Mercy (Reader x Keith)

Part 5

(2 Days Later)

"Heh, agreeing to Allura and Pidge was possibly the worst mistake I've ever made," thought y/n. Keith finally convinced (aka threatened) Hunk to tell him the deal between y/n and Allura and has been questioning her to no end about why she chose the song Mercy.

*While training*

Dodging the gladiator yet again, y/n quickly step forward and struck its arm, then delicately skipped away. Being a singer, y/n had to learn to dance, so she had also studied hip hop and contemporary.

All of a sudden a panel on the ceiling opened, startling y/n. "Eh?!"

Taking the opportunity while y/n was distracted, the Gladiator come up behind and knocked y/n's blade out of her hand.

y/n fell to the ground since she was using her sword like a cane when she paused to stare at the ceiling.

"Level failed," echoed a robotic voice throughout the arena.

"Ugh," sighed y/n, collapsing on her back.

"Finally," echoed a voice from above the exhausted girl's head.

y/n gasped, and Keith's head appeared through an opening in the ceiling.

"So, why'd you choose that song, do you have a crush or something?" He asked, only to have her flip him off then walk away.

*In the evenings*

"Hahh, that was nice," sighed y/n, stepping into her bedroom. Steam rose slowly from her body, and she was about to remove her bath towel when the door to her bathroom slammed shut.

"AHH, WHAT THE?!" Shouted y/n, as Keith rose from his leaning position on her wall.

"Do girls always take that long," said Keith casually, a situation like this wasn't that unusual for them since they grew up together. "Hmph, you've developed."

y/n flushed a deep shade of red, as Keith's face remained neutral. Bending down slightly, y/n took off her slipper then chucked it at Keith.

"Hey! Okay, okay, I'm leaving," said Keith, putting his hands up in defense. y/n stood there pretty much paralyzed with embarrassment. Right when he was about to step out, he popped his head back in with a smirk, "So, who's your crush?"

*End of Flashbacks*

This started to drive y/n absolutely insane. It got to the point where she refused to talk to him for extended periods of time.

"Y/n," whined Keith, a rare display of puppy eyes gracing his face.

"No." she replied, walking away. All this nagging from Keith was beginning to give her a giant headache and once of out sight, she tenderly started to massage her forehead.

Meanwhile in the background~.

"Even watching him is depressing," sighed Shiro, side-eyeing Pidge and Allura.

They gave him wary smiles, continuing to feign innocence. Pidge went back to being lost in thought, ignoring the accusing glares from the rest of the paladins.

"What? The plan sounded decent at the time.." Allura replied, pouting slightly.

"Hey, I have an idea!" piped Pidge, snapping her head up. Her eyes blazed with mischief, her mouth caught in a determined smirk.

"Oh, no," said Lance.

"Don't worry, I think it'll work," she replied, wiggling her eyebrows mischievously.

"For some reason, I don't think we should trust you," said Hunk, nervously.

"Shut up."
