Day 8: Garrison AU

[b-kitsune]

Many ways to say I love you: Day Twelve.

Kidge-a-palooza 2019 Prompt: Sneaky. Pairing: Kidge (VLD) Universe: Garrison! AU Status: Part 2/4

Keith sighed with regret as he patiently kept the distance to perform the perfect acrobatics in sync with his peers around him, dictating orders at the necessary moment when one of his companions maneuvered in the wrong direction. It was a simple exhibition, to show the public the speed and precision of the latest aircraft made in Garrison in association with the altean technology. While Iverson commanded from the main cabin, the function was turning out just as they had rehearsed during the last five weeks.

As the main driver, and part of the promotion among the best pilots of his generation, Keith was forced to show the skill and discipline that the Garrison expected from his cadets. And he was in charge of directing the function for people who were interested in applying for the academy's program the next semester. Even if he had initially wished to reject it, Shiro had convinced him that thanks to that he could be considered for the space exploration program in conjunction with Daibazaal, one of the planets allied with the earth and the place where he was born. So it would be an insured position if he did that favor to Iverson.

Krolia had been proud as soon as she heard that he was considered to be an aircraft and that it was the perfect opportunity for Keith to show to others how skilled he was as a pilot. Keith didn't doubt that his mother was surely among the crowd with his uncle Kolivan to witness the spectacle.

In the end, he reluctantly accepted, Keith usually didn't like to command, but at that moment he felt good guiding his companions when they finished the last flight to expel the chemical vapor and paint the sky with colorful stelae. The people gathered from different parts of the galaxy shouted excited about the presentation.

Everything had gone well. The lieutenants congratulated them when they ordered them to descend to the established track.

At last, Keith could go down and do what he had been waiting for since he woke up that day. They were placed in position while the high commands awaited them in the hangar, congratulating them and giving them the chance to enjoy the event, as long as they behaved correctly today. All responded affirmatively.

Before Keith managed to escape, he was taken by Lance, seeing him with a cheeky smile that never led to anything good.

''No no no. Surely you will go to the training room. We are going to take advantage of the day like good comrades.'' Keith grunted in response by taking the arm from his neck.

''I don't have time for your nonsense, Lance.''

''But he's right.'' Shiro approached them when he heard Lance's words, looking at Keith with inquisition. ''Surely you will go to the training simulation while they don't see you. Don't you think it's a good opportunity to socialize with others? You gave an amazing presentation today, you should take advantage of it to get closer to your classmates.''

''Actually, Shiro, today I had something planned.'' He answered nervously, giving a quick glance to Lance, who didn't seem to believe him at all. ''I promised Pidge that I would show her the hangar of the aerospace zone, which is open to the public today.''

''Pidge? Who is? Your girlfriend?'' Lance joked, bothering Keith a bit, but before answering, James intervened.

''You're not talking about Katie, Major Holt's daughter, are you, Kogane?''

''It's none your business, Griffin.''

''Stop there.'' Shiro snapped before they started a discussion. ''If that is the case, then go ahead. I think I saw her with Matt at the Garrison kitchen.''

''Thanks, Shiro.''

He smiled before leaving the hangar and heard Griffin's irritation in the distance, dismissing the matter. Although his relationship with him had been transformed into something more neutral and respectful over the years as co-pilots, there was still some friction between them. Especially since Griffin discovered that he and Pidge started dating a few months ago.

When he had told Pidge about it, she let him know that Griffin was her father's assistant and that from time to time he had found her rummaging through the research rooms. He was kind to her most of the time as long as she didn't get into trouble, and he acted like an overprotective big brother, seeing her as too fragile for her own good, even if Griffin knew that she was completely capable of defending herself.

Keith had listened attentively that day, but he didn't believe in Griffin's good intentions. Besides, he surely thought that he was not good enough for her and that he would hurt her as soon as he got bored just like Lance used to do with his girlfriends. What was completely separated from reality.

Keith liked Pidge, a lot. Things had changed between them since the time he found her in the rain last winter. And both Shiro and her family were calm and happy that they both spent time together, had been positively influenced and didn't overstep the limits when things started to become more intimate with each other. They had kissed many times while nobody saw them, thinking that they were being sneaky enough so that no one would notice.

Maybe nobody had proof about them, nor were they officially dating, but there was something between them that could be palpable. Even Colleen had bothered them once when they would formally begin dating, to Sam's dismay. Alluding that her daughter was still too young to think about such things, but he had never denied her exits with Keith, even if they sometimes ended late into the night.

Matt, however, was more invasive and renegade at the idea that Pidge had a boyfriend. Reaching self-invite himself to many of their outputs so that none will make some strange movement. Keith thanked the heavens that when Shiro knows about what Matt was doing, he started inviting him to spend time with him every time Keith and Pidge went somewhere.

Keith smiled as he remembered that until he realized he was being followed by Lance and Hunk on the way from the kitchen. He watched them with a raised eyebrow when he stopped.

''What are they doing?''

''I'm going to the kitchen, I'm hungry after that show.'' Hunk replied as if it were something obvious.

''I want to know what the nerd looks like.''

''Don't tell her like that, Lance, I warn you.'' Keith growled loudly. So Lance raised his arms in surrender when he realized that he had pressed his buttons unintentionally.

''Ok, dude. Don't get mad at something like this ...'' Lance lowered his hands when he saw him sigh and continue on his way, so they began to accompany him closely. ''It's just that I'm intrigued that you're so interested in Commander Holt's daughter.'' Lance said, in a more complacent tone. ''I wonder if he's going to be a brainy girl with big glasses and everything like Matt.''

''How do you know she wears glasses?'' Keith asked intrigued, Lance buzzed with a grimace.

''Then it's definitely that girl is away from my league, don't worry about me mullet, I'll say hello and Hunk and I will be satisfied, is not that right, big man?''

''What? But I really go to the kitchen to eat something! I'm not interested in how Major Holt's daughter looks.'' Hunk crossed his arms to emphasize his point. ''Besides, it's a girl Keith, how many years did she have? thirteen years? I'm surprised that even Shiro agrees with you to go behind her.''

''She's fifteen, and I'm not going after her. She's my friend!'' He answered uncomfortably. But Lance and Hunk hummed without believing anything.

''Keep lying mullet, but don't worry. While she doesn't report you, you don't do anything wrong.''

Keith ended up hitting Lance in the head at that statement that brought more than a disturbing look at the Garrison's visitors. Besides, it's not like he's lying, they were friends.

That from time to time they would end up holding each other while kissing and caressing in places that brushed the imminent danger, was another business.

They entered in the kitchen room without much difficulty, although there were enough people around the corridors, the biggest attractions were in the courtyard, so very few people had decided to go in search of food. When Keith began looking for Pidge by the seats, he heard her scream his name when she approached wearing a charming green dress that he had seen him wear before in formal celebrations. Keith smiled unconsciously when he was hugged tightly by Pidge, she looked charmingly cute at that moment.

So much so, that perhaps Lance's cry had come a little later than he expected.

''No way! She's too cute to be a complete nerd!'' Before Keith answered, a hand hit Lance's head hard enough to get him out of the stupor. ''And why was it?''

''To shut your mouth in front of my sister.'' Hunk greeted Matt as he stood next to Pidge. ''She is Katie, the next semester she will apply to the pilot program. So surely you will see it frequently in a few months.''

''Hunk, it's a pleasure.'' Hunk offered his hand with kindness, to which Pidge responded in the same way. ''And the jerk next to me is Lance, I suggest you don't take it too seriously.''

''Hey! I can be a great influence when I propose it.''

''Were not you the guy who hit the Kerberos flight simulation?'' Lance blushed notoriously at the mention of the accident.

''What Keith told you is completely exaggerated. Even if it doesn't look like it, I'm an excellent main pilot.''

''It was not Keith; it was my dad. You burned the data processor by overheating it because of the terrible decisions you made.'' All tried to uselessly contain the laughter about what happened that day. It was a stain on Lance's record and one of the accidents most remembered by the Garrison.

''You know? I begin to realize why you two get along so well.''

''Oh sorry, I didn't mean to bother you.'' Pidge replied, extending her hand towards Lance. ''You are one of the most interesting people that Shiro and Keith have known, they talk to me a lot about you. I hope we get along when I get into the program the next semester.''

Lance looked at her skeptically, but at the mention of Shiro, he was able to relax again, making him happy that someone like him recognized him outside the Garrison. The girl was somewhat aggressive, but he could say she was kind, it was something that Lance felt he could handle. So, he decided to accept her hand.

''Pidge, we'd better hurry if you still want to enter the hangar.''

''Oh, yeah, sure''

''Wait, what hangar are you supposed to be going to?'' Inquired Matt with inquisition when he saws them slightly nervous.

''The one in the aerospace flight area is open and Pidge wanted to know the models of the hunting ships that Garrison was using.'' Keith answered simply; Pidge nodded for emphasis.

''And you're not invited! So don't ever follow us.'' Pidge added, but Matt looked quite satisfied with Keith's response.

''Yeah, of course, you can go without problems, it is a public area and there will be many people around.''

They both left the kitchen before Matt decided to change his mind for some reason, saying goodbye to Hunk and Lance in the passage. They began to walk through the corridors of the Garrison, taking several completely opposite paths to the exit they had decided to use as bait, mocking one or another lieutenant who was doing that day as a precaution.

They stopped in an elevator in the area of ​​scientific advance that gave access to a restricted area, but Pidge got the key to his father as he had said to Keith yesterday.

''Are you ready?'' Pidge looked at Keith with determination, if anyone found out what they were trying to do, surely, they would be expelled from the Garrison for life. Keith nodded, swallowing heavily, but with the same emotion in Pidge's eyes.

''Completely.''

When they entered, the elevator began to descend for long minutes. So, Pidge, in a moment of boredom and excitement at the danger that surrounded them if they were discovered, began to annoy Keith. First hitting him with the body playfully, earning a slight laugh from him. Then she began to tighten it over the clothes, ending in a battle to see which of the two could stand up to the other's touches.

Pidge lost. Being knocked down with Keith's hands on her waist and a languid kiss that accompanied her when she fell to the ground.

They looked at each other for a few seconds without needing to separate, in moments like those, they enjoyed completely stealing some of another kiss to fulfill their daily goal of happiness.

''You look so cute with that dress.''

''Thank you.'' Pidge replied, somewhat embarrassed at the compliment so direct. ''I like your jacket; it looks good on you.''

''Surely it will also look good on you when you are forced to use it every day.''

Keith smiled playfully as he aimed one of his hands towards her face. That it was clear thanks to the strands taken from her hair in a simple ornament on the back of her head.

But before continuing their moment of confidence, they saw through the elevator what they had been investigating throughout the year, leaving them so impressed that they were barely able to speak. What the Garrison and alchemists of Altea were hiding from the universe during all these years. What Pidge and Keith had been trying to discover in fraganti when they heard a strange conversation between Shiro and Sam.

There, under Garrison, they were building giant robotic lions.

Outsiders (Garrison AU)

Inspired by @uraraaaaaaan Picture of Keith, Pidge, and Lotor all going to the Garrison together and being the same age and  becoming friends: https://uraraaaaaaan.tumblr.com/post/182132353222/what-if-they-were-all-the-same-age-and-if-they Story tags: All parents are alive, All three of them are around the same age, All the original Voltron members are still around.

Since their very first day at the Garrison, Keith, Katie, and Lotor felt like an outsider.

Their fellow classmates created rumours and believed the three got special treatment or were accepted because of who they were connected to not by their own merits. The teachers all expecting them to be carbon copies of the ones that came before them.

Keith who had a history of disrespecting authority, and a long array of anger issues that often ended in a fight. Dreamed of becoming a pilot, but time and time again he was disregarded by teachers, as nothing more than a trouble maker. So instead of hoping for more, Keith began to accept just following his mother's footstep and becoming a warrior.

Till one fateful day, Shiro came to his school and saw something in Keith. It felt surreal having one of the greatest students in piloting skills and athletics, personally recommended him. Takashi Shriogane had broken more records than any one person in the history of the garrison. Keith could hardly wait for the day he could go to the garrison and start with a clean slate.

Both of his parents were so proud and supportive of him going to the Garrison. Though once there, things went downhill fast. Being Shiro’s protege, all the teachers were expecting him to be the perfect soldier.

Though Keith blindly taking orders from anyone, just because they had a higher rank than him, really didn’t go well. He understood the prosses of hazing to toughen a person, but going after him for his Galra Heritage was one step too far. The disgust in their voice and the joy on their face, while saying the insults were all too real to just be made up for hazing him.

Things weren’t much better with his peers, some of the kids from his old school came to the garrison as well. Stories about his temper and less than clean record spread fast, making any and all group activities a dread. Everyone avoided working with him at all cost, even doing his work just so they didn’t have to deal with him. Which in turn, made Keith more and more reluctant to work with anyone.

No matter how hard he worked, any success he had was always credited to Shiro’s influence and never to him, never to the delinquent Keith that Takashi Shriogane took pity on.

------------

Katie had always dreamed of going to the Garrison, being part of an amazing team and one day she could work side by side with her brother and Father. Katie just didn’t know how steep a path her brother Matt and Father had left for her to fill.

Katie came from a school who bullied and ridiculed her for her intelligence and knowledge. So she learned to keep quiet, she didn’t have the social skills her brother had to disarm bullies and correct the teachers without them taking offence.

Katie never picked a fight but if others tried to put her down or physically intimidate her, retaliation was through to follow through ‘pranks’ no matter if the person was a teacher, students or anyone else, she had a hard time standing up for herself in the moment, but she always knew how to get back at people. Katie always wise, and skilled enough to make sure it was never traced back to her. Biding her time, waiting for the day she could join the garrison, to have a new start.

At the garrison her family was considered a legacy;

Matt was well known for being one of the nicest, most sociable cadets that students and teachers ever knew. Matt could charm or disarm anyone that took a few minutes to talk to him. Not to mention, he was always at the top of all his academic classes by leaps and bounds compared to any of his classmates.

Her Father; Sam Holt, a well-known explorer and scientist, his was known by anyone with ambitions for space exploration. Everyone’s expectations for Katie from the students to the teachers was overwhelming, it made her feel like one wrong step would ruin her family reputation.

The teachers' none stop compared her to Matt and their Father, though it was more questioning than praise. When it came to working with others it was always, ‘Why can’t you get along with people like Matt’ or ‘you’ll never be a leader like commander Holt with that attitude’. when she shot a quip at someone for a stupid comment or a teacher's blatant ignorance the reply was always something along the lines of ‘I expect better from a Holt’ or ‘I feel sorry for Matt having a mean sister like you.”

Worst of all when groups she was assigned to tried to dump all their work on her. Katie flat out refused, but it was soon followed by ‘you know Matt would actually help us’ as if that would sway her enough to do their work. Her Brother was sometimes a bit of a pushover when it came to pleasing people a trait Katie did not possess or wanted to have. Then her group mates would blame her for being difficult and the teachers would say ‘Your father would be very disappointed in your behaviour’ cause it was always her word against the group.

Everyone wanted her to be like Matt or like her Father, no one wanted Katie to be herself…

----------------

Lotor had looked forward to going a school far from his homeworld, far from his galaxy, to be given a chance to be treated for who he was, instead of what he was, whether it was Prince, Halfbreed, or the son of Zarkon; the pilot of the black lion, and son of Hanerva, one of the greatest minds in Galra or Altean history.

It was a new start for Lotor, a place he could be himself without the weight of his status constantly on his shoulders. Where he could make real friends that liked him for who he was and people who would be loyal to him instead of his lineage.

He never expected things to be so similar on earth as they were on his planet. Of course stories of his father reached even all the way to this planet, so of course, all the students and teachers know who he was before he took his first steps into the Garrisons grounds.

Even here, on a planet so far from his own with only a handful of Galra on the planet. There were still only two different kinds of people; one kind sucked up to him for his status, or because of who his father was. All having those painted on smiles, using words and actions for no other reason than to gain his favour, just so they could fill their own desires.

The others hating him for either his race or his status, he didn’t belong here in their eyes, he would never be one of them just a pretender, his status got him everything he wanted in life, so it was their personal duty to make sure he got familiar with the hardships of life.

Even among the teachers, there were only two kinds of people, they either admired his father or held bearly contain hostility.

All Lotor wanted was a real friend, that didn’t care about his race or status, or who his father was. Lotor began to wonder if even one person like that existed.

-------------

All three of these outcast just wanted a new start, a place where they could build their skills, make friends and be recognized for who they were.

None of them ever expecting that one day, they would find these things within each other. ------------
