At some point (Y/n) managed to sync the calendar and the time on her devices with that reality's Earth, and according to her calendar it was the day before Valentine's Day. She finally had a boyfriend and she knew galra celebrated holidays, but there wasn't any equivalent to Valentine's Day on Daibazaal and she really wanted to celebrate it with him. Since the next day would be Valentine's Day (Y/n) wanted to spend it with Sendak and plan something they could do together, luckily she already had a small list of romantic activities they could do with each other; she wasn't sure what they would do yet, but she still had some time to figure it out. Once (Y/n) finished her morning routine and got dressed she left her bedroom as usual; she didn't see Sendak waiting for her, so naturally she figured he must have been busy and she patiently waited in the hallway for him. The thought of spending Valentine's Day with Sendak was just so exciting for her, especially since she'd never had a significant other to spend it with before; she could hardly wait to tell him about the holiday dedicated to love and friendship.

While Sendak got ready for the day he stood in front of his bathroom mirror, figuring out how to make his fur look fluffier. He used outward brush strokes with his soft bristled brush which worked well to get the effect he wanted while he gently brushed out any tangles. Just thinking about giving (Y/n) a good morning kiss sent a flurry of flutters up from his stomach to his heart and he wore a goofy grin on his face the more he thought about kissing her. His teeth were already brushed, he'd used the bathroom and he already wore most of his armor, all he needed to do was finish fluffing his fur. Once Sendak deemed himself sexy enough, he put his brush away, turned his bathroom light off on his way out prior to leaving his room only to find (Y/n) patiently waiting for him.

“Good morning, My Handsome Warrior. I've been waiting for you.” (Y/n) greeted Sendak flirtatiously after he exited his bedroom, slightly swaying her hips as she approached him.

“Good morning to you too, Angel. You appear to be in a very good mood this morning.” Sendak answered, beaming at his girlfriend when he knelt down and she hugged him.

“You could say that~ Tomorrow's considered a very special day on Earth and, I know that this isn't Earth, but I really want to celebrate it with you.” (Y/n) hinted with a sly tone, lightly biting her bottom lip while she gazed into his eyes.

“A special day? Like a holiday? I wouldn't mind celebrating it with you. What kind of ‘special day’ is it?” Sendak queried, ears perking up as his curiosity got the better of him.

“It is a holiday and this year it's my favorite; it's called Valentine's Day and it's a day reserved for celebrating love and friendship. Now that we're together I can't wait to celebrate it with you.” (Y/n) replied with a huge smile, fluttering her eyes a couple of times flirtatiously.

Sendak really liked the idea of a holiday that celebrated love, although he wasn't exactly sure how it was celebrated and asked his girlfriend to further explain it to him. Human holidays still fascinated him and he'd never heard of Valentine's Day before, he looked forward to hearing about it. (Y/n) took a deep breath to calm herself before she began explaining Valentine's Day to her boyfriend, starting with how couples celebrated it by giving each other cards, gifts, going out on dates together or staying in for a movie night, along with various other activities, and how couples gave each other sweets. While she explained everything she got a few ideas of what she wanted to do with Sendak the next day, but of course she wanted to hear what he might want to do with her. Sendak liked everything (Y/n) told him and he thought of the perfect gift he could give her, although he would be risking his life to get it, nevertheless it was definitely worth it; he would also give her a normal gift and a card, though.

“Well, what do you think? Would you like to celebrate it with me?” (Y/n) inquired, knowing that he would judging by the eager expression on his face.

“I want to celebrate it with you. With a day dedicated to celebrating love, how can I refuse? I look forward to taking the day off so I can have you all to myself.” Sendak purred suggestively as he loosely wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's midsection whilst gazing into her eyes.

(Y/n) blushed and nodded absent-mindedly, then they leaned towards each other and closed their eyes until their lips met in a loving good morning kiss. She could hardly wait for the next day because she would get to spend Valentine's Day with Sendak, she really hoped that Zarkon would give them the day off from their duties. Sendak purred when he felt (Y/n's) hands on the sides of his face; he truly cherished her and he had every intention of getting her the ultimate Valentine's Day gift as a way to impress her, and at the end of the next day they could use it as an ingredient for dinner. After they pulled away from the kiss Sendak and (Y/n) let go of each other, then he stood up and they joined hands so they could go to the dining room together. The next day would be great for both of them, but until then they would go about their business like usual.

Sendak made sure to get enough sleep before he woke up the next morning, if he wanted to come back alive then he needed to be well rested. He woke up earlier than (Y/n) so he could get an early start to the day, but before he left the palace he made breakfast for her and placed it in the food warmer in the kitchen with a note stating it was specifically for her and he left a bouquet of flowers and a handmade card in front of her bedroom door. It would be a miracle if he survived, nevertheless the gift he wanted to give his girlfriend was absolutely worth it. What was such a gift, one might ask? One of the hardest things to aquire in the entire universe; a blovar raptor egg, of course.

The planet they lived on was located in the same solar system as Daibazaal, although only the bravest galra warriors went there because of how dangerous it was with the double gravity and the dense volcanic fog, and they usually only went there to kill a blovar raptor as a way to prove themselves as true warriors. By getting a blovar raptor egg Sendak would prove himself to be a truly worthy life mate for his significant other, even though he knew she didn't necessarily care about it to the point of him risking his life. About an hour later (Y/n) woke up like usual and did her morning routine; she was super excited about spending Valentine's Day with Sendak, unfortunately she wasn't aware about him being gone. She put her cutest outfit on, styled her hair in a simple yet elegant way and spayed on some of the perfume Sendak had given her so she could look her best and smell nice. Right after (Y/n) opened her bedroom door she saw a card and a bouquet of flowers from the garden, then she reached down and picked them up.

“Good times, bad times; fun times, tough times. No matter what, you're by my side and I'm by yours. Happy Valentime's Day, My Enchanting Angel. I love you.” (Y/n) whispered as she quietly read what was written in the card out loud, feeling her heart melt while she read what Sendak had written; she thought it was cute how he spelled Valentine's wrong, nevertheless it was the sweetest thing she'd ever received on Valentine's Day.

It was very romantic for Sendak to have left a handmade card and a vase of flowers for her, so before (Y/n) went to the dining room she took the two gifts into her bedroom and placed them on a small round table that sat near the large window where she had an good view of outside. The flowers had enough water to keep them alive and the card would be safe where it was; (Y/n) could hardly wait to give her boyfriend a good morning kiss. She was a little confused when she didn't see Sendak waiting for her in the hallway, although she figured that he must have been waiting in the dining room for her. The things they could do together were practically endless and she could hardly wait to greet Sendak and thank him for the card and flowers. However, when (Y/n) made it to the dining room she didn't see her boyfriend anywhere, so she decided to sit next to Kumo.

“Hey, have you seen Sendak anywhere?” (Y/n) asked Kumo with confusion, feeling slightly abandoned by her boyfriend on the day they were supposed to spend together.

“I haven't seen him anywhere this morning, but from what you mentioned yesterday about today being a special human holiday celebrating love he might be out finding a suitable gift for you. He'll return later.” Kumo answered as she thought back to the previous day when the human woman casually mentioned the upcoming holiday during the previous day's breakfast.

“He left? I get him wanting to give me a special gift and I guess this will give me some extra time to find something for him, but I really wish that I could have at least seen him off.” (Y/n) responded, slightly disappointed in her boyfriend for not warning her that he wouldn't be around during breakfast.

It wasn't Sendak's intention to leave (Y/n) guessing where he'd gone to, but it would make the surprise even better. (Y/n) kind of knew what she was going to give her boyfriend for Valentine's Day, all she needed to do was go into town and pick it up from the specialties store she'd found it in; it was a new sheath for his sword, only it had a traditional galran design on it and it looked better than the plain sword sheath he already owned, then she needed to make a card for him. When a few servants brought breakfast in, one of them placed the food Sendak left for (Y/n) in front of her on the table along with the note he left with it, then the servant gave her some silverware and a drink. The note only had her name on it, although she appreciated that he took the time to make breakfast for her. Zarkon was just as confused as to where Sendak had gone during such a special day, but he could tell that (Y/n) desperately missed him being with her.

“He'll return later.” Zarkon told (Y/n) with a gentle tone, assuring her that her lover would return to her later that day.

“I know, but I'm still worried about him.” (Y/n) replied, feeling sad that Sendak left so suddenly.

Zarkon knew Sendak better than anyone besides Sendak's relatives, and knowing the warrior in training he went to go get something extra extravagant for the young woman. (Y/n) turned her attention to her breakfast and saw that Sendak had made something similar to a small stack of pancakes with a side of bacon, and even though he'd made it a few hours prior the food was still warm. Wherever Sendak went, she hoped he would come back before the end of the day. While everyone at the palace ate breakfast together, Sendak was risking his life to get a single blovar raptor egg that would be used to make omelets for his and (Y/n's) dinner that evening; he used some invisibility tech Trigel gave Zarkon and it made getting the egg easier, unfortunately he wouldn't leave the dangerous planet unscathed. However, he wouldn't lose his life during his quest for the large egg and he would return to his girlfriend before dinnertime.

It was late afternoon when Sendak finally returned to the palace on Daibazaal with the blovar raptor egg; he had a large cut above his right eye that he had to get treated in the infirmary, then after Haggar cleaned and dressed the wound he went to go look for (Y/n). He felt bad for being gone for a good majority of the day because he'd promised his girlfriend that they would spend the whole day together, he didn't expect that getting the egg would take so long. By that point (Y/n) figured that Sendak wasn't coming back and she decided to sit in the library where she could mourn the loss of her relationship, she didn't even hear Sendak approach her as she gazed aimlessly at the horizon. Sendak felt worse when he saw his girlfriend sitting on a large pillow facing the window, he briefly wondered if he should have gotten her a simpler gift. (Y/n) just stared outside, completely oblivious to Sendak's presence until he cleared his throat; she was startled at first, but she felt better as soon as she saw her boyfriend.

“(Y/n), I'm-” Sendak began to apologize until his girlfriend interrupted him, promptly sitting next to her.

“Where the heck were you? I thought that we were going to spend the entire day with each other. I thought you weren't coming back.” (Y/n) expressed with exasperation until her tone turned to sorrow, not yet noticing the egg in her significant other's possession or the bandage above his right eye.

“I apologize for my absence, Angel; I only wanted to bring back a Valentine's Day gift for you, I didn't expect for my trip to take so long. This is for you, My Beautiful Valentine.” Sendak explained after he apologized; he felt really bad for not being around during the first half of the day, although he hoped that she would understand as he presented the egg to her.

“An egg?” (Y/n) asked him with confusion when she looked at the egg he held out to her; it was whitish gray and it was just a little smaller than an ostrich egg, she didn't even know where he got it from.

“It's not just an egg, it's a blovar raptor egg.” Sendak corrected her, a proud smile appearing on his face.

“A blovar raptor egg? You risked your life to get me a blovar raptor egg? Sendak, I- I don't know what to say. You risked your life just to give this to me? And the area above your eye- Thank you so much, I never would have expected you to go out of your way to get me something like this while risking your life in the process.” (Y/n) questioned firmly before she became a little speechless; she couldn't believe that Sendak would risk his life just to get her a blovar raptor egg, it was the most special gift she'd ever received, mainly because he went out of his way to get it for her, and she graciously thanked him.

“It'll heal in time. It was worth it. Tonight we can use it to make omelets for our special Valentine's Day dinner. It'll be just the two of us out in the garden.” Sendak responded, promising her that his wound would heal; he could hardly wait to spend the rest of the holiday with just his girlfriend, especially dinnertime which he'd already arranged.

(Y/n) couldn't stay upset at Sendak, especially since he'd only been gone for so long to bring her an extra special gift; she gently touched the shell of the egg and felt how smooth it was, she wondered how thick the shell was. She remembered blovar raptors being mentioned in season seven of Voltron and realized that the planet they lived on must have been in the same solar system as Daibazaal, it was a miracle that Sendak came back alive and in one piece. Since her boyfriend was back (Y/n) thanked him for the handmade card, bouquet of flowers and the breakfast he'd left for her earlier that morning; she couldn't stay upset at him forever since he didn't leave for half the day without a good reason.

“While you were gone I made a card and I have a gift for you, but they're in my room.” (Y/n) said after a few moments, suddenly remembering the two items she had for him.

“We can go get them if you like, but first I need to put this egg in the kitchen with a note.” Sendak responded, eager to see what she'd gotten for him.

(Y/n) beamed at Sendak before they both stood up and turned to leave the library together; first they had to stop by the kitchen and Sendak had to leave a note on the egg so that no one would use it, then they went to her bedroom. On the way to her room she and Sendak held hands and he told her about his adventure earlier that day, how he snatched the egg and how he received the injury above his right eye when a blovar raptor almost caught him. (Y/n) was grateful that her boyfriend hadn't lost his right eye like the older Sendak in the main Voltron universe, and she thought her Sendak would look sexy with a battle scar. Once they entered her bedroom Sendak watched (Y/n) pick the card and the sword sheath up off of her bed; the sheath was one of the nicer ones, and the card had little red paper hearts stuck to it.

“Happy Valentine's Day, My Handsome Warrior.” (Y/n) spoke lovingly when she presented the two gifts to him.

“They're lovely. Thank you, (Y/n); I'll always cherish them.” Sendak replied as he took the sheath and card, expressing his gratitude to his thoughtful girlfriend.

(Y/n) smiled, happy that Sendak loved the gift she got for him and the card she made earlier; she tried her hand at poetry, unfortunately she wasn't the best at it. When Sendak read the card she saw him smile which made her happy knowing that he really liked it. Sendak thought the card was sweet even though (Y/n) wasn't the best poet; he still thought it was cute and he liked the sword sheath too. He placed the card and the sheath back on her bed before he swept (Y/n) off of her feet, causing her to gasp and reach for his shoulders; he hadn't seen his other half all day and he desperately wanted to kiss her. (Y/n) lost her train of thought when Sendak's gaze caught her and she smiled; she didn't realize how much she missed kissing until her gaze wandered to his lips for a second.

She and Sendak whispered their love for each other before they closed their eyes and kissed, softly pressing their lips together. They might not have been able to spend the first part of their first Valentine's Day with each other, but they were definitely going to spend the rest of the day together until bedtime. For a while they contemplated sleeping together that night, but if they did then they would get carried away and they couldn't let that happen because Sendak was needed by Zarkon early the next morning. However, they made out for a while until they were ready for dinner; they could always kiss more later, although Sendak and (Y/n) were both hungry and they wanted to have their romantic dinner in the garden together. Ultimately their first Valentine's Day as a couple ended well, and during dinner they were content in the garden while they ate their blovar raptor egg omelets followed by a couple of lava cakes for dessert made with the remainder of the yolk.
