It's Foolproof (Lance x Reader)

Diligite Dances

It's been a couple weeks since you and Lance had started "dating."

Lately, you and Lance have been inseparable. You two would sit together during mealtimes, play games around the castle, and spend all-nighters just for fun more frequently. Lance was thrilled at all the time that he got to spend with his best friend.

On the other hand, Keith was hyper-aware of the lack of attention that he was used to getting from you. Just a month ago, you were always intent on hearing whatever he had to say. You always smiled at him and laughed at his sarcastic remarks. And now, a lot of that attention was directed toward Lance these days, whether it was intentional or not.

And honestly, Keith didn't know how he felt about that.

"Sup, Lancey-Lance. What's on the agenda for today in 'Operation: Jealousy'?" You ask, jumping onto the couch in the common room across from him.

"Same as usual, except today we're going on a mission, so we're gonna tone it down so that we don't annoy the others," Lance says, flipping through a comic book.

"Ah, got it."

Lance glances up from his book at you and his lips quirk upward, "You look cute today."

You blink in surprise at his comment.

"...Thank you."

"No problem."

Suddenly the alarm blares, signaling everyone to report to the main deck.

Right now, the five paladins were on a rescue mission on planet Diligitis.

You, Allura, and Coran were all inside the castle, providing air support as the paladins were inside their lions, taking out as many Galra ships as they could.

The planet was mainly greenery and had plenty of flowers and trees, but had a numerous amount of inhabitants who were taken prisoners by the Galra.

Coran, who knew the most about this planet's history, managed to give a brief summary of what he knew about it. "This planet was blessed by the goddess Aphrodite. The ancient inhabitants based their lifestyles on love and were most proud of the beauty that their planet possessed. Long ago, the flowers and nature found on this planet gave the power of beauty and youth. As for the creatures found here, I'm not so sure. Legend says that the creatures gave some sort of weakness for whoever was bitten by them. What that weakness is, I don't know."

"So I'm guessing the Galra is trying to smuggle this planets' creatures in order to find out how they can weaken their enemies by raising the creatures to fight for them," Pidge states, piloting her green lion to shoot a beam at a nearby Galra fighter pilot.

"Sounds about right. That means we just need to steer the Galra away from the forest of this planet and drive them out for good. Along with freeing these people from their prison camps," Keith remarks, dodging a few lasers.

"You make it sound like that's easy!" Hunk shouts, incredulously.

"It's the only thing we can do," Shiro says solemnly.
