Hello! I was wondering if you could do the paladins that their s/o can speak other languages. For example, I can speak french, so whenever I get frustrated, I slip a "merde!" or two out of habit.
A/N: of course anon! Sorry we haven’t been too active we’re working on getting to requests. Languages sure are the coolest thing! (so envious of polyglots) Anyways I kept the language unspecific to keep it relatable (also I barely know any other languages outside of English). I also took some liberties with the languages in-universe seeing as all the the aliens speak English :,D
Shiro
He finds the fact you can speak multiple languages so cool
He found a new appreciation after being held captive by the Galra
So many of the other prisoners would revert to their native languages, talking anxiously to each other
It really reminded him of how alone he felt
So he’s even more doubly happy to be with you (even if he can’t understand much, at least he knows it’s from home)
Whenever you accidentally slip in words from other languages you always get a bit embarrassed (but Shiro finds it adorable)
Hunk
He loves it
He likes quizzing you on foreign foods and trying to get you to guess their origin (“Hunk I’ve told you already I don’t speak that. It’s from space!”)
A hobby of yours is you getting the most obscure words and getting him to try pronounce them
Hilarity ensues
It’s all a bit silly and he always acts so goofy (but at least he’s your goof)
Pidge
Linguists is honestly one of their favorite things
Other than computer coding they don’t know many other languages and they find it so cool you know multiple
“Like you use that to actually talk to other human beings? It’s so fascinating to think how all over the Earth, humans developed different syllables into all these different words and grammar patterns to have complicated meanings and— ”
Summary: it’s hella cool
The two of you also bond over learning little tidbits from other languages from the galaxy (trying to decipher Altean was equally painful and exhilarating)
Keith
Even if he’s not one to openly lavish upon compliments, he can’t help but give a smile whenever you can use your languages to help out
“You were pretty amazing back there [name]”
When no one else is looking, he asks you for study tips
The side of him that never quite left behind kiddy spy games finds being bilingual pretty darn cool (and useful)
He mostly uses it as an excuse to have you to himself though
“I saw Lance looking at you— remember, you’re mine. Also how do I pronounce this again?”
Lance
Takes every opportunity to remind you how amazing you are
Specifically learns phrases from other languages you know just to try recreate english pick up lines
It usually goes terribly wrong
“Hey— you’re a dumpster, may I lift you?” if you’re trash how about I pick you up
Whenever he’s feeling down he loves listening to you just talk about whatever in English or any other language
“It just reminds me of home. You’re home. Love you [name].”
