An Experiment (Pidge X borrower!Lance)

Voltron g/t woohoo!!

In all honesty, Lance should've seen this coming...

He'd been getting sloppy with his borrowing runs over the past week, leaving behind evidence of a presence in the home. He overheard one of the humans living there, a girl, muttering to herself about catching mice. He should've realized she had been referring to him.

And yet here he was. Desperately pounding on the strange glowing walls of his trap. He backed into the middle, his breathing becoming less stable. He'd been caught. By a human! Examining the walls closer, only added to Lance's confusion. It didn't look like any human object he'd ever seen before from other houses he'd lived in.

"It worked! My trap worked!" He heard from outside the strange little box. He shrunk into himself, realizing who it was. The girl. He heard the approaching footsteps, and felt the looming darkness of her shadow fall over him. Lance considered himself to be pretty brave. His parents even supporting that claim before he'd left his home.

But now? Now, he felt terrified. Powerless to do anything. He felt like the human girl was already grasping him in her tight, unforgiving fist, and yet she hadn't even reached for him.

"Finally, I'll have a live test subject for my experiments and inventions! And you'll stop stealing my peanut butter cookies." Lance's body tensed, and his legs felt like jelly.

"T-Test subject...?" He whispered to himself. She was going to keep him in a cage, locked away from the world. Testing stuff on him. He fell to his knees, and hunched over, not having the will to look at the human.

"N-No please...please." Lance quietly begged, tears beginning to trickle down his face. He tried to stop them, but to no avail, as the fear for his life overrided his pride.

"Wait a second...you're not a mouse...oh my gosh." Lance heard the girl suddenly whisper. And then, like magic, the walls of his trap receded. Freeing him, but also leaving no barrier between him and the girl.

"Incredible! A t-tiny person?...But how? How are you real?" She inquired, eyes lit up in awe at his presence. Lance hesitantly looked up. And up, and up to meet her gaze. He gulped fearfully as he took in her appearance.

She was wearing a green and white shirt, and had short light brown hair. She also had a pair of quite large glasses on. Scientists wear big glasses to study their subjects don't they? Lance thought to himself. They locked eyes for a few seconds, and Lance took a couple steps back. She continued to look down at him, still surprised. Then she saw his body shaking.

"Oh...you poor thing." She cooed, then looked at herself, "a-am I...am I scaring you?" She asked. The borrower was curling in on himself, and didn't reply.

"Here, let me..." she trailed off, reaching down, and grabbing Lance in a firm, but gentle fist. Lance, however, did not appreciate the sudden handling. He kicked and screamed with all he had, but not even his best efforts did anything to weaken the massive being. He slumped against her fingers, defeated, and let himself be taken to what he knew would be his certain doom.

Pidge's mind was going crazy. A tiny humanoid creature?!?! She never thought stable living beings were possible at that size due to the square cube law...and yet, she was holding one in her hand, although the little guy didn't seem too pleased about being picked up.

She had so many questions she wanted to ask this boy. Where did he come from? Are there more of him? What is he? Her scientific brain swirled. What if she showed him to her father? Maybe he'd take him to labs, and their family would get rich because of her discovery! They would get tons of money, and she could use that money to work onbigger and better inventions! Pidge's ideas came to a halt as she took a glance down at the boy in her loose fist. She immediately noticed the tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, how she could feel his entire body tremble against her fingers. He wasn't just scared of her.
