◇Meant to Belong[Lance x Reader]

Yay!!

So, I was thinking, what if allura just....hated the reader? And the reader slowly started to stop talking with anyone. Lance (since I sorta want a lance x reader) tries to open them up to everyone, and the reader finally tell everyone why they’ve been in their, mentioning allura in it

“(Y/N)!Why can't you do anything right?Are you an idiot or what?I said put it in the reactor not the sub-reactor!For Alfor’s sake!”Allura exclaimed,sighing in disapproval as she glared at me.I bit my lip, looking away.It wasn't the first time she had said that to me yet it still hurt.The paladins didn't know anything about this considering they were on a mission that me,the princess and Coran weren't needed in.She never treated me like this in front of any of the paladins or in front of Coran but once she and I are alone, it's a whole different story.It all started ever since I told her about my crush on Lance.She changed after that.If anyone were to witness how she treated me once we were alone,they would never be able to tell that we were best friends previously.Her words just reminded me of the verbal abuse I had to go through with my family.My scars were still healing from my experience with them.

“You’re worthless!”
“Just kill yourself!”
“You ruin everything!”
“You were an accident!You should've never been born!”
“I regret not giving you up when I had the chance!”

Their voices filled my head.I became more distant from Allura and the others.They never seemed to notice that I was gone.That I wasn't my normal self anymore.The only one that seemingly noticed was Lance himself but I doubt he would do anything about it.No one's ever done that for me.Anyways he was too busy flirting with Allura after all.Who would bother a wallflower girl like me?Lance would prefer someone like Allura…After replacing the wire to the reactor,I quickly retreated to my room.

A few knocks on my room’s door jolted me out of my daydream state.“C-come in…”I called out,getting into a sitting position on my bed.A familiar brunette walked in,a concerned look on his face.”Hey Lancey-Lance.”I smiled softly,(e/c) hues meeting ocean-blue ones.A mixture of concern and worry was seen in Lance's eyes.I cocked my head to the side,”Lance?You alright?You seem...A little too worried and such…”Lance sighed,”Look (y/n)...You're rarely coming out of your room now and I'm getting a little concerned...You haven't had meals with us since...Well months ago.Is there something affecting you?Everyone's getting very anxious about your state.Shiro,Keith,Pidge,Hunk,Coran,me as well as Allura.”

I laughed humorlessly at the mention of Allura,”Concerned?Allura?Yeah right!If you guys have actually known about anything, she's just faking her worry about me!Allura doesn't care about me.She only cares about you and the others!It would take a miracle for her to care about me!Every single time when you don't need me,her or Coran in a particular mission,she would always bring me down with her words whenever Coran was busy someplace else!This is why I don't eat with any of you anymore due to the fact that the woman that brings me down is also there in the room herself!This is why I preferred to cut off ties with you guys!”Tears were dripping down my face once I had finished what I said.My self esteem,day by day,brought down by the beautiful Altean princess verbally.I hated the venomous words she spat yet I feel powerless to stop her.I feel like it was my fault,very much like the situation with my family.

Lance's eyes widened at the revelation.He then quickly wiped away my tears,“Hey... We'll get through this alright?Me and the others will support you no matter what but first,you need to tell them why you have been acting really distant...They are quite worried so your explanation will call their nerves.I chewed in my lower lip before sighing,”Fine…”The Cuban flashed me a smile before leading me to the others.Once they were all in the room,I explained what had happened and all.They were all in disbelief and shock,not expecting Allura to have done This.Honestly,I didn't expect that too.

Speak of the devil and he-well she will come.The woman of the hour,princess Allura herself walked into the room with a huge smile on her face which faded away slightly,turning steely.Allura quickly replaced it with a false smile.”(y/n)!It's so good to see you once again!We were getting so worried!What are you guys discussing about?”Keith rolled his eyes,”We were talking about this girl who got bullied verbally by her so called best friend in secret,the best friend treating and acting like she cared about the girl whenever she was in front of others.”Allura froze,eyes widening slightly as her eyes flicked towards me.”Oh…”Her eyes held a slight flame.”Allura this has to stop alright!Treating (y/n) in this manner isn't gonna solve whatever conflict that you two might've had.”Lance pressed his lips together, crossing his arms, disapproving of Allura's actions.

Allura froze up before she began to stutter,trying to form a reasoning behind her actions.“I-well-she-I…”I sighed softly,looking at my feet as I fumbled with the hem of my shirt,nibbling on my lower lip,“Look Allura,I don’t know what got into you or why you treated me like this but I...Well I forgive you.In a way…”Lance wrapped an arm around me,“C’mon (y/n),I have to show you something in private...Allura,she already gave you a second chance.Try not to use it carelessly…”Lance linked my hand with his,leading me to another location in the castle-ship.A few moments later,we stopped at where a huge window was at,the dull light of the surrounding stars shining through it.

“(y/n)...I don’t really know how to explain it but...I really...Like you a whole lot...Maybe we can go have dinner sometime on one of the planets that we land on?”Lance’s face flushed a light pink,”I understand if you don’t want to since this incident had just happened and I’m too much of a goofball so…”The cuban trailed off.“I would love to Lance...Your goofiness is one of the qualities that I like about you.No goofball except for you would make me fall any harder than now,sharpshooter…”I smiled,wrapping my arms around him.He chuckled,“It’s a date then…”He stroked my hair gently,"And (y/n),don't you ever forget that you are meant to belong here alright?No matter what others say,you are worth living."I nodded my head,"You too sharpshooter...You too..."
