If Lance had been paying attention, he would've known what their 'mission' was for, but he could barely keep his eyes open due to his sudden change of heart regarding training, let alone listen to anyone. He had already gotten to training level 34, and Shiro had to practically drag him to the eating area. All he heard was blurry voices, and he couldn't really pay attention even if he tried at this point.
"Lance?"
He looked up slowly, his eyes barely staying open.
"Huh? Could you repeat that?"
"Are you okay? You haven't told a pun since we all got up. Did you hear the mission goal?"
"Uh, yeah, Umm.... Yeah, I think."
Pidge narrowed her eyes, and Lance knew she wasn't buying it. He gave her a pleading look, as if to ask her not to mention it, but to his dismay, she wasn't looking at him. Instead, she was looking around the room at everyone present (even the mice were eating with Allura today) with a face that told him all he needed to know.
"Who broke him?"
"Pidge-"
"Who broke you, Lance? You're not even TRYING to make a joke, or a prank, or insult Keith or even flirt with Allura. What is up?"
Lance sighed, and in his best I'm- trying-really-hard-to-make-you laugh voice, he replied.
"The sky is up. Or, the stars actually, but whatever."
"LAN- Oh, wait. Good job, Lance, but your voice cracked like five times in that sentence, so it's hard to believe you're back to normal that quickly.."
"My voice always cracks."
"Yeah,right."
"I'm fine, I just stayed up later than usual training."
"And you got up early to train? I witnessed it, I'm the one who carried you here."
Shiro cut in.
"Unbelievable! What if we get attacked today?! You look so tired you probably can't even raise your arms! Go get some rest! Now!" Allura exclaimed.
"But, I can raise my arms-"
"Shoo!"
Lance stood up with his hands flat on the table, pushing his chair back and trudged off.
As Lance walked to his room, he silently swore he would show them he was working so hard for a reason.

Note: This is my first official, public fanfic! If you want to, vote and comment! If you leave a comment and it inspires me I will try to remember to mention your name in the note of that chapter. I'll do a bunch of notes after each chapter to let you know if something happens and I can't update.
Boy, Langst is my favorite! I'm still coming up with a title, since I don't really have any solid plans for this story. Right now, all I know is that Lance is striving to get better at fighting because he doesn't just want to be the comic relief, but the awesome underrated character as well, but I also want to bend that a little because I read a lot of Langst with that prompt. I'm thinking... maybe, he trains too hard, and there are consequences? In battle, or like, he's getting bad at navigating because he trained too hard? Hmm......
Owee, Signing off!
