On the day of the trip Throk made sure (Y/n) would be ready; she hadn't been away from the main hub for a long time and he wasn't sure how used to space travel she would be. Galra shuttles were far more advanced than what humans built and were made to withstand flying through the atmosphere of different planets, so it wouldn't even seem like they were flying. (Y/n) was super excited for the upcoming trip and made sure to get enough sleep the night before, that way she would be well rested. The next morning after they did their morning routines and ate breakfast together Throk let (Y/n) help him prepare and pack a picnic lunch for them to eat after he made sure everything at the base was functioning correctly. With Voltron destroying galra bases within the past few phoebs it was important for commanders to check in on each of the remaining bases.

The journey to the planet was a short one thanks to the shuttle's hyperspeed function and before either of them knew it they had arrived on planet Bedalia located on the farthest end of the Dalterion belt. (Y/n's) eyes were blown wide as soon as Throk led her out of the shuttle; the greenish blue sky was kind of strange but the forest around them looked amazingly beautiful, almost like something out of a fairytale. After living in the middle of space for so long she felt overwhelmed from the environment around her, particularly the sun since she wasn't used to the sunlight, so (Y/n) had to use her hands for shade until her vision adjusted. Throk stopped walking when (Y/n) did and used his body to create a shady spot for her to stand in; he knew that she wasn't used to being out in the sunlight and he honestly didn't mind waiting until she could properly see her surroundings. It took a few moments, but eventually (Y/n's) vision adjusted to the sunlight and she took a few steps forward.

"Do you like it here?" Throk asked (Y/n) with a knowing tone, happy to see her enjoying the lovely Bedalian climate.

"Yes! I love it! I haven't been outside in forever." (Y/n) answered without hesitation when she turned around to face her master, beaming up at him with excitement.

"I'm glad that you're enjoying yourself. Before we can eat I need to check on the base, I would prefer you stay close so that you won't get lost." Throk responded whilst grinning down at her, feeling slightly more cheerful than usual.

(Y/n) nodded her head in confirmation before Throk led her to the dirt tail, making sure to follow close behind him so she wouldn't accidentally get lost. The dirt had a purplish tint to it and she wondered if that was normal or not; then again, she hadn't been to Bedalia before and didn't know anything about it. She looked at her surroundings and saw a few alien birds in the distance, as well as some flowers growing amongst the turquoise grass on the ground. Throk glanced back every so often to make sure (Y/n) was following him, a light blush dusting his cheeks when he saw how beautiful she looked in the sunlight; he knew that he shouldn't be thinking like that but he couldn't help it. Living with (Y/n) as his pet for so long was starting to have certain effects on the established commander and he briefly wondered what it would be like to have an intimate relationship with her.

He obviously didn't want to have any children with (Y/n) because he despised halfbreeds more than anything, although he wouldn't mind being on more intimate and romantic terms with her. Throk stopped thinking such ridiculous thoughts before his mind could wander too far; he was not going to do such things with her, or at least that's what he told himself. While he was caught up in his thoughts (Y/n) was having the time of her life, daydreaming of possibly living on Bedalia with a future lover if she would get the chance to have one, unfortunately it seemed highly unlikely because of her status as a pet. She completely lost track of time until she found herself following Throk into the base he had to check in with, feeling a little creeped out each time one of the unfamiliar guards looked in her direction. (Y/n) knew Throk would never let anyone harm her while they were at the base, or anywhere for that matter, she was too valuable to him.

"I'm here to check in." Throk announced when he walked into the control room; he didn't mind (Y/n) hiding behind him since she seemed nervous.

"Commander Throk, we've been waiting for you to arrive." Plytox formally greeted Throk when the commander walked in, glancing down at (Y/n) when he saw her looking around the room.

"Well I'm here now, let's begin. Have you been having any problems with the threats to the empire?" Throk responded, getting right to business since he wanted to have a picnic with (Y/n); the sooner he finished with his check in, the better.

(Y/n) listened to Plytox give his report at first but then she got bored and started to daydream; she hadn't seen outside in years and all she wanted to do was go exploring and maybe take a nap in a sunlit meadow. She could still hear the singing of the birds in her mind and feel the warmth of the sun on her skin, a huge contrast to galra central command with its dim lights and dreary mood. (Y/n) listened to certain parts of the conversation she thought were interesting and followed Throk around when he went somewhere, making sure to do her petly duty and look pretty while staying loyal to her master. Throk felt a sense of pride when he saw some of the foot soldiers looking at (Y/n), it meant he had a beautiful pet, but at the same time he didn't like it because he could smell their pheromones and knew what some of them wanted from her. He would never share her with anyone, she was his and his alone and no one aside from him would be allowed to touch her.

The check in on the base lasted a little longer than they expected but before (Y/n) and Throk knew it they were finally able to go on their picnic; they had to go to the shuttle to get the picnic basket first, although it wasn't long before they were headed to find the perfect picnic spot. Throk held the picnic basket during their search since it was galra sized and if (Y/n) carried it she would probably fall over. He was thankful for not having to lead (Y/n) around on a leash like he did in the main hub; (Y/n) looked so happy not to be led around like an animal and he knew she would never wander away. (Y/n) was just happy to be outside where she could enjoy the great outdoors, listening to the birds and breathing in the fresh air. She made sure to follow Throk so that she didn't get lost, and she kind of liked the view of her master's perfect ass during their walk.

With her head in the clouds during their walk (Y/n) imagined things that she probably shouldn't have been thinking about in the first place, although it was hard not to because she was crushing hard on her master. Throk didn't think much of the dreamy expression on (Y/n's) face; he thought it was because they were outside, little did he know the real reason why she had such an expression on her face. Eventually Throk found a beautiful lake amongst the trees and flowers that had a few large round flat rocks near it, the perfect place for a picnic. (Y/n) blinked a few times when she realized Throk walked over to one of the rocks to set everything up, thinking the sight of the beautiful alien lake in the forest looked stunning; she'd never seen anything more beautiful during her entire life. Throk set the picnic up quickly and sat on the edge of the rock, waiting for (Y/n) to join him since the rock was short enough for her to sit on it.

"It's so beautiful. Have you been here before?" (Y/n) gasped in awe when she sat on the rock across from him, wondering if he'd been to the lake before.

"I've heard of it but I've never seen it in person before today. It is quite lovely, I'm glad you enjoy it." Throk replied with a genuinely happy smile, a gentle expression painted across his face.

"Oh, I do. I wish- W-well, it's not important…" (Y/n) said wistfully, cutting herself off since she didn't want to say what she wanted to say in fear of angering her master.

"What do you wish for? You may speak your mind out here, I won't mind." Throk calmly assured her, wanting to know what was on his pet's mind.

"I've often wished that we could live on a planet instead of the main hub, somewhere nice where we can go outside every day. I'm very grateful for having a home at galra central command, but it's so closed off and depressing there." (Y/n) answered hesitantly, feeling anxious about telling Throk one of the things she'd always wanted.

"We? As in you and I? I see… Perhaps one day I'll get transferred to one of Zarkon's planetary bases after he's back in power." Throk responded thoughtfully, a little surprised that she included him of all people in something she wanted to happen during her life.

(Y/n) beamed up at him, hoping he would someday get transferred to one of the empire's planetary bases so they could live somewhere other than a gigantic ship in the middle of space. She reached for one of the cookies he made the previous day; being out in the forest with Throk made her feel as though they were free, that the war and the empire were nonexistent and they could live their lives freely even though it was only for one day. Throk had a slight smile on his face as he too selected something to eat, feeling nothing but bliss as he sat there with his pet who was happier than he'd ever seen her before. He might have thoroughly enjoyed fighting for the glory of the galra empire, conquering planets and attending gladiator fights, but that didn't mean he didn't enjoy peaceful days outside with (Y/n). Throk felt sad when he thought about his retirement when he got older; (Y/n) would be long gone by then and he would be alone, although he pushed that thought aside so he could enjoy the day with her.

"After our picnic can we walk around some more?" (Y/n) asked Throk with curiosity since she wanted to explore for a little while to see what kind of interesting plants and animals there were in the forest.

"Yes; we're here all day, we have enough time to do whatever you want." Throk answered light-heartedly, his smile widening a little when his gaze met hers.

(Y/n) felt absolutely tickled pink; she could finally be outside and explore a forest as an adventure, something she'd wanted to do ever since she was a child. For the first time since her mental breakdown she felt as though she was truly free, especially now that she was outside in the woods on a planet located far away from galra central command, she would miss it when they had to go home. After finishing the cookie (Y/n) reached for one of the sandwiches, savoring its flavor when she took a bite out of it. For once, Throk felt at peace; he got to enjoy spending the day out with (Y/n) and seeing her so happy made him feel the same way. (Y/n) and Throk enjoyed having their picnic for the time being, neither of them thinking the silence between them was awkward since they were comfortable around each other; they enjoyed the rest of the day too, both of them loving having a lazy day outside.
