Hunk's eyes blinked open as an alarm went off near his head, his entire body darting up. His big clunky hands reached out to grab the alarm, wondering why he set an alarm at all, let alone one to go off so early. As the yellow paladin turned off the alarm, a lightbulb went off in his head, his eyes widening as a smile spread across his face. The yellow paladin stood up, getting dressed and adjusting his clothing so he looked rather smart, the words to the birthday song coming out of his mouth, the words "time to spread some good cheer" replacing "happy birthday dear Hunk".
The first place he stopped on his birthday mission was Shiro's room, letting the door swish open in time to catch the black paladin doing sit ups. The expression on the older teen's face was hysterical, as Shiro simply stared at Hunk, the rhythm of morning exercises interrupted. Then, the corner of the black paladin's mouth twitched. "Hunk is something wrong."
"Nope! Nothing's wrong!"
"Except you're up really early."
"I'm up early to interrupt your exercise routine!"
The corner of Shiro's mouth twitched again, this time twice. The black paladin cleared his throat. "Hunk. Are you feeling all right?"
"Of course I am. Today, Shiro, you are going to relax, and leave everything to me." The rather horrified look on the black paladin's face did not go unnoticed. "Don't worry Shiro. Everybody needs a break, so today, you're going to be taking a break." Hunk watched as Shiro stared at him, a dumbfounded look on his face. "That means Shiro, unless the Galra attacks, you're not to be in uniform, and your not to participate in training."
"You can't run training Hunk."
"Yeah, but Coran or Allura can, and they already do."
"I don't think Allura will appreciate the idea of me, of all people, skipping out on training."
"She'll understand when I tell her." Hunk paused, twiddling her thumbs. "Though she can be a bit scary." The yellow paladin pointed a finger at Shiro. "If I catch you on the training deck, or in your uniform I will pull your cheeks. Or maybe your ear." The yellow paladin walked away from the door, letting it slide closed, and waited. His eyes narrowed after a few minutes, realizing Shiro wasn't coming out and headed to the door. This time Shiro held a hand to his heart, almost as if he were having a panic attack. "Shiro!"
"What!"
"You're supposed to be changing out of your uniform, you know! So I can take you to the lounge area, where you are going to spend your day relaxing. Got it?"
Shiro gave Hunk an exasperated look. "Hunk..."
The yellow paladin crossed his hand. "Nope! No buts! It's gonna happen!" The door closed again, and after a few minutes, Shiro came out of the room rather sheepishly. Hunk proceeded to push him towards the lounge area, before sitting him on the couch. "So. Your job is to stay here, and rest."
"By that, you mean nothing?" Shiro let out a sound of exasperation.
Hunk's eyes blinked. "Well, yeah. That's what relaxing means. Well, you can eat, sleep and poop, but that's it. Doctor's orders."
"You're not a doctor Hunk."
"Yeah, but I've never once seen you relax. What's wrong with taking a nap." Hunk patted the black paladin on the shoulder, before scooting to the door. He pointed at Shiro. "I'd better not catch you doing any leadership stuff! Take a nap today!"
He was then gone before he could he heard Shiro mutter. "Wonderful. Naps. My worst nightmare right now."
