"I just spoke with the constabulary, those damn pirates fled without a trace, I'm sorry Adam, the lions inn burned to the ground," Shiro stood next to him as they where back in Shiro and Keith's home.

They stood in the main room with books on high shelves with tall windows and a large fireplace. Adam sat in a large chair as Keith handed him some tea as Shiro knelt in front of him.

"Well certainly a lot of trouble for some ball," Adam laughed with no humor holding the warm tea.

Keith took out the clothed orb and unraveled it to touched the cold bronze surface of the sphere with markings all around it, engraved deeply as if something was inside it.

"Those markings baffle me, I've never seen anything like it," Shiro sighed as Keith messed with the sphere and tapped its sides curiously as it made sounds. He smirked seeing it getting somewhere.

"It could take me years to unlock its mysteries," Shiro pursed his lips as Keith twisted the spheres sides left and moved it to the side to open it right only for green lights to flow out of it.

"Hey," Shiro looked at him frowning.

"Holy fuck," Keith gasped looking at it. The lights took over the room as it swirled to made the galactic universe, to have it all surrounding them in one room.

"It's a map," shiros walked over to him looking around.

"Wait this is us, planet montreasure," he pointed out a small planet. Shiro tapped the planet and the whole galaxy moved forward with a small hush of wind.

"It's the megelenic cloud," he pointed again as the map was still moving.

"And this this... what is this?" Shiro blinked confused at the map seeing a planet he didn't recognize.

"It's..." his jaw dropped as Keith felt himself smiling at the discovery.

"Treasure planet..."

"That's treasure planet!" Keith looked at Adam and Shiro smiling excitedly.

"No... zarkons trove?" Shiro crossed his arms shaking his head a little in disbelief.

"Do you know what this means?" Shiro put a hand on keiths shoulder.

"It means, that all that treasure is only a boat ride away," Keith smirked looking at the map, he closed it making the men jump.

"All that fortune..." Shiro rubbed his face overwhelmed as Adam frowned.

"Adam, Shiro this is it, this is the answer to everything!" Keith held the sphere walking to them as Adam looked unamused.

"Keith there is no way-" "Don't you remember? All those stories?" Keith begged almost.

"They where only storied, Takashi back me up here," Adam said seriously.

"With that treasure we could rebuild the inn and be able to pay off everything, all our debts, get you your dream wedding!" Keith listed trying to convince them.

"Well-It it- it's madness, it's fucking insane- Takashi!" Adam cried out for backup.

"You right, it's totally crazy and dangerous to travel the universe alone," Shiro nodded standing at his fiancés side as Keith groaned.

"Thank you," Adam sighed relieved.

"That's why I'm going with you," he smiled and went to go pack.

"Takashi!" Adam whipped around with wide eyes. Keith beamed again.

"Your not serious," he grabbed his wrist as Shiro passed him grabbing tools from his box and put them in a bag.

"All my life I've been waiting for something like this and here it is screaming! Go Shiro-" "you start chanting your dead to me," Adam warned narrowing eyes.

"Well I mean," Shiro smiled nervously rubbing the back of his head.

"Your both grounded," Adam claimed loudly as Keith crossed his arms.

"Adam look," Keith gulped as both men looked at him.

"I know I keep fucking up, i let both of you down... over and over again... but I need to make things right, this is my chance to do it," keith looked at them guilty and Adam pursed his lips shaking his head again.

"Adam," Shiro turned to him and pulled him aside gently.

"I've said it before, I've tried everything, you've tried too, there are worst things than a little character building months in space for a few months," Shiro smiled at him comfortingly.

"And plus, keiths right, we could have our dream wedding with that kind of money," he held Adams hands tightly.

"And is that really worth the risk of neither of you coming back?" Adam glared a little.

"We will, I've always come back to you, every time," Shiro held the side of his cheek with his real hand as Adam held onto his robot hand.

"Are you saying this cause it's the right thing or you really want to go?" Adam asked flatly.

"I... really really really want to go," Shiro kissed his nose. "But it's also the right thing," he held both sides of his fiancés face and kissed his forehead as well.

Adam finally nodded.

"You better make sure he doesn't go off playing captain and do something stupid," Adam turned to Keith who once had a sorrowful face but turned to a surprised expression.

"I will," Keith nodded grinning a little. "I'll make you both proud, I'm going to make dad proud,"

"I know," Shiro walked to them and kissed Adams cheek smiling. "Thank you,"

"Thank me when you get back,"
