Shiro walked down the halls of the castle as it was docked, for the night, everyone was sleep, he walked past the rec room to see Lance and hunk passed out with controllers on the floor. The tv was playing the menu screen music for the game. Shiro quietly walked over turned the game and tv off and tossed a blanket over them and left. He then walked out the rec room only to bump into Allura.

She grabbed him by the collar and slammed him to the wall

"it's me Shiro." He yelled. "what are you doing up so late?" she asked backing away. "Couldn't sleep, what about you?" Shiro said. "I've been in a sleep for ten thousand years the last thing I want to do is sleep" Allura said looking down at her feet. She sighed and started to walk off. Shiro looked at her knowing something was wrong it's been a few months since the Galra started to fight against each other. Other then that the galaxy's been peaceful.

Time skip

"wake up everyone 'Coran yelled into the castle's PA system. everyone came running up front "what's going on" pidge yelled wearing a green onesie.

"Galra!" Coran yelled "paladins get to your lions" Allura said still in her pajamas. They went to the lions when Shiro got to his it growled at him "it's me" he said

The black lion eyes glowed looking at him.

Meanwhile outside

"where's Shiro" Lance yelled blasting fighters "Shiro get out here now!" Hunk yelled slamming his lion into the Galra ship taking out the cannon.

"I can't the – "Shiro's com was then cut off "Coran see what's going on with Shiro "Allura yelled dogging a bomber fighter.

"on it Princess" Coran yelled he ran down to the black lion's hanger only to see two Shiro's one had dark yellow eyes

"Guys I see two of them" Coran said, "what two Shiro's your Joking." Lance said though the com system

"Which one's the real Shiro" Coran yelled looking at the two the yellowed Shiro turned its head a spin chilling smile was on his face

"Coran It's me" the Creepy Shiro said the other Shiro grabbed the yellowed eyed one and slammed him into a pillar.

"don't listen- "The 2 Shiro said the other Paladins then came to the hanger after the fight with the war ship.

"The yellow one" A said to herself knowing witch one she dashed with her spear and stabbed the fake one in the chest.

"all this time that was a fake Shiro" Hunk said Shiro then fell back he had a deep wound on his side Allura lifted him up with ease

Time skip

Shiro groaned opening his eyes. "you're up" Allura said standing up she cleared her throat "how are you feeling?" she asked.

Shiro sat up rubbing his head "I have a brain splitting headache." He responded with a slight chuckle.

"it's great to know that your okay." She said.

The next day

Shiro was sitting in his room wearing a pair of pants but no shirt, he kept clenching his robot hand trying to remember everything before he was taken.

"Shiro can I come in?" Allura asked "sure, let me put on a shirt" Shiro responded getting up off his bed when he did she opened the door seeing all the slash, and scar marks on his back. Shiro slid on a black and grey shirt he turned around to see the princess a dark shade of red. There was a long pause before Allura faked a cough.

"So, what did you want to say" Shiro said Allura didn't answer only walking away "what" Shiro thought wondering why she did that.

Allura walked down the castle halls her face still dark red

"You okay?" Pidge asked looking at Allura "I'm fine just Flustered "she said looking away from her.

"why?" Pidge asked, "I don't know I was going to talk to Shiro, he told me to come in I saw his shirtless and got flustered." Allura said now biting on her nails.

"Wait, Princess how did you know which Shiro was the right one?" Pidge asked Allura mumbled under her breath

"Their eyes where different, the real Shiro eyes are," she stopped feeling her face lit up.

"sounds like you have a crush on Shiro." Pidge said lifting an eyebrow "what no I don't have a crush on Shiro that's just- "she stopped

"admit it" Pidge said. Allura huffed and walked to her room locking the door behind her. She sighed sinking into the floor.

Biting her lip. Not knowing what to do.

Meanwhile in the rec area

Matt sat on the couch playing against Lance and Pidge while Coran sat cross legged one the couch.

"I don't get it" he said.

"Have anyone seen Allura" Shiro asked stepping into the doorway "she's in her room" Coran responded.

Shiro then walked down to her room

"you know Allura got a crush on Shiro "Pidge blurted out "WHAT" Lance and Matt yelled out

"you're lying" Lance said. "nope notice the way she could tell which Shiro was real and the one we trusted was a clone of him." Pidge said while she shot Lance and Matt's Avatar in the game.

"you cheated" Matt said ruffling Her hair. "who want cookies" Hunk came in holding up a tray of cookies

"Matt just know be careful when eating Hunk's cookies" Pidge remembering when they could use the cookies he backed as lenses' in the- "Pidge was cut off. "hey they were helpful?" Hunk said looking at her

"they were" She said Matt grabbed one off the tray and bit into it "I think you used salt instead of sugar" Matt spat the cookie out "aim at Lance next time" Coran said getting up to wipe his face off.

"I used sugar" Hunk said eating a cookie only to spit it out,

In Allura's room

She was sitting across her bed while Shiro was in a chair she had in her room.

"so, you became the new Blue paladin Keith took over my lion while I was gone" Shiro said recapping what she told him. "yes" she answered

Shiro grinned "I think you make a great paladin" Shiro said looking at her, she turned a shade of red trying not to look him in the eyes

"Guys Keith's back" Lance ran past her room door trying to get to the hanger where his ship landed. They both jumped up and ran to the hanger.

"Hey guys" Keith said wearing an all-black suit "so how's your training going" Allura clasped her hands together. "it's going great but Hagger's back "he said, "she found about the spies in her ranks" He said

"I need something's out of my room" Keith said walking past them all with Lance right behind him

"what's up with him?" Matt asked scratching the top of his head, Hunk flicked the little question marks from over Matt's head.

"You just got here "Lance said "fine I'll stay for a while only to get you from messing with me "Keith said pointing at Lance

"score one for Lance" he said turning around

Late that night.

Allura sat in the castle garden playing tapes of her dad and mom playing with her. She was lost in memory's not knowing Shiro was watching her, she started to walk up to her when he stepped on a broken branch she turned around closing the hologram tape.

"Shiro" She said standing up. "what's wrong?" he asked "I'm fine" she said trying to convince him

"it's not working something's troubling you, can tell me "he said Allura sat down cupping her face he went and sat down next to her

"do you know the feeling," she stopped felling Shiro wrap his arms around her. She turned a deep shade of red.

The moment he did that she never wanted it to end.

"so, what you were going to say?" he asked bringing her from her thoughts. "the feeling of being alone" she said not knowing why

Shiro's grip tightened around her waist "you're not alone" He said.
