Something Else

Awkward Night

Pidge POV
I've never laughed so hard in my life.
Not even with Matt. And that's saying something.
I looked around at everyone and realized that I could never get friends like these again. They've always been there for me and they were especially supportive when I told them I was a girl. That's was when our bond went especially strong. Even with Keith. And Takashi. Ahem...um...Shiro. I meant to say Shiro.
"Pidge! Seriously?? Could you have picked a more lucrative game to play???"Screeched Lance.
Keith turned around ,or at least attempted to twist his neck to snap at him.
"Just shut up! I can't believe I agreed to play this game."he growled. Geesh Keith. But I know he was joking around. He can't really be that mean. And he really likes this game. He told me himself.
I looked up at Allura and Coran. They both shook their heads and shrugged. I saw them exchange words and they both nodded with a poker face. Huh. Weird.
Coran looks at his watch and looks at me. "I'll be heading off to bed now my dear. Sweet dreams!"I nodded and smiled. "Goodnight Coran!"
Allura turns around and says the same and vice versa.

Shiro's POV

I was laying in bed just waking up. I didn't feel like getting up after work so I just stayed here. I felt lazy I'll admit it. For once in my life I felt lazy.
I can hear the others playing their game and Lance shrieking like a little girl. And cussing in Spanish.

Of course.

I thought about getting up because I was kinda hungry. And thirsty. But then that would mean bright lights and walking.
I sigh and get up. Yeah I need to eat.
I went to go get my shorts on and grabbed my phone.
•One new message•
I open my phone and click on file attachment.
It was a picture of Keith and Pidge. They both were laughing and their faces were red. Sweat dripped down Keith's face. Pidge was looking at the camera with her mouth wide open laughing. Her hair was in a short ponytail. She looked adorable in this picture.
I smile and bring my phone with me to the kitchen. Ima need something to do while I eat.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I walk out and follow the loud sounds of my roommates. I looked down another hall and saw that Allura and Coran's bedroom lights were off. Makes sense they have to work tomorrow.
The light slowly faded in the hallway as I turned. I made a beeline to the kitchen so I won't have to run into anyone.
I walk in without turning on the light and go grab a glass. Walking to the fridge I trip on something.
"What the-oh my god really Hunk"I mutter.
He left his chef hat and his mittens on the ground along with a box of pasta.
I pick it up and walk to put it away when I hear Pidge's voice coming closer. Oh um..well how nice. Of all people I had to see her.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Pidge POV

  I walk past the boys and accidentally trip over Hunk.
"Sorry Hunk! Didn't see you there hon."I say quickly.
"It's fine pidge I was just laying here you know"he says sweetly. Oh Hunk always so sweet and never gets mad. Unless someone hurts one of us. Then he turns into a raging teddy bear.

Usually I don't use the light in the kitchen at night because I memorized where everything else.
I walk up to the cabinet and pull out my favorite cereal: Reese's Puffs. I mean hello??Peanut butter and Chocolate???
I leave it in the table and go grab myself a bowl. To which I realized was on top of the cupboard.

Dangit.

I climb onto the counter and reach over to grab it.
"You need some help?" A voice says. I yelp as I freak out and hit my head.
Ow.
Before I can really process anything I fell down and was expecting to hit the floor hard; but a strong pair of arms caught me midway. I open my eyes(when did I shut them?) and look up. I can't see who it is but then I smell his scent.
Really. Of all people who could be here it had to be him?
I attempt to get out of his arms but he resisted and walked over to the light switch. He switches it on and turns his head to me.
"You ok? I don't think you should be climbing on the counter Pidge." Shiro says.
I shrug and gulp."What can I say. I'm short. It's not like I can really do anything about it except figure out how to do things for myself."
He shakes his head. "Yeah but it would make more sense to just grab a chair. What if I wasn't here huh? You could have been hurt really bad. And I would be sad. Er well. Everyone would. Heh. Um yeah." He looks away.
Well that was a bit awkward.
Ok well you know what? "I'm hungry. And I want my cereal. So can I get down so I can eat?"
He looks at me and pouts."But you're so tiny like a kitten and I like holding you. "

....

*silent screaming*

Well that made me blush hardcore.
I push away from him and get the bowl. "Oh want some??? I promise I won't snap when you touch my cereal." He stares at his arms and then looks at me.
"Um yeah. Yeah that would be nice. I'll grab a bowl for myself."
"Can you get the milk too hon?"I say. I saw a dash of red on his cheeks when I said that. Huh. Ok then.
He grabs them both and sits down at the table. He hands me the milk silently and I pour myself some. I gave it back and he did the same.
We sat in silence. But I have a feeling it wasn't going to be the end of awkward times for us.
