Pidge finds a Galra kit
Matt: So, did you get a chance to look over those sites I sent you (a bunch of space sites on Galra names and culture)?
Pidge: Yeah…I want to name him Bob.
Matt: …Are…are you sure…?
Pidge: Yup! He has an eyepatch!
Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Another college au one-shot, inspired by one of @allorana‘s headcanons (Hunay and Shallura are the only ships. PLEASE DO NOT TAG WITH OTHER SHIP TAGS)
It was a quiet enough evening at Shiro’s apartment. Most of the gang was there, minus Matt, who was staying late at the computer lab to finish a project. It was midterm season, and most of the group was studying. Hunk had finally invited Shay over so they could study for their Bio class together. He and Shay sat together on the couch, looking over their textbooks and filling out the study questions, occasionally quizzing each other.
The rest of the group couldn’t resist peeking at them and smirking once in a while, but only when they were sure Shay and Hunk weren’t looking. Shiro had his “proud dad” smile on, while Lance was grinning.
Hunk had had a crush on Shay since the beginning of the semester—a crush which the whole gang could tell was reciprocated. This study “date” was the first time that Hunk had made any type of move towards Shay. Getting Hunk to ask Shay to come over had taken some “fatherly” advice from Shiro, a pep talk from Allura, some flirting advice and suggestions of bad pick-up lines from Lance (which everyone had groaned at), and a blunt statement from Keith to “just ask her out already.”
Pidge indulged in another smirk. This study date was a good sign. Pidge usually didn’t care that much about other people’s romances, but if she could tell that two people liked each other, then they needed to just get together already.
But this was kind of boring. No romance-type thingeys were happening. They were honestly just studying for their test.
All of the sudden, Pidge got an idea. An awful idea. Pidge got a wonderful, awful idea.
She couldn’t resist. Every little sister, older-brother teasing impulse in her body was screaming at her not to pass up this opportunity.
She turned to Keith, who was reading next to her on the couch. She would have preferred Lance, the self-proclaimed Disney guru of the group, to help with this, but Lance would hopefully catch on soon enough. Besides, she was curious to see how Keith would react.
“I can see what’s happening,” she said, rather offhandedly.
“What?” Keith said, confused and distracted by his book. Pidge snickered.
“And they don’t have a clue!” she continued.
“Who doesn’t have a clue?” Keith said, looking up. He still hadn’t caught on.
Everyone else had though, including Hunk, who could smell a Disney song a mile away. His head shot up, and he glared at Pidge. “What are you-“
“They’ll fall in love, and here’s the bottom line, our trio’s down to two!” Pidge sang.
‘Wha-oh. OH.” Keith said, eyes widening. A sneaky grin lifted over his face. Pidge grinned as well.
“The sweet caress of twilight, there’s magic everywhere…” Pidge waved her hands, imitating Timon’s hand gestures. “And with all this romantic atmosphere-“
“DISASTER’S IN THE AIR!” belted Lance, like the dramatic Disney-loving, theater kid he was.
“Guys!” Hunk hissed. But his face was red. So was Shay’s.
“CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT?” Keith, Pidge, and Lance sang (Keith, admittedly, a lot quieter than the other two). “THE PEACE THE EVENING BRINGS-“
“Shut up!”
“THE WORLD FOR ONCE, IN PERFECT HARMONY, WITH ALL ITS LIVING THINGS---“
“SHIRO, MAKE THEM STOP!”
There was an awkward pause at the next part, the three looking at each other to figure out who should sing the next part. Lance had just opened his mouth, presumably to take over the part, when-
“So many things to tell her—“ Shiro’s smooth voice broke in. “But how to make her see?”
“SHIRO!” Hunk looked furious, and he was now beet red. But Shiro continued with the verse, with Lance looking rather startled that Shiro had so neatly stolen his chance for the spotlight. At the end, Allura decided to step in.
“He’s holding back, he’s hiding—“ she sang, walking over behind the couch that Hunk and Shay sat on, placing her hands on his shoulders. “And from what, I can’t decide. Why won’t he be the king I know he is, the king I see inside?”
“I swear I won’t make you guys dinner for the next TEN YEARS.”
“CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT, THE PEACE THE EVENING BRINGS—“ they all belted. They continued through the next couple of stanzas, all of them (except Keith) swaying. Hunk continued to complain and make various threats about not baking birthday cakes or cookies for varying amounts of time.
At the end, Pidge resumed her initial role as Timon. “And if he falls in love tonight, it can be assumed-“
Lance, seeing another chance to regain his Disney karaoke crown, broke in. “His carefree days, with us are history...”
Pidge and Lance sang the last line together. “IN SHORT OUR PAL, IS DOOMED…”
Pidge and Lance fell into each other’s arms, heaving dramatic fake sobs.
No one spoke, so Pidge glanced up. Shay was trying to hide a smile, even though she was blushing. And Hunk was still fuming on the couch, glaring at all of them and thus baring a rare-and uncanny- resemblance to Keith.
“You’re right, Lance.” said Keith, smirking again. “I am glad you guys forced me to watch The Lion King last week.”
MY CHILD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
I JUST TRIED TO WATCH THE 80S VOLTRON I GOT LIKE 3 MINUTES IN BEFORE CRYING AND LEAVING LMGORHMNSEOHK
Voltron College AU: A Magician Never Reveals
Thanks for all the support with my other college au oneshot! This one came about from @allorana‘s headcannon that in the college au Matt and Shiro continually walk into their apartment to find the rest of the Voltron gang casually lounging around.
“You’re going to open the door? My hands are kind of full.” Shiro nodded towards the six grocery bags he currently carried, three in each hand. He was still amazed at how well his prosthetic arm worked. Unlike most of the others, this one allowed him to hold and grip things amazingly well. Still, to be safe, he carried the heaviest bags with his good arm.
“No problem.” Matt said cheerily, and stuck his hands into his pockets. He looked confused. “Huh.” He then reached into his back pockets. An embarrassed look replaced the confused one. “Uh, Shiro…”
Shiro sighed. “I’ve got it.”
He carefully set the bags down, then grabbed the wallet from his coat pocket, sliding out the ID card it contained. “One of these days, I’m not going to be around to let you in, you know. You’ve got to start remembering your card.”
“Ok, Dad.”
Shiro swiped the card in the scanner. The tiny light flashed green, and an audible click could be heard. Matt reached for the door while Shiro turned around to pick up the grocery bags.
“WHAT THE—“
Shiro jumped at Matt’s yelp, nearly knocking over one of the grocery bags. Whirling around, he raced into the apartment to see what had caused Matt’s surprise.
He barely bit back a yelp himself when he saw all his friends casually reclining in his apartment in their usual spots: Pidge on the couch on her laptop, with Keith sitting on the opposite end, Lance sprawled on the other couch, chomping on one of Matt’s apples, and Hunk furiously mixing something in Shiro’s big green bowl in the kitchen. Only Allura was missing from the group. She was probably being held up at her TA job.
“Hi Shiro,” Lance said casually, taking another bite of the apple.
“How the heck did you guys get in?” Shiro demanded. “It’s a key card system! You can’t just break into someone’s apartment!”
“Break in’s a strong term.” Pidge stated, eyes not lifting from her laptop.
“I’m sorry, Shiro, it was really cold out there, and you weren’t home, and you guys weren’t answering your phones—I said we should wait for you, but everyone voted against me, and Pidge—did you guys buy any more chocolate chips? I need another bag for the cookies.”
“Katie,” said Matt, folding his arms. “What did you do? Steal my card?”
Pidge snorted. “As if I needed to resort to pickpocketing to get into a lame security system.”
“Pidge…” Shiro said, putting a hand over his face. Half of him was mad of Pidge for breaking into his apartment—that was a crime, for crying out loud!—while the other half wanted to laugh. He also wondered how Pidge had pulled it off. Her talent with technology was beyond impressive.
It was also apparently turning her to the dark side.
Matt sat himself next to Pidge on the couch, and started talking to her, too quietly for Shiro to hear what he was saying. It looked like Shiro wouldn’t have to give the with-great-power-comes-great-responsibility lecture for once. Matt was taking care of it for him.
What Shiro didn’t know was that Matt was not cautioning Pidge to use her great powers wisely. The opposite in fact. “Impressive, Katie. Did you use a code to bypass or did you rewire it? Can you show me? I keep forgetting my card and it would be nice to have another way to get into the apartment.”
Pidge smirked at him. “A magician never reveals her secrets.”
Pidge: I wish I was a dinosaur.
Matt: Why? Cause they're big and scary?
Pidge: Because they're dead.
allura: keith! we do not use curse words in this castle! there are children present
pidge in the distance: FUCK!
