Every night she sees him in her dreams. Every night he takes her hand in his and looks in her eyes. Every night he brushes his fingers over her face and she leans in his palm closing her eyes. And then he slowly approaches her and just as he's going to put a gentle kiss on her lips she wakes up.
Allura sits up on her bed and breathes heavily. She feels the tears on her cheeks. And then she сan't sleep and just waits for a new day to come.
On some nights, he takes her hand and puts it to his own face, his beautiful face with smart eyes and a little crease between the eyebrows. He leans in for her touch, living kisses on the wrist, and asks her 'Do you trust me, Allura?'
And again she wakes up and can't sleep.
She eats, she walks, she participates in meetings, but the more time passes, the more she looks like a ghost.
Soon she starts to see him not only in her dreams. Lotor is behind Shiro's back in the meeting hall or in the chair next to one of the Coalition members. He is in the dining room, and in the training center, in Allura's room and in the Blue Lion. Usually he is too far and she wants to run for him, but she resists this desire. Once he was so close to her that she tried to touch him but he just vanished.
The others begin to notice her strange behavior. Lance asks her how she is every day, Hunk gives her cookies and milkshakes, Pidge and Keith just look sad, Shiro tries to convince her to go to the doctor.
Eventually Allura can't stand this anymore. She wakes up in the middle of the night, puts on her suit and goes to her Lion.
'Do you trust me, Allura?' pulses in her head over and over again.
'Yes, Lotor, I trust you...' she whispers as she sits into the cabin of the Blue. 'And I'm going to find you. I'll save you.'
'I'm waiting for you, my Princess.'
Allura sends her Lion into space, loads the coordinates, and puts it on autopilot. Then she leans back in her chair and closes her eyes.
She sees a dream. Like hundred dreams before it. Lotor, his face, his eyes, his touch and his soft voice. He slowly approaches her and kisses her deeply. Allura smiles in her sleep.
