Mercy (Reader x Keith)

Part 7

(Half an Hour Later)

"Hey y/n, Y/n!"

y/n stirred a little in her sleep, whimpering at the interruption of her beauty sleep.

"Oh come on you big baby, Pidge has something else planned for everyone that she's been waiting to do with you," said Keith, he laughed a little when he saw her snuggle deeper into her blanket, trying to drown out his voice.

"Don't you make me tickle you," continued Keith, when y/n didn't give him a reply.

"Please don't," was all she could utter out.

"Ok, come here," replied Keith. He threw off her comforter, despite her complaining, then scooped her up into his arms. He then carried her bridal style out of her room and back to everyone else.

"What'dya want," said y/n, glaring at everyone.

"We're going to play truth or dare," said Pidge, with a pretty obvious evil gleam in her eye.

"Nope, I'm out," y/n replied, attempting to escape, but Keith held onto her.

"Okay let's start, truth or dare...y/n!" exclaimed Pidge excitedly.

"Truth," she replied, knowing that there was no escape.

"Okay, now why did you choose the song Mercy, for our karaoke night?" The other girl asked mischievously.

"Frick," though y/n, slowly contemplating how to reply, "Well, I suppose the song reflects my emotions. Believe it or not, someone stole my heart and have yet to return it. The song was relatable because the person messes with my feelings and heart in the same way."

"Okay, my turn," y/n said, turning straight back to Pidge.

"If you had to date any of the guys in this room, who would it be?"

"Crap."

After a few rounds, it went back and forth, with extremely strange and embarrassing dares.  One even consisted of snorting like a pig for two minutes while rolling around in food goo. Long story short, no one could stop laughing.

 Finally, it came to Keith.

"So, who's your crush?" he asked y/n, causing her heart to stop.

"Oh, god no," she stammered attempting to back away. Everyone grabbed onto her, to prevent her escape. After a few minutes of struggling, she gave up, "Fine, my crush is my childhood friend."

WIth that y/n, curled up into a ball of embarrassment. Keith sat there shocked, "Wait, me?"

y/n refused to reply, so everyone else nodded their head.

"Nice to know you feel the same way," he said, was a gentle smirk.

"Wait, you liked me too?" y/n asked shyly, she peeked up slightly to meet his ebony eyes, before darting her eyes back down to the floor in embarrassment.

"Like not liked. Actually, no. Love. y/n I love you, I always have, but I guess I was scared of getting rejected. Ironic isn't it? Someone who has to face a giant, murderous army every day while trying to preserve peace scared of something so simple," he shook his head laughing slightly, there was a rare blush on his face causing Lance to make kissy faces in the background.

"Okay, then one last dare," said Pidge butting in. She was relieved that the cat was finally out of the bag. "You have to kiss."

"PIDGE!" they exclaimed together, before slowly turning towards each other with bright red faces.

"A dares a dare! You have to do it!" exclaimed Allura happily, secretly fangirling.

"Well, I guess," said y/n, she dipped her head down in embarrassment, inching her face towards his an agonizing two millimeters per second.

"I guess we'd have to do it anyway," Keith replied, he tilted her head up so that they'd be eye to eye and smiled reassuringly at her. Shutting his eyes, he finally closed the gap between their faces, resulting in a series of cheers coming from behind them.

OKAY ENOUGH CHEESY CRINGYNESS, AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!

whew, glad that's over with.

(*the end*)

A/N- As you can probably tell, this story is finally finished. Thank you guys so much for the support, and I'm starting a brand new story; It's called Dense, and it's another Keith x Reader pairing. Just to warn you there are a few depressing themes in it, including attempted suicide. After that story, I'm probably going to move on from Voltron, but I will take any appropriate requests. Sorry for making you read such a long note, so have a good day!

New A/N- Okay, I've done minor revisions of the chapters as you may be able to tell. Some scenes should be in greater detail now, so yeah. Also... I LOVE YOU GUYS! I didn't realize that so many people would read this crappy short story, so, thank you. And, I'm sorry. For going on hiatus for so long, to be honest, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to come back to this account, but I decided that it'd be a waste to abandon it forever so I'll be checking at regular intervals. Once again, thank you guys so much for reading this story and have a nice day!
