Voltron Sidekick?

Unfinished Business (part 3)

After planning for a few vargas, we came up with a way to save Lance. Pidge managed to hack into the Galra security system and got an entire map of the ship with heat detectors so that we will track Galra soldiers too. Shiro and I will then follow Pidge's directions to find where they're keeping Lance and hopefully, as a bonus, take down the ship once we're done. After my little incident when training with Keith, we decided to keep the fighting to Shiro. Keith and Hunk will stay undercover and cover us from outside. Seems pretty legit, no?

Right now, I'm in the black lion with Shiro on our way to where the Galra ship that took Lance is located. Man, it sure is quiet without him. He probably would've been making some stupid remarks or additions to the plan.

I sit down on the floor next to Shiro's seat. He looks down at me and pats me on the head, "We'll get him back, Y/n. Don't worry."

I sigh, "Yeah..."

Once we arrive, the red lion-with Keith, Hunk, and Pidge inside-flies off to a hiding spot where they still have eyes on me and Shiro. Shiro parks the lion in a desolate area where galra can't find it.

"Alright," Shiro helps me with my helmet, "ready?"

"Yeah, sure." I shrug.

"Okay, let's go." Shiro leads us behind a rock just outside the entrance. "How's it lookin, Pidge?"

"There are a few soldiers out there. If you make it quick, you should be able to take em out without anyone seeing."

"Let's go, cover me." Shiro whispers to me. I nod.

He jumps over the boulder and takes out one of them and I shoot the other, just grazing Shiro's head. He looks back at me slightly shocked, "You almost shot me." He grumbles as we run into the ship.

"But I didn't!" I give him a smug grin. "Alright Pidge, where are we headed?" I say through the helmet microphone.

"Um...if you take the next right, you'll get past a bunch of Galra, but there are a few down that way so stay alert."

"Got it." Shiro and I run down the hallway on the right and hide behind a wall from some approaching Galra. I pull out my gun and aim for their heads. Right after I shoot one of them, Shiro runs from behind the wall and kills the second one.

"Pidge, what's our next move?" Shiro says.

"Keep going down that way. If you keep going straight, the prisoner cells should be on the left."

We continue running until we hear Pidge again, "Wait! Wait! Get out of there! Galra up ahead!"

We stop in our tracks. I freeze up as soon as I see three Galra soldiers come from the corner. Shiro took no time at all to jump into action. He grabs me, uses his robot hand to get into a cell, and pushes me in.

The cell is empty but super compact. I can't even move, and it's a little awkward to be pressed up to Shiro like this. Even he seems slightly uncomfortable.

"Just...just hang tight, Y/n." He looks over his shoulder out the window and waits for the mob to leave. It's so quiet, I can hear my breaths.

As soon as they leave, Shiro turns his head back to me and lets out the breath he was holding in, I do the same. Our eyes suddenly lock. Whoa, that came out of nowhere and for some reason, I feel like I can't look away. What is wrong with me?!

"Y/n..." He whispers, making me hold my breath. It could be a glare from the glass on his helmet, but it almost looks like he's blushing, "u-uhm...we should probably keep going." He takes one quick glance outside before opening the cell door.
