Matthew Holt Seeks Answers

Bamf!

Hunger. Scent of food. Not best food. Good food. Cosmo gets best food from Large Nervous-Happy of the Keith-Pack. Alpha Female of Keith-Pack also made good food. On the biggest smell ever, long time away, Cosmo and Keith both fed by Alpha Female. Alpha Female gave good pats and tickles. Gave Love. Called Cosmo Good Boy. Large Nervous-Happy still make best food. Let Cosmo take food. Trust Cosmo. Large Nervous-Happy nice. Large Nervous-Happy busy with not-food. Large Nervous-Happy extra happy. Cosmo sniffs. Yes. Large Nervous-Happy is busy with mate, Grey And Smiles Soft Pats. Staring at sky, tickle-pat-rub-parts together, Large Nervous Happy and Grey And Smiles Soft Pats smell happiest together. They share food. Mouth and mouth close.

BAMF! Cosmo goes somewhere else.

One Eye Head Pat sits and noises with other long talls. One Eyed Head Pat looks away from food. Cosmo lips licked. One Eye Head Pat friendly to Cosmo. Cosmo looks. Checks. Cosmo takes the hot meat. Smells good. Tastes better! Cosmo’s hot meat now! One Eye Head Pat makes the happy HA! Noises.

BAMF! Cosmo goes somewhere else.

High place. Air smell good. Cosmo eat the hot meat, tearing. Someone comes closer. Cosmo looks. Smells friend. Orange Face Fuzz of Keith-Pack, reaches and pats. Tickle-rubs head. Makes noises. “Mmamamamamaa Cosmo! amamAMAmmma!” Happy smelling Orange Face Fuzz. Bad smell too. Sad smell. “Mmememeeaa...” Soft noises, sad noises, “Mmmmmnnm, mnmman...” Looking to Love Smell Small One of Keith Pack. Love Smell Small One likes Cosmo. Gives many cuddles. Lets lick. Good pack mate. Still Love Smell, but sad smell too. Orange Face Fuzz goes. Cosmo snaps down hot meat. Cosmo sniffs. Bad Smell. Smell Sad. Cosmo Sad. Cosmo go closer, nuzzles Love Smell Small One. Love Smell Small One so sad. Whining Cosmo nuzzles. Cosmo give soft licks.

“Mmllmm Cosmo...” Love Smell Small One eyes leak. Cosmo licks away. “Maml! Mmmp!! Cosmo!!” Smell Happy! Smell sad again... Cosmo stop. “Mmmm... Nnn mmmnlll...” Love Smell Small One breathes out hard, “Mmmnnll llll... Hhh... love mmmn... Hhh love mmmn...”

Cosmo think. Sad. Love. Need closest pack? Need closest pack. Nuzzles Love Smell Small One, sniffs. Sniffs harder.

BAMF! Cosmo goes somewhere else. Cosmo sniffs. Same litter near. Long Scruffy Tall One, not Keith-Pack, same litter Love Smell Small One. Looks, goes back and away with high noise. “Cosmo!! Nmmnlll!! Nammmall...” Cosmo nuzzle, push to tickle-pat-rub-parts. Long Scruffy Tall One tickles ears. Nice Long Scruffy Tall One!

Love Smell Small One cuddles. Sad. Both sad... Cosmo sad... Cosmo bad... Love Smell Small One looks. Sunshine coloured eyes. Still sad, “Good Boy, Cosmo...” Curly mouth thing, not a growl.

Love Smell Small One, Long Scruffy Tall One make many noises. Cosmo cuddles. Cosmo sleepy.

Can I Have a Word...?

Last night was a kick in the teeth, that much was for sure. Suddenly finding yourself teleported, yeah that was strange. Also something he and Dad and Katie would have to study in great detail at some point. Not just the fact it was possible but possible as an innate ability of a creature!? His mind was already struggling with the implications...or... Or it would have been. The real problem was finding his sister, curled up into herself in the cold night air. Tear streaked face clutching at his heart. The Universe was in such a mess since they’d disappeared, it only made sense it would get to her. But, that was only part of it he soon learned. The other part, seemingly more potent and frustrating than she’d let it get before, all fell at the feet of a single paladin. Maybe two, strictly speaking.

Though, given everything Katie had explained it made no sense. The three year gap was an effect of time dilation. On the journey home, which proved far shorter than anyone had predicted, they seemed distant from one another. At least, that’s how it looked from the outside looking in. Maybe there was something going on secretly she had no clue about...? That was her theory. She had a lot of theories about it. When she had explained the shared dream, a game show hosted by an all powerful being... Called Bob of all things... It sounded like the edge of insanity. He knew her better than she realised. He paid attention. And that was eye opening. He had risked his life to defend her. When the seating arrangements for the lions had been arranged, he gave her the longest time alone and in peace... She had even heard him explaining his Bayard’s higher functions, the ones she had explained to him. Their game nights. Their shared moments of home sickness and mutual comfort... It all seemed, impossibly, to be coming to that point she had dreamed of... And that was when Matt realised as she’d explained between growls of frustration and desperate tears... Katie was desperately in love with an idiot. He asked as much and she confirmed, “Yeah...” She’d whispered, almost shamefully, “I love him...”

She had seen something though. Something that perhaps had happened more than she was willing to admit. More than she’d been willing to see. A moment between them that perhaps should have been private. Come back safe... They had both said. It was unmistakable. Even Veronica could see it, that it was mutual. That it was, in short, love... So the McClain sister had said. Loudly. Repeatedly. Yet always out of earshot of The Princess and her Admirer.

He couldn’t speak for Allura and couldn’t presume to know how she was feeling or thinking. All he did know was that at one point, by his own observation, Allura had not been remotely interested in Lance romantically. Lance had been jealous, protective...almost viciously so, just when he and Allura had first met. Sure, that Matt back then had been super extra about meeting a pretty princess and he’d grown since then... But Lance’s reaction of naked hatred... That wasn’t healthy...

According to Katie, Allura and Emperor Lotor were practically picking out the wedding cake... Or at least, figuring out the political viability of such an alliance... So, from their perspective, a few weeks, a month or two at most had passed... He couldn’t imagine moving on from the love of your life to your not-so-secret persistent admirer in such a short space of time. That was before factoring in the additional trauma of turns out he was feeding on the souls of Altean Children. How could someone get over that...? Especially so soon...? Maybe it was an Altean thing...? Allura was an unknown variable...

But Katie wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t prone to misreading a situation. If she was thinking, hoping, noticing something growing between her and Lance... Then it wasn’t for nothing. It wasn’t based on nothing. She would have painfully analysed, observed, collated data. She would have found ways to account for her own bias and the observer effect. Her mind was incredible even by Holt standards. The only way she could be getting this impression was if Lance was making her think it was legitimate.

So, Matt was resolved. He wasn’t about to intervene and change the idiot’s mind. He’d been persistent, nice and supportive at all the right times and it seems it had paid off. Maybe the two of them would be happy, maybe not. Honestly he didn’t care one way or the other. What he cared about was Katie. Katie, incredible and strong willed Katie, who only wanted time to move on... She couldn’t and shouldn’t be forced to deal with any more confusion. The elder Holt sibling laid a heavy hand upon the young man’s shoulder, pulling him away firmly from the repairs he had been conducting on a Garrison Land Vehicle. Matt was frankly surprised he knew what he was doing. Lance met his eyes with confusion at first then a small smile. Matt responded with a command, phrased as a question. “Can I have a word...?” His tone tomb cold. “Sure!” The oblivious kid smirked back, carelessly hurling a tool back into a box, “What’s up? You and your Dad and Pidge giving the Lions an upgrade? You founf a way we can combine with the Atlas...?”

“No Lance. That’s not exactly as high a priority as saving the rest of the population...” Matt sighed, walking the two of them further from prying eyes and curious ears. “I only want to say this once. Don’t hurt my sister.”

Lance’s expression was one of utter confusion, “Say wha...?” He frowned, “Hurt Pidge...? She’s like my best friend, there’s no way I’d hurt her...”

“Best friend, right...?” Matt’s grip on Lance’s shoulder tightened, “And you’ve never...implied she might be anything else to you...?” Realisation flared in the young man’s eyes, “Woah! Woah! I’ve never flirted with Pidge dude, that’d be weird! Didn’t I just say? My best friend!” Lance pulled away from Matt’s grasp, “I’m not about to risk that by flirting with her! I mean, c’mon, she’s Pidge! She’s smart and awesome and unstoppable and she deserves way better than this goofball... So no, you can relax... I don’t want to lose my best friend by being me... Honestly Matt, I’d sooner hurt myself than see her hurt... So there’s no way I’d want to hurt her...” His gaze feel away from Matt’s, “Can I... Can I get back to what I was doing...?”

Matt nodded silently as Lance, bewildered and seemingly hurt, wandered away. Guess it wasn’t going to be so simple after all. “That idiot...” Matt seethed, “He doesn’t even realise does he...?” Kicking the dust of the desert hard against armoured boot, Matt rolled his eyes, “He doesn’t even realise he loves her...”
