Who: Shiro and Pidge
When: 4/3
Where: Pidge's temple
What: Shiro worries about Pidge.


[ Admittedly, Shiro had been about to call the others for a little celebration. Nothing too fancy--he figures Pidge isn't the type to like elaborate get-togethers. Just... her friends, gifts, a cake. That had been before Pidge had texted him.

Lance is gone. And Pidge's temple must be so lonely without him.

He's quick to go, and he opens the door. He's juggling a boxed cake in one hand and a thermos of tea. Yukina perches on his shoulder. ]

Pidge? Where are you?

Hey.... It's better to let it out than keep it all bottled up. And I'm guessing you miss a lot of people who aren't here.

[ He pulls away a little, so he can look at her. He tries not to think about Keith leaving, next. It makes his heart contract. Because even if Keith doesn't remember him, not having his best friend here hurts so much more. ]

You don't ever have to apologize for being upset and letting that out.

[She nods, rubbing her eyes.]

There's so much we have to do back home, but we're stuck here... and people are leaving almost every day, and then new ones show up... what if Lance comes back? I don't think I can handle him coming back and not knowing who I am again.

[galrarm]

[ He puts his hands on her shoulders. ]

... I know it hurts to think about. But we can't dwell on what might happen. We'd get stuck thinking of all the things that could go wrong, and believe me... It's never a good thing to dwell on the worst outcomes.

[tinygreen]

Shiro... [She nods.] You're right... and Lance would hate me crying over him.

[galrarm]

It's okay to cry, Pidge. Sometimes, it just gets to be too much. Besides, I think he'd be more upset if you pushed down those feelings and ignored them.

[tinygreen]

I know. I just hate crying. People here aren't like you guys, they're not as accepting of me. If I cried in front of them, they'd just treat me like a weepy girl.
