Wouldn't it be lovely? \\Shidge//

Chapter Two

"Oh, hey Shiro." I smiled as I opened to door.

"Hey Pidge." He smiled back. "How're you doing?" He questioned, concern clear in his features.

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm just working on the lions, working on upgrade ideas and whatnot." He nodded, his arms now crossed and leaning on the door frame.

"Y'know you can talk to me Pidge, me and the rest of the team are here for you." I turned back towards my computer.

"I said I'm fine." I mumbled. I sat down on my bed placing my laptop onto my knees, now focusing on the screen. I heard Shiro sigh and he came to sit on the end of my bed. He called out my nick-name softly but I ignored him.

After three attempts to gain my attention with my nickname, he called me by my real name.

"Katie!" He whisper-yelled. I looked up at him, surprised that he'd used my real name, and met his eyes.

"What do you want from me?!" I yelled, clearly irritated and getting emotional.

"I want you to talk, what are you feeling?" Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes and he noticed, his once stern expression turning soft and sympathetic.

"I don't need your sympathy Shiro. I don't need anyone. I just... I want my brother and Dad back. We haven't seen them in god-knows how long and I miss them." My voice grew quieter as water trickled down my face, my bottom lip quivering.

I tucked my head into my hands and curled up into my sheets. "I miss them." I repeated, Shiro now rubbing my back.

"It's ok, Pidge. It's ok to be upset and worried. You don't have to be strong all the time." He sighed. "I miss them too. They were the best crew I'd ever had. They were my friends. But we're all here for you Pidge, just talk to us. Please." He was pretty good at calming me down.

It was a while before I stopped crying and calmed down, Shiro with me the whole time.
