Klanuary - One shots full of fluff

Day 2 - Movie night

I walked into the common area, and found Keith and Pidge huddled in the corner of the couch, having a hushed conversation. All of a sudden, Pidge looked up with a start, jumped up from her corner of the couch, and walked away, never breaking eye contact with me, a sly grin on her face.

"What was all that about?" I asked, sliding up next to Keith.

"Oh that, that was nothing." replied Keith, "You know Pidge will do anything to make you suspicious of her. Her main goal in life is to cause chaos."

"That's true." I said, looking at Keith from the corner of my eye, "I still don't believe you though."
Keith just shrugged, and started flipped through the papers he had in his lap. I sat back into the corner, bringing my knee up, and extending it behind Keith. Keith sat back, snuggled into my chest, and continued reading. I rested my chin on his head, and closed my eyes.

Not much later, Shiro walked in. He'd been pretty on edge lately, it had been too quiet for his liking, and he was waiting for disaster to strike.

"We don't have the luxury of being idle, you two. Keith, I need you on the bridge, Lance, head to the training room, or find something useful to do!" he snapped, and walked back out.

"Yes Sir!" Keith mumbled as he stretched and stood up.

"Don't be too hard on him," I said, reaching out for him to help me up, "It's hard not to stress out here, I'm suspicious that it's been so quiet too."

"Yeah, I know. But it's been so full on, we haven't stopped since we left Earth. It's nice to just be able to breathe for once."

"I know," I said, wrapping him in my arms, and bending down to kiss his forehead, "That's why we've got to make the most of the moments we have" I squeezed him tighter, and he sighed into my chest. 

We stood like that for another minute, before I let him go, and stepped away. He pouted, and took my hand. We walked together, hand in hand, until we got to the training room, where he left me, and continued on to the bridge.

I barely saw him for the rest of the day, Shiro kept him busy on the bridge, and when I did see him, talking to Pidge, or Hunk, he would act weirdly, and quickly make an excuse to get away. I was beginning to feel hurt and rejected. What was going on? Every time I questioned one of the others, they just brushed it off and told me Shiro was on his back, and sent him to tell Pidge to check the systems, or he wanted to know if we had enough supplies, or whether we needed to make a stop. 

They were all valid reasons, and things I could totally see Shiro stressing about, but if this was all so important, then why was I being left out? Why couldn't I help? I made my way to the bridge to see.

"Hey guys!" I said as I walked in to see Allura, Shiro and Coran standing around a map. "I came to see if you needed a hand with anything?" I asked, looking around the room. Keith was nowhere to be seen.

"Ah, perfect timing!" Coran said, as they all turned around, "I need someone to come down with me to clean and check all the pods are in working order!"

"Not this again!" I complain, "Last time one of them tried to kill me!"

"I'm sure you will be fine. There aren't any Galra to infiltrate the systems this time. It would really be a great help!" assures Allura, turning away from me, and back to the map, "It will get it done in half the time, and then we shall all be done in time for dinner."

"It's settled then" says Shiro, turning back to the map himself

"Great!" says Coran, walking over, and taking me by the arm, "I'll make sure to take good care of you this time. No falling into the cryogenic pod for you this time!"
