Hidge week 2018

“The festival is gonna start soon,” Allura reminds the team. “The Olkari went through the trouble of inviting us so we should all attend.”

“Pidge won’t leave her room,” Lance comments and everyone looks at him as he shrugs. “Says she’d just be a miserable, running nose mess if she went.”

“Oh, I’d forgotten,” Allura sighs in disappointment. “Allergens. A shame. The flowers are quite lovely.”

“And I’m sure many of the Olkari would have loved to give her some in admiration of all she’s done for them,” Coran adds. 

“She asked us to take pictures though,” Lance beams as he readies his handheld. “She’ll set them up as her wallpaper when we get back.”

*****

The team’s been gone for hours now. Pidge leans back in her chair, tiny arms stretched to the ceiling with a yawn. A shame she couldn’t go. She does miss Reiner and the other Olkari but...she’ll just have to make a personal visit when there aren’t so many flowers in bloom.

A familiar knock at the door. Guess they’re back.

“Come in Hunk,” she calls and the door opens. “How was it? Did you guys take pictures?”

Hunk walks in with slow steps. “Lance did. He’ll send them through the ships system later,” he says. “Lots of Olkari send their love. Tried to send baskets of flowers back with us. Lance took them off your hands to ‘lighten your burden’.”

“Haha, I’m sure he did,” she says with a smirk.

“Brought you something special though, since you couldn’t make it.”

She turns in the chair and sees he has his hands behind him. Oh no. An uncomfortable smile arises on her face when he pulls out a few dozen flowers. Bright yellow petals with green stems, like intergalactic sunflowers.

“Uh, Hunk, they’re gorgeous but my allergies--”

“Trust me on this one,” he says and extends them forward. “Take them.”

Uncertain, she takes the bouquet in her hands. So far so good. No sneezing as of yet. No watery eyes. Hunk gestures for her to smell them and her gut twists. This is not going to end well but she tries to smile and tilts her head to the flowers for a quick sniff.

“Huh...smells really good,” she says after a few inhales and no allergic reaction. Normally she’d be crying at this point. Her confusion must show because Hunk chuckles.

“They’re synthetic. Had Reiner make them just for you and sprinkled them with a perfume they make from the flowers there. No pollen involved,” he says and his cheeks flush with an inquiring look. “You like them?”

Pidge’s blinks with surprise as she looks down at the bouquet again. Synthetic. With perfume. Just for Pidge...from Hunk. He knew exactly what to do so she wouldn’t miss out. 

Her cheeks go rosy as she buries her face in flowers with a smile.
