Voltron oneshots

Hippo lover

Since Keith had learned about his true ancestry he's been more withdrawn. Even with you and Shiro. You always want to talk to him about it but he brushes it off.
This time he was out on a mission and you were with Allura and Coran helping running things from the castle. Which meant you had a full view of Keith being reckless and putting himself in pointless danger.
"KEITH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!" Yelling over the coms.
"I've got it Y/N, just let me do my job" he huffed, obviously bothered by you. Only making your blood boil.
"Your job is to protect the universe not blatantly get yourself killed. Now listen to Shiro dammit and follow the plan!" You scolded before tearing the earpiece out of your ear. Does he not understand how scary it is for you to know how much danger he's already in just being a paladin? Does he have to make it worse?
You stayed quiet the rest of the mission, making Coran and Allura a bit uneasy. You were usually all in during missions, and did everything in your power to help.
When they came back your eyes locked on Keith. "Can you guys give us a moment?"
The other paladins immediately exited the room giving you two privacy. The both of you stood in silence. Crossing your arms while keeping your eyes on him.
"Well?"
"I don't know what you want me to say" He gestured to you.
"Just talk to me Keith! Are you okay? Since you found out about your heritage you've-" You began but were soon cut off by a rage filled Keith. "I'VE WHAT Y/N?" he yelled.
"You're withdrawn! Y-you're reckless and emotionless. I'm scared Keith!" Slightly stuttering while taking steps closer to him.
"Scared that I'm what? A monster? That I'm going to turn against everyone?!"
"I never said that" Shaking your head at him, a defensive tone in your voice. Your fists clenching, hating it when he put words in your mouth.
"Well you implied it, God can't you just let it go! You're such a damn pain, just fuck off!" He yelled. Out of reflex you slapped him across the face. The sound resonating in the empty launch bay.
"It's not being nosy or a pain it's about being worried about someone you care about!" Getting in the final words before turning away and rushing out of the room, wiping away unshed tears in the process.

Keith ran his hands through his hair, "Dammit" he muttered. He didn't mean to go off on you, it just happened. He's always had trouble with his temper and finding out he's part Galra only made it worse.
"Keith"
His head immediately shooting to where the sound of his name came from. Seeing Shiro standing there, wearing a compassionate expression. "I really messed up this time Shiro" Keith admitted, sitting down on a bench in the launch bay.
Shiro sat beside him, "What happened?"
"Y/N's just worried about me, I know that. I want to be able to open up but I just can't, it makes me feel so broken. I feel so evil, but I'm not evil. I-I'm just lost. I said awful things and I regret everyone of them." burrowing his face in his hands.
Shiro let out a breath, "Then tell'em that. Don't bottle it up, let someone in. No one better than Y/N." patting his shoulder before leaving Keith to his thoughts.
Letting out a sigh Keith went over all of the things you'd done for him, before and since he figured out he was Galra. You always let him speak his mind, trained with him, there for him when he's homesick, tend to any injuries. You did everything you could to make him smile and he now realizes how he has been taking it for granted.
Sick of wallowing Keith stood up and headed to your room.
Hesitating to knock on the door as he stood outside of it. Taking a deep breath he let out a few light rasps on the door. Hearing your footfalls before the door opened.
He visibly tensed when it opened, taking in your red and slightly puffy eyes. "Y/N I'm so sorry, I didn't mean anything I said. I was just angry and frustrated." You stayed silent looking at him. He gulped down his nerves, "I'm ready to talk, to open up. You deserve to know what's going on with me, and I should have talked to you earlier."
Letting out a sigh you stepped aside and gestured for him to come in. He walked by, never taking his eyes off you. The both of you sat on your bed as he began to speak.
"Y/n, I-I'm scared. Scared that I'll become one of them, that I'll become a monster. But from hearing how Ulaz helped Shiro and how there are some rebels I know that they aren't all bad. I'm scared that I'm going to let the others down, that I'll let you down. You all care for me so much but I can't help but feel..." he trailed off not knowing what word to use.
"Damaged"
He looked at you, shock on his face. But the expression melted and a small smile took its place. "Yeah" he nodded.
He felt butterflies in his stomach when you reached over and took his hand. Shifting so he would look at you. "Keith, everyone is damaged in someway. It's opening up and being willing to fix what's broken that separates the weak from the strong. And you're one of the strongest people I know. Don't ever be afraid to talk to me and you'll never let me down." soothingly running your thumb over his knuckles.
After hearing those words he cupped your cheek and connected his lips to yours in a single swift motion. Catching you off guard at first, but he smiled when you relaxed into the kiss. A kiss that took your breath away.
When he pulled away he kept his nose touching yours. A beautiful grin on your face, "Apology accepted"
He simply chuckled before kissing you again. and again. and again.
