Ah, mind training day. No one likes it. I mean it feels weird because now it's just to bond not to form Voltron in their minds. Lance thinks it's an invasion of privacy, but no one else thinks so. But when they started to look at dreams and memories that's when it gets a little iffy for Lance. He would hide parts or make memories or dreams up, he didn't want to show the truth, he hated it, so they would to. But Allura found out. So now, here he is the only one doing this today. Everyone is watching the real dreams or memories. Lance had a nice family yes but he didn't live in the best part of Cuba for a while until they moved where Veradera beach was. Meaning Lance had some scary shit happen to him.  So he decided to show some parts of one actually showing why he doesn't like sudden hugs, or touches. Long story shot he was kidnaped for an amount of time, and he was raped. Yeah, not great. Lance still has his triggers like Shiro does with his stuff. And that was shown and those words that trigger him came through. Then it went to dreams. And boy did he have a lot of nightmares. He was so scared of his team dying that they would just die right in front of him. Or he would die and no one would care. Just all his self doubts and insecurities showed. Lance hated this. He felt weak. He didn't feel good enough. He felt wrong showing this after being known as the happy go lucky ladies man. This was him though. He didn't want it to be that way. But hey there are things you can't change. Now it's to his real insecurities. It felt like they were circling him just screaming at him about what's wrong with him. He hated it. He wanted out of this. But he couldn't get out.
"Por favor, déjenme salir. No puedo soportarlo."
Lance spoke into his mind. Nothing happened he started to freak out and say it louder. He was breathing fast and shallow in fear. He felt like he was dying. He saw things start to fade.
".......nce."
"......ance."
"Lance, wake up."
Lance bursted up from where he was laying.
"Mi dios Allura! ¡Podrías haber dejado que las cosas falsas se quedaran! ¿De verdad quieres eso? ¡Me han secuestrado y violado! Incluso después de que te dije 'no quieres verlo'. ¡Esto no está bien, Allura! ¡Esto invadió mi privacidad! Estaré en mi habitación."
Lance got up and started to head to his room. Those memories really do him in this time. Lance doesn't have to share memories but he was forced to.
"Lance we need to talk about this."
Lance turned around to Shiro.
"No we don't Shiro. You had time until you showed this type of stuff. You're stronger than I am and less insecure. Heck! You're the leader of Voltron! But here's the thing if you saw me in court, fighting for justice. And the girls saying that I wanted it. When I didn't. When they spike my drink with rape drugs and said I wanted it! When you here a judge say your rapists are not quilts and that I did this just because I thought the sex was bad! And then kids at school touching you because they think you want it due to that case! But I'm sorry that when you come up behind me and hug me that I feel uncomfortable I tell you to stop and you guys disregarded me! But Shiro, when he said that, you all stopped! So there is no need to talk about it! You saw the truth! You got the truth! I'm going to train, please don't come after me."
With that Lance went to the training room. No one followed him. Lance was upset. But not enough to do anything stupid. He's getting better he is. But when it all comes rushing back to him. That kind starts him back to step one again. Lance grabbed dinner and went to his room and ate it in silence. He was tired and just done with the day. So like a normal person he slept. Only to be awoken by nightmares. He was just done. He walked to the bridge to look at the stars. He sat there and found his peace.
