A/N: The featured Oc of the week is Mia Shirogane, Shiro and Keith's older sister, and she is graysexual genderfluid. And trans. Trans too.
The Shirogane household was bustling more than usual at a completely unreasonable hour for a Saturday morning. Mia and Kieth had been up for a good three hours, since seven, and Shiro had gotten up an hour earlier. It was more apprehension and instinct than anything. They were all excited for today, their very first pride parade, and it was only a matter of time before the others started showing up. They agreed to meet at 10:30 but, knowing Lance, he and Hunk would be busting down their door hours early.
The doorbell rang as the three Shiroganes were adding pins to their clothing. Shiro, who had yet to actually put a shirt on, was adding some of his Air Force pins to his 'World's okayest demisexual' shirt alongside the demi-pan ones Mia had bought a few days earlier. Keith had opted to put his gay pins on his trans flag beanie with the exception of his pronoun pins.
Mia got up to open the door, pulling on her 'Gray is okay' sweatshirt decorated with various trans, genderfluid, and pronoun pins. She paused to fix her dark hair and the rainbow beanie she had stolen from Keith before opening the door. Hunk and Lance were on the other side, a half an hour early to no one's surprise.
Hunk was wearing an adorable long sleeved shirt that said 'Pan cake pride' with pan flag pancakes. It was decorated with various animal and food pan pins and he was wearing a pan flag as a cape. Lance had gone nearly overbored, not that Mia was surprised. He was wearing a very corny 'Ain't no lie, baby, I'm bi bi bi' t-shirt under a trans sweatshirt that she was positive Keith had bought a few weeks earlier. His sweatshirt was decorated with various bi, demiboy, and pronoun pins. He too was wearing a pride flag cape, the bi flag going surprisingly well with his sweatshirt.
"Hey guys," Mia greeted, pulling both of them into hugs. Keith materialized behind her once he realized his boyfriend had finally arrived. Lance danced out of the way as soon as Mia let him go and kissed Keith on the cheek, making her baby brother blush.
"Are we ready to get this show on the road?" Lance asked excitedly.
Hunk chuckled. "He's been insanely hyper since last night."
"We're still waiting on Matt and Pidge," Shiro put in. He had finally put his shirt on. Kuro picked her head up as Shiro got up, watching him with a careful eye from where she stayed laying on the floor. Mia could see Lance watch Kuro with borderline puppy dog eyes. Mia elbowed him in the side as she went to grab her phone from the couch, nodding towards Shiro. Lance was a great kid, truly, but sometimes his fear of offending people was completely irrational. Especially when concerning friends and even more especially when everyone knew the answer to the question he was so afraid to ask.
"Hey Shiro, can I play with Kuro?" He finally asked.
"Sure," Shiro replied without even turning to look at Lance. Truly an irrational fear. "Just don't break anything."
Lance's face split into a grin as he lunged for Kuro. The black lab had jumped up the moment Lance had said 'play'. She bounded around him and through the kitchen, Lance giving into the chase. Mia couldn't help but picture the chaos that would unfold if Kuro and Azul ever got the chance to play together. They would probably all be better off if that never happened.
"Don't you dare go into anyone's bedroom but Keith's!" He called after the dog. Everyone but Keith laughed.
"Don't you dare go into my room!"
Lance chased Kuro and Keith chased Lance around the apartment for another twenty minutes before all three of them ran out of energy and collapsed. Hunk then drafted them to help him finish making snacks and packing them up while Mia and Shiro made sure the cooler and backpacks were packed and ready to go. It was nearly ten thirty when the doorbell rang again. Dodging the too many people in the too small kitchen, Mia went to greet the Holts.
Matt was wearing his ever famous gay NASA shirt decorated with various pronoun and trans pins, most space themed, not to mention the matching gay NASA pin. He had those cheap rubber bracelets up both arms as well in the order of a rainbow. Pidge was wearing her custom 'Platonic love is best love' shirt covered in snarky asexual pins, space pronoun pins, and a slightly aggressive trans pin, and an Aro pin to match her brother. She, much like Hunk and Lance, was wearing a trans flag as a cape.
"Guys, the Holts are here!" Mia called, grabbing her backpack, one of the coolers, and the car keys. "Get your shit together and let's go!"
Pidge snorted. "We don't get to come in?"
"First off, you're late, and second, it's complete chaos in there. Lance just spent twenty minutes chasing Kuro around while Keith chased him. Then they got drafted into helping with Hunk's snacks and there are way too many people in that kitchen," Mia explained. "You might want to get in the van now though. It's going to get tight."
Matt and Pidge shared a look before racing off to the car in order to snag the two center seats in the second row. That would leave Keith, Hunk, and Lance in the back, which was bound to get loud. Lance and Keith came out next, each caring one of Hunk's snack bags and holding hands like the adorable dorky boyfriends they are. Hunk followed shortly after with the last cooler leaving Shiro still inside. Hunk almost had this look like he knew someone needed to intervene so Mia went in to find him. She found Shiro digging through his closet while Kuro pawed gently at him.
"What are you looking for?" Mia asked calmly. Shiro turned to look at her, tense with anxiety and on the verge of a panic attack.
"Kuro's camo vest," Shiro said, voice surprisingly even despite his outward appearance. It made a little more sense though. Shiro was very protective of Kuro's gear and got stressed whenever it was moved or he couldn't find it.
"It's under your bed," Mia replied and Kuro went to grab it. "We put it out of the way when you traded it for the black and purple one." Shiro was half listening, Mia knew, as he ran his hand down Kuro's back. The lab pushed her nose against his face, trying to comfort him. It took less than a minute and Shiro put Kuro's vest on, adding the Do Not Touch patches from her other vest alongside a few pride ones.
"We ready to go now?" She asked quietly, offering a hand up with a smile. Shiro took it and she hauled him to his feet, pulled him into a hug.
'Let's go bitches!" Lance cried from the back of the van once everyone was in.
"I'm not stopping so I hope you all are ready," Mia said, turning the car on and plugging her phone into the Aux chord. "Would you like to do the honors?"
With a laugh Shiro took her phone and started the music, Mia's 'Ultimate LGBT Playlist', and the drove off toward the city.
