Lion's Cub

The Blue Paladins

"Lance, are you okay?" Pidge asked.
"No! Im not okay! How could someone do that to keith! To a child!" Lance's voice was sharp, eyes hard.
Keith began to shake, hearing Lance's raised voice scared him.
"I sorry!" Keith cried.
"What? Keith no no im not mad at you shh" Lance said, voice lowering immediately. Lance pulled Keith close and stroked his hair softly and keith calmed. Lance sighed softly, and looked at keith still in the pod suit. Luckily the suit shrunk with him.
"We need to get him clothes, pidge do you have a spare shirt?"
"I, yeah, but why me?"
"You are the smallest after all" shiro said, trying to reason with the green paladin.
"Ok fine; itll still be too big"
"Better than a pod suit"
Pidge came back moments later, a t shirt between her fingers. She handed it to lance. Lance pressed a button on the back of the suit so it slipped down to keiths waist. He then slipped the t shirt over his head and keith put his arms in. The t shirt fell past keiths knees and lance pulled the suit the rest of the way off. Luckily, Keith's boxers had shrunk with the suit. Keith squirmed out of lances grasp and started to move so the bottom of the shirt swished back and forth. Keith giggled and the paladins watched amused by Keith's antics.
"Keith, you wanna spend some time with good ol' pidgey?" Pidge asked, crouching to almost Keith's height.
"Itll be fun..."
Keith smiled and held out his hand
"Ok!"
Pidge took Keith's hand and walked out the med bay with him.
"Thats probably not gonna end well" hunk pointed out once the door closed.
"I have to agree with you on that, hunk."

"You know the plan Keith?"
" 'es, pide!"
"Pidge."
"P-pidg"
"Close enough"

"Ance! Ance hep!" Keith cried, as he ran into the living room.
"Keith? What's wrong?" Lance asked, immediately concerned.
"Pidg, stuck! Stuck!"
"Pidge is stuck? Where?"
"Come!" Keith cried pulling lance.
Keith pulled lance to pidge's lab. Lance heard the screams.
"Im stuck! Someone help!"
Lance listened closely, whipping his head to a storage closet near her desk.
"Hang on pidge! Im coming"
"Get me out of here!"
Lance pulled the door till it opened, rushing in. He tripped on a wire and a large bucket was poured over his head.
"Wha..?"
Then he heard them
"Bahaha! Oh i told you he'd fall for it!"
Pidge was basucally dying with laughter and keith was giggling.
"Hehehe! Ance fa fo it!"
Lance looked at his skin, splatteted with blue.
"Paint? Seriously? This better come out!" Lance whined.
"It will, i swear"
"Well in that case..." lance then leapt forward, grabbing pidge and keith. He pulled them to his paint covered body, coating them as well.
"Lance!"
"Ance!"

The three stumbled into the dining hall for lunch, dried paint stuck on their bodies, hair and clothes.
"What happenedto you three?" Hunk asked, setting the food down.
"These two," lance pointed at pidge and keith.
"Are double trouble."
"And you were their first victim?" Hunk chuckled.
"Yes, but i got my revenge."
Lance sat down and placed keith on his lap so the young boy could reach the table. Keith grabbed his spoon and started eating, trying and mostly succeeding at staying clean.
Lance dug in to his food as well. The rest of the team entered withthe woosh of the door. Allura's face shifted into a look of confusion.
"What in the name of alfor happened?" Coran asked, looking at the painted paladins. Shiro spoke up, amused.
"Looks like we've got 3 blue paladins now."
Lance grinned as the yellow and green paladins groaned at shiro's words.
