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

{Chapter 3}

What this chapter is based on ⬆

I carried on walking behind my Leader and Teammate. Even looking at the two i'm thinking, do i even deserve to stand besides them? Behind them?

Looking Bold and mighty, i'm just the sharpshooter who is hardly needed of his skills lately. Why should i follow these? I know what's coming at me, a lecture.

Everyday is just the same. I'm not the little boy anymore. Running around on beaches, reaching for my dreams. I asked to be a fighter class pilot. I had consequences and became a cargo pilot.

Keith leaves and i get the chance finally, i failed my final test i had on earth before becoming a defender of the universe.

That's a big step from a Cargo pilot. Overall that, i'm just a boy from Cuba. Looking up to Keith and Shiro, they stand out. I'm just something put down. Well i am.

Rubbing at my arm isn't helping, i just thought this training will be good, improving my skills.. my reaction time at least,
"Why can't i be good at one thing.." i muttered out on my thoughts.

Keith groaned, i heard the little slam on the door to open up the bridge. He was clearly pissed.

Shiro patted my back, nearly choking on the thoughts spilling out.

"I know you didn't put to your best today, Lance. But- you need to start focusing, i know somewhere there's the real you just trying to get out and do his best, it seems you're barricading him in" Shiro then went off, i needed that? No.

I already knew.

Moments after the talk and lectures, Coran led me to the med bay after i showed him the damage to my arm. I know he's curious. He's been through a lot himself, he just keeps it in like a strong warrior.

Sitting on this chair, the amount of times i know everything by heart just shows how bad i am at things. Especially combat.

I know the lectures given, are false. Especially by Allura. It seems she's been less interested to work with me.

I don't blame her at all.

Coran wrapped a bandage around my arm, he says its our earth use of 'sprained'.

"I'll finish things in here Coran, just get to the next planet signalled for us.." He sighed, giving me the remaining things to finish off. I know he was worried but he believed in me.

That was it, once he left. They hit me in the chest so hard. Hearing their little voices in my head, they sounded just like me but weren't fluent or speaking properly.

They stayed, mumbling in my head, stinging me everytime i did something that i got surprised by.

Hunk even let me stay watching him bake those weird alien cookies he made out of sulphite.

Surprising? Yes. Last time he kicked me out the last mission we took i described how i was down and he was also down he couldn't save most planet's people/aliens. He knew Yellow wasn't that strong to help out with my Ice, i didn't use them right.
