[shiro2hero]

[So does he. For all their sakes.]

We will.
I'm not leaving again until he's back.


I think Blue's down there with you three, too.

[pidge_out]

[She starts to type out "I'm not leaving his room til he wakes up", but then deletes it. That's gross and mushy. She can leave thoughts like that to herself (and probably to Hunk, because he'll get it).]

good


..oh. i thought i saw something duck under the bed earlier, so i guess that explains that

[shiro2hero]

[It's okay, Pidge. Shiro already kind of figured that was the case. Contrary to what you say, you care about people with your whole heart.]

Yeah.
He's a Gallade. A blue one. So... don't worry if you see him lurking around.

Lance is his hero.

[pidge_out]

oh, i knew i'd seen him before. makes sense now.



i don't mind him staying here with us. we can watch him too

[shiro2hero]

You don't have to. He pretty much looks after himself.

But... if he starts bothering you, you can shoo him out.

[pidge_out]

it's fine. i really don't mind i know hunk will wanna feed him and stuff if he has to

[shiro2hero]

I know he will

But you guys have enough to deal with, without Blue adding to it.

[pidge_out]

it's really ok, shiro

he just misses lance

[shiro2hero]

You know it's

It's okay if it isn't okay. You guys have said that to me, enough times.

[pidge_out]

i know

i mean like
i guess i'm not really OKAY okay right now
but i will be
we will be

[shiro2hero]

You don't have to be.

We will be, you're right... but you don't have to be, right now.

That's why you have the rest of us.

[pidge_out]

i know
and thank you for that





it's just weird to miss him like this

[shiro2hero]

He's...

the first person you've ever had feelings for, right?

[He could be wrong, but he really doesn't think so.]

[pidge_out]

him and hunk, technically speaking

it's-
i'm pretty sure it's the first time it's felt like this

[shiro2hero]

Then... it's likely that's why it's weird for you. To feel this way.

Missing someone like this is

It takes getting used to. Even when you know they're coming back.

[pidge_out]

it's not even like he's gone though

i mean he's right here with us

it just makes me feel stupid for it

[shiro2hero]

He's physically here.

But he's not... aware. He's not able to talk to you. Or wake up yet.



It's okay, Pidge. It's not abnormal to feel that way.

[pidge_out]

maybe not, but it's stupid feelings are stupid

[shiro2hero]

No, they're not.

Would you tell me my feelings were "gross"?

[pidge_out]

ok, no, your feelings aren't gross or stupid

MY feelings are gross and stupid

[shiro2hero]

If mine aren't


why would yours be?

[pidge_out]

because they're mine




shiro this is really new to me, ok

[shiro2hero]

I know. I know. But trust me?

It's not ... NOT normal. To feel this way. It's okay you do. Just... know you're not weird for feeling it.

[pidge_out]

uuuuuugggghhhh it still makes me feel stupid

but i get it, i guess

hunk's so much better at this than i am

[shiro2hero]

Hey

If you were better at this, you wouldn't be you.

We're not expecting you to be perfect - you talking about how you feel right now is a great start.

[Says the man who doesn't ... do that.]
