Space Family

Space Family|Langst

Lance sat on the observatory deck, his feet tucked close to his chest, it was very early and the teen couldn't sleep, his mind was in complete overdrive. The Cuban male lifted his hand up towards the stars in the direction which Coran had said planet earth was in, his home planet. Lance was homesick, very homesick; he missed everything, the trees, the beautiful ocean, the cool breeze, the feeling of the sand between his toes, the busy chatter of the cafe he used to work in and most of all he was homesick for his family. The playful fights between his younger siblings and him, the hugs his mama would give him whenever he felt down, the friendly teasing from his papa, the nights when his younger cousins and siblings would stay up for hours with him to have a midnight feast or camp out.
Saying he missed them wasn't enough, his heart ached for them, he wanted his family. Because the male knew it, he had tears rolling down his cheek, Lance didn't move to wipe them away too lost in his memories to care. His dark blue eyes looking up at the beautiful sight above him, the stars and planets, the thing he continually fought for. Suddenly Lance was thrown back into another memory, one which brought a teary smile to his lips.

"I'm walking alone, the streets are empty The only thing I can see is my own silhouette"

A song which he used to sing to his younger family, whenever someone was upset or depressed.

"I'm getting stronger step by step The clock is ticking but there is no time for regrets"

When Lance noticed one of his family members looking sad or upset he would organize a family 'hug out' where the rest of the family and Lance would surround them with a group hug and talk about silly things or just stay sing the song.

"I've been flying from town to town From London to Taiwan I've been all around the globe Trying to protect your soul"

It wasn't just any song they would sing either, no the song meant everything to the McClain family, it held a special place in their hearts which filled each of them with a warm fuzzy feeling whenever they hear it. The meaning they incorporated from the song giving them all strength and the feeling that they were never alone.

"We are heroes tonight We will fly above the sky We are heroes tonight"

Knowing that to Lance, his siblings were his heroes, and they could face any challenge and hold their heads high.

"yeah, We are heroes tonight We will fly above the sky"

It was a guarantee that no matter What, no matter what life threw at them, they can stay strong and will get through it. Lance blinked as the tears ran down his face, his voice shaking as he sang the song out loud his voice echoing around the room.

"We are heroes tonight, yeah Night yeah"

He curled in a fist over his heart, the pain nearly excruciating. The male held back a sob as his heart called out for his family, hey mama, papa, did you know your little boy has grown up?

"Feeling like a dynamite Ready to explode right up in the sky I need you to listen"

He wasn't dead, he hadn't run away. Her little boy was saving people, helping them live without fear. Lance smiled slightly, hey sisters?

"I need you to hear And don't show any fear"

Your big brother is actually a hero, just like those stories he told you when you were younger. Lance closed his ocean deep blue eyes curling up on himself letting out a heart-wrenching sob, he missed them so much.

"I've been flying from town to town From London to Taiwan I've been all around the globe Trying to protect your soul"

A voice sang from behind him, carrying on what Lance couldn't finish, the Cuban male jumped and looked around his eyes shining with tears, his nose and eyes red from crying, looking completely broken. Pidge walked over to him slowly followed by Hunk, Keith, and Shiro. They had been woken up by Pidge who had been awake working on something, she had heard singing and come to investigate only to find a heartbroken Lance crying, she had been the one to carry on the song when Lance broke down.

"We are heroes tonight We will fly above the sky"

Hunk sat down next to his best friend singing along with Pidge who sat on his other side, he put his arm around the sobbing male and held him close.

"We are heroes tonight, yeah We are heroes tonight"

Shiro sat in front of Lance gently wiping the oncoming tears away with his thumb, joining in with the singing.

"We will fly above the sky We are heroes tonight"

Keith kneeled beside the brunette looking slightly confused on how to deal with a homesick sobbing Lance, being the last to join in on the singing Keith finally leaned forward and brought the male into a hug leaning his forehead against his, mimicking what Shiro had done in the past to comfort him.

"Yeah We are heroes tonight, yeah Night yeah We are heroes tonight We will fly above the sky We are heroes tonight, yeah"

The paladins all now singing apart from Lance who was trying to calm down, hugged their friend tightly sharing his pain. In one way or another, they also were homesick for something, whether it was family, home or peace. They all shared the pain equally between them, no matter the circumstance of how they were brought together, the five loved each other, They were a makeshift space family with the addition of Allura and Coran. And they would go through hell together and together they would go home.

"I've been flying from town to town From London to Taiwan I've been all around the globe Trying to protect your soul."

The song finished and they all were silent with only Lances sobs, sniffs, and cries heard. After a while the blue paladin calmed down and holding each other the paladins Voltron fell asleep holding each other tightly, holding their family closely. Before Lance drifted off to sleep he thought of one thing, it doesn't matter where he was because he had his family with him, blood or not and a little broken, but they were his and he would never change that.

-the song is |Heroes to tonight, Janji|-
