#Voltron AU Where Everbody Lives

[galraluver]

Could we please get a senario where Ranveig confesses his feelings to the reader?

You sure can, I hope you like it:)

_________________________________________

Ever since (Y/n) ended up in space with the rest of her crew, got separated from said crew and basically got given away to a huge alien warlord she gave up on trying to regain her freedom since there was no way for her to escape and find a way home. Ranveig wasn't as cruel to her as she originally thought he would be, although life with him could be a little rough because he was a seasoned warrior who was in charge of one of the most dangerous areas of the universe. He often acted gruff around her which was expected, (Y/n) eventually settled into her new life after adjusting to it as time went on. At some point she began to realize that she had a little crush on Ranveig; it wasn't like he specifically captured her or purposefully held her against her will, if anything he was protecting her from the space monsters that lived in his part of the universe. (Y/n) decided to accept how she felt about him since she might only have one shot at finding love.

Ranveig, on the other hand, nearly had a heart attack when he came to the realization that he'd developed feelings for the young human woman Zarkon gifted him with; he never thought anyone could make him fall in love, but apparently (Y/n) had that ability. When Ranveig began being nicer and gentler towards her (Y/n) suspected something was going on, he was known to be gruff and stubborn, and yet as soon as he began treating her better she wondered if he was having a midlife crisis. He had given her better living conditions and better food as well; the small gifts he gave her were unexpected too, she could hardly believe how well he treated her. One evening in particular Ranveig had (Y/n) join him for dinner, it wasn't exactly the most unusual request except for the fact that they were completely alone and he let her sit on a chair instead of the floor. For the most part neither of them really said much during the meal, so it was pretty awkward for both parties involved.

"(Y/n) there's something I need to tell you." Ranveig said after a while, breaking the silence after what felt like forever.

"I'm listening." (Y/n) replied quietly, feeling a little nervous about what he was going to say since he was known to be unpredictable.

Ranveig looked conflicted for a moment as he figured out what he was going to say, he wanted to let (Y/n) know he had feelings for her and free her from essentially being a slave, but he quickly found himself speechless. He'd never fallen so deeply in love with anyone before, he wasn't sure how to actually confess those feelings to the person he'd fallen in love with. Sure, he'd had a thing for someone back when he was a cadet, although that was a very long time ago. (Y/n) just sat there, a feeling of panic welling up within her because she didn't know what Ranveig was about to tell her. After a few moments the expression on Ranveig’s softened and he took a deep breath, attempting to settle his nerves.

"I've come to take a liking to you, (Y/n). What I'm trying to say is that I wish to court you. You've made me feel things that I haven't felt since I was a mere cadet. Will you allow me to court you?" Ranveig softly asked her once he regained his composure.

The young woman's heart sped up as he spoke his confession; (Y/n) couldn't believe that Ranveig, the big tough Warlord, was asking her of all people if he could court her. She couldn't believe that he had feelings for her since it didn't seem possible or even realistic, and yet he'd just confessed his love to her. Ranveig was never actually cruel to her; he didn't beat her up nor did he rape her or verbally abuse her, during her time living with him he treated her better than the other slaves he owned. She felt a little anxious after his confession, but she also felt comfortable around him at the same time. Ranveig patiently waited for (Y/n) to say something, knowing that she was beyond shocked.

"I- I- Yes. I will." (Y/n) stuttered, smiling up at him while her heart nearly burst out of her chest; he still scared her a tiny bit, although his rough exterior could be a little misleading.

Ranveig beamed down at her from across the table, happy that she gave him permission to court her since he couldn't ask for her hand in marriage. He was relieved that he finally told (Y/n) how he really felt, a moment later he officially freed her from being a pet/slave so that she could be his equal. For a moment (Y/n) could hardly believe that he freed her so easily, it would take a while for her to adjust to her newfound freedom. She would do her best to prove herself worthy to her new significant other, it was the least she could do in fear of him one day thinking she was weak. Ranveig and (Y/n) talked comfortably throughout the rest of dinner and all through dessert, discussing a few things about their new relationship such as simple boundaries and how they would use a mixture of human and galra dating and courtship methods.
