Langst One Shots [Discontinued]

Cliche

Takes place BEFORE Shiro was missing!)

Who knows. Maybe it could have turned out different.

It started as a simple mission. (A/N: CLICHE!)

Get in.

Shut it down.

Get out.

But of course, nothing turns out the way you want it to.

Lance P.O.V.

I'm relaxing in my bedroom, doing absolutely nothing. I mean, why not do what everyone thinks you do. Right?

I'm always made fun of by my team. I know they're only joking. But it doesn't feel like it sometimes. And when I made a mistake, they are all over me. Yet, when someone else makes an error or there is a fault in their technique, they get help. They don't get yelled at. It just doesn't make sense.
I'm always there to help the team.

I'm Hunk's personal taste tester.

I make sure Pidge is in bed at a good hour.

I help Shiro when I hear him screaming because of a nightmare in his room.

I train with Keith to help take his mind off the fact that he's 'alone'. That his family left him.

When I hear Allura crying at night, I ask her whats wrong. She spills everything to me. I comfort her.

And Coran? He's Coran. The gorgeous man.

Yet, when I'm hurting. When I'm crying, screaming in my room. No one comes to help me. It's like I'm invisible when no one needs me. If anyone needs me at all...

"Paladins, come to the common room please!" Allura's somewhat British voice blasts through my thoughts. Making them dust in my mind.
I reluctantly lift my thin body up and follow directions.

When I reach the room, everyone is on the couch. No one even looks at me. I sigh and slouch against the door. I guess I'll take Keith's role as the emo person today. Seeing as Keith is actually on the couch.

"We have to go over plans for the mission today. As you know. The Glaxerians are in need of assistance. There is a small-ish Galra base that has been built. The Glaxerians are almost completely taken over by the Galra. Our job is to help them fight the war that has erupted down there. Either we win, or we lose another planet to our alliance. So everyone, don't mess up. This is important," Allura states. She's looking directly at me. Hey, at least she notices I'm here.

The rest of the team gets up to put their armor on and get to the lions. I start to walk out as well, but a robotic arm grabs me.

"You can't goof off today Lance. We can't have a jokester messing up our battle. So don't do anything stupid. Got it?" Shiro says. His eyes are piercing. I nod.

He grunts, and walks away, leaving me to myself.

"Okay. So, let me say something about the Glaxerians.." Alura starts over the comms. I don't listen.

Anxiety overruns me, flying to the planet. What if something goes wrong? What if I make a mistake, and it costs us the mission? I'll get in huge trouble. I might get kicked off the team. No.. I'm important, right? I'm a paladin.
Oh, who am I kidding? I'm just a replaceable object to them.

"Lance, are you listening?" Shiro asks. I sigh, being snapped out of my oh so wonderful thoughts.

"No, I'm sorry. What were you saying?" I reply. I hear multiple groans of annoyance.
