*Hey guys!

*This is the new story.

*Everything in here is all coming from my head, which are my ideas. nothing in here is true, except for Keith leaving to join The Blade of Mamora (I think I spelled that right).

*Enjoy!

It's been two years since Keith joined The Blade of Mamora.

"Dad, was this a bad idea?" Keith and Thace we're sitting beside each other, out of breath from training. When Keith asked that question, Thace looked right at him. "I don't know. Do you think it was?" Thace asked him, looking forward and closing his eyes. Keith shrugged his shoulder. "I don't know. Maybe? It's just.." Keith took a deep breath before finishing his sentence. "It's just that I left when Lance was having a hard time..I may have been scolding him along with the others, but I always comforted him after.." Thace looked at Keith curiously. "Lance..you always seem to talk about that boy. Who is he? What's your relationship with each other?"

Keith closed his eyes, pulling his knees up to his chest and laying his head down. Thace then knew exactly what it was. He sighed, putting an arm around him. "Your next birthday, which is in a few days, you may leave and rejoin Voltron. We will try to make an alliance with your team to avoid conflict again. Got it?"

Keith looked up at his father, smiling and hugging him. "Thank you! That would make me so happy!" Thace pulled him up after a few seconds. "Just stay calm, it's just a few more days." After that was done, they both went to their rooms to rest up.

With the team, they were all sitting in the lounge on the sofa. They were all making their next plan, while Lance was joking around. Shiro and Allura looked irritated while Hunk and Pidge we're trying to calm them down. Matthew, Pidge's older brother, was standing beside Lance, joking around with him. After a while of them making jokes and playing around, Shiro snapped and turned to go up to Lance, making him land on the sofa behind him.

"That is enough, Lance! Stop playing around, It's not helping!" Shiro shouted at him, Lance staring up at him, his eyes slightly wide. Shiro then closed his eyes and sighed, then opened them again to narrow his eyes at Lance. "Can't you just..be serious? For once in your life?" That got to Lance, making him flinch at the thought he had in his head. Shiro then huffed, walking back to Allura's side to devise the plan. They we're all looking at Shiro, not believing what he just did.

Lance, from that point and on in silence, turned over to sit on the sofa he landed on. Matthew and Hunk went over to him, sensing something unusual. They both sat beside him, leaning forward and trying to see his face, which was covered by his hood. "Lance," Hunk started. "Are you okay..?" No answer from him, not even a glance towards the two. "Buddy..?" Matthew shook Lance slightly, causing him to look over at the two. Lance then smiled, a fake one, to the two males. "Everything's fine, don't look worried." Lance then stood up, walking down the hall to his room, waving his hand in the air. "I'll..be in my room if you need me." That said, Lance slid into his room, not coming out the rest of the day.

It was the next morning, everyone was in the kitchen, eating their breakfast and drinking their coffee. Something was off though. Everyone was there, except for Lance. The room was silent, until Shiro broke it but standing up and grabbing a bowl of food and a coffee. "I'll be back." That's all he said before he left the room and down to Lance's quarters. He tapped the door with his foot, making it open and him walking in to see Lance still in bed.

Shiro sighed, setting the bowl and mug onto the desk and pulling up a chair beside the bed. "Lance, c'mon. You know you need to eat." When he said that, Lace sat up and turned to Shiro, looking down, Shiro got up and brought the bowl to him. "Here, eat this." Lance didn't take the bowl, making Shiro worried. Shiro set the bowl down on the floor and placed both his hands on Lance's shoulder. "Lance, eat something. You left last night during the plan, we need you to focus." Shiro said, not getting a response from Lance at all. He got aggravated and stood up, walking to the door. "Fine, be like this. Don't come complaining to us when you're in trouble." That said, Shiro left the room, leaving Lance to cry alone on his bed, looking at the food on the floor.

Three days later, Keith's birthday.

Keith was up and dressed in his regular clothing, all happy and excited about rejoining the team. He ran out of his room and into the main room, where everyone was at. "Alright, I'm ready to go." Keith said smiling. Thace was with Lotor and Zarkon. He walked up to his son and guided him to the front gates. When he opened them, Pidge, Hunk, Matthew, and Shiro, yes in that order, we're all running up to them.

Keith and them went out to them. "What is it? Why are you guys running for?" Keith asked. "Keith, we're..we're so sorry..but you guys have better equipment, we need to use your healing room." Pidge said, out of breath and leaning down with his hands on his knees. Thace looked confused. "What? Why ours?" Thace asked the paladins. They then moved out of the way to show Shiro holding Lance, who's waist down was crushed.

Keith froze, not moving a muscle. Shiro looked up, seeing Keith devastated. "Please, Lance will die if we don't use your equipment.." Shiro stated, the worriedness and terrified tone in his voice. Keith walked up to Shiro, landing on his knees in front of him. He then took Lance into his lap and held him. "Lance..? Lance no.." Keith had his forehead pressed to Lance's, tears falling. He then lifted his head, anger and sadness mixed. "Who the fuck did this?! I'll kill them!" Thace came up and took Lance from his arms, bringing him inside to their healing room.

Keith was still on the ground, crying and swearing to the person who did that to his Lance. Shiro, standing now, helped Keith up and brought him inside, all of them following Zarkon and Lotor. Now in the healing room, Keith pressed himself against the glass, where you could see in where the person was healing. "Keith, be careful. Don't get yourself hurt." Shiro told him, Keith nodding and just looking at Lance laying on the ground. The on button was flipped, and the room Lance was in turned a blueish colour. They were all watching Lance. The paladin's, involving Keith, we're hoping Lance would be healed in a few hours.

Thace sat in the chair in front of the desk, waving everyone over to him. "We have a speaker. We're able to hear Lance's thoughts. Let's see what's going on with him." When that was said, everyone went over to where he was, all except Keith, who was still looking through the glass at Lance.

Thace turned on the speaker and it was connected to Lance's thoughts in the room beside them. They listened and heard this…

'Why do they yell and lecture me all the time..? I'm just having fun before I die..Like right now, I'm joking with myself, right?'

They were all shocked, looking out the glass wall to Lance, lying on the floor. "Geez, we didn't know any of that..what else is he thinking?" Shiro said, turning back to look at Thace. Thace nodded and turned the speakers up, hearing this.

'Why do I even bother..? I'm just a screw up in the team, I mess everything up, all the time..I'm the reason Keith left, I flirted with him so much that I kissed him and he left..Good thing I'm about to die now, huh? It'll be good for the team..I don't matter anyway..'

Hearing that, Thace turned off the speakers and they all turned to see Keith scared out of his wits. "Keith, son. Don't worry, everything will be okay. Lance is going to live. Do you hear me?" Thace said to Keith. He was looking through the glass wall, tears rolling down his cheeks and looking at Lance. "I didn't leave because of him..I love him.."
