Your POV

So, long story short: Lance piloted the blue lion. After taking out an alien ship, it lead us to this "space castle", we met some aliens, (Alteans) called Allura and Coran who've been asleep for 10,000 years. They told us the legend of Voltron, and that we're supposedly destined to be paladins of it. Allura explained who'll pilot what.

Keith - Red lion - Stubborn and relies on instinct. Arm of Voltron.

Shiro - Black lion - Strong leader. Head of Voltron.

Pidge - Green lion - Intelligent and daring. Arm of Voltron.

Hunk - Yellow lion - Lifts up the team. Basically the nice one. Leg of Voltron.

We've already clarified that Lance pilots the Blue lion. He's also a leg.

Then there's me...

[Y/N] - Grey lion - Someone who's in touch with their emotions, even if they don't fully understand them their self, and knows best for the team. Heart of Voltron, I control how much power each lion can use, and keep them going.

So everyone split up, and went on a "quest" to find their lion. Mine, was supposedly with Pidge's, the green lion, in some jungle. I thought it'd be the perfect time to ask, but Shiro decided to tag along.

Pidge tracks the lion for a while, until some giant sloth looking person (I'm not joking, it's literally a sloth) offers to take us across the lake in it's canoe.

Pidge starts rambling about how Allura might be wrong like "What if the lion doesn't want me to pilot it?" and "What if it doesn't respond. I wrap my arm around her shoulders, and tell her not to worry.

"If the lion is at all sane, it's going to love you."

Yeah, it's cheesy, but it's true.
I know this is Katie. And I can't help remembering my crush. I think it's decided to resurface.

She smiles at me, and I feel the heat rise in my face.

"Thanks." She whispers.

Then Shiro gives us, what I like to call, a "dad-talk". Which is pretty much a motivational speech, just in Shiro form.

As we approach the surface we see some kind of Temple. Walking up to the Temple, green and silver paths light the way. Shiro nods his head for us to go. Pidge and I sprint up the stairs, laughing and smiling the whole way.

We get our lions, and fly out.
I give Shiro a ride in mine, and we leave.

When we arrive at the castle, Allura congratulates us. Coran informs is the red lion is on a Galra ship, and that the ship is orbiting us.

Everyone bickers about to do. Lance and Hunk suggest we leave, while Keith suggests we stay to fight. They go back and forth for a while, with Lance insulting Keith every chance he gets, until I decide to interject.

"Keith's right ..."
Everyone looks at me in shock.

"Traitor!" Lance yells.

"Look! He's right! We can't give up so easy! You heard Allura! We're Paladins of Voltron now! And if we give up, then every civilization has no one to protect them! Are we really going to let our selfishness cause innocent lives to be lost?!" I scream, losing my temper.

"I agree with [Y/N]," Shiro responds.

"Let's do this!" Pidge yells, determined.

I wish I could tell her. That I know. That I love her. But I'm terrified. I'm not brave enough. Allura's right, I don't understand my emotions. I wish I could just curl up in a hole and die. But I need to stay strong. I cannot let my dumb emotions get in the way, no matter how much it hurts me. I have to put aside my feelings to defeat Zarkon. If it's the last thing I do.

Even though it's slowly killing me.
