A family reunion - Voltron One-shot

Of parents and family

A/n: This takes place after the whole Kuron fiasco is sorted out (which I presume will happen at some point; the series isn't there yet at the time of me writing this).

"Do you ever think of going back home?" Keith asked.

Both he and Shiro were relaxing in the grass of an alien planet they had just saved. It was quite similar to earth, with a breathable atmosphere, and green vegetation. Keith could have sworn that the air smelt just like it did on earth after a rainfall.

"Not really, I don't think I can," Shiro replied quietly.

"What do you mean?" asked Keith, turning towards him.

Shiro sighed, and raised his robotic arm towards the sky. "I've become a freak. There's no technology even remotely similar on earth; I would be taken away for lab experiments," He tried to smile at Keith, but Keith wasn't having any of it.

"You're not a freak; loads of people have prosthetic limbs! Besides, what about your parents? Don't you want to see them again?" he exclaimed.

Shiro turned away from Keith. "They think I'm dead," he mumbled.

"So? Surprise them!" Keith placed a hand on Shiro's shoulder.

"You don't understand. They will have probably gotten over their greif already. It only cause them more pain to know that they grieved for nothing. Besides, what if I actually die? They'll have to grieve twice, " Shiro tried to explain.

"Takashi, I know you came top of your class, but sometimes you can be really stupid," Keith said, "They'd love to see you again,"

Shiro huffed.

"I met them," Keith continued, "at your... funeral. They were really nice to me, even offering me a home when I was booted from the Garrison. I didn't accept the offer... It would have been too wierd. But anyway, I'm sure they'll love seeing you again!"

Keith could tell that Shiro didn't believe him though.

........................................................................

About a week later, Keith was on a communications hub, that the Blade of Marmora had just liberated.

"We have the greatest Satellites in the universe!" boasted the crab like Alien, "They an reach any known galaxy!"

That sparked an idea in Keith. "I bet it can't reach my home planet,"

"Oh yes it can! If you come from this Universe, it can. Just try it!" the crab exclaimed, "Look there's a free cubicle over there! I dare you to try it!"

Keith smirked, and walked over to the cubicle. Inside was a simple-looking computer.

He pressed the spacebar, and a little robot appeared on the screen.

"Hello, how would you like me to help you today?" it said.

Keith wasn't Pidge, and wasn't nearly as good with computers as her, but with some help from the robot, he managed to connect to earth's internet and log onto his old skype account.

Then it was a simple matter of calling Shiro's parents.

The call was soon picked up by Shiro's father.

"Keith! Oh my goodness!" the man turned to call over his shoulder, "Darling come over here!"

Shiro's mother appeared as well.

"Keith! Where are you? How are you? Are you ok? Are you in danger? You've been missing for almost a year!" she exclaimed, seeing him.

"Hello Mr and Mrs Shirogane," Keith smiled, "I'm ok, and I'm not in danger,"
