27) things you said on the phone at 4 am

Shiro wakes up to the sound of his phone buzzing against the dark wood of his nightstand. He grabs for it without looking, and knocks his glasses off the edge and onto the floor. Shiro groans into his pillow, and his phone buzzes again, insistent.

“Okay,” he says, voice slurred from sleep. “Okay, hold on.”

His hand closes around the device and he draws his arm back into the cocoon of warmth beneath his duvet. It goes still just before he turns it over and Shiro sighs. The missed call notification flashes on his lock screen;

Missed call from Keith, 0345

It erases his lingering embarrassment immediately. He's still not quite too sure what it is about Twitter that makes Keith so dramatic, but his followers are hardly ones to complain. The remark already has dozens of likes and replies, and Shiro decides to add his own, amused.

You're not dying. It's just a misunderstanding.… Why is everyone telling you F?

Prince Takashi of Shirogane must marry to inherit the throne, and his spouse must be determined by eligible candidates competing in a series of competitions known as the Royal Games. Complications arise when Shiro's bodyguard, Keith, goes missing weeks before the Games begin, and then again when a mysterious suitor shows up to compete. What has happened to Keith? And who is the Red Knight, the challenger who seems determined not just to win Shiro’s hand but also his heart?

Sincerely Yours [Letters to a Loved One Remix] - Spatzi_Schatz

Ongoing, 3/5 chapters. 6.5k (Teen)

Shiro has been betrothed to Lord Yurak of Marmora for practically as long as he can remember. His nuptial arrangement predates his royal service, his pilot training at The Garrison, even the death of his grandparents. It definitely predates the Great War.

But the Great War is supposedly over, at least in an official sense, according to the peace treaties if nothing else. Even so, Shiro has been so thoroughly preoccupied by the inheritance of his grandfather’s land and titles at the March of Arus and his promotion to admiral of the Royal Altean Fleet, he has not had a spare thought for neither marriage nor noble alliances and court politics. Until the arrival of the messenger, that is.

Keith, the Warlord Prince of Marmora, will do anything to save his people from an unwinnable war against the rest of the solar system. Anything, even if it means the end of the only kind of life he’s ever known, moving to a planet where he will be the only member of his species. Even if it means marrying a man sent against him in battle, someone who he has tried to kill. Admiral Shirogane is willing to accept the marriage for the sake of the Coalition and the peace treaty which will bring an end to the bloodshed, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy. Especially not if the Second Prince of the Galra still seems intent on fighting him at every turn.

But being attached at the hip means that Keith is there when omegas come up and flirt with Shiro, when they brush up against him and ask him to walk them to their rooms. He’s there and he sees it all and it clearly gives him an idea—

Or: Shiro is a good alpha who helps omegas in heat by allowing them to platonically scent him. This goes great for him until Keith.

Shiro shouldn’t have come. He’d known that every step to Keith’s door.

But the Alpha instincts were strong. They were singing in his veins urging him just to go check. Just a quick little wellness check that everything was okay.

His omega was in heat.

Keith was /not/ his omega.

When Keith says “I need a favor” while they’re sitting on the couch eating microwave popcorn and watching a stupid B-list horror movie on a Saturday night, Shiro is expecting to drive him somewhere, lend him something, or maybe — at the extreme — go as his date to a work event so he doesn’t have to spend the evening alone.

“Nest?” Keith asks. Gasps, really. “What?”

Shiro tries not to panic. Do humans not build nests? If Keith grew up human, he might have different heat coping methods. How had Shiro not thought to ask? “If you don’t nest, can you tell me what else will help?”

A weak laugh. “I’m okay,” Keith says. Like he’s trying to comfort Shiro. “I’m just sick. Do Galra not get sick?”

“What’s up, Shiro?”

He didn’t know how to even begin broaching the subject. How do you tell your best friend that you’d be willing to spend a week fucking their brains out? But like, make it casual? Not because you want it to be casual but because you don’t want them to think they owe you anything. You’ve been in love with them forever but—

In which Shiro is an alpha with the Altean special guard and Keith is an omega who hides as a beta working for the Blade of Marmora. They’ve gone on a lot of missions together and can hardly stand to be around one another, always fighting over how to best complete their assignments.

But what happens when they get stranded together and Keith goes into an unexpected heat?

As a critical rebel uprising approaches, Keith’s sudden heat promises to ruin Voltron’s plans of attack against the Galra. With only days until Voltron is set to lead the rebels to victory, Shiro has to make a choice: help Keith through his heat and risk the exposure of long-hidden feelings, or risk the failure of their mission.

Keith’s always suffered terrible heats, and for his first one since becoming a paladin, Shiro offers to help him out.

Platonically, of course.

Keith made his way towards 15th Street, hands in his hoodie pockets and worn sneakers scraping on the pavement. Twilight was rapidly fading into full darkness. People would be scurrying home now, locking themselves in with their warmth and light and families, hiding away from things that dwelt in the shadows. Things like him. Though the things they were thinking of probably had a few less fangs.

“When did Captain Shirogane and Kogane start dating?”

She expects a juicy story. Maybe a confession in the middle of battle. Maybe Kogane proclaiming his eternal love over Shirogane’s lifeless body. Something big and dramatic for sure, befitting the Garrison’s power couple.

Instead, Lance sputters and falls out of his chair, Pidge's eyebrows shoot up so high they almost leave her face entirely, and Hunk's jaw drops so far down Nadia is concerned it’s genuinely become unhinged.

Or, the one where everybody finally figures out Keith and Shiro are dating.

Keith's starting a new job; night guard at a seaside research facility. During introduction, him and the other two new recruits are taken around and shown all the facility's creatures, including the only merman ever taken alive, who seems awfully friendly considering the warnings they're getting about how aggressive he is.

Shiro gaped. He'd heard stories, certainly, about creatures who roamed the deep waters—merfolk who were neither human nor fish, squid the length of an entire village, women who sang sailors to their doom, beings who could transform between human and seal—but he'd never seen any of the legends come to life.

And yet, here was a merman, sunning himself on the rock in the bay.

Keith saves a merman. In the process, he saves himself.

“Let him drown!”

Keith winced. That voice was unmistakably Sendak’s. No one went against Sendak and, well, that was going to be that.

Deciding not to think about how much longer he had before they tossed him over the side of the ship, Keith peered through the hole in the hull to the wide expanse of the ocean outside, chains scraping on the damp floor as he shifted. He wondered where the mer had gone. Had he been able to find his family? Keith could only hope so—it had never felt right for the creature to be held captive. Keith had seen many atrocities in his years on the ship, but there had been something so wrong about holding the mer. The pained defiance in the creature’s eyes, the deep sorrow it held. It had been without its family.

Keith knew that feeling all too well.

So in the end, it had been an easy decision to make. An easy decision to choose freedom and life, even if it meant he condemned his own.
