[ the relief that comes with finding shiro here is entirely misplaced. for starters, it means voltron is down two paladins, On of whom is the leader of the team. logically, rationally the fact that keith isn't alone ought to be absolutely terrible... and yet it isn't.
relief bursts out of the cage that keith has stuffed all his compartmentalized emotions into, and for a happy moment, keith isn't operating purely like a soldier or a palaidn worthy of being part of voltron. no, keith is simply himself and completely ecstatic to see his best friend coming forward. it's like shiro always says -- they can do this together. they're strong together.
his face splits into the widest grin as he jogs to close the rest of the distance between them. ]
Shiro!
[ wildly inappropriate as it is, keith actually laughs, automatically raising his left hand to clasp the one being extended to him, fumbling a beat as his right arm comes along for the ride. cuffs be damned though, keith doesn't let that slight bump in momentum stop him from the fist bump, clasp, and pull-in chest-to-chest routine. ]
Heh. Figures getting sucked through a wormhole couldn't keep us apart. You hurt anywhere?
shhh i accept you anyway
