i guess so
i'm trying



it's seriously amazing that you all put up with me when i'm like this

[shiro2hero]

I know you are.
We all know you are.

Pidge

Come on. You should know it's not 'putting up' with you.

You're family

[pidge_out]

i could be better, though

like i could just accept that i have all these dumb feelings
(without calling them dumb)

and i should be way more honest about them or whatever

you guys deserve that from me
you're all so SO important to me and i just don't want anyone thinking they're not

[shiro2hero]

So could I, Pidge.
So could Lance. And Matt. And Armin and Jean and Sasha and Ford and --

[He'll pause there. And let his point sink in. Hopefully -- that they ALL could be better in some capacity. But it clearly doesn't matter. Because they're family.]

And a lot of us should be more honest about things. I think... sometimes we keep them quiet to protect each other.

We know we're important to you. That's never been in question. We can tell.

[As she reads that message, she snuggles in closer against Lance's side. If Hunk notices, he doesn't say anything about it. So she feels a bit like she's in the clear on that.]

yeah
hunk makes it look so easy to do

but i'm glad no one thinks i don't care about them

[shiro2hero]

Hunk's always been good at telling people his heart. It's... a really admirable thing, I think.

Pidge, I don't know how anyone could know you, and not think you cared.

[pidge_out]

it is

[It's one of the things she likes so much about him. She'll always know where she stands with him, no matter what.]



thanks, shiro. not totally sure how it's that obvious, but thanks

[shiro2hero]

Probably because we know you don't threaten to kill for people you don't care about

[Please laugh, Pidge. He's trying.]

[pidge_out]

[...Okay, he's kind of got her there. She smiles at her 'gear, even if Shiro can't see it.]

but i also threaten to kill the people i do care about
usually when they do something dumb

[shiro2hero]

And there we go.

That's also how we know you care.

[pidge_out]

gross. i have a tell

[shiro2hero]

You do.

But that's okay. I'll keep it to myself.

[pidge_out]

mm thanks, shiro

[shiro2hero]

Any time, Pidge.
