⢠He, just as everyone else in the universe does, stares at the tattoo on his inner wrist.⢠No, not everyoneās is on their wrist, but his is.⢠And he wonders to infinity and back, who you are, and what youāre like⢠An intricate pattern, that flows and curves fluidly over his skin-- is that a reflection of your personality?⢠As days go by, he wonders why he even has one. Itās a promise that someone exists for him, yes, but heās almost certain no one would want him with all the danger he comes with.⢠Sometimes he wonders if he deserves a soulmate.
⢠You, caught in a galactic war for the freedom of everyone alike, fight alongside the Blades of Marmora, despite not being an ounce Galran.⢠Your story is quite curious, as you donāt act as a Blade at all.⢠During a mission, the Blades had rescued you, but left you orphaned. ⢠You are a product of battle, a result of itās violence.⢠So having had contact with Galrans since a young age, you tend to fight, and think like them.⢠Youāre reminded of your tattoo only when you remove your suit for the night, and you look at yourself in the mirror⢠Just under your jaw, on your neck, it sits there, flowing over your skin in tight, intricate curves⢠And just under that, a mass of scars that litter your body.⢠Your soulmate, whoever he or she may be back on earth, would never accept someone as hardened as you from this war.⢠Its thoughts like this which just reinforce to you that youāre better off without a soulmate.
⢠But it was a fateful battle, and fate wasnāt going to just sit by.⢠Battle was horrific, but that never stopped the Blades, and it wasnāt going to stop you. It never did.⢠Knowing that, Kolivan, who had just returned from his encounter with Voltron and its Paladins, grits his teeth as he delivers orders and directs you through the battlefield.⢠You find it difficult to maneuver through the debris, clouds of dust and dirt obscuring your vision and making it difficult to locate the natives under attack.⢠Youāre able to take down a druid, and a couple of droids as you direct some civilians to safety.⢠Itās then that you hear a gruffĀ āwatch out!ā as the last of the survivors pile into the ship, and youāre tackled to the ground.⢠Thereās a shock that surges through your body, but you think of it as nothing more than an impact from the body that tackled you.⢠The figure takes no time in acting, slicing at the assailant beside you, driving his Blade into his chest.⢠But the situation isnāt what confuses you-- itās the boyās stature.⢠Heās built just a bit bigger than you, maybe a little leaner, but by no means matches that of a Galran. Yet he wields a Blade?⢠As Voltron sweeps in, the enemy begins their retreat, leaving Voltron to take the battle into the sky.ā¢Ā āNo time for dawdling,ā Kolivan husks through the comms,Ā ātend to the wounded, and clean up the stragglers.ā⢠The battlefield was rather barren-- a stark contrast to the lush forest it used to be.⢠There arenāt many enemies left behind, just those too wounded to recover, and it was easy to be done with them.⢠After following orders, you and the mystery Galran beside you return to the ship, where Kolivan meets you.ā¢Ā āThe natives are being taken care of in the medbay. Weāll remain a couple cycles until they can get back on their feet. In the meantime, do what you can, of course, with the help of Voltron.ā⢠Kolivan takes his leave, as he has enough to report back to Shiro, leaving you both alone.
⢠Keith nods to Kolivan in affirmation before turning to look at the Blade beside him.⢠Wielding no Blade, they shouldnāt be at all a part of the Blades of Marmora, but that just brings up a whole slew of questions.⢠But before any of them can come out of his mouth, youāve already removed your mask and drawn your hood to reveal your face⢠And everything that Keith had ever known was shaken, right to his core.⢠Air caught in his throat as he tried to draw in a breath, but he suddenly felt as though he were under water.⢠Time slowed, but he was hit with time all at once. Flashing in his mind were images of the past, and a future, that filled him with warmth.⢠Security.⢠In a rush, he removed his own mask and hood, before placing his hand over his wrist.⢠And in an instant, your eyes locked to his, and you took a sharp breath in.⢠Suddenly you were lost, in a sea, in a forest, in a ravine-- but you werenāt alone. ⢠Everything that felt broken within you were sutured, fused together with not just you, but a completion of something whole.⢠The tattoo beneath Keithās suit glowed, and he did his best to remove it, to watch the spectacle⢠You watch, drawn to it, amazed. Your hand finds your neck, pulling at your suit to reveal your own tattoo.⢠Keithās eyes watched the whole time, as your fingers delicately, almost midlessly, pulled your suit from your neck. Your tattoo shines just as brightly as his does.⢠As they glow, the flowing patterns seem to move, as if water stuck by a droplet, they ripple.⢠Youāre lost in a trance that has your eyes flutter shut, and a voice deep inside you whispers a single name that seems to make your heart melt.⢠Slowly opening your eyes, you see Keith must have gone through the same experience.⢠Itās not until the glow dies that you see the tattoo has morphed, now to spell your name across his wrist.⢠You canāt see the tattoo across your neck, but you donāt need to read it to know his name.⢠It already sits on your tongue, sweet, and alive.ā¢Ā āKeith..ā⢠He shudders as his name passes your lips, striking him as the most profound thing to ever hit his ears.⢠It was like it was no longer his-- that it now belonged to you.ā¢Ā ā[Y/n].ā⢠His voice seeps into you-- your skin, your spirit, your ears, your heart.⢠Itās so reassuring. Itās so secure. ⢠Without thinking, you look at him, and ask,Ā āDid my tattoo glow, too?ā⢠You asked with such childish enthusiasm, Keith couldnāt help but chuckle. It was rejuvenating just to hear your voice.ā¢Ā āIt did. Brighter than any star.ā
