After (Y/n) started trusting Throk more and began sleeping in bed with him every night she felt a lot better about her life, she wasn't (just) a slave who no one cared about anymore. Throk felt special ever since he started gaining (Y/n's) trust; it was like he finally found the holy grail after a long journey. He liked her sleeping in bed with him too since they usually ended up cuddling in the middle of the night and he woke up with her wrapped up in his long arms. As the next couple of months passed (Y/n) trusted her master more and more; she never thought she'd enjoy living with him, but she did and her outlook on life improved. At some point Throk started taking (Y/n) for short walks every day so that she could get the exercise she needed and so she didn't go crazy if she only stayed inside his habsuite for too long.

Life was going great for the galran man and the human woman, although their lives were about to change and they didn't even know it. The day started with Throk and (Y/n) cuddling together in bed as usual before they got up, dressed in separate rooms and made breakfast so they could eat together. Before the commander left to do his duties for the day he packed his lunch and bid (Y/n) farewell, knowing she would keep herself busy by watching something on her datapad. (Y/n) enjoyed watching her favorite shows and doing her other hobbies while eating anything she wanted during the day even though she sometimes felt lonely when she was alone. Everything had been going perfectly until she heard a big boom coming from somewhere, almost like an explosion; it sounded like it came from below where the commander habsuites were and at first she didn't think much of it until she heard an even louder boom.

"What the heck is going on down there?" (Y/n) asked out loud while looking at the floor, wondering exactly what was going on in the levels below her.

Something was definitely happening and that something would change her and Throk's life, but she just didn't know what was happening during that particular moment. (Y/n) went back to peacefully watching her movie/show until she heard another couple of big booms which was followed by the whole habsuite shaking a little. After she heard more big booms and felt shaking (Y/n) came to a realization; someone was attacking galra central command and just the thought made the young woman afraid. What if Throk got killed by whoever was attacking? So many thoughts and worries filled (Y/n's) mind as she sat towards the back of the large couch where she wouldn't fall off; then, all of the power went out which left her in the dark.

"What the frag is going on down there?!" (Y/n) asked out loud again while trying not to panic; the entire habsuite shook more as another explosion happened closer to where the higher ranking members of the galra empire lived.

She wouldn't find out until later, but the paladins were attacking galra central command in hopes of ridding the universe of Zarkon once and for all. The explosions scared (Y/n) because they sounded like they were getting closer and closer with each minute that passed. Meanwhile, Throk and the other commanders who lived on-site were doing their best to do whatever they could in order to deter Voltron from attacking; it obviously wasn't working and they knew that they might die, but to them it was worth losing their lives in the name of the galra empire. (Y/n) curled up on the large couch and tried to drown out the sounds of the explosions right before Zarkon's voice over the loudspeakers; not knowing what was going on only made the situation worse, so she didn't want to think about the worst possible situation. No one had ever attacked central command before, never, and she hoped they would go away; so many fears ran through her mind and the only thing that would calm her down was Throk cuddling with her.

Throk's ears were still ringing after the big battle was finished; no one expected Voltron to attack the central hub and in the end Zarkon ended up nearly being killed by the universe's only defender. The damage to the massive ship would take a few phoebs to repair and the soldiers who had been killed would be sent back to their home colonies where they would receive proper funerals and burials. Throk tried to ignore the pounding in his head and the sharp pain in his left side, wanting nothing more than to finally rest with his pet; since the power came back on earlier things were mostly back to normal. When he finally entered his habsuite the only thing he wanted to do was take (Y/n) to bed and cuddle with her for an hour or so before they ate dinner together. When he saw the young woman curled up on the couch while trembling he realized that the explosions scared her; he took his boots off and rushed to her side, knowing she most likely had been traumatized during the attack.

"It's alright, dearest, I'm here now and the battle is done. Everything's going to be alright." Throk spoke calmly despite how much pain he felt and how pissed he was about Zarkon nearly being murdered.

"What- what happened down there? I was so scared that central command was going to be destroyed and we were all going to die." (Y/n) shakily asked her master when she looked up at him, breathing heavily as she spoke; having him back made her feel a lot better but she would be shaken up for a while.

"Voltron attacked and nearly killed Zarkon while he was fighting them off in his new armor. They're gone now; we're safe." Throk sighed while he carefully picked her up, cradling her against his broad chest before he stood up and headed towards his bedroom.

(Y/n) thought for a moment and remembered Zarkon's obsession with Voltron, or rather the black lion specifically; she didn't know exactly what Voltron was but from what she understood it was some kind of super weapon. She let herself be carried to the bed by Throk who quietly grunted with each step he took, obviously in pain from a few injuries he ended up receiving during the battle. Throk placed (Y/n) down on his bed so he could rid himself of his armor and bodysuit; he rarely walked around or slept in his underwear, so he hoped his pet wouldn't panic. When he got into bed and pulled her against his chest (Y/n) blushed and felt tingly, hardly able to believe she was pressed against his naked chest. Honestly, she was surprised how perfectly smooth his chest felt to the touch, although she avoided touching his nipples since she didn't want to trigger any sexual responses from him.

"I can tell you missed me today; you must have been so worried earlier." Throk purred softly while he tried not to let her slightly turned on scent get to him; instead, he focused on calming her down.

"I- I was so worried about what would happen. I was scared that we were going to get killed in a painful way." (Y/n) answered quietly, her breathing returning to normal even though her heart was still pounding within her chest.

"After everything was said and done I was worried about you. Now, let's rest for a while, I need to feel you against me. I'll prepare dinner later." Throk responded with an almost loving tone, purring while he enjoyed cuddling with the young woman wrapped in his long, thin arms.

(Y/n) took a deep breath and closed her eyes, feeling relaxed for the first time since after Throk came home after doing what he had to do during the battle. She could hear Throk's heartbeat as she laid perfectly still, enjoying his warmth and how he was able to make her feel safe. Throk actually felt better while he cuddled with (Y/n) amongst his many blankets and pillows; no matter what happened while he was away doing his duty to the empire he could always count on his pet to brighten up his day. He gently nuzzled the top of (Y/n's) head and breathed in her scent, something that comforted both of them while they laid together. Eventually they would eat dinner but during that moment all they wanted to do was cuddle in the safety of Throk's bed, completely unaware of how their lives were about to change.
