquarium and put the feed on the TV for them

They both forgot about it eventually and so now they have a 24/7 aquarium channel on their TV

She also once shut down SeaWorld’s website bc her s/o absolutely despises the way they treat their animals

It was back up within a few days, but the look on her s/o’s face when it went down was the best thing Pidge had ever seen

Keith

Honestly probably the second most proud, after Lance

Can’t remember half the names, but he tries his best

Usually just tries to remember their more commonly-used names

“Oh! Oh! It’s an amphiprioninae!” “Why can’t you just say clownfish like the rest of us”

Will fight anyone who disses marine bio, even if the diss has nothing to do with his s/o bc he’s just that supportive

Someone: “Marine biology sUCKS”

Keith, already vaulting over a table: “YOU WANNA FREAKING GO”

He once bought his s/o a stuffed sea lion as a birthday gift and now is lowkey jealous bc they cuddle up w/ it more than him

Shiro

Very supportive of his s/o even if he doesn’t have a lot of knowledge of marine life

As soon as they get home from work Shiro asks them how their day went and will just get lost in hearing his s/o excitedly babble about their work

He’s not a fan of snorkeling but whenever his s/o drags him down to the water he goes w/ them just to see their face light up whenever they spot any fish

The very first time his s/o saw a fish while snorkeling they gasped and ended up accidentally inhaling a bunch of water and nearly choking

He never lets them live this down

Put together and decorated a huge fish tank for his s/o to fill with fish as a surprise once

Hunk

Is extremely terrified of the ocean and is entirely convinced his s/o is going to stumble upon some deep sea eldritch monstrosity and trigger the apocalypse

“You’re not gonna go into the deep sea, right???” “No, Hunk” “Ok, but if you see ANYTHING bigger than three feet, COME HOME IMMEDIATELY” “Hunk I work in an aquarium”

Despite his fears he supports his s/o wholeheartedly

He likes to buy tickets and go to the aquarium while his s/o is working just to listen to them explain things to people

He loves watching them teach children bc they tend to get very expressive and excited

Allura

Is very confused (but still fascinated) by the diversity of marine life

Will ask her s/o all kinds of questions about marine life

Tends to get the names mixed up

*points at a dolphin* “Look, [s/o’s name]! A clownfish!”

Like Hunk, she often visits her s/o at the aquarium, but she mostly goes to help further her understanding of marine life so she can better understand her s/o’s work

Coran

Is utterly fascinated by marine life and its diversity

He initially assumes all marine creatures are sentient and spends hours trying to have one-sided conversations with them

He’s surprisingly really good at memorizing the scientific names of each species

He likes to go snorkeling w/ his s/o and they usually compete to see who can identify the most fish

Matt

He thinks his s/o is the coolest person ever and is completely excited by them being a marine biologist

He likes to help them keep their skills sharp and will quiz them about various marine bio related topics

He and his s/o can waste hours watching documentaries about marine life together

Loves hearing his s/o rant or babble about their work
