Chapter 13
Shira
It was a good two hours later that Shira woke up and knew even before her eyes opened that there was something missing. She moved her arms around and felt around the space between her and Keira. A Lana-sized space, if you will. Shira frowned as her eyes opened and her memories caught up to her. Shira blushed and buried her head in her pillow at the memories of cuddling Lana, whispering in her ear, falling asleep and waking up to her. It was almost like they were already in a relationship.
Keira woke up shortly after and whined when she didn't feel warmth from either Lana or Shira. Kiera opened her eyes and glanced around the room. After a through scan, she made eye contact with her lover. "Where is she?" The she in question being the blue paladin.
"She's with Hunk." Shira responded pulling the red paladin over to her. Keira sighed, but allowed herself to be tucked into the woman's chest. "Why? Do you want to go find her?"
Keira perked up at the notion of seeing the blue paladin and moved to get out of the bed, but was stopped by Shira pinning her down. Keira opened her mouth in protest, but before she could say anything a tongue was invading the cavern. Shira ran her tongue along the other's, tracing each tooth and leaving not a single nook, cranny or crevice untouched. It was a good three minutes before the paladins came up for air, Shira smirking and Keira a breathless mess. " Now we can go find her."

When the two paladins walked into the kitchen, they were met with the sight of Pidge sitting on the counter and Hunk making some kind of cake. The two of them were arguing about which code was better than the other. It was all gibberish to Shira. She was the leader, not the tech guru. They had Pidge and Hunk for a reason.
Pidge began to yell, which prompted Hunk to start yelling louder, which caused Pidge to yelleven louder .
"Hey!" The resounding silence after Shira's shout was bliss. The black paladin looked around the room and noticed that one blue eyed beauty was missing from the picture. "Do you know where Lana is? She said that she would be here with you, Hunk."
The yellow paladin gave her a strange look and shared a glance with Pidge. "No, why would she say that? I've been here for, what, three-ish hours and I haven't seen her since she left training." Hunk shrugged, resuming his piping.
Now, that didn't make sense. Lana spent at least an hour with them before she left, presumably to be with Hunk. Did Lana lie to them? Why would she do that? Was she that uncomfortable with them that she lied to get out of the situation? The thought that the two of them making the girl uncomfortable made Shira taste something sour.
Before Shira could dwell in her thoughts any longer, Coran's voice came over the castle intercom. "Paladins, please assemble at the bridge.* There is no need for alarm, I merely have a surprise for you."
The four paladins gave each other curious glances before following Coran's request. Hunk put the cake away, and knowing Lana would try to sneak a some later, cut out a piece and placed it on a small plate before storing that as well. Shira smiled fondly as she watch Hunk pick up Pidge and set her on his shoulders.
The paladin's walked out of the kitchen and down the hall towards the bridge, Pidge oohingand ahhing at her new vintage point of the world, much to her fellow teammates amusement. The door to the bridge opened and the paladins were met with the sight of Allura trying to stifle her laughter against Lana's neck while Lana herself was giving Coran an unimpressed look.
