Kidge One Shots

V-Card

Shiro was happily rummaging around the supply closet in one of the largest garrison labs. More specifically Pidge's closet...or tool treasure chest. He knew Pidge had the best as well as varied tools mostly because she always bought the best and improved them. But right now he needed a very specific wrench which he knew Pidge altered to fit in tight spaces but still gave enough torc to get the job done. When he came and saw that Pidge wasn't there, but since he didn't feel like making small talk with any of the other lab people...he kinda just snuck in. He was going through the drawers of the tool chest absently wondering if Pidge could start her own business when he heard voices. He paused to check to see if it was Pidge and it was then... when his brain short circuited.

Veronica laughed, "Seriously? Can you repeat that for me!"

Pidge replied, "Shhhh, not so loud, but yes, I'm serious. I've decided. I'm losing my v-card, getting it punched, popping my cherry, however you want to say it. I'm going to have sex with someone! I feel like I'm the last virgin in this place. It's honestly just sad at this point, have you seen some of these cadets??"

Veronica sighed, as she dropped the box she was carrying on the work table. "Okay but who? When? Where? You gotta be careful. You are not going to some bar and picking up some random dude. Not on my watch!"

Shiro silently thought, thank you Veronica.

Pidge interrupted, "Yeah, yeah, yeah-all good points. I don't know. That's why I'm telling you. I need help. If I knew all that, I wouldn't still be a virgin would I?" Pidge flops on the couch in the lab, dramatically lays down and groans.

"Well, (laugh), okay. That makes sense and at least you came to me and not Lance. Let me set up a party, it can be casual so you can get a feel for the guys and then I'll introduce some drinking games (at Pidge's negative head shake) or just regular games. Just to get you relaxed. You can see who you are attracted to and then make it happen. But hey, what happened at Shiro's wedding? I thought for sure you would have gotten laid then. I saw the guys circling you like sharks around an injured bloody fish! Besides, people always get lucky at weddings, I know I did!" Veronica snags a chair and drags it over to sit in front of Pidge.

Pidge rolls her eyes, "Yeah yeah, so you've said. But I've yet to hear with who?"

Veronica, at this point, shrugs and says, "Hey, hey, I don't kiss and tell. Especially when my brother is in hearing distance."

Pidge laughs, "Yeah, whatever, he's not here now. We both know you're happy he's here. So am I. It's great, with Hunk and Shay, Lance, it's been really fun, stopping work and having a life again. But seeing Hunk and Shay and Shiro and Curtis...it just makes me realize...I'd like that. That connection beyond Matt and my family. I want...shit, I don't even know. <rubbing her eyes> When I got home, I needed to be around my family. I missed them so much. And with Allura gone, Lance depressed, I just felt so damn guilty just to be alive and to have my family. But two years in, I feel like I've grown and matured. In a lot of ways but sadly, not in this area and frankly I'm tired of waiting. <Looking straight at Veronica> I don't know if you know this, but I'm not an especially patient person."

"HAHHAHAHA, yeah, yeah I know. What happened at the wedding. <Pointing at Pidge> Don't avoid my question Katherine Holt."

Pidge started sitting up, then gave up and leaned on her elbow, "I was dressed up and a lot of guys asked me to dance. End of story. No one took it any further."

"I know, I saw. I was there. Then what?" Veronica stared and arched a brow.

Pidge closed her eyes, "I dunno. I got to talking to Lance, then Keith and then the three of us were sitting at a table doing shots, being stupid and silly. Then Matt was there, all you MFE fighters and... and ... no one was asking me to dance anymore...and I dunno. Do you think Matt scared them off?" Pidge lays down, again, arm over her eyes.
