Summary: Allura and Lance are getting quite chummy, why does it bother Keith so much? And what would happen if Allura were allowed to be just a regular girl?
Disclaimer: Not mine. Never will be. Want my own Lance but its not happening.
***********
"Good evening Oma, I'm here to pick up Allura. We really need to get going or we'll be in serious trouble with Nanny and Koran." Lance greeted the older woman who opened the door to the small home.
"Of course! Come on in young man, which one are you? You'll have to excuse my bad memory dear but at my age I'm lucky if I get my children's names right and them I see every day." the woman laughed and led him into the kitchen.
Lance laughed as well, enjoying the tour of the small woman's humble home. [Reminds me of when I was a kid.] Realizing he was being waited on, he cleared his throat and introduced himself.
"Lance m'am, the name's Lance." he sat in the chair she pulled out for him, across from hers.
"And you're here with the little one how nice. She's such a doll, but I won't waste your time praising her since you probably know how wonderful she is." the woman smiled for a second before becoming serious and stating solemnly.
"But something's wrong with her."
"Wrong with Allura?" Lance asked uneasliy, he'd thought so too lately but felt it was just his imagination.
Oma nodded, "She's working too hard, you can read it in her eyes if you know her well enough to look for the signs. She wearing a lot of make up today, her smiles are not quite as natural, and she had to sit down outside for a moment."
Lance figured it was probably the heat. He was about to ask what that had to do with things when she kept speaking.
"Not due to the warmth in here, her hands are still ice cold despite the three hours she's spent holding Padme while Maru rests." she stirred the pot she'd been sitting beside and took a sip of the broth.
"Her hands are cold?" Lance asked.
"Yes, her hands are cold, you can see her shiver from time to time and her eyes look tired." she set down her spoon and looked back at him.
"So you're saying she needs to rest?"
Nodding, she added, "She needs a break, perhaps she should leave."
Lance frowned, "Leave Arus? There's no way she could leave her home, not that she would."
Shaking her head, she waved away his protests, "She could leave now, at least for a time. She's been fighting and struggling to keep her people together and safe. I hear she's heading up the building project for the new hospitals and medical clinics. She comes to the villages
at least three times a week, plus her studies. She has to deal with the people at Galaxy Garrison and trains as a fighter. The stress is too much for a girl of her age, she's just turning 18!"
"You know... she won't tell me when her birthday is" Lance mused.
"Its the day after tomorrow." Oma stirred the pot again.
"She wasn't gonna tell me... I'll talk to Koran about that break." Lance promised
"That old hissy-fit won't agree with you Lance, you're gonna have to go to Dr. Gorma and see if he'll help you, otherwise she'll never get any rest. And if he does help you and you manage to get her some time off, make sure you get it in writing." their conversation was abruptly cut of by Maru coming downstairs with baby Padme.
Lance stood and greeted the young mother, Maru was only 19 with a 9 month old baby. She lived with Oma in the small house and had been caring for her sick baby for the past week, the intense heat in the house was due to doctor's orders to keep the baby warm.
"Hello Lance, come by to pick up Allura?" Maru handed Padme to Oma.
"Yeah, we've gotta get going or we'll be in for it with you-know-who." he shrugged and followed her upstairs, listening to her chat about the baby's sickness and how sweet it was of Allura to go by to help.
"She's like that, can't stand by and not help one of her friends." Lance commented and grinned as he entered a room behind Maru.
"She was awake and helping fold when I went downstairs." Maru whispered as she tip-toed over beside the princess asleep on top of a pile of laundry.
Lance nodded and bent to scoop Allura into his arms. Shivering, Allura snuggled into him, mumbling something in her sleep.
"She hasn't gotten much sleep lately." Lance said as he walked downstairs and had her cloak settled over her. Allura had removed the pinned petticoats so that the cloak wouldn't get in the way on the bike ride.
"Thanks" Lance smiled and said his good-byes as her Oma came from the kitchen with Padme in her arms.
Settling onto his bike with Allura balled up in front of him, Lance made sure to cover her up carefully to protect her from the cold wind on the way home.
***********
"Ok, how did I end up in my room last night?" Allura asked as she stepped into the dinning room the next morning.
"Morning to you too" Lance smirked and pulled out a chair beside him.
Flopping into it sideways so her back was on Lance's arm, Allura leaned her head against his shoulder and stifled a sleepy yawn with her hand. "Mornin' guys, sleep well?" she asked the others.
Everyone nodded, Keith watching the familiarity between the two across from him. Lance lifted his shoulder a bit to get her attention and used his opposite arm to hand her some buttered toast with strawberry jam. "Thanks" she smiled and took a bite, not bothering to take it from him.
"So not only do I get to ride home with you asleep on my lap, I get to feed you the next morning too?" Lance teased, setting down the toast on the plate before her.
"Uh-huh, you got that right buddy" Allura smiled and sighed as Nanny's voice approached, angry and in full lecture mode.
"What'd I do now?" Allura mused tiredly
"Well, could be the fact that you came down to breakfast in your pj bottoms and tank top with nothing covering your upper body, as is proper." Lance shrugged, "No clue babe."
"No, you're probably right, I didn't want to wear that stuffy cover robe so I just came down without it." turning to rest her cheek against his shoulder, Allura wrapped her arms around his arm whispering, "I'm gonna be busy today and I'm so tired."
"Push back a couple meetings and get some sleep Allie, no joke, you need to rest." Lance pulled his arm away to lift her chin and make eye contact, geting a much better look at her face and frowning.
"You're wearing make-up already to cover those circles huh?"
Allura's eyes widened but she quickly shook her head, "Don't be silly Lance, you saw me drag myself in here. I'd just gotten out of bed when I came down." she smiled and pulled away, turning to the piece of toast on her plate.
"You do look tired prin-" Pidge was cut off by an annoyed princess.
"Can't you PLEASE try to call me Allura? You all seemed so hurt yesterday when you were watching Lance and I, even now you seem rather upset. I'm just a girl, can't you forget even for a moment that I happen to have to wear a crown every once in a while and just treat me as you
would any other female friend?" Allura tapped her fingers on the table top impatiently.
They all nodded, relieved smiles appearing on Pidge and Hunk's faces. Keith gave her a lop-sided smile and stood. "You're gonna want more than that piece of toast right?"
He came around and handed her the toast, taking her plate to get her some food. Nanny entered just then, scolding Allura for not wearing her robe and informing her that Koran would be there shortly to go over her list of things to do for the day.
"Great," Allura ate her toast quietly, while putting on her robe. As Keith settled her plate, now filled with eggs, ham and bacon, she smiled up and thanked him.
"Any time prin... Allie." he excused himself and headed out to find Koran.
"Hey that's my nickname for you!" Lance whined childishly, causing Allura to giggle before rolling her eyes at him.
"You didn't even come up with that, I told you my best friend Teddy called me Allie and you took his name for me, so Keith can do the same." she scrunched up her nose playfully at him and turning to her food, winked at Pidge who's gaze she met momentarily.
***********
"I can't believe its only 3 in the afternoon, it feels so much later." Allura sighed and waved to one of the kids calling her name. She walked alongside Keith watching over the kids playing.
"You thik so? I think if feels early." Keith said, suddenly bowling over in 'pain' as one of the kids ran up and shot him.
"Now I get to be the princess' boyfriend!" the little boy yelled and turned to Allura with a huge grin on his face. "Now you can't go back to him while I'm gone ok? I'm gonna go save some other people." running off, he left a confused Keith and Allura watching him.
"Boyfriend?" Keith wondered
"Where'd he get that?" Allura scanned the area and saw Lance standing off not far away with a smirk on his face, her eyes made contact with his. "Lance!" she shook her head at him and turned away.
Seeing Keith still on the ground, she cleared her throat to get his attention.
"I was just wondering about what the little boy said." Keith shrugged and sat back, "Not to mention I'm pretty comfortable."
Allura looked around for Nanny and seeing her missing, sat down beside Keith, settling her large dress around her. "You know, I really wish I didn't have to wear these, they're so annoying."
Once settled she turned to Keith, watching her with no expression on his face again. "So what was it you were thinking about? The 'boyfriend' comment?"
He nodded and turned back to the kids, "Yeah, no big deal, so what time do we leave?"
Allura checked her watch, "In about half an hour when the kids go in, then you guys are done."
"And you?" he asked, turning back to look at her.
Allura shrugged, "Meeting with the town's people to decide where the medical center is to be put up and stuff. Then I'm going back to Maru's to make sure Padme's ok and then home."
Keith studied her face quietly [Her eyes are kind of dull, not excited or sparkling. She is wearing quite a bit of make-up and her shoulders are actually drooping.]
Suddenly a little girl walked up and sat beside Keith, "You know if you look up at the clouds you can see shapes in them." she lay back and patted the spot behind him.
Smiling and laying back, Keith was surprised when she scooted over, lifted his arm around her and lay her head on him. Pointing up she explained that to see the same cloud, you're heads must be close together.
"Quite right Elva, I used to love watching clouds with my friend and we always lay with our heads close together." Allura smiled at the sight of Keith and the little girl.
Elva smiled at the princess and patted Keith's chest, "I'm sure Keith won't mind if you join us, would you?" she turned to him.
Keith nodded and smiled at the uncertain princess still sitting beside him. "No problem, go ahead if you'd like."
"Ok" moving his arm, Allura lay with her head on his chest near Elva's, his arm wrapped around her waist comfortably. [Mmm... he smells nice] Allura smiled before snapping out of her thoughts and concentrating on the clouds being pointed at.
After a few clouds had been named, the kids had to go inside, so Elva stood and said her goodbyes to Keith and Allura, only Keith answered however.
"She fell asleep on you" Elva giggled while looking down at the slumbering princess.
Feeling Allura's even breathing, Keith nodded at the little girl standing over them. "I guess she did"
"I have to go now, say goodbye to her for me when she wakes up ok?" Elva started walking away before turning to see Keith rolling over carefully, sliding Allura's head from his shoulder to his arm so he could lift her.
She stopped to watch a few feet away and sighed dreamily as her favorite member of the Voltron force picked up the sleeping princess. [Its like a story book]
"Elva!" The teacher's voice interrrupted her day dreaming. Skipping toward the schoolhouse she smiled and excused herself to Miss Presta and the rest of the Voltron force who stood by the doorway waiting for them.
"I'm sorry, it was just so romantic seeing him carry her like that!" Elva sighed and tried to step by when Lance stopped her.
"Who carried whom?" he asked
She pointed to where Keith came down with Allura in his arms. "He's carrying the princess here."
"Ok go back inside for your snack with everyone else now," Miss Presta ordered soflty, watching the young man approaching them.
The guys stepped out and hurried over to Keith.
"What happened to her?" Pidge asked
"Is she all right?" Hunk moved some hair from her face
"She's fine, she just fell asleep." Keith shifted her in his arms and stopped as her eyes fluttered open.
"Keith? What...?" she smiled shyly up at him and held his arm as he set her feet down.
"You fell asleep while naming the clouds" he explained, feeling an odd coldness come over him as she stepped away.
"Thank you for carrying me down here, I'm sorry I fell asleep" Allura wiped the sleepiness from her eyes carefully so as not to smudge her make up.
"Princess if you don't leave now you will be late for the town council meeting." Nanny came up and told her as she draped Allura's cloak over her shoulders.
"I'm going Nanny" Allura sighed and smiled sadly at the guys, "Enjoy your time off ok?"
"Sure thing" Hunk answered a bit sadly.
Remembering that Nanny wouldn't be going with Allura to the meeting, Lance stepped beside her and offered her his arm. "You'll need an escort"
Laying her hand on it, Allura said her goodbyes to the kids and the rest of the team before going out to the awaiting limo. Lance helped her in and then followed, settling beside her.
"I've been telling you to get more rest Allie, today proves that you're working yourself too hard." He told her seriously.
"I'm fine Lance, just a little tired but I can deal with that. There's too much to be done right now for me to take a long rest." Allura smiled softly up at him, "Now shush and let me get in another small nap on the way there, if I'm lucky the driver will go slowly and I'll get a full half hour of sleep."
"Fine" Lanced turned so she could lean on him and watched as she lifted her legs on the empty side of the seat. Pulling her over so her back leaned against his chest, he smiled as she wrapped his right arm around her and snuggled her head into his shoulder.
"Much better" she whispered before falling quickly asleep.

I hope that chapter was good, longer than the previous ones. Thank you to those of you who've reviewed- even the ones I had to coerce (Barbara :D) I'm surprised at how many people like seeing and A/L story, I hadn't thought of making it about them but... I'm starting to like it too. We'll see won't we?
- Please don't forget to review! Thanks!
