"Hurry up, you big oaf!" Y/N shouts, pulling him along. Shiro laughs back, clutching into her hand tightly, "Where are you taking me?" Y/N stops, turning around and placing his hands on her hips, her own on his shoulders. She giggles, smiling widely, "I'm about to change your life!" A small but bright blush appears on his face. Shiro clears his throat, moving his head to lean against hers, "Then by all means, lead the way." She steps onto her toes, stretching up to brush her lips onto his. He sighs, one hand going up to cup her cheek. She felt so right. She was the one for him. Y/N pulls away, hugging him loosely as she says, "I love you, Shiro. So much." He grins back at her, thumb brushing against her soft skin. "I love you too."

Shiro is suddenly snapped out of his thoughts. He's been daydreaming about Y/N, how they would have so many fun adventures with her, not just sitting in front of a healing pod.

He turns to see the look on Lance's face. The irritation mixed in with concern. It's been three whole days since he's had sleep. "Shiro, you're not doing yourself any good keeping like this." Lance speaks, the other Paladins behind him with the same expression. Keith nods his head, adding on, "You need sleep. Allura said that you haven't come out of this room in four days. You know yourself that Y/N would tell you to go rest." Shiro sighs, rubbing his cheek as he looks away from his team.

"I-I'm sorry. I can't leave her, you have to understand." He mutters. Pidge shares a look with Hunk. They both knew that when Shiro had his mind set on something, it'd take a lot of persuasion to turn it over. Keith steps forward, hand on the older man's shoulder as he states, "We get it, Shiro. But you're also the one who told me that I need to make sure I'm set and ready before checking on other's." Hunk nods his head, stepping forward as he comments, "Yeah, you're always looking after us. It's time that you look after yourself now, Shiro." The Black Paladin sighs, wiping his eyes. He was tired, but he needed to be here when she woke up. He needed to be the first to talk to her.

Allura crosses her arms, standing in front of the control pad. She announces, "Voltron. Hear this. Y/N will be at full health in approximately two quintants. Not much longer." Shiro stands up straighter, turning around to Y/N's resting body. She looked at peace. Hunk speaks up, "I'm gonna' start on lunch. Meet in the kitchen in about an hour or so." Pidge, Lance and Hunk begin moving out, Coran and Allura going off to start some tests on the ship. Keith turns around to Shiro, sighing, "She'll be out soon. Just get some rest before you see her." He nods, watching the young Paladin walk out.

He places a hand on the healing pod. "Two days. Just two days to go."

Two Days Later . . .

Shiro had slept in a full day. A full day. He really needed that rest.

"Where is he?" Allura asks, checking Y/N's timer. She only had 90 ticks to go until she was supposed to come out. Lance rubs his neck as he yawns, "Dude, he's been waiting for so long. We literally argued with him to get some rest. Now, everybody is here except for him." Keith swivels his body towards the Blue Paladin and scowls, "Give him a break. He hasn't slept in days, this is the first time his head has hit a pillow in the past 120 hours." Lance shoes away, crossed arms and lifted shoulders. He hadn't meant to act rude, he was just wondering why he wasn't here yet. That's all. Pidge nods her head, exclaiming, "He's right. I don't know how he's surviving this, but Shiro's sleeping schedule from the last month has shown a drastic change. Look."

She brings up a screen, providing and outlook on the matter at hand. "He went from having 6 hours and 21 minutes, seven days a week, to only having 3 hours and 13 minutes. And that's from the last two weeks." Lance gasps quietly, hand over his mouth. He turns to Y/N's pod, her body still. "Man... she must really mean a lot to him to have sacrificed all that time." Everybody nodded in agreement. It was evident, his passion for Y/N. Hunk sighs, hands on his hips, "You should've heard the way he talked about her. It was all so lovey-dovey and cute. Like they can't get enough of each other." Coran then chuckles, leaning against the control panel, "Well, that's what happens when you're in love. You can't stop thinking or talking about them whenever there's a chance."
