Isn't that what you just asked me to? [Playing innocent over here.] Not to tell you I'm happy to call you my brother? [But the compliment still slips in.]
[He waves his hand dismissively. Lance does suffer from nightmares at times, some worse than others, but he knows that his own issues are nothing compared to everyone else's.]
[He can't help getting a bit tense when he hears that - it's the same reason why Shiro himself is up too after all. He didn't know Lance suffered from those.
When he speaks, his tone is filled with sympathy.]
They do, but they can still be upsetting. Need to talk about it?
Self sacrifice isn't going to do anyone any good. Do you really, honestly think by keeping everything in, it's helping? That you opening to us means that somehow the Galra win? That doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense. Think about it, Shiro. Wouldn't it be a victory against the Galra if we helped you get through this all, together? Proof that they don't have the power they think they do?

[He smiles, giving him another squeeze. Shiro is nice to hug, thank you very much.]

I'm the impossible one in this castle?

[He'll just be pinching Shiro's cheek now, k.]

[Swatting those hands away, gosh.]
no subject
[Nope, now he's just going to squish Shiro's cheeks with both hands.]

[Or that's what he's trying to say anyway.]

Oh, come on, not every night of me not sleeping is because he kicks me out of bed!

Why aren't you resting then? And don't tell me it is because of my texts, you were awake already.

Happens to everybody.

I'm good. Besides, I'm here to talk about you.
no subject
What about me?
no subject
[Lance still doesn't let go of him, just holding him close. You're not prying him off yet, Shiro.]
Did you ever stop to think that maybe people want to help you?
no subject
I told you, just because they want to, it doesn't mean they should. Enough lives have ruined by the Galra. I won't let my stuff reach anyone else.
