Space Girl (Keith X Reader)

NITRO - POOL BATTLE

"Nitro?"

"Yeah?"

"Um, Allura said something about team bonding today. We should get dressed, probably soon."
He cracked a smile.

"Cool. Maybe this time she won't challenge me to a death battle."
I joked.

"Hopefully. Here are the clothes she dropped off, I'll meet you when you're done."
He handed me a folded suit, and closed the bathroom door.

I started putting it on, it was kind of like a wetsuit material. I realized it too late when I'd gotten the entire thing on. It was too much.

Keith opened the bathroom door, and I panicked. I body slammed the door shut, and he waited.

"Are you done yet?"

"Um, just a minute!"

The shorts were okay, but my entire back and stomach was exposed, this was an Altean bathing suit. I panicked even more.

"I'm coming out."
Keith grew impatient, pushing the door open and seeing me.

I kept my hands in front.

"Quiznak, that's revealing..."
Keith blushed.

"I know! You didn't have to say it!"
I snapped.

"It's nice."
He tried.

"You're disgusting."

He stepped closer, taking my hands. His purple eyes widened.
"Oh, so that's what the problem is."

"It's pretty bad. I can't let them see that. It's unsightly."

He ran his finger down the scar.
"I didn't know it was that bad..."

"I was shot in the stomach. So yeah, it's pretty bad."
I snorted.

"Okay. Let me see if I can find a shirt or something."

I nodded, and gratefully took the shirt he gave me. I slipped it on, and he smiled.

"Better?"

"Yeah. Thanks, Space Boy."

He grinned at the nickname.

"Also, I had no idea how skinny your legs were."
I laughed, and he groaned.

"I help you, and this is what I get?"
He gave in, laughing.

We made it to the pool, where Lance was flirting with Allura.

He turned when he saw me.
"Hey, that's not a bathing suit!"

"Where is the one I gave you?"
Allura demanded.

"I'm wearing it under, calm down."

"Is that Keith's?"
Lance narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Keith.

"Yeah, it is. Problem, Lance?"
He shot back.

"Uh, yeah. The problem is, that's your shirt she's wearing, not Allura's bathing suit!"

Shiro interrupted.
"That's enough. We're bonding today, not fighting."

Pidge swam up to me, tossing me a rash guard type swim top.
"This might be better."

"Thanks Pidge."
I got dressed away from the Paladins, putting Keith's shirt back on his bed. I didn't want to get his shirt in the pool, anyways.

I sat on the edge, dipping my feet in the water. Keith swam up to me.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm good."

"Don't you want to swim?"
