Backpack cannon with SHIRO and Matt
“Matt,” says Shiro. “No.”
“C’mon, it’d be awesome.”
“No. You’re not replacing anyone’s jetpack with a cannon.”
Matt pouts, but Shiro is unswayed.
“The jetpacks are there for a reason–we’ve all needed them at some point. A back-mounted cannon would be impractical at best. How would you even aim it?”
“Turn in the right direction,” Matt offers with a grin. He knew the answer was always gonna be no. Still, Shiro could’ve at least entertained the idea, not immediately shot it down. “Give it to Allura, she doesn’t have a jetpack. No loss.”
Shiro sighs, but there’s an undercurrent of amusement to it–Matt thinks, at least. “You’d have to convince Allura, then.”
Matt winks. “You underestimate my power.”
This time Shiro does actually smile. “Good luck,” he says, like he thinks Matt doesn’t have a chance. Well, Matt will show him.
(Allura rejects the idea, too.)
