It had been a few days since the downfall of Sendak and the castle was at peace for a while. The group had been hard at work getting the castle ready to take off and head to the bulmera, per Hunk's rapid request. Right now though it was night and the whole castle was quiet, as everyone slept soundly in their rooms, all but one that is.

M!Y/N was in the training room and practicing his hand to hand combat with some of the robots in the training deck. His well padded gloves slammed against the metal of the robots as their metal bent and the wires sparked, causing malfunction and eventually loss of power. The loud banging of the collision was muffled but the rooms soundproof system, ensuring that not much noise could be heard from the outside.

He spent a good few hours training before he stopped to take a break and check the time, seeing it was late enough and he'd done what he came for, he scooped up his towel and water before trudging his way to his room. He walked silently through the halls, his combat style boots not making a sound as he stepped. He soon made it to his room and opened the door before stepping inside, letting out a sigh of relief as the door slid shut and locked behind him.

He took his gloves off and hung them on the open hanger spot near his personal punching bag before grabbing a spare change of clothes from his draws. He then slowly trudged toward the bathroom to wash all the sweat off his body, despite it not being visible. He strips himself of the clothes and tosses them into his clothing hamper, the clothes now filling to the top indicating that he needed to do some washing later.

Once rid of his training clothes he switched the shower on and let the cool water slowly turn to hot water before he stepped inside. He quickly washed of eager to get back into his bed and sleep the rest of the night away.

The next day came by without a hitch and everyone joined int he dinning room well rested and contently chatting, the only one not there was M!Y/N, he was still fast asleep. Shiro told the others that he would go and get him and for them to start eating without them. His chair screeched a little as he rose and left the hall, leaving his childish team unsupervised.

He walked the quiet halls of the castle, the pale blue lights illuminating the large space. He got lost in his thoughts, thinking of the other preparations and training points they needed to cover before the next day when his feet came to a halt outside of M!Y/N's door. He snapped himself back to reality and lifted his mechanical hand and was just about to knock when the door slide open.

M!Y/N stood there, his hair disheveled and looking a mess. His eyes still had sleeping crusty's in the corners and his had a drool stain on the corner of his mouth. He had one hand under his shirt and scratching at an itching spot on his upper abdomen, his abs showing slightly.

"Shiro? What are you doing here? What time is it?" He inquired as a yawn escaped his lip. His tongue poking out and curling slightly as he did so. Shiro looked at him, taking in his appearance and the feeling that he was starting to notice swelling in the pit of his stomach.

"I came to check on you, everyone else is out in the dinning room for breakfast and you were the only one still asleep so I came to make sure you were awake" he informed after he coughed into his hand to clear his throat. M!Y/N only nodded his head at the larger male's words.

"Thanks, I'll go get dressed now then come. You can wait if you want or head on ahead, I should only be a moment or two" he mutter between another yawn as he rubbed his eyes and stepped back into his room, not waiting for a reply from Shiro.

Shiro sighed deeply once the door was fully shut and pressed his hand to his forehead, what was this feeling he was getting looking at him. The feeling felt somewhat familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it. Apparently he stood there thinking for long enough that he had to be brought out of his state by M!Y/N tapping him on the shoulder.

"Shiro, hey. You good? Got lost in your head?" He laughed, his slightly toothy grin appearing on his lips. Shiro flinched a little at the sudden touch but ultimately nodded his head.

"Yeah just a few things on my mind is all. Guess I got too lost into the thoughts" he said and began walking back to the dinning hall with M!Y/N in tow. They both happily discussed the recent training and Shiro asked about why M!Y/N had slept in, to which he stated that he did some late night training because he didn't feel tired and ended up sleeping like a log once he got back into his bed. This time it was Shiro's turn to laugh at him, which had M!Y/N pouting and telling him off.

When they both entered the room the others looked at them before Pidge spoke up, her words coming out before she even had a moment to think and process what she was about to say.

"You two look like an old married couple" she blurted. The others snapped their heads to her and both Shiro and M!Y/N froze. They looked back and forth between each other before one spoke up.

"Im sorry could you repeat that for me Pidge?" M!Y/N asked in disbelief, needing to make sure he had heard what he did. Only for pidge to not register their words and commit to it.

"I said you two look like an old married couple" No hesitation was in her words as she leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed over her chest.

"We are not an old married couple. He is a only a friend and someone who helped me" M!Y/N stated firmly, shifting his body to stand straight. For some reason Shiro found the (h/c)nette's words to hurt but he kept it to himself and agreed, deciding not to questions it at the moment.

"He is right pidge, you can't just judge things as you see it, even if it is just an expression for how things may look" he sternly said in his typical dad like voice. Pidge rolled her eyes but nodded in understanding. Shiro smiled and thanked her before turning his attention to Allura and Coran as he asked them about the day's plans and other things.

M!Y/N quickly got himself food and ate quickly, he hoped that maybe he could join in with the combat training the team was doing and show off his skills a little. I mean he was itching for a fight or something, he usually did a lot of intense battles with his mother and the adrenaline rush he got with those made the training all the more thrilling for him.

Just as he was finishing he got approached by Keith.

"I want to spar with you after breakfast." He insisted with a cold demeanour. M!Y/N looked him up and down and nodded.

"Sure, let me finish then grab something from my room. I'll meet you in the training deck, prepare to get your ass beaten." He smirked as he polished off the last of his food and stood up, his taller stature towered over Keith by a few inches. Keith didn't let that get to him as he stared back at him.

"You are on." He growled a little. The trio of friends saw the tension and decided that this would be an entertaining fight to watch and they left to join Keith in the training deck and wait for their other companion to arrive. Shiro shook his head as he watched them all leave the room and vanish into the halls. He excused himself from talking with Allura and she nodded in understanding and let him go after the others.
