Shiro was heading back to the academy, its been two months since the last pratice game of the school year was held. He was worried, NO, he was a mess after seeing the rest of the team tag up against Pidge blaming the guy and hearing what the teachers said afterwards when they didnt notice him standing behind. Summer holiday was meant to be a fun six weeks but for Shiro it was a living hell. He couldn't get pidge off his mind and he wondered if the pitcher was still alive. He knew the glara academy could badly injure someone and get away with it without ever be blaming for the damage. 

Shiro did walk past the galra academy weekly during his holiday to see if he could see the pitcher but the school was closed down only t he students not returning home was left in the dorms but even then the main school was locked up meaning the boy wouldnt even be able to play even if he wanted too. 

Shiro felt bad for his mother, he did visit her during the first week but he couldn't focus on her since he was worried for the galra pitcher. He knew they were rivals but the guy never played dirty and only used his own skill during a game. He even tried to stop his team members from fighting before or after a game showing he was a good guy. Shiro just wanted to know if he was ok or not.

He turned the corner from Altean academy after popping to the shop in the city but froze as he notice a figure weakly leaning on a street lamp. It was around six in the evening and while it was summer the nights were cold still making Shiro rush over to check the figure wasn't dead.

"Pidge" Shiro whispered in shock as he looked to her, she was beaten up without mercy and clearly keeping pressure of her leg. 

"Takashi" She weakly spoke before leaning towards I'm and passing out. 

Shiro held his hands out freezing as he felt her chest a little before pulling his hands out leaving her barely standing just leaning into his chest. Shiro calmed his breathing down just shaking his thoughts away from what he thought he just felt before picking the 'boy' up and heading towards his dorm room. 

Shiro laid pidge down on his roommates bed before grabbing the first aid kit and wet wipes. He pulled the bin closer to the bin before sitting on the edge beside Pidge and cleaning up her bloody nose and lip. Using a wet wipe over her black eye to clean it a little and clean off any other smudges of dirt on her face. 

"Please be a dude so I dont seem like a pervert" Shiro mutter as he placed a cold pack beside her while reaching for her top, slowly lifted her arms to lay above her head making it easier to pull of her polo top so he can see how bad the bruising is on her ribs and stomach. 

Shiro closed his eyes and pulled the top off gently but quickly before feeling for the cold pack, slowly opening one eye before closing it tightly.

"My mother so gonna kill me and the guys will see me as a perv .. heck she gonna think I'm a creep .. I should call for a nurse ah but the nurse is on holiday break. Clam down shiro, your not looking at her becuase your a horn dog but because you need to check on her wounds. Its total legal ... right" Shiro mumbled to himself as he slowly opened his eyes looking to pidge and blushed.

"Yep he is a she ... I'm going to hell" Shiro sighed as he glanced to her sports bra before frowning at the growing bruise on her stomach before placing the cool pack over the bruise in hopes to stop the smelling.

"Sorry" Shiro mutter as pidge tensed from the sudden coldness. 

Shiro stood up pulling his roommate Keith cover from under her before covering her leaving her to sleep. He glanced to her once more before walking over to her wardrobe and grabbed spare clothes she could use when she wakes up. 

Morning came and Pidge woke up in a panic and the unfamiliar room. She groaned in pain from sitting up too quick before glancing to the side noticing someone sleeping in the other bed. She pulled the cover off before freezing as she notice herself just in her trousers and sports bra. She let a breath of relief when she saw the ice pack and notice a couple plaster over her small cuts showing she was just treated. She jumped out the bed seeing a pile of clothes by the bed and picked them up before entering the joint bathroom. 

"Urg, I look like shit" Pidge mumbled as she looked into the mirror over the sink before glancing to the shower.

"Well, a sleeping guy wouldnt mind" Pidge told herself before locking the bathroom door and jumping in the shower cleaning up a little better unknown to Shiro starting to wake up. 

Pidge finished showering within in fifteen minutes and dried herself off before putting the clothes on shiro passed over. Well she stopped as she notice a pair of male boxes within the pile of clothes and wasn't sure if she should risk it or use her yesterday ones. 

"they clean" A voice spoke out making Pidge tense.

"How did you" Pidge started to ask before wondering if there was a hidden camra.

"I had a feeling" He replied and she gave a slight nod before placing them up and finish getting dressed. She walked out seeing shiro in fresh clothes himself and notice him glance to her own pile of clothes. 

"Sorry for undressing you" Shiro sighed with a slight blush over his cheeks.

"Its cool, you were just trying to patch me up not knowing I was a girl. But will you tell on me" Pidge replied with worry.

"No, I'm sure you have your reason for hiding your gender" Shiro answered making her smile.

"Thanks, mind if the put these in your bin. They stained and ripped" Pidge asked as she lifted her hands showing her clothes.

"Sure but um wont you need that" Shiro asked with worry as he notice her sports bra in the pile while she threw them in the almost fall bin.

"Its stained and well it was getting small for me anyway. I planned to go shopping today anyway" Pidge explained.

"Will you tell me how you ended up almost half dead on the street" Shiro spoke up as he looked to her while she sat on the edge of Keith bed. 

"The guys returned from their summer holidays and well Lotor doesn't return till tomorrow so they took their chance in making me wish I was dead. I was lucky I escape before they broke anything but I guess I wont be playing baseball with them this year" Pidge sighed and looked to her feet.

"Was that the reason you stayed with galra" Shiro asked and Pidge nodded.

"I want to play baseball and become pro one day but the real me wasn't allowed but Pidge can. Or he could till last night, I guess I really should just give up" Pidge frowned and held back her tears.

"Why not join up Altea baseball team, We really could use you" Shiro asked with a small smile shocking her.

"You want me to join but I'm a girl, if the higher ups find out then you could get in trouble for helping me" Pidge replied with worry.

"Worth it if you can play baseball without feat, I told you we share the same love for baseball and well I need you on my team" Shiro smiled gently.

"Thank you but how do I sign up before the end of summer" Pidge replied and Shiro smirked.

"Let me just talk with my coach, go get your things and any shopping you'll need before meeting me outside the school" Shiro grinned and Pidge nodded before the two left.
