IM SO FUCKING SHOOK RIGHT NOW! THANKS FOR OVER 100 READS!!! This is also kind of like a circus AU but there still in space and it only consists of Lance and Hunk being the only two who can do the circus acts.
The paladins were used to this by now. Everyday it was the same routine for the two paladins. One of them would say a petty insult to the other, one of them would retaliate, and then they would throw a few punches until Shiro split them up.
Until one day where it got a little heated. More heated than they usually got. It all started when Keith said something to Lance.
"LANCE WILL YOU JUST FOCUS ON TRAINING!"
"HOW CAN I FOCUS ON TRAINING IF YOU KEEP YELLING AT ME!"
"IF YOU ALREADY PAYED ATTENTION DURING TRAINING THEN YOU WOULDN'T GET DISTRACTED SO EASILY!"
"JESUS CHRIST KEITH! CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME BE FOR ONE FUCKING DAY!"
Everything went silent after that. Lance was so pissed at this point. Every day Keith berated him like this. Lance was just sick of it at this point. Lance grabbed the controls of his lion tighter and flew it back to his hangar. He angrily stomped out his lion and ran to his room.
Lance sobbed into his pillow for who knows how long. Lance tried to stop, but found himself to start sobbing again. He must've cried and sobbed and whimpered for hours on end until he heard a soft knock on his door.
"Hey Lance? Buddy? It's me, Hunk. Will ya let me in?" Hunk asked from behind the metal surface. Lance halted his sons for a second before he mumbled a "come in" to Hunk.
Hunk walked into the room and sat on the bed next to Lances broken frame. Hunk gently rubbed Lances back to calm him down. Lance continued to cry softly.
"Lance, are you ok? I know you're obviously not ok, but...I guess it's the rule to ask." Hunk rambled as he continued to rub Lances back. Lance then popped his head from the pillow. He looked at Hunk, tears still streaming down his cheeks.
"SHY DOES HE HATE ME, HUNK? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?" Lance questioned as he barried his face into Hunks chest. Hunk rubbed Lances hair in an attempt to comfort him.
"Lance...you just have to think. It's Keith after all. He's just been put off by all of this. We recently found out that Zarkon used to pilot the black lion, we found out Keith was part Galra, we're basically having search parties look for us all over Earth right now!" Hunk said. Hunk was still holding Lance in an efforts to calm him.
Lance nodded gently. Hunk lifted his face a bit and wiped away his friends tears. Lance hugged Hunk. Hunk hugged back as Lance mumbled a stream of "thank you"'s to his best friend.
"Lance...ya know what this calls for?" Hunk asked as he looked at Lance with a gentle smile.
"A SLEEPOVER!" Lane cheered as he shot out of Hunks arms and ran to get his pajamas. Hunk grabbed a pair of spare pajamas that Lance had.
3 Hours Later~
"So how's that thing with you and Shay going!" Lance asked as he continued to braid Hunks hair. Given its short length it wasn't very easy. But Lance was the master at braiding hair. He would braid his siblings hair all the time. He knew how to do fishtails, regular, bun braid, you name it!
"Lance, I told you, we aren't dating! We're just friends!" Hunk defended as he crossed his arms. Lance snickered at his friend and started on his second braid.
"Yeah...friends with benefits!" Lane retorted. Hunk couldn't help but snicker at this. They both erupted in a fit of laughter. Lance finished braiding Hunks hair and backed away to admire his work.
