Waking up with a jolt, my face collided with the dashboard in front of me. "What the-did I crash the Purple Lion again?!"
"Hahaha, no, Cloud." Shiro laughs, turning around to the half asleep Lycan behind him. "Keith stopped the ship unannounced."
I groan, until I realise none of the 'kids' are with us. "And don't worry. The kids are in their rooms; Pidge is with Allura, she's safe." Keith adds, turning as well.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Shiro shrugs, "about ... A quintant, right, Keith?"
"I think so." The Black haired boy frowns, turning back around. "More importantly, how do you drive a 10,000 deca-phoeb old Altean Castle Ship?"
"What's a deca-phoeb?" Shiro asks, looking at the screen in front of him. Even in my half asleep state, I manage to turn my screen on. "No, you don't." Shiro quickly speaks, turning it off again. "You're going to bed, Cloud. We'll take care of the kids and you'll be able to catch up on rest."
I open my mouth to protest, but Keith interrupts me. "We've had our time of resting, remember?" I shake my head and my fellow paladin sighs, "nevermind. Just go to bed and stop worrying about us." I smile to both of the men with gratitude, before walking to the door.
"It's a good idea to figure out how to lock the bedroom doors. Easier to keep the kids in their rooms." A devilish grin appears on my face as I leave them asking me loads of questions.

My boots hit the tile floor as I step up onto Allura's podium and walk around my chair. Shiro swiftly spins around in his seat after he turns his screen off. "Cloud, you're meant to be resting."
"I can't get back to sleep after the recent nightmare I had." I confess, turning my screen on. Once again, Shiro stops me by turning the screen off. "Takashi-"
"Tell me." Shiro demands, and I raise an eyebrow at him. "Tell me about the nightmare." He sits down in my chair and he pats his lap, gesturing to me to sit. I do as I'm told and sit down. He rubs my back calmly and looks up into my eyes. "Come on. It's okay."
Bursting into tears, I hug Shiro for moral support. After about five minutes, my eyes are red and Shiro's shirt is almost saturated with tears. "Sorry. It's just..."
"It's fine, Cloud-"
"My real name is Camilla Skywalker. Cloud's just a nickname my parents gave me before they sent me to Earth." I interrupt him. "My fur is the same colour as the clouds on both Earth and Lamantra, so I got the nickname Cloud."
Shiro smiles, brushing the hair from my face. "Camilla is a beautiful name. So, can I just call you Camilla?"
"Only if I can steal a couple of shirts. They're like dresses on me." I reply, and he kisses my forehead.
"Sure thing." Shiro winks at me, causing me to blush furiously.
I slap his humane arm playfully. "Baka! We agreed to take this relationship slow."
"I'm teasing." Shiro laughs. All of a sudden, he stops laughing and his face clearly turns pale. "Wait, we're in a relationship?"
Oh my quiznak, he's just clueless as Lance. "Yes, Takashi, if you want."
"Of course!" Shiro beams with excitement, as he lifts me up by the waist and spins me around. Still smiling, the Black Paladin places me back on the ground and kisses my forehead. "Now, go back and get some sleep. You'll need it."
"Okay, Space Dad." I tease my now boyfriend. I walk to the door and turn around, "love you, Takashi."
He smiles, and blows me a kiss. "Love you too, Camilla." I wave to Shiro, then I walk out the door and start down the hall.
"Are you and Shiro dating?" Keith asks, popping up next to me with Little Lance.
Lance tugs in my hand. "Of course Mommy and Daddy are together, Keef!" He grabs Keith's hand too, linking the three of us. "Mommy, where's Hunk?"
I shrug, looking down at the little Latino boy. "I don't know, Lance. He might be in the dining room." The Latino child hugs my tail before running off.
Keith chuckles, continuing to walk with me. "You never answered my question. Are you and Shiro together?"
"It's complicated." I shrug, confused as Keith is.
Keith turns to me when we reach my room, "a complicated relationship, huh?"
"Yeah."
