Voltron Hair Dye (part 2)

This is a continuation on my previous post for this fic! Go in the tags to find the previous part since I don’t know how to link things ... 

Description: Pidge finds comfort in science and silence, but Keith finds comfort in making sure that his girlfriend gets the correct amount of hours of sleep she needs to be a functioning human being. When he finds her pulling another all-nighter, he's willing to do anything to get her to go to sleep, even if that means planning a date to the space mall with all of team Voltron.

Pidge wasn't the type of person to like shopping. At least, that's what she thought of about herself. She clearly wasn't in the right mind when she and Lance were knee deep in a fountain fishing around for coins to buy a video game. Thank god Lance was just as bad as she was, or he might never let her live that down. But no, Pidge did not enjoy shopping, as she stated everytime Allura asked her.

Something about the whole thing, shopping, seemed so wrong. Shopping was something Katie had loved. Shopping meant walking around for hours, laughing, and taking pictures with whoever you were with. Shopping meant spending money that your parents lent you, and forgetting about the pressure of school. Pidge didn't have the luxury of that anymore. She might say that she simply outgrew it. Whatever the shift, Pidge felt out of place in a mall.

However, not only did Pidge feel out of place in a mall, she also happened to look quite out of place in one too. Holding Keith's hand, who was also holding Shiro's hand. With Lance trailing after Allura, who was trying to make conversation with Shiro. Hunk was already missing in action, presumably in the food court.

Okay, so maybe it was all of team voltron that looked out of place.

Keith had somehow convinced Shiro that he should buy some hair dye, claiming it would help him feel better. Allegedly, Shiro simply agreed and asked Coran to put it on the schedule before they reached earth. Pidge suspected there was some more bribery involved. Lance swore up and down to the rest of the team that he heard Keith promising the Black lion to Shiro for an entire week. Not that it really mattered. They were able to reach a space mall, and take Allura this time, much to Coran's disdain. While he was babysitting the lions, Keith and Shiro were supposed to grab their hair dye. It was easy, just a quick deal.

The plan seemed to be taking longer than planned. Much longer.

After they walked around for about 25 dobashes Pidge was just about ready to sit down and let her small poor legs rest, when Keith pointed at a store seemingly smaller than the rest. Given its size, how he spotted it is a mystery. Pidge theroised Galra vision. She also theorized that Keith would have a fit if he ever found out she has theories and hyposeithis for that stuff.

Keith lead both Shiro and Pidge into the small hair shop, almost ignoring Lance when he says he's going to take Allura to go find something 'sparkly'. Shiro rolled his eyes, but doesn't stop him. A smart move on his part, really, Lance can almost never be stopped.

Pidge was confused when Keith suggested they head to a space mall. Not only did both of them have an interesting enough time the first time they went, Pidge was sure that Keith had enough hair dye to last him for a while. How he hoarded that much black dye on the ship was beyond her. He seemed to constantly be carrying some around in a pocket, either jacket or pants. He really should have known she'd find it sometime or another, given the fact that she likes to steal his jacket all the time. It was just so cosy when she needed it to be, hair dye and all.

But no, he claimed to have used all his hair dye while he was off in space for years, apparently. Not that Pidge had time to fully comprehend any of that. He promised to talk to her about it when they had a free moment. So far, the only free moments they had was at three am. Just her luck. She should have known Keith would take her suggestion to the limit. It was so secret that he loved his hair dye. Pidge made a mental note to update her powerpoint presentation on why hiding your true hair color isn't always needed. Who else was going to stop Matt from dying his hair bright red in middle school? But honestly, she thought that Keith didn't need to hide his purple hair. It was a part of him, and Pidge was sure it was adorable as heck too.

Pidge was jerked out of her thoughts as she felt a sharp tug from her right hand. Her eyes widened and she almost slipped straight into a display of odd looking space brushes that she had been heading for. Keith almost grinned with amusement and Pidge gave an apologetic smile in return. Keith then let go of their hands and turned to face both of them.

"Okay, here's the plan everybody," Keith started, rubbing his hands together excitedly. "I'm going to grab the blackest of the black hair dyes they've got for me. Pidge help Shiro find something a little less extreme, cause he's already got white hair. Something that has an off-brand™ name like Midnight or whatever. I don't want to kill your hair." Shiro nodded and Pidge gave Keith the thumbs up.

Shiro turned around and walked with Pidge through the tiny store that had enough displays to keep the duo occupied for weeks. It took a while to come across the all hair dye section, but they found it. Before them, was an expansive rainbow that lead all the way from pink and red to purple and black, with everything in between. Shiro actually gasped, earning Pidge a glare when she was caught trying to hide her laugh.

"It's not a sunset, Shiro," Pidge said, in between her laughing fits she tried to disguise as coughing. Shiro huffed at the phrase, something Lance said often when others got excited, and simply turned back to the display. He reached out his one hand to point and distinguish between the variety of different dark colors.

"It's pretty darn close, Pidge," he almost chuckled, pointing at the ones he was interested in, and clearly talking through something in his head.

Pidge walked along to the brighter colors, eyeing up the green colors. She had never dyed her hair before, or even really considered it. Katie had really prized her hair, it was something that she truly loved about herself. In grade school, she never could have brought herself to change her hair in any way.

The range that the brand had of the green was just enough to keep you second guessing yourself, but small enough that it wasn't overwhelming. Pidge stared intensely at one green, feeling a sense of recognition within. She reached it and grabbed the bottle of pure beautiful green, just to see at the bottom in bold white letters: AS SEEN ON VOLTRON - PALADIN PIDGE™️!

She exhaled something between a laugh and bewilderment, turning to Shiro, to show him the bottle as she breathed funnily. Her mouth made a funny noise, as she saw him, nose almost pressed to bottle to read the label. Pidge guessed maybe his hair wasn't his only grandpa like feature now.

"Striking Shiro?" He questioned out loud, before turning to Pidge. He smiled and laughed a little as he saw her holding the same bottle, both of them just staring at each other in complete shock, mixed heavily with ridiculousness.

They met Keith at the cashier.

Keith, was not a light shopper... to put it lightly. When he considered buying for stocking, he didn't just buy a few bottles. No. Keith had always been taught go big or go home. Shiro now regretted the old saying he used. Pidge regretted doing this at all.

There he was in all his glory, eight or nine bottles of jumbo sized Pure Black Swirl (Extra Strength)™️ and a happy little smile on his face. Pidge kept her mouth shut and her eyes rolling as she put down her one bottle of Paladin Pidge™️ and Shiro's two bottles of Striking Shiro™️. (After looking at the other colors, Pidge found the Killer Keith™️...after being not sure if it meant he had killer outfits or he was keen on murdering people, she decided not to pick it out. Some gems are better left untouched.)

All three of them were relieved to leave the small store, bags weighing them down, after 30 dobashes of complete nonsense. Although getting yelled at by Coran when they returned... was almost enough motivation to stay a little longer.

Voltron Hair Dye (part 1)

Hey y’all, so me and my friend @baka-on-bice came up with a fun idea for a short fic,, and now that I’ve written it I’m crossing my fingers for some fanart! I hope that everyone enjoys it!

Description: Pidge finds comfort in science and silence, but Keith finds comfort in making sure that his girlfriend gets the correct amount of hours of sleep she needs to be a functioning human being. When he finds her pulling another all-nighter, he’s willing to do anything to get her to go to sleep, even if that means planning a date to the space mall with all of team Voltron.

Wattpad: here

Keith made one of the oddest faces Pidge sworn she had ever seen, after he walked in on her pouring over her computer, typing furiously. He opened his mouth as if to ask her what in the world she could possibly be doing at 3 am in the middle of the cramped and messy kitchen, but then decided it better to just let her explain herself. For Keith's benefit, she would have considered it a good question, considering no one else on the cramped makeshift ship had the same odd habits that she seemed to have. Pidge decided to make things easier for him, and answer the question, since Keith seemed to be really be radiating that 'god I wish I was dead because my life is so goddamn random' vibe.

"Science," was all Pidge offered though, despite the fact that she knew there would be follow up questions. Keith looked ready to just throw his hands up in the air and give up on her, but instead opted for the classic overrexadurated combination of pinching the bridge of his nose and also facepalming.

Unfortunately for Keith, Pidge felt no regret in her answer or the fact that this was the second all-nighter Keith had caught her on, in a row. Pidge just really felt the need to blame her craziness on the fact that the person who programmed her just didn't have any sense of time, need for sleep, or know how to stop the sciences flowing throughout her entire small and energetic body. Not that she had a problem with any of it, she and her large straight black coffee were perfectly happy, not needing any man or women to interfere with her science research. Luckily for Pidge though, Keith had been dealing with her antics for long enough to know how to help her. A true blessing, that boy.

"Pidge," he started, finally bringing his hands away from his face, but not before pushing back the fluffy bangs that blocked his eyes. He sighed, and Pidge finally decided to set aside her computer for one small moment while she gave her full attention to whatever he was going to say to put her to sleep. But much to her surprise, he walked over behind her shoulder and looked on to what she was working on. "What science in the world could possibly be causing you to stay up for the second night in a row?" Her face brightened (well as much as it could, as if she wasn't already brightened enough from coffee and the blue light of her computer screen blaring into her glasses and around the room) and she instantly darted her hands forward to explain.

"Well, I'm so glad you asked," she practically glowed, positive that Keith could see the blue light that seemingly was emitting from all around her figure. "To begin, I had a few concerns about Shiro that needed addressing, so I started by scanning him, analyzing his life form, and other simple things like that. Of course, this lead to other things-" Keith put his hand up to stop her, and gave a weak smile and a small shake of his head. His eyes looked to be already too full of blue light, but he seemed to endure for her sake.

"Pidge, were all overly worried and protective about Shiro right now, I mean, he just came back from the dead. There's no need to stay up and examine things. He's safe."

Pidge deadpanned. "Keith, at breakfast Shiro told me that last night you tried to break into his room and watch over him while he slept," This remark earned her a huff and a pout from the black paladin, causing a small smile to come over her face. Pouty Keith was probably the best Keith (and quite possibly one of the bigger reasons she was able to fall in love with him. He was just so dang cute when someone teased him).

"Anyways," Pidge adjusted her glasses and continued, "at first I was very concerned that the loss of his mechanical arm would prove to be a threat to his overall health, but after running multiple tests on different versions of him in my database, my theories proved to be wrong, meaning he should be safe. I'm still working on putting ideas together to build him a new one, but it's proving harder than I thought. Although, that isn't what is bothering me tonight. I'm not working on coding and programming a robotic arm."

Keith widened his eyes as she paused to breathe, clearly surprised that he forgot how long her science explanations could get. She remembered that it had been a while since she had attempted to explain anything to team voltron, and yeah, that did include her boyfriend too. She took a deep breath before starting again.

"I've actually been worried about his head. Well, to be more precise, his hair. It's all white, and seems to have a small amount of Altean energy running through it. Now, mind you, I did in fact scan Lance after he died as was brought back to life to study -"

"I'm sorry, Lance what?" Keith was suddenly awake again. Pidge looked up in surprise, before bobbing her head back down to her computer.

"Yeah, go ask him about it. Allura saved him and all. She's pretty great, saving all the paladins. Anyways, I was able to scan Lance and Shiro around the same time after they came back to life, and what I observed in both of them was interesting. Lance seemed to have the same amount of Altean energy running around his hair and head, but after each day it it grew weaker. Lance doesn't have white hair, but Shiro does. And his energy isn't disappearing. And now Lance has taken to calling Shiro Space Grandpa instead of Space Dad. Anyways, Keith, this is a very long and complicated way of saying that I am not ready for Shiro to be a Space Grandpa, and I'm researching ways on how to get his old hair color back because it's bothering me so much that I can't sleep. He just can't be a grandpa, because that means we're old enough to have children, and we're really not. I mean, I know that I'm Kaltenecker's dad and Lance is her mom, but I just don't think that counts and it's kinda stressing me out-"

Keith once again stopped her train of thought by putting his hand on her shoulder, and looked into her eyes. He shook his head, but asked a question anyways.

"Pidge, what solutions have you come up with, and please, a short description."

"Hair Dye. It's almost perfect, because you can help him out with it. I've seen your dye in your room," she looked up to see his almost horrified expression. " What? Your mom has purple hair, you think I didn't notice your roots after I met her?"

"That's it!" Keith laughed as he closed her computer and lifted her around the waist in his other arm. "I've never been so insulted in my entire life!" Pidge laughed and reached for her computer that was now secured in his other arm. She yelled for him to put her down as she smiled pleadingly, but he just shook his head.

"I'm not setting you down until you've gotten a full nine hours of sleep. Goodness knows you need it." Pidge just smiled some more, and thanked her lucky stars that she had someone to watch out for her like him.
