S/O Who Needs Comfort After Their Family Has Treated Them Badly

Shiro

Shiro is headed to the training deck to practice when, to his surprise, he sees you already training in there.

He’s bewildered as to why you’re here right now when your usual routine was to practice in the morning.

Shiro also can’t help but notice that each swing of yours is much more aggressive than usual, whilst simultaneously being less co-ordinated than normal.

After some observation, it’s evident that you’re venting anger, rather than practicing your technique.

Cautiously walking up you, Shiro calls out your name to make his presence known before asking you if you’re okay.

“Hey, (Y/N). Um...are you okay?”

“Uh- I’m fine, I’m just trying to- I’m just trying to concentrate okay?”

Everything about your body language betrays the exterior that you’re trying so hard to maintain - from your rigid stance, to the way you refuse to form eye contact with Shiro.

Your facade inevitably crumbles and you drop your sword in defeat. Tears streaming down your face, you collapse onto your knees and weep into cupped hands.

“Family...who needs them anyway?”

Clicking immediately that something must’ve gone awry with your family, Shiro runs over to you. Kneeling in front of you, he embraces you tightly.

“Hey hey, it’s okay. I’m here.”

You cling to him as you cry into his shoulder. Once your sobs become less frequent and soften, Shiro asks you if you would like to talk about it - to which your shake your head in response.

Respecting your wishes and not wanting to push you, he nods solemnly and takes your hand to help you up from the ground.

As it’s getting late, he asks you if you would like to sleep in his room with him tonight.

Craving intimacy right now, you take him up on his offer and you go to bed that night snuggled up close to his chest. 

As you lay in bed together, he soothes you to sleep by running his fingers gently up and down your back and delicately kissing your forehead.

Unbeknown to you, Shiro himself did not sleep a wink until he was certain that you had been able to fall asleep.

Keith

Upon returning from a mission with the Blade of Marmora, Keith flops onto his bed feeling drained and exhausted.

Just as he’s found a comfortable position, he hears a faint knocking at his door.

“Ugh, are you kidding me..” he mutters under his breath as he hauls himself back up from his bed. Answering the door with furrowed eyebrows, his expression softens when he sees you standing outside his room with downcast eyes.

Wiping your eyes dry, you ask him if you can come in. Keith then stands aside to let you in and closes the door behind you.

Lifting your chin up to get a closer look at you, he demands to know what’s happened.

It’s astonishing how quickly Keith manages to rile himself up over the sheer thought of someone upsetting you.

He swears to himself that he’ll literally kill Lance if this was down to his own stupidity.

“Well, I um sorta...had an argument with my family earlier today...and it’s really gotten to me.”

Keith’s demeanor softens and he pulls you into his chest - resting his chin on top of your head. “I’m sorry to hear that, (Y/N)...I’m here for you now though.”

A feeling of guilt gnaws at you for complaining about your family to him. You couldn’t help but worry that your complaining was a slap in the face to him. You then start apologising profusely to him. 

“Don’t worry about me, (Y/N). All that matters right now is your happiness.”

As blunt and aloof as Keith could be to people at times, he was truly an angel underneath. His selflessness really knew no bounds.

“(Y/N)? You know that I love you, right?” 

Taken aback, you blush and hide your head in his chest. “I-I love you too, Keith.”

The tender moment the two of you were sharing is then comically interrupted by Keith letting out a yawn, making you giggle. Remembering that he had literally just gotten back in from a mission, you ask him if he would like to take a nap with you.

And how could he possibly refuse?

Lance

On days where Lance struggles with being away from home, he seeks comfort by watching the stars at the bridge of the ship - reminiscing over fond memories of Earth.

Today is one of said days, so he’s on his way to the bridge. As Lance enters, he sees you standing at the far end with your arms crossed. It seems like you had the same idea as him.

You were so preoccupied with your thoughts that you didn’t notice Lance sneaking up behind you, planning on making you jump. Without warning, you felt a pair of hands suddenly grasp at your waist.

You knew it could only be one person grabbing your waist, however you still couldn’t hold back a loud yelp.

“No Lance, please!...not right now.”

“Oh, um...I was just playing around...is everything okay (Y/N)?”

Trying to compose yourself, you wipe your eyes and clear your throat.

“I, um...my family and I kinda had an argument earlier.”

Lance is taken aback as he had previously assumed you had a close relationship with your family, based on how warm and friendly you were with everyone.

Needless to say, he’s a little lost for words on what to say as he was close with his own family. He’s also very conscious of the fact that jokes weren’t going to help either of you right now. 

His lack of response makes you shrug and mumble. “Oh well, this isn’t exactly the first time my family has treated me like shit...”

“(Y/N) listen...I  don’t know if what I’m about to say is going to be of any help but--what I mean is...I know I’m not your family...but if you ever need someone, I’m always here for you...you know that right? If you ever need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to listen to you...I’m here...always.”

You turned to face Lance who was staring at you intently. It was rare to see such a somber expression on Lance’s face. In fact, you had to turn away from him briefly to avoid blushing. who knew he could be so romantic?

Lacing your fingers with Lances, you take his hand and smile affectionately at him. “Thank you, Lance. And by the way, you are my family.”

Staring out into space and gazing at the ocean of stars together, the universe suddenly felt a lot less lonely.

Hunk

One evening, Hunk is on his way into the kitchen for a little late night snack - tip-toeing around the castle from his room to make sure he doesn’t wake anyone up.

Once he reaches the kitchen, he’s confused to see that the lights are still on.

“Please don’t be an intruder”.

Upon entering the kitchen and seeing that it was only you, his worries dissipate and relief washes over him.

Upon close inspection however, he panics again when he notices that your head is slumped against the counter. Did you fall asleep here?

He gently shakes your shoulder to wake you up. Sluggishly lifting your head up, you reveal puffy and blood shot eyes from were you had been crying before falling asleep.

"(Y/N), what’s wrong? Why are you asleep in the kitchen?”

"I-uh, um...had an arguement with my family earlier...I originally came here to find something to eat to maybe cheer myself up. But I guess I fell asleep.”

Pained to see such sadness in your eyes, Hunk tries to quickly think of anything that he can do to comfort you. There is one way...

"...Do you wanna bake something to help take your mind of it?”

“Bake? Right now? What if we wake everybody else up?”

“We’ll be quiet, I promise! What’s your favourite kind of cake?”

You both spend the night baking your favourite kind of cake together. Hunk initially struggled to get you on board with the idea. It didn’t take that long however before Hunk’s warm eyes and compassionate smile had you pushing the argument to the back of your mind and helping him out.

Once the cake was done, you both grabbed a plate and fork and began to have a heart-to-heart.

After an initial conversation about family life, Hunk opens up about feeling like he’s gained a second family since becoming a paladin. Whenever he’s misses Earth, he thinks about how grateful he is to have such wonderful friends and an amazing partner to help him through it.

Touched by his words, you reflect on all the love and support that Hunk and the other paladins have given you during your time in space. You too have gained another family.

Once you’ve both finished eating, he walks you back to your bedroom and tucks you into bed - wishing you sweet dreams and gently kissing your forehead.

Pidge

After an exhausting day of tinkering with the green lion, Pidge is on her way to your room - eager to unwind with you.

She knocks at your door. A few seconds pass before she hears a strained voice call out “who is it?”

“It’s only me! Can I come in?”

Whilst not entirely certain, Pidge could’ve sworn that she heard a fatigued sigh before you apathetically answered for her to come in.

She comes into your room to find you sitting in the dark playing a video game and sitting crossed-legged on the floor.

She begins to feel particularly uneasy when you don’t even turn around to greet her as you normally would.

The atmosphere in the room is tense as the only thing breaking the silence is the noise of the blaring television and the clacking of joysticks and buttons.

“(Y/N), is something wrong?”

Her simple enough question is received with a paroxysm of anger as you launch your controller across the room. “STUPID GAME.”

Without prompt, Pidge kneels down next to you and sympathetically places a hand on your shoulder.

Breaking down, you throw yourself at Pidge and rest your chin against her shoulder almost knocking her glasses off in the process. You open up to her about the argument you had with your parents only a couple of hours ago during your brief visit to Earth.

Pidge then tells you about how frequently she used to get bullied at school and how at times it left her feeling hopeless. However, no matter what they’d do or say to her she’d always be okay in the end because she would have people around her to support her such as Matt.

You became a little agitated at first because you couldn’t see what point she was trying to make - didn’t have any supportive siblings.

She clarifies that the point she’s trying to make is that there will always be someone around you who wants to see you happy and cares deeply about you, even if it feels like the world is against you.

“I care about you, (Y/N). And so does everybody else.”

You pull away from Pidge to give her a tender smile. It still hurt to think about the altercation you had with your family; there was no denying that. You also knew there would be future hardships to come that you couldn’t even possibly anticipate. However if there was one thing you realized, it was that Pidge cared deeply about you and would always be there for you.

“By the way, (Y/N)...you’re going to break your controller one day if you keep throwing it like that.”

Lotor

It’s been a couple of vargas since Lotor had last seen you before you left to meet with your family at the space mall. He could’ve sworn that you said you’d be back by now. Curious as to your whereabouts, he leaves his generals to take care of matters whilst he searches for you.

When he’s unable to find you in any of the usual places you frequented, he starts to worry that perhaps you hadn’t made it back safely from your trip. He was always aware of the fact that one day you could be targeted for simply being his lover. He orders his generals to stop what they’re currently doing and help him search the ship for you.

After what felt like decaphoebs, he finally spots a silhouette in the cockpit of a Galra fighter jet. Had you been hiding there this whole time?

You had been sitting in the cabin seat with your knees tucked into your chest since you came back - repeatedly recollecting that argument you had with your family over your relationship with the prince.

You hear the cockpit opening, making you lift your head up to see who it was. Speak of the devil; it was none other than Lotor himself.

“Darling, what are you doing here?”

“Nothing. I just want to be left alone for a while.”

Defiantly, he wraps his arms around you to lift you out of the cockpit bridal style. There was absolutely no way he was going to let you suffer in silence; he couldn’t stand to see such anguish on your beautiful face.

“Come - let us find somewhere quiet.”

He carries you to his sleeping quarters where he gently sits you down onto the edge of his bed. Sitting next to you, he holds your hand in his.

“So what’s troubling you, my dear?”

You tell him all about what happened with your parents and how they vehemently disapproved of your relationship with him. Why couldn’t they just be happy for you?

Lotor completely understands where you’re coming from as he himself does not even remember the last time his father had been proud of him. 

"I know all too well the heartache that so-called family members can inflict. But I assure you (Y/N), you have done nothing wrong. How can anyone blame you for personal matters of the heart?”

Then proceeding to get down onto one knee...

"(Y/N), I ask that one day I may be allowed to take your hand in marriage and make you my princess. There is nothing I want more in this universe than to start my own family with you, and you alone... (Y/N)...would you grant me such an honour?”

Astonished at this unexpected turn of events, you begin to cry tears of joy and without hesitation tell him the answer was “yes”. 

Requested by @bootyshakerkegrimm as an emergency request. I sincerely apologise for how long this took ;-; I hope you’re feeling better now!

[syphasimagines]

Could you do a Shiro x Reader where the Reader is a waitress (already well known with Voltron and already with Shiro) and the paladins come in for lunch. If it could turn into fluff or smut at the end that would be awesome @tempus-acilita-mortem

You usually dreaded working at the diner, but today your boyfriend Shiro, who you haven’t seen in a while, was coming in for lunch with his friends.

You were finishing up with a family’s order when the diner’s door opened. Shiro was the first to walk in, his friends following closely behind him. The sides of his hair was combed neatly, but his white bangs refused to stay down. He wore his nice fitted Black Label Society shirt, which enhanced his muscles, with his usual worn out black ripped jeans, accompanied with his black high top converse.

You quickly walked into the kitchen, ripping the order from the quest check and handed it to cook.

You ran your hands through your black button up shirt trying your best to straighten out the wrinkles, before heading over to Shiro’s table.

“Hey, y/n!” Lance waved.

You giggled. “What’s up guys?”

“Oh you know the typical saving the universe stuff” Hunk smiled.

“Can you guys please shut up?I’m starving!” Pidge yelled.

“Okay, have you guys decided what you’re going to order” You beamed.

All of the paladins started out yelling out their orders, which somehow turned into a fight on which was the superior milkshake: Oreo’s or Cookie dough.

While all the commotion was happening, you turned to Shiro. Why hasn’t he said anything to me you quietly wondered. You examined his face closely, he had a distant look on his face.

Around 40 minutes later the paladins were done with their meals and bid farewell. Shiro still hasn’t said anything to you and you were too busy with work to ask him what’s wrong. Well the restaurant is closing in a few minutes anyway.

As you were closing up the restaurant by mopping the floor, you saw someone at the door. “Shiro?”

You opened the door and crossed your arms. “Why haven’t you talk to me all day?” You pouted.

“Can we talk somewhere private?”he whispered.

“Okay.”

You grabbed Shiro’s arm, and led him to the bathroom.

“So what did you want to talk about?”

Shiro avoided eye contact so you pushed his face making sure he was looking at you.

“Shiro you know you can tell me anything right?”

He nodded absentmindedly,“Well...Every since my younger brother has been hospitalized it’s been rough....”

You waited for him to continue.

“And when I left the diner earlier I’ve realized I’ve been.. distant. I’m sorry for that. And I just wanted to say thank you for sticking with him through thick and thin. And I love you so so much.”

You were speechless, You told Shiro you loved him countless amount of times, but he was never ready to say it back.

“And I love you,”

1, 2, 6 from mostly affectionate asks?

Doing these with Coran! Since I’m in a Coran mood ✨

Where is your f/o’s favourite place to kiss you? Coran usually kisses me on the forehead or on top of my hand.

What are your f/o’s hugs like? His hugs are usually tight and very cuddly!

Does your f/o take the lead in most things? Sometimes since he works alongside Allura and the rest of the Voltron coalition. Other times we work together as a team.

Future royal portrait of Lotor, Sam, and Lotus.

I haven't drawn Lotor in a while so drawing him felt nice, kinda like coming home after being away for a while.
