Hi just a reminder I don't own Voltron or any of its perfect babies.
And yes, Lance is the Black Lion, Shiro was never found, Pidge is still the green lion as is Hunk the yellow and Allura is the Blue, but keith quit when they found Matt and Matt is now the red Lion. Now that you are all catched up here, enjoy!
Prologue
"He's been in there for days ", Pidge breaks the silence.
Allura , Hunk, Matt and Pidge were on the couches mopping in boredom. It had been four days since Voltron had switched paladins, again. They hadn't trained, fought or even tried to form Voltron yet.
"Shiro wouldn't let us do nothing ", Alura sighed. Pidges body clenched.
"But Shiro isn't here anymore, OK" they exclaimed frustrated. Everyone had been on edge lately.
"It can't be easy for Lance, guys. Give him a chance", Hunk begged like the lovable self he is. Pidge, still angry, mumbled something under their breath and jumped over the couch.
"Wait, I have fresh cookies! " Coran says entering the room with a plaster of fuming wafers.
"I don't want any" says Pidge, escaping the awkwardness by hiding behind their computer.
" Not so quickly there Pidge", a voices announces. Everyone turns to the entrance where Lance stands confidently and there is a collective gasp. No one dares move, fearing he would break like glass.
"Suit up we're training in ten, we have to be able to form Voltron if we want to survive this war.", Lance says a tinge of humour in his voice, but nothing like before. Even matt who barely knew him, senses the change in his attitude, a certain innocence had left and duty overcame his normally emotional self.
And when the sky is falling
Chapter 1
Making A Scene
Lance couldn't take the meeting anymore, all this useless bickering. Chulatt and Plachu where fitting about the order of next attack and they kept on turning to the Commander of the black lion to solve their issues. He had to get away. He hadn't slept in days, he hasn't even gotten close to the game controllers in months now. He was about to burst and he couldn't do it here.
" How did Shiro do it? ", he thought.
Then a cold vale seemed to fall over his face, Shiro he thought. He stood up suddenly, all the members of the coalition in the room froze and turned towards him. He excused himself and left the room. For a moment he stood in the corridor not sure what to do, he certainly didn't want to go back into that meeting. So he walked, not really going anywhere. He walked until he heard voices, Pidge and Hunks voices, but he stopped when he heard his name. He crept to the door to listen to his what his friends were saying about him.
"Have you seem Lance lately?", pidge said sounding worried.
" No, not really actually", Hunk said stopping cutting some mystery vegetable.
" I know he's busy being the black Lion and all, but it seems like he's changed, before all this he would always set pranks and joke and make fun, now he doesn't even smile. I thought Keith coming back might remind him of before, you know before Shiro disappeared, but I feel like I have seen him even less", they sounded sad. Lance slide to the floor, head between his hands.
"Ya, I thought would brag about being the leader of voltron, instead he's closed off he hasn't even tried to get any of the girls of the coalitions to give him their number! ", hunk said trying to lighten up the conversation and falling. They both were right he had changed.
" We should probably ask The Princess for advice about it she seems to be the only personne her to see lance anymore", said Pidge.
" If old lance was here he would say it's because Alura finally realised her undeniable love for him ", Hunk added.
" Ha, I would say that ", Lance whispered. Then he stood up and quietly walked passed the kitchen without a words to Pidge and Hunk

Finally he decided that a swim could clear his mind. He smiled remembering the first time he went to the pool when the elevator broke and he was stuck with Keith. He now knew how to get to the pool instead of the ceiling though. He got changed, picked up a towel and when he left the locker room Keith stood waiting in the hall. His slight smile disappeared. Keith slammed him onto the wall and got right to the point.
"What the hell Lance, Why have you been ignoring me? I here and it like I can't even see me.", Keith said angry, his hand on either side stopping Lance from going anywhere.
"Keith you had your chance, you had your choice and you didn't chose me. ", he couldn't look keith in the eyes, he knew that if he didnt there would be no stopping.
"But, I choose you now", Keith said, his voice softer then Lance had ever heard it. Gentilly he grabbed Lance's face turning so they were looking at each other in the eyes. Lance pulled away, he dropped his towel and his eyes went from exhausted to stone cold in a second.
"You can't do that, you left me, I didn't want to get out of my bed for weeks. I avoided the west wing because I could bare pas in front of your room! ", Lance yelled going from zero to one hundred in a tick. "I cried myself to sleep every night, Keith, but I had to get it together because I didn't abandon Voltron, I DIDN'T RUN AWAY."
"Don't play that.", he responded stunned.
" You know my story, you know it's hard for me. ", Keith said trying his best to keep his cool.
"What is hard Keith? Admitting your feelings, being part of a team that cares about you or is it just me that difficult to you? " Lance said almost taunting. He tried to be civil, but his emotions exploded.
"It was hard for me too Lance, don't claim to be the only victim in this. I had to make a hard decision something you haven't had to do!", Keith matching his anger to Lances.
"I haven't had to make hard decisions?!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. "I haven't seen my family in over a year, they think I'm dead! I have to decide you is worth saving every day! I have to sacrifice planets only to get a inch closer to overthrowing Galwra. I have already lost so much…"
"At least you have a families worrying about you, I have no one, Earth hasn't even noticed that I'm gone! ", interrupts Keith red faced and clenched fists.
"No one, eh. What about your mom who is in her room in the castle right now. You have her and she is here right now. " Lance throws about to walk away.
"Keith you made up your mind when you joined the blade and now I have responsibilities that I count on upholding because I care. " Lance said leaving Keith fuming behind him. He walked away head high, warms tears streaming down his face.

Around the corner Allura stood processing all she had heard.
