So I just recently got into Voltron and I have to say it's a good show. When I came to the episode when Paladins come home, I thought it was sad that Shiro never had a chance to see Adam.
So this is my take on what could have happened if Adam had survived and got to reunite with Shiro.
"Adam"
The pilot turned around and saw Sam Holt come towards him.
"Something wrong sir?"
"We just got a message from my daughter.
-They're on their way home"
Adam's eyes widened slightly at hearing that.
When Sam had returned, he had been meet by shocked faces since he was thought to be dead.
He had told them everything. About the Galra empire who kidnapped him, how he was forced to work with other prisoners and how his daughter and her friends were defending the universe.
Flashback.
"So who are the individuals besides your daughter, Admiral Sanda had asked"
"Cadets Hunk and Lance as well as former cadet Keith.
-And then there's Shiro"
Adam couldn't believe his ears at hearing that Shiro was alive and fighting out in space.
"These five are together protecting the universe as the Paladins of Voltron.
-They're doing everything they can to protect other planets and worlds from the Galra Empire and we should ready ourselves in case those aliens come here"
"Is there a chance they will come here, Adam asked"
"I don't know but the Galra has conqured worlds for thousands of years. But if they come here then the Paladins will as well since this is their home and wouldn't want the Galra to destroy it"
End Flashback.
That had been four years ago and they were now getting info about the Paladins coming to earth.
"You okay, Sam asked"
"Yes. Don't worry sir"
Sam got this understanding look on his face and placed a hand on Adam's shoulder.
"You've missed Shiro a lot haven't you?"
"More than you think.
-Even though I told him that he shouldn't expect me to wait for him, I can't help but miss him"
"I guess your feelings for him remained even though you told him that before we left for Kerberos.
-And in a few days, you'll see him and can tell him how much you've missed him"
"Yes"
A few days later.
Adam stood next to Sam and his wife as well as other officers and the families of the Paladins.
Two vehicles then drove through the gate and stopped a bit from them.
Sam's daughter, Katie or Pidge as her name was among the Paladins jumped into her mother's arms as soon as she got out. Sam knelt next to them, hugging his wife and daughter.
Lance, the younger brother of fellow officer Veronica then got out and ran up to his family who all embraced him.
Adam then noticed Keith looking at him and he couldn't help but notice that the young man had grown and seemed more mature than the last time he saw him.
"Hello Keith"
"Good to see you again Adam"
The two exchanged a quick hug before a blue wolf appeared next to them.
"Who's this?"
"His name is Cosmo. I found him during a mission and he's been by my side ever since"
The wolf looked at Adam before he nuzzled his face against him.
"He likes you"
"That's good to know"
Keith then looked towards the other vehicle.
"Shiro is over there"
Adam looked and saw Shiro help a woman down from the vehicle.
His hair was white, a scar ran across his nose and his right arm was missing.
"What happened to him?"
"It's a long story that he and I can tell you later.
-Go over there. I know he's missed you"
Adam nodded and began to walk over to the other vehicle.
"And Adam..."
He looked over his shoulder at Keith who actually had a slight smirk on his face.
"Told you he was alive"
"That you did"
How could he forget. Before Keith had been kicked out, he had told Adam that Shiro had to be alive out there since he was a skilled pilot and wouldn't make an error like that.
He then walked over to were Shiro was talking to Iverson along with the three aliens, Alteans he believed Sam had called them.
He felt a lump build up in his throat as he thought of what to say.
"Takashi..."
Shiro turned around and a big smile spread over his face.
"Adam"
As Iverson and the three Alteans took their leave, Adam put his arms around Shiro who hugged him back the best he could with his one arm.
"I thought you said you wouldn't wait for me"
"Even though I said that, my feelings for you remained. When we were told you might be dead, I didn't know what to do but then Same returned and told us you were alive.
-I've missed you so much Takashi"
"And I've missed you"
Adam let go and looked into Shiro's eyes before their lips meet.
When they stepped away, Adam looked at Shiro's missing arm.
"What happened to you out there?"
"It's a long story. I promise that I'll tell you later
-Right now, I'm just glad to finally be home and with you"
A few hours later.
The meeting had just finished and while the other Paladins went to be with their families, Keith and Shiro as well as Cosmo followed Adam to his office so they could talk.
"So what happened during the years you were away?"
They told him everything. From Shiro's kidnapping up until his disappearance after the battle with Zarkon.
"I died during the battle but the Black Lion saved my consciousness somehow. I was in the astral plane for I don't know how long.
-Then Zarkon's high priestess Haggar sent a clone of me to the others"
"We believed it was the real Shiro but then, I saw him in the astral plane and he told me what happened in the battle with Zarkon.
-I fought the clone and after we defeated Lotor, the Prince of the Galra empire, Allura took Shiro's consciousness from the Black Lion and put it in the clone's body"
Keith then pointed at Shiro's hair.
"That's how that happened"
"I had to fight a bit for the body to accept me but it did and here I am"
"Then we made our way home"
It was a lot of info for Adam to take in but he was happy that the man he loved was here in front of him.
"So... do you wanna meet the other Paladins, Shiro asked"
"Sure"
"Let's go find them then"
"I'm pretty sure Hunk is in the kitchen, said Keith
-He's been talking about earth food for I don't know how long"
So they made their way to the kitchen and found not only Hunk but the other Paladins as well.
"Hey Shiro, Keith, there you are, said Lance"
"Were have you been, Allura asked"
"Just explaining a few things to a certain someone, said Keith"
The group then noticed Adam behind them.
"Adam these are the Paladins of Voltron, said Shiro
-Our Red Paladin, Lance"
"Sup"
"Pidge over there is the Green Paladin"
"Hi"
"Hunk is the Yellow Paladin"
"Hello"
"And Princess Allura, our current Blue Paladin"
"Pleasure to meet you"
"Current Blue Paladin, said Adam"
"Lance used to be the Blue Paladin and I used to be Red, Keith explained
-During the time Shiro was gone, we needed someone to pilot the Black Lion and it choose me. So I became the Black Paladin"
"Then Red choose me as his new Paladin and Blue choose Allura, said Lance"
"I see.
-It's nice to meet all of you"
The group all smiled at him.
"Adam here happens to be Shiro's boyfriend, said Keith"
"Fiancé, the two corrected"
They then saw that Lance had a look on his face similar to when he found out Pidge was a girl.
"Wait a minute. Does that mean Shiro is..."
"Gay.
-That's right Lance"
"I never expected that from a guy like you"
"And you're supposed to be the one who knows love the most of us, Pidge teased"
"As if you knew!"
"I did. Matt is a friend of Shiro's remember. So I heard it from him"
The others all laughed at the Red Paladin as the trio sat down with them.
"I guess this means we have one more member of our family, said Hunk as he put down a tray of cookies"
"Family, Adam said and raised an eyebrow"
"During our four years together in space, we have pretty much become a family, Shiro explained"
"And since you're Shiro's fiancé, you're pretty much family as well, said Pidge"
The group then began to tell Adam about their adventures in space and all the different aliens they had meet and befriended along the way.
They couldn't help but laugh at the shiver that went through Shiro when they mentioned a certain engineer.*
