Pre-Waypoint End idk day 38 or something

[shiro2hero]

(Can... we talk about something?)

[There's a pause. A hesitant sort of silence. Edged in embarrassment.]

(It's not as bad as it sounds, I swear.)

yaaas

[cognitived]

[ Curious, immediate. ]

( Yeah, go ahead. What's up? )

[shiro2hero]

(Okay. This is... really...)

[The sense of him dragging his hands down his face.]

(You probably already. Know. But... I owe it to you to say it to your face. So to speak.)

(Me... and Sam.)

(Did you know?)

[cognitived]

[ There's a pause, and then a definite burst of amusement. Probably all the answer Shiro needs, but still. ]

( Yeah, I knew. )

[ SORRY KIDDO ]

[shiro2hero]

[The feeling on his end is something along the lines of a rushed oh thank god. Relief. Definite relief.]

(Okay. Okay that's. Good. No surprises then.)

[Wait.]

(What's so funny?)

[cognitived]

( You didn't really need to worry over it. )

[ V casual. There's a pause, brief, and then with a faint edge of apology. ]

( Sam and I don't really have shields. )

[shiro2hero]

(Okay, that's good to --)

[It's almost like a record screeching.]

(You. Don't. What.)

[cognitived]

( Yeaahhhhh )

[ w h o o p s ]

( No secrets here, sorry. )

[shiro2hero]

(I...)

[Oh my god. Oh space lion jesus.]

(Am... so sorry.)

[cognitived]

[ ??? The mental impression of a shrug. ]

( Don't have to apologize, it's just sex. )

[ guess who is totally unconcerned!!! ]

[shiro2hero]

(It's -- just a personal thing. I mean. People aren't ... we aren't...)

[Even in the mental link he's scrambling for words. Because he is a pretty private person. In this area.]

[cognitived]

[ Whoops ok backtracking. ]

( Nah, I get you. Don't worry 'bout it, I'll put up more shields next time. )

[ Not ???? really helping ?? but an attempt. ]

[shiro2hero]

[His life. Is A Mess.]

(And... so will I. So many more.)

[Please end him.]

(Please don't... spread it around for now. I mean. I don't think you're the kind of guy to do that. But -- still.)

[cognitived]

[ Team Hot Mess reporting for duty, or something. ]

( Don't worry, I'll keep it to myself. )

[ Clint, perhaps more than anyone, knows what it's like to keep your personal life secret. But please don't go to his level -- keeping a secret wife and kids and farm is beyond extra. ]

[shiro2hero]

(I appreciate this. That. Everything.)

[This is not Shiro at his best. This is him at his most embarrassed and trying to regain some kind of composure.]

[His kids are the defenders of the goddamn universe they're not even remotely a secret]

[cognitived]

( You got it. )

[ Lord help him but it's kinda adorable. Casually trying not to laugh at his poor flustered broodmate, #winning. ]

[shiro2hero]

[He is not adorable he is the terrifying and super tough and composed Head of Voltron okay.]

[cognitived]

[ Getting pouty doesn't really help his case ??? ]

[shiro2hero]

[WHO'S POUTING.]
