Klance Voltron fanfic (Keith X Lance)

1.

Lance wasn't too big on 'self-discovery'. He thought he had everything sorted out. And he did, for the most part. He knew that no matter who he was or what he did, the ones he cherishes will always be first. He would protect them, no mater how high the stakes. To Lance, that's really all that matters. At least it was, before last week's mission.
They had been fighting a fleet of galra, about twenty or so ships attacking the castle from each side. The Paladins immediately knew what they had to do. Shiro was a natural leader, he knew how to be in control of everything and make everyone feel safe with him. Hunk was a great engineer, he had everyone's back had they needed him, and made everyone feel at home. Pidge was arguably the most intelligent person Lance has ever met. Without her, they would be lost. Keith was incredibly fast, and an excellent fighter, no matter what the situation. Lance wondered why he was one of the Paladins. One of the incredible group of heroes that people adored and looked up to. Heck, Lance didn't even understand why his little brother would look up to him, let alone millions of people both on earth and in space. 
At first it was just a thought crossing his mind. However like many others, that thought multiplied into billions of fluttering, violent thoughts and filled Lance once again with the hatred of himself that he was once used to, back in the training school when he would never be enough. When it came to something like this, even a calming swim in the castle's immense swimming pool couldn't help.
Nevertheless, he went to swim for a while anyway. If only to be alone with his thoughts. Ha, Lance smiled sadly, the very thoughts reminding me just how useless I am. At home, he had a job. Lance had to be a good role model for his little brother. That wasn't too hard. He knew how to be a good brother and role model, he just followed what his older brother did. In the castle, he couldn't exactly copy Pidge's intelligence, Hunk's engineering and cooking skills, Keith's speed and chivalry, or Shiro's strength. In the castle, he was just Lance. Useless Lance. He quickly bit his lips and chided himself in his head. Not now Lance, not now you idiot. Wait till the swimming pool. In there, you can drown yourself in them and it wouldn't matter. Just. Wait.
Lance bit his lips until they bled before he finally got to the swimming pool's entrance. Only to bump into Keith. Lance didn't dare open his lips to apologize in fear of the tears he kept in. Keith raised an eyebrow at the trembling Lance in front of him.
"Lance? All good?" Lance stared at the ground and nodded. "Need me to stay..?" Keith continued. Lance shook his head. Keith realized how obviously quiet Lance was being, which really didn't happen often, so he leaned in for a hug. The outcome was debatably the most awkward hug to ever grace the timelines, with Keith patting Lance awkwardly on his back and Lance too surprised to return it. They stared at each other in silence for a while, before Keith finally decided to speak up. "Hey man.." He gave Lance an awkward smile, "I'm happy that you're here." A faint blush spread across his cheeks and Keith had to walk away to not be embarrassed further. He scuttled away and hoped he had made Lance feel better, even for a quick second. He knew he had to do something more, but not exactly sure what. Meanwhile, Lance still stood at the entrance, his cheeks stained with tears but still smiling. He had to stay strong, for everyone. He wasn't going to be more useless by crying his heart out and not helping. He opted for a quick swim in the pool, just a few laps and went back up to the control room to see if there was anything he could do to help.
