Allura took another sip of her hibiscus tea and she couldn’t help but close her eyes in delight as the hot drink coated her tongue in liquid gold. She often didn’t dine at this cafe because it was ridiculously overpriced and the clientele was always so pretentious. However, today she made an exception because it was her father’s turn to choose their destination for their weekly luncheon. As much as she disliked this cafe’s uptight demeanor, she had to give them credit for having one of the best tea selections in the city.
She listened eagerly to her father’s weekly report of their family company, Voltron Tech, and asked questions whenever she saw fit. Even though she gave her father the attention she knew he deserved, she couldn’t stop her mind from wandering off. Her perfectly manicured nails danced on the edge of the porcelain cup, creating a song only she knew the lyrics to and her eyes constantly shifted to her watch to check the time.
It had only been 5 minutes that went by after their agreed meeting time but, “Where is he?” she asked herself. She wasn’t annoyed by his tardiness but it was unlike Shiro to run late without telling her first. Out of the two of them, he was always the punctual one.
“Is there something on your mind, Allura?” her father asked her suddenly. When she came back to reality, her father had already received his second cup of coffee. He watched her through his thin-rimmed glasses as he poured in his milk then stirred in just the right amount of sugar.
She felt embarrassment rush over her at being caught daydreaming. “No, it’s nothing, Father,” she assured him and she looked over the lunch menu in a useless attempt to distract him. Allura herself was extremely observant but she was nothing compared to her father. He sees the things in people they don’t see themselves and Allura was no exception. She was his daughter, heir to a tech empire, and trained from birth. He definitely knew something that something was up with her.
Nevertheless, he gave her the chance to speak up before he did. He took a sip of his coffee before he responded. “Are you sure?” he pushed.
She gave a short nod, something she always did when she told him a lie. “Positive.” She read through the expensive French dishes with little to no effort, but at the moment, she wanted nothing more than to enjoy a burger from the shady restaurant on the corner of Richmond and Kirby.
He made an undecipherable sound, one that walked the line between contentment and amusement. He ordered another coffee – black, from the waiter, told him to make it to-go. He looked over the menu as if it were a newspaper. “It’s unusual for Shiro to be the one running late, is it not?” he said casually without looking up at her.
She was a fool for thinking she could mislead her father. She rolled her eyes and sat back with her arms folded over her chest. “It would seem so,” she responded dryly and Alfor laughed at her display. She always hated it when he told her exactly what was wrong with her before she could admit it herself.
The waiter came back his requested coffee in a fancy to-go cup. Alfor thanked the young server and took the coffee away.
With her arms still folded, Allura raised a brow in confusion. “Why do you need two cups of coffee?”
As soon as she asked the question, she heard the familiar rev of a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic. Her eyes lit up and a smile split her face at the sound. She whipped her head around just in time to see her boyfriend turning the corner before he pulled up in front of the posh cafe.
Allura turned her head towards her father and eyed the coffee that was packaged for travel. “She narrowed her eyes at him. You knew.”
He grinned. “He texted me about 15 minutes ago informing that he wasn’t going to be able to stay for lunch.”
“He texted you but not me?” she said in disbelief. “I’m his girlfriend!”
“Maybe he wanted to tell you personally?” He hinted towards Shiro who was standing just outside the cafe and gesturing for her to come to talk to him outside. “Or maybe, here’s a suggestion, maybe he likes me more than he likes you?” He chuckled when she stuck her tongue out at him.
“You’re insufferable,” she said through a smile as she stood from the table.
She took the hot coffee from the table and walked out to meet her boyfriend. She couldn’t help but feel the thrill of the attention. All eyes were on her as she approached Shiro. By no means did they look like they were from the same social circle. She was an heiress, practically a princess. She attended all of the parties hosted by only the city’s wealthiest and, to her disdain, also the snootiest.
And he was…he was her exact opposite. Clad in all black and full of piercings, he was made of muscle and he stood 6’2”, with a scar over the bridge of his nose wearing boots that haven’t been cleaned in days.
And he was hers. Just as much as she was his.
She suppressed a giggle when she heard whispers as she walked towards the door. She absolutely loved the attention she got when she defied society’s expectations of what it took to live like the upper class.
She walked out of the cafe where she came face to face with Shiro. She wanted so badly to be mad at him for not telling her he wasn’t going to stay for lunch, but as soon as she looked into his kind, steely eyes, the words die on her tongue. Instead, she offered him his coffee with a smile. “You’re late, Shirogane.”
He gave her a boyish grin. The same one that she fell in love with the first time she met him and one that will forever be her favorite part of him. He took a step forward and gave her a chaste kiss to lips as a greeting. Deep down, Allura hoped the woman who sent her food back three times fainted at the sight.
“I know I’m late and I’m sorry babe, but…” he paused when he licked his lips and gave her a surprised look. “You taste like flowers. What is that? New lipgloss?” He’s genuinely curious and it makes her giggle.
“I was drinking hibiscus tea,” she said. “Do you want some?”
He licked his lips again before he answered. “No thanks. I’m sure it doesn’t taste the same in a cup as it does on your lips.” He gave her a sly wink. She really hoped that bitch was on the floor now. “Anyway, I’m sorry that I’m late and I’m sorry that I can’t stay for lunch.” He paused for the sole reason of dramatic effect. “But I have a good excuse.”
She raised a brow at the look he gave her. “Try me.”
“I got a little distracted,” he told her playfully. “Something else caught my eye.” He rocked on his heels because he found great joy in teasing her. He actually laughed at the look of jealousy in her eyes. “Don’t worry babe, you know no one could ever replace you, buuuut you might have a little competition.”
Before she could speak, he brings out a tiny black kitten that he somehow had hidden under his leather jacket. It was as big as his hand and it had his purple bandana around its tiny neck. Allura held back a squeal of excitement so she wouldn’t startle tiny creature and Shiro knows exactly what she wants.
Carefully, he rearranged the kitten so he could hand it over to her. “Careful now, I think it’s back leg is hurt,” he said. The kitten lets out a tiny mewl at the new arrangement but quickly finds gratification in her warm arms. It purrs up against her chest and Allura heart melts at the sight.
Allura runs her hand over its slightly dirty fur. “Shiro where did you find it? It’s absolutely adorable!”
He reaches out a hand rub behind the kitten’s ears. “I found her wandering around in the middle of a busy street. And I could just leave little thing there. So I got off my bike so I could stop traffic and get her.”
“Aw, my brave little hero,” she said as she stroked the kittens tail.
“Only the bravest,” he replied. “So I pick her up and she immediately nuzzles into my chest and it’s probably the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I was thinking of dropping her off to that shelter down the street but if you want to keep her…” His voice trailed off with a smirk.
Allura held the kitten closer to her chest and it’s little paw lashes out to play with her silver curls. “Don’t you dare drop of this…this angel to that shelter. Of course, we’re keeping her!”
He chuckled a rich laugh. “I’d thought you’d say that. I’m going to take her to the vet, which is why I have to miss lunch with you and your dad.” He looked behind Allura and into the cafe and he waved boldly at Alfor he smiled warmly and tipped his glass towards Shiro in a greeting.
She nodded, understanding exactly why he couldn’t join them. “That’s fine,” she told him as she held the kitten above her head and giggled at the way it swatted at a passing butterfly. “I don’t think this is your crowd anyway. But I do love seeing their reactions when they see you.”
“Don’t worry, their reaction was amazing. I made sure to wear my best footwear.” He wiggled his shoes for extra measure.
“Those aren’t even yours, those are Keith’s,” she said.
“Hey, I stuffed my feet in this just for you since you have this weird obsession with wanting people to faint when they see us together.” Oh, she loved this man.
“Your effort to encourage my behavior is appreciated. I’ll make sure reward you later.”
“Remember to bring that flower tea,” he said lowly as he snaked an arm around her to bring her closer.
She giggled when she heard glass break from within the cafe. “It’s like music to my ears.” When the kitten mewled again, she shifts her attention back to the black fur ball in her arms. “What are we going to name her, Shiro?”
“I was thinking Black. Because you know, she’s black.”
Allura frowned in disgust at his suggestion. “Shiro, I swear if you name this precious ball of miracles ‘Black’ I’m going to divorce you.”
Shiro laughed at her words but it quickly died down before he said seriously, “You gotta marry me first, Princess.”
Her eyes searched his and when she found not an ounce of sarcasm, she replied. “I suppose that I do, huh?”
He smirked. “We’ll see if that can be arranged.” He was back to his teasing ways but Allura knew he was serious. It was only a matter of time and she had a lifetime to give.
She gave the kitten back to Shiro so he could take their new family member to the vet for a checkup. He got on his bike and started it up and the engine roared to life. She leaned over the bike to give him a kiss goodbye.
He returned the kiss chastely, but not as much as he would have liked. He couldn’t care less about the crowd that watched them, but he would rather not make out with Allura in front of her Dad. Reluctantly he pulled away from her lips. “I’m taking you out to dinner later tonight, okay?”
Her eyes lit up with excitement. “Ooh! Can we go to that burger place?”
“The one on Richmond and Kirby?” She nodded her head enthusiastically. “You got it, baby.” He placed the kitten back under his jacket before backed up his bike carefully onto the road.
She waved to him goodbye before she returned to sit with her father. He let her settle down before he spoke. “Allura, dear, I love this restaurant and I would love it if you didn’t try to burn it down with chaos because you love to prove a point.”

Shallura. Protect Au. Sick Fic. Rated T.
This is based on @starrycove / @shalalalalura Protect Au. It’s absolutely one of my favorite AUs in the fandom.

Shiro thought he was master at reading people until he met Princess Allura. From the day he was assigned to her, he realized that she had walls up in the form of a pretty face that masked her emotions, and innocent banter that masked her true intentions. Her playful eyes always betrayed her seemingly innocent words and those words always betrayed regal her mannerisms. Shiro had always prided himself on his unmatched ability to read people, but leave it to Allura to challenge his pride every chance she got.
He can proudly admit that he’s gotten better at reading her; he sees all the little quirks and traits she has. He’s by no means an expert considering it’s not always an immediate recognition, but he can tell when she’s teasing him just to see him go red or when she’s being sarcastic just to piss him off. He can tell when she’s nervous because of the way she tends to absentmindedly fiddle with the ends of her hair all while carrying a normal conversation in an even tone. Or when she’s agitated, her answers are short and her tongue is sharp, but never aggressive – an impressive balance.
However, these are simple characteristics that she merely allows him to see. When she’s upset or hurt, her walls are reinforced with stainless steel and it’s damn near impossible to get a good read on her. The only thing he can rely on is her eclectic eyes. They are always a dead giveaway when she’s set in one of her moods. They lose all of the playfulness that he secretly loves and harden into something he still can’t quite decipher. Even though she keeps her tone light and professional as if nothing is bothering her, he can always tell when she loses her fire.
Unfortunately for him, today was looking like a stainless steel wall kind of day. He can’t get a read on her to save his life. She smiles like she always does, greets him like she always does but the light isn’t in her eyes. She’s been quiet for way too long but to her credit, tonight is also the night of an important charity event where she was scheduled to deliver a speech in front of hundreds of the nation’s elite. Maybe it was the stress of the situation that was getting to her.
He looks over himself in the mirror to check over his black suit again. On second thought, he’s seen her deliver a speech in a language that wasn’t her own in front of thousands with a tongue as silver as her hair. Trying to figure her out was something he knows he’ll never fully understand but for now, he just wants to keep a watchful eye on her so he can study everything about her.

Shamelessly Reblogging again because it disappeared from the tag.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ;)
And before anybody starts asking why Allura’s wedding dress is purple, well I have a theory:
-If you search for Zarkon and Honerva’s wedding you’ll see her dress is also purple. And many of the “bonding moments” through the show happenend in a scene with purple lightning, Keith and Lance, Hunk and Shay, Allura and Lotor. Therefore my theory is that in altean culture means “bonding” or “union”.
-And Shiro got his alteans marks because of another theory I developed thanks to @knightofacherus which is that maybe when alteans choose a companion for life they can leave a mark on them if they’re not altean, and maybe when it’s an altean those who have been “marked” can change the color their marks to prove their union. But you don’t need to take that theory too serious since Honerva didn’t mark Zarkon. I still like it though.

Allura has a gift for Shiro!! I wonder if he’ll appreciate it? ;) Had a lot of fun coloring these! <3 (enjoy the captions)

if Shiro had been heavily ship-teased with a white woman the fandom at large would have no problem accepting the validity of those romantic scenes or the bisexual Shiro headcanon in this essay i will
you qualify for a veteran discount if you remember that in the early days of the shallura fam that the most discourse we ever had to experience was that shallura was ‘heteronormative’.
sometimes i listen to 'you found me' and casually get enveloped in this persistent disbelief how smth so epic just ended up meaning... nothing... @__@
man i remember the end of S6 and that HIGH of thinking “Shiro is back! Allura saved him! the Black Lion kept his soul alive!! things are finally getting back on track!” and then…… wow. the let down. smh.
Wake up together.
#thankyouprincess ♡
For @braincoins, from her Starlight/Paladin superhero AU! ♡
shoutout to @bbtree for being the one to point this out to me, but in case anyone is wondering where my new header (“they embrace”) is from, it’s from the descriptive audio for allura’s goodbye scene with the paladins, because this is literally what it says:
Allura hugs Hunk who cries on her shoulder. She turns to Pidge. She hugs Pidge, who also cries, then looks up at Shiro. They embrace. She turns to Keith. She hugs him. Allura and Lance hold hands.
