Stories Of Keith Kogane and Cole Autherium

Cole Tries To Dance

Cole Autherium loved music. It was a strong part of her life and she always had it with her. Until the day she was shot into space without her fucking phone. Sure it had been months since then so if she still did have the object it would probably be dead by now and she'd have no way to charge it anyway. Which sucked ass. That was what she missed the most from Earth if she was being honest. Her music. Her coping mechanism. Gone. That's why she was so ecstatic to find out that Pidge could use her alien computer to save any music someone had on their phone. Luckily it was Lance. That's why Cole now had some kind of alien ipod with a playlist of music of about 150 songs, good thing the two comedians had similar tastes in music. This all brings us to Cole in her room on the castle ship listening to Shakira: Hips Don't Lie blast through her headphones as she tidied up her small space. She surprisingly could mess up the room even with such a small amount of items and liked to make sure everything was organized, dusted, and properly cleaned. She never paid attention to the time when she did this, or to her surroundings which was one of the reasons they had to add blaring lights to the alarm system so Cole could know if there was an emergency without her ears.

The time was currently, well, you couldn't really tell in space but it was time for lunch according to Hunk and Keith was sent to retrieve Cole to eat. He knocked on the doors to her room but didn't expect it to open. Her door wasn't locked so it automatically slid open on its own and Keith wasn't ready for what he saw. Cole's back was facing him, her music so loud he could slightly hear it and her hips were swaying back in forth. Keith was dying and it was mostly Lance and Astrid's fault for designing and making them all casual clothes and Cole's consisted of some very short shorts and a crop top that no one got to see her in unless she was cleaning. Cole's hands were sliding through her hair and her back was slightly arched. Needless to say Keith was no longer breathing.
"C-Cole?" Right. She couldn't hear him. Which meant he'd need to approach her. You know, once he remembered how to walk again. After a second Keith cleared his throat and entered her room, the doors sliding closed behind him. The lighting in Cole's room was different, it was more of a yellow or orange color because she couldn't deal with the white light the other rooms used, the lighting looked so beautiful on her skin. He tapped her shoulder and pulled out one of her headphones and she screeched.
"Who- Keith?" Cole asked, turning her head to look over her shoulder, ceasing the movements of her hips. "What are you doing here? Did you see me- oh my god you did. This never happened." Cole said, cheeks heating up. No one was allowed to see her "dance" because she wasn't good at it in her opinion.
"Hunk told me to come get you. Lunch is ready." Despite what he said he moved closer to Cole, grabbed her headphone that was hanging down and put it in his ear, letting Shakira feel his head. He hesitantly placed his hands on her hips, his chest almost pressed against her back and his lips hovering near her ear. "Show me how you did that thing with your hips." He said lowly. Cole stared off into the distance but nodded, once again she brought her hands up above her head but this time she brought them back far enough to tangle them in Keith's hair. She waited for the chorus of the song and then bent her knees, lowered her hips, moved them to the right and then brought them back up, almost in a circular motion. Keith's hips followed close behind hers. They danced to the song together for a few minutes and then it ended. Keith chuckled in her ear and Cole pulled away, taking her headphones back from Keith's ear and smiled softly at her.
"We should go before Shiro comes looking for us." Cole said, grabbing a hoodie to throw over her crop top. Keith felt his cheeks tint pink.
"Y-yeah, good idea." And they left together. The red paladin promised himself to come fetch Cole for meal times more often if that was what it would lead to.
