Hologram Roses (Pidge x Reader)

Hologram Roses | Pidge x Reader

Warnings: FLUFF – a juice pouch is thrown (so violence)

Words: 1.7k

“You’re drooling,” Pidge was interrupted from her routinely checking-you-out-at-lunch by Keith giving her a smirk, “Just ask them out already.”

“I can’t exactly do that,” She tore her eyes away from you and back to her lunch. You were sitting across the dining hall at a table with a few other cadets on the Atlas. Pidge had desperately wanted to sit and get to know you better, but she couldn’t even work up the guts to even walk near you. Which was weird since she was usually fine doing “socially daring” things. Speaking her mind came easily, even if she was surrounded by people she didn’t know. She was blunt with her words and sharp with her actions, but with you it all became muddled.

Pidge never knew how to talk to you, which resulted in a lot of awkward and confusing conversations on your part. Again, she was fine with anyone else, but you made her stomach twist into knots and her palms sweat. You were a mystery to her, and that was terrifying – nothing was a mystery, not completely.

“Why not? How will you ever know if they like you back?” Keith nudged her shoulder, which only caused Pidge to frown.

“I won’t know for sure, but I’ve got a hunch that they don’t; besides if I’m rejected where am I going to go into hiding? The Atlas is big, but it’s not that big.”

“Well, I guess you’re right; you’ve got nowhere to go into hiding because they’re heading this way.” Keith nodded his head in your direction, and – true enough – you were walking over to them.

Pidge made a move to get up, but Keith clamped a hand on her shoulder, keeping her in place. She seriously considered slithering under the table to escape her fate, but by the time she was ready to become a snake, you were standing before her. Her entire body went rigid not including her stomach which was doing flips.

“Hey Katie,” You said quietly. Katie. You were the only one she let call her that (aside from family) and it made her face burn.

“H-howdy y/n,” As soon as she said it, she wanted to dive headfirst into a blackhole. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Keith struggling to keep his composure. He was biting back laughs, and she would definitely get him back later for putting her in this situation. Howdy? She facepalmed and tried to hide her ever-growing crimson cheeks with her hands.

“I was wondering if you were busy later? I’ve been working on a plant species with your mom in the greenhouse, and I was thinking that you may be able to bond some of your tech with it like the – “

“Yes!” Pidge blurted, not bothering to listen to the rest of what you were going to say. You wanted to spend time with her? Then she was there. No questions asked. A little voice in the back of her mind warned her that she was getting too attached to you for no logical reason, but she dismissed it out of sheer excitement.

“Perfect!” Your face lit up, and Pidge took notice of the dusting of pink littering your cheeks. She could feel her muscles turning to jelly, how were you so perfect? “I’ll meet you down there in about two hours, okay? I have to set up a few things first.”

“Sounds good,” She practically whispered as you bounded out of the room, turning to look back at her as you reached the door, then marching right along.

“What just happened?!” Pidge gasped, looking to Keith with wide eyes.

“Seems to me,” He beamed, “That you get to spend a few hours alone with y/n talking about technology. It’s all the things you love!”

“I do not love y/n!” She punched his shoulder, “I just have a deep regard for them, that’s all.” With one last punch to the shoulder, just for good measure, Pidge stood up and went to get ready for… whatever it was that you two were about to do.

She got to her room, applying deodorant and picking out travel size computers and a few, smaller, projects to take down to the greenhouse. However, that only took her about ten minutes; meaning she still had another hour and forty-five minutes (counting the time it took to get back to her room). So, doing the only logical thing she could, she started watching the Voltron show that was being made by some of the aliens and people on Earth at the Garrison. That is, until her brother inevitable walked in.

“Hey Pidge!” He smiled, “You busy?”

“Yes.” She answered, plainly, not looking away from the television.

“But you’re just watching cartoons?” Matt sat down on the bed next to her, the shift in weight caused the bed to dip which, in turn, had Pidge slide into him.

“I’m waiting,” She groaned peeling grabbing at the sheets to scooch over.

“For…?”

“Y/n invited me down to the greenhouse, in thirty minutes now, and we are going to go over a few things about trying to bond plants with tech – or something.”

“Oh!” Matt let out an impish laugh, “So that’s what they were up to. Yea I don’t think you’ll be – you know what never mind.” Pidge had been fairly disinterested in Matt up until that point.

“What do you mean?” Pidge shot up from the bed, grabbing his arm with an intense death-grip, “What are they doing?”

Matt kept a silent. A shit-eating grin adorned his face, causing Pidge to become frantic. What the hell was happening?

“Matt!” She gripped his arm tighter if that was even possible, “Tell me!” With every passing moment of silence Pidge grew more and more nervous about the whole thing. Was it some sort of joke? A prank from Keith or Lance? And, though, Pidge grew more upset, Matt only grew more amused.

“Fine,” He finally spoke, “Because I love you and I want this to go well, I will give you one piece of advice.”

Honestly that made the entire situation seem even sketchier, and she was sure that it was some form of prank now. However, it was y/n and Pidge couldn’t even dream of ghosting them (even if it was for some practical joke). She didn’t care, she was willing to go through with it. That little tidbit was scarier than any other monster or battle she has ever fought.

“Just tell me already! I have to go soon,” Pidge demanded in a mix between a whine and a growl (troll noise?).

“My advice is: Take a breath mint before you go.” And with that, Matt shook away his sister’s arm and left her alone – dumbfounded and enraged. However, she was sure to eat two mints before traveling towards the greenhouse, just to be safe.

Upon arrival to the room, she noticed the faint smell of flowers that were constantly wafting through the hallway and her heart clenched (she wasn’t sure if it was positive or negative). Pidge mentally prepared herself for a joke, and trudged towards the entrance, not wanting her mind to go completely upon seeing y/n. As she turned into the doorway, her breath caught in her throat.

The entire room was being lit by delicate fairy lights strung along the walls. In the middle stood a picnic with peanut butter cookies and juice boxes, roses were cascading from a basket and were piled high around the picnic as a whole. Then, there was Y/n. You were wearing the most gorgeous outfit that Pidge had ever seen.

Pidge’s mind was – for once – completely blank. She didn’t know what to do, her heart was racing, and she couldn’t formulate a single word.

“I – yah – uh – wha?” Pidge stumbled through her unintelligible sentence, looking between you and the computers she had ended up bringing in her hands.

“Do you like it?” You questioned, sending a coy smile her way. You had never been one for dramatics, but with Pidge… you wanted to ensure that she knew just how much you liked her. Even if she turned you down – God, you hoped she wouldn’t turn you down. What would you do if she turned you down? Oh no, she’s going to turn you down!

Her silence had made time for doubt to claw its way into your head, and you were only drawn away from it by Pidge’s voice:

“Y/n, I- I love it!” You had just enough time to look up at her to see her flinging herself into your arms. Your balance was thrown off by the sudden action, and you fell into the rose pile. Pidge had expected the pile to cushion the fall and provide some sort of support for you both, but it had dissipated upon contact. You both fell to the floor with a loud thud.

“What?” Pidge groaned, sitting up slightly to look down at you. (She had fallen on you because that’s just how cliché works, alright?)

“The roses might have been a hologram…” You say with a nervous chuckle. “I was hoping you wouldn’t realize.”

Pidge giggles at your response, pushing some back some hair that had flopped into your face in order to look into your eyes.

“I’ve wanted to do this for quite some time,” She whispers leaning down. You could feel your breaths mingling together.

“And what’s that?” You close your eyes, and lean up into her.

“This,” You had barely heard her, as you felt her lips just barely brush against your lips, but you were interrupted by a loud squeal.

“Y’all sure do move fast!” Matt laughed from the doorway. You could see Keith trying to tug him away, a small smile playing at his face. “And here I though Pidge would’ve fainted from all the excitement.”

Pidge let out a frustrated growl, and chucked a drink pouch at his head. Matt and Keith disappeared quickly after that, and Pidge let out a relieved sigh before turning back to you, but you were already standing holding an open hand down to her.

“I don’t think you ever answered my question,” You grinned, teasingly.

Pidge grabbed your hand, and you pulled her to you as she answered, “How’s this?”

She placed a chaste kiss to your cheek (because she’s smol okay guys), and both your faces were blushing profusely.

“So was that a yes or no?”
