Warped! {A Voltron Reader Insertion}

Chapter 6~ Return of the Gladiator

You drag your feet on the grey metal flooring of the corridors, lagging behind the other three Paladins as you headed towards the dining hall. You were still half asleep, though you woke up what you felt like was hours ago.

The way you woke up made you groan. Shiro came in and kindly asked you to get up, to which you not-so-kindly asked him to leave you be. Then Lance came in and jumped on you, Pidge ripped your covers off, and Hunk brought in something that smelled like hot chocolate, but tasted like anything but. He explained that Coran made it. Keith then scolded all of you for being loud and taking too much time, which lead to him and Lance arguing, which lead to you screeching at them to get out of your room so you could get ready.

It was a rough morning.

"Seriously, how far do you think my Lion kicked that broken alien ship? Must have been like a mile!" You hear Lance exclaim to no one in particular, proud of his accomplishment. "Yeah, that'll come in handy when the Galra challenges Voltron to a soccer match." Keith sarcastically replies. You all enter the dining hall, you rushing over to the table and taking a seat, food being the only thing on your mind.

"Hey, I did something cool and you can't handle it. I get it." Lance defends himself, clearly intending on riling up the red Paladin. "Your kick ruined our balance. We fell." Keith points out. "Well that falling part was Hunk's fault." "Hey!" "Save it, you guys. I'm grouchy, and hungry, you do NOT wanna be on my bad side." You joke. Coran then enters with a tray, smiling at you all. You started to drool just staring at the metal of the tray.

"Hello, guys! How was the Voltron workout?" Coran asks cheerfully, setting the plate down in the middle of the table. "They're getting there. Are you and Allura almost done fixing the Castle so we can leave this planet? I feel like we're sitting ducks here on Arus." Shiro replies, taking a seat next to you "Just about. In the meantime, to get your minds off those duck seats you're worried about, I made you guys an authentic ancient Paladin lunch!" Coran exclaims, revealing an abomination. You would've thrown up, but you didn't think you were physically able to with the lack of contents in your stomach. It was chunky, slimy, and- Is that FUZZ?! From the looks from around the table, you weren't the only one repulsed by this so called food.

"Aw, Coran, you just got me hooked on that goo and now you're switching it up?" Hunk cries. "What, this is packed with nutrients." Coran exclaims. You stab it with your fork, clenching your jaw as it giggles on your fork. "Maybe it tastes better than it looks.." You mutter through gritted teeth. Shiro makes you put your fork down. "Oh, it smells disgusting!" Hunk shouts, then gags. "I know! That's how you know it's healthy!" Coran exclaims, pointing his finger up.

Hunk takes out a plant he must've gotten from the Arusian ground and stands up. "Coran, we're on a planet now with fresh herbs, spices, and... whatever this thing is. A tuber? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head back to the kitchen and spice things up." Hunk says, leaving Keith, Coran, Lance, and you at the table.

"Where's Shiro?" Keith asks Coran, who shoves a spoonful of his nasty goo into his mouth. You almost threw up. "With Pidge. Probably checking on those... prisoners we rescued from Zarkon. They'll all be waking soon in the infirmary." Coran answers, not bothering to swallow his food before eating. You cringe again. Keith nods in response.

Just then, your bracelet starts buzzing, signaling an incoming call from Erika. The buzzing wasn't obnoxiously loud like when you leave your phone on vibrate and leave it on a table when you get a call. You cover it up with your hand. "I'll check on them. I'll be back in time for food!" You make up an excuse and quickly exit the room. Coran suddenly steps in front of you, holding his bowl of goo.

"Open the hatch. Food Lion coming in!" He exclaims, moving the spoon of funk towards your face. Out of instincts, and fear, you smack the food away from you, while screaming "NOT TODAY SATAN". The goo ultimately landed on and unsuspecting Coran. You heard Lance laugh at what happened, while Coran just stared at you in shock. "A challenge, ehhhhh? I'll get you to eat it one day!" He exclaims as you make a break for the door. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" You screech back.
