Shiro was led into the waiting room. His legs were shaky and he leaned onto the doctor next to him. He felt like he had been thrown through the deepest pits of hell and came back... again. His mind was racing and every instinct he had was screaming at him to run and fight. Shiro managed to sit in the chair before noticing the room was empty.

"Where... where's everyone?" He asked. His heart dropped to his stomach. No Lance, No Pidge, No Hunk, No Keith, No Adam.

"They were here a minute ago." The doctor replied, being entirely unhelpful. Shiro felt his anxiety worsen.

Either they were in danger by collectively being kidnapped and all scared, or... they decided to abandon him.

"HE'S NOT FUCKING HERE?!"

Wait.. was that Keith?

Hearing an unearthly screech confirmed his thoughts. Yep, definitely Keith. He had heard that– what Adam claimed was a– "battle cry" several times years prior. It usually ended in some bratty kid getting hurt, but it was 100% identifiable.

Shiro's head spun. He swallowed to try and keep himself from throwing up. He gripped the arms of the chair tightly.

He had heard Keith, but was he hurt? Was he fighting someone, like the screech earlier heavily implied?

Pidge then came sprinting into the room.

"Come on guys, we need to hack into the security footage! Maybe they took Shiro to a different room." They called from behind. Shiro smiled and nearly teared up. They hadn't forgotten him.

"Slow down! Keith's fighting off some doctors first!" Hunk called.

So he was fighting someone? Shiro chuckled to himself with a fond grin.

Pidge turned and froze.

"Guys we can stop the search!"

Hunk appeared from the door. He had an expression that Shiro could only describe as have you gone bat shit crazy? directed toward the green paladin.

"We can't just stop looking! We literally just got Shiro back!" Hunk looked around the room. He had a hand on his hip as Pidge stared at him. Hunk looked around again.

"I can't believe you would just give– oh. Oh!"

Shiro smiled. Every muscle screamed and his nerves felt like they were on fire.

"Pidge did you hack the cameras yet? Sorry we're late, Keith decided to deck a guy and somehow got kicked in the mouth." Lance trailed off behind them. Adam was to his side, his hair messy and he want panting. His lip was split.

"Anyway, did anyone hear him do anything after screaming? Is he okay?"

Adam left Lance's side and went to Shiro's. He groaned as Adam hugged him. "Ow."

Adam removed himself like he had been burned.

"Holy crow you found Shiro!" Lance screamed.

"Shiro?!" Keith hollered, rushing in. Without hesitation he grabbed Shiro and pulled him into a hug. Shiro bit his lip and stifled a silent scream. His legs shook and Keith eventually ended up holding him up.

Seeing no argument from the eldest paladin, the other's piled in. Pudge's head rested below Shiro's elbow, Hunk snuggled with his chest against his back, Lance managed to sneak his way around his arm, and Adam held his hand. It was too squished for him to attempt to fit in the pile.

"You okay?" Keith murmured.

"Never let me go through that again." Shiro whimpered back before melting in their embraces.
