Sooooooo I was thinking what would Shiro do if his s/o showed up to party in a sexy black dress just to get him back for spending so much time with Voltron P.s I love your Blog!
I like the way you think! I do love me some petty revenge.
âHey Shiro! What are you up to today? Cause I was thinkingââ
âIâm sorry, Y/N, I need to go over Voltronâs last battle and come up with some sort of game plan,â Shiro sighs and glowers at the screen in his hand, âWe should have taken that Robeast out before it had that chance to knock us down. Maybe if I had had Lance and Hunk move usââ Heâs talking more to himself now so you just cluck your tongue and walk away. Maybe next time.
You paced back and forth on the observation deck, growing increasingly agitated with every slowly passing minute. Seriously? Heâs thirty minutes late! Where the hell was your boyfriend?!
You stop and loudly vent your frustration before storming storming towards the training deck. God help Shiro if heâs still training during date night because ohâŚheâs not here. None of the paladins are. So, clearly they finished?Â
You sigh and head towards the rooms. You can hear various showers running and the thought of scaring the crap out of Shiro while heâs showering brings a skip to your step. But when Shiroâs door opens, you can see him laying face first in bed with his armor still on. You deflate and let his door shut on its own. If heâs tired enough to sleep in his armor then thereâs no point in waking him.Â
And so it keeps happening. Every time you think you finally get Shiro on his own he either has Voltron related business, extra training, or is passed out in places he shouldnât be. Itâs frustrating. Itâs vexing. Itâs starting to piss you off.Â
Of course, you donât think youâre more important than defending the universe from evil purple aliens but dammit, it hurts to be pushed aside so easily!Â
But tonightâŚoh-hoho, tonight you were going to get back at the Black Paladin.Â
You see, Allura, Coran, and Shiro have been in negotiations for the last week or so with the twin High Priestesses of Ilârea, who have long been fighting the Galra in their own quadrant of space. Theyâve been highly successful; due to the combined power of Lady Arcadiaâs tactics and Lady Selenaâs bloodlust and frankly, Team Voltron needed help from people like them if there was any hope to defeat Prince Lotor.Â
Tonight, the whole planet was celebrating the new alliance in Voltronâs honor with a huge party. Food, music, pretty girls, pretty guys (just pretty people in general), and displays of power and magic promised to be a fun night.
But there was a small problem. The problem was, as Lance put it:Â âThose Priestesses are total babes! They could literally crack my skull between their thighs and I would die happy.â Whether he was on duty or not, Shiro was spending a lot of time with beautiful women that were not you and tonight was the night you were going to drag his attention back, Voltron and the Alliance be damned. Especially since itâs been a good two weeks since you two had some true alone time.Â
You smiled triumphantly at the sexy little black number hanging on the back of your door, âWatch Shiro ignore this.â
Shiro missed you. God, he missed you so much it started to hurt and the guilt he was carrying about temporarily pushing you aside to focus on Voltron was starting to haunt his nightmares. He was determined to fix it tonight. He was going to apologize for being a shit boyfriend, apologize for overworking himself, and apologize for making the love of his life feel like she no longer mattered to him.Â
Keith had made it a point to find Shiro tell him that last little tidbit last night. It hurt. It hurt so bad Shiro actually spent most of the night crying and beating himself up mentally for that one. He royally fucked up, and he knew it.
So when the shuttle carrying you and the Paladins arrived, his heart began racing and Shiro felt the telltale fluttering in his stomach that told him he was nervous. But there were only four bodies on that shuttle and none of them yours. Concerned, Shiro pulled Keith aside to speak to him in a low whisper, âHey, Keith. Wh-whereâs Y/N? Isnât she coming?â
Keith pursed his lips and glared. Shiro dropped his hand from Keithâs arm and took a step back, caught off guard by the uncharacteristic hostility in his friendâs eyes. He waits and Keith looks away before clearing his throat, âSheâs not coming. She said she has a migraine so sheâs going to take advantage of a silent castle and sleep it off. She doesnât want you there.â He walks away with a final glare, making sure to clip his shoulder against Shiroâs.Â
Shiro rubs his shoulder and glances towards the other paladins. He blanches as they quickly turn away to hide their glares. Crestfallen, Shiro swallows the lump in his throat and blinks back the tears that threaten to spill. He has a job to do tonight so he steels himself and turns around, stepping out of Takashi Shirogane - the failing boyfriend, and into Shiro - the Black Paladin and Leader of Voltron.Â
He doesnât see Lance and Hunk sharing concerned glances as they wonder if they took their glares too far or Pidge and Keith giving each other a thumbs up. He also misses you slipping out of your hiding place in the pod and moving to the next hiding place, shoes in hand. Allura, who has been your silent partner in tonightâs shenanigans, gives you a wink as she steps in front of your new spot, further hiding you. Bless her. Sheâs just as petty as you are.
There was a time in his life that Shiro once enjoyed a good party and the chance to get shit-faced drunk without a care in the world. Now his anxiety was acting up, telling him there were too many people, too many points of entry, too many chances for an assassin to sneak in, this is was just another chance to get Lance blowâno. No. He needs to stop. Thereâs no point in thinking like that.
Luckily, Ilârea has alcohol, or something like it, and Shiro grabs a glass from a passing waiter and downs it in one gulp. Much better.
He grabbed another drink with every intention of downing that one too but he was stopped when he saw you flitting through the crowd. But it couldnât be you, you were in the castle. Right?
He drops the glass from his mouth and moves to follow what he swears was you. His searching is fruitless and Shiro gives it up as a bad job only a few minutes later. He was looking for a black dress in a sea of black and white with little variation. Why couldnât the woman have been wearing a red dress? That would be so much easier!
Like Allura! Shiro could make her out easily since her dress started as a bright yellow and faded to a soft orange. She looked like an Earth sunset was easily the brightest person in the room. Shiro smiled as she laughed at some aristocratâs joke, happy to finally see her so carefree after the stressful week they had. He wished he could be like that.
He watched for a few more moments and was about to turn away when Allura hooked her arm through the arms of another woman and they turned as one to move together. His heart stopped for a split second because he knows that face. He knows that face.
Where Allura was as radiant as the sun, there you were, looking like the human embodiment of the night. Your hair was pulled up and artfully messy, lips painted a deep purple to match purple eye shadow, the front of your black gown draped over you to deeply expose your breasts and Shiro swallowed when he saw the long beautiful silver necklace he found for you sitting innocently on your chest. The last time he saw it he was watching it shimmer and shine as it moved with every thrust of his hips against yours.
You looked like Sin. And when your eyes locked Shiro swore then and there to have you underneath him before the night was over. He continued watching with hungry eyes as Allura twirled you two around and revealed the (pretty much non-existent) back of your dress and he changed it to within the hour. The wink you gave him over the shoulder as you disappeared into the crowd gave him the fuel he needed.
But it wasnât that easy. Every time he got close to you, Hunk or Lance would whisk you away for a dance and pass you off to someone high ranking enough in the Ilârean hierarchy that Shiro knew it would cause tension if he just cut in, so he was forced to wait.Â
 And wait. Prowling like a panther at the edge of the dancing crowd, waiting for his chance to snatch you up.
Eventually there was a lull in the music and Shiro used it to beeline towards you, determined to have you in his arms and screaming his name in one of the smaller rooms next door. But he was stopped by Keith shoving a plate of food in his hands with a cheeky grin. âYou havenât eaten all night. Here. Itâs delicious.â
âI-UhâŚWhat? Oh,â he looked down at the plate just long enough to loose you in the crowd again and he cursed his luck. And his crew, the shits. He could spy Pidge up on the balcony, no doubt keeping an eye on the situation and instructing each of the Paladins to intercept him every time he got too close. He should have known theyâd be in on this. They do like to stir up trouble.Â
Well. There would be no getting to you this way. Not with Pidge directing them. And he couldnât just run up there like a psychopath and stop her. Sheâd see him. He popped some of the food Keith brought him into his mouth and saluted Pidge. If this was his punishment, it was his punishment. But he could spoil their fun by giving in. His own private revenge on his crew for their mutiny.
âSurprise, surprise. You didnât come for me,â you sigh as you lean against the balcony entryway. Shiro turns towards you with a bittersweet smile, âWould you have let me?â He leans against the balcony, doing his best to appear nonchalant even though his heart was hammering in his chest because there you are! His beautiful girlfriend! The light of his life! The woman he would willingly risk life and limb for! Dear god, he could see how pissed you were.
You fake thinking for a moment, making sure to bring a finger to your lips, just to enjoy the way Shiroâs eyes darken at such an innocent gesture. âNo, not really. I was enjoying myself soooo much. I didnât want to distract myself with my significant other.â Your pointed glare hits home and Shiro drops his gaze to the floor. You do nothing but wait, letting his shame settle in.
You soften as his shoulders drop and he slowly walks towards you, frightened that with each step closer he moves, you will bolt. You both release the breaths you didnât know you were holding as Shiro slowly brings his forehead to yours. His large hands feel so right as snakes them around your waist and just holds you, taking a moment just to savor you in his arms before he can gather the courage to speak.Â
âIâm so sorry, Y/N. I didnât mean to push you away. I didnât intend to make you feel like you donât matter to me, because you do. You areâI love you,â you gasp at his confession and the urge to scream âI love you too!â is almost to much to bear but Shiro isnât done talking, so you bite your tongue. Literally. âI made a mistake. I need to try harder. I will try harder. For you and Voltron.âÂ
The kiss he gives you is so tender and so sweet it nearly brings tears to your eyes. You pull him down for another harder kiss as he pulls away, wrapping your arms around his neck for leverage before pulling away enough to mumble against his lips, âYou beautiful idiot. I love you so much but youâre too hard on yourself. I justâŚI missed you.â
You buried yourself into Shiroâs chest and squeezed him tight, enjoying the way his arms tightened against you and the gentle way he nuzzles into your hair. He was so warm and comforting and you couldnât believe that you had gone nearly two weeks without this. These were the moments you lived for: domesticity in a universe at war.
âIâm going to fuck you in that dress the moment we get back to the castle,â his voice is low and gravely in your ear and you shivered. Moment ruined.Â
âIâve had to watch you prance around in that sorry excuse for a dress all night. Did you even see how much people wanted you?â A moan escapes as Shiro mouths directly against your ear and he moves his cool metal hand up your exposed back. You can feel his half-hard erection against your hip and he grins wickedly against your ear as he lightly rocks against you, âYou naughty thing, Iâm going toââ
âSorry to interrupt,â you and Shiro jerk apart as Lady Arcadia glides by, her sister in tow, âbut might I trouble you to use one of the rooms down the hall? As lovely as public displays of affection are, surely you two would enjoy privacy?â They quirk twin eyebrows and smirk, gliding away the way they came.Â
You adjust your dress and hair, thankful that you were interrupted before anything else started. You share a bashful look with Shiro and clasp hands before re-joining the party; putting a pause on your libidos to play ambassadors. There would be time to play later tonight.
