Two Sides Of One Coin: 'Seventh Wheel' [Voltron]

{Chapter 2}

I started to stutter and i quickly shut up before the two started to figure something out.

"Sorry again Shiro"

"That's alright, as long as your okay now- Not like Pidge here falling asleep next to green on her laptop"

I slightly chuckled at that as Pidge folded her arms at the leader, none of them knew how i felt. I just want to keep the happiness and joy of memories around us even when we are in the middle of a war.

"If it means getting Lance to wake up early for training and morning meetings, you can't blame me- why are you up this early Lance?"

I froze from where i moved, only just made it to the space galactic 'fridge'

"Uhm. One of the mice got trapped in the air vent near my room, thats what woke me.."

I signalled a cough. By the looks from Shiro, he wasn't buying it but gave a nod anyways.

Both of them quickly got what they wanted to start their day, I tried to leave before them but Shiro stopped me.

"Lance, you know if anything is troubling you. You can always talk to me or any of the others, we're protecting each other remember that"

He let one of those smiles he gives when he has either finished a speech or celebrating another victory from the galra.

His smiles to others were different. Filled with emotion. Yeah he and Shiro talked sometime, worked together and two-three missions.. less then anyone.

His smile to Keith, its full of strength.

His smile to Pidge, its full of bravery

And his smile to Hunk, its full of compassion.

All i get is a smile with no approved emotion. No courage or expectation.

Of course that one time he announced i was the sharpshooter. But i hardly go on missions with him or others. Like you don't need close combat all the time.

I sighed, almost forgetting Shiro was stood there. I left Shiro without a response. You're an embarrassment McClain.

"Yeah"

Shiro didn't expect that response after he waited for Lance to speak.

"Look why not train with me and Keith for an hour or so, it'll clear your mind. I know there's something in that head of yours, Lance"

I looked away, maybe he was right. Well there is something bothering me of course! Its just. I think training will clear it.

"I'll just get my bayard then-" Before i could finish, Shiro agreed and walked off the way to the training deck to meet Keith.

Then i realised. Keith. If i act up in front of him, he'll accuse me of something again. Saying that i'll bring the team doen if i don't focus.

Patience yeilds focus.

That only works on Keith.
