Shidge

Shidge is the pairing between Takashi Shirogane and Katie Holt from the Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom.

Season 1
After failing a flight simulation, Pidge leaves. Hunk and Lance soon find her outside the Garrison, listening for any signals via radio. A spaceship is seen falling through the sky; Pidge and Lance hurriedly run off to see the ship, quickly discovering it's Shiro who was aboard it. A plan is made to rescue him, but Keith already is. Once Shiro and the others are out, Pidge holds onto Shiro while Keith drives the hoverbike.

After escaping the Garrison, the Galra and flying to the planet Arus, Hunk and Lance are out retrieving the Yellow Lion, Shiro and Pidge are out retrieving the Green Lion. Later, Shiro, Pidge and Keith are out attempting to retrieve the Red Lion. Shiro realizes the ship they’re on is the same ship he and his former crewmates were taken to. Pidge insists on finding them, when Shiro tells her no, she snaps. She yells how Commander Holt is her father. When Shiro learns that, he abandons the search for the Red Lion to join her instead, there also rescuing other prisoners of Zarkon.

The prisoners they recused tell Shiro of his time as "Champion" and how he injured his fellow earthling, Matt. Pidge turns to Shiro demanding to know why he attacked her brother. Shiro stammers, until he leaves to go to the cashed ship that brought the prisoners. Pidge follows after him. They take their Lions to the ship; soon Pidge begins downloading files with the help of Shiro's Gala-tech hand. Moments later a large Galra breaks through the atmosphere, Shiro tries to removes his hand, but Pidge forcibly keeps him in place. As more seconds go by, Shiro becomes more anxious. Shiro tells Pidge he's sorry, before wrapping an arm around her and jet-packing up. Pidge struggles in his hold, yelling about her father. As the Galra gets closer to impact, Shiro tells her to run. Unfortunately they don't make it in time, so Shiro covers her body with his own. It's there they learn that the Lions protect them. Shiro tells Pidge to get to her Lion. They fight together, Pidge gets hit and knocked down, before the Galra can attack her again, Shiro (in his Lion) jumps on the beast's back. Shiro gets thrown down too. With the help of the other paladins, the monster is defeated. Soon after, Pidge is sitting alone, Shiro comes up to her, saying, "There you are." Pidge looks up him with a hurt expression, asking him why he'd hurt her brother. Shiro tells her he did what he did to save Matt. Realizing this, Pidge tears up and flings herself into Shiro. The two share a warm hug, and Pidge tells him she's sorry for doubting him. Shiro can tell how much she misses her family. He tells Pidge how her brother and father would be proud of her, even saying her real name, "Katie". He reassures her how her secret is safe with him.
