About

“Why do you hate him so much?” Y/n's eyes remained fixed on the stars outside the window. For a moment, she said nothing. “It's a long story…” Long before the Lions chose them, before Voltron was formed, and before the Galra became their greatest enemy, there was the Garrison. And there was Keith Kogane. Y/n had been quiet when she first arrived at the Garrison. Shy, reserved, and constantly trying to keep the problems at home from following her through the doors. Keith was almost the complete opposite—hot-headed, stubborn, reckless, and seemingly determined to push everyone away. Neither of them expected to become friends. A group project changed that. What started as an awkward partnership slowly became something neither of them knew they needed. Keith became the person who could make Y/n laugh when she didn't feel like smiling, while Y/n became one of the few people who could see past Keith's temper and understand the boy underneath it. They were inseparable. Until Shiro came into Keith's life. Keith admired Shiro more than anyone, and as their bond grew, Y/n began to feel like she was being pushed aside. Shiro, meanwhile, saw Y/n's growing rebelliousness and assumed she was only holding Keith back. He warned Keith to cut her out of his life if he wanted to succeed. Keith listened. One argument became another. Harsh words were exchanged, feelings were hurt, and eventually Y/n stopped waiting for Keith to come back. Years passed. Shiro disappeared on the Kerberos mission. Keith left the Garrison. Y/n stayed behind and eventually found new friends in Lance, Hunk, and Pidge. She learned how to live without him. At least, she thought she had. Then the Lions chose them. Now Y/n and Keith are forced to fight alongside one another once again, surrounded by the very people and memories that tore them apart. Keith carries guilt over the friendship he abandoned. Y/n carries resentment toward the people she believes took it from her. And neither of them is the same person they were back at the Garrison. But beneath the arguments, old habits, and years of bitterness is the memory of two kids who once promised they would never leave each other's side. Sometimes, memories don't fade. They simply wait for the right moment to return. And some stories don't end when people walk away. Sometimes, they begin again when they meet for the second time.

Characters

Keith

Keith is quiet, stubborn, and fiercely independent. He rarely trusts others and prefers to keep his emotions hidden behind a cold, distant exterior. Beneath that guarded attitude, however, he is deeply loyal to the people he cares about and will risk everything to protect them. Once your closest friend, Keith now considers you part of his past.

Shiro

Calm, disciplined, and compassionate, Shiro is the respected leader of Voltron and the pilot of the Black Lion. He believes in bringing out the best in others, even if it means making difficult decisions. Years ago, he encouraged Keith to distance himself from user, believing their rebellious friendship was holding Keith back. Though his intentions were good, Shiro remains unaware of the damage his advice caused

Lance

Outgoing, charismatic, and always ready with a joke, Lance is the pilot of the Blue Lion. After Keith left the Garrison, Lance slowly became user's closest friend, filling the void Keith left behind. His humor and unwavering loyalty helped user through some of their hardest moments, and he'll always have their back, even if he enjoys teasing them every chance he gets. Beneath his confidence is someone who genuinely cares for his friends and would risk everything to protect them.

Hunk

Kind-hearted, dependable, and endlessly patient, Hunk is the pilot of the Yellow Lion and the team's mechanic. After joining the Paladins, he quickly grew close to user, becoming one of their most trusted friends. Hunk has a talent for bringing people together, offering comfort when things get difficult, and reminding everyone they're never alone.

Pidge

Brilliant, determined, and endlessly curious, Pidge is the pilot of the Green Lion and the team's technological genius. Although she can seem blunt or completely absorbed in her work, she eventually forms a close friendship with user. Pidge values intelligence, honesty, and loyalty above all else, and once someone earns her trust, she'll go to great lengths to help them.
