Okay so I'm so late but I want to do it so even though this week has been a doozy I'm going there. Enjoy!

Oct 23-Keith's birthday

Keith heard a buzz. Then another. And another. Ugh. That's right, today was his birthday. He rolled over, ignoring the demand of the phone, and tried to go back to sleep. Keith hated his birthday. When he was younger his dad would make a big deal out of it. Chocolate chip pancakes. Breakfast in bed. No school, cause his dad would always keep him home. Guy time. They would go hiking or they would spend the day at the firehouse. His best birthdays really were just a day they spent together.

But then, it ended. He was alone and no one acknowledged it. And he never really told people his birthday. Instead, he wanted to forget. Push it out of his mind. Obviously, people knew but he never did anything special. Fast forward to this year. He knew his mom wanted to do something, but he just couldn't.

That said, Keith dug into bed, pulled up the covers tight, and went back to sleep.

Lance, on the other hand, grinned Operation KB is in effect! He knew his friend wanted to hide for his birthday, but those days were over! He now knew everyone's birthday, signs and rising moons. There was no way Keith was going to hide ALL day.

He sent the group message.

*Mission on. Everyone knows their part. Team Voltron!"

Shiro grinned, thinking Keith had no idea of what was in store for him.

Hunk started cooking and baking. He had a list of food for each paladin, what they liked and didn't. Keith was going to eat well today!

Katie nodded. She had a clear job to do.

Keith woke to a bounce. Slowly opening his eyes, he squinted in the light...and saw a pixie?

"Dude, is this new? Sleeping until noon?" Katie murmured. She risked a hand and patted his head gently. She always thought people weren't gentle enough with him.

Keith blinked. "Katie?" Shit, quickly changing gears he continued, "Pidge, what are you doing here?"

Before she replied, Keith realized he was only in his boxers. FUCKKKKKK.

"Well, hello to you too. SOOOO glad you stopped by. And, sure I'd love for you to show me around my first time on the Underworld."

Keith blinked. Was this the first time she was on the ship? Crap. "So, um, I didn't know you were going to be here."

"Yup. Kolivan asked for my help with your tech and of course, as I'm here there is some issue that made him Un-Av-able. Whatever."

Keith nods. "Um, okay. I can be ready in 30 if you want to come back?"

"Oh. Yeah, sure." Katie quickly remembered Lance's instructions. "I'll just let Griffin know that I'm free for a bit. Take your time. He was my ride ya know? So, we came here together."

Keith froze. No. No way in hell. "Yeah, um, no worries. You know, you don't need to leave. I'll just um, get ready in a minute and we can do whatever. Is he um, your ride back? Because Cosmo can take you back when you are done. In fact, where is he? We can just tell him now- he can get back to base. I'm sure he's got stuff he needs to do."

Katie tried to hide her grin. She had no clue how Lance knew he would dig in but, luckily, it was dark in his room. "Oh, okay, I'll let him know. Why don't you get dressed? Let's get this show on the road."

Keith nodded, jumping up, he once again realized a second too late that he was in his boxers. Feeling his face heat, he quickly grabbed some clothes and ran into the bathroom.

As he took a quick shower, his thoughts were filled with her. She cut her hair again, it was in a cute messy short hairstyle. No glasses she must be feeling comfortable. With fucking Griffin. Annoyed, he quickly dried off, absently wondering who else came with them. And damn did she smell good. No lie, it was his favorite scent.

He quickly threw on his clothes and brushed his teeth. Where should he show her first? Maybe they should get breakfast. Then they could see Kolivan and his mom. No, what was he thinking, the lab or the tech room might be a better bet. He opened the door and froze. She was lying on his bed, shoes off, holo screen in hand. Her head on his pillow, her foot absently swinging in time to something only she heard. Her scent in head. His hand itched to touch. His lips itched to taste.

At that moment, he thought back to his dad telling him on a camping trip, "Hey kiddo, it's your birthday, you don't need any candles or cake. Make a wish and it will come true. Birthday magic."

He closed his eyes and wished...he wanted, wished to have Katie forever.

Day 2: Pumpkin

They have been dating for about three months. Birthday wishes do come true. Granted it took a while but nevertheless, Keith grinned, shooting his girlfriend, girlfriend! A look filled with humor. "You can't have them all."

Katie frowned, "Who says?"

Laughing he replies, "Um, everyone?" He waves his arm, "Literally, the saying is you can't have it all."

Rolling her eyes she replies, "Quitters. Losers. Keith, losers think that. Now, get me a wheelbarrow, we are taking these four pumpkins. Honestly, the farmer must be out of their mind! Who prices them individually versus by the pound? This is a great deal!"

Keith stares at the humongous pumpkins. Can they even be considered pumpkins anymore? They are like giant orange... boulders. He impulsively decides to tease her a little more. "Well, even if we get them in the wheelbarrow, how will we get them home? I believe our truck is full with a certain robot?"

Pidge grinned. She taps her temple and states solemnly, "Don't worry, I have a plan babe."

Keith froze. Babe? She just called him babe. Keith blinked frozen as he watched Katie amble through the dirt with no computation muttering to herself. Babe. He thinks it is the first time she called him that. It is like a pet name. For him.

Grinning, he jogged after her, thinking to himself, best birthday wish ever!
