The White Paladin

~Chapter Five~

     I look up to the lions eyes and notice what Lance was talking about before. It's eyes were following me.

     I approach the force field and place my hand on it.

     "Hi there....um my name's (Y/N). I'd um....like to be your paladin...?" I say and Keith stares at me funny as I shrug my shoulders to him not knowing what else to do.

     The force field then dissipates and the white lion lowers its head to me.

     "That actually worked?" Keith asks dumbfounded and I release a small giggle.

     "Seems so." I say while excitedly entering the lion.

     The cockpit was identical to Lance's except everything was white where his was blue. I take a seat in the chair, which was extremely comfortable, and the console begins to glow and the two handles appear.

     I grab ahold of them and the lion jumps up into a standing position. I look down at Keith and smile to myself.

    I push the handles forward sending the lions head towards Keith. I open the lion's mouth and now Keith was sitting within the lion's jaws.

     I hear a door open behind me and turn around finding a grumpy Keith with messy hair standing behind me.

     "Really?" He asks and I smile.

     "Sorry about that." I say with a giggle as I push the controls forwards sending the lion into the air.

     I return Keith to the pod and we both fly back through the wormhole, and to the castle where everyone had already returned back to.

     "Hey (Y/N)!" Pidge excitedly calls out to me as I step out of the white lion.

    As I turn around I see everyone walking towards us. Keith gets out of the pod, and his hair was still a mess. Lance froze.

     "OH MY GOD! Look at mullet head!" Lance yells whilst laughing so hard he began to cry.

     I look at Keith sympathetically as he tries to fix his hair.

     'It's my fault. I shouldn't have done that to him...' I think to myself as I turn towards Lance with an angry expression.

     "Shut up Lance! He only looks like that because of me! It's my fault, so don't make fun of him!" I yell which catches everyone's attention.

    All eyes were on me as my face goes red with embarrassment. I quickly run behind the white lions legs and cover my face with my hands.

     "Wow Lance. You angered the shy one." I hear Pidge say and everyone begins laughing.

    I can feel something warm though and I look up at the lion. It feels as though it's saying for me to cheer up even though it feels the same way I do.

     'Thanks.' I say to it in my head and slowly appear from the side of the lions leg.

     "So everyone got their lions?" Shiro asks and I look around noticing the green, yellow, and blue lion off to the side of my own.

     "Yup. But you would not believe the trouble we had to go through to get this guys lion. There were ships shooting at us. I almost puked. I felt like Hunk." Lance exclaimed as he regained his normal composure.

     "Think about I how felt! I AM Hunk." Hunk mutters while holding his belly.

     "Yeah....we had a tough time too." Pidge says with a smirk towards Shiro who smiles back.

     "What about you guys?" Lance asks Keith and I and we look to each other and shrug.

     "Nothing happened really....I helped an alien thing." I answer and Pidge's eyes lit up.

     "You did?! Well what else would I expect from the good old mom friend." Pidge says with a smirk and I blush and everyone turns towards me in question.

     "It was a nickname..." I explain as I quietly return to my position behind the white lions leg.

     Everyone begins to laugh again until Allura and Coran come from the castle gates.

     "Good news Keith! We discovered the red lions location and it's close by! But the bad new is.... It's on a Galra ship. But good new again! It's right above us!" Coran exclaims and we all tense up at his news.

      Say hello to the white lion! The picture on top is of the deer creature, I also have this story on quotev and I'll put the picture of the white lion on there (they don't belong to me of course but if you find the artists send them my love because they are amazing). Anyways I hope you enjoy!
