How would the paladins react with getting their wisdom teeth out, both right after surgery and a few days down the road?
I firmly believe Hunk would be terrified beforehand and sleepy afterwards. He’d be hard to wake and hard to convince to move, because his body feels like it’s not moving the way it should, it all feels kind of disconnected. A few days later, he’d probably be grumpy as hell, because his face hurts and he doesn’t like the gauze in his mouth and he hates that he’s talking a little weird because of the gauze, but he’d be easy to please by Lance and Pidge putting on a movie and Lance dramatically draping himself across Hunk’s lap.
Lance would be the kind of person that gets all existential. Lots of “Why are we here” and “Who am I” questions. He would want smoothies. Lots of smoothies. Too many smoothies, Lance. Please chill. He’d be whiny, because his face hurts and his jaw feels weird and it’s giving him a headache. He’d be clingy and super dramatic about it, and probably push one of the others into losing their minds entirely.
Pidge is the kind of person that you’d say something to her and IMMEDIATELY she’d try to prove you wrong. Even if you were right. Even if what you said made no sense. Even if the words she’s saying and the theories she’s quoting are barely even English. Even if you’d just commented on how blue the sky looked and she’d gone off about the distance between Earth and Mars and how long it would take to get there, along with gravitational factors and God only knows what else, because even the Castle’s translator can’t handle that. And then a few days later, she’d be dead to the world. Just asleep. Only waking up for jello.
Keith hides. He nearly makes it out of getting them out, just by stalling long enough that he thinks he’ll miss the appointment, but Shiro and Pidge team up and get him out of his hiding spot. Afterwards, he’s, as always, 100% down to fight everyone. He’s barely standing straight, so they don’t take his threats seriously. Yes, Keith, we know you could kick the ass of every single surgeon in this room, but that’s illegal and you’re drugged, so how about we not do that, yeah? And then he gets quiet. He’s quiet and broody. And irritated. He is offended by the existence of jello. Pudding, though, that’s more his speed.
Shiro would insist on not being a bother to anyone, because he can clearly take care of himself on his own. No, the painkillers aren’t affecting him that bad, he insists, as he nearly faceplants onto the floor when he tries to get up. He’s constantly apologizing, but once he finally settles, he’s grateful. And then embarrassed, even though the others repeatedly tell him not to be. And then he insists he’s fine. He insists so much that when he gets an infection, Hunk nearly has to princess carry him out the door just so he’ll shut up and go. Pidge totally has pictures as proof. She makes a poster with one and gives it to Shiro for Christmas. He is not amused.
