Prologue

With him staring you down and the thickening silence in the small corridor, you felt as if you were choking under the pressure. He was hesitating. You didn't know whether you should speak up and demand a response or lighten the mood with a joke. It took you a lot to gather up the courage to even bring him in a secluded area away from the rest of Voltron since the last time you had such bravery was during better times. So you were very proud of yourself when you had managed to convince yourself to place yourself in such a vulnerable state again.
