Shiro has been keeping tabs on Matt since he has arrived on the castle of Lions and as they move through space. He seems anxious and has perfect right to do so. Shiro seeing this makes his heart break, he wished Matt didn't have to go through the shit he had but he can't take that back now.

Matt pacing the halls made Pidge and Shiro rather worried, Pidge more so. She has never seen her bother so lost before but every time she confronted him he would shrug and say nothing was the matter giving an unconvincing smile that the back and green paladins see right through but they didn't press the matter. Knowing from experience that it would go no where. Shiro tried and it failed horribly.

"Matt please just calm down and sit. Maybe we can talk this out." Shiro started calmly. Matt only glared daggers at him receiving a curse and stormed off. Shiro only sighed. Pidge looked at him unsure of what to do. Shiro shrugged. "Let's let him calm down...... maybe he will talk then."

This happed week's at a time and Shiro was starting to lose it. He watched as matt would pace and he would calmly and politely ask him to sit and talk it out. Matt gave his usual response. Pidge only looked dejected and she looked down. Knowing this was all she was going to get. Shiro was fed up.

"Matthew Holt you sit your god damn ass down." He said calmly as he could. Matt only continued to walk out. Shiro got up and grabbed his shoulder, "Listen to me when I talk to you. Sit down."

"Or what you gonna punish me?" Matt countered looking into Shiro's face he regretted it instantly.

Shiro's brows knitted together as he looked into Matt's eyes. Matt could see the anger boiling in him eating at him. Something told him that Shiro has been hiding this for weeks. "No but you're going to lose everything by shoving it down. If you can't talk to your sister about it because it's hard at least talk to someone. Trust me when I say I really want to see you happy but cussing at your sister is not the way to make this go any faster. You're only prolonging your pain."  Matt looked to the side seeing shiro's metal hand clench and unclench starting to glow a soft purple in anger. Shiro only gritted his teeth, it probably burned but it fit the paladin's boiling anger. Matt could feel the human hand on his shoulder boil in anger. Matt looked back up at Shiro reading his face like an open book. He was angry, disappointed, and over a dejected. "You at least have someone to talk to. You should be happy about that. I never had the luxury." Shiro moved away and walked off his arm still glowing softly as he opened the door. He saw the dent in the wall as shiro continued to walk.

Matt looked at Pidge confused and pidge only got up dismissing her self to do something else. Matt was alone. He was alone again...... then it hit Matt like a brick as to why he was alone. That's how Shiro was when he broke out. No one to talk to. Matt slumped against the cool metal wall and for the first time he realized he was finally home..... as home as he could be. He also realized he should talk to Shiro once he calmed down. Probably being only a short time, he couldn't stay mad at anyone he cared about for very long. Matt decided to use that time to collect his thoughts.
