No One's Ever Ready for That Kind of Burden
Who: Darin and Allura, and Darin and any of the Voltron paladins
When: Recently!
Where: Lion House, Kauto 5
What: Shiro needs some time to sort through his thoughts and has left the team in Darin's care (HAHAHAHAHA I KNOW RIGHT?)
Warnings: None as of yet but it's Darin so...
A.[Closed to Allura]
[He could scarcely believe what was happening. One second, Darin was calling up Shiro to congratulate him on the recovery of his entire team. It was meant to be a bittersweet call. With the rest of the Voltron paladins recovered, Darin was beginning to feel that maybe he'd overstayed his welcome. Given the events of the month, with Shiro being hurt thanks to Darin's inaction, he'd been feeling...restless. Undeserving of being a part of the team Shiro had welcomed him into. In fact, mentally, Darin had one foot out the door.]
[Then, something happened. Shiro needed time away from the team. To sort himself out. Darin was more than willing to let his friend have this, but Shiro's last words rooted Darin to Lion House once more.]
[He'd placed them, his team, in Darin's care. Only until he could sort himself out but, regardless, the weight of that responsibility sat on Darin's shoulders. A weight he'd never felt himself capable of bearing. But, in the end, his duty to Shiro trumped his own personal insecurities. First thing's first though; he had to talk to Allura. He'd spent the last few weeks avoiding her altogether, afraid of facing her judgment after Shiro's injury. Now, he was making his way to her room. He knocks quietly on her still visibly broken door.]
...Hey. Princess. It's Darin. Do you have some time? I'd...like to talk.
B.[Open to the rest of the paladins]
[After his talk with Allura, Darin began making his rounds. He didn't really know what to expect when he told everyone that Shiro had left them temporarily in his care. Two of the paladins had only just arrived; neither of them had any reason to trust Darin in the slightest. Hunk would likely be the most accommodating; the guy was practically a walking teddy bear. He may need his help to get the others on his side. And Pidge...? Well, they'd barely spoken since she met him in the waiting room of the hospital after Shiro's injury. He wasn't looking forward to appealing to her either but...in the end, it had to be done. So, Darin wanders Lion House, searching out the paladins so that he can hopefully have one-on-one chats.]
[How does Shiro do this, anyway?]
