One shot and Christmas is in jeopardy
A/N: 3rd chapter, anyone as excited as me! I love this, so fun. And I just realized that I forgot to tell you in which timeline this is in, it's season 2 of Voltron between episode 11 and 12. Anyway, have fun reading!
3rd of December
Lance stumble out of the pod. He was freezing and exhausted. The blue paladin couldn't actually stand, so he just face plant on the floor. "Ouch," He said with a low voice. His eyes slowly started to be able to see again, and he looked around the medbay. No one was there.
Lance frowned, this was very unusual, normally at least someone was in the medbay when someone came out of the pods. Lance tried to stand up, but his exhausting hit his legs and he fell back down.
Lance ran his option through his head.
Nr. 1: Try standing up until he actually could
Nr. 2: Just lay on the ground and sleep until someone would come and check on him.
Nr. 3: Call out the names of his teammates.
Lance sighed, he honestly just wanted to do nr 2, but, what if his team was in danger, he couldn't just lay on the floor when. Lance tried to stand up again, but it was the same result as last time. Lance looked around the room and saw the walls, maybe, just maybe, he could use that to stand up.
Lance crawled over to the nearest wall, and slowly got up from the floor, and thank Voltron that it worked because if it hadn't, Lance would've laid on the floor sleeping. Lance could feel his body shake, it wasn't normal for him to feel this exhausted after a trip to a pod, he would ask Coran about it. The teen stopped right before he left the medbay, where would the others be? Lance thought about it a little but ended up deciding to go to the kitchen, because he knew without a doubt that Hunk would be there. His best friend was always in the kitchen, especially if he was nervous.
Where it normally would take Lance 5-7 minutes to get to the kitchen from the medbay, this time it took 15 minutes for him to get to the kitchen. Lance hadn't thought he could become more tired, but he was wrong, but now he was also very hungry. He cleared his voice and walk into the kitchen while asking out in the air. "Hunk?" Lance's voice was a little husky, but the boy that had been cooking could still hear his best friends voice. "Lance? LANCE! What are doing out of the pod, you should first be out in around 4 vargas" Hunk exclaimed, as he crushed Lance in a hug. This explained why Lance was so tired, apparently, his body had been healing in triple speed.
Lance also noticed something that he really, really had hoped was healed. He still couldn't hear on his left ear. Lance inhaled sharply, fighting back the tears in his eyes. Luckily for him, Hunk didn't notice. His best friend just started rambling about the new ingredients he had found, where one tasted like cinnamon. Lance concentrated on hearing everything Hunk said, it was hard because he had to focus on the words more than normal.
Hunk had been cooking Christmas cookies and made all sorts of confections. Lance happily joined the chat about the Christmas food, they had to make for everyone. Lance had smiled and taken out his knitting set that he had lying in the kitchen. Pidge had joined them at one point sitting with her computer, playing something that looked like an alien version of Tetris.
After a few vargas, and a few cookie tests, Coran came running into the room. "Lance isn't in the pod, have you seen him?" Coran looked at Hunk and Pidge, he hadn't noticed Lance. The blue paladin cleared his throat. "Yeah, the pod just opened," Lance said. The older Altean looked in surprise at the teen. "Oh, well here you are, did the pod do the trick and healed you up?" It was an innocent question but so hard for Lance to answer.
The healing pod didn't fully heal you, you are too weak if they find out they will kick you off the team, and find a better paladin
Lance tried to ignore the voice, but it was both loud and quiet. The boy was silently debating himself, whether to tell them or not.
"Lance, are you still with us?" Coran asked waving a hand in front of the blue paladin's eyes. "Yeah, sorry, spaced out a bit. The pod healed me up just fine, back to the amazing Lancey-Lance" Lance said with a big grin and ate a new cookie.
A/N: What is a good fanfic without some insecurities, I think it's either next chapter or the one after that where some cute KLance fluff will start, so be excited, and all that.
