[Eventually, a Pidge will emerge in the kitchen. Disheveled. Practically half-asleep. Glasses on top of her head.]

Coffee.

[shiro2hero]

[Just gonna wordlessly pass her a mug.]

[They both look about the same right now, honestly. Except this is probably Shiro's normal look.]

[pidge_out]

[Shiro is the savior. The champion. The man, the legend, the provider of coffee.

Pidge is going to quietly sip it, eyes closed, slowly smacking her lips after every sip.]

[shiro2hero]

So... are you really just awake for a project?

[pidge_out]

You woke me.

[Though to be fair, she was probably up until about an hour ago.]

[shiro2hero]

Then go back to sleep, all right?

[pidge_out]

No.

[More sipping of coffee. You've done this to her, Shiro. This is your child.]

[shiro2hero]

Go back to bed.

I'll have some regular coffee waiting for you if you do.

[Implying what she's currently drinking is... you guessed it. Decaf.]

[pidge_out]

[First of all, that's rude, Daddy. Second, she doesn't even realize what he's just told her right away.

It takes her almost a full minute.

And then, very quietly, she moves toward the sink. Promptly dumps the rest of her mug out. Then wordlessly holds it out toward Shiro insistently.]

[shiro2hero]

[Yeah he was expecting that.]

[He puts both hands on her shoulders. And gently tries steering her back toward the stairs.]

[pidge_out]

NO.

[She is planting her skinny bare feet into the floor and kicking back.]

KITCHEN. COFFEE.

[shiro2hero]

Pidge...

Please.

[pidge_out]

[She's making the most pathetic eyes in the world at you, Shiro. Tired, sad, pleading puppy-dog eyes.]

[shiro2hero]

... Don't do that.

You're going to make me take drastic measures.

[pidge_out]

Coffee, Shiro.

[It's part whine, part demand, part mumble.] Extra black. Five sugars.

[shiro2hero]

[Oh my god fine, he will counter with his own sad face.]

Please get some rest.

[pidge_out]

[That's pretty good, Shiro. But you forget that Pidge grew up with Matt, and she is immune to Matt's puppy face powers.]

After coffee?

[shiro2hero]

[Goddamn you Holts and your puppy faces, why are you all so good at this.]

You won't sleep if you have coffee, Pidge.
