Lance let out a sharp howl, one not heard by the others over the loud cannon.
"S-Shiro-" He choked out, immediately getting cut off.
"Not now Lance. Hunk fire!" Was the black paladins response. Lance let out another groan.
"Babe? Babe are you okay?" Keith voice made through.
"Lance are you alright?" Allura's followed, both etched with worry.
"'M fi-fine. I'm good." He forced, retracting his bayard.
"Lance get to your lion! We need back up!" Pidge shrieked, pulling her lion back.
"Yes ma'am! I've got you covered!" He stumbled towards his lion.

"That was a tough one." Pidge chuckled, taking off her helmet, walking with the others down the hall. Lances hand was intertwined with Keiths hand, the other, usually holding onto shiros was dangling at his side as he talked with the princess about voltron. He had zoned out, lost in his head, lost in the pain that swallowed him.
"Keith..." He moaned out, knees buckling under him. His vision went black when he hit the ground.
"Lance?!" At the sound of Keiths voice, Shiro whipped his head around, worry in his eyes. His face paled when he saw Lance laying motionless on the ground. Keith's gaze moved to Shiro who nodded following Keith out of the room in a run.
It was a few hours before Lance gained consciousness. Shiro was the one next to him when he shot up, his breathing heavy and tears in his eyes.
"I- you're okay.." Lance breathed, noticeably ignoring the pain in his side. "You're okay." He repeated, leaning into the biggers shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Shiro croaked. "I'm so so sorry- I should've seen you were hurt and made sure you were okay but I didn't and you blacked out and-" Shiro was silenced with lips against his, soft lips, Lances lips. He relaxed, gently kissing back.
"You're fine baby. I swear." He smiled softly. "You too Keith. My 2007 emo. You're fine." Shiro glanced back at his boyfriend. He didn't even hear him come back in. He watched as the dark haired male crawled into bed, wrapping his arms around the cubans waist and hiding his face in Lances back.
"I love you. I love you both." Shiro whispered, looking down.
"And you already know we love you too." Lance responded, his smiled getting wider.
