p.s - anything with a bracket has a cm behind it unless it's not numbers . then go ahead and assume it's not height-related .

-------------------------------------------------------

the rest of the afternoon , they went full blown matchmaking mode . " listen man , if we want them to do the deed , first they have their needs , " lance slammed his hands on the table , a customer walking in and widening their eyes a bit before backtracking and walking back in , albeit further from lance .

" no lance , you aren't listening ! " pidge pressed her fingers against her temple . " we need them together first , then we set the plan into action . " lance threw up his hands , " listen babygirl , i know you cute and all but this attitude ain't it . boo , they need to go on a solo trip first and we stalk them , then we head out with your plan . "

the full-blown chaos at the table for two continued , as allura and romelle calmly took orders . " mmmhmm , aight , i need to dip soon before anyone from class sees me - " " well what about me ?! " " shit i forgot you weren't twelve , " lance snickered playfully as pidge leaned over the table to punch him . " fuck you ! "

quietly , they snuck out the moment shiro and matt walked in during their lunch period - yes , the ' double trouble duo floopers ' - i swear i'm only the narrator - were intense stalkers . they hid behind the counter , staring right at the ' #shatt ' couple as they sat at the table the duo was hust at . " ⁰⁰⁰k s⁰ l¹ke wh⁴t'⁵ the p¹⁴n , " lance whispered , pidge scrunching her eyebrows at him . " what the fuck did you just say ?? " she whisper-shouted , cause lance to roll his eyes and nearly stand up , if it wasn't for pidge . " i said ok so like what's the plan - " " no yer fokin did nawt ! "

their under the counter bickering continued , until pidge's ass was met with a rough kick from allura , allura's face with a desthly sweet smile . " hey matt ! hey shiro - since when did your lunch breaks fit together so nicely ? " allura teased , hearing matt snicker a bit . lance and pidge , from behind the counter , physically f e l t shiro's blush as they scrambled to sneak out .

" th¹⁵ ¹⁵ ⁰ur ch⁴nce , " lance hissed , trying to hold back laughter . pidge pinched his cheek , " ⁵top talking in goddamn ... superscript or the ... fuck math . " lance pushed her by the booty out as they crawled , " i said this is our chance !! move !! "

as romelle blocked the display on her left so the duo could slide on out safely without being notice - " pidge ? " matt squinted at the display case , " oh no , pidge is in class , isn't she ? besides , she never comes to our shop unless it's lunchtime , " romelle diverted matt's attention , the crawling duo quickly falling over themselves on the slippery tiled floor as they walked on all fours - more correctly , struggled and slipped and mopped the floor -

" ... pidge never comes alone ? she's never seen here without me , lance , hunk or keith ... ? " matt raised a eyebrow suspiciously , shiro's mind turning and turning and - " she's here with lance , isn't she ??? i didn't mark her attendance this morn - " matt flung his head around towards shiro on his left his face half scrunched up with confusion . shiro blushed a bit and he told himself this was the wrong time to feel this sinful way .

matt looked at romelle's nervous face , looked back at shiro and looked to the gorund on his right as he heard some knocking noises . he blinked once , twice , opened and closed his mouth , " so you played truant with lance ? mom's gonna - " he paused abruptly , wincing as pidge's face crumbled a bit .

shiro blinked at least five times , looking around . " ... your mom's gonna what ? i-i didn't see her contact number on the list in the ' call in case of emergencies ' column , " shiro squished matt's shoulder , confusion intensifying as allura and romelle cringed physically , the line of customers backing away a bit as they formed a new line so allura could take their orders .

matt , in all his 5'2 glory [ 161 if you're like me and had to use google to figure out because america doesn't work the same way as pretty much the rest of the world ] - not including his shoes and hair though , in that case he's 5'10 - immediately threw shiro's hand off him and dragged pidge and lance out , throwing them harshly on the curb and shouting bloody murder about truancy and that they should've have skipped class and all the things that shiro would've said but in a much softer voice and even softer use of language . " uhm . t-two caramel fraps with no whipped cream ? " shiro itched the back of his neck , handing allura his credit card as romelle went outside for damage control . " c-coming right up ??? " allura swiped his card , gave it back to him and shiro smiled nervously before heading outside for damage control part 2 .

-------------------------------------------------------

so here shiro was , trying to stop matt from pulling the troublemaking duo's ears and saying sorry to the passerbys . " l-look matthew , you don't have to - " " stop calling me matthew , just call me matt , and yes i have to ! " shiro blinked a blush as he opened the door to the tattoo shop .

a few heads turned as the bell on the door rang , the windchime in the shop right next to the door clinging ... sweetly , as weird as it is - albeit on the softer side as well . not what you'd expect from a typical windchime .

lotor smiled painfully as he finsiehd up some paperwork and handed it to the nervous client , whispering assuredly to them - " don't worry , our reputation as a shop is that it's mostly only for the brave , so y'know ... ya gotta have some kind of balls to come here . " the client just sucked in some air , refusing to turn around .

" matt , stop please , i'm literally 6'2 [ 190 ] and you're bringing me down to like , 7'4 [ 225 ]- wait no i meant 5'4 [ 164 ] - ouch ! " lance whimpered , pidge just getting dragged upwards since she was 5'2 . i'm not kidding here , she's like , the bare minimum of 159 . she likes to say 159.5 just to make herself feel better so she can round it up to 160 .

matt psuhed them down at his work station and closed the curtain , sitting down on the swivel stool and sighing , hands covering his face . pidge and lance sat close to each other , lance gulping a bit at the sight of a cotton ball with dried blood on a tray with piercing items . shiro had taken notice of the cart's tray and out of sheer terror , dropped it into the trashcan next to the cart , pitying the poor person who had to sit through that .

matt breathed in deeply , proceeding to stand up and make the swivel chair taller , before sitting back down and taking off his shoes and hearing them drop against the floor . then , quite unnervingly , looking directly at pidge and lance in the eye . " miei amici , mi amigos , 我的朋友们， my friends . how many languages do you need til you understand ? what has gotten into you ?! especially you , katie - la mia famiglia, il mio girasole [ i'm sorry , i had to google translate , hopefully it means ' my family , my sunflower ' ] ! mama and papa trusted me to take care of you since we were little kids - " matt cut himself off , putting his head on shiro's bicep as he sighed , squishing it a bit . " stress ball , " he whispered quietly as shiro patted his other shoulder .

pidge and lance were trying not to ship it too hard in misdt of the end of their life . shiro breathed out , hoping he wasn't blushing too hard . " listen , please ... " he did a dad sigh , matt following along . " i know that it's ' oh-so-hard ' to sit down in a classroom and listen to a teacher drone on and on and i get it - i was a student myself quite a while ago . but it doesn't mean you can simply skip like this , " shiro scolded gently , petting matt's hair as matt clung to him increasingly more .

the recievers were just quietly staring at their hands , starting to feel bad . " we're s⁰rry , " lance said quietly , his voice cracking a bit . pidge held back a badly timed laugh , shiro shaking his head as he watched pidge struggle to hold back .

preface - i have a tag called #cloudyhadachanceofwatering so you can find my writing stuff . continue on !!

-------------------------------------------------------

keith had winced a bit , matt patting his chest with quiet , hollow thuds emmitting . " hey , it's okay , nothin' much , my little one , " he stroked his shoulder softly , working quickly to clean and disinfect the earring as the numbing hit keith .

shiro was shocked to his core , staring with a gaping mouth at keith aimlessly . keith quickly took notice whilst getting his hand hit by matt for trying to touch his ear , " what's it 'bout , tough guy ? " he'd said sharply , the thudding in his ear fading off for the better .

see shiro wasn't actually paying attention to keith . he was more of ... in a grey area of alive and dead , because goddamn was matt a blessing to this earth . he was so quiet , so soothing , so calm and everything shiro would want for a person . " earth to softie ? " matt teased as he put keith's earrings back , smiling . " nah , he'll be fine . ignore his gay as - " " keith ! what did i tell you about swearing ??? " shiro snapped sternly , out of his little gay trance .

" oh fuck , you were right , he IS really sensetive about you swearing ! " matt threw his head back and laughed , checking keith's other piercings as keith sighed . " god , when i head home with shiro , it's the dishes again because i can't cuss even though i'm like what ? 18 ? pffft , " keith rolled his eyes , punching shiro's abs playfully . shiro just did his signature sigh , earning some mocks from keith and matt .

" keith . what did i tell you ? you - " " you're not old enough to even get a decent job at mcdonalds' , let alone work a job at a office ! you haven't even finished studying , and that should be your main focus , not asking me ' hey shiro , can i get piercing that you don't approve of 'cause i think it's hot on other people ' so i can live without worrying over you not doing well in the future , siiiiiiigghhh . when will you mature ? one can only hope , but i do hope it is fairly soon . you must remember that i won't be your guardian forever , siiiiggghhh . you aren't paying attwntion are you ? i care for you and i want your best interests at heart , my little keithy . siiiiggghhh . come here , i promise i won't repeat myself again , okay ? mmmuuuaaaaaahhhh !! " keith copied , droning on in a low tone as matt snorted . shiro's face flushed in embarrassment and ohmygodmatt'ssogoddamncute . shiro sighed , a hint of love in it as he shook his head , looking to the floor .

matt just laughed a bit louder , his head falling back and his mass of ... fluff fluffing around , fluffing like fluffs usually fluff about . can you taste the cattail fluff yet , mr krabs ?

and shiiro was absolutely e n a m o u r e d by his movements and every word , nothing quite sinking in midst of his foggy , lovestruck brain .

-------------------------------------------------------

" you can always drop by my apartment and ask for help , y'know , instead of paying me for this , " matt stated , doing the - as shiro's mind dubs it - ' pulling strand of hair and it's very effectively seductive and physics doesn't work when he lets go of it because of the bouncy-bouncy . '

keith took the hint as matt glanced sideways through half-lidded eyes at shiro , not at his face because matt was too short . more at his abs that he could not see past the sweatshirt but it definitely felt like that to shiro .

matt leaned forward over the counter , looking up and resting his sharp but rounded head on his hands , hair framing it perfectly as his freckles shined a bit more , eyes so incredibly doelike . shiro was stunned , mouth agape again as matt blinked sweetly at him . " i would give you my address , but i'm too afriad of stalkers , so can i have your phone number and i'll text it to you , " he said , cotton candy and caramel softly dripping from his glowing presence .

" uhm . " shiro had no more meaning in life except this man , this man called matt was a absolute god - " okay so i've paid , bye bye , i can ask lance or pidge or hunk or whoever for your address , boo-boo , bye matt !! " keith broke the trance as he dragged shiro out , a bit sick and tired of the sexual tension that shiro could never act on .

matt just looked at keith , annoyed , as he slammed the table not so lightly , hand raised u pto point towards the door . " see yourself out , bi - " and just like that , shiro's first encounter with a absolute beauty .

-------------------------------------------------------

" listen man , you can't just go into ' i want to have your babies ' mode every time you see matt , and no i'm not inviting you over to come with me !! there's no way i'll live it down if my brother can't take a barely five foot tall boy flirting with him , " keith said , exhausted . shiro just did his thing , whimpering a bit and giving puppy eyes .

keith crossed his arms , turned around , and rethought his entire life . what led up to this ???

shiro darted to throw on a nasa sweatshiro and comfy dress pants that was dress pants but it had a elastic band like sweatpants . and that's why he has fourteen pairs , so he can cheat the system .

" yes keith , let's go , it's been three days and i cannot wait to see matt's lovely lovely face again , " he rambled a bit , shoving his feet into slip - " you're wearing dress pants ? " keith said incredulously , not expecting that . upon closer inspection - " oh . it's the ' cheat pants . ' you got me there , " he rolled his eyes , not as rushed as shiro was . so shiro slammed the door in keiths face .

-------------------------------------------------------

twenty minutes later , they had walked to the little house near the edge of the forest . it was so incredibly charming , but seemed so tiny .

at least , that's what shiro thought until he realized it was a mini mansion , a little spiral staircase up to the second and THIRD floor which wad actually a attic , shiro got that wrong . what the fuc - and oh my god , there was plants everywhere . and oh my god , it was adorable .

keith rapped on the door , a little cat knocker made with brass . about a minute later , pidge opened the door groggily , her low-hanging bangs effectively making her look eyeless and her hair ... ball . " go back . nine am . fuck off . " she closed the door in their faces and they heard her lock it before keith and shiro said anything .

" matt'll open it . " and matt did , albeit a bit too cheerful with a frying pan in his hand . " hello !! excuse my sis - " he threw the pan at her , pidge dodging for her life - then continued - " it's such a pleasure to have you here ! "

the frying pan flew back out into the cobblestone street , clanging noisily , but the impact did not make a single dent in it . keith and matt dodged it eaisly , the pan narrowly missing a still shiro . then the doge ran out to fetch it back .

matt pulled them in , " come back in , bae bae !! so here's the kitties , green is the - weirdly enough , for kitty standards - greenish one and black is the black one , obviously . " he pointed at them , black staring at shiro intensely as green just gave up and continued sleeping .

" so the hanging plants are poisonous for cats and so we put them in corners , and the ones all over are cat grass , " he explained , as he slapped pidge's arm and led them to the little kitchen counter just two metres left of the front door . " jam toast or scrambled eggs ? both ? okay good , " matt didn't stop for a single second , working fast as pidge fed baebae . keith just smirked at shiro's confused face , looking around . " that's a lot of ... succulents . " he blinked again , unsure if this was reality or not . " i trained them kitties and doggone not to eat 'em , " matt said calmly , sounded a bit tired and bored .

" oh . okay . " no , it was not okay , literally every shelf had at least one plant , and the kitchen counter had two whole watering cans that were made of tin and painted green and orange . and they were decently sized , too . what kind of greenhouse was this ???

pidge decided then to be playful , tapping shiro's right shoulder and making him look before disappearing and tapping his left , a evil grin on her face as he looked at her . " hewwo , " she snickered , before sitting at one of the barstools in front of shiro . " uh . hit pidgey pies , " he smiled . keith kissed the top of her head as she giggled , matt and shiro sighing simultaniously . " when will you admit that you're dating ? " matt snorted as he served up the absolutely stunning eggs and jam toast , knocking on the counter to call shiro and keith to sit their thicc asse - sorry wrong wording - to sit down on the bar stools next to pidge .

" soooo . what brings you to my ... godforsaken lair ? " matt asked fake quizzically , glancing at pidge whilst saying godforsaken .

" uhm . we - " " we're here to check my piercings and shiro forced me to bring him here , " keith said curtly , shiro sucking in air a bit too fast as matt cocked a eyebrow at him . " that's gay . " matt drawled . " it really is . i spent three days of pain listening to his disgusting fantasies , " keith said loudly , shiro choking on his eggs as pidge giggled . " damn . i always thought he was innocent , " matt laughed . " tell me , spill the tea - " " no such impurities were said , i just - y'know , i was just worried for his well-being and i don't want him to be out and about alone ! " shiro huffed , on the verge of whining about how annoying keith was .

keith just shrugged - " whatever you lie about , shiro . whatever you lie , " making matt laugh . and boy , was it music to shiro's ears . him gently tilting his head back and stretching his neck , adam's apple moving a bit . matt's voice was a bit more pitched and high than the average man , and that meant some seriously cute laughter and oh my god was shiro smitten , i can't believe i'm the appointed ' shiro's life ' narrator !!

shiro just looked down and blinked his eyes a bit , blushing at his eggs as he moved them around a bit . " i must say , your imaginations sre incredibly wild , " shiro stuffed eggs into his mouth as he happily sighed a bit . keith just rolled his eyes playfully and clapped his hands - " my baby , my boyfriend , we shall check the ear because i finished eating , " keith snorted , watching shiro's confusion spread accross his face . " uh . you guys were ... dating ? " shiro asked , trying to mask his sadness but it was visible to keith . keith just patted shiro's floof , smiling mischieviously - " no we aren't , just wanted to tease you a bit , big bro ! "

matt watched shiro and pidge eat happily , before asking pidge to do the dishes and leading them up the stairs to the , as matt dubbed , second floor which was much more like an attic . there was various instruments that shiro saw as he scanned his eyes around the space - a grand piano , guzheng [ chinese zither ] , a zither [ not chinese ] , a harp , a violin , a guitar , and a keyboard . the grand piano was in the top right corner , harp on the left with a little violet velvet ottoman . the guzheng , zither and keyboard were placed om the floor next to the harp neatly , violin smack dab in the centre . his bed was next to the grand piano that was placed diagonally , the guitar was propped up agaisnt the grand piano's shiny black leather bench . the closet took up the bottom right , and the piece de resistance - a sunroof lighting up the place , the wide windows at the back helping cast a gentle golden glow . but best of all , in matt's eyes , was a whole line of little plants lining his windowsill , and a few hanging ones in the corners of the room . the top of his closet was lined with them too , a stepladder for him to climb up to water them .

" there's plenty of room up here for me , " he smiles gently , leading them to a corner with a little pushcart filled with the usual piercing items . " i mean ... there's a lot of instruments - and why do you have a little piercing pushcart thingamajig ? " shiro asked quizzically , surprised he didn't blush in matt's presence . matt's smile turned sheepish , running his hand through his hair , " most of these are family heirlooms and i learnt how to play them . plus , i do my own piercings , and my sister's 'cause we have everything up here and - " suddenly , a hunge series of clangs and crashes went off . shiro blinked in shock and looked around quickly , and keith just continued crossing his arms and looking sullen - as always . matt thought for a second , then waved his hand dismissively . " i'll deal with that shit later , " matt told them as he motioned for keith to sit on the little ottoman next to the harp .

keith sat down , crossing his legs as matt worked his easy magic with skill . he quickly checked over his ear , using a thin q-tip to clean it out . " i'm not going to take out your piercing , or else your ear might just swell up even more , " he explained , shiro nodding and taking in everything matt said about piercing care . lastly , matt pulled out a little container filled with the thin q-tips - " it's for babies , but they work perfectly for cleaning . use it after you shower - that's the best . and remember to wash it thoroughly with the shower head to get all the dirt out , " he explained , doing a mini quiz to figure out if keith got it .

luckily , keith was actually paying attention for once in his life , shiro smiling proudly and congratulating keith on actually listening to a professional for once . he got playfully punched , matt snickering quietly as shiro laughed . " remember - drop by next week 'kay ? i'll check your ear then ! "

-------------------------------------------------------

the next week , allura and romelle had heard the buzzing from lotor , keith and pidge about shiro and matt - they were making a master plan at 12pm while everyone was at school or working , pidge and keith had played truant but were ready to get their ass whooped .

" listen man , they're oblivious ! " pidge threw up her arms exsparatedly , keith knocking his head gently on the table . allura punched the table , determined to make operation shatt work . " we need to make this plan completely foolproof and completely everything proof so it works ! " lotor cocked up an eyebrow - " isn't ... foolproof the same as everything proof ? " romelle snorted and ran her hand through allura's hair , " don't worry too much baby , we all know you're practically a high school dropout ! " keith rolled his eyes , pidge trying to contain her laughter as allura protested . " yadda yadda yadda , keep lying to yourself , baby girl , " lotor teased . " we all know you say you dropped out of uni , but deep down the allura pit you dropped out of highschool , " pidge continued to tease , making romelle and keith break out in laughter as allura playfully rolled her eyes . this was going to be a long operation indeed .

im just gonna tag this #cloudyhadachanceofwatering and #galteantattoosandpiercings + the usual because reblogging and typing is hard work lol

the galtean tattoos & piercings [ mostly for the brave ]

note - @princesss353 AGAIN !! YALL SHE A BLESSER AND SHES NOT A MESSER HER AUS ARE GODSPEED

preface - lotor is the owner of ' the galtean tattoos & piercings ' on a busy street next to ' the altean cafe stop ' . he and matt are bffs till the end and are pro wingman , efficiently wingman-ing romellura . so obviously , allura and romelle constantly advertise lotor's shop and lotor does the same back . it's a literal fight about whose shop is the best .

so when keith's piercing gets infected , it's a shiteshow .

-------------------------------------------------------

" shiro . shiro shiro . my piercing's like red and there's some pus thing and clear liquid coming out . help . how do i deal with this . "

" keith ... " shiro started , putting down his newspaper and sighing . " you've gotten a cartilage piercing but you ... oh gosh my good plant soil whatever have you done ???? " shiro stood up abruptly , promptly analyzing keith's ear . " see , i don't know how to answer that question but can we go and check my ear please ? " keith asked desperately , unhanding shiro from his ear and sucking in air as the pain hit him .

basically three whole seconds later , they were in front of a tattoo and piercing shop known for their menacing looks but kind hearts . shiro just stared up at the neon purple sign , the letters glowing in cursive as he sighed and followed keith in , the little door bell ringing softly .

the bell was muted softly as they entered the room , buzzing from tattoo clients and a soft piercing gun clicking down . shiro looked around , slightly confused as he had never really been into this shop , only keith had . he smiled a bit at the walls of polaroids of people who got piercings and tattoo , following keith slowly . he turned his attention back to keith , watching him talk to a short but somewhat muscular boy who was busy drawing out something and had stopped to talk to keith . shiro couldn't see much really , the boy - girl ? - had a big brown mess of fluffy wavy hair that was in a cute little bob , much like pidge's .

oh . so it's the legendary pidge ?

shiro timidly stood behind keith and overheard their sweet conversation , feeling slightly like a intruder . " so like ... yeah " " we'll ... try ... clean ... fixed ... time !! " " shiro's ... guardian ... change ... " wait , wait . pause . rewind . did shiro just - " what ?? so you're changing legal guardians ? " he blurted out , instantly realizing his mistake and got even more flustered .

pidge looked up and laughed a bit , then twirled her hair around her finger , tugging a bit . " so , if it isn't the infamous insufferably innocent boy , " pidge said in a low voice . wait . shiro felt a blush rising to high heavens going up his cheeks as he stared at the figure and zoned out , and curled up in his brain . the now called pidge imposter looked him up and down .

keith smirked , " it isn't pidge , it's her brother . matt . don't be so gay now , get over yourself for a second . " he teasing elbowed him , shiro coming back to earth . " o-oh uhm yikes hahahaahaaaaaa ... s-sooorrryy ?? " he drawled , looking at keith for help and seeing his little sly smile spread like butter accross his face .

the stout little boy just looked up to him and smiled defiantly , raising a eyebrow . " takashi shirogane , the infamous softie ! how adorable , are you here for a tattoo or a piercing ? " he teased , finally releasing his hair strand . shiro stared at the hair bouncing against the rest of the mess once , twice , physics isn't real .

" uuuhhhh ... " keith just dragged matt to a seat . " ignore him , he's just processing all of this madness , how's your industrial going ? " matt just laughed , " it's doing good , my boy . anyway , so i got triple helixes and - " keith just looked at him in feigned shock . " what ? i left for what - three months and now you're all decked out without me ?! " all the piercing terms flew over shiro's head as he sat next to keith , knowing he looked less confused than he actually was .

matt quickly whipped out his phone . " okay so like i'll take out your infected ear , it won't hurt too much , just chill and stalk my instagram a bit , " he joked , calming down keith as best as he could as he wore gloves and wiped down the area . shiro winced before keith did , feeling anxious as heck . " hey keith , it's okay , it's nothing much , others probably have it worser , " he squeezed his hand encouragingly , smiling to him . matt just glanced at him and grinned appreciatively , then made him look at his triple helixes at its full glory and then suddenly - the piercing was out and the pain was hitting . matt quickly wiped the area down and numbed it with some spray , patting keiths shoulder and hushing him soothingly , blowing his ear a bit to try and calm the pain even more .

shiro just freaked out .
