Question for both pidge and keith: How did you families/team react to your relationship? Got any good reactions from them?
(sorry I'm taking long to answer your asks, I've been busy these last days :'). )
Pidge: Oh, so many. Honestly, the reactions were hilarious. My family was a little skeptical at first, mostly because Keith is older. I mean, we only started dating when I turned 20, but he was already 25, so... yeah. That age gap kind of made them blink.
But once they saw how we worked together, how much he cared about me, they came around real fast. Now he's basically an honorary Holt.
My mom? She started knitting him Christmas sweaters and gets all smiley when I bring him home. My dad calls him “son” and even took him fishing a few times.
Keith: Your mom’s really serious about those sweaters...
Pidge: She is... She even collects photos of us and keeps them in a “wedding album.” Her words, not mine.
Oh, and Matt, he was super skeptical at first. You know, classic overprotective older sibling energy. But now? They literally go to the gym together. Once, at a party, Matt got drunk and threw an arm around Keith’s shoulder, gave this big emotional speech like, “I’m glad you’re my brother, man.”
I recorded it. Obviously.
Keith: Yeah... I remember.
Keith: Your family’s amazing, honestly. I didn’t expect to feel so... welcomed.
As for my family, my mom hugged Pidge the moment she learned about us. Like, full on picked her up and everything. Then she said she already knew I had feelings for her, even though I’d never told anyone. And then she told Pidge to call her “mom.”
Keith: It was embarrassing.
Pidge: Keith, it was adorable. Accept the love.
Keith: ...Whatever you say, Kate’.
Pidge: As for our friends... okay, Lance didn’t see it coming. At all. His reaction was priceless. He made us sit down and gave us an actual questionnaire because apparently, he’s a “love expert” and always knows when people are gonna end up together.
Keith: He was so confused. Then he got all sentimental. Told me to treat Katie right, gave her a huge hug, then handed us drinks... and then said, “Wait. Are you sure you’re not pregnant? Because with you two? Anything’s possible.”
Pidge: I cried laughing. Honestly, it was a very Lance reaction.
Keith: Hunk was a lot calmer. He said he kind of always suspected something was going on between us... And then he got emotional. You could see it hit him how happy he was for us.
Pidge: Yeah, he said something like, “I knew it... and I still wasn’t ready for how cute this is.”
Keith: And Shiro... he didn’t say much. But he didn’t have to. He just smiled... That quiet, proud kind of smile, put a hand on my shoulder, and said, “I’m really happy for you two. You deserve this.”
Pidge: And then there was Coran...
He had about a million questions. “Do human courtships always begin with bickering? Do you share food? Do you bond with each other’s socks?”... classic Coran stuff.
Then he started talking about Galra traditions and asking if we ever do anything “culturally Galra” because of Keith...
Keith: I didn’t even know what that meant.
Pidge: And then he got emotional and kept saying how Allura would be happy for us.
And I quote: “You two will have a beautiful litter of children.”
Keith: ...I still don’t know how to respond to that.
