What I once was - Altean Lance

8-I am sorry...

No one's POV-

It has been a month since the confession of Kieth and things have looked up. He has seemed a bit nicer to everyone although nice to the crew is him not trying to bite their heads off. Him and Lance have been heads over heels for each other, constantly flirting, clinging and kissing to Allura's own anger. She has been held off a lot by Hunk and Pidge with tasks but she always finds a way to prevent the two getting too lovey dovey even against her own morals a lot.
Coran though seemed so intrested in the development of the two. Never in his years has he ever seen such a development of love between the Galra and Alteans since... Since well Zarkon and Honerva. But they were too flawed! Too broken. Too driven by greed and want. Lance and Kieth wouldn't end up like them. Right? Right....

The team are on a mission. The Galra have been popping up again around the north sector so that means a mission. Hunk and Pidge together, Shiro on recon from the Black lion and Lance and Kieth alone to infiltrate the ship to Allura's annoyence.

Lance's POV-

"For the last time Allura I will be fine! I have done this hundreds of times before! I am a sharpshooter so I will be just fine!" I chuckle as she glares at me and bites her nails in worry. "I-I know Lance I do but are you sure? I mean you could stay here and I can teach you to drive the ship or-"
"No. They need the Blue lion and I will be fine! Why are you worrying-"
"Because you're my baby brother! I have just got you back after losing you! I can't lose you again Lance!" She holds her hand tightly as tears spring in her eyes carefully navigating to find mine. I feel guilt pang on my heart as I place a hand on her shoulder. "I don't want you to get hurt! Not just from the Galra but from Kieth and-"
"Allura... I am okay I promise. I will be fine now don't cry" I smile slightly as I wipe the stray tears from her face slowly. "I will be safe..." My cheeks glow slightly blue along with Allura's pink cheeks. What? She pulls me down slightly and places her forehead on mine slightly as she lets out a sigh. "Okay... But I still don't think Keith is a good influence" She smirks as my face goes red. "HEY! You are not my mother! My love life is just fine!"
"Oh sure Lance. You forget I am much much older than you, I would know!" She allows me to stand up straight again while rolling her eyes a bit. I try to calm down my heated face as I huff at her a bit. "LANCE YOU COMING! I DON'T WANT THIS TAKE LONGER THAN IT HAS TO!" Keith's shout slivers towards me as I sigh. "COMING!" Allura smirks grabbing my helmet. "I believe this is yours." I go to take it but she grabs my wrist. "I expect you back in one piece Lance McClain"
Fear runs all around me as I give her a nervous smile. "O-Of course! You have my word sis. Tienes mi palabra! Lo prometo... Por favor no me hagas dano!"
"Mhm... Go on then with your... Boyfriend" She releases me and I bolt it down the corridors like my life depends on it. Go go go! I dart it to the lions. Running right into Keith who catches me before I fall. "Are you trying to get hurt you idiot!"
"No! And I am not an idiot!"
"You are right. You are my idiot unfortunantly" And with that I find myself in a kiss underneath our two lions who seem to subconsciously turn away as if to go 'eww our owners are flirting!' I don't pull away though. His lips on mine send darts of joy inside my body as I cling onto his arms. My heart is racing. My blood is rushing. My body is asking for more and more. The world freezes a moment before we are forced to release air. Oh sweet air! "I knew I could make you-"
"No Lance do not make me regret giving you a kiss."
"But why~" He goes red releasing fast and giving me a bit of a glare as if to say 'why did I fall for you!'. He drags me along, pushing me a bit to the Blue lion. "Right mission now okay? No stupidity, no messing around and no flirting with me!" 
"But why!~" He groans and walks to his lion. "I swear that one of these days you will be the death of me!"

~Timeskip~

The mission is going well mostly! Me and Keith got in with ease. I have been avoiding guards enough and with my darling boyfriends finger, this place has been easy to navigate! After some convincing, Keith agreed to go look by himself while I be lookout. The hero. The watchdog! The amazing spy! Nothing will ever go wrong-
"You!" I turn to see Lotor staring daggers at me with a guard or two. I have been caught! How on earth did that happen in less than 10 dobashes! I pull out my bayard and make it into a pistol. "Hi? I am just going to-"
"Get him!" I bolt up as the guards come at me. I shoot them swiftly ignoring the blow back as I doge their blades speeding towards me. Come on Keith! Any day now while I am still young- and alive! I would love to still remain alive in this century! These lot won't even let me talk. I press on my helmet fast. "GUYS! I need backup I have been spotted!"
"What?! But there was no one in your secter I swear-" Pidge panics as she checks all of her files or so I assume. I hear Keith running towards me. "You idiot! Don't you dare do anything stupid! Please!"
"I will try-" I feel something slice my chest. Blood oozing slowly from the wound as my bayard drops to the ground. Pain seeres up my whole body as I see Lotor before me. "Well well Blue Palidin. Seems like you won't get help anytime soon. Now I have an offer for you!" He pushes me a bit behind him as I wince. Tears threaten to rise as I bite down my lip. Come on! No! I am fine! I am fine! I lean on the wall as he forces off my helmet seeing my face. His eyes flicker with shock for a moment before chuckling loudly. 
"So your Altean? Seems like someone did survive without help. That makes my offer even more gripfying!" I see Keith arrive holding his sword tightly. His face is chipped with cuts and bruices from attackers. This was a trap! No wonder they haven't attacked! "What do you want Lotor!" 
"Oh it's very simple really! You see I may not work with my father in his cause but I too have my own goals. I have a proposal. You can either leave but die with the red Paliden and that would be such a waste. Or" He holds my face in his grip as I stir trying to pull away. I feel goosebumps run up my body as he smirks. "You can work for me and I will leave your friends all alone. No one will die of course and they will be protected. So... What do you say?"
"I-"
"Lance! Don't do it! I swear we can just leave- We will all be fine!" More pain jolts up my body as I turn to look at him. Taking it all in one last time. His mullet, his scar, his brown eyes, his skin... his lips... The pain in his eyes. My freedom is worth him living. Everyone lives! If I take the deal. The devils hand. "Kieth..." I look into his eyes as hot tears stream my face. "Tell Allura I am sorry... And Coran that I am sorry for never listening in class."
"No!" Lotor laughs as he halls me up a bit, ignoring my bleeding body. I feel my heart sink as guards run at Keith. Tearing him far away from me. From his only boyfriend. I am sorry Kieth... "LANCE!" It goes black...
