Secret Relationships are Hard - Keith Kogane x Reader
I like this very much heheh. He also might be a little out of character but I’m down for any fluffy content😍
let me know if this was what you wanted, cuz me personally I had fun writing this💯💯
The sound of your footsteps echoed through the hallways as you made your way to the common area of the Garrison. Books clutched in one hand and pencil case in the other, you absentmindedly smiled to yourself thinking about the mini study session you were going to have with Keith.
While exceptionally talented in flying, the boy didn’t seem to excel in many of his other classes, which brings you into the picture. Having volunteered to tutor him, the teachers praised you for your kindness but just as many kids questioned your motives.
Encouraged by many of the teachers, they believed that while being his oldest friend was good, being a role model for academics was even better. You excelled in all your classes, passing tests upon tests with outstanding scores.
It only made sense that Keith be tutored by his best and academically talented friend, you. An example of the perfect student.
Yet you couldn’t help but see this as the perfect opportunity to have an excuse to hang around your boyfriend without any suspicion.
Oh no, if anyone were to find out both of you were dating, it would be no surprise that a lot of people would claim Keith was plaguing you with his ‘carelessness.’
And as much as you hated to admit it, it would also affect your reputation as the role model of your grade.
Walking into the common area, your eyes immediately dart to the only person sitting at one of the tables.
Keith sat in silence with his face scrunched up in confusion. Around him were some books sprawled on the table, the thick math textbook opened to the middle section.
His long hair covered his eyes, yet it didn’t seem to bother him. Keith’s dark eyes darted across the page, trying to understand the material. In this moment, he looked stunning.
The boy glanced up at the sound of your footsteps and immediately a smile formed on his face.
“Hey, took you long enough.” Smiling, you settled next Keith and bumped his shoulder playfully.
“So sorry your highness. I had to sneak around Griffin before he could notice me.”
At the sound of Griffin’s name, Keith’s face scrunched up in annoyance. He never really liked the boy, but once Keith found out he had a crush on you, he really disliked him.
Huffing and leaning more into you, Keith muttered, “I don’t get why he keeps trying to get with you. You’ve rejected him a million times at this point.”
Snickering, you opened your math textbook to the page your boyfriend was on and took out your notebook. Seeing you set up, Keith got back to work, explaining to you the stuff he understood and everything else he didn’t understand.
You both managed to get a lot of work done and seeing Keith now whizz through all his math homework made you proud. Sensing you looking at him, the boy looked towards you and smirked.
“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.”
“I think my memory’s good enough, thanks though.” You went back to writing in your notebook as your cheeks heated up, you got caught staring again.
Keith let out a huff that sounded more like a laugh and went through his bag to take out a small baggie of cookies. Taking one, he put it near your mouth making you raise an eyebrow.
“Just take it.” Shrugging, as you ate the cookie from his hand, a familiar voice sounded in the room.
“What are you guys doing?”
You choked on the cookie and Keith dropped his bag on the ground. Keith stared in shock at the loss of his snack. Swallowing the rest of your cookie, you hastily responded, “NOTHING! I mean, nothing! What’s up Griffin?”
The boy in question narrowed his eyes at the two of you.
“Someone told me I would find you here. I didn’t know he was going to be here too.” At the mention of him, Keith finally tore his eyes away from the ground and towards the other.
“You got a problem with me?”
Still flustered at the fact Griffin had seen your boyfriend feeding you, you got up from your seat.
“What do you need Griffin? You’re kinda distracting us from our tutoring session.”
His cheeks slightly turned pink as you spoke. Clearing his throat, he said, “Well I wanted to see if you were busy with something. I was thinking we could go get a snack from the cafeteria and walk around before they call lights out.”
You felt Keith’s leg bouncing in annoyance . Wincing in guilt, you awkwardly smiled at the boy.
“Thanks for the offer, but I still need to help Keith with this one problem. It’s kind of a hard one.” You shuffled around some papers so Griffin wouldn’t see the problem you were pointing at was already completed.
“Oh uh, that’s fine I guess. Maybe next time.” Moving to leave, Griffin looked back at Keith and narrowed his eyes at him. Keith narrowed his eyes back, watching the boy walk away into the halls.
“I seriously don’t get why you still talk to him.”
Noticing his change in mood, you sat down next to him, placing a hand on his arm. He attempted to shrug it off.
“Hey, what’s wrong? You know you can tell me.”
Sighing, Keith turned to look you straight in the eyes.
“It bothers me that…” Groaning, he rubbed his face. You sat in silence waiting for him to finish.
“It just bothers me how he keeps hitting on you. It bothers me how no one knows we’re like, dating.
“This whole secret relationship is getting harder to keep secret when all I want to do is hold your hand without you snatching it away when someone comes near us.”
Hearing this, you looked down at the table. Is this how he really felt? You didn’t want him to feel bad about your relationship and you certainly didn’t want him upset because of your need to keep everything a secret.
Hearing your silence, Keith frowned.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I just don’t want to keep us a secret anymore. But it’s fine if you don’t want to make it known.”
Making up your mind, you abruptly turned to face your boyfriend.
“Let’s do it! Let’s show them from now on we have nothing to hide. I’m sorry for making you feel that way, it wasn’t my intentions.”
Blinking at your fast decision, Keith asked in a worried voice, “Are you sure? We don’t have to if your not comfortable.”
You smiled and pulled him into a hug, pulling him down to your chest and wrapping your arms around his head.
“Aww you care about me so much! But I’m serious Keith, we don’t have to hide anymore. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?”
His laugh was muffled as you clutched his head, hands grabbing your waist in warning. You immediately tensed up as you knew what he was going to do.
You began punching his arm lightly as Keith tickled your sides with no remorse. He finally stopped after a few minutes, leaving both of you laughing trying to catch your breaths.
“Thanks Y/N.”
You fixed his flyaway hairs, eyes twinkling with happiness and nervousness of what tomorrow will bring.
“Nope, thank you Keith for getting me out of my shell.”
Heyyy can you please do Keith Kogane x a reader who is a space princess?? I love your work btw!!
Keith Falls for a Space Princess Headcanons
Thank you so much, I’m so happy you enjoy my writing!!! I hope you don’t mind that I did headcanons💔 I found this so cute bro I CANT 😭
Also I got another request similar to this one so I’ll debate if I’ll write a different scenario or not!!
Keith’s first impression of you wasn’t anything too extraordinary
Lowkey believed that you would just be another person they rescued from the Galra💀
But once finding out that you were a space princess like Allura, coming from a long line of ancient alchemists and sorcerers, it really peaks his interests
Depending on if you meet before he finds out he’s part Galra or after, that’ll start off the relationship
If we’re talking before, it would be a relatively chill introduction
Being a space princess often gathers you a lot of recognition but Keith captures your attention because of his lack of interest
While you’re used to many treating you with high respect, Keith just treats you normally, with the same tough attitude he has with everyone!
He basically treats you like a normal person, something you haven't felt in a loonnngg time💔
But if it's after he finds out he's part Galra and reveals it, then things would be REALLY tense, on your end at least...
The Galra have made you and countless others suffer for centuries, so knowing one of the paladins of Voltron, who are working to rid of the Galra Empire, is galran himself 😶
Yeah you're especially tense around Keith, untrusting toward him which bothers him for some reason
BUT MOVING ON
Of course, your own curiosity toward the boy ultimately leads you to spending more time with him
At first, he might find your lingering presence somewhat annoying since he isn't used to someone giving him all this extra attention
Always asking him questions during his training, sticking with him when out on missions
At one point, Keith gets used to your presence, a sense of normalcy falling between the two of you quickly as the weeks pass quickly
He opens himself up to you slowly, giving pieces of himself and his life to you while you do the same :D
He'll give you slivers of what his life was like on Earth while you share your own stories of life on your planet
He learns more about your culture, your duties as a princess, and even the history of your ancestors (something which you take pride in)
Because of the amount of time spent together, you guys grow close with every new mission and planet Voltron visits
And with this, this means that Keith begins to grow kinda protective of you?
LIKE LISTEN
He starts caring for you as time passes and he doesn't know exactly when things have been changing between the two of you??
He doesn't know when he began staring at you more often, he doesn't know when he began anticipating your arrival every morning, and he ESPECIALLY doesn't know when his heart began fluttering at the mere sight of you
Maybe it was the elegance that seemed to permanently stick to you after years of being in a royal court
Or maybe it was your constant nagging whenever he was around, sneaking past the walls he built around his heart
Or perhaps it was the caring hand you placed on his shoulder whenever his emotions got the best of him
He would totally go to Coran about possibly courting you because why not LMAO
Coran knows how princesses are supposed to be courted (hopefully), Keith just wants to impress you the best he can and fully believes only Coran holds the secret
So you’re just witnessing him falling over his own feet trying to approach you with uptight mannerisms while Coran watches his every move from afar
“For you my, uh, lady?” *holds out flower*
Cue Coran whispering loudly, “Good, good!”
Despite how endearing it is to see Keith try and keep up with the traditional courting, you have to reassure him that you don’t mind that he isn’t apart some royal family (he’s lowkey insecure that you might prefer someone with a similar background as you)💔💔
You like him for him, not caring for his status at all
With that, you both have a good flowing relationship, his intense personality softening with your own pleasant personality
He learns to control his emotions because of you while you learn to show more of your own because of him!!
You also show him the sort of sorcery you’re able to do, having learned from a young age to harness the power that resided into, which he finds SUPER cool and kinda confusing
He’s trying his best to understand😔
He still sometimes feels like he isn’t enough for you though so please PLEASE make sure to tell him other wise😭🙏🙏🙏
He holds you in a high regard because of your status as a princess, he makes sure to tell anyone he comes across that so they treat with respect😭😭
You’re lowkey embarrassed when he begins bragging about your heritage like bro stop😭
Yeah despite this, he still manages to not associate you with only being a space princess, but an honorary member of Voltron
He’s super soft for you I can’t😭😭
Being Keith’s Older Sibling
The urges were too strong to not write this💆♀️💆♀️
Sorry if there’s some typos, my eyes are in a LOT of pain rn
Being Keith’s older sibling is definitely a hard feat in itself
After the death of your guys’ dad, things kinda went downhill for both of y’all
Your general mistrust and attitude towards people brushed off on little Keith, which comes to play later in his life as we’ve seen he was a more troubled kid
So while you tried your best to be a good role model for Keith growing up, it was hard to do so when all he ever saw from you was your aggression towards adults who tried separating you both
Eventually, social services do separate you guys, claiming that it would be best to allow Keith to grow without your negative influences but the damage had been done
Keith would grow up to not trust many people in his life because of your separation, always finding ways to sneak off and see you at the school they sent you to
It was times like those where you would promise to take him away from this place, from Earth, and live a life where you won't lose each other again
Because of this, Keith also developed a habit of lying to his guardians about his whereabouts because of your own attachment to him, encouraging him to continue this behavior 😭😭😭
Man none of yall knew better😭💔💔
But as you grew older, you, unfortunately, were sent away to the city to continue your studies there, cutting all contact with your little brother
Keith would then take an interest in flying and would go on to attend the Garrison to learn to become a pilot while you made plans every day to once again be reunited with him
I feel like it would take some time to leave the city and go back to your hometown because of the lack of resources available to you
So by the time you reach the Garrison after finding out he's been attending the school, it would be around the time he flunked out and disappeared
Fate is not fair to yall (crying)
So you get a job at the garrison while trying to find Keith and some time passes (YAY TIME SKIP)
After following Lance and Hunk while also finding Pidge on the rooftops, readying to reprimand and write them up, you all see the space shuttle crash and explosions go off, shooting off immediately to investigate
All while you're yelling at them to get back to the building cuz you don't want to lose the only job you have that's near where you think Keith is lurking💀
After seeing it was Keith who caused the explosions, he doesn't recognize you until you all get to the cabin
It's kinda emotional on your end cuz bro
This is your little brother... He's all grown up now, but in a way, he still looks the same. He's so much taller now, his hair is longer, and he would look at you with a familiar distrust you recognized
It was the same look he would give others when you guys were younger
The worst part is that he doesn't even recognize you because its been YEARS since he's last seen you
So it's a bit of a shock for him when you reveal that hey! I'm your sibling! And I've been trying so hard to get back to you for YEARS!
Very emotional as you both hug it out
Like really hug it out, tears and everything
"I thought I would never see you again."
"I never stopped looking for you Keith."
URGH MY HEART💔💔💔💔
After that everything is HISTORY
The dynamic between you both is kind of a weird thing tbh
While you're still holding onto the past and the younger version of Keith you remember, Keith has since let go of what the past held, ready to start a new future with his older sibling in his life
Because you're still holding onto this past, you treat him as if he's still a child and appear somewhat coddling in a way
You're just so excited and happy to be reunited with Keith again that you forget he's since then grown up. He's learned to be independent from years spent alone
And while Keith does miss you as well, he isn't used to having this new 'guardian figure' in his life, only used to the freedom and advice given to him from others, especially Shiro
Speaking of Shiro, I think you would go to him for advice on the blockage between you both since he basically raised Keith after you had left.
He knows Keith better, as much as it hurts you to admit it
Shiro would definitely tell you to give Keith space, to give him time to adjust to the new changes in his life. He's still a teen and is still learning to deal with his emotions, so just give him space to fully digest the situation at hand
You take this advice to heart and tread carefully, which Keith appreciates A LOT
Like imagine you grow up with unrestricted freedom, being able to do whatever you want and just learning to take care of yourself, and then one day, an authoritative figure appears in your life and begins setting up these restrictions. Telling you to be careful, making small rules that break your routine entirely
That's what Keith felt when you began making your presence more known in his life since you believed that you had to keep protecting him from the world
But he's grown up
He shows you that he doesn't need you protecting him anymore
It's bittersweet for you to see him not need you and makes you sad that you missed out on basically his childhood
BUT HE'S SO SWEET IN LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE THERE FOR HIM NOW AND HIS FUTURE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
AND THAT HE'LL BE THERE FOR YOURS TOO😭😭😭
There's just TOO MUCH I can say about being Keith's older sibling, like it's such a complex relationship I would love to develop more on!!!!
This is literally just the tip of the iceberg but imma cut it short for now
To keep it sweet, both of you know that now you're together again, nothing is ever separating yall again
Space wars and all, you guys know you're stronger together and your bond just grows into a beautiful relationship as time goes on😭😭
Hey so how do you think the paladins would deal with a crush who is not an idiot and is an amazing friend, but they can’t read the room romantically at all. Completely have to be the one to confess or be kissed or straight up ask on a date. They literally just think someone is being nice or kind and blink cluelessly if someone mentions that was flirting and they’re like “What?!” Even when told, they still don’t pick up on someone’s hints. This kind of conversation probably happened with crush: “Oh yea, I know I’m clueless. Someone could slap me to tell me they liked me and I still wouldn’t get it”. If one of the paladins does slap or nudge crush right after this, crush is like “ow! What was that for?” And it doesn’t click for them what just happened?
Paladins with a Clueless Reader
I haven’t gotten a voltron ask in a hot MINUTE‼️ I love clueless!reader😻 make them work for reader teehee
These are a bit more calmer, so hopefully you’ll enjoy this😔💔 not proofread
Keith
Yo don’t do this to him😭😭
Like Keith already has such a hard time expressing his feelings, but if you can’t catch onto his small advances he’d be so embarrassed 😭💔💔💔
Keith is the type to be lowkey when asking someone out but if you unknowingly kinda reject it, he would feel awkward afterwards
Someone has to tell him that you’re hella oblivious or he might lowkey think you don’t like him the same way he likes you
So most likely in this situation, Keith is gonna tell you straight up if you don’t get his small hints
Super bold, like he’ll take your hand in his type of bold
And while it may fluster you, you’ll probably be like ‘oh he probably doesn’t want me going too far or something :D so nice!’
Like this is how it’ll go
“I like you. More than friends.”
“Best friends-!”
“NO, not best friends 😓 I Like you more than a friend. lovers kind of like.”
Yeah Keith is gonna be super upfront about it if you don’t catch on the first few days, he can’t stand how you can’t read his romantic intentions😭
Lance
Lance genuinely thinks he’s being so smooth and suave when he makes his moves on you-
Fully believes he’s got you locked in until you say something like ‘wow you’re getting better with your pick up lines, bro.’
Bro is what took him out LMAO
You bruised his pride a little bit but he’s way more determined to get you to realize his feelings for you
But it’s super hard when you always think he’s being really nice to you😭😭
It gets to the point where the other paladins are making bets on how long it takes you before you realize Lance likes you
After some time he would definitely get frustrated with you and just blurt it out loud while on a mission or something
“I LIKE YOU Y/N! AND NOT IN A FRIEND WAY.”
“… huh?”
*cue small groan*
Like you can’t believe you’re hearing this, nobody has like liked you before
While it flustered you that Lance always flirted with you, you thought it was cuz he was just practicing💔
He would repeat it with so much sincerity that you FINALLY catch onto what he’s trying to say
It may have taken a couple of minutes for you to fully grasp that he liked you romantically, but your super ecstatic when you realize
“Oh! Aw man Lance, you should’ve told me sooner!”
“I-“
Pidge
Ok look
She’s oblivious to her own feelings for you for a little while💀
When you leaned a smidge to close to her face though when looking over data on her small screen, Pidge had a mini heart attack
Like she’s red all over the face while you’re questioning her on why she looks like a tomato
All while you’re still so close
I feel like Pidge thinks you’re aware of her attraction towards you with how flustered she gets when you hold her hand and how she stutters a little when you two are alone
But you thinks she’s just a shy person!
“Sorry y/n, you just make me a little nervous. A good nervous!”
“Awwww Pidge! It’s ok, I’m your friend! You don’t need to be nervous around me. As my friend, I think I should make sure you’re more comfortable around me!
Double homicide on her end💀
It gets to a point where Pidge can’t function correctly whenever you’re around so she thinks confessing her feelings for you will make her feel better
So she gets help from hunk to set up this romantic confession date for you, just to be the nail in the coffin
While you think it’s for someone else when you arrive, Pidge reassures you that it’s all for you
It warms your heart knowing she spent her time doing this for you, seeing the small paper hearts strung around the room making you slightly blush
She’s way more confident in telling you her feelings, explaining everything, from how you make her nervous to her romantic interest in you
You get the message and bear hug her, explaining how you thought she was scared of you
You guys then eat the small sandwiches prepared for you by Hunk :DD
Hunk
He doesn’t realize you don’t know his obvious crush on him
Hunk thinks he’s being super obvious with how he badly flirts with you, or makes you a spectacular meals compared to the others
Or how he always offers himself to be your partner during split missions, or even the way he looks at you with such a SOFT LOOK
LIKE THIS DUDE CANT BE MORE OBVIOUS WITH HIS CRUSH
But you don’t even notice😭😭😭😭
Shiro would offhandedly mention how sweet Hunks crush on you is and you’re like what😀 crush??
You’ve seen how nice Hunk is to other people for as long as you’ve known him, so you just think that’s what he’s doing with you
You never fail to let him know how much you appreciate everything he does for you tho
And he’s internally screaming at himself to make a move before you friendzone him one more time
After a push from Lance, Hunk has the courage to ask you out
But you just smile at him and say you guys can hang out whenever! A big smile and everything
And he’s about to take it, friend zone and all, until Lance glares at him from the distance
He has a lot of patience when he’s explaining what he really meant. So while you’re trying to wrap your head around how Hunk likes you, he’s just all red in the face
When it clicks in your head that omg hunk LIKES YOU
You immediately tell him that you like him too!!!! You just didn’t want to take his actions the wrong way 💔💔
Shiro
He finds it cute at first when you don’t realize his subtle flirting
Until after some time he realizes you’re not getting any of his hints with his flirting💀
Like you’d be super close to him, always being there for him whenever he’s going through it
But you literally cannot see the signs of him liking you more than a friend😭
The lingering hand on your shoulder doesn’t ring a bell in your head at all
I feel like he mostly uses his words to try and nudge you to see his feelings for you
Says some shit like “im really glad to have you by my side, y/n. You really know me like no one else does :)”
And because he’s such a cool person, you can’t fathom someone like him having the slightest crush on you
So you just accept it as a platonic situation, ignoring the way your heart aches as you say “well that’s what friends are for😁”
I feel like Shiro would just take you aside and tell you straight up
While he does find it adorable on how oblivious you are to his attempts, my guy is actually starting to get nervous about you not liking him the same way
“You mean you like me? I like you too Shiro! You’re one of my best friends!”
“I like you more than just best friends though. I want to be more than just best friends.”
He would 100% tell you of all the times he tried making his move on you
And it makes you feel so BAD cuz this man has been trying for WEEKS to get you to notice LMAO
Bro finally can rest easy now that you’ve accepted his feelings💀💀💀
Allura
We all know Allura is a little nervous when it comes to relationships and being around people she likes
While she doesn’t exactly flirt with you, Allura pays special attention to you
She spends her time around you, she likes how warm and soft you make her feel
Allura give you small gifts and trinkets, each being accompanied with a small note on how it reminded her of you
She doesn’t do this with ANYONE, so it surprises her how you believe the somewhat romantic gesture is only a friendly gift
She stumbles across you when she hears you talking to Keith and Hunk saying “if someone liked me, I would NOT be able to tell. If someone flirts with me, I wouldn’t know until the next day. It just goes over my head :(“
So Alura makes it her goal to make bolder moves with you, as much as it makes her nervous
You definitely notice how she’s begun taking your hand in hers, complimenting you way more often.
You laugh it off as her being really friendly with you, despite Pidge telling you otherwise
“Allura’s obviously flirting with you.”
“Whaaatt? Nooo, she’s just naturally like that.”
“…are you joking rn?”
It would be out of the blue when Allura confesses her feelings
It surprises the HELL out of you when she takes your hands in hers and looks you straight in the eyes, saying everything she’s been feeling lately
You try to make sense of it, saying how you thought she was just being nice
Omg like she’s the ultimate flirty machine now that you know her feelings for you
You’re all embarrassed with how you acted like it was a normal thing for Allura to be as close as she was with you😭😭😭
While Allura is used to being straightforward with people, she doesn’t mind nudging you in the right direction at times when it comes to reading the room🙈🙈
love all ur posts even if im not in that fandom u write so WELL <33 to throwback to vld, remember that one episode where all the paladins were stranded in space ? how hunk was fantasizing about yellow picking another girl to replace him on voltron ?? ive been thinking abt that concept a lot ... esp with how relevant it was to lance's arc. like, would hunk really be relieved? esp in the later seasons? what do you think if something like that actually happened? if, the paladins got an s/o and their lion was immediately more DRAWN to their s/o then themselves??? how angsty would they all get ????? LOVE U SM GO CRAZY AND RIP MY HEART OUT
Paladins S/O being the New Pilot to their Lions
HIIIIII I MISSED YOOOOUUU💔💔💔 bro this request AARGHH ITS LIKE YOU WANT TO SEE THE PALADINS SAD🤨🤨🤨
this is actually such an interesting concept I love it sm
Hunk
Ok starting strong, I feel like Hunk would at first be kinda happy and relieved?
He’s happy that his s/o is experiencing such an amazing and special bond with the yellow lion
He realizes that the bond the lion and you have is actually much stronger and different compared to his and he just like
He would try and show you how to pilot yellow, only to see how natural flying is for you
He’s happy for you!! You begin taking the lion out on missions since it’s much more responsive with you
For him, it feels like that big responsibility of saving the universe has been lifted off his shoulders and he can finally relax
But those feelings slowly leave him once he notices just how out of loop he is with the group now
Hunk is a very reminiscent person in my opinion so I feel like Hunk is gonna start missing the yellow lion😭
At one point Hunk is going to feel left out💔
With no lion to fly, Hunk is stuck in the castle, maybe helping Coran with stuff, left to do whatever he wanted
And the thing is, Hunk wants to fly yellow again! As much as the pressure of being a paladin of Voltron got to him at time, he misses all of it
Hunk misses the feeling of excitement when flying his old lion, he misses the interactions he had with the other paladins during missions, he even misses the battles that happened more often than not
In general, Hunk misses being the paladin of the yellow lion
He’s grown to love the life of adventure that was bestowed upon him, but he feels like he can’t tell you any of this
Of course he’s supportive of you, but he can’t help the empty feeling growing in him whenever you excitedly talk about how amazing a particular mission went
How yellow revealed a new ability when in battle
For him, it feels like everyone is moving on while he’s stuck in the past
Lance
Lance wouldn’t want to believe that you had a stronger bond with blue
What originally was him showing off his lion turned into you becoming the new paladin of the blue lion
This dude is in DENIAL
if he’s flying blue or red, this dude would still not believe he got dumped twice
When he tires flying blue and it doesn’t turn on like in that one episode, he is absolutely devestated
And it makes you feel really bad in the beginning😭 he doesn’t make you feel bad about ‘taking’ blue from him, but anyone can see how it affected Lance
It gets to a point where neither of you fly blue, so when voltron is absolutely needed during battle
Lance has to hype you up
Even if he’s still sad and upset about no longer being the blue lions paladin, in this moment, Lance is literally the only one who can encourage his s/o to fly the lion
Like he would lowkey be emotional, but him encouraging you to fly blue is like his final goodbye
Not in a forever type of way but goodbye to the paladin stage of his life😭💔
Lance tries not to let his mood affect your learning curve when flying blue
It’s still a touchy subject for him, but he always manages to smile and congratulate you with any new progress you make
He always asks how blue is, if there’s anything you need help with. And as much as you understand and feel for your boyfriend, it gets to a point where it feels like he’s too concerned for the lion
With all the extra time he has in the castle, I feel Like Lance goes through this existential crisis😔
Was he just a place holder for the blue lion until you came along? Did he even belong in the team anymore now that he was essentially useless to everyone? Did anyone even notice his absence in the group? Did he even matter to them?
He doesn’t fly a lion now, he doesn’t know how to work any of the Altean tech. His bayard was now yours. The most he added to the group was small comments here and there during debriefing meetings
I think this would put a strain in y’all’s relationship lowkey
It feels like Lance is pulling away from you and you can’t do anything but watch as he walks further away from you
I think he might even consider asking Allura to send him home, back to Earth
Yeah Lance would REALLY go through some stuff if his s/o would take over as the blue lions paladin😔
Keith
I feel like put everyone, depending on which lion Keith is currently piloting, he’d mostly be pretty ok with it
If he were still piloting the red lion, I think Keith would be more aggressive to his s/o, always pushing them to train longer and nitpick at their flying😭
He’s not used to watching from the sidelines, so he’s lowkey trying to fly red through you (like come on bro)
BUTTT
If he were piloting the black lion and it so happened to choose you as it’s new pilot, he’s immediately stepping down as leader of the group for you
I feel like he would try convincing himself that he’s doing it for you because there’s obviously a reason why you were chosen
But deep down inside, he’s just using that as an excuse to get away from that stressful role
We all know how Keith was when he first began as the leader of voltron and even when he was a part of the blade of marmora
He would be the most relieved and ok one out of everyone if you were chosen to fly his lion
But because he would step down from this role so quickly and spend most of his time with the Blades, this would leave you in a very frazzled state
Like you thought your boyfriend was gonna show you the ropes of flying the black lion
Teach you how to tune in with it, get better at flying general
But now you’re just struggling to lead the team as the new leader, feeling confused and stressed the longer you fly the black lion
And Keith wouldn’t even know because of how often he’s out on missions with the blades💔
This puts a BIG strain on your guys relationship, something that Keith is once again clueless on
Pidge
Like lowkey, i have no idea how Pidge would react to you being the green lions new, chosen pilot💀
I think at first she would believe it’s a joke but once she realizes that only you can pilot the green lion
She kinda just zones out
Pidges world freezes since she’s technically been replaced by her s/o
She knows she should be happy for you, excited that you get to experience what she has with flying the lion but she just can’t
She would probably feel like she lost her important purpose in life
Y’all remember when Pidge had that flashback of her father telling her she was gonna be apart of something amazing? Something that everyone would step back and admire?
Yeah, that memory flashes through her mind
I think she would feel like she lost something so important, and she kinda did. She’s no longer apart of the group bringing change to the entire galaxy, and she’s suddenly back to square one
She’s back to just being a normal person who so happens to be traveling with Voltron
Pidge would give her s/o the cold shoulder for a while, and not even realize it😔💔
But the positive thing to come out of this situation is that she’d be able to focus of creating and building new tech
It would be a comfort thing she would retreat to if she gets sad remembering she’s no longer the green lions paladin
Shiro
We’ve already seen Shiro get replaced by Keith, so I’m like pretty sure it would be the same deal with his s/o😭
It’s a complete shock when the black lion responds to you, like no one was expecting it
Everyone was so used to having Shiro lead them and be the leader of Voltron that it’s hard to maintain that same energy when you become the new paladin
Shiro would have mixed feelings about the situation
He’s gotten so used to being on top of things and leading with confidence
But now that you’re the new paladin and leader, Shiro’s forced to sit back and watch from the sidelines
It lowkey makes him a little anxious now that he can’t be with the team whenever on missions
You already know this man is gonna be constantly looking over your shoulder😭 as much as he wants you to grow and learn to become a leader, he can’t help butting in from time to time to try and lead the team
And at first you’re ok with it cuz!! You’re HELLA nervous being the black paladin, so having your boyfriend ‘guide’ you is such a reliever
But when you actually try to make plans and be Voltrons leader, Shiro is always there trying to speak over you
It’s like when him and Keith were getting used to the change in paladins for the black lion
It becomes a problem when you both start butting heads and lowkey arguing in front of the group whenever having mini meetings
Shiro unfortunately can’t sit by idle, he still feels likes it’s his responsibility to lead everyone even though he’s no longer flying the lion
And you respect that, you really do! But having someone constantly doubt your own decisions really does have a negative effect on your relationship
This would also cause the team to kinda choose sides
Some might trust you, others might trust Shiros judgement better
This really does put a strain on everyone, should they listen to the ex paladin who led them for so long or put their trust in the new lions paladin?
I think he would also lowkey try to reconnect with the black lion😭 he feels guilty about it but he just wanted to see
Wanted to see if this was how things were going to be from now on
Hii, I hope you are having a good day or night! I've recently read your platonic yandere voltron things. And I was wondering if you would make some more headcanons? Or stories with platonic yandere? Here are some ideas you could write either a few headcanons or a story about, for if you have low inspiration. Kidnapped reader with platonic yandere voltron, maybe by an alien species who wanted to help the reader? How would the team react? What would they do? Or maybe the reader get really sick which isn't easily cured cue the panic from the team? Again, just so you know I really like your work! So keep up the good work, and thank you for making your works in the first place! Take good care of yourself, and stay hydrated!
Yandere Voltron’s Reaction to Reader being Taken
O M G DONT EVEN PLAY WITH ME RNNNN!!!! I absolutely LOVE yandere voltron like they’re so fun to write for🤞😜 I love the idea of the group just going crazy if reader were to escape UGHH
tysm pookie, take care of yourself too and ENJOY THIISSSS
OK YOU JUST SPURRED IDEAS INTO MY HEAD
I can already imagine the group going crazy when reader suddenly gets swept up right from their grasp out of nowhere by some random spaceship
I know you said some kind of an alien species taking reader but hear me out
It’s LOTOR AND HIS LITTLE GROUPIES OOOOO
It’s painfully obvious that you’re the real star in voltron seeing as how possessive and protective they are of you, hiding you away whenever danger is nearby
So it only makes sense to Lotor to just kidnap you as leverage for his plans
Little did he know that you would be THANKING him for taking you away from the group lmao😭
Imagine your tied up and homeboys getting ready to explain his super mastermind plan to you when all of a sudden you start rambling about how good it feels to be away from them
“Nothing personal, you were the only thing holding that sad excuse of a team together, so I needed you out of the picture for now.” Cue smirk
“UGH THANK GOD! I was literally starting to lose my mind in there, you have no IDEA how needy they all are.”
Now cue a dumbfounded Lotor
He was not expecting reader to be so relaxed considering how he just snatched you up out of nowhere
You’re just chilling while looking around his ship, maybe making conversation with his generals
You finally get a break from the constant attention and possessiveness, ANYTHING is better than being around the group
While you’re happily talking your voice away with Lotor a group, everyone in the castle is freaking the fuck out
It’s bad enough that they let you slip away from their grasp, it’s worse knowing it was Lotor who took you away💀
We all know how Lance feels about Lotor so I think he would have one of the more extreme reactions to you being taken away
Probably starts pointing fingers and starts blaming everyone for not being able to keep you safe
Lowkey begins targeting Keith because it’s somehow always his fault when something goes wrong💀💀
Lance might even starting crying and wailing out for you with Hunk when the situation finally hits him
Keith is also another one to have a more violent outburst during and after your disappearance
He’s someone I see with strong emotions that he doesn’t know how to handle yet so we already know how he might act
Agitated? Yes. Scared? For you, yeah. Furious? Oh honey absolutely.
Keith might have almost caught you too, but he didn’t. He’s so angry with everything and mostly himself that’s he’s pushing everyone else’s buttons, trying to convince the group that the only right choice is immediately going after you
He’s too anxious now that you’re not in his line of sight, making him kinda desperate to get you back again
Hear me out but I think the calmest ones would PROBABLY be Shiro and Pidge
Now I’m not saying that they’re CALM but they have the nerves mostly in tact
They’re already trying to locate where you are with the secret tracker that have on you so it doesn’t really benefit them to try and blame someone for what happened to you
Pidge’s hands shake while she’s working her whizz tho. She has to type, erase, and retype every now and then because of how nervous and anxious she is
She’s so used to having you around that now her brain can’t function properly without you
She doesn’t want to lose you like how she lost her brother and father so Pidge is trying her best to have a one track mind
Shiro on the other hand is more level headed
He really does try to calm the group down as best as he could but with Lance and Hunk crying, Keith yelling at them to get up and do something, Pidge taking a long time to track you down, and Allura and Coran seemingly in an entire different universe, he can’t help but feel the pressure of this disaster falling on his shoulders
This man is ready to just end Lotor when they find him like I’m not even joking
Everyone is getting on this man’s nerves and knowing that you’re trapped with Voltrons enemy doesn’t really make him feel any better
Hunk might even strike fear into Shiro while he’s babbling on about if you’re hurt or not, if they’re torturing you to get any information out of you etc
Poor Hunk is a flood gate at this point. One moment you’re right next to him and the next you’re not
He’s having a complete meltdown in a corner, maybe trying to comfort himself with a small picture of a selfie you both took together
This dude is already imagining all these terrible scenarios you could possibly be in which makes him feel even more terrible
Quite literally feels like he’s gonna throw up now when he begins thinking about how he’ll never see you again
Allura and Coran are surprising quite and calm during all this
They’d keep to themselves but know that they’re going through some extreme inner turmoil
It’s kind of like Allura disconnected herself from the world ever since you’ve been taken
Her skin itches to run out and grab a pod to find you herself but she knows it’s a brash idea
The only thing she does is mull over the idea of making Lotor regret messing with Voltron
BUT TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORTT
They are willing to do anything to get you back, not caring for the description they’ll leave along the way
The longer your gone the less control and stability they’ll have as a group
Desperate and irrational are some words to describe them during your being away from them
They will stop at nothing to have you back with them, some more destructive and violent than others
No one holds back when getting you back from Lotor, leaving his ships wrecked and forcing him to put his plans on pause as he recovers
Who knows, maybe him and his group might’ve grown similar possessive feelings towards you as well with the time you spent with them? HMMMM
Hii, sorry if you aren't willing to write for Voltron anymore. But I discovered your blog cause of the name, so I thought why not try? So here is one of my yandere ideas.
Yandere Voltron with isekaid reader? Basically, the reader was from real life, till they died. Either by truck-chan, or to a disease. But given their life was already very shitty, they didn't really care much. At least. Till the reader wakes up in their favorite show. Not as a main protagonist, or not even as a side character in one of the many episodes. Nah, the reader simply wakes up as an unknown character on some random planet. A planet that hasn't isn't a part of the Garla Empire, and reader paln to kept it that way. Eventually, Voltron starts to get on the move, and main characters meet reader. Except, reader doesn't really realized that they are now the main character of the story. So despite, being very perceptive of everyone and everything, they some how don't know that the characters are becoming yandere. One by one.
Again, sorry if you don't write about Voltron anymore, if you want you can ignore this completely. I just thought you might want to hear the idea. Don't let the Karens bite you, fight them off with the power of the shows you like if needed, and remember to take care.
Yandere Voltron with Isekaid!Reader
OMG STOOOPPPP I LOVE THIS SMMM!!!! AND THIS BEING A YANDERE ASK?? It's like all those batfam fics i read, i'm so happy you thought of this. I will always write for voltron, don't worry pookie
This might be long, hope you enjoy😅
A series of very much unfortunate events, readers life goes from crap to ok to crap again. Readers death was very short and brief on their end. In your world, Voltron was just a silly little show that you watched to get away from reality, a show you loved so dearly. So never did you imagine to be isakei'd into that same very world.
I like to think this was caused due to voltron traveling through different dimensions, like that one Altean reality. Kind of like an event that perfectly aligned, readers death and them escaping the reality.
Of course at first reader doesn't know where the HELL they are. Exploring this new place, its not hard to convince yourself you miraculously made it to heaven with how beautiful everything was. But it isn't long until they find the residents of this strange world. You live a good and easy life the weeks after your arrival as the townspeople openly accepted you into their world.
Reader has many similarities to these aliens, yet its very obvious that you take on a more humanoid appearance compared to them. Perhaps you share a similar skin tone, like green or blue. Maybe your eyes are the same shade as theirs. Despite this, your physical appearance is more human than alien without a doubt.
Reader only knows they're in the Voltron universe due to how often the townspeople talk about the Galra and Voltron rescuing imprisoned planets. Like I can imagine reader immediately jumping into someone's conversation to get more info, only for them to get weird looks
"Galra? Voltron?! Like from the show?? They're real?"
*Cue confused faces*
"Show? Um, I don't believe they're based off a show. They've been doing a lot of good for the universe!"
Its easy to put two and two together, but have no fear! Reader, being SMARTTT, already knows that they're in the Voltron universe. And if anything happens to the plot causing it to go astray from the og, it'll most likely have devastating consequences, so its a good thing that they're stuck on this unknown planet!
Especially one they don't remember ever being on the show!
Until some divine intervention wrecks that very idea one day with a giant mechanical lion falling from the sky.
You make sure to keep your distance from whatever paladin is staying in the village. It's not hard to do so with how many people lurk the streets to see a paladin of Voltron
But of course nothing ever goes Isekei'd!Reader's way when they bump into the one person they've been avoiding. It's as if time literally stops as they're eyes meet.
DUN DUUNNN! SHIRO! (My mans😍)
He's surprised to see someone almost like him after seeing all the townspeople's appearances. Shiro's seen some pretty wacky looking aliens so its almost like a slap in the face to find someone so human in the village.
Before he can even say anything though, you quite literally run away from him, leaving the black paladin in a state of confusion and curiosity. And since you're running AWAY from him, he figures you probably know the reason why his lion crash landed on this specific planet when it was fine before.
Cue to you trying to outrun him. Emphasis on TRYING. Cuz there's no way you could ever outrun him.
Once he catches you, its safe to say you're now permanently apart of their story. You, however, fail to realize that. It's hard to not reveal everything to the man in front of you, but some things may or may not have slipped out your mouth.
"HELLO STRANGE PALADIN! Welcome to our, um, planet? Uh, if you could get off of me Shiro, that would be amazing cuz I currently am freaking out right now!
"Keith is probably looking for you so get that black cat working and get outta here haha!"
With all of readers rambling and bad avoidance, Shiro can't shake off a growing feeling in him. Was it endearment? Pity, annoyance? Protectiveness? Possessiveness? Shaking the dark thought quickly, the man already knows you know more than what you're letting on.
"How do you know Keith?"
"Ummm we're cousins?" You're internally smacking yourself as the man in front of you raises an eyebrow.
SKIPPING SOME STUFF CUZ THIS IS GETTING A LITTLE LONG SO LETS JUMP TO THE YANDERE SHITTTTT😝😝
Being introduced to the team, they all seem to be drawn to you. Like there's some invisible force dragging them to your very being. It's sort of like an inner battle for them, allow themselves to get dragged into whatever this is willingly, or fight against it and fall harder into it.
Reader is kind of their unofficial prisoner, but not really a prisoner? So while it is very cool to meet some of their comfort characters, they accept the fact that they are now living in their world. They have no idea what the others are feeling or thinking, so they're kind of on their own from now on.
Some paladins I think that would willingly allow this divine obsession take place in their hearts are Shiro, Lance, and Allura.
Shiro was the first to find them, so it only makes sense that his obsession would take place first. He would mistake this new feeling as a need to protect. If reader is younger than him, then get used to being treated like a child. He doesn't mean to coddle you, but with how you seem to have ZERO survival skills and an air of childlike amazement at everything, he can't help but want to keep that to himself.
Lance is an easy going person, and very open to meeting new people. He's the easiest to fall into his yandere tendencies. He's basically a puppy whenever reader is around. He doesn't see anything wrong with his feelings ignoring how twisted they get the longer he's around them. You capture his attention as you don't necessarily push his overbearingness away like he's used to with everyone is. It's not like you can with how he's practically glued himself to your side.
Allura is a bit more on the umm condescending side? I don't want to say condescending, but she does feel like she has to help you learn space life. She enjoys teaching you about the ship and her planets history, of all the planets they've visited. Allura might actually see herself above you as she believes she holds more experience and knowledge of the universe than you do due to your previously mentioned childlike amazement. I think she might even see herself as your teacher, a master, and you her student. Little does she know that you are much familiar with the things she speaks of.
Now for the paladins that would be hesitant in the growing obsession, Hunk, Pidge and Keith.
Hunk is naturally a wary person when it comes to new people. Especially if he feels the vibes are off. I mean, here comes in a new person on the team that happens to know a little bit too much about them, about him! Like how do you know his name before meeting him? He's hesitant on being near you but seeing how kind you are to Lance of all people causes his a rift in his feelings. Maybe you aren't a bad person after all? He'd start growing a bit more protective of you each day the longer you guys hangout. Is this a good thing or a bad thing; only time will tell.
Pidge is standoffish to anyone who seems to know more than what they're letting on. She can tell it on you face when you look at her with a sense of familiarity despite her never having met you. She tries her best to block off the feelings of wanting to get closer to you, to hear you laugh at her jokes the same way you do with Lance and Hunk. There's not much she can do (does she even fight it anymore at this point) when you begin approaching her, mentioning some of her interests to continue talking to her. You seem to know exactly what to say to lower her guard, and she honestly doesn't know how to feel about that.
Keith is a double edged sword tbh. He'd be hesitant to get near you with these unfamiliar feelings flooding him. So he would either awkwardly get used to your prodding or he'd be quite aggressive with your presence. If we're talking about earlier season Keith, than I think he would most likely be the latter. He'd try interrogating you when know one's around. He'd try to get you to admit to something, anything to confirm his growing emotions are of suspicion instead of interest. He's immediately conflicted though once you turn emotionally at his barad of questions and accusations. He apologizes in a quiet voice and leaves, but one things for sure. He never wants you to look at him with the same fear you just did moments before.
Reader is just trying to get the plot to continue because hellooo?? The universe needs saving??
Reader knows EVERYTHING about the show and about the people they are now personally familiar with. However, they fail to realize the dark turn of events their presence brought to the team.
Sure they're acting a little unusual to how they normally would be on the show but it's not that big of a deal, right? Right?
Unrelated, but can you imagine how they would react to finding out reader is from another universe?? Even if you were to reassure them that you wouldn't be able to go back anyways, their paranoia would skyrocket.
If you were to die in their universe the same way you died in your universe, there's a chance that you'll get transported to another world! A world where you'll live without them. A world they'll never be able to reach. A world without them.
That thought alone terrifies them, so that's honestly when the true horror kicks in. BUT THAT'S FOR A DIFFERENT TIME!!!!
Everyone is wary of you at first, but with the strange emotions growing in them, they can't deny that your presence brings them an overwhelming sense of peace.
Their possessiveness will definitely set some alarms in your head but you stay in denial. You don’t want to believe that you may have, irreversibly, changed the Voltron universe.
A big question to think about is if you're gonna regret being isekai'd into this universe because they won't stay sweet for long.

lance mcclain
“lance, wait—”
“sick snuggles!” is what you had last remember hearing him whoop before your dumb boyfriend plops on top of you.
his cheek settles on your chest, a lopsided grin stretched on his lips. he lets out a big content sigh. no pillow in space nor on earth can compare to your body, it felt right, perfect even, to cuddle with you. he bemoans your attempt to leave his grasp.
it isn’t completely out of the ordinary for him to pull a stunt like that on you. a flair for the theatrics must be encoded in the mcclain dna. still, a part of you presumed his ill state to tone it down but it didn’t, it appears to intensify.
and it left you feeling disoriented, to say the least.
the blanket he carried from his room drapes over your body and his. it nearly slaps you in the face if it were not for his quick reflexes saving you. while the moment felt heavenly to him, you sadly couldn’t say the same. you were reading a novel allura had recommended when he came waltzing into your room, demanding your attention.
he can be a lovable headache at times. knowing the ins and outs of his personality for years now, you sigh, there was no way of fleeing this. and as easy as that, you’ve come to terms and accept you were wedge into this position for god knows however long he wants.
"too late, gorgeous." lance winks, flashing you a sleazy grin. not a second later, you watch his face contort then let out the most egregious sneeze.
you cringe.
observing him, you notice he looks worse for wear. he really should be resting in his room, not here braving the chances of infecting you. hunk and coran will have a field if that ever happens, you thought, snickering to yourself as you picture butting heads over earth versus altean remedies.
your expression soon changes when you hear the man atop of you whining over his current state and how ‘un-pretty’ he feels because of it.
what.
lance didn’t actually expect a reply since he did have a habit of talking to himself out loud and yet it didn’t stop him from doing what he did next. suddenly, he stares up at you, the frown and puppy eyes combo, silently questioning you if he does appear as bad as he believes.
“no matter what you look like, or how you feel, i will love you the same.” twirling the strands of hair on his nape, your little ministration affords as a great distraction from his irrational thoughts.
“you mean it?”
“more than ever.” you firmly nod, earning a prolonged “aw!” from him topped off with a messy kiss on the cheek.
the moment was ruined after he pulls back from your touch and scowls at you. “hey… wait a minute… you didn’t answer my question! that mean i do look ugly.”
your boyfriend babbles on and on, playfully scolding you for ‘lying’ to him. you puff your cheeks; surely, he’ll tire himself out sooner or later, you note. any time now, his voice begins to slur until it becomes incoherent mumbles then emerging into low snores.
facing down your chest, you find lance already knocked out. the tiniest of smiles paints across your lips. this was the most peaceful you’ve seen him in a long while. you recently notice how the current turn of events started to take a large toll on his state of mind.
he loves to play it off, pretending it didn’t hurt him. he never takes it to heart, making light of grim situations for the sake of preserving the team’s spirit. it warms your heart to finally see him at peace; even though it might be at the expense of getting sick or a stiff neck later, he deserves it.
keith kogane
whether keith liked it or not, he had to reveal his vulnerable state if he wants to get better. his ailment wasn’t too major to place him back in the healing pod, it wasn’t too minor to brush off and leave him to his devices either. coran already gave him medicine to combat the flu he caught for pushing his body too far on the last mission.
even though it worked, the effects left him feeling loopy and speaking out of turn. thankfully, it didn’t spark up a fight, or an argument, despite he and lance getting into a short back and forth.
when asked, the other paladins were incline to help in these situations. it was only right since they are a team and it was expected they look after their own. nonetheless, keith’s stubbornness made it more grueling than it should’ve been. they would’ve plead shiro to try and change his mind but he was preoccupied recovering from his own injuries.
you were the last resort.
hunk, pidge, and lance know he has a soft spot for you. the chances of him saying no to you were low regardless of his adamant refusal to let anyone see him.
“are you still with me? …hello? keith?” using your free hand, you wave across his face to get his attention. ever since you return to his room from the kitchen area with the soup hunk prepared for him, he’s been acting out of sorts.
“i’m fine, i’m fine! you don’t need to fuss over me.” his voice sounds gruff. to his dismay, he falls into a short coughing fit a beat after he finished his sentence. your eyes bore into his unimpressed, as the tips of his ears turn pink.
he was grateful you didn’t comment on it.
you place the bowl in his hands. “here, eat this then go take your medicine; i’ll be changing your wound dressings when you’re done.”
one… two… three… you grab the spoon and press it against his lips. he was taking too long to move and the soup was getting cold. you manage to feed him a couple scoops until he takes the bowl from your hands and ate on his own. you snicker. you’ve never seen the red paladin so self-conscious before.
keith lowers his head further to avoid your watchful eyes. he didn’t want you to see the color on his cheeks.
once he was done eating, you hand him his medicine. he makes a face. you ask him if he wants you to help him with that too and your remark forces him to take it without another word. reaching for the first aid kit, you find him on the verge of dozing off. the side effects must be kicking in, you’ve got to make this quick.
“you’re pretty,” he mumbles, focusing on the feeling of your touch while you apply a slather of ointment on his arm then wrap it with fresh gauze.
were you always been this gentle? he wonders if you behave this way around the others too when they were sick or hurt. an heavy sensation weighs on his chest over the thought of you treating someone who isn’t him.
“you’re only saying that ‘cuz you’re delirious,” you argue, as you pack away the supplies.
keith shakes his head like a child persistent to prove he was telling you the truth. “no, i’m not! i’m being honest. you’re… you’re beautiful.”
silence dominates the room.
not knowing what else to say, you stand up to give him time to rest but his hand extends out to hold your wrist. you look down and find him staring at you, pleading for you to listen to what he has to say. “stay with me… please? …or until i fall asleep at least.”
you couldn’t say no to him, not when he looks at you fondly like that. with a sigh, you nod then take a seat on the side of his bed. his hand not so subtly trails down and intertwine with yours. his thumb rubs lazy circles on your skin until you felt him stop and hear light snores behind you.
