OKAY I NEEDED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LIMITED SUPPLY OF KOLIVUNK SO HERE
Altean!Hunk with Kolivan as his (very trusted ;D) guard? Mm. Yes. 👌🏼
__________________________________________
as one of Altea’s best diplomats of all time, of course Hunk has to make his travels to different solar systems and planets to create alliances and treaties.
before the war, the Blade of Marmora was in a very tight relationship with the Altean people, always defending their valuable land and resources from any intruder without a second thought.
among the group, someone had to be chosen to be Prince Hunk’s guard. and so, it ended up being Kolivan.
he was the toughest Galran warriors among them, and the most intimidating.
he actually didn’t get chosen, he volunteered.
he’s heard plenty of good things about the prince. about how generous he was, how patient he was, and a very good cook.
Hunk always denied of needing a guard, and that he could protect himself. He made his own weapons, ones that suited him no doubt.
(the people saw him almost like a baby he needed to be protected at all cOSTS so of course they insisted.)
when Hunk met Kolivan he was almost scared himself. (aka “holy fucking quiznak this dude is tall”) but, he kept his composure and got along well with the BoM member.
one day there was a terrorist attack on Hunk’s castle, and dozens of Marmoran guards were sent in to evacuate the area.
Hunk, being the most selfless Prince ever jfc, went around the entire castle to make sure his family was out.
however, a small Altean child was buried beneath several peices of the wall that had crumbled.
Hunk started to lift the rocks out of the way, when Kolivan ran into the room. “My prince, please see yourself outside of the castle. I’ll take it from here.”
He hesitated. He didn’t want to leave and risk losing his entrusted guard. “B-but..”
“Go!” He took in a shaky breath, but ran towards the exit anyway.
a few minutes later, he was outside with his family and Altean staff that worked at the castle.
his anxiety was through the ROOF. oh, where is he where is he where is he?
suddenly, a tall armored figure slowly emerged from the dusty exit. it was Kolivan, with the child asleep in his arms.
medics immediately rushed to the child and carried him away. Hunk ran to Kolivan.
he was weak, and tired. Hunk could tell. as soon as he bent over in pain, Hunk held onto his arm as support.
Kolivan didn’t understand why the prince was so nice to someone like him. he was his guard, that’s all that he was meant for. that was his sole purpose.
but Hunk wrapped his arm around his shoulders to keep him steady as they headed to the closest medical center for Altea.
Kolivan was placed in the hospital for the next three days, itching to leave and go back to Prince Hunk’s side.
it wasn’t out of emotion, he thought, it was just his job. what would happen to him if he wasn’t there? would he be replaced temporarily? is Hunk okay right now?
on the other hand, Hunk was just as bad. he would pace back and forth in the castle’s garden thinking about his guard. he was dying to visit him, but couldn’t due to a tight diplomatic schedule.
at the end of an alliance meeting, Hunk was returning to his quarters when a medic notified him of someone requesting his presence. Kolivan was discharged.
The prince rushed to meet with him, and he found him standing tall in the entrance.
“Kolivan!” Hunk exclaimed with joy, slowing down just in front of him. Kolivan felt the same relief, joy even, but he didn’t show it.
“My prince.” He bent forward and stood back up, with his arms by his side.
He had no idea why, but that phrase always made his heart beat faster. it made him feel so much happier in multiple ways.
Hunk walked closer to him, and offered him his arm. Kolivan was flustered to say the least; he’s never done that before.
Either way, he accepted his gesture and they walked towards the royal garden together.
they talked for hours. from the attack on the castle, to their days when they were apart, and even simple stuff.
once they reached to the center of the garden, Hunk stopped walking and grabbed his guard’s large hand.
Kolivan stopped in his tracks and stood still before turning to Hunk. His own heart thudding in his chest; he prayed that he couldn’t hear it.
“Um, I’ve-I’ve never got to tell you this, but..when you saved mine and that kid’s life that day? I never got to t-thank you so...thank you.” That was when he wore the softest smile Kolivan has ever seen.
There was a sparkle in Hunk’s eye that he was drawn to. he’s seen him smile all the time, but this one felt different. it felt..loving.
curse his heart for beating so fast. he didn’t know what to say. he only felt this way when he was around the prince.
he couldn’t feel his clawed hand slowly reach towards Hunk’s, until he felt a smaller, softer one held his.
then he felt a yank. now he was chest-to-chest with the one he was assigned to protect. he was only supposed to keep him safe, nothing more.
but now? that was out the window. arms snaked around his neck while his clinged to Hunk’s waist. “Forgive me, my prince.”
he leaned downward and and captured the prince’s lips with his. he could be selfish for once. Hunk didn’t mind though.
he reached upward as far as he could, up onto his tippy toes. he returned with just as much passion as he could muster. Kolivan’s were rough, but they were so warm.
from that moment, it was clear for the both of them.
