No couples
Just Pidge falling asleep in random places

"Pidge?... Pidge, you in here?"

Shiro peeked under tables and around each of the Green lion's paws, searching for a missing green paladin.

Shiro paused as Green rumbled, then stepped back. Green lowered her head, then Shiro sighed as he saw Pidge's orange boot dangling over the edge. "Geez, Pidge. Every night, you do this."

The black paladin shook his head and, with some help from Green, scooped up the smallest paladin in his arms. Pidge nestled into him, then relaxed with a hum. Shiro chuckled and carried her out. "I'm gonna need to start getting you to bed before midnight." He mused, making sure she was secure in her arms as he carried her down the dim hallways.

Keith glared at the vent, hands on his hips. "How the fuck do you fall asleep in a damn vent?" He grumbled.

The red Paladin, luckily, was also small enough to wiggle into the vent to get her out. Too bad the green paladin was a heavy sleeper when she did manage to make herself pass out.

"Red, bud, I'm gonna need some help." He grumbled as he took to dragging the green paladin.

The vent was too high and he was on an unstable latter. It'd be too risky to try and situate her in a way to comfortably and safely carry her down the latter and to the floor without dropping the both of them.

Red grumbled, but did offer help. The lion held out his paw for Keith to set the younger paladin on, then lowered her to the floor for his paladin.

"Thanks." Keith huffed as he climbed down. "Alright... Now how the hell am I supposed to fucking carry her? Should I just get Shiro?"

The lion seemed to growl in disagreement.

Keith waved his hand. "Right, right. I should let him sleep. Well, shit."

Red rumbled and tilted its paw.

Keith blinked, then snapped his fingers. "Piggy-back. Duh. I'm fuckin' dumb."

The red paladin picked off her glasses that miraculously have been unharmed from her odd sleeping position in the vent, and set them a top his own head. Keith sat on the edge of Red's tilted paw, then nodded up to his lion. "'Kay, now. I'll get her."

Red seem to muse that if knew, and tilted its paw until the green paladin was hunched over Keith, arms tossed over his shoulders and face smashed into the nape of his neck. Keith stood straight, adjusting her until she settled, then hooked his arms under her legs. "Alright. Night, Red. Thanks." Red purred and urged him out.

Keith hummed, leaning forward slightly as he walked down the halls so she wouldn't fall off as easily. "You need to find your bed before you pass out, stupid." He whispered with a fond smile as Pidge nuzzled into his shoulder and sniffled in her sleep.

"Quiznak, Pidge..." Hunk sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. He was on his way to the kitchen for a midnight snack(more like four-in-the-morning snack) to see Pidge leaning against a wall, laptop in her lap and her eyes closed.

Hunk closed the laptop, then rubbed his face. How is he supposed to get her back to her room? Hunk shook his head, then hooked his hands under her armpits.

Pidge whines, but doesn't wake as Hunk situates her like a toddler. Her arms toss over his shoulder and her face presses uncomfortably in his neck. He folds his arms under her to keep her up, then grabs her lap top very carefully. "Geez, Pidgey." Hunk muses as he carries her down the halls and back to the rooms. "We need to get you on a better sleeping routine."

Lance whined and kicked at the floor as he paced. "But why me?" Blue whirred amusedly. "Come on, Blue! Can't I just get Shiro or something!?" Blue gestured to him with its unoccupied paw. Lance groaned and slumped. "I know I'm already here, but come on!"

He tossed his arms in Pidge's direction. Somehow, she managed to fall right asleep, laying across Blue's toes. Lance sighed, then sauntered over. "Fine. Just this once."

The blue paladin grabbed Pidge's arms, then hefted her over his shoulder. Lance grunted, carried her no more than four meters when he gave up. He tried not to just throw her at the floor as he put her down. "How the quiznak am I supposed to carry her!?" He shouted. Blue just shrugged. Lance glared up at his lion as it purred. "You're no help."

Lance then grabbed Pidge's wrists and proceeded to drag Pidge out of the hangar. "Quiznak, this is harder!" He whined.

Lance squatted and gathered Pidge in his arms. As he stood, the green paladin was half slung over his shoulder, half cradled in his arms. "This'll have to do." Lance grumbled as he tried not to drop her while he walked.
