Hello again! And I am back with another chap!

Guest: Thank you, glad you liked it! And yeah, classic Tony. I felt like he was really the only character I really nailed though. And platonic Klance? I can totally try that. Later though. Later.

BowtieBeats, I'll try to do your idea! Right now, In fact!

But this chapter ended up ok… not my best work.

So I don't own Spider-man or Voltron: Legendary Defender.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Summary: Lance gushes about Spider-man and Keith may or may not be jealous of himself.

I'm sorry, I tried to write this as a cute one, but there's a bit of angst in there too, sorry! Bad writer, bad!

Um… and there are romantic Klance hints in here. Just saying. I probably won't do that again, but I'm just warning you now.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

So. Keith was back on the Castle Ship. As himself.

He can't say he didn't miss being Spider-man. He did miss it. A lot.

However, he knew that Kolivan would get suspicious. And then the rest of the team would get suspicious. And then he would be the suspicious one.

Which is never fun, he might add.

So now he was stuck doing training sims until Shiro forced him to stop again.

He wasn't doing… too bad. He was doing training level 7 now, which was actually kind of high according to Allura.

Of course, he wasn't using any of his powers. He knew that the simulator took note of all of the team's abilities. So that also meant that, whoever had access to the files - whether it was through legitimate means or not - would also be able to see the strengths and weaknesses of everyone who had gone through any of the training exercises.

That would include his superpowers.

Even in a place that seems safe, he had to be careful. It was unfortunate, but necessary. Definitely necessary.

He defeated the bot with difficulty. He had accumulated quite a few scratches from it, but in the end, he beat it. He'd have to fight the gladiator a few more times to make sure he got the hang of it though.

"Yo, Keith!"

Keith turned to the entrance of the room, where Lance stood, waving.

"Are you busy?"

Was he? Not really… but he wasn't sure what Lance wanted him for. And he almost didn't want to find out.

Almost.

"No, I just finished. Why?"

Lance pointed behind him. "Well, you've been at the training deck for several hours now, so I figured you might be hungry. Hunk made us something, since dinner won't be for a while."

Keith blinked. Several hours? Usually, he'd only be training for a few. Shiro would always check up on him before he could go any further than that.

And he was pretty hungry. Stupid spider metabolism.

He nodded. "Sure, I could use some food."

Lance smiled. "Great, let's go!"

The two Paladins walked side by side as they headed towards the kitchen. Before Lance could start talking away like he usually did, Keith needed to ask something. "By the way, where's Shiro? Usually, I see him by now."

Lance made a weird face. "I dunno. Maybe in the control room with Allura or something."

Keith wasn't surprised. When he was masquerading as Spidey, he had also noticed something off about Shiro. Something weird was going on here….

But right now, he had bigger things to worry about. Like food, for example. That was really important. Can't live without food.

Lance looked at him. "So if we're done with that, my turn! Ok, so you know how you were gone for a long while with the Blade guys? Yeah, you sorta missed kind of a lot."

Yeah, no duh. He raised an eyebrow. "I mean, yeah, that makes sense. I was gone for a long time. But since you seem to want to tell me so much… What did I miss?"

Lance's eyes lit up as they entered the dining hall, where there were two plates of… actually almost good-looking food.

He may never admit it, but Keith really did enjoy Hunk's food.

They sat down and both started to eat. However, after his first bite, Lance started to talk about what he seemed to want to talk about. Keith just kept eating.

"Ok, so do you remember how, back on Earth, we had superheroes? Like the Avengers?"

Keith nodded, taking another bite of his lunch. "Yeah."

"Well you won't believe this! Have you heard of Spider-man?"

Another bite. "Yeah, I've heard of him. What about him?" He made sure to keep his voice as emotionless as possible. He didn't want to give away anything.

"He came over to the castle and hung out with us for a while! It was so cool!"

"Really?"

Lance nodded vigorously. "Yep! And he was just as amazing as you may have heard! Let's see, he has super strength, his webs, his overall stickiness to everything…"

Lance kept rambling on as Keith continued to eat his lunch, only half listening at this point.

"...and I would totally go out with him if he asked me on a date."

Keith choked on his food. "What?!"

Lance looked at him in confusion. "What? He's probably the coolest person I've ever met, and he's really helped me out a lot. I really appreciate all of his awesomeness, and, to be honest… I can't help but think he'd be so hot under that mask."

Oh my god. Lance had a crush on Spider-man.

Oh god.

Keith cleared his throat, hoping that it would clear his head as well. "W-what if he's not hot under that mask? Then what?"

Lance shrugged. "Well, then it's fine, because at least he trusted me with his identity, and that would be a real honor."

He was so innocent, it was almost cute.

Lance continued. "I mean… I feel like we bonded a lot over the time he spent with the team. He was always there for us…"

Keith had a feeling he knew where this was going.

"...And no offense Keith, but he's, like, the total opposite of you. He's funny, filled with culture knowledge, has a high and bright voice, optimistic, helpful, clear-headed…"

"Okay Lance, I get it! He's way better than me in every aspect."

Keith couldn't help but maybe feel a little jealous of Spidey. He got complimented so much, while Keith was just a problem to everyone. He knew he let his emotions get in the way sometimes, but…. he always tried to do what he thought best.

He wanted to give the excuse that Lance was just biased because he loved Spider-man to a fault.

But, oh god no, he was totally jealous of himself.

Because no, he knew it wasn't true. Spidey had maybe been the best thing that had happened to the team. He had seen it with his own eyes. Everyone always felt a little better when the hero was around.

They trusted him.

But he was pretty sure they didn't trust Keith.

He was half Galra for god's sake. And he had left his team. Granted, it was for a good cause, but still. Keith knew he had let them down.

He sighed as he picked at his food, no longer feeling the hunger he had felt before. There was no denying it: he might not be as welcome as he may have thought….

But he didn't see Lance shake his head. "Keith… look, I know I said he was amazing and your opposite, but… that doesn't mean that you're bad."

Keith looked up, not really believing what Lance said, but he was willing to listen for once. He wasn't in the mood to talk back.

Lance took this as his cue to continue on. "You've got a lot of your own strong points. First of all, by far, you're the best pilot on this team. And that's hard for me to admit, but it's true. Also, your fighting skills are pretty impressive. I know you're the only one to have made it as far as you did in the simulator."

"Also, I know that you let your anger take over sometimes, but… I know you've just been trying your best, and honestly? I'm glad that you're trying even though I may annoy you on purpose sometimes."

Keith felt a small smile on his face. Lance…

Lance still continued, practically rambling again, talking at almost super sonic speeds. "And you got to pilot the Black Lion, which is pretty awesome too. Also, you may or may not pull off that hideous mullet of yours. And you may or may not be kind of cute when you're as clueless as you are."

Keith perked at this, not sure if he heard correctly. "What?"

"What?"

They say in silence for a while. Had that been Keith's imagination? Because he was pretty sure Lance had called him cute.

No, that must have been an illusion. Maybe he should start eating more…

Hunk walked in the room, probably to check in on them. He seemed oblivious to the current atmosphere. "So, how was it?"

Keith slowly nodded and gave the cook a small smile. "It was good, thanks Hunk."

"No problem buddy, I know you've been working hard with your training and stuff. And what about you, Lance?"

But Lance was totally spaced out, picking at his food.

"Okay then, looks like he's out of it. Well, I'm glad you're liking the food Keith. So I'll leave you to it!"

Hunk left. Another word was not spoken for several minutes before Lance finally seemed to snap out of it.

"So yeah. You're really not as bad as you think, Keith."

Keith smiled. "Yeah, maybe not."

Maybe not.

"By the way… if it wasn't obvious, I may have kind of a crush on Spider-man?"

Keith scoffed. "Nah, it was obvious."

Lance groaned. "Great, now my greatest rival knows about my crush. Anyway, yeah, I do like him. It's just… I also look up to him."

"Why's that?"

"Well, he's a superhero for one. He saves people for a living. He could've used those powers for bad or… or something worse. But instead, he chose to be a hero. With all that power, it would be so tempting to do something not that heroic. I really respect him for that. If that was me with those powers, I don't think… well, you know… I don't think I would've been a good hero."

"But it's not that different from Voltron, right?"

Lance looked at him, a little confused, so Keith continued.

"I mean, as a paladin of Voltron, you have these different abilities you have access to that no other human does. You have a bayard that can change its form with your mind, a jet pack, healing pods, and a lion that is fast and capable of lots of damage. It's almost like having superpowers, isn't it?"

"...Yeah, I guess so."

"So Spider-man has the same responsibility we do. To protect people. That's why he would be a superhero, right? That means that someone out there cares for him too."

Lance smiled at him. "You're right. What am I thinking? Of course we're awesome!"

Keith laughed before he took his now-empty plate and stood up. "Well, I think I'm finished."

"What are you going to do now?"

What was he going to do now? There really was not much to do on this ship.

"I don't know, what are you going to do?"

"You're asking me? The one person who probably hates you the most?"

"Yeah, something wrong with that?"

"N-no, I'm just surprised that's all. Anyway, I was going to try getting past the level I was stuck in on the video game we have. Wanna come?"

Keith shrugged. "Sure, why not? I can't wait to see you lose."

"Oh, it's on."

And Keith had to admit, it was pretty impressive that Lance finished the level on the first try since Keith started watching.

Haha, man, another chapter down. By the way, I also wrote this on the plane, since I've been so bored.

Especially since there is, like, no WiFi above the clouds for some reason. Lol.

It won't be published until a bit though. Because that would be updating way too fast. I mean, I just published a chapter, like…. 4 hours ago! I need more people to read it first, lol.

So. I guess this was a bit of Klance? Idk xD

Anyway, please, leave a review and let me know of some ideas for one-shots! I want to write them!

Bye!
