ENJOY [ written by @lamentlima ]

There was a ball. A real ball. Like from those Disney movies, princess movies, where the girl meets the man of her dreams and has a happily ever after. Sarah shifted in her dress, still in awe of her luck. From all the girls in the garrison she drew the lucky slot to attend the Voltron banquet, in honor of their victory against the Zarkon Empire. Sarah dreamily took a champagne glass into her hand, not intending to drink but to admire its clearness. She gazed at the bubbles rising in the lean glass, pieces of bright material floating with them. Was that real gold? The flakes swirled and Sarah felt a smile spread across her face. She's in an actual fairytale.

Her heels let out little toons against the marble ground, drowned out by the chatter of the other guests around her. She recognized a few garrison mechanics from their visits to the medical department. She remembered treating their burns. Sarah felt like an owl, her head swiveling from one place to another, trying to take all the things in. So of course when she bumped into her celebrity crush she didn't really notice him, until her face was pressed against his chest of course.

Sarah raised her head in surprise, an apology already at the tip of her tongue when she realized who she just bumped into to. Her face paled, and her eyes widened in horror. Of course she ends up bumping into Shiro. Of course he's HOT in a tuxedo. Of course she can't bloody talk because; omgod I just bumped into SHIRO. And HE'S SMILING AT ME.

That he was. A crooked smile, with crinkled eyes that showed his amusement. He reached out with a mechanical arm and grasped her shoulder, steadying her. Sarah felt her cheeks flame as Shiro plucked the champagne glass from her hand and leaned in, dark eyes meeting hazel. Sarah felt her heart thud rapidly against her chest, like a trapped bird.

"Are you alright?", his eyes seemed to be laughing at her. As if he knew what her mind and heart were going through. Tough luck mister Sarah's mind went meme mood. Like that meme where the bird is screaming and the psychic that reads its mind says what the f. That is what Sarah's mind was going through. Screaming. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Shiro's brow wrinkled at Sarah's silence, worry creeping across his features. His scar shifted. Sarah blinked, managing to scramble a few steps from the other, face burning once more, mind not screaming as she was able to form a few words.

"Uh…Yes! Perfectly fine!", her voice went an octave higher than usual. Shaking her head she offered a timid smile, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention where I was going…Are you alright?"

Shiro stared at her, his bemused expression making Sarah feel like an idiot when suddenly he chuckled. Yes chuckled, the Narrator hates the word giggle, so she wrote chuckle. ( -cue Sarah smacking the narrator aka adelle-)

"Nonsense, it was I who should have stepped from the Lady's way", Sarah felt more than ever that her cheeks were flaming tomatoes, "And I, as the trained paladin, had seen you, but chose not to step away. How was I supposed to approach you then? Walking around the ballroom…you drew the gazes of all, mine as well.", he smiled sheepishly, "…And I had no courage to approach you." Shiro took a step forward and bowed, "Would my lady honor me with a dance?"

Sarah stared at the paladin, bowing before her. She felt her heart contract and without thinking grasped his hand, a smile blooming on her face as she answered with a melodic voice,

"Yes."
