Epilogue: They Can't Touch Us Now

A Couple Months Later

"They're not going to arrive faster if you keep looking up at the sky." Lance said, nudging Pidge. She flipped Lance off who simply laughed.

"I just can't wait to see my brother and dad. It's been over a year Lance." Pidge said, going back to staring up at the sky. "A year with just my mom. What a nightmare honestly."

"I thought you loved your mom." Keith said with a laugh.

"Oh I do she's just crazy sometimes and over protective and likes grounding me if I hack too far into the Garrison's system." Lance rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry squirt." Aurora said, putting her arm on top of Pidge's head, leaning into her. "They'll be here soon." Pidge elbowed Aurora in the ribs, forcing her to take her arm away as she complained about what a gremlin she was. Keith snickered and looked over at Lance whose eyes were also fixated on the horizon. Keith knew Lance was worried about meeting Shiro but it was no big deal honestly. Shiro was a major idiot. Keith squeezed Lance's hand.

"It's just Shiro. Don't be nervous." Lance rolled his eyes at his boyfriend. Boyfriend. He really liked that word. He had been with Keith for over six months now and he still couldn't get over the fact that he could call Keith his boyfriend.

"Just Shiro." Lance scoffed. "The dudes a legend! And I've only met him once! You're the one whose known him half your life." Lance grumbled.

"He's a major dork." Keith said with a laugh. "When you get to know him you'll see."

"Keith's right. If there's one thing my boyfriend is, it's a major dork." Adam said, walking up behind them. Keith grinned and let go of Lance's hand so he could greet Adam.

"Hey! Thought you'd miss this." Keith joked, hugging Adam.

"Are you kidding? My idiot boyfriend is finally coming down. I wouldn't miss this for the world." Keith laughed. "We're never letting him go back up into space Keith, I swear to god." Adam said with a shake of his head just as Pidge's mom arrived as well.

"Maybe you should ask him to marry you then." Keith said. Adam blushed and Lance grinned. When Keith and Lance had started dating, Adam was insistent that none of them ever call him Captain Whitney again, although Aurora still did it on occasion to mess with him.

"It makes me feel old." Adam had admitted. "I'm 25 for gods sake that 40."

"Wait you're only 25?" Pidge had said, making everyone laugh. Adam had just sighed.

"I'll think about it." Adam said simply as Keith nudged him. Keith laughed and walked back to Lance, lacing their fingers together.

"They should be here any minute now." They heard Mrs. Holt say. As if on cue, the friends all heard a loud, whooshing and rushing sound, like air being let out of a really, really big ballon. Slowly, in the sky a shape formed. It was their ship. Pidge, Keith and even Mrs. Holt cheered as they all watched the craft descend. And even though they were two miles out, the wind being pushed out to help them land safely still blew back all of their hair and clothes.

With the ship finally on the concrete and with the ground crew clearing the space crew to exit, everyone rushed towards the craft to welcome home Takashi Shirogane and Matt and Sam Holt. Keith let Adam hug Shiro first, who dropped his helmet on the ground and nearly shattered the visor. "Matt!" Pidge screamed, launching herself at her brother who had grown out his hair into a ponytail for some goddamn reason. Matt laughed loudly as Pidge clung to him kola style and Sam and Collen Holt hugged each other fiercely.

"Oh my god have you gotten bigger Pidge?" Matt teased. "I've missed my favorite sister." Pidge let go of her brother who gently set her down on the ground.
