Continuation of my one-shot: Over in a Tick / Keith lost Lance. At least, that's what he'd completely prepared himself to face. But when the team brings Lance back, tensions between both boys are higher than they'd ever been before. While a certain moody red paladin shuts out blue to protect himself, will he end up losing Lance anyways? It might be a price he's willing to pay.

Lance is addicted to the feeling he gets when he bonds with the paladins whenever they form Voltron. In other words, he's addicted to the feeling he gets whenever he connects with Keith's energy. During one battle, he pushes it too far. During the next battle, he can't push it far enough.
