Keith and Pidge
Shidge/Klance
Shiro wasn't abducted from his lion in this one shot.
"No!"
"Why not!?"
"It's a death sentence!"
"It's where my brother was last seen!"
"They've stocked the place up with guards because it's the last place your brother was seen!"
"Damnit, Keith!" Pidge cried, her fingers curling in her unruly hair and tugging. "We all accepted the fact that you're Galran, why can't you accept the fact that we just want to see our families again!? That we just want to go home!?"
Keith clenched his jaw and clacked his teeth together. "I have accepted that fact, Pidge! You miss family, you miss home! I know! But you can't go head-first into that prison, even though you know your brother isn't there!"
A sob broke from the youngest Paladin's throat, tears in her amber eyes that she refused to let fall. "I hate you!" Pidge screamed. Keith jolted as well as everyone else in the room. "I fucking hate you so much!" The green paladin pivoted sharply and stormed out of the main control room.
The red paladin balled his hands into fists, glaring at the floor. He turned and looked up at Allura. "We can't go to that prison, Allura. It'll kill one of us and her brother isn't even there anymore."
Shiro gulped, then nodded. "I have to agree with Keith. It's unreasonable to go to a prison that we know her brother is no longer in. I'm going to go find Pidge."
Allura nodded to the black paladin, then watched him leave. Lance came up to Keith and took his hand. "Keith, I don't know if yelling at her made anything better."
Keith shook his head and looked up at Lance. "It's the only way to get to her when she's made up her mind. She's stubborn."
Lance chuckled and nodded, kissing Keith's cheek. "Yeah. She is. Just... Will you at least try to apologize? When you've both calmed down?"
Keith opened his mouth to protest, then sighed and nodded. Lance wrapped an arm around Keith and drew him into an embrace. "There's my Keith." Keith smiled just slightly, closing his eyes and resting his head on Lance's shoulder. "For now, we'll just give her some space."

"Katie? Will you please come down?"
Pidge groaned, hitting her head on her lion's metallic muzzle. "No!"
Shiro sighed. "Please? I promise I'm not mad about you two yelling, just come down."
The green paladin was silent for a moment before she patted the white of her lion's muzzle. Green slowly lowered her head until Pidge could easily slide off. Shiro took her hands and knelt down on one knee in front of her. "Katie, I know you want to find your brother and father, but going somewhere that you know they aren't isn't going to help, Katie. It might make you feel worse." She nodded, gaze downcast. Shiro released her hands, then cupped her face. "Come here, baby girl."
Pidge broke into a grin and giggled. Shiro smiled and pushed himself up just slightly to kiss her. He had found during their relationship that Pidge loved the sweet nickname.
