Is It You..? [Pidge x Reader]

[8]Would you be okay?

Lance didn't know how to react to your sudden affection. He hugged back lightly before you pulled away again.

"I- I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'm just super short tempered and I don't like being messed with.. I'm sorry.." You said, at almost a whisper. You were upset, with yourself, with everyone. You sighed and walked back to the front of the classroom. 

"I'm sorry Mr.Smythe, for being late." You apologized as you walked to the front of the class, handing in your hall pass. 

Class flew by. You were spacing out for the majority of the time, leaving little doodles in the margin of the History test that was handed out after you got back in class. As soon as the bell rang, you grabbed your bag and darted up out of your seat, before being stopped abruptly by your teacher. 

"Excuse me, Miss [Last Name], you'll need to stay after class for a bit." He stated, his slight british accent making him wound as if he was from some slice-of-life movie. 

You sighed, walking slowly up to the teachers desk. The two of you waited until every other student had left the classroom before he spoke again.

"[Your name], I've heard a lot about you from my niece, Allura. You seem to be going through quite a lot. I understand that things can be crazy and rather stressful during high school, but you need to communicate with your teachers. " He explained to you, a sympathetic look on his face. 

You smiled at him, before you spoke. "I understand. I apologize for stopping the class suddenly and for being late. It won't happen again." You said. You had no idea Allura and he were related but, you learn something new everyday right?

After being dismissed, you rushed over to Pidge's locker. As you arrived, you were lucky to catch them just as she started to walk away. "Pidge!" You called out to them. They turned and looked around in a confused manner, before their eyes landed on you. Your body crashed into theirs, as you embraced them with a long, tight hug. You were happy to feel the touch of them against you. After a bit, they hugged you back. 

"Uh, not to ruin the moment but I have class and you're kind of suffocating me.." They said, a smile growing on their face.

"Oh, right." You pulled away, a small light pink blush growing on your face. "I'm sorry.. about everything. I've been acting weird lately.." You shrugged. You couldn't help your wandering eyes, as they eventually landed on their soulmate mark. You sighed, feeling like your heart dropped to your stomach. 

"It's alright. I get it." They shrugged, giving me a small smile.

"We should go but, we should talk later. Wanna hang after school?" You shook off the sadness you had began to feel. You were just trying to be grateful that they would still talk to you.

"Sure. I don't have anything planned." They smiled, before waving and walking down the hallway to their next class. 

You stood there for a few seconds. "I've got it bad.." You mumbled to yourself, before you began to walk to your next class.

After School

You waited in the front of the school for Pidge. School had just got out and you were eager to finally approach her about this soulmate nonsense. You were sick of the drama and you just didn't want to hold back from asking questions anymore. They finally walked up to you, a smile on her face. You smiled back, offering a small wave. 

"Where to?" They asked, before the two of you started walking down the steps of the front entrance of your high school. 

"We'll make it up as we go. I figured maybe a park or something." You shrugged as you spoke. It was really last minute so there was poor planning. 

They nodded. It was completely silent as you walked. After about five minutes you spoke. 

"Can I ask you something..?" You began, anxiety growing into butterflies in your stomach.

"Anything. I hate the awkward silence." They answered, a small laugh leaving their lips. 

"Who's your soulmate? I noticed the mark on your wrist a while ago.. I just didn't know how to ask." You responded. 

The air between you felt tense. They had their eyes set on the ground.

"Is it considered rape or sexual harassment if you kiss someone while they're unconscious?" They asked, their eyes in the same place. Their cheeks started to get a shade of red.

"Not if you guys are like, a thing. And not if they're okay with it. At least, that's what I think." You responded, looking back at her. "Why?"

"Would you be okay with me kissing you while we had a sleep over?" They asked, their voice cracking. They looked really nervous.
