Rating: T
It was Christmas Eve on the Castle of Lions, and the crew had made the most of the unusual holiday. Allura and Coran were especially intrigued by Earth's traditions, fascinated by the idea of decorating trees, exchanging gifts, and the peculiar notion of mistletoe. While Hunk worked on preparing a festive dinner, Lance was decorating the hallway with tinsel and lights.
Pidge had been keeping herself busy with her usual routine—solving problems and working on her tech projects—but her thoughts kept drifting back to Y/N. They'd been spending more time together lately, and each moment seemed to bring them closer.
Y/N sat by one of the large windows, watching the soft snowflakes float by, her thoughts on Earth's Christmas traditions. "I wonder if they celebrate Christmas the same way here," she mused aloud, absentmindedly running her fingers over the edge of her sleeve.
Pidge, who had been tinkering with her tablet, glanced up and caught sight of Y/N, her heart skipping a beat. Y/N's beauty never ceased to leave her breathless. "I don't know," Pidge replied, her voice softer than usual. "I think it's different everywhere."
Allura entered the room, her sparkling eyes bright with curiosity. "So, tell me more about this Christmas holiday you speak of," she asked, clearly fascinated by the Earth customs she had heard so much about.
Coran followed her in, his usual jovial nature shining through. "Yes! We must learn everything about it! The gifts, the lights, the feasts!"
Y/N smiled at their excitement, standing to join them. "Well, it's about spending time with people you care about, and showing them how much they mean to you. There's a lot of giving involved, like presents and sharing meals together."
"All these lights on trees! Is it like a beacon for the entire planet?" Allura asked, hands clasped together in wonder.
"Not exactly, but I guess you could say they bring people together," Y/N said, smiling. "It's a tradition."
Meanwhile, Lance had snuck off to find something he'd been planning all day. He returned to the group carrying a small sprig of mistletoe. With a mischievous grin, he slipped it over a doorway where Pidge and Y/N stood talking.
"Perfect," Lance muttered to himself, before casually walking back into the main area, pretending to be oblivious to the situation.
The moment Y/N walked under the mistletoe, she stopped, feeling a warmth spread across her chest. She glanced up, eyes meeting Pidge's with a playful smirk.
"What's this, Pidge?" Y/N teased. "Caught under the mistletoe?"
Pidge froze, her cheeks flushing a deep shade of pink. She had no idea Lance had set this up. She nervously glanced at Y/N, a flurry of thoughts rushing through her head. Her gaze softened, her heart fluttering. "Uh, well..." Pidge stammered, but before she could say more, Y/N was already taking a step closer.
"You know, it's tradition," Y/N said with a wink, gently reaching up to brush her fingers against Pidge's cheek. "If we're under the mistletoe, we're supposed to kiss."
Pidge's heart raced as she stared at Y/N, her mouth going dry. "Well, I..." Her voice trailed off, and then, without another word, Y/N closed the distance between them, her lips pressing gently against Pidge's.
The kiss was soft, sweet, and fleeting—but it was enough to send a warm rush of affection through both of them. As they pulled away, their faces lit up with shy smiles.
From the other room, Lance couldn't help but laugh as the rest of the team gathered to witness the adorable scene. "I knew it!" Lance shouted, causing everyone to look over at him. "You two are too cute!"
Coran leaned in with a grin. "Aww, what a perfect Christmas moment!"
Hunk and Allura exchanged knowing glances, both smiling warmly at the couple under the mistletoe.
"Maybe we should have more mistletoe," Hunk suggested, earning a chorus of laughs from the group.
"Or better yet," Keith added, his voice dry, but with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "we could just focus on the holiday dinner before we all get mushy."
Allura, still beaming, clapped her hands. "I love it. This Christmas is truly special. A little love, a little laughter, and a lot of light."
Y/N turned to Pidge, who was still blushing a little. "So, this Christmas..." she began softly, "what do you want for a gift?"
Pidge smiled, her fingers brushing against Y/N's. "I already got the best gift," she said, her voice full of warmth. "You."
Y/N's heart fluttered, and she leaned in for another kiss, this time lingering longer. It was simple, but it was perfect.
And with the mistletoe still hanging overhead, the team shared a moment of peace, laughter, and love. It truly was a Christmas to remember.
Diary Entry - Pidge:
December 24th
So, today was perfect. I've never really understood Christmas, but seeing everyone so happy made it all click. And then, there was Y/N—her smile, her kindness... I'm falling harder for her with each passing day. When we kissed under the mistletoe, it felt like the entire universe paused just for us. I didn't know what to expect, but now... I never want to let go. This Christmas is going to stay with me forever.
Diary Entry - Y/N:
December 24th
Pidge. She's everything I could have ever wanted and more. I think I've known for a while that I liked her, but today... I'm sure. It feels like we've been building up to this moment, and now, I can't imagine spending Christmas without her. The mistletoe was a nice touch, but I think I'll just focus on Pidge from now on. She's the best present I could ever ask for.
