Candy Melt
Keith sighed as layed down on the couch of the rec room. Completely pleasured by the silence. Not a sound came from the rec room, nor outside of the peacefully room. No servnets, no nanny, no alarms, and no other members of the voltron team. Everything at peace within it's self, hell even mice could not be heard.
Sighing once more Keith closed his eyes and slowly started to drift off to sleep when a faint sound resached his ears...
"CRUNCH"
"CRUNCH"
Snapping open his eyes Keith was quickly alarted to some one new that had entered his peace. Scanning the room Keith found him self stareing at the youngest member of his team. "The youngest?" snort "since when?" Pidge had long since turned the legal age. Keith shooked his head that was nothing to review now. Keith say upright and ran his fingers through his hair. Gruding soft as he did so, damn it when did it get so long?
"Since you let it grow it out."
Snapping Keith didn't even bother to look at Pidge
"I have told you NOT to do that."
A whisper
"Gosh Cap't sorry to piss ya off."
Keith wanted to say something to that but his mind drew a blank on a proper reply. Instead his mind when back to when they had found out about Pidge's little secret talant. Quickly a blush made it's way up Keith's neck. Some how Sven and Lance had been 'checking the other out' and Pidge was only sixteen at that the time and nearly choked on the piece of fired chicken he had been chewing. It had taken the hours to get the boy to explain what had caused the near fatel cut off of air.
It had taken time to get use to Pidge's new mind reeding talant. even now after Sven and Lance appeared out of thin air, which was after Keith spented hours looking them. they wouldn't, or couldn't face young man. Hunk seemed the only untouched by these now 'odd' moments within the team. Keith had thought about talking to the biggeer man about his lack of interset in the matter. But time had not allowed him to do so yet, but still..
"CRUNCH"
"CRUNCH"
Keith didn't even bother to look up to see what Pidge had found to annoy him so much. Instead he sighed and tried to lay back down. But it was soon evdince that what ever had got Pidge internet was keeping it like so.And so without thinking Keith snapped
"Just what are you doing?"
A pause
"Eating, want some?"
Keith frown as he sat back up and looked at Pidge for the first time since he had entered the rec room.
"What, may I ask, are you eating?"
Sallowing hard
"Candy, want one?"
"Candy? What kind of candy?"
"I don't know but it's good. Try one?"
"Where did they come from?"
"Gosh Keith it's just candy, nanny had some imported from Earth a couple of days ago. Now do you want one or not?"
Pausing
"What are they made out of?"
"Something called chocolate. But there are different colored one's, see look at this there's a green one."
Keith frown as Pidge held a couple of little, green, round candies. Keith took a finger and poked at the rounded candy. It was hard on the out side, like a shell of some kind? He picked up the candy examined the shell more closly. But suddenly he felt something wet within his hand that held the object. Looking at his hand he noticed a little, green spot on his palm. Droping the candy Keith looked at the spot on his hand as if was some kind of black magic?
"Keith you were suppose to eat it BEFORE it melt's."
"Melt's? Pidge what ARE those things? Why are there different color's? Why do they melt?"
"Damn Keith you ain't suppose go crazy over little, sweet candies. And your the first person I had seen that wanted to question it like was a spy or something."
"But...."
"Keith I will ask you one MORE time would you like one of my candies?"
"Well..."
"I will even give you a brown one, special just for you."
Warning all complete brain function shutting down...
Questions unanswered...
Requesting back-up power...
Request denied...
Shut down starting in 5 seconds
Keith stared at the harmless, little, brown candy. Trying to undo the damage the sweet had done. Yet Keith found no comfort in anything around him, anything but the candy that is. Suddenly he reach out to take Pidge's candy but somewhere a warning singal went off in his head, warning him that this candy was indeed magical and deadly.
Then there was only blackness for the questioning captain
Pidge stared at Keith in shock, not able to believe what his eyes were seeing? Keith had not just passed out because of a candy? No that could not be it. Impossible. But then why else?
"Hey what happened to Keith?"
Pidge could only whisper to Lance
"He melted."
