"Pidge you idiot what the hell are you doing!?" Shiro's arms were around their waist in an instant, keeping them from getting to Lance.
"Lance! Shit!" Looking over their shoulder as they tried to fight their way out of Shiro's grip Pidge saw Hunk standing there with his hand over his mouth at the sight in front of him and she saw Kieth.
Holy hell she wished she hadn't seen Kieth. The expression of utter defeat- of death and demise and of complete despair was heart-wrenchingly coupled with the look of sheer bliss of maybe seeing him again one more time.
"Pidge calm down! Seriously!"
"He's alive Shiro! He's alive damnit!"
"Lance!"
"Pidge get back!"
"No! He's breathing, he's alive! Shiro let go!"
Keith was next to him in an instant.
The usually brooding Paladin sat there, dismissing the blood that was soaking into his suit, throwing his helmet far away and clutching Lance's hand. Pleading and begging for him to Please just keep his eyes open please!
"H-Hey beautiful..." It was heartbreaking to see the two there; one dying and the others heart dying along with him.
"You idiot! You told me you'd be careful! You promised me!" It shocked the others, Keith had known about Lance being rogue but then... Lance couldn't of been the enemy could he?
"I did keep my promise though didn't I? I told you I'd get back to you alive..."
"This isn't very fucking alive right now you know!
A bloodstained hand lifted up and brushed the hair out of Keith's face and Pidge finally broke free of Shiro's grasp, themselves and Hunk crowding around his body while Shiro stood shocked in the background.
"Hey pigeon... hey bud." A horrifying cough racked through Lance's body, the thought of him dying for real this time right in front of them.
"Hey Lance, knife to see you again." They were watery smiles and half-assed joke but it made the dying boy smile, that's what mattered. By now, Keith had his face pressed into Lance's shoulder just mumbling over and over about how it had to be a nightmare, how it couldn't be anything else.
Pidge knew better.
They grabbed the other hand that Keith didn't have a grip on and messed with Lance's fingers. Hunk held their other hand, and while they could see it strained Lance, he was there pressing slowly diminishing kisses into Keith's hair.
"Come on... let's go."
Pidge and Hunk stepped back allowing the couple a few seconds of privacy before a primal and heartbreaking roar rattled the ship.
And with that, the blue Paladin and the heart of Voltron... died.
