Third Person P.O.V
Location: Castle of Lions, ???pm

Everyone was in the living room talking. Y/n walked in as he also slowly opened the door and quietly stood next to Keith who was leaning against the wall.

"Hey Keith what's going on?"
"Alina decided to tell us everything."
"Everything?"
"Yeah about how she ended up with you and on Xander."
"Hm............Keith."
"Yeah?"
"You're a great kid, just know that. Everyone here will support you."
".....Thanks."

Keith was confused on why Y/n said that but was glad he did for some reason.

Alina was explaining everything to them, she explained on how she was one of the few Aedians alive.

Zarkon had realized that the Aedians were one of the only planets that could have stood a chance on actually taking down the galra other than Voltron. So Zarkon a week before Y/n had escaped, had decided to eliminate her species. They gathered every Aedians up in a big group and killed them, but her mother and father didn't want their daughter to die so her mother scarified herself while Alina's father was captured and somewhere in space.

Alina only escaped because she sneaked into a ship that was heading to a planet called Argor. But the galra chased her down until she got to the planet Xander and ran into Y/n.

"And I'm glad I found Y/n." Alina said looking up from the floor with tears in her eyes. Y/n smiled at her and sat next to her.

"Y/n?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you gonna tell them?"
"............"

"Tell us what?" Allura asked as she placed one hand on her knee and one hand on her chin.

"I guess it's my turn to tell the truth, I hate this....." Y/n sighed as he looked down. Alina smiled at him and grabbed his hand to comfort him.

Y/n then went on to explain that he came from Earth like the Paladins, but he was raised in a underground government base. He's been their since birth, he barely got to see his parents so the soldiers/agents raised him as a weapon. They experimented on him at such a young age, Y/n was never able to find out what those tests had actually done to his body.

All Y/n knew was that the experiments gave him abilities but he didn't know how to activate them. Plus all he knew was that it helped him during battles. Around his early twenties Y/n was sold to the galra to save the Earth, he spent 3 years with the Galra. Either as Zarkon's right hand man or as a prisoner, there was no in between.

Y/n then got into the details on what he did with the Galra. For his first year, he was Zarkon's right hand man, he would patrol the command ship and sometimes help capture planets. Towards the end of his first year he was put in charge of the prisoners who would fight in the arenas.

His second year was when he became a mercenary/bodyguard for Zarkon's son but Y/n didn't say this to the team, all he told them was "I was turned into a bodyguard for Galra of the highest order."

Y/n lost this position by trying to make multiple escape attempts. The crew Y/n was working for had ratted him out which caused him to become a prisoner and get tortured. Due this torture they decided to give Y/n to Sendak for the hell of it because Y/n had no use in the command ship.

It took him 3 years to actually find the courage to escape the galra. It was during the time Sendak was visiting the Command Ship for a few days which gave Y/n time to make a plan. After leaving the Galra it only took a few days maybe a week until he ran into Alina which then lead them here.

No one said anything for the first few minutes once Y/n finished, they were all speechless. Most of them didn't know how to feel.

"Did you ever meet or hurt my brother?" Pidge asked as she broke the silence.

"Pidge, during my time in command I never ordered any of my men to hurt nor kill the people I was in charge of."
"Thanks for the reassurance, Y/n. But is he alive?"
"My only answer is yes, when I escaped I remember hearing multiple people escape the Command Ship, he could've been one of those people."

More silence went by again before Shiro got up from his seat. "Y/n, get up." Was the only thing Shiro said. Y/n did as he was told expecting to get lectured or even kicked out. And so was Keith, Keith expected Shiro to attack Y/n. When Shiro moved closer to
Y/n, Keith panicked. Keith got up from the wall he leaning on and was about to run to break them up.

"Shiro n-!" Before Keith finished what he was saying Shiro, instead of going to attack just hugged Y/n.

"I'm glad you told us." Shiro tried reassuring him since he was one of the only people that could understand his feelings.

"....I'm glad you accepted me." Y/n didn't know how to react but to hug back.

Time- 11pm

It was late in the night and everyone were in their separate rooms while Shiro, Y/n and Alina were in the living room.

Alina was the only one sleeping, Y/n and Shiro were talking. Y/n had one hand on Alina's shoulder since she was resting her head on his lap.

"So you were in charge of the prisoners?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. Why are you asking?"
"I remember seeing a guy during my days with the Galra, this man always had on a galra stealth suit with a helmet that would cover his face."
"Oh, go on?"
"I was told that this mystery man was gonna be in charge of me and a few other prisoners, and with the story you told us I have a suspicion that the mystery man....was you."

Y/n just chuckled while looking at Shiro, Shiro smiled softly.

"Maybe that was me." Y/n said smirking as he broke eye contact with Shiro.

Shiro's face turned somewhat pink finally knowing that the man he'd always wanted to see or always had questions about was sitting right next to him. Shiro just smiled as Y/n put his head on Shiro's shoulder and started to fall asleep.

"Goodnight......Champion....."
"Night Bargain."

(A/n-
Dear Everyone,

Hi, how are you? Good, good. I wanted to say, the other chapter I'm working on might be 3000 words.....so yay? It's good one and I'm really proud of because I thought of it at 3 am and thought the idea was good. After that chapter your normal based on Episode chapters are coming back so no worries! I also have been playing a lot of Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection and Apex Legends so blame them for the late updates. You also might see some Uncharted Easter eggs.

Love,
Lance)
