[As soon as she sees the note, she sets back off through the house to find her brother. But not without first shooting over a text.]

saw your message. what's up? where are you?

[tookashirototheknee]

On the roof at the moment. Tell you when you're up here.

[Don't make him do this over text, Pidge.]

[pidge_out]

[That earns a curious headtilt, but she shrugs it off and simply replies with-]

on my way

[-before she is, in fact, on her way up to the roof. She's up there in short order, climbing over until she can settle herself down next to her brother with a soft sigh. It doesn't look like anything's wrong, but clearly Matt has a need to talk in person and she can't tell what it might be.]

Okay, I made it. Everything okay?

[tookashirototheknee]

Everything's fine!

[He's blushing a bit, looking awkward. Taking a breath, he figures the best way to do this is the typical Holt way. Blunt as hell.]

Shiro proposed, and I want you to be my best sister at the wedding.

[pidge_out]

[Her head tilts slightly. Blushing? Why would he be blushing? Is it something embarrassing?

And then of course, Matt drops the bomb. And Pidge's look of confusion melts into wide-eyed excitement.]

He-- He did?! And you-- OH MY GOSH!!!

[Fucking finally!! Pidge has only been dropping hints every chance she gets. Immediately she launches herself at Matt in a hug, laughing excitedly. She couldn't be happier for her stupid big brother if she tried.]

[tookashirototheknee]

[Matt hugs her back, tightly, grinning hugely.]

It wouldn't be the same without you here to annoy, I mean, help out.

Besides, there's literally no one else I want with me there. You're my Best Sister. End of story.

[pidge_out]

[She gives him another quick squeeze before pulling back, still all smiles and excitement.] Matt, you don't even have to ask. Just tell me what I'm supposed to do.

[tookashirototheknee]

Uh... I have no idea, to be honest. I don't know what we're doing for the ceremony, I don't know what we're doing for the party...

All I know is that I want you there in... whatever makes you the most comfortable. Maybe in green. We'll put Hunk and Lance in yellow and blue.

[pidge_out]

What- Really? No fancy dress required?

[tookashirototheknee]

Well... ok, formal clothes, but wear a suit if you want. Or a dress. Or hell, a suit jacket and tie and skirt. I just want you to be yourself. That's my point.

[pidge_out]

[Pidge laughs a little at that, nodding.] Deal. I'll be there. [And then she leans up against him, still grinning.] I'm really happy for you, Matt. For both of you. It's about time.
