Voltron Allura X Reader - Tumblr Posts

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🙈🙈

may i request an Altean!reader (possibly fem) who is also a bodyguard? Im thinking about if King Alfor put them in a pod too to help protect Princess Allura once she came out. im mostly thinking of the princess x bodyguard trope 🤭 but the reader x other paladins are fine too! i can't exactly remember, but i don't think they trained them to fight at the garrison. I think it would be nice if reader helped them at the start with their stances and such.

ty for reading this, regardless of if you get to it ^-^

Being Allura’s Bodyguard Headcanons

I LOVE THIS IDEA😻😻😻 IMMA MAKE THIS A FEM!READER CUZ IM A SUCKER FOR FEMALE GUARDS 🤪🤪 this feels all over the place BUT IGNORE IT

This feels a little weird though, let me know if I did you justice🤨💔

OH MY GOSH BODYGUARD READER???

UM YES PLEASE

If you were put to sleep with Allura and Coran, that means Alfor REALLY trusted reader

You probably trained to be Allura’s guard specifically as you both grew up

So that means you were around each a lot as children and teens

I think reader might be a year or two older than Allura, so in a way you grew to be protective of the younger girl, naturally

She was always able to confide in you no matter what, whether it was about a problem that bothered her or complaining about her potential suitors

I think because y’all spent so much time together, a little crush might form between yall

But being her bodyguard, you knew you had a duty to uphold and couldn’t let silly feelings get in the way of that (much to her dismay)

You would always playfully roll your eyes whenever she tried using a pickup line on you

When you guys wake up from the pods, despite your drowsiness, you’re immediately at Allura’s side, pushing away the weird creature with round ears from her

Like your sword is drawn out and pointed to Lance, ready to attack if the group in front of you poses themselves as a threat

Yeah, the group decides that it’s best to take several steps away from you LMAO

You’re always by Allura’s side no matter what, the princess being your main priority

You’re kinda like her shadow, always standing guard, waiting for the unexpected

I think reader would begin falling hard for the Allura (much to her delight) when she saves her from a life or death situation

The whole point of being her bodyguard was to protect her, but seeing how she risked her own life to drag you to safety made your heart flutter

Like no one had ever done that for you😭

You were taught and trained to fight for yourself, trained to protect others

So Allura being the one protecting you led you down in a spiral

And it’s a QUICK spiral, may I add

You begin seeing the princess in a different light

The way not a single hair moves from its placement when she’s fighting, whether it be training or when out on a mission, entranced you

You admired the way she demanded attention with just her presence alone

And Allura notices these changes AHH

Like this girl is internally screaming when you gently take her hand when you’re trying to bring her away from any danger

I like to think Allura would be flirty with her bodyguard lowkey

They’re used to each other from the years of being together so this isn’t an odd occurrence

But things do change when you begin turning pink whenever she uses her dumb pickup lines

It’s gotten to a point where the princess was able to beat you in a duel for the first time when she randomly blurted one out

(You claimed that you were feeling a little sick that day lol)

Even despite the fun flirting and knowing looks shared between you two, you would still be hesitant to start an actual relationship with Allura

You have so much respect for the passed King Alfor that you want to continue being the bodyguard for his daughter

You feel like you might be betraying his trust if you start pursuing his daughter

Coran would tell you to go for though if you talk to him about it

He knew Alfor best, so hearing him say that the king would want you and Allura to be happy, you immediately go to the princess

You confess and she’s just jumping on you in pure joy cuz FINALLY

The rest is HISTORY as you guys finally pursue each other AHHH

You’re a much more gentler bodyguard, you’re less tense when out of the castle and honestly just enjoying every moment with Allura

Instead of protecting Allura, you both fight along side each other

The respect you guys have for the other is just so UGH!!! If Allura wants to fight her own battles, you watch from a close distance

Honestly you guys make each other better I can’t even

And because you’re less intense now that you’re with Allura, you treat the team with much more patience

Since they had no idea how to fight at first (most of them at least), you offer to train them

Altean style😍

They wouldn’t take you seriously at first, except Shiro, until you bodyslam Keith to the ground when he gets too cocky with his attacks

After that, they take training very seriously LMAO

You taught Shiro and Keith how to fight efficiently when in close range, showing them fighting techniques that they could also use if they don’t have their weapons

You teach Hunk and Lance how to properly use their guns, showing them the right positions to hold their weapons as to not injure themselves

And with Pidge, you show her how to use her weapon in general because of how unique it is compared to the others weapons

They grow to become strong fighters, you may even shed a tear, happy you were able to help them

You’re still able to demolish them even after everything you all have been through though

Every now and then you guys hold a tournament to see whose the best fighter, you still winning most of the times

Except when you go against Lance for some reason, he’s a slippery one you need to keep an eye on💀

You grow to care for everyone in your own way, vowing to protect them when if it ever came down to it

Being Allura’s bodyguard is honestly a very rewarding duty

She appreciates everything you do and risk to keep her safe, and she promises to do the same for you

I also think you’re the voice of reason for her cuz y’all remember when they went through that dimension jumping portal? And how Allura believed those Alteans were the same ones she knew

You would be there to let her down gently, even comforting her after that entire ordeal happens

You’re her rock, being an emotional support for the princess whenever she needs it

Out of the entire team, I’m like 99% sure that bodyguard!reader is the greenest flag out of everyone

Allura won the lottery honest, her bodyguard being her lover😫😫😫‼️‼️

You’re always by her side, through thick and thin, no matter what happens to you guys

Loyalty is literally your middle name heehee
