This takes place after he code of honor and a new defender in season 4. This is Lances reaction to when Keith leaves....
————————————————————————
Lance made his way through the halls of the Castle of Lions. He was walking to his room from the control room. Keith, ex red paladin had just left team Voltron for The bom! Lance, feeling extremely betrayed, angrily made his way to his room. He basically had steam coming off of him! He couldn't believe Keith would do that to him. They had just started getting close too. Lance thought him, and Keith had a thing going, apparently not. Lance entered his room, and plopped on his bed. He laid there steaming from head to toe. Keith was the one Lance open up with. Lance didn't have his family, he didn't feel like he was good enough for the team. Keith didn't make him feel that way, and now he's leaving. Lance put his hands on his face before letting out a muffled sigh.
Keith made his way down the hall. He had noticed Lance was acted a bit weird, when he broke the news. Keith made his way around a corner that led right into Lances room. He knocked before the door opened. Keith saw, standing in the doorway an irritated looking Lance.
"Hey Lance you were acting a bit weird when I broke the news are you alright?" Keith asked genuinely.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine Keith" Lance spoke, irritation coated in every inch of his voice.
"Lance what's your problem? You should be happy I'm leaving" Keith said looking down at the floor.
Lance scoffed "Wow Keith I really can't believe you"
"What is it lance?! I don't have a purpose on this team anymore. At least I'll be doing something better than sitting around the Castle with Coran!" Keith was shouting at this point earning a look from lance.
"Shouldn't you be getting back to your new team now Keith"
This one little sentence infuriated Keith to beyond return.
"WHAT THE HELL LANCE! I-I thought we were getting along. What did I ever do to you Lance. You really are an asshole"
"Oh I'm the asshole" Lance stated, in a calmer tone than Keith.
"Your the one that's leaving us. You were supposed to be our leader. Instead you took off with the blades. Y-you were the only one that seemed to care about me! Now your leaving! S-so just get out of here Keith!" Lance was on the verge of tears as he screamed at Keith.
Keith looked up at Lance , looking as if he wanted to say something, or comfort the red paladin. Instead he did as Lance told him, and left the room. Not before taking one last look at the blue eyed boy.
"Bye Lance.." he said sadly, before the door closed.
(A few weeks later)
"We'll never penetrate those shields!" Matt screamed over the coms.
Keith sat in pure fear for a few moments before speaking up.
"Maybe not with our weapons.." he started up his battle cruiser before heading straight towards the shields.
"Wait Keith what are you doing?!" Matt screamed
"KEITH NO" Matt yelled as Keith was mere yards away from saving the rebel's, Paladins and other planets, but taking his life in exchange.
Keith saw his life literally flash before his eyes as the shields were penetrated. But he was still alive? Keith opened his eyes and pulled back on the cruiser. He looked up and saw Lotor. The fleet ended up running away as Lotor spoke.
"Attention Paladins of Voltron, and rebel fighters. I know we've had our differences in the past, but... I think it is time we had a discussion." He smirked as the Paladins and rebels looked out in shock.
(A few weeks later)
Matt and Lance were hanging out in the lounge. They were talking about how they had saved a planet, and made a new alliance with Lotor. Matt stared talking about how they weren't able to penetrate the shields.
"Ha, keith is a big dummy you know that" Lance scoffed in return.
"H-he was going to sacrifice himself to save everyone..." Matt said, looking up at Lance who looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"I-I, Lance I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry. Wait Lance come back. Lance!" Matt yelled as Lance made his was out of the lounge, and into the a main hall. Matt knew he needed his space from hearing that.
(Time skip)
Lance lay upon his bed crying. Lance hadn't genuinely cried in a long time. What if Keith would have died? He wouldn't have anything. His family probably thinks he's dead. The team doesn't appreciate him enough. He doesn't even feel good enough to be a paladin. How would he have feel if Keith, his support system, his friend, died right there. Lance couldn't feel at the moment. He needed to feel something. Anything love, pain, sadness. He just wanted to feel.
Lance pulled out a box from under his bed, and started digging through the random trinkets. He eventually found what he was looking for. He brought the razor blade he once used for shaving up to his beautiful tan skin. He took a deep breath in, before lightly sliding it across his wrists. He gasped at the sudden burning sensation. He let the cut bleed for awhile. He sat in silence not a tear shed. He let the burning subside, before making about 3 more cuts. They were all pretty light, none bleeding too much. He lay back on his bed allowing the cuts to dry up, before falling into a light sleep.
(Time skip)
Keith landed one of bom pods in reds hanger. He was going to check up on team Voltron. It had also been a while since they had last seen each other. He also wanted to tell them the good news. He was going to rejoin team Voltron. He missed his human friends, and they're wacky adventures.
The first people he was met with were Pidge, and Hunk. They greeted him, and lead him to Shiro, Allura, and Coran. They were in the control room talking to Lotor over the coms. Keith immediately noticed someone was missing.
"Guys where's Lance?" Keith asked.
"I think he's up in his room. I haven't seen him in a while, go check on him will you?" Shiro spoke sternly.
Keith turned on his heel and headed out of the door. As soon as it closed he took off running. He missed Lance, and he was actually really excited to see him. Too caught up in thought, Keith ran right into the red paladin. Keith opened his eyes and felt Lances arm underneath him.
"Ow, fuck Keith get off my arm!" Keith sprang up off the floor to help his friend up. Lance brushed himself off and ignored Keith's hand.
"Watch where your going next time mullet." Lance spoke in a rude tone.
Keith looked towards Lance who was now holding his arm and walking the other way.
"Wait Lance come back! I'm sorry. Let me see your arm." Keith said grabbing Lances arm again.
"ah shit,KEITH LET GO!" Lance yelled wincing, and his arm throbbing.
Keith let go and Lance continued walking away. Keith looked down at the floor feeling guilty.
(Time skip)
Lance had stayed in his room the rest of the day, leaving Keith to sit and think about what happened.
'Is lance still mad about me leaving?' He thought to himself
'Maybe he doesn't even care about me anymore' 'should I still tell him the news'
Keith sat in silence for a few more minutes before standing up, and sprinting to Lances room. He needed Lance to know the news. Keith continued running excitedly towards Lances room. When he got close enough he heard the sound of a muffled sob. Keith froze in his tracks, as he strained his ears to hear. It was Lance. Lance was crying? Keith opened the door without even knocking and seen something he never wanted to see, ever.
He saw a dark figure laying on the cold floor in a dark room. This figure was holding their arm, as blood trickled down they're arm, and splattered on the floor. Keith ran to Lances broken figure, and dropped to his knees.
"W-why Lance?! Why are you doing this!" Keith yelled lightly, shocked as tears streamed down his face.
"Keith what are you doing in here!" Lance yelled at Keith, as he ripped his arm away and pulled his sleeve down.
"Lance this isn't healthy, why are yo-" Keith was cut off.
"Why did you leave? Y-you were the only one that cared Keith!" Lance shouted as tears flooded down his face.
"I thought you were going to be there for me!?" I guess I was wr-" Lance said, as he was cut off by Keith's arms around his chest.
"Lance. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left. I won't leave. I'm staying Lance. I'll stay here for you. I love you Lance. I love you so fucking much!" Keith shouted lightly, at the current red paladin.
Lance wrapped his arms around the raven haired male, and kissed his head.
"I love you too Keith" Lance spoke softly engulfing the boy in his warm embrace.
