Korila and Keith exited the pod, and onto the castle of lions. "They are probably in the control room" Keith said as the garla and half garla walked through various hallways to the control room. To their luck no one was there. "Maybe they are in the healing pod room. The two continued there walk through the castle until they got to the room full of healing pods. The pair walked in the room to see all the paladins huddled up near a healing pod. "Ummm hey guys" Keith said, all the voltron members turned around and yelled "Keith!". All the members of voltron were there except one. There was shiro, pidge, hunk, allura,and coran….wait where was lance. " Keith who is this?" Asked allura. "This is my mom, but where is lance." Keith said. "Ummmm well you see about that lance-
therewasabattleandlancejumpedinfrontofshiroandgotshotrightthroughthestomach!" Shiro started as hunk interrupted him in a fast jumble of words. "What" "lance jumped in front of shiro and got shot right through the stomach, lance knew you cared a lot about shiro so he has been making sure shiro was ok until you got back" pidge said. "Lance took many beatings for shiro, he even lost a leg, but he is over in a healing pod and Should be out in a while" said coran. "Umm why don't you paladins come with me and my son an stay here with this lance guy" korila said. Team voltron followed her out the door and left Keith in the room. Keith just looked at the healing pod lance was in. Sure enough lance only had one leg and a dark bruise on his stomach( the bruise being where lance was blasted). Lance had messy hair and a semi pain and peaceful look on his face. Something looked different about lance, or just the missing leg on the bruise but he had ears like allura and coran sans heck he even had altean marks. Guess lance was an altean, but it explains why he could turn off the self destruct in the castle. Pidge would have to make lance a robotic le- oh wait there was one already on the table over in the corner of the room. 'Poor lance he must be in so much pain, he took so much to keep shiro safe for me, guess really does know how much I'd hate to lose my family, but does he know how much I'd hate to lose him?" Keith thought. " why would lance risk his life for what I care about?" Was Keith's final thought before he was thrown into realization. The pod opened letting out a hissing noise. Lances once unconscious body now awake was out of the pod. "K..Keith?" Lance said. "LANCE!" Keith yelled jumping in lances arms, lance hugged Keith back. " why?" Keith mumbled into lances shoulder. "Why what" "why would you be such an idiot and risk your life?" Keith said as lance broke the hug to look at him, "when shiro was gone you were a mess and I figured if something happened to shiro again you'd be devastated, I took it as my liberty to keep shiro safe so matter what" lance said as tears grown in Keith's eyes. " so that don't mean you need to risk your life you stupid idiot, I care about all of you not just shiro, you idiot what happens to shiro don't matter, your more important, your the red paladin voltron needs you the entire cosmos needs you, I need you" Keith said as the tears in his eyes started to flow like the niagara falls. "I'm sorry ok, I was just trying help you kitten" lance said. "Wait.. kitten, where did that come from?" Keith asked looking up at lance with a small smile. "Well…. I'll just say it and I'm not gonna repeat but.. you look like a kitten, kittens look cute but can be mean only when needed or when annoyed" Lance said making Keith blush "so...you think I'm cute?" Keith said making a deep red blush flash onto Lance's face. "Stop twisting my words you" Lance said "I'm not twisting anything" "aww babe so you mean you don't twisting that body for me anymore?" Lance said joking around. As Lance said this is face was on fire, by a dark read blush. Keith just pushed Lance as the Cuban male stated laughing. "Oh shit we need to get Pidge and Coran in here" Keith said with sudden realisation and Lance fell to the floor.
"Ok my boy, now stand" Coran said running his mustache between his fingers. Lance slowly stood up. When Lance was full on standing Coran and Pidge nodded. "It's so good to have you back" hunk said almost crushing Lance's ribs in a hug. "Ok bud now calm down your crushing me" Lance said as hunk let go of Lance and mumbled a short "sorry". "So who is this?" Lance asked pointing to Keith's mom. "This is my mom" Keith said with a blush, 'wow I didn't think it would be this embarrassing having my crush and mom meet' Keith thought. "My name is korila"said Keith's mom as she shook hands with Lance. "I'm Lance" "walk with me, I've learned about all the other paladins except you" korila said as her and Lance left the room.
"So you are the Lance" "yep" Lance said. "My son Keithro told me so much about you, you couldn't get him to shut up" korila said with a giggle " he talks about me? I figured he would talk about shiro all the time, he's always with shiro" Lance said looking down with disgust as he thought of how Keith was always with shiro. "Oh trust me he likes you more, and it looks to me that you like him" korila said making Lance blush " yeah I do, I don't know if he told you but we had a bonding moment and he cradled me in his arms, I liked to him and said I forgot to see if he would be upset that I forgot it. I wanted to see I'd he liked me back and if he was sad or disappointed I forgotten it I would got my answer but he just got mad and stormed off " Lance said. "Well trust me he told me and said he acted mad but was sad about it, you know I had this talk with him on the way here but you know how Keithro is half galra?" Korila said, Lance nodded in reply. "Well all galra are split into groups of betas, omegas, and alphas. My son is an omega and you can tell based off of sent, you are an alpha, Pidge is a beta, hunk is an omega, and shiro is an alpha. Omegas and alphas all have a mating season which is in two days, in which they breed. All omegas can get pregnant, I believe that is your human term for it" korila said. "So let me get this straight, Keith is omega and I'm alpha and Keith wants me to be his mate and I can get him pregnant" Lance said to sum it all up, korila nodded and said "yep and you better take care of my son" and with that she walked away. 'looks like I better go catch me the prettiest omega around' Lance though ght as he started to look for Keith
So far Lance's quest for Keith was a total bust, Keith was nowhere to be found in the castle. The only place left to look was his room. Lance walked down the hall to his room and opened the door. There Keith was on his bed, looking at a picture on the mullet headed boys phone when Lance had taken it. 'I've finally found you mullet' Lance thought as he quietly walked over to his bed. "You looking at pictures of us mullet, how sweet" Lance said making Keith jump. "What do you want Lance?" "Well you mom told me about you being an omega and your mating season being in two days and also how you wanted me to be your mate" Lance said pinning Keith down onto his bed. "W..wait she t….told yo..you that.." "yep kitten, she told me everything" "so you hate me then?" Keith asked avoiding looking into Lance's ocean blue eyes, "oh hell no kitten you're too beautiful to hate" Lance said gently placing his lips on Keiths in a kiss. Keith kissed Lance back wrapping his arms around Lance's neck . Lance placed his hands on Keith's lower back. Keith pulled away from the kiss to get air, his face was flushed and bright reddish-pink. Lance looked into Keith's lilac colored eyes as Keith looked into his ocean blue ones. Both teens were in a trance until it was broken by the one and only space dad. "Keith can I come in?". Keith pushed himself off of lance and opened the door for shiro. " what do you need shiro?" " well you see I umm…" shiro said. " just spit it out shiro"Keith said wanting to get back to his lance time. "How do I ask allura out?" Shiro blurted out. "That's a question for lance or hunk shiro not me" "fine I will go ask hunk"shiro said walking away. Keith closed the door and turned around. "Now where were we" Keith asked and lance pulled Keith onto the bed, and on to his lap. "Hmmm at the part where we cuddle because if someone walks into the room who knows what they'll see" lance says laying down. " you are a pain" Keith said looking down at lance, "yeah but I'm your pain kitten"
