Lance's p.o.v:

  Lance quickly made his way towards the training room, more or less jogging most of the way there. He wanted to be by Keith's side as soon as he could after hearing about what happened, not caring how winded he was or how many weird glances he got from the castle staff as he made his way to him. If he had only gone with his gut instinct earlier this morning to check in on Keith- maybe, just maybe, he could've been there to deter people from trying to harm his mate.. He should've stayed with him! Once the training room doorway was finally in sight he slowed down, trying to catch his breath before he entered the room. The scent of another alpha's pheromones was all over the place, it was so overwhelming that it almost made him nauseous. He saw three people right off the bat, two people who looked to be guards and Coran off to the side neatly packing his things away. Where? Where is he? Lance's face must've been easy for the two guards to read because the Altean guard just jutted out their thumb towards the wall and there he was, Keith was sitting against the wall and it seemed like he hadn't noticed that Lance was even there yet. A wave of relief hit him when he saw his mate, though he was still kind of on edge. What if Keith was actually injured and he had just failed to notice yet? What kind of alpha would he be if he couldn't even look after his own mate?

  He stood there in front of Keith, offering one of his hands out to him. Keith seemed to snap out of it and finally realized that his alpha was there with him, hesitating before placing his own hand in Lance's. He helped him up off the dirty training room floor so that his mate could stand up on his own two feet, then proceeded to carefully look him over for any injuries that he might've left out of his story when he was on call with Allura. Lance gently tilted Keith's head side to side, semi-squishing his mate's face in the process of making sure he didn't miss anything. He usually would've been swatted away at this point but Keith seemed.. distracted.. as if he was lost in thought. "Darling? Are you.. alright?" He asked, his voice only a little more than a whisper. Even though it seemed that Keith was unharmed, something was still a little off with him. Asking such a question was normal in this kind of situation but he never actually expects an honest answer from Keith, since this particular omega likes to act tough and independent even in situations when he needs someone by his side the most. His mate looked up at him, then signed 'let's talk about this later'. Later?.. But he wanted an answer. Lance glanced over to the other three people in the room, the guards looked back at him with confused expressions.

  "Were you two here when it happened?" He questioned calmly, fighting his natural instinct to raise his voice in search of the answers he wanted. Both of them nodded in response. "Would you like us to report to you what happened, your highness?" Alrid replied back just as calmly as Lance had spoken to them. Calyx gave Alrid a worried look but didn't dare say a word about the situation at hand, as if worried for Alrid's well being. "That shouldn't be necessary, right Lance?" Keith asked sheepishly, as if he realized halfway through his sentence that he may have crossed a line. He looked down at him, kind of annoyed that he had spoken in his stead just now since he had wanted their information. "I suppose it isn't." He replied pointedly, forcing a smile upon his face. The two guards bowed and walked out, Coran got up and turned to the future king and queen and did the same before following the guards out of the training room doors.

  "Do you mind telling me why you just did that? I kind of wanted to hear what they had to say, it wasn't really your decision to send them away." He questioned, trying to keep a calm tone but it still sounded a tad bit angry. All Lance got in return was silence, it was as if his mate wasn't even listening to him. "Keith." He said sharply before roughly grabbing Keith's arm. "Let. Go." Keith replied, glaring up at Lance. That look on his face made him freeze completely for a moment or two, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't at least the tiniest bit intimidated by his mate. He let go of the omega's arm then awkwardly kept his arms down at his sides, watching as Keith walked away from him towards the training room doors. Was he angry? Is he leaving him here? Where will he go? Does Keith hate him now? Will he avoid him? Lance's thoughts ran wild up until the small Omega closed the doors and started heading back to him, leaving him stunned and at a loss for words since he thought his mate was surely storming off.
