Post S2 after they find Shiro-
One day everyone is just chilling in the common area and kaltenecker (the space cow) is also chilling with them (they don’t question their life anymore) and keith is just intensely staring at her. And lance is like ‘keith...what...why are you staring at Bessie?’ (lance named her that)
And Keith is like “i don’t understand? How is this possible?? How does the space cow look exactly like shiro???”
And then there is silence. Everyone just looks at the cow and see the black and white combination and the pink nose (shiro’s pink scar) and everything. And then EVERYONE bursts into laughter. They are laughing so hard they are crying. Shiro is trying to not laugh but he too gives in.
Then Lance is like “Shit! Now keith doesn’t have to lead! We have a stand in black paladin in case shiro dares to disappear again!” Cue cow mooing at the perfect time and more laughter.
Pidge and Hunk start discussing whether it is possible for a cow to fly the lion and what changes should they make and stuff and shiro is like ‘if you even touch my lion to make changes you will regret it’.
Shiro enters the dining room. Bessie is sitting in a modified chair at the place Shiro’s chair is normally placed (no doubt hunk and pidge made that one). Hunk addressing Bessie “Hey Shiro, you want some space juice? Yeah? Here you go” and basically everyone talking to Bessie as Shiro and actual-Shiro is so done.
Then Allura enters and sees what is happening. Shiro looks at her and thinks now this madness will stop. Allura looks at Hunk who is serving green goop to the cow, “Hey Hunk you mind giving me a plate of it after you serve Shiro? Thank you!” And everyone is low key snickering now and Shiro is super-mega-ulta done.
And then Coran comes running from the other end screaming INTRUDER and launches a Shiro and puts him is a chokehold and screams “WHO ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE OUR BLACK PALADIN??”
At this point everybody loses it and starts laughing while shiro just sits and regrets all his life choices.
If training that day was extra hard no one says anything.
And if every time Shiro sees Bessy a small smile slips on his face, no one says anything.
