Hidge

Hidge is the het ship between Hunk and Pidge from the Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom.

Canon
Hunk and Pidge first met at the Galaxy Garrison when they were put on the same team, along with Lance. They eventually became friends, mostly due to their mutual tech-savvy nature. They get along fairly well, though Pidge does seem annoyed when Hunk tries to touch her equipment. Hunk seems nervous when Pidge wants to investigate the pod falling out of the sky, carrying Shiro, but Pidge and Lance manage to drag him along.

Pidge and Hunk are often seen hanging out together, whether they are working on engineering something or just hanging out as friends. During Crystal Venom, the two of them fight the malfunctioning castle twice together. First, Pidge helps Hunk defeat the malfunctioning food machine. Later, they are caught in anti-gravity, and have to work together to fix it. They have to reach out and grab each other while floating in a scene similar to Kallura's spinning-in-space scene. Pidge asks him to kick her across the room so she can reach the control panel, but Hunk thinks she's asking him to hurt her and says he wouldn't do that to his friend.

Somehow, Hunk was able to figure out Pidge's real gender before she told everyone, probably because he admitted to reading her diary in the first episode. Pidge was angry at him for going through her stuff but didn't hold it against him.

In Eye of the Storm, Pidge is seen casually hanging around Hunk as he attempts to bake cookies from alien ingredients. Their friendship is shown here to be very relaxed and casual.

The two characters are teamed up together very often, such as when they had to shut down a Galra communications station in the fourth season as part of a much larger mission.

Fanon
Hidge, while not a rarepair, is a smaller ship in the Voltron fandom, but it does have several dedicated fans. It is occasionally seen as a side-ship to of the show or it seems to look like to some.

Pidge and Hunk have the biggest size-difference among the paladins, which fans of the ship love. Plus, shippers have remarked they love the sense of completion Hunk and Pidge share as engineers while having different personalities and the ship has been referenced as a bit of a "in love with my best friend" trope to some.

Variations

 * Plunk refers to the ship between Lance, Hunk and Pidge

Trivia

 * In Fun Sentry, Hunk and Pidge excitedly call themselves the alternate ship name "Punk" - "Yeah! Team Punk does it again!"
 * Pidge and Hunk are two equally tech-savvy characters described as being "two sides of the same coin": while Pidge is the more creating, engineering, "figuring out" side, Hunk is the "build it and make it work" side.
 * Tyler Labine, Hunk's voice actor, thinks the ship is cute, but prefers the ship name punk. He has also referenced them being each other's yin and yang.
 * The Official Paladin's Handbook states that Pidge is 15 and Hunk is 17, though there is some doubt as to whether this information is accurate to the canon because the book was not reviewed by executive staff. Given Pidge's status as a middle schooler prior to her family's disappearance, the given "safety zone" ages as "14" and "late teens" respectively by series staff, and statements by their voice actors, no major inconsistencies with their ages exist.
 * Bex has smugly said that her favorite color code is green and yellow, along with a message about it causing a ship war. Also on Twitter, Bex sent a tweet that said "Punk confirmed."
