The story how Birdflash met Voltron (Klance and obviously birdflash rewrite)

Chapter 2 (Rewritten)

The last three days were really stressful. Lotor had not let him out of the room and he wasn't even sure what he did now wrong. This was why he was curled into a ball in the corner trying not to think of the fact that he was not seeing anything but blackness.

This triggered him a lot and he was pretty sure that he regressed rather quickly. His body shivered, tremors went through him. Thinking about this place made him think of his reactions to loud, sudden noises and sudden movements and touch too.

He always flinches and fidgets another fact was that he just couldn't talk without the stutters. He just was terrified of what Lotor would do. Maybe this was why he regresses to make the male lenient, what the other indeed had done. It was something that his subconscious realized.

That was why he probably was whenever the other was pissed regressing and being submitting himself to make sure that he wouldn't get punished for just breathing.

At some point, he fell asleep and when waking up he realized that he was hugged like a teddy bear and the familiar voice of Lotor ranting about him not being like his father. A thing that was often ranted on. The male even at some point noted how thin he was and asking him about it. But he always told the other that he ate, which was half-truths.

His body subconsciously flinched and not liking the touch yet at some point he relaxed knowing that he wouldn't be able to leave. This was why he was quiet the entire time. At least he got some cuddles out of it and even when it was messed up he couldn't help but like the affection even when this person was the one who had caused the pain.

That affection that he needed desperately but never could ask for. Not when Lotor was the one who could harm him. So that he decided not to mention it ever.

It had been around a week after that day and talking to Kolivan n the evening. That he wanted nothing more than having someone to talk to. There was just so much stress and he needed to contact anyone. Who it would be was not mattering to him at all. .

Swallowing he picked the communicator. Richard had not even one clue what he has done wrong. As Kolivan would normally pick up it rather quickly. So when it was not working after a few seconds he decided to turn it off. But it was exactly at this moment that it was received.

On the other side, he could see a person's hologram that looked nothing like Kolivan. The teen looked around 17 years old and had dark violet eyes. Pale skin and a mullet hair cut. This person looked like a human and nothing like what the Galra's looking like. They were pretty and he couldn't get something out for a few seconds, as the shock that a stranger picked up was a bit too startling to him.

"Um..." He swallowed once more, flushing deeply as realizing that this was the wrong person. God, he was so screwed.

"Do you need help?" The voice was soothing yet also concern and alert. It was the same voice that he heard with Voltron that day. Leading him to realize that this must be one of Voltron.

"I- Well I dun think that yo-you will be ab-able to hal-help me..." He timidly stuttered it out and feeling the anxiousness creep up. It was not helping the nervousness when seeing that the male was looking even more concerned.

"Wait aren't you the person that helped us out that Day, Richard was it?" The tone was soft yet the same soothing tone was used. It was helping him to feel a bit more at ease yet also led to him feel a shyness come up.

"Mhm, ya tha-that was me..." He timidly yet proudly answered and how couldn't he? Not when he had helped them out. It was one of the last times that he managed to do something to help and not just giving information.

"So what is it that you called and can it be that you know Shiro?" The tone was curious now and the mentioning of Shiro made him perk up.

"You-You know Shi-Shi?" The familiar nickname slipped out without even him wanting to and his curiosity was perked up with this.

"Well he did mention someone often to me who had been stuck with him and I am guessing from your reaction and how you called him that you are him Oh and before I forget it, names Keith." The tone was amusement but also a fondness that was surprising him. It was not expected. Leading him to have his cheeks slowly heat up more. He realized that he had not known the name of this person but now that he knew he was glad about this.

"Pl-Please tell me, Shi-Shiro ha-has not said some-something embarrassing." A whining embarrassing undertone was what made the other snort and the amusement was showing that Shiro had indeed told some embarrassing things about him.

"When you mean with embarrassing a cute cinnamon roll then yes and I have to agree with Shiro." The teasing smirk was not helping his shyness yet he felt better now.

"I-Um... Where is he now?" He couldn't help but ask. As he needed to know. The same thing that he was needing to know about Wally.

"He's with us so no worries and also we found your best friend." The tone was a small smile now and he couldn't help but feel his relief grow now.

Both Wally his best friend and his big brother figure/ yet also second father figure was safe. The relief was that much that his body relaxed with a sigh and a beaming smile was given.

"Thank god they are safe. I-I-I was wo-worried..." He swallowed as trying to hold his emotions in check but not easy when hearing that the people who he cared were finally safe or as safe as it could be.

"I can give you the two when you want to." The suggestion was said softly yet the expression showed that he was knowing how it was. The knowing look that he received made him know that the other had known Shiro or that was what he assumed.

"Maybe la-later...Um you know how it is don't you?"

"You mean with Shiro?" The tone was tense and he knew that he had been hitting it straight home. Leading for him to nod.

"Yes, I do and he was the one who helped me when having caused issues in Garrison. Without him, I wouldn't have been here right now."

He felt what Keith had told him as Shiro had been helped him when he had been forced to fight and getting hurt by the experiments. It was him that made Richard feel better. Without Shiro, he wouldn't have been getting through this and even now it had been his hope to meet Shiro again to make him continue.

Obviously as well hope to get back home and seeing Wally again.

"Sa-Same Shi-Shi was the one who hel-helped me when I wa-was alone..." He mumbled as playing with his sleeves. A nervous habit that started.

"Seems like Shiro just has a knack at finding and helping us, huh?" The tone was teasing and he felt his lips twitch up.

"Mhm see-seems like it.." He softly replied and the two soon were interrupted by Lance. But sadly he had to turn off the communicator as hearing some footsteps approaching. At least he felt better yet also felt his homesickness grow more.

There was also the urge to harm himself that slowly was getting worse. At first, he had not realized what he was doing. It was subconsciously done until at some point he realized that he had scratched his wrists to make them feel pain.

God, he really knew how screwed he was with this and he hoped that he wouldn't end up the suicidal route. There were people who cared for him after all...
