Refuge

Summary:

The crises are over and the universe has stabilized. As the Galaxy Garrison prepares for a new inter-galactic era and the IGF ATLAS mission changes, Shiro begins his own rebuilding efforts closer to home. After a time, he brings Team Voltron into his refuge.

Notes:

I was possessed by the spirit of Takashi Shirogane and wrote this in one sitting. Apologies for any incomplete sentences or pacing issues. It is the first time I’ve written in earnest in some time…

This was inspired by a discussion over on one of the (now defunct) Sheith discord servers. I love the idea of Shiro being an island baby and a member of the Japanese diaspora out in Hawaii. It gives him a nice juxtaposition with Keith (as a desert kid) and gives him some common ground with Hunk especially, but Lance too.

Chapter Text

Shiro turned the motorcycle up the hidden driveway, weaving up the dirt and gravel trail to the house that sat tucked away on the hill, nestled and hidden away amidst tropical foliage.  Bringing the bike to a stop at the top of the drive, he cut the engine and kicked the stand out before carefully shifting the vehicle beneath him.  He stood and moved to free his satchel from where it had been secured to the motorcycle for the trip from the airport and slid the strap over his shoulder.  Adjusting his aviators, he tilted his head back to look up into the mottled sunlight that filtered through the green canopy overhead. 

He smiled to himself and murmured, “Tadaima.” [1]
