"I love the way you love me" She began, his eyes widened as she spoke. "It's hard to explain beyond that." she admitted with a sheepish smile.
"But it's true." the woman coughed painfully, blood drops splattering onto his chin. "The thought of losing you, of watching all of you die before me, was worth….the cost…"
"That wasn't for you to decide!" Pidge cried out coming up behind Shiro and the woman. "I thought we were a family! How could you think that this was worth the cost of your life?!" her tears dripped onto the other woman's face.
"Pidge...I..!"
"She's right, this was selfish of you!" Keith spoke up, he limped in with is arm over Lance's shoulder.
"Yeah how could you just assume we'd be happier without you!" even Lance was pissed off.
"Guys go easy on her, we didn't exactly make her think any different!" Hunk finally chimed in as Allura and Coran made it in as well.
"Listen… We thought we were protecting you, we thought by pushing you away, you'd be safe. That was wrong, and it clearly just made you feel hurt. None of us ever meant for this to happen." Shiro's words were firm though his voice wavered as he held his dying lover in his arms.
"Do you guys…..you…?"
"We lied about not wanting you here, if we could go back, if we could do this again, I swear we'd do it differently!"
The woman seemed to think on his statement.
"Then...There is...one last thing...I can do…" she seemed hesitant but ultimately reached up with a shaking arm.
"If you guys can….keep your promise…..then….by the time you find me again...we can…." her voice faded and bright light flooded the room, blinding everyone.
