Hello, everybody! I want to say that I am an awful person for making you guys wait so long and I am SOOOO sorry for all of this. I just got kind of out of it, you know? XD. I just wasn't in the mood to write fanfiction for like. Ever XDXD. Anyway, I'm back now, and you can expect wayyyy for updates (as long as finals don't get in the way :((. Nevertheless, this chapter was requested by CatBludger3903. I hope this meets your expectations! :))

Disclaimer: I don't own Voltron if I did Allurance wouldn't have happened :)

Pidge is fourteen, Hunk and Lance are sixteen, Keith is seventeen, and Shiro is nineteen

"You're going on a WHAT?" Shiro's roar would be heard throughout the castle, echoing off of every smooth surface and wall.

"It's just a date, you idiot." Pidge snapped back, rolling her eyes in the process. "It's fine. You do it all the time."

"It is not JUST a date young lady!" Shiro replied, grabbing Pidge by the shoulders and spinning her around on her heel so she was facing him. "It's A Date. With A boy."

"Yeah, and your point is?" Pidge roughly shrugged Shiro off and went back to curling the ends of her shoulder-length hair. It had taken FOREVER to get it to grow out even that long, and Pidge planned to keep it that way. "Keith goes on them all the time with whats-her-face."

"That's different."

"How?!"

"Because Keith's a guy!" Shiro exclaimed, flopping back onto Pidge's bed. "It's DIFFERENT with guys."

"How." Shiro raised his head slightly from the bed to see Pidge standing above him, arms crossed and practically staring into his soul. "How is it different Shiro." Shiro didn't answer. Not a wise decision. "SHIRO!" Pidge slammed her hand on the dresser beside her and glared ferociously at her older brother. "ANSWER THE QUESTION?"

"Look, it's just different with you, ok?" Shiro flopped his head back down on the bed, suddenly finding the ceiling very interesting. "You're...a kid."

"And not a guy, because apparently, that matters so much to you." Pidge crossed her arms tightly.

"Pidge, that's not what I meant..."

"Oh, it's damn well what you meant." Pidge scoffed, throwing an exasperated look over her shoulder before turning back to Shiro. "I'm a girl, so I'm the victim, is that it? The big bad guy is going to toss me around and throw me away like I'm some toy?"

"Pidge-"

"No, and let me guess. It's different for Keith because he would be the one doing the tossing, right? He's not a pathetic, defenseless girl like I am, is that it? He wouldn't get tossed around." All was silent save for Pidge's labored breathing. "WELL?" She questioned, throwing her hands up in the air. "AM I RIGHT?"

"Hey, what's going on in here?" Lance's head popped out from the doorframe, his shaggy bangs falling over his eyes.

"Nothing!"

"Pidge has a date."

"SHIRO!" Pidge whirled around on her brother. "YOU ABSOLUTE ASS!"

Shiro merely shrugged in response. "I think your other OLDER brothers should get involved and share their thoughts on the situation, right? I mean it's only fair if it's JUST a date."

If looks could kill, everyone within a mile of Pidge would be dead in an instant. A fire fuel by hatred in blazed inside of her, and it took everything she had not to strangle Shiro right where he lay. She said nothing, resisting the urge to break several things. Instead, she turned toward the doorway, where the mischevious grin Lance usually wore had been replaced with one of uncertainty. "HEY GUYS! GET IN PIDGE'S ROOM NOW! IT'S IMPORTANT!"

All was silent for a few moments before the faint sound of shoes pattered their way toward the young girl's room. Hunk arrived in Pidge's room first, his apron stained with chocolate and flour as usual.

"What's up?" He asked, taking in the atmosphere of the room. "Oh...not good then."

"How observant of you," Pidge replied through clenched teeth. Her fingernails dug into the palms of her hands, breaking the skin and causing drops of blood to come trickling through her clenched fingers and onto the piles of endless science magazines and thrashed experiments.

Keith strolled into the room casually as ever, before taking in the sight of his little sister standing before him. "What's up?" He asked calmly, observing Shiro flopped on the bed and Pidge's look of blatant hatred. Keith had learned that when his siblings fought, it was best to stay neutral. He could never really find a reason to stay mad at someone for long, though there were few exceptions, one of them being Lance himself. His endless pranks tended to cause Keith to go nuts from time to time, but in the end, he always had to forgive him one way or another.

"What is UP is that Pidge has a date tonight," Shiro replied monotonously from his position on the bed, reluctantly lifting his neck so he could get a few of all his siblings standing at the doorway. "And she thinks it's no big deal."

"WHAT?" Keith's calm demeanor fell away in an instant. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

Lance snorted, positioning himself so he could lean on the door frame with one leg back. "I know. And she didn't even tell us." He curled his lips down in a mock pout and fluttered his eyelashes at Pidge. "I'm offended."

"Shut up, you idiot." Pidge snapped, redirecting her glare from Shiro to Lance. "I thought you were gay until about a year ago. What does that say about your relationship status?"

"That no matter the gender everyone thinks I'm hot," Lance replied with a smirk, licking his fingers and smooth his eyebrows in one dramatic gesture. "Obviously."

"EXCUSE ME, CAN WE GET BACK ON TRACK HERE?!" Keith cried, waving his hands in front of everyone's faces. "Pidge has a DATE?!"

Shiro extended a hand toward Keith and propped himself up so that his back was to the wall and he was facing his siblings. "See, that's what I said. And what did she do? She got mad at me!"

Pidge whirled around at Shiro. "You stay out of this. You've said your part. And you," She twirled on her heel back to her three remaining brothers, pointing furiously at all of them. "Just...stop."

Hunk cautiously extended his hand out to touch Pidge's shoulder. "Pidge, we can't just stop."

Pidge slapped Hunk's hand out of the way. "Why." Her response was bitter and hard. She unclenched her fists and wiped her hands on her thighs, leaving a tiny trail of red in their wake. "Why can't you stop."

There was silence for a moment before Keith stepped forward and gently grabbed her elbow and carefully guided her to her bed. The other brothers followed, and Shiro, getting the message, scooted over as to make room for all his siblings. Keith gently sat Pidge down on the bed, all the while death rays coming out of her eyes and silently beaming into him. As everyone squeezed into Pidge's small bed, the tension in the air relaxed a little. When they were little, "sleepovers" were a common occurrence. Of course, that was ages ago, and it was much easier to fit five people in a bed then.

"So?" Pidge whispered. "Why are you guys so weird about this?"

"It's because you're our baby sister, Pidge," Lance answered, looking at his other brothers for confirmation. When he saw that they all felt the same way, he continued. "And we're your older brothers."

"We feel the need to protect you." Hunk chimed in.

"I don't need protection," Pidge whispered gruffly, crossed her arms and slumping against her brothers.

"You might not, but your innocence does." Pidge lifted her gaze to Keith, who had decided to add to the conversation. "And your sweetness, your smile, your happiness, your carefreeness, and your sparkle. Your growing up. We know that. That doesn't mean we have to like it, but we know that."

Shiro shifted his body a bit so he could face his sister. "We don't want some boy stealing that all away from you. We don't want him stealing away all of the things we love about you."

"Guys..." Pidge started, but Lance held up one finger. "Pidge, you're our baby sister, and that's never going to change. Not ever. Unless mom has another baby, which, you know, that would be weird, and this entire speech we're making wouldn't make any sense at all, but come to think of it I think she's too old now anyway..."

"Lance." Shiro rolled his eyes before gesturing for his brother to continue.

"Right. Sorry." Lance cleared his throat. "The point is, we love you more than anything, and we would do anything for you, anything to protect you."

"We don't want that smile wiped off your face for one instant by ANYONE." Hunk continued.

"Anyone but us, that is," Keith added, offering one of his rare, warm smiles.

"Guys-" Pidge wiped an unseen tear from her eye, practically drowning in love from her big brothers. A smile reluctantly broke out on her now flushed face, causing every one of her brothers to grin as well. They had one job, one unspoken agreement. Keep Pidge safe. And they knew that they had done that job pretty damn well.

The doorbell rang a few moments after the siblings finally disbanded from Pidge's bed.

"Crap! He's here early!" Pidge rushed to the bathroom, much to the amusement of her older brothers, and slammed the door shut. "Shiro, can you tell Philip that I'm getting ready?"

"Philip? That's a stupid name." Lance muttered, before being elbowed in the ribcage by Keith.

"Sure thing Pidge!" Shiro replied. The sound of the shower being turned on was his only response. There was a beat of silence before Shiro opened his mouth to ask another question. "You don't mind if we...get to know him a bit, do you?"

No response, only the water hitting the bathroom floor. "I didn't hear a no." Hunk said, already heading toward the front entrance to the castle to greet Pidge's date. The rest of the brothers followed, hoping to get their work done before their little sister emerged from the shower.

All of the brothers gathered around the massive entrance to their home. Nodded to each other in silent agreement, they slowly swung the door open. There, on the doorstep stood a by about Pidge's age in a tux with fluffy blonde hair parted down the middle, blue eyes (which at the moment, were full of confusion as to why four boys were greeting him rather than his date) pale skin, and glasses with circular frames that were almost identical to Pidge's perched on his perfect nose. So he looked good enough for Pidge. But did he act good enough?

"Um, hi." He stuttered, eyes darting nervously between the four boys. "Is, um, is Pidge here?"

"Yeah, um hi." Shiro stuck out his hand. "You're Philip, I presume?"

"Y-yeah." He answered, tentatively shaking Shiro's hand.

"Pidge's getting ready." Lance chimed in, popping out from behind his older brother. "She'll be down in a minute."

"Before then, let's lay down a few grown rules, shall we?" Keith offered a cold smile, no teeth.

"Um, ok." Philip stepped through the threshold and into the castle. The four boys led him into the main seating room, where they each took a position beside him. "May I ask who you guys are?" Philip asked carefully. Understandably, he wasn't very comfortable around four tall, athletic men whom he had just met.

"We're Pidge's older brothers." Hunk answered. All of his teddybear-ness had disappeared. Now, he had a calculating look on his face, his eyes scanning over every part of Philip from head to toe.

"Oh. O-ok." Philip muttered. "She didn't tell me she had any brothers."

"Yeah, I would expect not," Keith replied, crossing his arms and leaning back on the couch. "Now listen, Philip, we're going to get right down to it."

"Down to what?" Philip asked, pushing his glasses up with his pointed finger.

Lance motioned zipping his lips. "Just listen, kid."

"Ok," Philip muttered, wishing he could disappear in the couch cushions. Pidge's older brothers were scary.

"First things first," Keith twisted his neck around so he could look at Philip. "You ever do ANYTHING to Pidge that hurts her, you die."

"You ever made her sad; you ever make her cry, you better run and hope we don't find you," Hunk added.

"Touch her anywhere or do anything to make her uncomfortable, you'll wish you were dead." Lance chimed in.

"And most of all," Shiro folded his hands and brought them up to his face so he could rest his chin on them. "Pidge is our baby sister. If we need to destroy you to protect her, we will do it. You break her heart? We break you."

"Shiro!" All heads turned toward the source of the voice, and all jaws dropped. There stood Pidge, her hair in a messy but elegant top knot and eyes framed with mascara. A skin-tight green dress clung to her hips as she glided effortlessly into the room.

"You look..." Lance started.

"Beautiful," Philip muttered. The young boy's cheeks grew bright red, clearly noticeable with his pale complexion.

Pidge smirked her trademark smirk, making Philip's eyes grow even more comprehensive. "You don't look too bad your self. You ready to go?"

Philip, quickly trying to regain his composure, nodded absently before betting up from his spot on the couch between the brothers. "Let's get going."

Pidge smiled brightly, grabbing Philips hand and shooting a quick wink over her shoulder at her brothers before walking gracefully out the door with Philip right on her heels.

"If he ever takes that smile away..." Lance started. Keith put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"We know, buddy." The four brothers gazed at their baby sister, the moonlight splashing over her and Philip like a bucket of water. "We know all too well."
