#shiromatt

So this is from a hc convo I was having with my klance shipping buddy @destielschild 

So basically klance meet at a Pride parade and these are also my general Voltron gang Pride headcanons. 

So the voltron team is split into 2 friendship groups Lance’s friendship group (Hunk, Hunk’s moms, Shay, and Lance’s lesbian sister - Elena)

Hunk 

Hunk in this au is the lovable straight ally - he’s been to Pride every year since he was a child because of his Moms, it’s a thing they do - a tradition. 

He and Shay are dating they are the most adorable couple 

He’s wearing his “I <3 my moms” rainbow shirt and its so wholesome

He once got shouted at by an angry gay for being there and not being LGBTQ+, but Mom Ana tore the guy a new one telling him how supportive and amazing her beautiful son is.

This year he’s holding a sign that says “You know it’s bad when a straight guy is marching” - you know the one

He and Shay have a YouTube cooking channel called Hunkalicious and PassTheShay cook things - They’re pretty well known and do lots of collabs with Lance.

Their YouTube name is Hunk-A-love-&-A-Pinch-A-Shay 

(They have so many Shay is Salt memes bc she can be sALTY AF when needed)

Hunk also has a side gaming/sciene-y things channel (How he met Pidge) 

Shay

Shay is bisexual

The two of them are so in love and sometimes they sit in coffee shops and admire pretty girls together (Shay always adds on ‘Of course she’s not nearly as pretty as you.’ Hunk is the prettiest boy fight me on this. he giggles every time and blushes)

She’s wearing a ‘bisexu-whale’ top Hunk got her bc she majors in marine bio and she ADORES whales.

Lance

Lance is tagging along with Hunk’s crew - He hasn’t been out for long (his family are v Catholic and traditionally Cuban - his dad didn’t speak to him for a month after he came out) and it’s his first EVER Pride.

He’s super nervous although he’s literally been adopted into the Garrett family he feels like hes intruding tagging along on their traditional Pride march.

Shay notices INSTANTLY and makes him feel right at home in the bi community.

“Lance, I know you haven’t been out for long, but you are a valid bisexual, no matter what anyone says, your sexuality is yours to define and nobody else’s. You belong here.”

(This is why we love Shay) Lance cries for five minutes and is enveloped in a group hug.

Shay paints Bi hearts onto Lance’s cheeks (one gets smudged but he doesn't care) 

He does his make up (he hardly every wears make up, but he loves doing it) - Purple to pink to blue eyeshadow, and a touch of eyeliner.

Of course he also sprinkles a fuckton of pink glitter over himself, the Moms, Hunk and Shay

Lance is a pretty well known YouTuber - SirLancelot (he does mostly Vlogs, make-up tutorials, random funnies, relatables videos, occasional gaming sessions and he also pops up frequently on Hunk and Shay’s channel - it’s adorable and when Lance is involved they’re always “w/ the bestie” videos) And he decided to Vlog the whole thing - telling his subscribers in a mini vid that he’d be going to his first Pride and uploading a Vlog of it the following day. 

When he first get’s there there are so many people and it’s all so much he thinks he might just faint, but as soon the Parade starts, Lance is on cloud nine. Hunk is manning the Vlog camera (he offered to as it’s Lances first one and he wants Lance to enjoy it)and captures Lance grinning and chanting and waving his “AIN’T NO LIE BABY, BI BI BI” sign with gusto.

He turns to grin at Hunk who is literally internally screaming and shaking Shay gushing to the camera about “LOOK AT HIM! HE’S SO HAPPY AND ADORABLE!!! HE LOOKS SO CUTE, LOOK AT HIM SHAY- MY BEST FRIEND!! I’M SO PROUD!”

Lance is wearing a “my BI-FI signal is strong” shirt that the moms got him. 

Elena 

Lance’s sister, they’re the same age - her mom is actually Lance’s Aunt, but the pregnancy was accidental and Camille never wanted children, so at aged 5 when Camille finally told her mother to stuff it and that she did not want children - Rosa took Elena in as one of her own

From then on the two of them were permanently joined at the hip (Elena is just as goofy and just as stubborn as Lance - and both of them are strong willed and will Fight You about womens rights, POC rights and LGBT+ rights)

She is a Lesbian™

She came out when she was 15 - she had a massive crush on her best friend Lucy and told mom and Lance first (their other siblings found out through evesdropping and general sneakiness) and told dad a few days before her Quinces. He didn’t show up so when the father-daughter dance came up Lance was the one who calmly got up - as if it were meant to be him up there with her and danced with her as she tried not to cry. And the first person Lance told he might be Bi was Elena. (She always kinda knew)

She regularly features in Lance’s videos (she sort of half lives at his and Hunk’s place - crashes on the couch every other night) known (early on) in Lance’s post-moving-in-with-Hunk videos as That Cuban Lesbian™ who always interrupts Lance’s videos to complain or yell at him in Spanish. Ofc anyone who’s a real Lancelot fan knows who she is. 

She was in his Coming Out video where he told the world he was Bi - and they called mom together, for support, and then told Hunk. (Hunk cried many tears)

She had a Very Gay™ crush on Shay when they first met and it’s a running joke that Hunk got to Shay first and that Elena is Bitter about this.

She has a mini lesbian flag tattooed onto her shoulder blade - Lance went with her to get it.

Keith’s friendship group (Pidge, Shiro, Matt, Allura, Coran and Alfor)

Pidge

Pidge is Nonbinary They/Them or occasionally She/Her pronouns

They identify as an Ace Lesbian (just hear me out - cute dates where Pidge is all flustered bc Pretty Girl!!! And just talking about Science Stuff™ and blushing aaraarrrrrrrgggghhhh)

Pidge is also a YouTuber but like an actual Big Time™ YouTuber - They used to be HackerKatie but then they came out and changed their name so now they’re HackerPidge (If you’ve ever watched MilesChronicals that is what Pidge’s Channel is like - also a Gaming Channel - for Gaming) 

They live in a space-y flat with Keith, Shiro and Matt but they’re like never there??? (Once they straight up disappeared for a week and one morning Keith walked into the kitchen to just see Pidge sat on top of the fridge eating a bowl of Lucky Charms™)

One time they pulled a massive prank on Shiro (which they ofc recorded and put on YouTube) and when Shiro found out he banned them from YouTube and all Social Media for two weeks. Turns out that was a Bad Idea™ because Pidge fans (Hacklets) started Major Discourse on Twitter and Tumblr bc they didn’t get updates and there was nothing on Pidge’s social media (there was a theory that Pidge was dead). Shiro allowed Pidge back on YouTube and stuff and Pidge made a video explaining with Shiro in the back of the video holding one of those Shame Signs that said “I banned my child from social media for two weeks and accidentally started an internet war”

wait wasn’t this supposed to be about Pride???

help

Pidge is wearing a top that says “Male/Female/Don’t worry about it” - their galaxy backpack is littered with buttons about gender (e.g. ‘ask me about my pronouns’, and the nonbinary flag) and their sexuality (e.g. ‘beautiful day to love girls’, ‘girls, girls, girls’ etc.)

They have the nb flag and the lesbian flag painted on their cheeks and THEY/THEM painted in block capitals on their forehead.

NEXT PERSON

Shiro and Matt

Shiro is a very Bi Dad Brother and he is Very Tired™

Matt is the Gayest being you will ever meet.

He and Matt have been dating since High school, they were best friends until Matt blurted at Prom to the entire student body that he’d been in love with Shiro since middle school

Shiro felt the same and they started dating (The entire school was relieved - there were betting pools on when one or the other was finally going to fess up)

They have a joint YouTube channel (GaysInSpace - Matt-Man and SpaceDad) Its mostly a fitness/yoga and some make-up videos (they did the Boyfriend Does My Make-up - it was horrendous) He did a galaxy make-up tutorial ONCE because he and Matt had just got into loads of space shows/films and was forever named SpaceDad because of it. 

They mostly do couples yoga and fitness videos which generally turn into shenanigans after the first like ten minutes - they are the power couple of space and their fans named themselves the ‘Gaybies’

Shiro and Matt have matching shirts and hoodies 

Hoodies: Matt - If found return to Shiro / Shiro: Keep him.

T Shirts: Matt - My Boyfriend is Bi-Lingual (bc Shiro can speak fluent Japanese) / Shiro - My boyfriend’s gay, but I’m not. 

They have their flags painted on their faces - Gay for Matt and Bi for Shiro.

Matt bought a giant gay flag at the start of the parade and has since tied it around his shoulders 

Shiro’s holding a sign that on the front says “God said Adam and Eve so I did both” but on the back has a message that Matt hasn’t seen “My boyfriend has no clue I’m going to propose today.”

Shiro proposes halfway through the parade (Lance’s group was actually just a little behind them and he and Hunk caught the entire thing on camera). The music from the parade cut out and all of their closes high school friends, Shiro’s dad and Matt’s parents emerge from the crowd whilst a song they both adore (“Marry Me” by Jessica Smith - when Lance uploads the video he makes sure to link the song in the description to credit the artist) starts to play, Shiro gets passed a mic and he starts to sing (his voice isn’t perfect but it’s damn good) When the chorus (May All Recognise Real love Yours and mine Make all love Equal) comes on the friends and family members hold up the lyrics to spell out MARRY ME. Matt is completely stunned (the gay flag cape had been stolen by Keith earlier so at least he didn’t look like a complete idiot) Then Shiro’s getting down on one knee and opening a box with a ring in it at Matt’s crying. 

“What do you say, Cadet? Wanna get hitched?”

“Oh for christ- Just put the ring on my finger and kiss me idiot!” 

Matt’s still crying as Shiro slides the band onto Matt’s finger and swoops up for a kiss, before turning around to yell “HE SAID YES!”

The crowd goes wild

Allura

Allura is a beautiful Lesbian and she and Elena get on swimmingly (Elena has the biggest crush on her and she and Lance cry about how beautiful she is from her videos)

Her user is PrincessOfAltea she does beauty tips and tricks as well as a gaming channel - she’s surprisingly good and is one of The Best players in a game called Altea (It’s an RPG Quest series) - her subscribers love how amazing she is and she usually plays with Matt, Pidge, and Shiro - Keith sometimes joins in and he’s surprisingly good. 

She’s Alfor and Coran’s daughter (Alfor’s biologically - they got a surrogate mother - who they still keep in contact with - she’s Ace/Aro and also goes to Pride with them but she couldn’t make it this year)

(Coran is wearing this )

She met Shiro through working out at the same gym - He mad a mini bi crush on her and gushed to Matt about the Pretty Girl at the gym for weeks

(Matt didn’t get too jealous - as soon as he lent over and pressed a kiss to Shiro’s lips, he would generally shut up about Pretty Girl and think about Pretty Boyfriend instead)

Allura is covered head-to-foot in glitter (as are Coran and Alfor) because of an incident that happened at Shiro’s flat with Pidge, a pop-tart and glitter Allura was opening to dab on her face. 

She has the lesbian flag painted like war paint on her cheeks and a pastel top with two girls kissing on it that says “Girls like Girls like Boys Do” on it. 

She’s also parading around with a sign that says “I love my emo gay son” with a picture of Keith’s face on it.

Keith

Keith has been out for years. Literally since he was thirteen. 

(He came out via a dinner conversation, when Matt was over for dinner at the Shirogane Household one evening. Matt had been talking about how all teenage boys are supposed to be obsessed with girls and wanting to date girls etc. and Keith had simply said “Well I don’t like any girls but I was in calculus the other day with Jared and I thought he looked cute. I wouldn’t mind being his boyfriend.”  A bug eyed Papa Shirogane had asked “Keith are you gAY?” - Keith had asked what that meant and after Shiro had explained “B-boys who l-like other b-boys... romantically.” Keith had shrugged dismissively and said “Well I guess then, yeah, I am.”)

He’d also been watching SirLancelot’s videos since Lance had begun YouTubing (at first they’d just been braces-Lance and Hunk prank videos and relatables middle schoolers version) And has pretty much been In Love since.

However, this was Keith’s first ever Pride - the only reason he’d actually agreed to go was because he knew Shiro planned to propose and he didn’t want to miss that, despite the overwhelming threat of an large-crowd-induced anxiety attacks.

He’d gone with a simple gay outfit, black shorts, ratty converse, flannel around his waist, rainbow suspenders and a tank top Shiro had gotten him especially (that said Too Gay For This World)

At first Keith had refused to wear it (he secretly adores this top and Shiro Knows)

He has his own YouTube channel which isn't isn’t nearly as popular as Lance’s - but he has a solid fanbase

His user is CryptidKeith and his channel is called The Keith-Files - Conspiracy Theories

His fans are called his Cryptids and he is continuously referred to as “The Wild Keef” due to a comment Pidge once made in one of their Conspiracy collabs

Of course Hunk and Pidge have done many collabs and when its mentioned that most going are YouTubers they decide to meet up and introduce their friendship groups - Lance decides to vlog it all as he is anyway - First Pride.

Ladies and Gentlemen, there’s new poly ship in town!

Okay, but I have lots of feelings for this one…

So, to start…

(Btw it’s probably better to call it sheitt)

Shatt

Shiro and Matt have been going out for ages!

They started going out not long after they met

At this point they’re just the biggest bros/lovers.

People from their class now they’re going out but people from the outside just see two bros doing stupid shit bc that’s the dynamics

Shiro’s the adventurous one that does stupid shit (since they’re quite young at this point?)

Matt is the brain… He also does stupid shit but he makes plan and thinks it through

I can imagine them sneaking out at night or sth

They’re the two bros who argue with teacher over typo for entire lesson

Sheith

Okay, me and @bird-ly​ already have hc for how Keith and Shiro met:

Our Grey A child, Keith, has just enrolled Garrison

He finds himself attracted to Shiro, not really knowing in what way

So what he does is that he challanges him to duel(?) well, just training fight

Altho Shiro wins the first time, invites Keith to spar again

And even tho Shiro’s already have boyfriend, he is the one to start flirting with Keith.

People who don’t know Shiro is dating Matt start thinking that he’s dating Keith, bc of their weird conversations in the middle of corridors, calling each other to private places, sneaking out and stuff….

He does feel guilty about it but. Keith. Is. Just. Too. Cute.

Matt eventually notices. He calls Shiro out on it.

Shiro tells him, he knows and that he’s sorry but while he loves Matt, he likes Keith too.

So Matt, the soft boy, tells Shiro it’s fine (after some arguing and Shiro proving he really does love them both)

He’s hurt but he likes seeing Shiro happy.

Shiro eventually ask keith to date him (and explains he’s with Matt too) Keith isn’t sure about it, but he says they should try

Katt 

So, Matt notices that shiro is most happy when he’s with both of them, so he starts hanging out with keith too

They don’t really talk with each other from the start

until matt starts teasing Keith

He hangs out with both of them while they fight and it starts by him laughing at keith for mostly losing these fights

While he never lets opportunity to say something slip by, he never actually oversteps the boundaries and insulted keith

If Keith ever pouts because of being teased, Matt just musses his hair, grinning and apologizing

“He’s cute” matt tells shiro one day “Actually I might like him too”

He doesn’t tell keith, but he definitely joins in with Shiro’s flirting

“Your not that bad” Keith says one day (Which is like?? the highest praise??)

Pre-Cerberos Sheitt

So yeah, they’re hanging out now.

and going out

Matt actually does tell keith… eventualy…

keith is still unsure tho. So he hasn’t been kissed yet. What he knows is that he enjoys being around those two.

they don’t push keith into anything

Keith doesn’t have many other people who he talks to but he knows being with Shatt feels different and better in a way

It’s just that half of the people think that Shiro is dating keith and the other half thinks Shiro is dating Matt

so keith gets called out for cheating on Shiro with Matt

Which helps him sort out his feelings!

He doesn’t tell the person anything and just leaves them standing there cofused

He rushes to meet Shiro and Matt and tell them

thet he proBABLY LOVES THEM AND HE WASN’T SURE SO HE’S SORRY FOR DRAGGING IT OUT AND IM;;;;;

They’re both super happy! Like Matt jump-hugs him and shiro is like *o*

They become the happy boyfriend trio and tell few people but mainly work on having good time spend together

Shiro and Matt kiss each other and only cuddle with keith, waiting for him to decide if he’s ready

and

Before the Cerberos mission Keith kisses them.

Shiro first and then small peck to Matt

and tHEY MELT

They both want more kisses but Keith’s like “When you return from Cerberos”

EXCEPT THEY DONT HAHAHAHAHAHA

Cerberos Keith

So yeah, when he finds out he storms the headmasters room

asking where are they

yelling at them

blaming them

So he gets kicked out

he harms few officials as they try dragging him out

And lock himself in the shack

Hes trying to find them but eventually… slowly… gives up

staying in the shack alone for so long messes up his brain

he starts seeing things

seeing them

At first he starts catching glimpses

hearing the calling his name

As the time goes he convinces himself they’re both really there

Keith, sitting in the dark cottage, laughing, looking into the void as he whispers their names

(hc goes that hunk helps him kind of get out of this but lets not go in too deep)

When he starts sensing the energy, he legitimately thinks it’s them

Aaaaaand when the ship crashes, the reason why he says shiro slightly surprised is bc he expected matt too

HE IS SO GRATEFUL ANYWAYS he’s happy at least Shiro is there

Post-Cerberos Sheith

Shiro tells keith to stay calm and don’t go looking for matt immidiately. To stay for a bit and get some plan

(which sounds easy but) keith is still quite not happy with Matt missing (he’s furious lol)

what convinces him is when shiro tells him that Pidge is Matt’s sister. He asks him not to because of her. (he tells him, that’s why keith knows when pidge comes out)

That she’s already stressed enough, so that he stops freaking out

Keith starts getting better again.

So, yeah they wait and try to not think of Matt too much

except they both do

they don’t mention him, but it’s not easy to forget him just like that

Post-Season2 Sheitt

We’re getting rebel leader Matt (nobody tells me that we aren’t)

When they meet (maybe rescue?) Matt and his rebel crew Pidge is the first one to rush to him and welcome him back

She roughly tells him what happened when he was gone

He listens and has some quality bonding time with his sister

He then ask her if he could talk to shiro and keith

Turns out he’s been holding back from crying and once he’s alone with both of them he just bursts out crying

he hugs them and tells them how much he’s been missing them

Then keith kisses both of them again

AnywAYS REBEL LEADER TRIO

It’s like star wars - Matt as Leia, Shiro as Han and Keith as Luke

Matt is always the brain. He’s still brave af so it’s always something unexpected and hard to pull off

Keith is the best pilot. Natural talent. Usually end up being the key player in Matts plans.

Shiro is there to stop them from making shit too risky or impossible to pull of. Also, he’s the one who usually speaks to the masses and explains the plan, tells people what to do etc

Hunk and lance already know they’re dating but they dont tell/show it in front of othe people. (not into PDA much :/ )

(They come out to pidge once galra is defeated)

Domestic Sheitt

Okay, listen, altough they’re not into PDA, they love the cuddles

Especially Keith. While it’s something new he really comes to be the most physical person in the household

He’s the little spoon, having shiro form one, Matt from the other side (sandwitch lol)

Shiro is the one who always gets teased. (Especially the 6yo jokes)

Matt is the culprit in 99% of cases

Shiro is the only one that can cook. Imagine keith and matt sitting by table, both smirking as shiro in pink apron cooks

“Woo, look at that but” ofc loud enogh so Shiro can hear it

Also shiro definitely tried to make the “who’s doing what chores” chart at least once. Tried. It didn’t really work out
