Can u do where the reader quickly confesses and kisses before their love interest goes on a dangerous mission? And then they come back and confront each other about their feelings and it’s very fluffy and cute with a kiss? With hunk, pidge, and coran plz thxxxx

A/N: Sorry it’s been a little while since I posted something. I’ve been working on this the whole time! I hope y’all like it! Also, it’s so freaking hot where I live... it’s been like 105 degrees every day for the past week. I haven’t stopped sweating, and I kinda wanna sleep naked in a freezer right now... unfortunately our freezer is the kind where it’s a drawer under the fridge, and I wouldn’t fit very well... I’ll just suffer. 

Combined with “A very fluffy first kiss with hunk and coran plz :))” Hunk is first, Coran is last. 

Hunk

The paladins were going to be leaving to face Zarkon any time, and all I could do was stand back and watch them as they talked with Allura and Coran about their plan. I sat on the floor, leaning against someone’s chair and wrapping my arms around my knees. Hunk was the farthest away from me, but his face was visible from where I sat. He could die, and he’d never know how I feel…

My heart clenched at the thought of him dying. I tried not to think of his lifeless body drifting in space, the yellow lion in pieces, or his eyes wide open and lifeless…

Suddenly he was looking at me with a small frown on his handsome face. He cocked his head to the side, silently asking if I was okay. I smiled and nodded - but I wasn’t okay.

Their meeting ended, and everyone went their separate ways to collect themselves before they left.

Hunk and I waited until everyone was gone to say anything. He did approach me though, and as soon as the door swished closed, I launched off the ground and wrapped my arms tightly around his torso. “Hey,” he said and stumbled back a few steps. “What’s going on?”

I didn’t - no, couldn’t - say anything; my throat was tight and tears threatened to fall from my eyes.  

“Y/N…” Hunk embraced me tightly and placed his head on mine. I didn’t want to let him go. He was warm and when I was hugged by him everything felt right in the world. I couldn’t bear for his body to be cold… “Hey, come on. You can tell me anything, you know.”

So, I told him the thing we told each other all the time: “I love you.” Except I never meant it in a friendly way. I loved him, and I had before we even went to space. If I were to tell him that, would he reject me? Would it ruin our friendship? Then again, we wouldn’t have a friendship anymore if he died, and I’d spend the rest of my life regretting the fact that he never knew how I felt.

Without thinking about it anymore, I pulled away from his embrace, put my hands on either sides of his face, and kissed him. It only lasted for a second before I took a few steps away from him and crossed my arms over my chest. He looked at me, mouth wide open and obviously confused. “Wha-why-you-Y/N! Why did you kiss me?”

As soon as he said that, a siren blared through the castle intercom, signaling it was time for Hunk to go. “Listen, I love you, but you should go. We can talk about this as soon as you get back!”

As it turns out, that was too soon. I wasn’t quite ready to declare, though it was more likely to be sheepishly admit, my feelings for him, but if I didn’t do it soon, I likely never would. I ended up waiting in the yellow lion’s hangar for him to come back. The second he stepped onto the floor of the hangar, I stood up, pointed at him, and blurted, “Hunk! I’m in love with you!” Although I had planned to say it a little more kindly and a lot softer in the volume of my voice, I didn’t regret what I did.

“Is that what you mean when we say ‘I love you’?” Hunk called, cupping his hands around his mouth to help his voice carry.

“Yeah!”

Hunk lowered his hands and grinned. “That’s what I’ve been meaning too! I just thought you didn’t feel the same way!”

The happiness I felt in that moment is indescribable. I felt like I was flying as I ran to him. Hunk held his arms open, which I gladly jumped into, and I we just hugged each other for a few minutes before Hunk let me go and kissed me.

At the moment, it was hard to think of anything that was better than that: to know your best friend loved you.

Pidge

“Okay,” I cleared my throat and adjusted the way I sat on the floor, “truth or dare?”

Pidge inhaled deeply, pressing her lips together and gazed off in the distance for a second. “If I choose dare, I’m scared you’re going to dare me to go streaking through the halls or something… And there’s not really anything I have to hide, so… truth, I guess.”

“Okay. Do you have a crush on anyone on the castle?” I held my breath, expecting her to admit that she liked Hunk, even though I liked her and hoped she would have feelings for me. They were really close friends, and total nerds. If she were to end up with anyone besides me, I’d want it to be him.

“Yes.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“Nope.” Did… did that mean she liked me? Or just that she didn’t feel comfortable telling me? Her answer gave me a little hope, but I didn’t get a chance to overthink it because Pidge was already moving on to her turn. Pidge smirked and leaned back on her hands. “Okay, y/n, truth or dare?”

“You made me lick one of Allura’s mice last time, so truth, I guess.”

“Okay, same question: do you like anyone here?”

Of course I did, but if Pidge wasn’t willing to fess up as to who she liked, I don’t think I wanted to either. So, because of her wording, I decided to play innocent. “Of course I do! I like everyone here! Everyone is ni-”

Pidge narrowed her eyes and clenched her jaw. “Y/N… you know that’s not what I meant.”

I copied her position and leaned back on my hands. After a few deep breaths, I decided to do something gutsy: “Why don’t we both say who we have feelings for on the count of three?” Pidge nodded in her agreement, and together, we counted.

“One… two… three!” We both took a breath and shouted, “You!”

Wow… okay… I really hadn’t expected her to say that she liked me. I really did think she would say Hunk’s name, but I wanted to be honest with her. Even if it would ruin our friendship… she had to know, didn’t she?

Pidge opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Coran’s voice sounded through the castle, alerting the paladins of danger. Pidge stood up, an apology spewing from her mouth, and ran out of the room we were in.

The Paladins didn’t come back for three days. In those three days, I wondered what I would say to Pidge when she came back. Coran, noticing my awkward behavior, attempted to ask what was wrong, but I just told him that I wasn’t feeling well and avoided him as much as I could.

I found myself sitting near Pidge’s room when Coran announced that the Paladins had returned. Pidge would probably head straight to her room to change, so that’s where I waited.

Pidge looked exhausted when she finally came into view. Her head was down, she dragged her feet a little, and her body swayed with each step. Her hair was greasy too, something I knew she couldn’t stand. When she looked up, I saw the dark circles under her eyes and a bruise on her forehead, but as soon as she saw me, she smiled, waved, and picked up her pace. I stood up and immediately hugged her. She sighed and melted into my embrace.

“You okay?” I asked her.

“Yeah, I’m just really tired,” she mumbled. “Hey, Y/N?” Pidge pulled away from me a little bit and stared into my eyes.

“What’s up?”

Pidge surged forward and kissed me, pulling away before I even had a chance to process what had happened. “Look, I love you, okay? I was scared to say anything because I didn’t want it to ruin our friendship, but-”

I cut her off by placing my lips on hers. She kissed me back, and after a few seconds, we both pulled away. “I feel the same way,” I said with a small laugh. “So… wanna go try out a first date?”

“Sure. Just let me go shower first… I’m sure I don’t smell good.”

Coran

Coran was a very welcomed presence in the castle for me. He was calm yet energetic, optimistic yet serious, and so kind. Even though he was quite a bit older than me, I found that I didn’t mind so much. Hanging around with him in the castle while the Paladins were away was one of my favorite things to do, and I looked forward to every opportunity to.

I wouldn’t be seeing him for a little while, though; not for a week. There was a rare part that he needed to repair something in the castle, and he’d caught wind that a group of space pirates had one. Knowing how to deal with those sorts, he left the castle immediately with Pidge. He had done this several times before, but never for that long, so before he left, he came by my room to say goodbye.

He gave me a hug and said, in a low voice, “I’ll see you in a week, Y/N.”

As he began to walk away, I reached out and grabbed his hand. “I love you,” I blurted out. The two of us froze, with him not expecting what I said and me not expecting to say it. After a few seconds of silence, he turned around and kissed me. It was soft and short and his mustache felt funny on my face, but the feeling in my heart made me want to explode as he pulled away.

“I’ll be back soon,” he murmured, and left.

The week passed by agonizingly slow. Every second felt like a day, and every minute a year. Almost obsessively, I checked the position of the green lion every hour. Allura kept tabs on them. I didn’t dare talk to Pidge or Coran, afraid that once I started talking, I’d start announcing how I felt about Coran. Pidge definitely wouldn’t want to hear that, so I stayed quiet. In fact, I avoided the control room unless I wanted to check on where they were.

The time came where they were coming back. Then, I stayed huddled in a chair, watching the little green dot travel across the holographic map that I expanded to take up the entire room. I fell asleep at some point, and when I woke up, Coran was crouching down to kneel next to my chair.

“Good morning, my love,” Coran said with a smile.

My heart skipped a beat. With a groan, I sat up straight and hissed when my back protested and pain shot shot up and down my spine.

Coran took my hand and helped me out of the chair. “Go get some sleep, Y/N,” he ordered, gently placing a hand on my lower back and guiding me to the door. “You’ve got dark circles under your eyes.”

I nodded and as I began to walk away from him, he grabbed my hand and spun me around to face him. “I almost forgot!” He put an arm around my waist and pressed a soft kiss against my lips, similar to our first one. When he pulled away, he was smiling. “I love you too, Y/N. Now, go get some sleep. We can go on a first date tomorrow.”
