After an attempted experiment to strengthen the team after an exhausting battle, Lance, Keith, Pidge and Hunk are accidentally turned into babies! While Coran works on finding an antidote, it's up to Shiro, everyone's favourite Space Dad and Allura...
Hello everybody! Here's something a little new, for I've not done much Voltron themed stuff here or on my YT channel. But lo and behold, I have fallen prey to this show's pure amazingness. Thus, I have written this story. I've actually been thinking about this concept for ages, and it feels great to finally write it. So here, enjoy part one of this fanfiction and let me know what you think! Future parts will be a little longer if you like this and wish for more. Quick question, who's your favourite Voltron character? Mine is Pidge, she just dove straight into my fangirl heart from the word go! Without further ado, please enjoy part one of We Love You (Space) Dad. 😊
PS: Here's a picture of Shiro that perfectly fits this story XD

"Oh man am I so ready to chill out!" Hunk moaned, walking through the doors of the castle and into the control room.
"I forgot how draining this stuff can be." Pidge said softly, flopping into a chair.
"W-what? You g-guys are tired? Weak..lings.." Keith panted, leaning on his knees and looking down at the floor.
"Nice... Try." Was all Lance could say to his hotheaded friend before collapsing on the floor. Shiro, upon seeing the lazy mess his team was, clapped his hands together thrice and gave them all a stern look.
"You can't give in. Don't allow yourself to get lazy when Zarkon is on our doorstep! We have to keep training, or every battle will end this way. Come on, everybody up!" Shiro said, trying his best to seem important, although part of him doubted it.
"C'mon Shiro, just give us a break already! Being such an awesome sharpshooter and all-round cool guy is harder work than it looks." Lance said, flexing his muscles (which he did not have). Pidge and Keith rolled their eyes.
"I hate to say it but I agree with Lance. As badly as I want to keep going, I'm drained." Keith said, wiping his brow with a cloth Hunk had given him.
"Ok then, I understand. Half an hour break, and then back at it." Shiro said, as the other paladins groaned. "No excuses Lance!" Shiro said sternly as he saw the blue paladin about to open his mouth. "I'm going to my room. See you guys in thirty." And with that, he left.
"Who's hungry?" Hunk asked, who was immediately greeted with a chorus of "yes". Straightaway, the four went to the kitchen to satisfy their empty stomachs.

Shiro hated to admit it, but he too was rather tired. He just tried to fight it off, being the team's leader and all he had some pretty big boots to fill, being that he had to keep everyone focused and in order, while also keeping the morale up in the tougher times. He'd always been told he was a born leader, but he still felt he was missing something. Something that would make him closer to his team and create a bond not even every evil of the universe could break. He was so deep in his thoughts it took him a while to hear shouting and crashing noises coming from the kitchen, followed by a loud: "SHIRO!" Which he recognised as the princess' voice. Oh no, what now? He thought, running to the kitchen to see all hell had broke lose, in that the paladins were aggressively arguing and occasionally throwing food goo at one another. Allura and Coran were trying their best to stop them, but to no avail.
"Oh look, Keith's got food goo stuck in his mullet! How do you feel about that, huh pretty boy?" Lance shouted, only to get a face full of food goo violently thrown in his face by a fuming Keith.
"Shut up!" He yelled.
"Paladins, stop it at once!" Allura yelled, but was drowned out by Pidge's screams as she ducked under a counter to avoid an avalanche of food goo.
"Whoops." Hunk laughed, as Pidge gave him a death glare through her goo-stained glasses. Shiro had seen enough.
"CUT IT OUT, RIGHT NOW!" He yelled, causing the paladins to look his way with guilty expressions on their faces.
"I leave you for five minutes, FIVE MINUTES, and this is what I come back to? For goodness sake, you're better than this! Right, training is starting now, no excuses!" He yelled, walking out of the room. "I'll be at the training deck. You had better all be there in two minutes." Allura and Coran gave the paladins disapproving looks as they exited the kitchen.
Geez, I feel like their dad or something. Shiro thought as he put his suit on. I'm done with this. What I need is some way of controlling them... I just don't know how I'd do that. They're not little kids! They're the defenders of the universe! Maybe after training I could ask Coran and Allura. They'd probably know. With a little more hope in the situation, he stepped out onto the training deck and started doing some stretches.
