Space Girl (Keith X Reader)

NITRO

Pidge raised an eyebrow.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you had a crush on Keith."

"No, don't be stupid, Pidge."
I laid back down on her bed.

"Hm. Okay. Let's play a game then."

"Okay. I'm listening."

"Tell me who you like, and I'll tell you my secret..."

I snorted.
"Pick one. I like a lot of people."

"Keith?"

"Well... if I'm being honest... uh..."

Pidge pulled up a picture from the security camera footage. It was Keith from the back. He had a nice butt.

"Hmm?"

"I uh... I might like Keith, yeah..."

Pidge screeched, probably waking up Zarkon it was so loud.

"Oh my gosh, I knew it! Wait 'till I tell Hunk and Shiro-!"

"Pidge, don't. If anyone else finds out... I don't want to be 'someone's girlfriend' on the team. I'm here to fight, not for a relationship."

Pidge sighed.
"I get you, man. I won't tell anyone."

"Thanks, Pidge."

"At least Hunk, though?"
She offered meekly.

"No!"

She nodded, laughing, and we pulled an all nighter just talking. Mostly about Keith, though.

"But you know he can get angry sometimes, right?"

"Everyone gets angry, Pidge."

"I mean, like all the time. He's either quiet or snapping at Lance."

"Wait, seriously? He's so nice..."

"Well, yeah. He can be nice. But I mean, he's kind of different now that you're here. Like when you fought Allura. He wasn't quiet. And he wasn't angry. He was... I don't know. But I heard him whispering, I think. Things to help you. Things like, 'be careful'."

I was quiet for a moment.
"He cares a lot. He's really gentle."

"He cares about you more than a friend, yeah?"

"I don't think so. I mean, I wouldn't know, obviously..."

"You should tell him."

"Tell him what?"

"That you have an addiction problem. What do you think?"
She said sarcastically, laughing.

"So I just go up to him," I got up in Pidge's face as a demonstration, and she gleefully looked on in anticipation, "and tell him: 'I'm addicted to Cheezits?'"

She laughed, surprised.
"No, you say 'I'm addicted to you.'"

"Am not!"
I pushed her of the bed on accident.

"WHOMP!"
She yelled, I laughed even harder.

Pidge pulled herself back onto the bed. We stopped laughing.

"I'm serious though. What if he likes you back? Hmm?"

"It wouldn't really matter, Pidge."

"Why not?"

"What if it makes things awkward and you guys can't form Voltron? Or what if either of us dies on a mission? It would be safer if it stayed this way. And besides, who says he even likes me back, anyways?"

Pidge sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right..."

"Of course I am. So what was the secret you were going to tell me?"

"Oh. I-I'm a girl."

"Pidge no fair! Pick something I didn't know, cheater!" I laughed.

"Alright, alright. I think Shiro is hot."

"Wait, Shiro?!"

"Yeah. I don't have a crush on him or anything, I just acknowledge that he's a nice guy with a nice body."
She stated nonchalantly.

"Dude, he's more than twice your age. Although, I can't really disagree."
I laughed.

"You won't tell anyone?"

"Only if you send me that one screenshot of Keith's butt from the security camera."
