A/N: So this is my first Voltron fic, tell me what you think

A few weeks after "black"

Keith starred at the blank control screen. Something has been bothering him for weeks. He felt like something was pulling him away. Feeling a presence behind him he glanced over his shoulder, "yes?"

Allura gave Keith a smile, "I just wanted to check up on you."

Keith turned his chair to her and gave her a smile, "check up on me? Really?"

Allura blushed, "yes check up on you." Walking closer to him. "So what are you doing?"

Keith chuckled leaning forward he grabbed Allura and pulled her to his lap. She gave a little shriek. Keith pulled her head down for a kiss. Allura moaned against his lips. Pulling away slowly from her he gave her a smile, "well I was thinking when you came up, but I really don't mind the distraction."

Allura giggled at him, wrapping her arms around his shoulder, "what were you thinking of?"

Keith smiled at her, "just random things."

Allura kissed his forehead. Running her hands through his short hair, "since when do you think of random things?"

Keith gave her a serious look, "princess, I know Daniel isn't ready to lead yet, but I feel like something is calling me."

Allura pulled away from Keith and looked at him in shock, "what do you mean calling you?"

Lance, Hunk and Pidge walked into the control room. Coming to a halt they looked at the princess and Keith in surprise. Lance smiled at them, "Oh look at what we have here guys."

Allura jumped off of Keith's lap and blushed, "Lance!"

Lance smirked at her, "yes Allura? That's my name, don't wear it out."

Pidge and Hunk smiled at them. Hunk chuckled out, "busted!"

Keith gave them a stern look, "enough!" standing up he gave them a serious look, "what did you guys want?"

Pidge chuckled at his captain, "well we were coming over to give you a full status report on the lions. Also we wanted to figure out a schedule for Daniel's training."

Keith looked at Lance, "Lance I want you to take lead."

Everyone looked at Keith in shock. Allura shook her head at him, "No! You are the captain."

Lance nodded his head, "Allura is correct Keith, you're the leader."

Keith shook his head, walking up to Lance he placed a hand on Lance's shoulder, "no Lance. You are."

Everyone's mouth dropped. Pidge shook his head at Keith, "Keith that's impossible. Lance can't be leader. He flies red lion. If he's leader what does that make you?"

Keith glanced at Allura. "I'm sorry princess, but I have to leave. I need you to fly black lion."

Allura shook her head, "Keith I can't! You can't do. Please" Grabbing Keith's arm, she begged him "don't leave!"

Keith gave Allura a determined look, "Allura you told us the cadets were brought to us by destiny. With our discoveries about my past and the lions and Voltron. Something is telling there's something I must discover."

Lance eyes widen in surprise, "Keith you can't leave. Daniel isn't ready to be a team player. I'm not meant to lead, you are. Allura stepped down from Voltron to be a Queen to her planet."

Taking his eyes away from Allura, Keith gave Lance a smile, "but you can lead Lance, You were a leader when I was looking for black lion. We're at peace. This is the right time for me to do this."

Allura felt her eyes water up, refusing to look at Keith. "And us? What about us Keith? We've waited over 10 years. Am I going to have to wait another 10 years for you?" letting go of Keith's arm she ran out of the control room. Unable to contain her tears any longer she started crying.

The team watched the princess rush out of the control room in tears. Lance glared at Keith, "Keith you're like a brother to me, but Allura is right. You've always put duty before yourself, maybe it's time for you to put your heart before all other." With that said Lance turned around and left the control room. Lance and Hunk looked at each other giving Keith a sad smile they both followed Lance out of the control room.

"Why didn't you tell them?"

Keith turned around and was surprised to find Coran there. "How long have you been there?"

Coran gave Keith a sad smile, "while you and the princess were….umm…." blushing he rubbed his neck in embarrassment, "while you and the princess were kissing."

Keith felt his cheeks heat up, "sorry about that Coran. I didn't know how to tell them." Giving Coran a piercing look, "Coran you know I love Allura."

Coran nodded his head, "everyone knows how you two love each other and the princess has made it clear that it's you that she wants to marry and make king."

"What do I do Coran, I want to be that man that she wants, but I got to follow this calling." Keith looked away from him.

Allura ran the hallway blindly. She couldn't believe that Keith wanted to leave her again! After being away from him for 5 years was hard for her. Her heart felt like it was breaking. Unnoticed by her she ran passed Larmina, Vince and Daniel. Larmina yelled out to her aunt, "Aunty!"

Daniel looked at Larmina, "is she okay?"

Larmina shrugged, "I don't know. I was with you guys, I don't know what's going on."

Vince remained quiet. Daniel shrugged his shoulder, "shouldn't you go after her and find out what's wrong?"

Larmina glared at him. Before she could reply to him Lance came to a halt in front of them. Slightly out of breath, "have you guys seen Allura?"

Daniel pointed down the hallway, "she went that way."

Lance nodded his head in appreciation. "thanks." Running in the direction that Daniel pointed in the cadets watched him leave.

Vince rubbed his chin in thought, "I think something serious happen."

Larmina and Daniel turned to look at Vince. Daniel rolled his eyes, "really? I wouldn't have thought that Vince."

Vince glared at him, "shut up."

Larmina gave Vince a small smile, "ignore Daniel we all know how he is."

Daniel looked at Larmina in shook, "hey whose side are you on? For once I'm not the one who made a stupid remark."

Vince rolled his eyes and muttered, "one in a million compared to you Daniel."

Larmina giggled at Vince's remark. Daniel glared at the two. "You guys suck!" Turning around he started walking away from them. Calling out to them over his shoulder, "unlike you two I'm going to investigate and find out what's going on." Vince and Larmina glanced at each other. Shrugging them ran up to Daniel and followed him to the control room.

Allura came to a halt in the gardens. Rubbing her hands over her eyes she took a deep breath. Thinking to her, "why? How could he do this to mean again?"

"Allura? Are you out here? Princess?"

Allura turned to find Lance coming to a halt behind her. Gasping for breath Lance grabbed the closest tree to catch his breath. Gasping out, "I'm getting to old for this."

Allura gave Lance a sad smile, "what is it Lance."

Taking a deep breath he let it out slowly. Standing up straight, "I came to check on you Allura."

Allura turned from Lance and closed her eyes, "how can he do this Lance? He knows how much I want him to be king and be with me."

Lance gave her a sad smile, "I know princess, but we all know how he is."

Allura shook her head angrily, "there's time where I wish he wasn't like that." Turning around to face Lance again. She yelled at him, "I wish that he put this much effort into pursuing me!"

Lance stepped back in shock, "Allura calm down."

Allura stomped down her foot in anger. Pointing at him in anger, "Don't tell me to calm down!"

Lance gulped, backing up slowly. "Allura don't take your anger out on me, I'm not Keith. If I was Keith I would have never left your side."

Allura shook her head at him, "shut up Lance. I don't want to hear you talk. I know you're trying to calm me down and trying to butter me up."

Lance looked at Allura sadly, "Allura sometimes some people are so obvious to what's in front of them." Turning around he started walking away from her. Calling out to her, "I was trying to be a good friend and check up on you, but I'm not going to be you're verbal punching bag."

Allura starred at his back watching him leave. Fuming inside, she couldn't believe him. Turning around once again she looked out to her roses and thought to herself quietly.

The cadets walked in to the control to room to find Coran sitting at the computer. Turning around to them he gave them a smile, "how may I help you kids?"

Larmina glared at him, "were not kids." Pointing at her uniform. "Were on the Voltron force!"

Coran chuckled at them, "I'm sorry princess. Forgive me."

Larmina crossed her arms across her chest and glared at him. "I guess I forgive you."

Daniel stepped forward, "Coran what's going on? Why was the Queen crying?"

Coran turned back to the screen, "it's nothing that you guys need to worry about. This is between the Queen and Keith."

Their eyes widen. Vince stepped up next to Daniel, "are they breaking up?"

Larmina smacked the back of the boys head, "of course they are not. You don't realize how long my aunt has been waiting for Keith to come back. She won't let him go without a fight!" looking at Coran, "right Coran?"

Glancing over his shoulder, "correct princess. The Queen and Keith will be okay. Don't worry about it."

Daniel snorted, "I don't see why Keith would put anything before the black lion. The black lion is goal in life!"

Lamina's eyes narrowed into slits, "what did you say?"

Daniel crossed his arms across his chest and spoke confidently, "I said why would Keith put anything before Voltron. Sure the Queen is beautiful, but come on! Keith has everything I inspire to be! He can't let love confuse him."

Vince quickly moved away from Daniel. Speaking to Daniel telepathically, "bad move buddy. She's going to kill you now."

Daniel thought back to Vince, "seriously Vince? Over this. I don't think so."

As soon as he said that Larmina exploded on him, "oh my god are you serious? Is it a black lion thing to be this stupid?" Jabbing Daniel in his chest with her finger she continued yelling at him. "If you truly believe that Daniel I feel sorry for you and for whatever girl falls in love with you. This is why you lost the privilege of being leader and black lion!"

Daniel's eyes narrowed in anger, "I did not lose my position because of that!"

Larmina squared her shoulders off to him, "you lost your privilege because you don't know the meaning of team work. You always put yourself before others!"

Vince and Coran's mouth dropped in shock. Daniel got in Larmina's face. "The only reason you are the blue lion pilot is because you're a princess! You don't deserve to be on Voltron!"

Vince grabbed Daniel's shoulder, "what are you doing Daniel! Think before you speak!"

Daniel pushed Vince away from him. Feeling his anger grow. "You both don't deserve to be on Voltron. I do! I deserve to be one the team!"

Coran jumped in the middle of the teens. Raising his arms, "enough! You all need to calm down and think before you speak!" Looking at Daniel, "you say you inspire to be like Keith, well in all of my years that Keith has been on Arus I have never heard him speak down to his teammates. He works with his team and doesn't rush off doing his own thing." Daniel looked at the ground in shame. Coran turned his focus on the princess, "and you Larmina just because you are a princess didn't mean anything. Princess Allura worked hard and she proved that she deserved to fly blue lion and that is what the Queen saw in you. She saw that it was time for you to take her place." Larmina looked away from him.

Vince stood next to Coran, "guys we shouldn't' be fighting. We're teammates. We're not perfect, we're all humans and we all make mistakes."

Coran nodded his head, "you must look at you're faults and learn from them."

Daniel tried hard to control his anger, but he couldn't control it. Using his super speed he turned and ran out of the room and out of the castle. Larmina couldn't take it anymore. Pointing in the direction that Daniel ran out in, "Keith can't expect him to be our leader one day can he? He can barely act like a team member! He can't control his anger."

Vince gave Larmina a smile, "he's still young . In time he'll grow up."

Larmina crossed her arms across her chest in anger. "Not anytime soon."

Vince and Coran shared a look and a small smile. Coran chuckled, moving away from the teens he went back over to his chair and went back to survey the galaxy.

So what did you think? give me some feedback.
