Space boy

'Kevin' 'Kevin?' 'Kevin'

"Cool, I have a sister now. Yay". The end of the sentence was extremely sarcastic.

Y/N buried her head in her arms before sighing deeply. She was cooing with the shocking information rather well but at the same time, it was out of the blue and the events that had led up to this were purely coincidental.

As well as this, the altean felt lonely.

E/C eyes looked down into the rocky floor, plagued with a little sadness and yearning for reassurance. It was bad enough that she'd already pissed off Corintha, now she had no one to talk to.

" I wonder what Keith is doing ". Y/N said quietly, her seeming soft thought was said aloud and echoed around the cave.

Come to think of it, the thought of the red paladin bounced around her head before settling prominently.

A low chuckle left her lips "probably blown up at Allura by now". Imagining Allura cowering in fear after all of the fuckery she'd pulled was funny.

But it wasn't funny enough to remove the fact that Corintha had told her that they were sisters. And that Y/N was gifted with the 'wonderful' responsibility of taking care of an extremely powerful and dangerous crystal.

Yay.

With the shiny stone clenched in her palm, Y/N lay flat on her back before marvelling at the gem, its deep purple light contrasted with the azure blue light, creating a stunning sparkle. Somehow, the dazzling glow reminded Y/N of Keith's eyes, the way they danced with an unquenchable fire whilst drenched with passion was rather captivating.

Plus, they were pretty.

A despondent gaze filled Y/N's eyes once again at the memory of her best friend. If only she could have evaded Haggar then maybe the two would have been together.

Well, not together.

In a matter of minutes, Y/N's eyelids grew heavy with each passing minute, already confused emotions slurred and drunken with sleep. So naturally, the altean succumbed to the gentle lull of an anxious slumber.

Besides, Y/N would be safe. Right?

Wrong.

                        *Y/N WAKES UP*

Y/N mumbled at the voice calling her name. With a yawn, her fingers brushed against a warm, slimy, furry carpet.

But, carpets aren't slimy, and they're not usually warm.

In an instant, the alteans eyes snapped open before staring at a horrendous sight, almost screeching at the top of her lungs "What the fuck- AAH!" In front of Y/N, a rat-like creature began to hiss and spit at her.

Its teeth practically dug at the ground, rotten and browning. Earthy brown fur was matted and tangled with all sorts of debris whilst its eyes were a malicious vermillion.

"Don't move an inch".

Corintha's voice was low, her hologram had its brightness turned down a notch (most likely to decrease the risk of getting her metal gnawed at).

A short his left the abnormally large creature. Lime green foam bubbled at its lips before dripping onto the soft ground.

So you can imagine Y/N's surprise when she found out that the ground began to bubble due to the foam.

Shit.

Y/N tightened her grip on the crystal before murmuring to the older woman. "You said that quintessence was a life force, so maybe I can suck the life out of this...whatever it is".
