Star-Crossed Rivals || [Keith x Reader]

Garfle Warfle Snick Pt1

꧁────────♡-♡-♡────────꧂

For a brief moment, everything was engulfed in darkness, leaving only the sound of your breathing and distant cheers. Where had you found yourself?

"What's going on?" you mumbled, trying to feel around the place, only to find out your range of motion was limited to only a few centimeters around your own body. You were trapped somewhere, and you couldn't even remember how you ended up here.

"Hello?!" you yelled, banging against the walls of this place.

Out of nowhere, you felt a force under you. The platform below you pushed you upward while a latch opened overhead.

The light immediately shone through, and the cheering became clearer. You squinted your eyes, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness and blinding lights moving around this place.

It looked like some sort of headlight was being directed at you.

From a close distance, you heard a strange voice, speaking in your direction. "Now let's meet the intergalactic goofballs we've got playing with us today."

What the heck was going on?! You snapped your head in every direction, trying to take in what was happening.

You sighed in relief when you saw your team next to you. You were standing in between Pidge and Keith, right in front of a contestant podium

"What is this place?" you heard Allura question as she moved her head around to take everything in.

"Looks like some... kinda game show," Hunk answered, seeming just as confused.

You looked into the audience. You weren't sure if there were actually people watching, everything beyond the game show stage was completely dark. You felt a shiver running down your spine.

A turquoise-looking alien with two antennas that weirdly looked like spinning tops was sitting on a levitating chair in the center of the studio. He had four arms and was dressed up in a yellow suit.

When he flew towards you, you instinctively backed up. He took hold of the microphone that was attached to his chair and held it towards Keith.

"Hi there, tell us your name and where you're from!" he said cheerily as he looked at him.

Keith looked just as surprised as you were, stuttering as he asked, "What is this?!"

"Oh oh," the moderator then replied, shrugging as he turned to the audience. "looks like someone wasn't listening to Norlox!"

Laughter erupted. You leaned forward, trying to see the people laughing but could make out nothing in the distance. "What the hell," you mumbled. You pinched yourself to confirm that this was not just a dream. When you felt the pain, something in your stomach dropped. No, this was real.
