Kuron should have lived as his own person in his own body and that’s the hill I’ll die on, you remember when the showrunners said that Kuron’s soul merged with Shiro’s as a way to appease the fans that were upset with Kuron’s fate? And then the whole thing wasn’t even mentioned in canon? Dude, it still hurts like everything about VLD. But- I just watched moon knight and I can’t stop thinking about Shiro and Kuron having the relationship Marc and Steven have.
Shiro at first not knowing that Kuron is still there, there’s blurry spaces in his memories, actions he doesn’t remember doing. With time he gets an understanding of what’s happening, he’s upset and he finds the way to communicate with the other inhabitant of his body. They’re both scared, confused and angry, hurtful words are exchanged but also truths, there’s a discussion about neither of them had a said on the decision of using Kuron’s body as vessel for Shiro. They fight each other for the right to be on front and eventually they realize that sometimes is better for Shiro to be in control and other times is Kuron, they start to cooperate with each other albeit reluctantly until they build up a symbiotic relationship.
Then something happens in a mission, Shiro is about to receive an attack and before the impact Kuron takes control over the body and put Shiro’s consciousness aside. When Shiro wakes up he finds himself alone, He doesn’t know what happened to Kuron, he is gone and the silence is unbearable, like being trapped inside Voltron all over again. He doesn’t want to be alone, he doesn’t want to left Kuron behind, so he decides and unlike the other decision he didn’t made that put him in this messy situation in the first place this one is his and no one else: he’s going to save Kuron and bring him back.
Shiro finds Kuron in The Black Lion’s astral plane but when Shiro reach him Kuron is paralyzed, Shiro talks to him but Kuron doesn’t answer and Shiro cries, he tells Kuron how much he cares about him that Kuron saved him and Shiro wasn’t going to abandon him, words echo to Marc’s speech to Steven.
Shiro hugs Kuron and the embrace breathes life back to him, they cry from joy and the embrace strengthens. The Black Lion appears in front of them, they walk to her, their arms over each other’s shoulders. They don’t have to be alone anymore, they’re a package deal.
