Unpredictable - The Rewrite! {Keith Kogane X Reader} ~•Voltron Fanfiction•~

Team Bonding; The Past Comes Back

I get up off the floor, done contemplating my thoughts, when I hear footsteps approaching. I turn and see Shiro coming towards me.

“Hey.” He says as he takes a seat on the floor beside me.

“Hey.” I respond back, more softer than usual.

“You okay?” He asks.

“Yeah, just, in my head you know?” I answer, chuckling afterwards. Shiro exhales.

“Well, Allura’s calling for a meeting, come on let’s go.” Shiro says as he gets up, he holds out his hand and I take it. He helps me up and then we make our way to the bridge, we’re the last to arrive.

“Welcome you two, now we can begin.” Coran enthusiastically says.

“Okay, I know you’ve all enjoyed the time off but it’s time to get back to work. Coran will lead you in some team bonding activities while I handle some things here.” Allura explains.

“Right! Everyone gear up and meet me on the training deck in 10 dobashes! Move paladins move!!!” Coran shouts. We all ran off to change and meet back at the training deck. “Now, everyone grab a partner!”

“Hey, want to be my partner hermana?” Lance asks. I look at him then look at the others.

“Oh, well you see,” I start, “Hunk wanted to be your partner and besides I’m with Keith!” I say, making Hunk and Keith look at me confused. Lance sighs as I make my way next to Keith.

“But I didn’t even-”

“Shh, Keith, just roll with it.” I say with a giggle.

“Good, you all partnered up quickly! Now then, let’s begin with the first thing: escape!” Coran says, next thing we know we’re completely tied to our partner, back to back. “Try to escape, now begin!” Coran shouts. I turn my head so Keith can hear me over the shouting from the others.

“How do you presume we get out of these ropes?” I ask.

“Well, we’re bound at the ankles, hands, arms, and waist. Start with your hands, see if you can slip them through.” Keith says. I attempt to do as he says, it takes me a minute but I did it.

“Got it, here, get your hands.” I say as I help him get his hands out of the binds. Once our hands are free we attempt the arms. We easily slip the ropes above our heads then untie our ankles, leaving only the waist.

“Where’s the knot? This rope is too small to just slip off.” Keith asks. I look around me but I can’t find it.

“I don’t know, do you see it?” I ask.

“Wait, I feel it, it’s behind me-”

“Keith!” I shout.

“What??” He shouts back confused. My face is burning red.

“That’s my back…” I say softly. Keith exhales sharply.

“Well, where it’s at you won’t be able to get to it, so I’ll untie it.” He says. I feel his hands moving around the rope, trying to untie the knot. After Keith slips the rope off, we see that we’re second to finish. Shiro and Pidge were first to finish, I assume because of Pidge’s small size.

“Great work everyone, now for the next pair activity; sparring!” I exhale in relief as Coran announces the next activity, I’m good at sparring plus I get a rematch with Keith, this will definitely be worthwhile. “First up, our winning team, Shiro and Pidge!”

As Pidge and Shiro battle, I turn and see Lance glaring at Keith. I give Lance a death glare and he immediately backs off. I turn back to see Pidge on Shiro’s shoulders as they make him trip with their bayard’s rope. In the end, Pidge won.
