Painted Red (Klance)

10.

My name is Camille

What's yours?

"They actually replied!?" Pidge screamed and started rubbing her arm on the couch. "This is too weird for me!"

"You scored a chick!" Lance yelled as Shiro gave him a disapproving look.
"Pidge, calm down. This is a good thing. They could know where Keith is." Shiro nudged her with his elbow as she sighed.

"But still! How am I even supposed to reply?"
"You could tell them your name?" Lance suggested as he peered over her shoulder. She pushed him away and growled.
"No way! If they're on the galra side of the war, then they don't need to know who I am!"
"But if we ask if they know where Keith is, then they'll pretty much already know so-"

"I guess it can't hurt to be cautious..." Hunk mumbled and Pidge nodded along.
"See, see Hunk thinks it's a bad idea!"
"Well I- I um... I think we should try something else before giving out personal information is all." He rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed.

"Hunk does make a good point though. Let's just ask a few other questions before giving out your name, see if they're trustworthy." Shiro decided as he stood and stretched a bit.
"But they have to be trustworthy right? Pidge wouldn't have them as a soulmate is they weren't." Lance pointed out.

"Yeah, but what if it was supposed to be like some kind of romance story. Like, two warriors destined to be together, but on different sides of the war. Will they come together? Or will they both fall?" Hunk added some jazz hands at the end of his over exaggerated explanation.

"My life is not some shitty romcom!" Pidge shouted and crossed her arms.
"I didn't say it was a romcom!" Hunk defended.
"Sounds more like a drama then a romcom." Lance added as Pidge swatted at his head.

"I don't think that's how it works..." Allura trailed off as Shiro just shook his head and sighed.
"Well whatever you decide on writing, you should do it quickly." Shiro smiled encouragingly as Pidge just sighed in annoyance.

"Well what do you suggest I write?"
"Maybe ask if they like killing paladins." Lance shrugged.
"This is supposed to be serious!"
"Then just write your name already! It'll be fine."
"You know what? Screw it!" Pidge picked up a pen and turned away from everyone else, trying her best to hide her arm.

Katie

After about a minute, Pidge turned around again.
"They asked if there was someone named Allura here. This is creepy!" She whined.
"I admit, that's a bit sketchy." Lance muttered.

"Wait!" Allura looked down at her arm before writing for a while. Eventually she turned back around.
"Lotor is with this Camille at the moment. He says that she is a victim of Haggar and is helping to rescue Keith so they can all escape. Their current objective is getting the coordinates of the ship to send it to us."

"She knows where Keith is!? Can we go get him now!?" Lance yelled and sat up from the couch.
"No, we can't get him now. They're still trying to get the coordinates." Allura spoke with her usual, leader like voice, but she was smiling sadly. Shiro put a hand on Lance's shoulder.

"Don't worry, we're one step closer to finding them. They'll be home soon."
"Yeah and apparently they're bringing this Camille person." Pidge grumbled.
"Then you could finally meet them! Sounds exciting to me." Hunk smiled as she just sighed and flopped down on the couch.

"Why don't you keep writing to them? You could get to know each other." Lance suggested.
"Seems like a waste of time to me. If I keep writing to them, then they won't be focused on saving Keith."

"I think you're just scared."
"Am not!"
"Yes you are! You know, Matt is coming to visit today. I bet he'd agree with me!"
"I'm not av- avoiding it or anything. They should just focus on getting Keith is all." She had a faint blush dusting her cheeks.
"Awww! She's blushing!" Lance cooed and poked her cheek as she slapped his hand away.
"Fuck off!"
"Language... wait, is Matt really coming?" Shiro looked hopeful.
"Yes you gay disaster." Pidge laughed.

"Am I the only one here who doesn't really have any other connection to the Galra?" Hunk asked while looking around the room.
"What do you mean?" Pidge asked.
"Like, Lance, Allura and now Pidge have Galra soulmates." Pidge mumbled something under her breath, but Hunk ignored it, "Shiro has the arm, and Keith IS part Galra."

"Oh, I guess you really are the only one." Lance rubbed his head thoughtfully.
"Wait, what about Coran?" he asked.
"Nope, Coran was there before the war and probably had galra friends or something." Pidge waved one of her hands.
"Friends don't count stupid!" Lance laughed as she smacked him again. At this point Allura decided to join in.

"If I'm not mistaken, Coran had a Galran lover at some point-" Coran ran into the room waving his hands.
"He wasn't a lover! He- he was just a- a friend!"
"Coran buddy! Where've you been?" Lance asked. Pidge started laughing loudly and Shiro even chuckled a bit.
"I've been keeping this ship in check, thank you very much! Not all of us can be main characters you know."

After a moment of thought, Allura spoke again.
"No, I'm very certain it was a lover."
"N- no- you know what? I think I need to check on Kaltenecker!"
"But you don't even like Kaltenecker?" Lance looked over his shoulder as Coran ran out of the room.

"So I really am the only one, huh." Hunk sat down and Lance turned back to face him.
"Maybe you should get a Galra girlfriend. They purr when they're happy, I think it's a bonus." Lance laughed as Pidge sighed.
"He already likes Shay though. I think she's a keeper. You should make a move already."
"I- I don't like Shay!"
"Holy shit man, your face is soooo red!" Lance pointed out as Hunk looked away.
"Language!" Shiro called.

So Lotor was the one who asked if Allura was there

but it's actually me this time

I think the name Katie is beautiful

"Pidge, you feeling alright? Your face is red." Lance smirked.
"Sh- shut up!" She grabbed a pillow off the couch and started screaming into it.
"What am I even- just -" She screamed again, "I'm going to take a nap!" A few of the others giggled as she left the room.

"Guys, Lotor says that they have a plan. It'll be ready soon, and they'll send the coordinates in about a day. They'll be home soon."
