~Voltron Oneshots 2!~

Oopsts

"All right Paladins, it looks like we're safe for a while. Go rest up and be ready for training tomorrow." Shiro announces, looking at our circle of tired paladins. I instantly hop up and crack my back, shooting a smile at the princess.

She rolls her bright eyes and turns back to Coran, they're mumbling about something at his control panel. A scoff sounds from just infront of me, and Kieth is shaking his head. "Maybe you should spend more time on your aim, than seducing someone."

His comment makes me growl, but before I can say anything Shiro shoots us a glare. The half-Galra rolls his shoulders and makes his way out of the main hull. Hunk is dozing in his chair, and the same for Pidg. "Hey you two! Go to bed-" I call, lightly tapping both of them.

Hunk shoots up, his golden eyes wide as he searches our surroundings. The two silently trudge out and I follow, making my way toward the training deck. I did miss a few shots on the fighter fleet we fought today, Keith did help with them though.

The door whirrs open and I come to face the devil himself. He's stripped of his cropped jacket and black tee, his muscles shine in the harsh light. Sweat drips from him as he swings the sword, clashing into the bot's. I'm stuck staring at his perfect features when he notices me, the bot flings him backwards and he growls. His bright eyes flash with something I've never seen before and the bot is torn in half by the crimson blade.

"You threw me off!" He shouts, slinging his bayard to the side. His harsh tone snaps me from my daze and I huff. "Shouldn't it be harder to do that?" I ask. Without another word I pull my bayard and head to the opposite end of the training deck. I ignore his angry grumbling. The gun appears and I call for targets to show, the holograms dance. Most of them are fizzling away when the bot is thrown into my sight.

"I'm going to shoot it!" I taunt and train my gun on it as it slowly saunters toward me. The raven doesn't respond and I look around the deck, he's gasping on the floor. I take the shot and drop the holograms, turning to him. He's upright and clutching his chest, gulping in air.

I drop beside him and give him a small smile, "don't take in too much." I advise and start rubbing his back, the touch makes him jump. He's glaring at me through his watery eyes, trying to slow his breathing. "You know my youngest sister has asthma?" I tell him, continuing to rub circles into his skin. "Always pushing herself to play sports like the others... would often end up like this." My mind goes back to that little blue eyed girl, Isa was always so determined.

"Hands over your head, it helps your lungs- c' mon you can stand... yeah!" I cheer, helping him stand. His pale forearms drape themselves on his dark locks. I clear my throat and turn to our bayards, anything to look at but him. "Quiznack..." he groans after a while, he's pulling his shirt back on when I look at him.

"Tha- thank you Lance." He grumbles as I drop the red device into his hand. I give him a nod and smile, "...you okay buddy?" I bite my tongue after the words tumble from my lips. Buddy? Really Lance? "The bot knocked the wind out of me."

"This another one of your bonding moments?" I joke, already working to the door. I turn back and a bright smile has cracked his gloomy features, his canines make me take in a fresh gulp of air. "So you're admitting it happened?" The retort stops me in my place and I bury my face in my hands. "I just think we make a great team." I feel my cheeks burn as I dash out of the metal door. You weren't even sure that really happened! I know he's brought it up- no I- My thoughts race even as I drop into my room. I bury myself in my blankets and pray for my demise, but I know there's only stars out here.

"Oh dios mio voy a morir!" I cry into my headset as mountains come into view. Blue is powered down and plummeting in this planet's gravity. "Lance! Are you there!?" I hear Hunk ask just as I slam into the console and everything rings. My nose stings when I pull myself up, and my visor is splashed with blood.
