“We’re not leaving without her.” Shiro stood tall as he looked at each and every member of their team. (Y/N) had been taken by the Galra Empire when she had distracted them to allow Shiro enough time to escape. He was beating himself up over the fact you got taken, but he would do anything to get you back.....because he hadn’t told you how he felt about you yet.
You’re jolted awake from a deep sleep by the sound of someone screaming.
Heart pounding frantically, you sit upright and turn to the man sleeping beside you. Shiro is wrapped in the bedsheet, his face pale and sweaty as he tosses and writhes. Another pained noise escapes his mouth, though luckily it’s not as loud and panic-inducing as his first cry.
“Shiro!” You carefully grab his shoulder and shake him. “Wake up!”
He groans and tries to pull away from you, eyes still closed as he battles demons of his subconscious. But with your repeated efforts, he eventually opens his eyes with a gasp.
“Hey, it’s okay,” you tell him. His eyes are wide and he stares straight ahead; you’re sure he’s not seeing the walls of your bedroom, the faint glow of the nightlight. He’s back in the prison or the arena or the medical torture chamber, reliving his worst nightmares.
“Shiro?” You don’t want to startle him, but the look of incomprehension and terror on his face is breaking your heart. Slowly you rest a gentle hand on his arm; nevertheless he flinches at the touch, but at least when he looks at you his eyes are focused.
“It’s all right. It was only a dream.” Your thumb rubs soothing circles against his skin. “You’re here with me. You’re safe.”
“Safe.” He barely breathes the word.
The next instant, there are tears running down his face and he pulls you to him, pressing his face against your shoulder as silent sobs shake his very core.
“It’s all right, Shiro. Sweetheart. Love. It’s all over now. You survived. You’re free.”
But all the comforting words in the world won’t stop the hurt that has already been done to him. Even his arms, shaking as he clings to you, remind you both of what he’s been through. Physical scars are hard enough to heal; mental ones are even longer lasting.
You wrap your arms around Shiro and rest your head atop his. He needs to cry and release all the pent up fear and pain that he tries so hard to hide from the others. Here in your bed he’s safe to be just Shiro -- not the Black Paladin, not a star pilot, not the invincible leader of Voltron. Just Shiro, just a lonely human far from home, desperate for someone to be gentle with him.
You press a kiss against his undercut and nuzzle closer to him.
“I’m sorry,” he says at last, voice still wet. He reluctantly pulls away from you and sits up, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. “Didn’t mean to wake you like this.”
“Don’t,” you admonish. “There’s nothing to apologize for. I just wish...I wish there was more I could do to help. But all the love in the universe won’t undo the past.” You sigh sadly and reach out for him again.
Shiro takes your hand and holds it gently. “You do enough for me. Please believe it. Waking up like this -- if I was alone, without you, I’d be so scared and lost. But you’re always here to wake me up from the nightmares and guide me back to reality, and you never complain about lost sleep or anything else. I’m so glad to have you with me.” He gives you a smile, small and trembling, but genuine.
You squeeze his hand. “I want to help you; that’s all I’ve ever wanted. I’m glad that you trust me enough to let me try and help.” It can’t be easy for him, letting someone see him so vulnerable, and you treasure the amount of love that he must have for you.
“I wouldn’t have anyone else,” he answers. “You’re the guiding light that shows me the way back to who I want to be.”
“And you’re the reason that I’ve shone so brightly, since the very first kiss.” You touch his face with your free hand, tracing the tear tracks, skating across his scar, finally cupping his jaw and pulling him toward you.
“Thank you for always being here,” he murmurs in the moment before your lips touch. The kiss is slow and sweet, tender and reassuring.
Shiro sighs when you pull away, but you can see the exhaustion creeping into his expression.
“It’s only a little after midnight,” you say, glancing at the clock. “Do you feel like trying to sleep again? Or is there something else?”
“I’ll sleep.” He looks apprehensive at the thought, but he’s too tired for anything else. He lies down again, on his side facing you. “Could you...hold my hand?”
He doesn’t have to ask twice. You lie down facing him, so close you can touch foreheads and share each other’s quiet breaths. Taking his left hand in both of yours, you bring it up to your mouth and graze a kiss along the knuckles.
“Go to sleep,” you tell him. “I’ll be here when you wake up. Promise.”
His eyelids flutter and slowly, slowly his breathing evens out into a steady rhythm. His face relaxes and you press your lips to his forehead.
“Sweet dreams, my love. I’ll never leave your side.”

You gasped as your back came in contact with the training room floor. A small amount of pain flashed through your body, along with disappointment. The person above you mumbled ‘shit’ before leaning over you.
“Damn are you okay baby? I didn’t mean to go that hard.” Shiro helped you up and you shook your head. “It’s okay Takashi, you know that I don’t want you going easy on me.” Disappointment was threaded in your tone as you pulled away from his touch.
Shiro frowned and slipped his hand into yours. “Don’t beat yourself up, you’re training hard [F/n].”
Shaking your head you pulled your hand back. “I’m okay, I’m just going to go get some water from the kitchen.” You mumbled before leaving the training room. Making a straight-shot for the kitchen, after entering you didn’t notice Keith coming in behind you.
You filled up a glass and chugged it down before setting it down aggressively. Keith’s eyebrow cocked up. “You okay [F/n]?”
You looked over your shoulder before back down into your glass. “I’m just...frustrated.”
“About?”
“I can’t beat Shiro in sparring. He constantly beats me and I just want to prove I can handle myself to him….Not that Shiro makes me feel like I can’t but I want to prove it to myself too.” You babbled on as Keith listened.
He thought for a moment before stepping toward you. “I can help you train if you want? Shiro’s taught me most everything I know.” You whipped around to face him. “You’d do that?” Keith nodded and you grinned before wrapping your arms around him excitedly. “Thank you thank you thank you!” Keith stiffened from your hug before pulling away awkwardly. He cleared his voice, blushing slightly before nodding and turning to leave.
During the next following days, you’d get up before Shiro and meet Keith in the training room. The other paladins were suspicious when they’d find you both awake before anyone else but ultimately shrugged it off. Shiro was the most surprised, sometimes he wouldn’t even feel you get out of bed, while normally he’s the first one up.
This went on for about a month before Shiro was able to catch you slipping out in the morning. He wasn’t sleeping very soundly that night and felt the blankets shift and you gently removing his arms from around your waist. You slipped out of his arms and he felt your lips press to his cheek and heard you whisper ‘I love you, sleep well’ before leaving your shared room.
When he heard the door shut, Shiro groaned a little and pushed himself to sit up. He pushed the covers off and rubbed his eyes, grabbing his shirt from where he hung it over the bed and pulling it on before following you out the door.
He quietly walked the halls until he heard grunting coming from the training room. His eyebrow quirked up before he peered around the doorway. He saw you blocking Keith’s punches and countering his attacks. Sweat was already dripping down your face as you started to go on the offensive. Keith blocked your attacks but seemed to be having trouble keeping up with before you found an opening and swept his feet out from under him, sending Keith onto his back.
You were panting as he rubbed his neck. “Damn, well done [F/n] you’re really getting this.”
You smiled and helped him up. “Thanks so much for this help Keith. Do you think I’m ready to take on Shiro yet?” Keith gave a ghost of a smile before nodding, “I think you can handle your own against him.”
“Really?!”
“Yeah. Lets keep going and later you can spar with him.” Keith squared up again. You nodded and got into a fighting position before springing at him.
Shiro watched as you continued to train hard with his younger brother. Giving 110% in order to get better. A proud smile graced his face before he retreated back to your shared bedroom. He slipped back into bed and relaxed into the mattress, excited to see how you’d spar later.
Later that day, after the paladins finished their team bonding, you approached Shiro and wrapped your arms around his waist from behind. He smiled over his shoulder at you as his hand stroked your arm. “You busy?” Asking as your chin rested against his back.
Shiro shook his head. “Not at all, what’s up?”
“Wanna spar?”
Shiro smirked and turned to face you. “I’d love to.”
After that you both headed to the training room and onto the sparring mat. Shiro got into his stance as you got into yours. A deep breath entered and escaped your lungs as your eyes focused on him. Shiro made the first move and threw a punch at you.
However, you easily dodged his attack and stepped back before swinging your leg to kick him. Shiro caught it and tried to throw you off balance however you jumped and kicked him in the chest with your other foot. This knocked him back and gave you time to recover. The shocked expression on his face made you smirk as confidence radiated off you.
Shiro had never seen you like this and to be honest he loved it. Grinning he squared up again and charged at you.
After a mix of blocks, punches, and kicks it all ended with Shiro on his back and you pinning him to the mat. You both were panting but after he couldn’t break your pin and tapped out, you jumped up and cheered.
“Yes!” You did a little happy dance. “I beat you! I beat you in sparring! I did it!”
Shiro chuckled and got up. “I guess you did, well done. Is this why you’ve been sparring with Keith?” You blushed and paused your dance. “You knew that’s what we were doing?”
He chuckled, “I saw you this morning.”
Your blush deepened and you rubbed your arm. “I guess it paid off. Are you mad?” Shiro shook his head and took your hand to pull you into his chest. “Why would I be mad?” You shrugged and let your arms wrap around his neck. “That I didn’t tell you.”
Shiro sighed as his grey eyes searched yours for a moment. Soon he leaned in and pressed his lips to yours. They stayed connected for a few seconds before he pulled away and pressed his forehead to yours. “No I’m not mad. I’m proud of you.”
“You are?”
He nodded and kissed you again. “I am, I’m very proud of you. Plus, you kicking my ass is kinda sexy.” He swayed with you in his arms, his lips teasing yours. “Oh really?” You smirked and nipped at his chin. Shiro smirked and pulled away to take your hand and lead you out of the room. Completely missing Keith who was standing outside the sparring room, both proud that you beat Shiro but scarred from seeing you two make-out and basically witness your foreplay.

could we get some shiro hc for when he's proposing to his s/o?? like what he's feeling, how he'll do it etc some fluffy feels are much appreciated
I’m crying rn bc I got to imagine Shiro proposing, thank you so much for this gift! Also, this is quite long because Shiro has a master plan and it involves everyone.
Shiro is a determined man, the moment he decided he wanted tomarry you it was all he could think about. And when Shiro sets out to dosomething, he does it right·
He shows up to your room the night before and tells you thateveryone has the day off tomorrow since they’re going to be orbiting near aswap moon and he wants to take you out.
but he’s nervous
“I-if you want, we could go on a date? Like a real, real date??……Not that our other dates aren’t real dates! Of course they’re real But, uh, would you like to go on a fancy one? With me? …Your…boyfriend….??”
He’s blushing and looking very much like he would rather curl up and hide and it makes you laugh. You agree to go on a date (of course, you’ve been dating forever) and settle on an afternoon date, giving you time to hang out with the other paladins.
and to find a nice outfit bc you two never get to go anywhere nice and goddammit you are going to wear something other than the pants and t-shirt you were stolen with
You spend the next morning with Lance, who for some reason isdetermined to have a spa day with just the two of you. He’s like really adamantabout.
“I need a buddy, Y/N! Pidge and Keith don’t even know spas exist!”
“Ok, but what about Hunk? Or Allura?” You chide, removing Lance’s long limbs from your neck.
“Allura is flawless and I can’t believe you would even suggest that. And Hunk is super ticklish and the last time he got a pedicure he nearly kicked the girl in the face. I almost got kicked out of my favorite salon!”
You were giving him a hard time but hell yeah, spa day!! It was great, you got massaged, you got steamed, your skin was perfected (crazy aliens man) and the lovely ladies managed to get your hair so soft that you couldn’t stop touching it.
Everyone met for lunch,except Shiro. You pouted but Keith assured you he was just occupied withplanning for your date
You spent the afternoonwith Allura, picking out shiny things and trying to find the perfect outfit
You can’t help but think that she knows something about your date that you don’t because she keeps making comments about your outfits that just don’t fit for the situation
“No, not that one. You want this to be memorable!”
“This is an important night in your life, and you want to wear that? I do not think so.”
“*sigh* Not that one. It won’t match.” Match what, Allura? Match WHAT???
“This one! It will make sure Shiro holds on you to. And never let’s go.” Her wink at the end of that one weirds you out. Did she mean to do that?
She’s right though. It’s a simple dress that drapes over your body like you’re a Grecian goddess and it moves and looks like smoke. It may not be your usual thing (or maybe it is) but you love it.
You happen to not see Hunk, Pidge, Keith or Coran for the restof the day, which is strange since you see them every day and you kind of missthem.
You don’t see Shiro at all until he knocks on your door thatnight.His eyes light up when they see you and he just gazes at you before hefinally lets out a nervous chuckle and rubs the back of his neck. “Y-youlook beautiful, Y/N. I mean - You always look beautiful, but wooooow. Just,wow.”
He takes your hand, gives it a kiss, and twirls you around once to get a 360 degree view. He whistles and twirls you again, making you laugh as he finally draws you in for a warm hug and a gentle kiss.
He’s wearing a simple grey long-sleeve button up with the sleeves rolled up and black slacks. Simple, but with his hair slicked back he looks like some sort of corporate CEO and it’s kind of hot
You two walk hand in hand to the Black Lion’s bay. You arch your eyebrows questioningly and Shiro tells you that you two need to travel for a bit but don’t worry, there’s a wormhole involved so it won’t take long
you allow Shiro to blindfold you before entering Black
“I want where we’re going to be a surprise. And I know you well enough to know you can’t resist a peek if I don’t blindfold you.” Damn him
Feeling Black take off and go through a wormhole can best be described as: Fucking Terrifying. Since you’re blindfolded, you’re aware of every slight turn, bump, and movement of the metal beast around you and you become acutely aware of how tiny you are. Luckily, Shiro notices your near panic attack and reaches over to hold your hand. You notice he’s shaky too and his palms are a bit sweaty but he caresses the back of your hand like nothing is wrong and you immediately begin to calm down.
When you finally land (a soft landing you note) Shiro carefully steers you out of Black and down the ramp with gentle hands on your waist
you can feel sand under your feet and can hear waves
it’s a little warm and you’re thankful for a dress that breathes. You vaguely wonder if Shiro will unbutton his shirt, because that would be great
When he removes your blindfold you are startled by what you see
a violet sky with two pale orange moons and a glittering belt of starts
a deep purple lake so large it has waves that crash along a black shore
and you seem to be in a crater surrounded by vibrant green mountains and silver trees and the soft breeze smells faintly of cinnamon
You turn around to tell Shiro how beautiful this place is and you see him kneeling on one knee in the sand. He’s blushing and clearly nervous and you feel yourself swallowing hard because there is only one reason why Shiro would be in that position
He clears his throat, taking a deep breath before steeling himself for what’s to come.
“Y/N, my beautiful Y/N. I’ve had a lot happen to me in my twenty-five years of life. I’ve gotten top grades throughout high school, a full-ride scholarship to the garrison, became the best fighter pilot in my class, and I’ve adopted a little brother. I’ve been kidnapped, tortured, and forced to become not only an arena fighter, but a defender of the universe and the leader of a amazing team of teenagers that can still somehow pilot the universe’s greatest weapon. But absolutely none of that compares to you. You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Y-you’ve accepted me for what I was, what I’ve become, and still everyday you push me to be a better person. I-I still have nightmares about the Galra, terrible nightmares that leave me broken b-but with you…I’m no longer afraid. With you at my side, Y/N, I can do anything, save everything, and overcome any obstacle in my way…..Y/N? Will you do me the honor of being my wi-ife?”
his voice cracks on his last word as he opens the small box in his hand, and you can barely make out a simple silver ring inlaid with a small amethyst, diamond, and your birthstone through your tears (and Shiro’s shaking hand)
You can’t speak. You can’t think. It’s all you can do to just fling yourself around Shiro’s neck and chant “Yes, yes, yes,” over and over again while peppering his face in kisses
He’s sobbing right with you, holding you tight to him and smiling, accepting every kiss
After a few moments of sobbing, Shiro finally slides the ring onto your finger and it looks so perfect you start crying again and he does his best to wipe your tears away, and kissing your cheeks while murmuring ‘I love you’ over and over
when you two pull away Shiro just stares in awe at his ring on your finger
he hoped you would say yes and now that you have he almost can’t believe it
He kisses the ring and murmurs under his breath, “You’re my fiancee.” A moment of silence before he scoffs and repeats it again, louder this time, “You’re my fiancee! You’re going to be my wife!” He looks like a little kid, he’s so excited.
He really can’t get over it and for the rest of the night he just keeps looking at you like you’re a gift from the universe itself, and maybe you are.
You two spend a few hours stargazing on a blanket, identifying new constellations, creating stories for them, and otherwise just enjoying each others company
wine is involved (thank you Coran, you gorgeous man)
occasionally you hold your hand up so you two can admire the ring
and you both really enjoy using the word fiancee in every possible way.
you only return when you start to complain to Shiro that you’re hungry
Here’s what you don’t know:
Determined to make you have a wonderful day, Shiro asks Lance to treat you to some sort of self-care. He was thinking just a massage but Lance knows how to treat a girl right.
Shiro also asked Allura for her blessing and if she would officiate the wedding since back on Earth ship captains can do that. She agrees, on the condition that she dresses you both. She chose Shiro’s outfit earlier in the day.
Shiro is eternally grateful for that because he might be panicking now and probably would have just worn what he usually does
Coran and Pidge made the ring. Shiro doesn’t ask how, just only accepted their help when he asked Coran if jewelers exist in space.
Thanks to Pidge, those are real gemstones. She will never tell how she turned space dust into gemstones.
It was a process that took a long time though. The ring was only finished right before Shiro came to pick you up
He was anxiously pacing the entire afternoon and if you look at his nails you can see where he began absentmindedly chewing them
Hunk and Keith offered to help Shiro make a nice dinner for you two but Shiro was determined to make it himself because “It needs to be made from the heart. I want her to know how serious I am.”
“Yeah, ok, Shiro I’ve tasted your cooking and I’m being generous when I say you are the worst cook on Earth.” Thanks Keith.
Hunk tried. Oh God, did he try. He ended up shoving Shiro out of his kitchen with the promise of a feast when he returned with a fiancee.
Keith was Shiro’s number one confidant and he is so thankful that Keith was there
talking to Keith really gave Shiro the confidence boost he needed. Shiro really just needed to hear someone else say that you would obviously say yes.
Keith’s exact words were: “You two were made for each other Shiro. If I were ever to fall in love with somebody…*sigh* I would want a relationship like yours.”
Shiro cried, he was so touched.
Shiro had one breakdown because he couldn’t find a perfect place to propose and everyone else’s ideas just seem too plain. He ended up going to Black and just ranting and raving about how much he loved you and wanted to do something perfect for you but “Goddammit! I can’t even do this right! How can she love someone so fucking useless?!”
Black activates and picks him up before jumping to space. She’s the one who found the purple planet and Shiro is eternally grateful.
They spent more time together just so Black could comfort him because she may be just a semi-sentient lion, but she knows love when she sees it
Before he came to you room, everyone met him in the main control room to congratulate him and wish him luck
both Pidge and Allura kissed him on the cheek
Hunk got everyone to group hug
Lance told Shiro to treat you right, because you deserved the universe
Keith and Coran basically shoved him out into the hallway so he would stop stalling
When you two come back from the alien planet, there will be banners everywhere congratulating you, confetti, awful Altean music, and a delicious feast
everyone knew you would say yes. Only Shiro had concerns
Speaking of Shiro
he was internally screaming the entire time, convinced you would say no and dump him (thanks anxiety)
he almost backed out a few days ago but Keith managed to convince him to go through with it on pain of death with minimal persuasion
when you said yes it was legit the happiest moment of his life and well worth the like 3 weeks of near panic he was in

HC for Shiro falling hard for a female human- Galra hybrid bounty hunter?
Sure!
The two of them met (again) while Shiro was looking for the Black Bayard.
She was looking for the Black Lion and its paladin and used the Bayard to bait him into a trap.
However, she wasn’t fully prepared for what she was going to find
She remembered Shiro from his time in Zarkon’s Gladiator Arena
She was particularly fond of him and went easier on him during her turn as guard for the prisoner cells.
Though she was a ruthless bounty hunter, she opened up to Shiro about being a Galran/Human and always wanting to prove herself. He listened to her vent and she listen to him talk about his time on Earth.
She indirectly played a hand in helping him escape by making sure she was occupied when Ulaz freed him.
She never thought they’d meet again
And she was the last person Shiro expected to be here as well
Shiro had fallen pretty hard for her while he captured.
Admittedly, it was on the stranger side to fall in love with your captor but Shiro felt like she was different.
He used her stunned state to escape and head back to the castle.
After that, Shiro could barely get her out of his mind.
Also, he knew that he couldn’t tell the others, especially not Allura
He didn’t know what they’d say if they found out he had fallen in love with someone like her.
However, he made it his underlying mission to free her from the Galran Empire and he’d do anything to make sure it happened.
I feel like this would be a great story but thanks for the request! ^.^
The Paladins Reacting To You Getting Hurt In Battle Would Include..
I DO NOT OWN THE GIF
PROMPT?: hello! i friggin love your blog. do you think you could do a would include for the voltron paladins, how they would react to you getting hurt in battle/captured?? sorry if it's a bad explanation, i haven't really requested for much ahah. thank you so much!
A/N: An option for allura lovers! yay! And hell yeh i added dad Coran. Also this is my first one in this format so be kind? and these all surround the same kind of injury!
WARNINGS: gender neutral!! pain mention?? cursing
SHIRO: When he hears your body hit the alien dirt, Shiro loses all patience. He orders all the other paladins to start kicking ass and runs to your noodle body. Although he knows it’s probably bad, he would start cradling your neck and wrap his other available arm around your midsection and nervously smile down at you. He would laugh and brush away any dirt or stray hairs. And once you got back to the castle, he would attend to your every need, even the smallest pillow fluff. Lots of “Shiro, I can walk-” “Nope, crutches.” and “Shiro, I’m breathing. You can go to bed.” but he would stay there anyway. He would keep you from fighting for at least a week. And lots of nose kisses once he feels your ‘frail and fragile’ body could handle it.
PIDGE: Once you’re taken out of battle, Pidge’s fighting power like.. triples. She finishes it for you. She will make sure that whatever hurts you, pays for it. Most of the paladins get out of the way once the news gets over the com that you’re hurt. And once she’s pulled away from kicking the enemy and berating it, she runs endless medical tests on you. Space CAT Scans and going into the castle healing pods for at least three hours a day until even the pod rejects you. She will hang out with you and make you soup and bring you water if you even look the least bit dehydrated. She will block off a good portion of the lounge so Lance and Keith have to sit on the last three feet of the couch. No one says anything. They’re afraid.
KEITH: Keith takes charge because Shiro would pull you out of the fight area. His voice would get very gravelly and blunt, but it’s mostly because he’s scared. You’re the only person he honestly really likes here, other than Shiro. What if you got seriously hurt? Who’d he talk to? Lance? He would shake his head and keep fighting until the second he got back on the ground with you. His lion’s mouth would open and he’d run out, sprinting to you, not stopping until his hand was touching your breathing body. And he wouldn’t leave your side. If anyone got within two feet of you, he’d growl and step a little closer to you, protecting the sensitive sides of your body. He would sleep with you, maybe not cuddling if you were still hurting but he’d be there.
LANCE: For once, Lance doesn’t make a joke. For a moment, the paladins are worried because he stops talking and seemingly, the leg stops moving. He’s distracted, it’s obvious. The second you hit the foreign floor, the mood of Voltron changed drastically. They would finish whatever what happening, and everyone came to your rescue immediately after quick congratulations were given for defeating yet another enemy. Lance would walk slowly, trying not to seem too worried but inside, he’s screaming. And once he’s finally close enough, he cracks the first joke. “Does your back hurt? You’re acting kinda disc hurteous.” “Lance, I could actually kill you.” He breathes deeply for the first time since you got hurt and actually grins. “Come on! It’s humerus!” Everyone groans but you’re laughing. That’s all that matters.
HUNK: Hunk is a big babbling baby trying to keep it together. He very thoroughly cares for you and everyone knows that. And when you get hurt badly for the first time, it’s hard for him not to vomit out of nervousness. He would stop for a moment before realizing he has to keep fighting or he’ll be on the ground with you, and then he can’t even make a dumb joke to make you laugh. So the second you get out of the healing pod, you basically just walk over to Hunk and fall straight on him in a sloppy hug. He almost dies from happiness. He’ll stay with you every night (per your request) and just smile, knowing that the vomit feeling can go away.
CORAN: Once one of the guys carries you back in, you get berated up and down by the ginger. (?) “(y/n), you could’ve gotten seriously hurt out there! What would the other paladins have done if you weren’t so close to winning! Nevermind, where does it hurt?” And he would wrap every one of your wounds in bandages with ultimate care and goofy grins every time you wince. He becomes even more Dad™ than Shiro could ever wish to be. He will baby you with small lectures about your posture to heal your concussion faster, etc. But at the end of the day, he will jokingly tuck you in and place a kiss to your forehead, much to the other paladins joy for new things to make fun of you about.
ALLURA: Allura loses it when she finds out you got hurt. She would hear your com go quiet and start yelling, asking for answers and if looks could kill, every time you got hurt, Coran would be dead. Until someone answers, her heart beats incredibly fast and her entire body is tense. She really isn’t okay until she sees you live and breathing. She will permanently take you off every and all missions until you can perform every paladin training test with ease. This is also the time that everyone realizes that you’re definitely her favorite and when questioned about it, she very cleanly and classily disposes of any thought. But everyone knows. She loves you.
