Warnings: Oblivious!Pidge and Jealous!Keith. (Press picture for better quality)

(Further explanation:) Keith Kogane is utterly captivated by his smaller girlfriend, Katie “Pidge” Holt; so much so that he memorizes and records every single thing she does. She’s so adorable, it’s no wonder guys start hovering around when they see her cute side beneath her gremlin attitude. Too bad for them, his jealousy can easily discourage the few that try to take away his girlfriend...

(Note: This is inspired by an anime I watched awhile ago, My Sweet Tyrant)

Many ways to say I love you: Day One

Kidge-a-palooza 2019 Day One: Fickle Pairing: Kidge (VLD) Universe: Canon (Season 1) Status: Part 1/7

Pidge was used to finding the right answer to all her problems with the use of logic to her benefit.

When she was a little girl, having friends was something that always was difficult from her, she wasn't good at reading the environment and her sharp tongue inherited from her mother didn't help any moment. So, they always turned their backs on her when Pidge tried to be a little more sociable. One day, bored with jokes and bad treatment, she decided that it wasn't for her. Having her family and Bae Bae to keep her company was enough, building walls towards the rest of the world.

When she began to grow up, she didn't feel comfortable with the new curvature of her body, her dresses accentuated her waist and Pidge felt strangely uncomfortable with the use of a bra, so she decided to use jackets twice her size and cover her growth. Nobody noticed the difference; their development was slow anyway.

This was how all her problems were easily dismissed or, if it was possible, left aside. And if this weren't the case, Pidge took the reins of the situation without considering the consequences. It was like this when she infiltrated a government property, passed herself off as a boy and ended up in a lion of 10,000 years old alien technology.

Even then after all the catastrophes in recent months, she felt calm, everything was solvable with a few minutes of thorough analysis. And entering Voltron had helped her to generate flexibility that on earth she hadn't achieved through the traditional ways, Pidge was stubborn after all. And being right almost always worked in her favor.

But at that moment, while working in the green lion's hangar isolated from others coding the recent files of the Galra fleet, even for months of studying the situation carefully within all the possible variables, she couldn't find the correct answer to the fickle attitude of Keith Kogane.

When she met him in the rescue of Shiro in a turn of coincident events, Pidge immediately recognized the bad character made a person.  Place she thought that she had naively earned it.

If Pidge had trouble relating to the rest and isolating himself from the world at the slightest problem, Keith far surpassed her. Many times, she saw herself recriminating him for attitudes that even to her seemed extremist, seeing the irony of who came to the comment. However, they understood each other quite well without talking too much, like Lance and Hunk, Pidge could understand where his bad temper often came from and did her best to help him overcome it.

There were situations that even Shiro had sent directly to talk to Keith as soon as there was friction in the team. And she was proud to have a unique space with her arm mate in which none of the other members, including Shiro, was welcome.

Or so she thought.

''Pidge, there you are!'' Allura entered the hangar with an enviable spirit, Pidge didn't even look up. ''Coran and I have scheduled training for all the paladins today, I need you to be in the training room in half varga.''

''I'm busy here.''

''But it's-''

''This is also important.'' Pidge interrupted her before she insisted.

''All right. I will not try to convince you.'' Allura returned to the exit, leaving Pidge somewhat confused by her complacent attitude. ''In ten ticks, I will deactivate the electricity of the hangar, I hope you aren't afraid of the darkness.''

''Are you serious?'' But when she looked up, only saw the determination on her face, the panic growing inside her when saw her count in reverse. ''Ok, ok, I'm going to get dressed, don't lock me in here!''

''I'm glad you understand!'' Allura patted her back once she ran to the door, closing the hangar until the end of the training. Pidge groaned disappointedly. ''Part of the paladins' job is to keep a constant training of physical activity and strengthening of the link even if they aren't in battle, to keep the body in shape. I expected no less from the green lion's paladin.''

''You threatened me.''

She objected dryly, but Allura ignored her when they both walked inside the castle.

She least wanted was to participate in the castle exercises, much less deal with Keith in the process.

During the last weeks, his attitude had changed strangely towards her, leaving her completely conflicted. It wasn't as if Keith had the same attitude every day, but Pidge had felt strangely uncomfortable with him.

He could converse peacefully with her during breakfast, annoy Lance together, help her with updates on the red lion, and discuss her interests as if they had been close friends for a long time in her room, in a unique and unparalleled closeness in which even she felt his breathing close enough to hit her in the face, often feeling that her heart would come out at any moment. The next day, she could be lucky if he greeted her or looked at her in the corridors. Many times in that order, other times he could spend days when he didn't even address a single word.

Sometimes Keith seemed really worried about her health during the training sessions, coming to give her deep hugs when nobody else looked them, she felt protected and taken care of by those moments where only the two existed. And other days, he could leave her alone to the point of being shot because of him.

There were moments when he stopped her in the corridors to try to say something important, but he only kept his mouth open and returned as quickly as he arrived. Then he commented that he only needed help on anything and had already solved it without problems.

Lately, she didn't understand what he wanted, sometimes he seemed to adore her, and at the second was a complete stranger. When she faced it, it didn't work at all, since he left her alone, alluding that she was only imagining things.

So Pidge decided that he simply had to ignore it.

''Pidge, you finally came!'' She approached Shiro quickly when he greeted her, being the last to appear. ''Now that we're all ready, can start this training.''

'' What will it be this time?'' Lance asked interested while stretching. ''A 2vs3? Race of lions? Battle of gunfire? Or will we have to sit in a circle and tell our secrets?''

''Actually, it's a shooting battle.'' Everyone looked at Shiro surprised at the simplicity of the training.

''How boring''. Pidge commented loudly. Taking a light laugh at the black paladin.

''Oh believe me Pidge, you'll enjoy it.''

 ...

 The exercise was simple with rules similar to a traditional terrestrial MOBA, defeating the central points by going to any of the five roads, in which at the end of this, they would take control of the central command. They could recharge, change and stop whenever they wanted as long as they didn't shoot at themselves. Only, this time, it was the four versus Shiro, in a simulation with night vision, without special binoculars, and they were at a clear disadvantage.

The worst thing was that they had been classified by armament pairs, so Pidge was obliged to deal with Keith throughout the training.

As soon as they found one of the points, they shot it quickly to deactivate it.

''I haven't listened to Hunk for several minutes.'' Keith approached her side to avoid being attacked by the attack bots. But Pidge just grunted unguarded. ''Do you think they will be fine on the other side?''

''I don't know.'' He could see the bewilderment on her face when it was illuminated by a slight explosion.

''Are you angry?''

''No!''

Before being shot, Pidge pushed him behind some boxes they used as shields during the simulation. The noise suggested a group of more than five bots around them. For those who covered their backs to shoot them before being injured and eliminated.

They advanced for many minutes as they evaded and eliminated, but Pidge stumbled over an object and Keith quickly took it to place it on his shoulder, beginning to run to lose sight of them.

With the last reload of his weapon, he was able to annihilate the last one before being caught, feeling the overload on his body. Pidge was complaining about the pain in her foot, surely she had folded it as soon as she fell. Both couldn't follow the path, nor did they have ammunition to defend themselves, it was a matter of time for them to lose against the system.

Keith approached her to lightly touch her damaged foot.

''Are you okay?''

''Yeah ... '' It was barely a whisper. Keith sat beside her when he listened to the gunfire around him. And without avoiding it, he asked.

''Hey ... Is there something I did that bothered you?''

''What?'' Pidge was confused with his question, so Keith preferred to explain himself correctly.

''We were pretty good in the last time, and the next day, you started avoiding me like I had the plague. I don't want you to feel obligated to tell me something you don't want, but, I was happy, you know? You were the first friend I've had after Shiro, and I would feel bad knowing that maybe I did something that bothered you.''

''I thought I had done something to annoy you, Keith.'' Keith turned his head off, listening to her. ''Sometimes you talked to me, and the next second you started to ignore me, then you were days without talking to me and from one moment to another you acted as if nothing happens-

Pidge didn't calculate the exact moment when it happened, but from one second to the next she was strongly pressed to the wall, lips pressing on her and the light shots of the simulation around them as the only memory of reality.

It wasn't exactly sweet or soft, he savored her with fury, with a need incarnate of his own primitive desire. Pidge didn't know how to react, she wanted to take him away for mere instinct to be attacked so wildly, but it was that same feeling that was taking him to take the lapels of his uniform and push him closer to her, causing her hips hit each other.

It was the first time she was kissed by someone. It was the first time she felt a fire rising beneath her stomach as soon as his lips parted to give way to her tongue, tasting her painfully. Keith was relentless, demanding, leaving her with no air and caressing every contour inside her mouth. His hands trembled as approached her waist, letting Pidge know that all the strength he used before was the product of recent nerves.

Was being his first time too?

She could push him away, accept him and answer the kiss, do all that or just get carried away for the moment. But at any moment the illumination was turned on in lights of medium intensity giving when the simulation finished. Pidge and Keith walked away fearfully as if they had been aware of what had happened at that moment, and without another word, got up to go to the exit.

Pidge leaned on Keith's shoulder because of her ankle. There, Shiro, Coran, and Allura waited for them with a big smile.

''Congratulations, you two were closest to the victory, Lance and Hunk are still looking for the exit.'' Allura replied with happiness, both nodded defeated.

''Are you hurt Pidge?'' Shiro asked worriedly.

''I just bent my ankle during training.''

''At least it's not something serious, you have to be careful next time. Keith, can you take her to the infirmary?''

''Oh, yeah.''

They both went to the exit as soon as they heard the screams of Lance rumble on the walls about the difficulty of the exercise. When they walked a couple of meters away from the training room. Pidge approached Keith's face gently, to brush his lips in a delicate movement. Keith looked embarrassed.

''I'm sorry I lost control there, if you don't want to continue, I'll understand ...''

''Kiss me, Keith.'' She cut him, and Keith smiled relieved at his response, kissing her, over and over again being careful not to move on to take his injured foot.

''I wanted to do this for so long.''

''Is that why you were being so strange?'' Pidge could see the shame build up Keith's face with force, nodding nervously. ''Oh my god, you're so emo.''

''And you're very shorty, c' mere.''

Pidge laughed sarcastically when Keith took her into his arms to address the infirmary. Both could have an aggressive passive relationship on the surface, but deep down, they expected that new discovery in the simulation room to change things a bit between them.

Light in the Distance

Light in the Distance - Kidge Month Day 25 Prompt Fill Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender Pairing: Kidge Summary: “I’ll be sure to remember that for future reference,” she teased. She then glanced back at up at him, the flames dancing in her eyes. “So, other than the cutest ball of fluff in the known universe, what else did you gain from the Quantum Abyss?” Standard Disclaimer: If you read and enjoy this, please give it a like/ reblog so I know if I should write more.

Traveling back to Earth was going to be arduous and tedious, but it was the only way they’d be able to regain some semblance of control in the swelling tides of war. While Keith himself didn’t really have much to look forward to back in orbit – what with Krolia heading off with Kolivan to try and unit the remaining scattered Blades – but he understood why the others were excited. For as much as a part of him wanted to forewarn them of what little the Quantum Abyss had revealed to him, he also knew better. Fate, he had learned, wasn’t set in stone. It could be changed or persuaded to take an alternate avenue.

He knew that much after his battle with Shiro. In the Quantum Abyss, he’d been shown a vision of himself having to kill the other man. Instead, as they set up camp on a small, forest-esque planet, he could see him across the campsite, helping to clear a spot for them to start a fire. Fate had been changed there by a combination of Keith’s own refusal to accept it, and Allura’s prolific abilities. Perhaps, by some greater power, things would be different than he’d seen on Earth. He certainly hoped so, anyway. For the sake of the others.

He also surmised that this applied to all the visions he’d had, excluding the glimpses into the past he’d caught. Thus, he realized, things he’d seen for his own future and the future of the others could also be altered. He made a note to himself to keep that in mind, as there were certainly things to come that he wanted to stop. He knew there was the risk of altering other things with his actions, but it felt like a risk he had to take. His teammates had all given up so much already and he was going to personally see to it they got to have a happy ending when all was said and done.

Conversation as they ate was sparse. They had originally just been coasting through space, sleeping in their Lions, but after a quick dog fight with some rogue space pirates, they had opted to try and make camps more often. They would find planets that had good coverage that could mask the Lions to allow them some rest. They would still need to be vigilant, though.

“I’ll take the first watch,” Keith offered calmly, tossing a few more sticks into the fire.

“Are you sure? You’ve probably had the longest time of action out of any of us,” Allura said worriedly.

“We’ve all been through a lot recently. Besides, I can handle it,”

“Blades got you ready for stuff like this?” Lance asked.

“Something like that,” he said with a shrug. He settled in front of the fire, Kosmo, as the rest had taken to calling the wolf curling up around him, as the others headed up into the Lions, making themselves comfortable in the small cabins hidden inside. He briefly wondered how often the Paladins of old had made use of the small rooms. The way Coran spun the tales, they wouldn’t have needed to make use of them too terribly oft.

He wandered around the campsite for a moment to stretch his legs, the wolf moving slightly and watching him from where he lay. He found an odd piece of wood on the outskirts before settling back into his previous seat, reclining against his companion and making himself comfortable. He moved to pull out his Blade and start whittling on the little piece, but froze when he remembered it wasn’t there. He had given it to his Mom, telling her that she could return it to him the next time they met. His shoulders slumped a bit, unsure of what to do with himself. Realizing that his knife, which had always been at his hip, long before he learned the truth of its secrets, left him with an odd sadness welling in his chest.

“I wondered how you’d manage once you remember that thing was gone,” A voice commented, causing him to jump.

“Pidge, you’re supposed to be resting,” he snapped, tone a bit harsher than he intended out of surprise. He briefly glanced down at Kosmo, who had his eyes closed peacefully. He supposed that, all things considered, he didn’t see a point in alerting him when it was someone he considered a trust.

She paused in her approach for a moment before shrugging and continuing towards him. “Yeah, well, you know how well me and sleep get along,”

“You two get along about as well as fish and water do,” he said, a small grin turning up on his lips, “from what I remember about what a nightmare waking you up was.”

“Okay, let me rephrase; you know how well me and normal sleep schedules get along,” she corrected flatly, settling into the spot beside him. She pulled her knees up against her chest and rested her head on them, tilting her head to look at him. “You’ve had the knife a long time so it must be weird not having it around, huh?”

“Kinda. But… It also feels kind of good. Because I know that it’s safe with Mom, and it feels like a promise,” he said quietly. He looked at the little piece of the wood before toying with it with his thumb. It was a lot smoother than he’d been anticipating. “Like… No matter what else happens, she’s going to come back and we’ll be able to visit Dad together.”

Pidge blinked in surprise before smiling softly. “That’s really great.  You’ve seemed a lot happier, despite everything,” she pointed out.

“Well, I saw a lot of interesting things while Mom and I were in the Quantum Abyss,” he said gently. He then reached back and gently scratched behind one of his wolf’s ears, chuckling when he felt his fluffy blue tail thumping against his outer thigh. “Plus, I finally got to have the animal companion I always wanted.”

“Oh, so he’s an animal companion? Not a pet? She teased, reaching out and scratching behind his other ear. The thumping grew more excited at the affections of both individuals.

“He’s smarter than what is expected of a pet, so it just seems… off to call him that. Animal companion feels like the better fit,” he chuckled.

“I’ll be sure to remember that for future reference,” she teased. She then glanced back at up at him, the flames dancing in her eyes. “So, other than the cutest ball of fluff in the known universe, what else did you gain from the Quantum Abyss?”

He chuckled and relaxed, letting his own eyes wander back over to the blaze before them. “It’s helped in putting a bit of hope in me. Things seem bleak right now, where we’re so far from Earth and any practical means of accomplishing our goals but… I still just have this gut feelings that it’ll all turn out for the best. That everything will be okay so long as we work together and fight on. And before you say anything; yes, I know how hokey that sounds.”

“Well, I think hokey is acceptable in this case,” she answered with a small shrug. She was quiet for a while, letting her gaze wander over to the shrinking fire. She tossed a few more branches into it, causing it to perk back up to a more respectable size. “What all did you see? When you were out there, I mean?”

“All kinds of stuff. Most of it is just a blur, but… It was good. Well, most of it was good,” he said, hoping she wouldn’t pick up on the little bluffs he’d slipped in.

“And it’s all going to happen? The good and the bad?”

“Not necessarily,” he said. She made a small noise of intrigue and he chuckled. “You’re the math wizard. Shouldn’t you know that, with how infinite the possibilities of the universe are, there’s no way anything is definite.”

“Well, you never know. It’s not like I’ve tested this theory myself. And, without having an answer, the best I can do is come up with contingency plans for all the possible outcomes,” she scoffed, sounding just a little bit bitter. It seemed like there was something else underneath it all, something bothering her. He opted against pressing her on it, though, because he’d learned she could get just as prickly as he did over having her privacy invaded.

“Well, I can at least tell you that the future I saw is subject to change, depending on how the situations we are presented are handled,” he offered.

“Oh yeah?”

“I was able to change one of the things I saw, when everything happened with Shiro,” he said quietly. He then looked back at the fire. His mind replayed the debates he’d been mulling over when he’d first settled out to play lookout. If there was anyone he knew he could approach it with, it was Pidge. “There are things I saw that I knew I wanted to change, and others that I know I don’t. But… It puts us in a weird spot, you know?”

“The risk of what all the butterfly effect can lead to?”

“Exactly. So, as far as I’m concerned, I’m going to change what needs to be changed, and hope it doesn’t impact the things I wanted to stay the same,” he said quietly.

“Very noble of you. Hopefully karma will be on your side, then. To, you know, repay you for wanting to look out for everyone else like that,” she said, offering him a soft smile.

After that, they fell into casual chatter about all they had seen since last they’d spoken. He told her a bit more about finding and raising Kosmo, about how he still couldn’t get the wolf to grasp the concept of fetch. She had laughed and offered to help him. She had a dog at home that she had trained on all the most important of tricks, such as sit and stay and beg. Kosmo briefly lifted his head to stare at them, golden eyes gleaming as if to imply he didn’t appreciate them talking about him as if he weren’t there.

That had gotten a laugh out of both of them.

After that, she told him a little about what happened with the Castle of Lions after he’d gone after Shiro; about the code she’d designed to take their previous leader down, if the time ever came. He reassured her that, despite how awful she felt about it, there was nothing wrong with preparing for the worst. Sadly that was the name of the game with war, and sometimes to stay ahead they had to be ready for betrayals like that. It didn’t make her any less of a team player for being prepared; especially when it came to dealing with the Galra and their technology.

They rambled on a few more topics before she slumped against him, dozing off midsentence. He didn’t say anything and, instead, kept his voice quiet until he was sure she was out. He glanced down at her and then back up, his mind calling up another of the visions he’d had while out there. He and Pidge, snuggled up under a blanket on a couch, a fire roaring in a fireplace off to the side and a small toddler, no older than a year or so, snoozing in Pidge’s arms. Judging by the pink and purple he could see of the baby’s pajamas, he got the feeling that they were a little girl, with short strands of hair the same warm caramel color as Pidge’s. The house was unfamiliar to him, but he got the impression it was theirs. And, stretched out on the floor, playing an incredibly passionate game of Uno, were three bigger kids. The eldest among them was a girl, while the younger two were boys; all with dark hair, the oldest boy sporting the same violet eyes at Keith as well, and the girl and younger boy sporting Pidge’s bright honey eyes.

And he could see just by looking at himself, that his older self was incredibly happy. He hoped with all inside him, even with the things he planned to change, he would still get this. To be with someone he loved, to have the family he always wanted… He would give his everything to earn the life he always wanted.

To see what he had always wanted just within his future was all the push he needed.
