To the Rescue (Klance voltron fanfic)

Mission pt.3

Keith pov
I hated this. Not being able to see what was happening since Lance was tied up behind me, hearing the guard repeatedly hit him. Finally after around 5 minutes of hearing the gun hit my Lance's face, the guard stopped, and left.

"Are you ok Lance?" I asked quietly. I was worried about him. He was being stupid again. God he's gonna be the death of me.

"Y-yeah I'm totally fine. His hits were pretty weak anyway." Lance replied, his voice was even raspier than before. I cringed.

"You're lying." I said.

"Nah I'm fine." He said. "So what have you been up to lately?" He asked, obviously trying to change the conversation.

"Y'know. Blades stuff." I said shortly.

"Right." He said.

"How have you been?" I asked.

"Same old same old." He said.

"Yeah. How's Voltron been?" I asked.

"It's fine." He seemed like he didn't want to talk about what had been happening when I was gone.

"Are you ok Lance?"

"Yeah" he responded quietly. Something was definitely wrong, but I didn't want to ask when I could see him. I could feel him slightly shaking since our hands were so close together. I felt bad. He had been going through something.

I couldn't tell him how lost I had been while he was gone. If I'm being honest, I was purposely making that general guy hate me, so nothing like my nightmare could happen. I'd rather die than have Keith die. Keith shifted slightly. I froze. Did Keith just grab my hand? Oh God I'm holding my crush's hand right now.

"I- sorry I could feel you shaking and thought this might help-" Keith tried explaining frantically. He started to let go but I held his hand tightly.

"I-uh it does help... thanks Kogane." I replied. Real smooth Lance. My cheeks were burning. Keith cleared his throat.

"No problem McClain." He replied.
