No pov

Bonding and apologize had gone well, in fact you could even say they had gone great!

-----FlashBack-----Allura and Coran

"Lance, I shouldn't have done this to you." It was Allura.
"What are you talking about Princess?" Lance responds, looking up from his bowl of goop. He couldn't fathom the fact that Allura and Coran was apologizing to HIM. HIM! For god sake, he thought the day he saw this would be the day he died.
"We mean what we said, Lance. We should have taken your feelings into consideration. I'm sure you were doing the right thing. My father used to say,"Give everyone a chance; you might be able to see their purpose." And I am dispointed in myself to say that I had neglected what he had taught me." Allura said. Her eyes were casted on the floor in shame. Her hands were neatly folded in front of her.
"I'm sorry, my boy. I think of you as my son and I can't think of one reason why you were wrong and I was right. I can't lose another son, I'm sorry again, my boy."
Lance stepped forward, wrapping his arms around them and resting his forehead on Allura's shoulder. Allura gasped in shock, before smiling and wrapping her arms around his torso. Coran smiling and doing the same.
"I'm sorry too, Rosie. I'm sorry. I forgive you, both."
He didn't even realize his mistake as Allura just hugged him even tighter.
"We're all sorry, Lance."

------Shiro

"Look, Lance, as your leader I am ashamed of myself. I was completely wrong. I've just been looking on your wrong side, and I keep forgetting that you're all just teenagers. You all have families. I wouldn't be able to bear with myself if I had lost Keith." Shiro announced as he stood in the doorway of Lance's room.
Lance stopped what he was doing (Organizing his shelf filled with earth memories and space memories) to stare at Shiro in shock. Shaking his head, he grinned and nodded. Going back to what he was doing without saying a word to his guest.
"Are you going to say anything?"
"I don't have to dad. I already accepted your apology." He called out, not taking his eyes off of what he was doing.
"Oh. Well, I'm just gonna go."
"Wait! Actually, dad, do you want to help me organize this? I can show you whatever pictures of my family I have." Lance smiled at him.
"Yeah...I'd like that."
Not once did Lance stop calling dad during his entire stay. He never even realized.

-----Hunk and Pidge

Pidge sat in the kitchen counter with her lab top in her lap. She wasn't allowed up there but right now, who gives a damn. Hunk stood near the make shift altean oven as he waited for the improved chocolate chip cookies to finish. Both were silent as the ticking of the oven clock sounded through the room.
"We messed up." Hunk whispered. It was like if he talked any louder, everything would just shatter again.
"Wow, I didn't know that!" Pidge rolled their eyes, crossing their arms. A flash of hurt crossed Hunk's eyes, as he went back to staring at the oven.
"Sorry, I was just stressed that's all." She mumbled. Hunk smiled at the apology.
"That's alright, I understand, given the situation."
"What situation?" Just than Lance walked into the room.
"Uh, nothing." And soon the silence had resumed.
"Ugh! Fine, I'm sorry Lance, I wasn't thinking of your well being. I've been so stressed out trying to find Matt lately I..." She broke off.
"Your right, Lance, buddy. As your best friend I am ashamed to admit I wasn't on your side. I-this space Thing has gotten to me." Hunk cried.
"We understand if you don't want to talk to us anymore."
"Guys! Gremlin, sis! Hunky Hunk, bro! You guys! You know that I can't do that! You are my best buds, my amigos! Mi familia!" Lance exclaimed.
"I know, I won't be able to go home, but with you guys, I'm sure I won't be missing much."
Hunk grinned before springing over to Lance and Pidge, pulling them into his signature bear hug.
"Ok you big softy, enough human contact for today!"
Pidge gasped.
"Um, guys...is something burning?"
"The cookies!"

-----End flash back

But, things crumble and the wind picks up the stray pieces; everything is left in ruins, again. The shadow is strong and dark, and the light seems to falter. Right now, between the light and the dark, is a fine line of gray, where a young Cuban boy resides. For how long? Who knows.
