Could you please do a fic of korolia showing keith and acxa keith baby pictures. That would be so adorable.
A/N: So,,,uh,,,this fic came out to be more humorous than fluff, but there’s still some fluff. Also I hc that Acxa likes sticking to the rules and is very formal during duty, even when they’re alone, and Keith doesn’t wike it. ;) P.S. REQUESTS ARE CLOSED FOR CATCH UP!
“Five doboshes until we reach rendezvous point, sir,” Acxa announced from her spot on the control panel of the small Blade of Marmora ship.
“I’ve told you already, Acxa,” Keith sighed in exasperation, “Just call me Keith. You don’t have to call me ‘Captain’ when we’re alone.”
“You’re still my commanding officer,” Acxa quipped back stubbornly, “Alone or not.”
“We’re dating,” Keith stressed.
Keith sighed and prepared for landing, tilting the small jet towards the headquarters of the Galaxy Coalition. He sort of understands the bond Kolivan has with his mom now when he thinks about his relationship with Acxa. It’s a warrior’s bond, really. But just like his mother and Kolivan are close and address each other by their first names, he liked to think that he and Acxa are just as close. They’ve shared so many battlefields, he kinda wished she would drop the formality.
They landed perfectly, really you wouldn’t expect anything less from the former leader of Voltron, and they descended from the ship to find them being greeted by his mother and Kolivan. Immediately, Krolia hugged Keith once he was in arm’s reach. It was sort of their thing. Since Krolia was deprived of hugging her baby boy, she will do it now. No matter the circumstance.
But she was still a force to be reckoned with, don’t let her maternal affection fool you.
She released her son from the hug and nodded at Acxa in greeting. Kolivan, standing behind his mother with his arms linked together behind his back, was as stoic as ever and his voice was still just as authoritative, “You’re cutting it close, the meeting starts in two minutes,” Keith winced, “I’m sure the representatives will agree to your request. Your standing as the former leader of Voltron will help.”
“That’s good,” Acxa agreed, “We need this funding if we want to get food fuel if we want to help the fallen planets in the Froxian Quadrant.”
“We’ve come a long way thanks to their generosity. I’m just worried they’ll get sick of it eventually,” said Keith.
“That won’t be an issue,” Krolia assured him, “The inhabitants of the destroyed planets are all distributed across the universe and help the planet’s economy in the long run.”
“Well, then,” Keith sighed, “Time for diplomacy.”
Acxa stood on the side as Keith spoke with the authority and confidence he’s gained as a leader. She watched the audience, fighting off a smile on her face once there was a unanimous agreement to help the Blade of Marmora once more.
Keith and Acxa left the meeting, letting the leaders of the planets work out the rest of the issues they met for, with enough money to set the Blade of Marmora for the next few deca-phoebs. Krolia led them out of headquarters and was engaged in conversation with her son, complimenting him on his speech and Acxa smiled at the duo, fully agreeing with Krolia’s praise.
However, unbeknownst to the two in front of her, a small slip of paper fell out of Krolia’s pocket. Acxa bent down to pick it up, but once she felt the paper, she realized the texture was much too thick to be paper. She unfolded the paper and she found a pleasant surprise.
An adorable small child was smiling proudly and was wearing a strange red hat. His chubby legs were hidden inside a big pair of boots and he was holding a small toy in the shape of a strange, big truck. It was evident that the child was happy if his bright smile was anything to go on. A small smile grew on her face as she studied the picture and since the small boy had long raven black hair and indigo eyes, she assumed it was Keith in the picture.
Once she folded it back, she realized there were two other pictures behind that one and she switched the photographs so she could see the next one. This one was much more adorable. In it, there stood Krolia, a human man just an inch shorter with his arms around her, both looking down lovingly at the baby wrapped in a red blanket in her arms. The child in her arms was sleeping soundly and his hair was surprisingly long and a deep black. She smiled as she looked at the picture, for sure knowing it was Keith through the hairstyle he had even as a baby.
She switched the pictures again so she can see the next one and that one was a whole other level of cuteness. It was Keith again, he was a little toddler and inside a bathtub, soap bubbles covering his hair, but the rest of his tiny body was in full display. Huh, she thought, the human anatomy is…interesting.
“Acxa?” She was pulled back into reality when Krolia called out her name. Acxa folded the paper and offered it to the older woman. She couldn’t help but smiling when she saw Keith watching her confused.
Once Krolia took the pictures she elaborated, “You dropped your photographs.”
Keith blinked once and then his face morphed into one of horror when he realized what Acxa said. He frantically turned to his mother with eyes that practically begged her to say it wasn’t so. Krolia ignored her son’s odd behavior and thanked Acxa.
“Thank you. I’d hate to lose these pictures. They’re my favorites.”
Acxa nodded, “I can see why. He looked precious.”
Keith flushed bright red and looked like he wanted to say something, but Krolia spoke up before, “I have more at the shack on Earth. I’ll show them to you once we take a vacation.”
Acxa offered a small smile, “I can’t wait.”
Once they resumed their walk to the hangar bay, Keith waited until Acxa caught up and walked beside her, anxiously trying to find a way to bring the topic up. He had told his mother to stop carrying the pictures around. She could access them at anytime on her phone, she didn’t need physical copies. This was exactly why he begged her to stop carrying them. Especially one that showed off his teeny tiny…assets.
“Uh, what did you-? What did you-?”
Acxa pondered for while, noticing how her compassionate and usually serious leader was now flushing in embarrassment and avoiding eye contact. If his behavior is anything to go by, she assumes he already knows which pictures they were. She decided against teasing him since it wasn’t in her nature and shrugged, “Nothing big. You looked adorable.”
She would have laughed had she had no self-control once she saw the wave of relief calm Keith’s anxiety and she continued on her way. But there was a little voice nagging her to say what she was thinking. Usually, she would let her snarky responses to pass in order to keep her reputation, but she’d be damned if she passed an opportunity to see Keith’s faux stoic expression crack once more.
“But I think the human anatomy does grow over time, right Keith?”
Keith paused to process her question and when Acxa turned around to see her expression, she knew her break of character was so worth it. His face was a look of bafflement, embarrassment, and confusion.
Acxa turned around to continue following his mother and left Keith gaping at her back, only breaking his surprise when he notices she’s swinging her hips way more than she usually does. Almost as if she’s teasing him. He quickly caught up to the pair of women and grabbed Acxa by the waist, grateful that his girlfriend was wise enough to not make a sound.
He bent down and whispered in her ear huskily, “What happened to policy?”
