WE HOME BUT NOT THE SAME 

Tonight was the party for all the paladins and rebels for winning the war. It was held on earth at the base and everyone was partying and drinking like crazy. The paladins and matt was finally home and free once more. Something they all dreamed about but never thought would happen. 

They all stood around the ball room as the music and cheers  blocked out any other sound. But a certain seven wasn't laughing or smiling like the others. They been fighting for so long, they forgot about acting like normal teens or young adults. They forgot how to act so innocent and pure. 

The wine opening pop sound making them jump and made them think back. It sound just like Hunk gun and the Galra canons during their battle on Balmera. This made Hunk feel sick and scared. He remember the galra he shot and the Balmera people bodies laying on the ground from the galra canons. He was the first to leave the room holding back his tears. 

Then the DJ did a give it up for the rebels and paladins before doing a small joke. This made them all remember the small banter over the coms before a battle. The joke and laughs over the coms from the rebels who tired to burn the paladins but never came back home after the battle. The rebels that died and was left floating in space becuase it was too dangerous to go back. This made Matt feel sick and had to run out the room before he broke down crying over his lost friends that he never hear joke around again. 

The cheers from the huge crowd was the next problem. The cheers soon turned into screams. They all remember the screams of the dying and the helpless. They remember the begging and cries from both sides before they die or was left to bleed out. The screams of those who couldn't be saved. This made Shiro feel sick and he left before he screamed and cried over how many dead still hunted the team each day. 

The food got to lance next. The last three tasted some trying to move away from such thoughts but the food hit hard. Food they dreamed and wish to eat for so long only made them want to cry. The food kept them all smiling and laughing when eating space goo and yet the food now tasted bitter. Food that they promised so many others to try over the coms during battles or rescue missions and how hardly of them will ever taste them now. Tears left lance eyes and he nearly bought the food back up making him leave the room why he could. 

Pidge and keith tried staying strong, they were finally home and the war hunted them both but they didnt want to lose not now. Pidge let keith take her hand in his and they leaned on the wall wishing for the party to end already. They wouldn't let their tears full nor their pain show. The war was finally over and they were home. Peace was won and everyone was free once more. 

Then the speeches came, this done it for them both. The commanders and captains just talked about the brave fallen and how proud they were of those who fought and lived. They talked about the hardships everyone did and how they all should be proud of winning the war.

Pidge and keith wanted yell in anger, they wanted to cry the pain out. The hardship, they been fighting a lot longer then anyone else and kill so many more then anyone else on this planet. They couldn't be proud of such a nasty long war. They couldn't be called brave since they just wanted to hide away forever. Keith and Pidge gripped each other tighter trying to stay strong and not give up. Then they started showing photos, photos taken in space and on earth over the years. Tears fell from keith and pidges eyes as they watched. So many in the photos was no longer alive and some many happy moments during the war was shown. They wanted the photos to stop as they started to show photos of during battles remembering the paladins the horrors they did over and over again.   

Then keith saw the photo of a injured pidge walking out of her lion, he had no clue how she could even walk after the injuries she had. A look of defeat yet victory filled her eyes. Keith thought back on the day he thought he lost pidge. The time he screamed and cried as he held her body and ran to a healing pod. She was hit badly during a battle and her lion threw her out before crashing. No one else noticed pidge go down but him. He ran to her with fear and a little of him died once he saw her body. More tears fell his eye as he remember the moment.

Then pidge looked to the photo that came on showing her seeing a beaten up keith in his  blade of Marmora that covered in his blood and dirt. He was blowing up the base why voltron took care of the ships and canons on the ground. She remember how she ran over to him and hugged him thinking she lost him when he didnt answer her back in the coms. She remember that being their first kiss and tears left her eyes at the memory when she thought she lost the love of her life.

The two broken paladins looked to each other and knew they needed to leave before anyone notice how broken they looked. They never let go of the other hand as they walked away finding somewhere to hide for the night. To be alone from the reminders of the time in the wars. Keith knew he could stay brave as long as he had Pidge and she felt the same. 

They walked to his old shack and just cuddle each other all night, letting their pain pour out. They stayed in the other hold feeling safe and loved. 

The Paladins might have came home but they weren't the same.
