*Pidge POV*

I sigh as I slump back in my chair, exhausted after another long day of working. The Space Mice sat on my shoulders, not making a sound, which was unusual. My hair stuck up in all directions and I had serious bags under my eyes. I groan, rubbing my face,
"I haven't been this tired in ages." I groan.

Suddenly one of the Space Mice who I didn't know was missing runs up to me, a folded piece of paper in their mouth. I take it, my eyebrow raised, and open the paper.

Dear Pidge,

Please stop working yourself to the bone and get some sleep. You look tired and you never stop working. You need to take better care of yourself, or you'll get sick.

I see how insecure you are. You're always secretly looking in the mirror, frowning, and I know how you feel about yourself. You're beautiful just the way you are and I wouldn't change a thing about you. You're smart, funny, beautiful and curious. I know you can't see it, but you're perfect, so stop feeling so self-conscious, because I love you for who you are.

You're an amazing person who needs to SLEEP! So take time off tomorrow and rest. Please.

With love,

Your Secret Admirer.

I almost choke upon reading the last few words,
"Is this for real?" I question, looking at the Space Mice. They squeak in response. I stare at the letter, my mouth agape,
"Who could have written it? It's definitely not Keith, Hunk is dating Shay, Lance is dating Allura, Coran is like five hundred. That leaves...Shiro? No no no. Shiro wouldn't write this. H-he doesn't like me...right?" I ask wide-eyed, staring down at the Space Mice who just shrug.

*Shiro POV*

"You did WHAT!?" I yell, staring daggers at Lance who gives me an innocent smile,
"I had to! You weren't gonna make a move and it was emotionally painful thing seeing you two get all awkward around eachother! You like her, so I done you a favour." Lance calmly explains, but there's mischief dancing in his eyes.

I groan, burying my face in my hands,
"She's gonna be freaked out..." I sigh,
"C'mon Shiro. She might think it's cute." Shiro smirks,
"Cute!? It's got me written all over it! She's gonna suspect something!" I state,
"I signed it 'your secret admirer'. She doesn't know it's you." Lance grins,
"Oh please Lance! It's not you, Hunk is dating Shay, Keith is...Keith, and Coran is old enough to be her great great great great great grandfather!" I hiss.

Lance just snickers,
"Oh I know~" he whispers, raising an eyebrow at me,
"Thanks for ruining our friendship, Lance!" I bark,
"I think you mean thanks for starting our relationship, Lance." Lance beams. I growl and sit down on my bed,
"Why are you so evil, Lance?" I question, anxiety building in me,
"That's cupid to you, Space Dad." Lance laughs, standing up from a chair.

He rests a hand on my shoulder, smiling at me,
"I'm sure the feelings mutual, Shiro. You both just needed a little nudge." He smirks, patting my arm. I sigh and nod, my insides slowly but surely dying. Lance gives me a devilish smirk before turning leaving.

I groan and flop down on my bed. Suddenly Cosmo teleports out of nowhere and lies on top of me, sprawling out. I don't protest and pet him,
"What am I gonna do, Cosmo? 'Cupid' has started something I don't know how to deal with." I state. Cosmo gives a low noise in response, almost like a scoff.

"Yeah...me neither..." I say subconsciously, staring at my ceiling.

*Pidge POV*

"Lance?" I ask, walking into his room. Lance isn't there, but there is some paper work on his desk. Out of curiosity, I walk over to it, and I gasp.
