"Katie, look at me. Keep those beautiful eyes opened for me" Shiro pleased as he kneeled beside the one he loves, holding her up and tapping her cheek as softly as he could with his prosthetic arm. 

"Why you gotta look so handsome when close to tears .. I look like an gross snotty octopuses when I cry" Pidge weakly pouted as she tried to focus her eyes on the man before her.  

A small chuckle leaving his lips as he just stared at her, relief filling his eyes over her keeping awake and responding as much as she could right now. 

"I'm not feeling my best, it sucks you have to see me at my worst" Pidge grumbled back, lifting her sore and painfully throbbing arm before shoving her hand at his face to make him look away.

"I thought you always looked your worse, still got me falling for you in then" Shiro teased back as he placed a small kiss in her palm before letting her arm fall back to her side. 

"I'm rethinking my choices of choosing you as my eternal Mate. I might go for a smooth talker who's a greater kisser like James" Pidge joked back, turning her head away slightly as Shiro pulled her closer. 

"We both know that was a lie and I'll make sure to never ignore you again, mostly. But use the threat of picking someone else and I'll consider actually murdering someone since Krolia said it was common during Galan courtship" Shiro argued back, leaning his forehead to hers and feeling her chuckle over his response.

"Sounds like I might really be stuck with you but it's not sounder too horrible if I'm honest" Pidge grinned back, lifting her hand once more and resting it to his cheek. 

"It really doesn't" Shiro agreed with a giggly smile. 

"Are you both all right?" Keith called out as the black lion finally landed, Keith running down the ramp as soon as he could to check on them.

"I'm happily dying in his arms, don't ruin my last moments in this life" Pidge yelled back annoyed as Keith froze mid run and awkwardly stood unsure on what to do. 

"Don't just stand there, we need to get her to a medic" Matt snapped back as he ran straight past Keith, heading towards Shiro and Pidge.

"Oh no, he's gonna be in full mother mode for weeks now" Pidge whispered terrified as Shiro just nodded while lifting his head to look at the two paladins. 

"Let's try standing you up, might do some good if they see that your fully alive .. somehow" Shiro replied, slowly helping Pidge to sit up before helping her to stand ever so slightly. He noticed her start leaning on his for support as she was unable to put much weight on her right foot but he didn't mind holding her close a little longer.

"Are you okay? How badly are you hurt? Do you think Shiro hairstyle looks good .. oh god, you must be dying if you think it looks good!" Matt blurted out all at once as he reached the two, grabbing Pidge shoulders and shaking her a little before pulling her into a worried hug. 

"My hair doesn't look that bad .. right? Right? .. Keith? You like it, don't you Katie?" Shiro started to argue back before feeling self conscious as no one agreed with him making him start to panic before looking to the rest who gave no answer. 

"Urg, the pain! Oh, I'm dying .. such a cruel universe" Pidge quickly cried out, clinging to Matt as she let her body fall limp.

"Oh no, she's flat lining .. better get her to a medic" Keith quickly spoke up in false panic as he grabbed at Pidge legs, ready to help drag her back to his lion. 

"Guys? My hair can't be that bad" Shiro replied with a tight frown as he looked to them.

"I think we're losing her .... dose anyone know CPA .. I think someone in the Atlas do .. quick Keith to the Atlas!" Matt cried out as he and Keith started awkwardly carrying Pidge away to avoid Shiro question.

"The pain .. such agonizing pain. This is it ... my final moments in life. Such a cruel and nasty fate I must face .. unable to answer a single question ever again" Pidge overreacted as she allowed herself to be carried off.

"A simple no would do" Shiro sighed as he placed his hands on his hips.

"No" Pidge, Keith, Matt, Hunk, Lance, Sam, Iverson, Coran and even Cosmo barked out their answer.  

Shiro just froze as he turned to his closet friends around who all shuffled back inside the lions knowing Pidge would live and would gladly use the excuse over taking her to the Atlas.

"One of you will need to get me a ride back" Shiro frowned as he started walking after them.

"You can hop in with me- What is that!" Allura started to offer before falling pale as something started falling down to earth. 

"Hunk, take both Pidge and Shiro to the Atlas right now. Matt scan that thing over and give me as much intel as you can. The rest of us will be holding it back until Hunk can return" Keith ordered out, throwing Pidge over the ramp side knowing Shiro would catch her before heading to the yellow lion. 

"Good thing nothing is broken .. because ow" Pidge groaned as she landed in Shiro arms, being jolted around as he started running towards the yellow lion where Hunk stood waving them over. 

"I can try complimenting you now if that helps?" Shiro awkwardly offered as he glanced down to her.

"Nah, just hit me hard enough to nap through the pain" Pidge muttered back as she closed her eyes, feeling how heavy her body was becoming before letting a dreamless sleep take over as she left the new battle to the paladins hands alone. 

*************************************

Sorry for the chapter but I just wanted to give one small happy moment.

I'll warn you now that I won't be writing over the fight between Luca and the paladins. Or that bit where the Atlas becomes it's own bigger but slower version of Voltron. I'm not feeling confident enough to try and write that fight scene, so I'll be skipping it completely.
