Ch 17.

3rd Person-

  "Hey guys, you're back!" Hunk exclaimed to Allura and Shiro.

    Allura sat down, sighing, with a spaced out expression on her face. Shiro, on the other hand, took the seat as far away from her as possible, and looked to be very conflicted. Allura had left early that day to go speak with Lotor and assure him everything was fine. Shiro accompanied her to make sure she was safe.

   "What did Lotor tell you?" Pidge asked. Allura seemed to not of heard her, but it did snap Shiro out of whatever he was thinking. He cleared his throat.

   "We met up with him at Allura's house, and he debriefed us on how my house was doing. Apparently they cleaned up all the bodies, but left the damages, almost like a warning. And that a boy, about twenty-something, was there earlier," he said, giving both of the Paladins a look. Hunk seemed confused, but Pidge tried looking anywhere but Shiro. After a staring contest between them, Pidge finally gave in.

   "Fine, I admit. That was my brother, Matt. He put a tracker on me before I left with you and Hunk. I only found it after I got to Allura's house. But as I was about to take it off, we noticed Lance was missing and I forgot all about it until after the fight at your house. So I just took it off there and stomped on it. Apparently, he thought that was a sign that I was in trouble, and came to the last known location," they explained. Shiro nodded, and let out a sigh, going back to his conflicted thoughts.

   "How did it go undetected through airport security?" Asked Hunk, confused by their explanation. Pidge shrugged

   "It's one of his original inventions, so he must of set up a cloaking feature on it so security, or me, would realized it was on me," They said. Finally, after what felt like an appropriate amount of time, Hunk was the first to cave and ask.

   "And what's up with Allura?" He said. Shiro, once again, snapped out of it, but this time, so did Allura, who heard her name. She blushed, and began her explanation with a dreamy look on her face.

   "Um, after Lotor and I had a moment to ourselves, he confessed he was worried sick about me. When I asked why, he finally revealed that he's had a crush on me since he met me. So, I told him I felt the same and he asked me out for a date tomorrow," she said, the blush and dreamy look never leaving her face. Shiro cleared his throat.

   "Where are Lance and Keith? My brother is usually up by now," he said. Just as Pidge was going to say they had no idea, they heard a muffled 'Lance!' from the other side of the wall. They all got up, deciding they should investigate. Allura went first, with Hunk proceeding after. Just as Pidge was about to walk out, Shiro caught her shoulder.

"So, about your brother, is he hostile? Because, if he's no threat, we can surely arrange for him to up here with you," Shiro said, one part nice and one part tone that Pidge couldn't pick up right away, which made them suspicious.

"Why do you offer, Shiro?" They asked. Shiro gave a nervous chuckle.

"Because he's your brother. And I know if Keith wasn't up here, I'd try everything in my power to make sure he was," he explained. This made Pidge soften a little, realizing a bit that not everything in the world had a malicious intent behind it. So they nodded, giving Shiro a thanks. So they walked out, but once again, Shiro stopped her.

"Also... Is he single, by any chance?" Shiro asked, his ears a bit redder than Pidge recalled, which made them laugh and shoot Shiro a smirk.

"Yes," she said, walking away for the final time, but not before turning around and telling Shiro one last thing.

"And also veeeery gay, so you're welcome," they said, and not without missing the small relieved look on Shiro's face.

Dear brother, what have you done to poor Shiro?, Pidge thought, chuckling. First Lance and Keith, and now Shiro and my brother? This will be interesting.

   Okay, so I know I say this a lot, but I'm sorry for the small pieces and stuff. I've just been really busy with school and trying to keep up my grades, but I promise I'll try to make them longer. Thanks for understanding and see you next time <3
