I smiled as I chose a bathing suit from an alien mall we were visiting. They actually had a beach on there, so we decided to go swimsuit shopping to find some of the water-proof clothing. I chose a navy blue swimsuit, with a white lining.

I gave my thanks to the cashier and ran off to join the other paladins. I saw Shiro in a tank top and I almost bled to death. Why cruel world, why? I sat in the back of a small space vehicle that looked like a dune jeep. It drove us to the pristine shores of the beach. We got off and parked the "car." Pidge and I went first into the changing room first, since we were both girls. Next, Shiro, Lance, Keith, and Hunk went in and changed. (Bottom Picture is what the paladins look like in their beach wear.)

I almost snorted when Lance pranced out in a swimming-thong.

"I told you NOT to buy that one, Lance," Keith groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose, "You had to not listen."

"Well, I'm sorry, you're just jealous because blue isn't your color!" Lance snapped back. I giggled as the two boys fought over their swimming suits.

"Let's just go," Pidge said, motioning towards the water. I smiled and ran to the clear, aqua ocean. I got in, and my body felt 100 times lighter.

"Woah!" I exclaimed, floating on the clear water, "It's like the Dead Sea here! There are such high levels of salt concentration, it's amazing!"

"No, it's even more concentrated with salt... I don't even think this is possible on Earth!" Pidge said, eyes glittering with wonder. I giggled and stood up, almost losing my balance from the floating feeling.

"Hey, (Y/N), want to play a game of chicken?" Lance said, scooping Pidge out of the water. She cackled. I blushed.

"I-I don't have anyone t- WOAH!" I yelped, seeing the world from a taller height. I looked at the person who was in between my legs (omigod sorry I can see the lenny faces already).

"Sh-Shiro!" I stuttered, recognizing the tuft of white hair almost immediately.

"Who else?" he chuckled, "We gotta win this thing." My flustered state turned into a game face.

"Hell yeah, let's do this." Lance and Shiro charged at each other, while Pidge and I were trying to knock each other off. I laughed in victory after one last push, Pidge was off Lance's shoulders.

"Haha! Yes!" I whooped, back-flipping off of Shiro's shoulders and giving him a high-five. I grinned at the taller man, not noticing that I was in his arms. I realized it a few seconds later when I heard Lance, Pidge, and Hunk all snickering.

"What are you guys laughing about?" I questioned, totally oblivious to the stance Shiro and I were holding.

"You guys seriously look like a power couple," Pidge commented, taking a picture, "Also, great blackmail material." I looked in front of me and saw Shiro's ripped body.

"A-Ahh!" I shouted, the white and black- haired man doing the same in front of me. My face looked redder than Keith's jacket, while Shiro was rubbing the nape of his neck uncomfortably.

"Why don't you guys just get together already?" Lance complained, waving his arms frantically.

"I could say the same for you and Keith!" I retorted back from embarrassment.

"Hey, don't drag me into this!" Keith yelled from the shore. I looked at the taller male and smiled sheepishly.

"Shall we go back to the beach? The others are waiting," he said gently, taking my hand and kissing it.

"Y-Yeah!... W-We should... I-I mean, I-I should, I-I mean, you should TOO!" I stuttered, face growing redder and redder by the second. He chuckled and pulled me in to carry me bridal-style to the shore. Meanwhile, I was dying on the inside, trying not to nose-bleed too significantly.

Once Shiro dropped me onto the counter of a beach shack, I looked around at the green and brown decor.

"It seriously looks like Hawaii..." I marveled, watching Hunk make smoothies in a shack.

"I know right?" he replied, "They even have fruits that are super similar to the ones we have on Earth too! Berry smoothie?" I took the offer and sipped the delicious, cold drink. I had shivers sent up my spine from how good it tasted.

"Wow!" I said, smacking my lips together, "It kinda tastes like pineapple and mango... Oddly satisfying..." Hunk chuckled and continued to serve the sumptuous drink. Soon enough, all the paladins had lined up and started to brew up some mild conversation.

"What should we do for the remainder of out time?" Pidge asked, adjusting her sunhat.

"Why don't we play some volleyball?" Hunk suggested, washing the finished off cups. I nodded in agreement, but wondered something.

"Where do we get a volleyball?" I asked, looking around.

"Right ahead of you, sweet cheeks!" Lance yelled from across the beach, "I got one!" I giggled happily and went to join him for beach volleyball.

"Who wants to be on my team?" I asked, my eyes glinting in excitement. Shiro walked over to me and gave me a side-grin. I beamed at him and dragged Keith over.

''Wha-H-HEY!" he yelled in protest. I chuckled.

"Can't always be with your boyfriend, mullet," I said, clicking my tongue.

"Aw yeah! The trio of the Garrison is back at it again!" Lance yelled, fist bumping Pidge and Hunk.

"Let's do this thing." Hunk served the ball, making it almost hit the floor with ease, that is, until Keith dove down and saved it, last-minute. I spiked the red and blue ball and landed a point for my team. I stuck my tongue out at the Garrison trio as they fumed.

"Our serve, suckers," I teased, holding the volley-ball, "You're going to have to try harder than that." I hit the ball with extreme force, making it ricochet off the sand and onto Lance's head.

"OOWW!" he yowled, clutching his head, "That hurt, (Y/N)!" I giggled.

"Sorry, loverboy, I'm not going easy on you now."

(Timeskip)

Eventually, my team won with a score of 54-7. Not surprising, considering Shiro and Keith were on my team. I have to say, they were more fit than most of the team. I smiled as I saw the "sun" setting. I got up into the water, since I was done eating. Shiro strode beside me.

"Hey, (Y/N)," he said, waving. I smiled and waved back.

"Hi, Shiro." I awkwardly clutched my arm and blushed.

"There's... been something on my mind for a while now..." he confessed, rubbing the nape of his neck.

"Y-Yeah?" I replied, looking at his shining grey eyes. He brought an arm to circle around my waist.

"I-I like you, (Y/N)..." he breathed, lips centimeters away from mine. I bit my lip.

"I do as well... I like you too, Shiro." I closed my eyes and felt his soft lips upon mine.

"Mmm~" I hummed as his arms brought me up into the air. I wrapped my legs around his torso as we kissed. We separated a few minutes later. I rested my forehead against his. He gently kissed my hands.

"Best day out ever."

"Ahahah! You two finally kissed!" I heard Lance screech unchatacteristically.

"Now all that's left is for you and Keith to get together!" I retorted, sticking my tongue out at the childish teen.

"Yes." Pidge's demonic fangirl voice came from the shore. The brunette already had her phone out, typing and editing a Klance oneshot that she planned on posting the next day.
