Melodies of The Heart

Restoration

The group watched as Keith got hit by Lotor's magic and ended up being knocked down off the cliffside and landing on the ground below. Almost in slow motion.

The group rushed over to the edge and stared down with wide eyes as Keith lay on the ground, unconscious and not moving. Shiro sped past them all, his mind racing as he rushed to his son. He had handed his trident to Matt who swam up beside his sister and gathered her in his arms and she watched, worried for her friend.

Keith was still.

Too still.

The group slowly swam down and stood a few feet away, watching as Shiro hesitated by Keith. He didn't know if he wanted to pick Keith up, what if he was already-

No. He couldn't think like that

He needed to think of the positives.

Shiro slowly pulled Keith into his arms. It was almost funny how Keith was too big for his father's hold.

When had Keith gotten so big?

When was the last time Shiro actually held Keith like this?

Oh. Right.

Before Adam-

Shiro was broken out of his thoughts when one of Keith's arms slid down and something slipped out of his hold.

Shiro's eyes widened when he saw what it was.

The music box!

The box opened and an all too familiar lullaby started playing.

"Adam," Shiro whispered softly, tears filling his grey eyes. "I'm so sorry. What have I done?" Shiro asked, tears slipping down his cheeks as he pulled Keith closer to him.

"Endless sky," Shiro sang softly, one hand reaching up and brushing the bangs out of Keith's eyes which remained closed.

"Waves try to measure

The days that we treasure"

Shiro closed his eyes as tears continued to run down his face. However, as he felt stirring in his arms he opened them. Relief flooding through him as Keith's eyes opened and his head turned to stare at him.

Keith was pretty dazed still from being hit with Lotor's magic but he could make out the image of his father holding him.

"Daddy?" Keith asked softly, Shiro's heart just about burst, he can't remember the last time Keith called him that. After Adam died, Shiro became distant from his children and they were forced to grow up too fast. His son was 17 and he hadn't even realized how much he had grown up.

"Keith," Shiro said with a shaky breath. "I'm so sorry about everything, I-"

"I forgive you," Keith said before pushing himself up and gathering his father in a hug. "Let's go home."

"Yes," Shiro said with a smile. "Home."

Shiro got off the ground and started heading back to the palace, Keith still in his arms. The Prince making no protests.

Shiro would have guards come back to collect Lotor, as long as he was chained to the wall he wouldn't cause any trouble. The chains restricting his magic.

"Let's go home Pidge," Matt said turning to his sister.

"Yeah," Pidge said with a nod. The group then followed after the King and Prince. Hunk staying back to grab the music box and Slav, closing the music box with a smile.
