Happiest Year (Kangst + Hurt/Comfort, Character Injury, Klance)

A/N: So I’m gonna try a different writing style then What I’ve been doing, let me know if you prefer this or the other style. More notes are going to be at the end of this too so stay tuned!

They were in the middle of battle, the others were yelling over the comms while Shiro barked orders out over them the best he could but no one could understand over the panic. The only reason they were panicking was that their sharpshooter, their lover boy, Their Rock/Glue of the team was injured and the wound seemed worse than what they all initially thought.

“Guys I might be on the ropes this time,” the brunette rasped, his breathing coming out wheezy and in a short puff. “And I want you guys that I’ve been fighting this war for you, so you guys can go home too…” Keith, who was holding Lance tight in his arms, began to shake his eyes filled with unshod tears. “Baby, quit talking like you’re going to die! You’re not leaving us!” A single tear slipped down his dirtied cheek, leaving a clean streak of clear skin in its wake. “You can’t leave me..!” Hunk and the others were fighting Galra soldiers and sentries, trying to make a path so Keith could carry Lance to Red to try and get him back to the Castle ship and into an awaiting healing pod Coran had set up. “Keith-“ “You should never have to say goodbye!” Keith yelled over the fighting, leaning Lance against his body so he could use his cannon to help clear the path faster. “Maybe that's just what stupid people do, buddy..” Lance tried to joke, letting out a pained chuckle. “Hang in there, Hermano! We’ll get you into that Healing pod, so please..” Hunk called from where he was, Shooting sentries one after the next. “Please just hang on!” His cries sounded a mixture of pure desperation but determined, he attacked the next sentry that came after him with a look of such Rage it scared Lance a little. When the path was clear enough, Keith Picked Lance up once again, jostling his wound to the point where he cried out in an agonized scream. He gave the Cuban an apologetic look before sprinting across the battlefield and into red. Keith turned on the comms channel and he saw a panicked-looking Coran. “Is the pod ready, cause he has to get in there as soon as we land Coran,” Keith said, already having red fly off the planet they had landed on for this mission. “It is ready and waiting! How is he?” The boy in question groaned, looking paler by the second as the blood from the wound in his chest continued to flow. “Doing great, Coran-“ He tried to say but ended up coughing in the end, blood slipping from his lips. “We’re almost there, just hold on Baby!” Keith yelled, seeing Lance’s eyes flutter shut. “Keep your eyes open Lance, stay awake! You have to stay awake!” Lance let out another pained groan, squinting his eyes open once more and giving his lover a soft smile. “Y’know…” he sucked in a sharp breath. “You gave me peace, and I think I might have wasted it…” The look that adorned Lance's face was filled with love but scrunched up in pain when red jostled a bit. “You know this is hard to admit, but Keith you were my medicine.” His eyes started to flood with the tears he had been trying to hold in the whole time, beginning to tremble in pain. “I don’t wanna die Keith…” He mumbled, feeling himself grow weaker as the tears streamed down his face like a slow-flowing river. “And you won’t, I won’t let you.” Keith, trying to stay strong for Lance, pushed red to fly faster seeing the Castle ship just mere meters away. “We’re almost there Lance!”

As soon as Keith landed red into the ship's hangar, he ran down her ramp and out with Lance unconscious in his arms. Coran was waiting just outside, running after the red paladin, his eyebrows creased and worry lines showing. “Quickly, we don’t have time to take off his armor to put him in a suit!” He said, going directly to the controls to quickly type in the info the machine needed. Keith gently placed Lance into the healing pod, watching it close and fog over. He released the breath he had been holding in since he got out of red, collapsing onto his knees in front of the pod. His body began to tremble from the overexertion, tears slipping from his eyes as he stared down at his hands covered in Lance’s blood. He tried to wipe it on his armor, letting out a choked sob. Coran stepped forward, kneeling next to the younger and placing a hand on his shoulder. “Keith-“ “Coran please, I’m down on my knees again! I’m asking,” His head whipped up to give the older man a look of pure despair. “Is he going to make it?” His voice cracked, thick with the tears that still fell vigorously. Coran what at a loss of words, he looked up at Lance who’s face looked eerily peaceful. “He will be…” He turned back to face the ravenette, his eyes sad but filled with hope. “Now, let's get you cleaned up yeah? The others will be back soon and they shouldn’t see you like this.” He chirped, though it was faked for Keith’s sake. The ladder shook his head, he wanted to stay with his lover but paused, looking back down at himself. “Ok..” he mumbled, standing with the help of The older Altean.

Time Skip (Everyone is back from the Fighting and it's at least 2-3 days later):

Keith, now in a clean set of clothes and holding Lance’s hoodie close to his chest, sat in the med-bay next to the pod. The others came in to check on him a few times, Shiro even tried to get him to go and get some rest in his and Lance’s shared room but… “Lance, please come back to me…” He mumbled, burying his face into the fabric and letting out a shaky breath. He looked back up and moved to sit in front of the healing pod, studying Lance’s face, his figure, the way the blood on his armor was a darker shade of red morphing into brown. “You know I never really thanked you,” He ran a hand through his hair. “So I guess Thank you for the happiest year of my life…” He let out a sad chuckle, tears flooding his eyes when he looked back up at the pod with his vision now blurry. “Thank you for the happiest year of my life, Lance.” His chuckle turned into a sob, his hold on his lover's jacket tightening as he shook. “I don’t think I could forgive myself, I’m so sorry for the ways I couldn’t protect you.”

Flashback (Before the battle started.)

Everyone landed onto the planet's surface, scanning to see where exactly the distress signal was coming from. “Are you sure a distress signal came from here, Pidge?” Shiro asked, exiting his lion and looking around the surrounding area. Judging from the information, or what little they had in the castle, the planet they were on was occupied by Nomadic people who were anything but violent. “For the thousandth time, yes I’m Sure oh captain my captain,” Pidge said, their voice filled with sarcasm towards the end of the sentence. That got a chuckle from Lance as he exited his lion, making sure to keep an eye out for any enemy soldiers or hostile movement. “C’mon Pidgeon, he’s just making sure in case this could be a trap.” Lance chirped, trying to keep the mood light and aloof. Keith came out of his lion cautiously, getting a bad feeling about the whole thing. “Something seems off here..” He muttered, walking up to stand next to Lance and staying on guard. “I know, shouldn’t there be people here..” Lance mumbled under his breath, grabbing his bayard. “Exactly, stay on guard sharpshooter..” “You to samurai..”

“If you two are done being lovey-dovey, we have a mission to get done,” Pidge said from their lion, pushing up their glasses as they look at their scanner one more time. Their face morphed into pure confusion while quickly looking up and around. “What the hell..?” The muttered, looking back down at their scanner. “What’s wrong?” Hunk said, moving over to stand next to them. “This doesn’t make any sense, there should be people here! Even the heat scanner…” Their eyes widen with realization, their head jerking up to look at Shiro. Shiro’s made a grim face before shouting. “Get back in your lions-“ But they were too late, they were all surprised attacked by Galaran soldiers all racing forward with war cries that could shake your very core. Lance pulled out his bayard to give Keith cover as the Ladder ran forward with Shiro and Pidge. The strategy was simple enough, close-range weapons go first while the long-range cover them. That should’ve been how it went… Until Hunk was about to get stabbed from behind but a Galran general sneaking up on the Yellow Paladin. Lance noticed him just as he was going for it and jumped in to take the hit. “¡Dios, Mierda! That Hurts!” Lance yelled, causing the others to whip around only to see their blue paladin impaled by a sword. “Lance!” They all shouted in unison, hunk shooting the general and the sentries approaching. “I’m fine! Focus on your opponents!” He yelled back, shooting any enemy soldiers that came near Keith and Pidge. “We don't need any more injuries, besides it's just a scratch!” He joked, biting down a cry of pain. The others begrudgingly went back to fighting but Keith went to Lance’s side immediately, now having a closer look at the injury that's befallen his lover. “Lance that isn’t a minor injury-“ “I know, but it’s the least of our worries right now!” He growled, his knees giving way but he played it off by pretending to kneel to get a better shot of the never-ending hoard of sentries. “And honestly I could care less right now! Besides, they could hurt you pretty good too if you don't start paying attention, Samurai..” Keith shook his head, and kneeled next to the other, clicking his tongue at the sight of the blood that was oozing out. The Cuban though, his vision filling with black spots, felt his grip loosening on his bayard. “Ok maybe it’s worse than a scratch-“ He mumbled, collapsing against Keith’s chest.

Back to the Present:

Keith winced at the memory, letting out a shaky breath as he curled in on himself. “Yeah, they had made you bleed,” his hands clenched into tight fists. “And we tasted it.” He looked up at the pod once more, his tears long since dried but the feeling of guilt still ever-present in his mind. “I’m here to admit, Lance…” He stood up from his spot, still holding his lover's jacket in his arms as he walked forward placing his palm flat on the healing pod. “That you were my medicine... Oh, love, I couldn’t quit,” He slid down to the floor on his knees, just as he did when they first put Lance into the pod. “And I’m down on my knees again! Lance please…!”

Flashback:

Lance and Keith were cuddled up in their shared room, laying there in silence until Lance spoke. “You know I really should say Thank you.” He spoke softly, trying to keep the mood soft. Keith looked down at the Cuban laying on his chest with a confused look. “What for?” He asked, trying to remember if he had done anything to warrant gratitude. “For giving me the happiest year of my life..” The other mumbled into the Ravenettes chest, holding a fist full of the man's v5 sweater in a tight grip. Keith froze, he hadn’t exactly expected that from Lance, even though the ladder was a huge sap. “Lance-“ Lance sat up on his elbow and looked at Keith with an adoring look. “Thank you for the happiest year of my life..”

Back to the Present (Again):

Keith smiled to himself, the memory leaving a warm feeling in his heart. His eyes began to droop, the exhaustion finally catching up with him as he leaned against the pod. “Wake me up when they build a time machine, I wanna go back..” He mumbled, his voice sounding thoughtful. “Maybe I could have protected you from getting hurt like that..” His eyes soon shut but sleep was still a bit away from his grasp. “Wake me up when I have you sleeping next to me..” he wrapped Lance’s jacket over him, using it as a blanket somewhat. “Cause I really love you…”

Keith jerked up as soon as he heard the pod door hiss open, frantically getting to his feet to catch Lance as he fell out. “Lance! Baby!” He said, pulling back to look at his lover's face, sleepy-looking as it may be. “Keith..?” The Cuban mumbled confused, recognition soon reaching his eyes as they widened. “What happened? Is everyone ok? How long have I been in the pod? Why do you look so exhausted?” One question shot of Lance’s mouth after the other but Keith could only stare. He couldn’t believe it, Lance was more worried about others rather than himself. His eyes filled with tears once more, pulling the other into a tight embrace. “You almost died and you're worried about everyone else?! Lance I-“ he released a choked sob. “I c-could have l-lost you forever!” That's when Lance felt his heart shatter, that exact moment, as he wrapped his arms around the trembling man he loved. “Hey, I’m ok now though. Everything’s ok, mi amor! I would never leave you! Not ever-“ “You nearly DID THOUGH!” Keith shouted, his voice cracking as another sob wracked through him. “And I never got to say Thank you for giving me the happiest year of my life or that I loved you or-Or-“ He grabbed the back of Lance’s armor, the dried blood flaking off as he held him. “I-I love you too but Keith you need to breathe for me,” he rubbed Keith’s back soothingly, trying to keep his voice even and soothing. “You’re starting to hyperventilate, sweetheart.” Keith shook in his arms, taking deep breaths as he started to calm down while listening to lance.

After a few minutes of calming down and holding each other’s, Keith looked at Lance and planted a soft kiss on his lips before quickly pulling away. “I love you…” He mumbled, meeting the other's eyes. “I love you too, but can I go shower and change, I don't think it would be comfortable for either of us if I cuddle you with my armor on.” That drew a chuckle out of Keith as he pulled away from Lance, gently grabbing his hand to drag him out of the med-bay. “Let's go, Sharpshooter, we can take a quick shower together and then go get some rest.”

A/n: ANd with that it OVER, this took at least 3 ½ hours to write but it’s worth it honestly I’m proud of this! I hope you enjoyed it, feel free to point out any mistakes you see, and if you see a way I could Improve my writing just let me know! I hope you all have an amazing day/morning/evening/night and please stay safe out there!

Klangst

Not What I Meant by: Dodie Clark

TW: Intrusive thoughts, Langst, Klangst, and generally just sad-

*Lance was having a hard time adjusting after Keith came back with his mom, the others brushing him off to go get Allura away from the treacherous Galra Prince. He knew this was far more important than a simple ‘Hello’ from the now apparently older and very much taller blade member. He had this bitter feeling pooling at the bottom of his stomach as he watched everyone rush out of the ship bay to try and contact the princess. ‘Why am I feeling like this?’ He felt the rage and bitterness slowly boil up but he shoved it back down, pushing it aside to deal with it later. He knew that wasn’t wise, but what else was he supposed to do? He had to help with their Lotor situation, despite knowing he wouldn’t be much help.

Skipping forward to after Lotor escaped, everyone had gone their separate ways. Lance wandered around the halls of the castle, lost in his own thoughts, speaking to the stale air as he went.*

Lance: *He had his arms crossed over his chest, the bitterness and anger slowly boiling backup from earlier now that he was alone (or so he thought)* Let’s find out just how far I’ll go, to look like someone you should know.. *he continued on, knowing he needed to get what he was feeling off his chest but not knowing how. ‘Maybe training?’ He thought as he made his way to the direction of the said room.* Maybe I’d sound a little better *he absent mindedly ran his hand over the smooth and very well taken care of skin on his face.* Maybe I’d look more sweet?

*The brunette had walked all the way to the training room only to hear the clashing of a sword against metal. He peeked inside to see Keith and Shiro training together, moving in what could only be described as a dangerous dance of violence. He watched in slight awe before turning to leave, only to pause when he felt the bitterness make its way into his thoughts.*

Lance: *‘Keith just has to always be number 1 huh? No wonder Shiro prefers to train with him.’ His mind spoke with a tone that sent shivers down his spine.* His mind has already been made up, he saw my number and my number is just never good enough. *he let out a soft but sad chuckle as he walked away from the training room door. He turned on his heel to make his way toward the kitchen, his stomach rumbling in agreement of the idea of a snack.* I’ll fight a little better *He felt a small smile tug on his lips.* If I’m willing to compete.

*Keith paused in his movements, hearing the tapping of shoes walking away from the room He and Shiro had been in for the past few hours. He looked at the door for a brief moment, confusion crossing his features. Shiro, ever the concerned father figure, got out of his fighting stance and looked in the direction that Keith was looking.*

Shiro: Keith? *He gently nudged the dazed boy, his brows furrowed ever so slightly in concern.* You ok?

Keith: *He looked over at Shiro then back at the door, blinking for a second.* I could have sworn I heard Lance outside the door… *He rumbled, shaking off the bad feeling he felt. He jumped when he felt the cold metal hand of Shiro’s prosthetic arm touching his shoulder.*

Shiro: Maybe go check and see if he’s alright? I’m sure you could use a break anyways. *He watched for a reaction from the ravenette, knowing the response he was about to get all too well.*

Keith: *He shook his head and nudged Shiro’s hand off lightly.* I’ll do it if I have too, maybe find an Inbetween..

Shiro: *He let out a chuckle and gave Keith a teasing look, slightly shoving the younger shoulder.* Not what I meant when I said, maybe just see if he wants to be seen?

Keith: *He simply rolled his eyes, walking over to the area he set his things aside to and swiped his towel.* I don’t get what you mean but I’ll go check on him. *he wiped the sweat from his brow and walked out of the training room, leaving a chuckling Shiro in his wake.*

*Lance had made it to the kitchen without bumping into anyone, only wanting to grab a quick snack and going to the observation deck where he could drown in his thoughts. He heard humming as soon as he entered, seeing his best friend whisking away as some alien ingredient they got from their last supply pick up. He gave Hunk a smile before grabbing what he needed and leaving without saying a word. Hunk was confused but only shrugged it off, thinking it was only to get back to whatever Lance was doing before.

Lance was back in the halls once more, feeling the chill of the crisp air as it shifted to the night cycle. His mind slowly began to wonder off again, consuming the silence with the loud shouting of his thoughts.*

Lance: *He let out a shaky sigh, running a hand through his already mused hair. ‘Y’know that He only cares about Pidge and their inventions now.. You shouldn’t bother him. Stay on the right path, McClain.’ His mind shouted at him.* How am I meant to stay on track? When each hand I shake will pull me back? *He gripped his hair, trying to keep his breathing steady as his vision blurred. ‘You’re not working hard Enough! You HAVE TO TRY HARDER!’ The thoughts rang louder each time, causing a sharp pang to run through his brain.* Oh, I guess I’ll work a little.. maybe walk a little less.. *When he finally arrived at the observation deck, he breathed out a sigh of relief. Though that hadn’t lasted long, more intrusive thoughts, one more worse than the one before. He tried to force a smile, tell himself that he’s good enough and that he’ll always be good enough but…* And in the end I feel proud! I grit my teeth, and follow that DAMN crowd… *the smile he forced slowly began to crumble.. ‘You aren’t going to make it back home, this war is going to take you away forever!’ That one made him flinch, tears welling up in his eyes as he forcefully wiped them away.* Will I have grow a little empire or made another fucking mess? *That drew out a sad chuckle from the Cuban, a tear slowly slipping down his freckled cheek. ‘You should just leave McClain! Nobody needs you here so why stay?! YOU’RE REPLACEABLE!!’* I’ll do it if I have to…

*Something Lance hadn’t realized was that Keith, his supposed rival to close friend to crush, was listening outside the door. The ravenettes eyes were wide with shock, the feeling of dread cording through him as he listened to everything Lance said.*

Keith: *he placed a hand over his mouth, trying to steady his breathing while staying as quiet as possible. ‘How long has Lance felt like this? Did he really..?’ His mind was racing with one question after the next, resisting the urge to burst in to confront the former blue paladin, to try and figure where all this came from and how it started..*

*Lance slid down to the floor, his knees giving way underneath him as he held in a sob that rose from his throat. He didn’t want to make a sound in fear that someone would hear and feel that they had to come and check. He didn’t want to be a bother any more than he felt that he was. The two boys, one unaware of the others presence, stayed silent for a few moments until the Cuban continued.*

Lance: *His voice came out thick, tears seeping from his eyes as he stared at the stars with blurry eyes and a shaky smile.* Hoping for an Inbetween… *’You shouldn’t draw attention to yourself, don’t make the others worry about you. They already have too much to deal with.’ He let out another shaky breath and pulled his knees to his chest.* Not what I meant when I said that I wanted to be… *A soft sob escaped his trembling and bitten beyond belief lips, he shook with each sob that escaped after the first, finally letting go. He lowered his head and murmured under his breath.*...seen.

Keith: *’I can’t just keep standing here! Lance needs comfort!’ His emotions were getting the better of his rationality, having a war going on in his mind. ‘What if he doesn’t want to see me? What if I make things worse for him?!’ He shook his head, as if to shake away the thought. ‘It doesn’t matter, he needs someone!’ The next words he muttered under his breath..* I’ll do what I have to.

Lance: *He tried his best to calm down, still not noticing a certain mullet head about to enter. He ruffled his hair and gave a wet smile to the stars.* I’ll keep it to myself..

Keith: *He finally made a decision, turning on his heel and storming into the room with a fierce determination that he only showed when he was about to go on a mission.* This is the Inbetween.

Lance: *The male jumped, whirling around at the source of the new voice, surprised to see a very fierce looking keith quickly approaching him.* K-keith? How- W-when- H-how long have you been listening?! *He yelped, suddenly in Keith’s arms as the ladder held him in a tight vice like hug. ‘I must have seen that look somewhere before-‘ his thoughts were interrupted when Keith suddenly spoke after a brief pause.*

Keith: *He held the Cuban as tight as he could without hurting the other, burying his face into the others neck.* I finally know what you meant when you said you want to be… *he inhaled a shaky breath and pulled away to face Lance.*

Lance: *He could watch in awe, some tears still falling but Keith kissed them away as soon as they did.*

Keith: *he gave Lance a sad smile and cupped the others cheek with his, sure to be, rough hands.* ...Seen..

Lonely By: Benny Blanco and Justin Bieber

*When the War finally ends and most of Team Voltron has gone their separate ways… Lance stayed back with his family for a few years, going through the rough healing process that he knows everyone else is also facing. He mainly stayed out on the beach, taking in the salty sea air and watching the waves come forth and leave with the growing tide. He missed the team, he missed his friends, he missed… Well he missed Keith too… But he would never admit this out loud, deciding to plaster on a smile and wait for the meet up they have every year at Allura’s statue. They’ll talk about all they’ve been doing, Pidge inventing something new, Hunk and Shiro dealing with Diplomatic missions, Coran helping with New Altea, and Keith.. Keith’s been helping with relief missions along with the Blade, helping planets with supplies and medicine. But what has Lance been doing? Hiding away on his farm claiming that someone has to take care of the wrecked Agriculture.. But really, he’s just a coward who is too scared to step back on a ship.. he does miss it though, the feeling of flying through the air with blue or red, side by side with his friends and long time crush…*

Lance: *walking along the shoreline, he waits to go back to the house that he and his family have been living in getting lost in his own Thoughts. His mind raced on what he would say at the Team get together and just what’s been happening since the war ended* Everybody knows my name… *he looks at the ocean blue, his eyes filled with a longing that no one could explain but himself* But somethin’ ‘bout it still feels strange. *He absentmindedly rubs the marks that will forever remain on his cheeks* Like lookin’ in a mirror, tryna steady yourself and seein’ somebody else…. *his mind flashes to when he had to say goodbye to Allura, the heartbreaking feeling that crashed through the whole team when they realized she was gone. Back to when they all first got on the castle ship and met the Last surviving alteans and suddenly became the ‘saviors’ of the universe.* And everything is not the same now, It feels like our lives have changed. Maybe when I’m older, it’ll all calm down? *he runs a frustrated hand through his hair* But it’s killen’ me now…

*Fast forward to the day before the team get together, Lance stands in his room with a bag packed and ready to go. He knew he’d have to leave soon, get on a ship and fly to New Altea to see his friends and hear about their adventures, or atleast pretend like he’s listening. He knows that he wants to join, feels the jolt of excitement from wanting to ask, to say he’s ready to go back and help… He’s been hyping himself up, but he knows he’ll chicken out, always overthinking and being paranoid and insecure…*

Lance: *he walks to the bathroom to check his appearance once more, fixing his hair for the millionth time* What if you had it all, but nobody to call? *he sighs and leans against the sink, staring down at the porcelain bowl like its the most precious thing in the world* Maybe then, they’d know me… *he loses himself in thought once more, not remembering he was on a schedule* ‘Cause I’ve had everything, but they’re never listening. And that’s just fuckin’ lonely..

Lance’s mom: Leandro! Vamos! You’re going to miss your flight! *She walks up the creaky steps to the bathroom only to see her son lost in thought, staring down at the sink still and sighed* Mijo, it’s time to go… *she spoke softly to not startle him*

Lance: *looks up slowly and smiles at his Mamá* Ok ok, let me grab my stuff and I’ll be out of your hair for the next couple of days. *he joked lightly, walking past her to grab his duffle and went back to peck her on the cheek* I’ll see you when I get back Mamá..

Lance’s Mom: *She pulled her youngest son into a tight hug* Are you going to tell them this time?

Lance: *he tenses up but tries to Laugh it off* Tell them what? What are you talking about?

Lance’s Mom: *She pulls away from the hug and gave him a knowing look* That you want to go back up there, and that you want to help Keith with his missions.

Lance: *He stared at his Mother, shocked that she knew anything about that* How-

Lance’s Mom: I’m your Mamá, and I know my children like the back of my hand. Don’t chicken out this year, Mijo. You’ve been moping around this farm for far too long.

Lance: *He gave a soft smile and pulled his mother back into a tight hug* Are you sure it’s Ok?

Lance’s Mom: Of course! Now, you better hurry before you miss the flight to New Altea. And tell everyone that the McClain family says hi for us.

Lance: *He released the other and quickly pecks her cheek* Gracias Mamá! And I will! *he runs down the stairs, hearing his mother let out a soft laugh as he goes. He runs out the door and to his old beat up jeep (Yes I’m giving Lance a blue Jeep don’t judge me-) and quickly drives to the Garrison*

Lance’s Mom: *She watches her son from the second story window drive off, sadly smiling and praying* I can tell he’s so lonely….

Lance’s Dad: *He finally walks up behind his wife and holds her in his arms* Lonely…

*Lance leaves earth, watching his home planet leave from his view as he felt a mixture of anxiety and excitement pump through him. But as the time passed he felt himself drown in his own thoughts again, questions like ‘What if they don’t need me?’ Or ‘What if Keith doesn’t want me to come..?’*

Lance: *he was by himself in the seating area, no one around to bug him as he drowned in his thoughts* Everybody knows my past now, Like my house was always made of glass… *he stares at the stars as they pass Kerberos* And maybe that's the price you pay for peace and fame at an early age. *he felt memories cloud his mind, thinking back to when clone shiro yelled at him and how he walked out, holding back his tears as he went.* And everybody saw me sick.. *flashes to when everyone pushed him aside and basically ignored him* And it felt like no one gave a shit… *More memories flood through his mind as they grow closer to New Altea. Back to when he would get berated and criticized for every little thing he did* They criticized the things I did as an Idiot kid… *he lets out a shaky sigh while pulling his knees to his chest, trying to shake the feelings of loneliness* What if I had it all, but nobody to call? *he felt the tears beginning to sting his eyes* Maybe then, they’ll know me… *He sat up properly as they entered the planet's atmosphere* Cause I’ve had everything, but no one’s listening. *he wipes his eyes and plasters on his best ‘I’m ok’ smile* And that’s just fucking lonely. *He grabs his bag and begins walking out* I’m so lonely… *steps off the ship and breathes in the crisp air* Lonely…

*When the former blue paladin steps off the ship, he’s talked by two figures, one small and one giant. He knew who was hugging him which made him burst into laughter. Hunk and Pidge both hugged him tight, not letting go until they’re approached by Shiro who pulls Lance into his own tight hug. The older man said his ‘Hello’s’ and the other two were talking about how they missed the Cuban which made his heart swell with a familiar warmth. But what took his breath away was the sight of Keith, the half-galaran stood tall with a very familiar smirk plastered on his face as he strode forward to wrap Lance up in his arms*

Keith: *he held onto Lance longer than the others, nuzzling his face in the crook of the others neck* Hey Sharpshooter..

Lance: *he flushed pink and wrapped his arms around Keith’s neck, breathing in his scent* Hey Samurai-

Pidge: *they Jokingly gags* Alright lovebirds that’s enough!

Hunk: *he elbows Pidge and chuckles* Hey, cut them some slack Pidge. They haven’t seen each other for a few months.

Lance: *he tries to give a quick remark but is stopped but Keith placing a kiss on his neck* Keith, b-buddy?

Keith: *he hums softly in acknowledgement that he’s listening but doesn’t loosen his grip around Lance*

Lance: *he sighs and gives in, letting out a soft laugh and feels a warm smile cross his face* Later, we need to talk..

Keith: *he hums again and loosens his grip some* Ok..

Lance’s Thoughts: I guess I didn’t have anything to worry about..

The Moon Will Sing by: The Crane Wives

*This takes place when Keith left and everyone is gathered in the common room and they started to belittle him like normal but Lance finally had enough*

Lance: *looks at everyone with a sharp glare* Tell me once again?

Hunk: *slightly confused* Lance?

Lance: *tense and jumpy when Hunk tried to touch him* I could have been anyone, anyone else… *he looks at his hands folded in his lap then at Shiro* Before you made the choice for me! *stands up* My feet knew the path, *starts pacing* We walked in the dark-

Pidge: *snorts and is confused* The Dark?

Lance: *sharply glares at Pidge*

Pidge: *tenses at the cold glare and shuts up immediately*

Lance: *taps his fingers against his side (He does this when his anxiety is high) and continues to pace* I never gave a single thought to where it might lead… *tears up slightly but quickly blinks away the tears* All those empty, I could have been anywhere-

Shiro: *Raises brows and looks slightly concerned* Anywhere else?

Lance: *runs a shaky hand through his hair* Instead I made a bed with Apathy *he eyes shone with fresh angry tears as remembered Keith Leaving* My heart knew the weight, 12 years of knowing dust and neglect (seeing as lance is the youngest of his siblings, he got less attention and was pushed aside mostly and he feels neglected by the team and the belittling and lashing out didn’t help)

Hunk: *face filled with shocked Realization and his eyes began to water* Oh Hermano-

Lance: *Tenses and moves away from everyone* I made my peace with weariness.. *looks up and forces a smile* And let it be!

*Lance leaves for his room soon after that but instead goes to the star deck to watch the stars, everyone else was looking for him while Shiro called Keith and asked if he was free to come back to the castle. Keith had asked why and Shiro only mentioned the former blue paladins name before Keith was on his way back. Coran found Lance on the Star deck and sat next to him, wrapping a comforting arm around the young paladin and Lance just began to cry softly*

Coran: *rubs Lance’s back Gently* Just let out what you’re feeling..

Lance: *trying to stop the tears that continued to stream down his cheeks and laughed bitterly* The moon will sing a song for you (referring to him being there for the others and them not returning the favor) *looks over at Coran with sad eyes* I loved him like the sun…. *tightly clenches his fists together to the point that his nails dug into his palms which caused them to bleed* I bore the shadows they made with no light of my own!

Lance: *holds in a broken sob* I shine only with the light they gave me!

Coran: *eyes widened with realization* You shine only with the light they give you…

*The others were listening in while Shiro waited for Keith in the Ship hanger with a feeling of guilt and shame flooding him and taking over his thoughts*

Lance: *looks at the stars and remembers all the times Iverson told him he would never be a good fighter pilot and that he was only there cause Keith was kicked out* Name my courage now, I could have had anything-

Coran: *pulls Lance into a tight hug and glares at the door cause the Princess stepped out, he shook his head at her and continued to comfort the young Paladin who bore so much pain* Anything else?

Lance: *pulls away and laughs before letting out a broken sob* Instead they hoarded all that’s left of me! *runs a hand through his hair and lets out more sobs* Swallowing their doubt (referring to all the times he let the team rant or cry to him or when he comforts them through nightmares and ptsd flashes) Like swords in the pit of my stomach!

Hunk: *covers his mouth to hold in his cries*

Pidge: *eyes wide with unshod tears as they realize all the times Lance has comforted them and all the time they yelled at him*

Lance: *shudders and tries to wipe his tears* I wanna feel the fire that THEY KEPT FROM ME!!

Allura: *softly cries as guilt overwhelmed her*

Shiro: *comes running with Keith at his side*

Keith: *sees the others crying and was about to walk into the star deck but was stopped by Shiro who looked at him with a “Wait a second” look*

Lance: *tears fell from his eyes as he smiled bitterly* The moon will sing a song for you-

Shiro: *tenses and bites his lip hard*

Lance: *looks over at Coran with a defeated look in his eyes as tears fell faster* Coran, I loved him like the sun! *Lets out a heart wrenching sob*

Keith: *Eyes widen as he looks at the others then at the opened door*

Coran: *Sees Keith and gestures for him to slowly come in* I know my boy, and you bore the shadows they made, with no light of your own…

Lance: *wraps his arms around Himself and he curled in on himself, more tears fell from his eyes like a never ending stream* I shine only with the light they gave me!

Coran: *Slowly Stands and steps back* You shine only with the light they gave you..

Lance: *sobs wreck through him as he doesn’t notice Keith who steps closer*

Keith: *wraps Lance up in his arms and hold him tight* Lance, I’m so sorry… I didn’t notice…

Lance: *Shudders and cries even harder if it was possible* Keith-

Keith: You shine only with the light we gave you…

Lance: *His eyes widen as he looks at him and then soon noticed the others as they walked in, some of them were crying while the others looked guilty* Guys…

Shiro: *looks at the ground Guilty* You could have been anyone *then looks up Lance with now tear filled eyes* Anyone Else…

Pidge: *wipes their eyes but more tears kept falling* You shined only with the light we gave you…?

*Lance wanted to get up and go comfort the others, that was his automatic response now, push his feelings aside and comfort the others. But the Iron grip that kept him in place wouldn’t let him move. Lance looked at Keith who in turn was crying himself, Lance wrapped his arms around Keith’s neck and pulled him to his chest to let him cry it out*

Lance: *He runs his fingers through Keith’s hair and softly coos in his ear* Shh Mi amor, it’s ok.. Don’t cry Starlight.. *he then looked at the others and sadly smiled gesturing for them to come closer*

*Hunk was the first to run over to engulf the other two in a hug, weeping out apologie after apologie as Lance wrapped his free arm around hunk and rubbed soothingly*

Hunk: Lo Siento Mi Hermano! Lo siento! *he’s crying loudly at this point, blubbering out his apology in Spanish like he’d done back at the Garrison whenever he had to apologize*

Lance: *He lets out a sad laugh and goes to wipe the others tears* Aye Amigo, stop the tears already. You’re forgiven, so calm down..?

*Hunk had simply nodded at Lance but he continued to cry, making room for Pidge to sprint forward and hug as much of Lance that wasn’t attached to Keith as they could*

Pidge: *they Sobbed and sobbed while hugging Lance neck* Asshole! You should’ve told me to stop! I would’ve! I’m SO SO SO SORRY LANCE!

Lance: *holds Pidge as they cried and he simply rubbed her back soothingly* C’mon Pidgey, it’s ok I promise. I know you don’t mean any of the stuff you had said. *he pushed them back so he could look at them and smiled, wiping away their tears* Everything is ok now..

*Pidge leaned into Lance’s touch before nodding and pulling away, the former blue paladin they had more they wanted to say but they wouldn’t say it until the future. Next up was Allura, she looked like a wreck, her hair all frazzled and new and old tear streaks littered her cheeks. He smiled at her and waved her over, knowing she didn’t want to do anything without his permission*

Allura: *speed walks over and kneels down in from of Lance and smiles sadly at him* Lance, I would like to apologize for how I’ve been acting towards you.. I know there is no excuse that I could give nor explanation.. I have failed you not only as Altea’s princess but as your friend.

Lance: *he placed a hand on Allura’s shoulder and returned her sad smile* It’s ok Princess, I forgive you.. I think it’d be better to give each other time to heal but I think eventually we’ll all be ok.

Allura: I agree, I believe the war can wait a day or two so how about we all take a break?

Lance: *He sees everyone nod and even feels Keith, who is still holding tight to him, nods along* Ok, yeah that might be a good Idea. *he looks over at shiro who stands stock still where he is*

*Lance gestures to Shiro causing the Princess to look over her Boulder then back at Lance with an Understanding Look, moving out of the way and giving space for the older man to get his chance to speak his part to Lance*

Shiro: *He slowly walks over with a look of hesitance and guilt displayed on his sharp features, the tears in his eyes were left unshod until he fell to his knees in front of Lance* L-lance I’m so-

Lance: *he simply wrapped the unoccupied arm around Shiro and pulled him closer, rubbing his back as he felt the drops of tears Fall finally from Shiro’s eyes* Everything is okay shiro, let it out… I know you feel guilty and I know You’re going through a mess of emotions, its okay to let go… You can’t be tough all the time.

Shiro: *His eyes were wide as he clung to Lance’s jacket, Silent tears cascaded down his cheeks as mumbled small apologies into Lance’s Ear* I’m so sorry…

Lance: I know shiro… *he’s smiling into the hug* And I forgive you ok?

Shiro: *he nodded his head and pulled away from the hug, quickly wiping his tears while going to stand up* Alright, Lets give Lance and Keith some space to talk and how about we have a movie night tonight?

Hunk: *nods his head as he dries his own tears, a small smile on his Face* I can make us some snacks that might taste like Earth candy and maybe find something that Taste similar to Popcorn..

Pidge: *They lift their glasses to wipe their puffy eyes* I can go find some movies and set things up in the common room..

Allura: *Happily claps and turns to Coran, her own eyes now dry and slightly puffy* Coran and I can go fetch some blankets and pillows and we can build a… Oh what did you call it again?

Coran: *chuckles and pinches his moustache* A fort Princess..

Allura: Yes that!

Shiro: *Smiles and nods* Alright, I’ll help with the blankets.. *he turns to Lance and Keith* You two come join us when you’re ready.

Keith: *Tightens his hold on Lance*

Lance: *turns to Keith and then Back to shiro* We’ll be there, thanks guys.. *he quickly turns back to Keith and runs a comforting hand through his hair, He heard the door close when the others left now leaving them only to the silence and Keith’s shaking breathing* Keith..?

Keith: *sniffles* I’m sorry I didn’t notice sooner..

Lance: Oh Mi Amor… *He softly Kisses the top of Keith’s head* It’s ok-

Keith: *He quickly pulls away and looks up at Lance with anger and tear filled eyes* It’s not ok! You’re in pain and neither I nor the others saw that! And it got worse when I left, and don’t tell me it didn’t cause Coran basically told me everything!

Lance: *he felt himself tense at Keith’s yelling, his own tears welling up as he looked away from the other* I-it’s really fine though now, they all apologiz-

Keith: *shakes his head as He cups Lance’s cheeks, forcing the other to look at him he pressed their foreheads together* Just cause they apologized doesn’t mean you can’t still be angry or hurt, you’re too kind for your own good…

Lance: *relaxes in Keith’s hold and sighs* I know, but I just have to keep telling myself that everything will be ok, cause eventually it might be..

Keith: *he looked into Lance’s hurt filled eyes and kissed the tears that slipped down his cheeks away he cradled Lance in his arms and did his best to comfort him as he soon felt the other fall asleep* Just get some rest, darlin’..

Hance

King by: Lauren Aquilina

Hunk: *sees lance on the deck staring at the stars and sighs* You’re alone…

Lance: *jumps looking over his shoulder and shakily smiles at Hunk* I’m on my own, so what?

Hunk: Have you gone blonde? *plops down next to Lance* Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?

Lance: *tenses while trying to play it off and forces a laugh* Glass half empty, glass half full.. Either way I wont be going thirsty-

Hunk: *wraps an arm around lance waist and pulls him onto his lap* Count your blessings not your flaws..

*Time skip to when Kuron (shiro’s clone) Yells at lance and Lance Runs out with hunk in tow*

Kuron: *yelling* I told you to stay out of this!

Lance: *runs out of the room and collapses halfway to his room*

Hunk: *crouches down in front of Lance whose in the middle of a panic attack* You’ve got it all, you’ve lost your mind in the sound.

Lance: *hyperventilating while cascade down his cheeks* Hunk-

Hunk: *picks Lance up bridal style and takes the shorter to his own room for a good cuddle session* There’s so much more, we’ll go reclaim your crown…

Lance: *clutching onto Hunk’s shirt in a tight fist as more tears fall* I’ve lost control!

Hunk: *kisses the top of Lance’s head as he walks into his room* Rid of the monsters inside your head, *put him down gently on the bed and wraps him in bundles of blankets and settles down next to him* Put all your thoughts to bed… You can be king again..

Lance: *tries to calm his breathing as he clutches onto his hair tightly* You don’t get what all this is about! *looks at Hunk with fear filled eyes* I’m “Too wrapped up in my self doubt!” *more tears fall* That “I’ve got that young blood” and I should “Set it free!”

Hunk: *Pulls Lance close to him* You’ve got it all, you’ve lost your mind in the sound-

Lance: *lets out a hollow laugh* There’s so much more, I can’t “Reclaim my crown.” *glares at the wall* I’ve lost control, I can’t rid the monsters from inside my hide. *flashes of the others yelling and belittling him* I can’t put all my faults to bed, I cant be king-

Hunk: *gently cups Lance’s cheeks and forces the other to look at him* There’s method in your madness, there’s no logic in your sadness! *presses their foreheads together* You don’t gain a single thing from misery… *softly kisses Lance’s tears away* Take it from me…

Hunk: *pulls Lance into his lap and leans against the wall* You’ve got it all, sure you lost your mind in the sound. *gently Kisses Lance’s temple* But there’s so much more, and you’ll reclaim your crown.

Lance: *calms down enough where he can breathe* I’ll gain control, I’ll try to reclaim my crown…

Hunk: *smiles softly* Put all your faults to bed, you can be king again!

*Hunk called a team meeting cause the man is tired of everyone’s bull (especially Kuron aka Shiro’s clone)*

Kuron: Hunk what is this about-

Hunk: *glares at Kuron* We’ve got it all, but you’ve *points at everyone except coran and lance* lost your mind in the sound!

Lance: *looks down at his hands*

Pidge: *confused until gets struck with realization* Hunk-

Hunk: *holds up a hand* I’m not done. You know there is so much more, he *points at Lance* can reclaim his crown! *his anger grows as he sees Kuron roll his eyes and Allura simply give a cold look to Lance*

Kuron: *stands up and storms up to Hunk and points a finger at Lance* He’s not in control-

Lance: *steps in between Hunk and Shiro and faces Shiro with a look of fear but Determination* You need to get rid of the monsters inside your head. *gently pushes Kuron Back* Put all your thoughts to bed-

*Both Alteans walk into the where lance is and here him talking about his home to the mice*

Lance: *tears sting his eyes as he cuts him off* Look, I didn’t power through the struggle just to let a little trouble, knock me out of position or interrupt my vision (Talking about his dream of going to space)

Keith: *realizes what he’s done* Lance I didn’t mean-

Lance: *trying his best not to break down* After everything I’ve witnessed (Referring to all the death and destruction) After all of these decisions… *tears pool out of his eyes) all these miles, feet, inches… They cant add up to the distance of me being more than a spare paladin, a fill in until a true one comes along. Just to get to a place where even if there’s no closure… *looks up at Keith with a broken look and smile* I’m still safe… *whispers* with you…

Keith: Baby…

Lance: *Lets out a shuddering breath* I still ache from trying to keep pace *starts to leave* Please just somebody give me a sign I’m starting to lose faith…

*Lance walks through the castle halls by himself*

Lance: Now tell me, how did all my dreams turn into nightmares? (Flashes of when he died after taking a hit for Allura or the time he saved Coran from the explosion) *Begins to tremble* How did I lose it when I was right there…?

Lance: *falls to his knees*

The others: *either listening from the camera room or from around the corner*

Lance: *lets out a choked sob* Now I’m so far that it feels like its all gone to pieces…

Lance: *Screams* Tell me why the universe NEVER FIGHTS FAIR?!?!

*The others have a group meeting while Lance is in his room*

Shiro: He’s trying to find-

Shiro: *walks over and crouches down to Lance’s eye level* Now tell me, how did all your dreams become nightmares?

Allura: *places a hand on Lance’s cheek and wipes a tear* How did you lose it when we are right here? (Referring to their love and caring for him)

Lance: *jerks away from her touch* I’m so far that it feels like its all gone to pieces.. *sobbing while glaring at Allura and Shiro* Tell me WHY THE WAR NEVER FIGHTS FAIR?! I never asked to be here! I never asked to join this war! I never asked for you to constantly remind me that I’m not good enough, that I dont train or try hard enough, that I’m the goofball, that *sobs wreck through him* THAT I’M JUST A USELESS AND REPLACEABLE PALADIN! I’M JUST TRYING TO FIND-

Keith: *gently cups lances cheeks while interrupting his hysterics* A home… A place where you can go *gives him him such a adoring but sad look* to take this all off your shoulders…

Lance: *reaches for Keith* Please I just wanna go home… *shudders* Someone take me-

Keith: *takes Lance from hunk and hold him in his lap as he sits down* I found no cure for the Loneliness, I found no cure for this sickness…

Lance: *hides his face in the crook of Keith’s neck* Nothing here feels like home, I am surrounded by family but I’m all alone..

Hunk: *grabs Lance’s and and holds it between his own* We found a cure for your loneliness…

Shiro: *gives a comforting smile* We’re here for you, and you’re not alone.

*few minutes of more crying*

Lance: *gives a watery smile* Home! This is a place where I can go, to take this off my shoulder… I feel like I can call this home..
