[In the metallic hallways of the Castle Of Lions, Y/N, Coran, and Lance walking through together as Lance keeps on asking Coran several questions about Alteans with a smirk and a raise brow]
Lance : Sooo–what about the Altean garments? What kind of... fabric do they love to wear?~
[Y/N is in the middle space between the two of them. He stares at Lance with a deadpan expression, knowing well what he's trying to do. Coran places a hand on his chest dramatically]
Coran : The Alteans, including yours truly of course~–adores soft and silky garments, it's a main theme to wear when it comes to ceremonies and from time to time, even during meetings. My Pop-Pop Wimbleton once owned a bright, soft, and green garment that would always attract the ladies~✨
[Y/N turns his head at Coran in curiosity]
M!Reader : Huh, what happened to it?
[Coran's shiny demeanour immediately falters, his eyes widening. He coughs into his hand with his eyes closed]
Coran : He–uhh... Shouldn't have eaten a lot of those Altean Lava Root Stew...
[Y/N stays silent for a few seconds, taking in Coran's words... he squint his eyes when it kicked in–Lance closes his eyes, still smirking, and holds his chin with his fingers]
M!Reader : Wait... What does that mean–
Lance : Interesting. And, would that imply... What type of people they... like like?~ maybe that means a soft boy perhaps?~–WOAH! HEY!!
Coran : Hm?– Hey—Excuse me!!
[Hunk casually walks up to Lance and drags him towards the opposite direction of the hallway. Hunk then grabs Coran's collar from behind, also dragging him]
Hunk : Lance, Coran–I uhh—need you guys for something!! Something... Something something–IMPORTANT, yeah, something important!
[Coran closes his eyes and casually smacks Hunk's hand, earning a little "Ow" from him, which makes Hunk let go. Coran stands back up, now facing Hunk, who is still holding Lance... He's holding his head like a trophy while Lance struggles his hands on Hunk's forearm–
Coran : No can do. Me and the princess have some fixing up to do with the castleship. She insisted her space mice can do the work considering it's just a minor error, but I am not letting those little things take my job...
M!Reader : Pretty sure the mice doesn't have any intention to do that, Coran...
[Coran squints his eyes and holds onto his waists with both hands]
Coran : They know what they're doing... Wait a tick–
[Coran pulls out a ticker from his pocket. His eyes instantly widen, seeing that he is exactly 10 ticks late]
Coran : Quiznak! I'm ten ticks late, I gotta go! I am NOT letting those smug mice one up me!
[Coran instantly runs, fast enough to create a little wind impact that blows Lance, Hunk, and Y/N's hair. All three of them stare at Coran's sudden speed]
M!Reader : ...When he said "Shouldn't have eaten a lot of those Altean Lava Root Stew" did he mean his Pop Pop spilled the soup on the garment or did his pop pop–.... You know what, I'd rather it be a mystery—
[Y/N turns his head back to the main topic, folding his arms]
M!Reader : Anyway, something going on Hunk? I can fill in for Coran if it's serious–
Hunk : No!–I mean, no as in, I'm grateful that you offer to help but what Lance is needed for is what I have said before Important! Yep, very important!
Lance : But do you have to drag me!
M!Reader : Yeah, we all know Lance looks like a Ken doll but that doesn't mean he should be treated like an actual doll
Lance : Thank you, Y/N! See, now is that so–....Hey!!
Lance : Wait wait–! I just got my hair brushed and the wind will ruin all of my hardwork!
[Without warning, Hunk instantly runs down the hallway at a speed. When he's about to run around the corner, his momentum even makes Lance float in the air behind him for a few seconds]
[Y/N just stands there awkwardly in silent for a few seconds]
M!Reader : ...I'm gonna check on Kaltenecker, she listens to me...
[Pidge walks up to the metal sliding door of the Castle of Lions, leading to the room where she told Hunk to meet up. Standing in front of the door, Pidge sighs before opening it and walking in]
Pidge : Alright Hunk, I'm here. Exactly on time. The Green Lion function is stabilised, which means I have time to—
[Hunk gives an awkward little wave along with an awkward smile]
[Pidge blinks, looking disbelief. She's seeing the room legitimately almost looks empty due to the fact they're only two people]
Pidge : ...Where is everyone?
[Hunk scratches his cheek]
Hunk : Yeah about that...
Pidge : I told you to bring anyone that was available...
Pidge : What do you mean you did–You brought Lance!
[Pidge gestures her hand directly at Lance, who makes an offended expression. Lance immediately throws both of his arms up into the air]
Lance : Hey! I have feelings, you know! And right now, my feelings are hurt because Hunk just dragged me through the castle like a sack of space potatoes!
[Pidge slowly tilts her head at Hunk, glaring at him with a scary smile on her face. Hunk raises a hand in defense, sweating bullets from Pidge's stare]
Hunk : Pidge, Pidge, listen! I swear I tried! You told me a few hours ago to bring anyone who was available, right? Anyone trustworthy! But Shiro is in the training deck, I called Keith but he said he's still currently busy with his Blade of Mermosa missions, Allura is busy with the castle, and Coran just sprinted down the hall at Mach 5 because he's having a silent war with the space mice!
Lance : Like... really sprinted
[Pidge pinches the bridge of her nose, letting out a heavy, long sigh]
Pidge : Okay, fine. I can work with this...
[Lance raises his eyebrow]
[Lance asks, his gossiping instincts instantly goes up. He leans forward, crossing his legs, and resting his chin on his hand with a smug grin]
Lance : Oho, is this a secret? A big secret~ OH– Did you finally manage to hack into the galra surveillance? We can put it as a Livestream in the control room!
Hunk : To hear what they're planning?
Lance : ...I was thinking more as a show–But yeah, that too!
[Pidge stares at them with her eyes squint and mouth shut in irritation]
Lance : Then what is it? Come on, tell us, Me and Hunk are open booooks~✨
[Pidge looks at Hunk, who is giving her an encouraging but nervous nod. She takes a deep breath, presses her hands together in front of her mouth. A small, uncharacteristic dust of red begins to appear on her cheeks, spreading across the bridge of her nose]
[Pidge leans down her pressed hands forward]
Pidge blushing : ...I need to talk about Y/N
[Lance and Hunk stare at her in curiosity]
Lance : Y/N? What about him? ...Oh no–did he play our killbot phantasm 1: journey to the depths of the demonsphere again?! I told him if he wanted to play, he needed permission from us first! ...Okay yes, he did well–but I'm not risking it again!
Pidge : Not that, it's... Complicated
[Lance stops talking. Him and Hunk give each other a look before paying their attention back to Pidge]
Hunk : ...Wow, it is so weird to hear the sentence "It's complicated" coming from you
Pidge : He... From time to time, can my internal function go hayware...
Hunk and Lance blink at the same time.
Pidge : He makes my logic freeze...
Hunk and Lance blink at the same time.
Pidge : He makes my brain loopy...
Hunk and Lance blink at the same time.
Pidge : He can disrupt my thinking process...
Hunk and Lance blink at the same time.
[Hunk thinks for a few seconds... DING!💡]
Lance : Hunk, translate this in normal earthlings please...
Hunk : Pidge sees Y/N, the way you see Allura...
[Pidge stands there awkwardly with both her hands clenching next to each side of her waist. Her eyes close in a bit of embarrassment]
Pidge : So I'd want you two to–
Lance : Wow, all of us called it!
Pidge : Yeah yeah, you–....
[Pidge opens her eyes and stares at Lance while he's staring at Hunk]
Pidge : What do you mean "All of us"?
Lance : I mean, even Keith had a feeling about it–KEITH, oh man when we tell the others–
Pidge : Wait–Since when have you all thought of this?!
Lance : Wellll–Coran and Allura thought you two were a thing when we left Arus, Shiro once asked if there was something going on between you two, and Keith once commented about how you two are always together–
Lance : Pftt–Well yeah, because we both already had a feeling about these two when we were still on earth.
[Lance stares back at Pidge with a smirk]
Lance : So come on, lay it on us, do you already have some ways to confess you're feeling? because I have some ideas~–
Pidge : Sighs, Lance, I'm not going to confess my feelings right away, I'm just gonna ask him to go eat together...
Lance : ....Okay but, can you even do that—
Pidge : ....OF COURSE I CAN'T, THAT'S WHY I CALLED FOR THIS MEETING—
Lance : Woah okay, calm down! You gotta relaxxxx~ sure, "The Princess", "Moustache", "Space dad", and "Emo" aren't here–But you got something even better! Lance McClain, loverboy of the galaxy, has several ideas on how you can–
Pidge : I'm not letting you help me...
[Lance pauses from her comment. In an instant, he immediately gasps, clutching his chest dramatically as if he had just been physically struck]
Lance : Excuse me?! You’re turning down the expertise of flirt? The master of romance? The guy who practically wrote the manual on charm?
Pidge : Yes, because your "manual" has a 100% failure rate with the princess, and I actually want Y/N to say yes, not file for a restraining order... Wait, does space have that–
[Hunk casually walks up to Lance and sits down next to him]
Hunk : Pidge... does have a point there, buddy. I mean, remember the time you tried to wink at that alien merchant and accidentally got us banned from the market because they thought it was a threat gesture?
Lance : That was a cultural misunderstanding! How was I supposed to know that!
Pidge : I don't need "charm" or whatever weird pickup lines you use on people, Lance! I just need to know how to do this! Every time Y/N walks into the lab, my heart rate spikes, and yesterday I literally handed him a soldering iron by the hot end!
Lance : ...Ooooh–so that's the scream I heard
Hunk : Aw, Pidge. That is honestly both terrifying and really, really sweet. But look, you don't need to do anything crazy. Y/N is a great guy. He already spends practically all his free time with you anyway!
Lance : Yeah, no one likes hearing mathematical coding that much!
Hunk : Lance is right, Pidge... Y/N likes you for you. You don't need to put on a big show. How about something simple? Next time you two are working late, just say, "Hey, I'm kind of hungry, want to grab some food?"
Lance : Yes! Though, if you want to spice it up, I highly recommend throwing in a casual hair flip and saying it in a slightly deeper voice—
Pidge : No. Hunk, you're gonna help me...
[Pidge, Hunk, and Lance stand precisely behind the corner, their backs press tightly against the metal wall and are sticking their palms onto them. The three of them peek around the corner, their heads stack on top of each other like in 90's sitcoms as they see Y/N, who is trying to use the datapad in the hallway]
[All of their heads retreat, back to their position. Pidge then stares at Hunk]
Pidge : Hunk, are you positive you know what you're doing?
Hunk : I've watched and read some romantic shows and novels here and there, I think there's a chance! But–Well, I wouldn't say 100%
Lance : I'm just saying, my plan doesn't say "there's a chance" it says "it WILL work" just saying–
Pidge : Again, no. Remember the plan?
Hunk : You walk around the corner exactly close to us, but not too close for Y/N to see us, you then lean your hand against the wall, and I'll whisper what you have to say–got it!
M!Reader : Ugh, I swear this thing is broken... Wait–what's this button?
[Without warning, the datapad starts making a loud BEE-BEEP that echoes through the quiet hallway. Y/N jumps slightly, nearly dropping the device before catching it in mid air]
M!Reader : Whoa! Okay, note to self, do not press the glowing red triangle...
[Pidge takes a breath, fixes her glasses, and takes three robotic steps around the corner. She slams her hand onto the metal wall to lean casually—except she hits it a bit too hard, making a loud CLANG]
[Y/N blinks, snapping his head up from the datapad]
[Pidge's face turns red but she stays glued to the spot with a nervous smirk. Behind the wall, Hunk leans down closely, his mouth just inches away from the edge of the corner, whispering]
Hunk : "Fancy seeing you here, stranger"
Pidge : Fancy seeing you here, stranger...
M!Reader : ...Stranger? Pidge, we ate food goo at the same table half an hour ago?
Hunk : "Oh sorry, it seems the beautiful energy radiating from you just made me lose focus"
Pidge : Oh sorry, it seems the beautiful energy radiating from you just made me lose my eyesight...
Hunk : Now adjust your glasses up and down
[Pidge does so, making her words and the gesture connect with each other. A slight pinch of blush appears on Y/N's face. He can't help but chuckle]
M!Reader : ...Pftt–Chuckles, wow, calm down there brainiac. What's this about?
[Y/N smiles, the sudden flirt coming from her is certainly new, he would be lying if he says that wasn't smooth]
Hunk : "If possible, I want it all to be about you. After all, I love hearing sounds coming out from you"
Pidge : If possible, I want to make it all about you. After all, I love hearing sounds coming out from you
M!Reader blushing : Woah...
Hunk : Last one, time to seal the deal!
[Next to Hunk, Lance leans in a bit, he sees the new alarm device Coran recently just made, sticking on the ceiling behind Y/N... Lance is about to laugh cause he just got something in mind–
[Hunk is about to tell Pidge the last line. The last line of course, asking Y/N to go eat together later]
[Lance places a hand onto Hunk's mouth, covering it. Lance let out a tiny chuckle before saying–
Lance : "I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the new Alarm"
Pidge : I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the new Alarm–....
[Y/N stares up behind and sees the Alarm Coran recently just made. He stares back at Pidge, he's embarrassed and genuinely confused. Pidge, of course, is feeling the exact same thing]
M!Reader blushing : Ah...?
Pidge blushing : Wait wait–!! What I-i meant to say is–
[Meanwhile, Hunk is repeatedly punching Lance's shoulder with an irritated look on his face while Lance softly and quietly laughs hysterically, eyes closed with a few tears coming out and a smile]
Lance : I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You were talking about all that energy and hearing sounds coming out of it–i just can't help myself!—
Pidge blushing : Yeah, totally! Cool! coolcoolcool–
[Lance and Hunk stops and peeks their heads out, only to see Pidge and Y/N waving at each other as Y/N walks the opposite direction of the hallway, he has a wide smile on his face and is blushing]
[Pidge turns around, a blush on her face. Her expression is somehow a mix potion of nervousness, conflict, extreme satisfaction, and one that speaks "Oh my quiznak, I just did it..." But nonetheless, she's smiling]
[Lance and Hunk comes out of the corner after Y/N fully leaves, extremely anticipated]
Pidge blushing : He said yes...
[Lance and Hunk stay silent for a few seconds before happily congratulating her. Hunk immediately suggests what he should make for them while Lance nodding approvingly with his eyes closed that says "Not bad, kid"]
Pidge : As happy as I am right now, i'm gonna go and corrupt Lance’s Killbot Phantasm save file now...
[Pidge just slowly walks away while Lance is still nodding... Until what Pidge just says kick into his brain–
Lance : WAIT WAIT! IT WORKED DIDN'T IT!–
