Disowned (Klance)

Chapter four: PAIN.

Both Veronica and shiro were worried about Lance. The boy had barely talked to anyone in his family besides Veronica and Lance had not gone home or even showered in over a month. 'Hey Lance' said shiro 'you really need to go home'. Lance looked at the black paladin as if he was going to argue but he was cut off before he even got the chance to protest 'Look I know your worried about Keith so am I Lance but you need to take care of yourself how do you think Keith will feel if he woke up to you not taking care of yourself'.
One hour later Lance was back home eating dinner with his family and with almost no recollection of how he was persuaded to leave Keith in the first place.Even though his beloved Keith was at the forefront of his mind he had managed to scavenge enough motivation to look as if he was happy. Lances family new that Keith got hurt but they didn't know that Keith was his boyfriend or that Keith had very bravely taken that blast for their son. As a result his family was walking on eggshells with him however Lance was still stuck in the prison that was his family's views on his sexuality.
This made the feeling of empathy so underdeveloped that Lance didn't want their in his words 'really crap advice' so he only confided in Veronica. One day when Lance got back from visiting Keith in the garrison med bay he was greeted by his sister. 'Hey Lance can I tell you something'. 'Sure'..... Lance answered with a hint of hesitation in his voice. He wasn't sure if this was a good or a bad thing. Well.... Veronica started 'okay Lance I was gunna ease you in to this news but I can't think of the right words so fuck it' Lance eyes widened and his mouth gaped as his sister so powerfully said the words that confirmed his suspicions as to why she had been so supportive and kind because she knew what being in that prison was like. Because they were one in the same.
