The premise of the meme is simple. Two characters, lovers, have been separated for a time. How long is up to you, as is the reason for the separation. Was it unwilling - an imprisonment, a required journey - or because of a choice one of the characters made? The reason may, of course, color the reunion, and somebody may be pretty miffed, with good reason. Still, the theme is the same: intimacy after being apart.
This meme is mostly geared towards being a smut meme, but nobody will judge you for just doing so heavy fluff.
[ It's not good, but it's better than Shiro could have anticipated, really. Adam had, somehow, survived despite everything and the relief that Shiro felt grew the more Adam talked. Turning down another hall, Shiro leads them to the uniform room, opening it for Adam and following in after him.
Inside, there are a slew of Garrison uniform closets organized by size; Shiro heads to what he thinks he remembers Adam being and opens it up for him, before shifting off to the side to let him work. ]
You can dress in the adjoining room. We'll figure out where you're staying after you get something to eat.
[ Drawing up a chair, Shiro sits in it heavily and just...watches him, still in disbelief that he's alive. Quieter, but no less serious: ]
[Adam was probably luckier than he realized. He knew the Galra were vicious, but he hadn't the pleasure of meeting Sendak or an immediate underlying who would have done the same. Though he is aware that probably the only thing that stopped an interrogation of any sort seemed to be the belief if he was piloting the fighter, he wasn't smart enough have been able to tell them anything.
Adam followed Shiro down the hall to the uniform room. Finally, it was starting to feel more normal again... though when things stopped feeling normal was hard to say. Was it when the Galra arrived? Or had it been before?
He hadn't changed too much from when Shiro knew him at least so that guess wasn't far off. As Shiro stepped away, he moved to find a uniform that would fit him. He had just pulled one off the rack when Shiro spoke again.
It was his turn to freeze. He glanced back over his shoulder at Shiro, who was just sitting there, looking at him. He turned back to the uniform closet, looking into it, but not really seeing anything that was there. Then in a voice that was just loud enough for Shiro to hear]
I'm glad you made it back too.
sry about multiple accounts lmao i need to redo all my icons UGH
[ If that's all this is - if this is all the closure the two of them get when it's all said and done Shiro has to hope that it's enough. With everything how it is right now, messy and chaotic, with no idea where they're going next, it has to be enough that they both survived.
Shiro's smile is small but no less warm and he gestures to the changing room with his flesh and blood hand. ]
Come on. Get changed and we'll see what the mess hall has. I'll check into rooms for you.
[ They've got some of the refugees in bunks six to a room and while it's not ideal Shiro figures it has to be understandable. Not much of Earth is still safely inhabitable so they make do with what they can. Shiro himself is sleeping on the ATLAS, along with the rest of its crew in case they need to scramble while the paladins are in their lions, some with others accompanying them. ]
No problem i need to find more icons for this guy too
[Adam couldn't help a faint smile as well though it was hidden by the fact he was still facing the closest. He had spent so many nights wondering what Shiro would have said and to hear he was glad he was alive... it meant more than he would have thought it would]
Alright. I'll be right back.
[Adam headed into the adjacent room, changing from the rather beat up clothes he'd been wearing for too long now and back into a Garrison uniform. It was familiar after so much uncertainty.
There was something else familiar... well someone else. He wasn't sure what was going to happen from here, but he wanted to hope talking would help, not matter what was said.
He walked back into the uniform room, adjusting the sleeves of the coat to make them sit a little more comfortably on his arms, looking for Shiro]
shiro, casually avoiding any mention of anything like the last 3 years didn't happen, seems healthy
[ Logically, he ought to be expecting Adam to come out in the uniform and everything would work itself out. That's fine, except for the fact that when Adam walks out, for a moment Shiro forgets everything that's happened.
For the briefest flash, thing were normal; Adam was walking into the room dressed for the Garrison and Shiro was sitting at the table, watching him with a stupid, content smile on his face, sometimes over a glass of lukewarm coffee and a pile of exam results.
Then, just as quickly it fades; it's not how it was years ago and they're certainly not the same people. Adam doesn't know everything that's happened, everything Shiro's done and there's no good way to bring that up. Schooling his face into something less wistful, Shiro gives him a once over and nods, rising back up. ]
It looks good. It's...kind of weird seeing everyone in Garrison uniforms after so long, but it's nice, too.
[ He opens the door again for him, giving Adam a wry smile. ]
[It wasn't as easy to picture Shiro back then. He had changed so much that it was jarring to any memories that he had, the white hair and floating arm definitely doing that. But the voice was familiar and if he were thinking it, if he had closed his eyes, he might have been able to picture it back then]
Yeah, it feels weird to be wearing one after so long. Almost didn't think it would happen.
[He looked at Shiro as he opened the door, giving him that smile, and he couldn't help but mirror that smile]
I think I can still find it unless they moved it on me. I guess you'll have to come to make sure I don't get lost.
[ Addressing the hair and the arm are going to be a nightmare; Shiro wishes it were as easy as well, I got kidnapped, fought in an arena, experimented on and later had my consciousness taken out of a magical lion and put into a clone of my own body but unfortunately, that won't work. ]
I'm glad it did.
[ It's unnecessary and understood, probably, but he says it anyway, leading them down to the mess hall, stealing looks at him every so often like if he lets Adam out of his sight he'll vanish. ]
I'm due for something to eat, too, so if you don't mind company?
[ Hopefully doesn't come across as ridiculously desperate but he wants to spend as much time with Adam as he can. ]
[Shiro had said it was a long story so when that finally came, Adam would listen, even though it might not be easy to hear or for Shiro to say. If things... did start to improve again between them, those were things he needed to know.
That comment did get a faint smile]
Thanks.
[He was glad he had been able to put that uniform back on, glad for all of this. Even if this was the most awkward thing ever with Shiro, it was something he had the chance to do.
He followed only half a step behind to the mess hall. He could tell Shiro kept looking over at him. He could tell because he kept glancing over at Shiro too]
No, I don't mind at all. Make sure you actually eat something.
[Mr. Workaholic. Besides... he didn't exactly want to be alone either]
