"I'm fine." I assured the team. "I'm just tired is all." They nodded. "You've been awfully tired lately Lance." Coran stated. The team slowly nodded. "Have you been getting enough sleep?" Shiro asked. I bit my lip. "Yeah I've been sleeping... I get a full 5 or 6 hours." I chuckled. Pidge frowned. "If that's true... You haven't had a proper nights rest." Hunk stared at me. I forgot he knew about my insomnia. I forgot I lied to him about how I got better. "I haven't gotten a proper rest in 2 days that's all. I'm gonna go now. See you later guys!" I took off down the Hall and into my room. Hunk is probably gonna be suspicious now. Great just great. I can't deal with that right now. I layed on my bed pondering what to do. I'll just annoy Keith again! Yeah I'll do that. I'll do it. I jumped off the bed and ran to find him.
*Time Skip, Bed time*
I sighed as I finished my routine and sprawled out on the bed. It was extremely uncomfortable. I lie there for a few more minutes than moved with a blanket and pillow onto the floor. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. When I couldn't I opened my eyes and stared at the roof thinking. Thinking of how many times I messed up on a mission. How I failed in training. How I pestered and annoyed the others just to get some kind of form of attention. How I was utterly useless. How Blue had probably chosen me because I was replaceable and she was waiting for her actual paladin. The room started spinning as I thought about these things. After a while I managed to sleep. I awoke to everyone in my room shaking me awake. I was exhausted but I didn't let it show. Right when I saw there faces I plastered a look of energy on mine. "Why are you guys in my room?" Pidge groaned. "You were making a lot of noise so we checked on you." She shrugged in annoyance. "You were kicking the wall and it woke us all up." Shiro looked grumpy. "Yeah it was annoying and Why are you not in your bed?" I shrugged. "Must've fallen off." Keith grunted. "Yeah well sleep in the bed. It's fucking 2 in the morning." I looked at the clock. "Oh, well sorry. I'll sleep on the bed." Coran frowned. "My boy, are you alright?" I nodded. "I'm fine. Thanks for asking." They left and I lay there letting the silence take over. I must've been there for hours cause when I looked back at the clock. It was 5 in the morning. I sighed and checked my sleep tracker. Allura inserted the damn thing into the clocks to help us. I skimmed through it ignoring the shorter sleeping times that became constant. I had only gotten 2 hours of sleep before the others woke me up. I sighed. I'm unable to go back to sleep so I'll just get dressed. I walked out in my normal wear and headed to the kitchen. I walked to the fridge and made a snack. Nothing big... Just a really tiny amount of food. I nibbled at it until I felt like puking. That's when I threw the rest out. By the time the others got in for breakfast it was 7. They gave me questioning looks and sat down. They passed out the goo and began chatting. I picked at my food, eating a small bite when the others looked at me. I was lost in thought until someone spoke to me and jarred me out of them. "Hmm?" I looked up confused. Hunk sighed. "Did you have a good nights sleep?" I nodded. "Are you okay? We woke y-" "I'm Fine." I interrupted. Hunk blinked at me. "Ookay." It became awkward and silent then. It became unbearable to me and I stood up. "Well thanks for the food Hunk." I picked up my heavy plate of food and tossed it. "You barely ate." Keith pointed out. "Are you sick?" Allura asked worriedly. I shrugged. "I'm not hungry and I'm fine." They stared at me. "What? I am. I swear I'm fine." I fidgeted feeling nervous. Pidge huffed and stood up. "Stop lying Lance! We know you're not." I gave a nervous laugh. "What makes you think that?" She sighed. "We looked through your activity and sleep tracker." I froze. Allura gave me a stern look. "It said that whenever we got back from anything, you would just lie there motionless." I flinched. "And your sleep tracker said that you slowly got less and less sleep. Why is that?" I shrugged. Hunk pursed his lips before speaking. "Lance has Insomnia." I transitioned my gaze to the ground silently cursing myself for ever telling him that. "Insomnia?" Allura's confused voice echoed. "It means unable to sleep. It's a condition some people of Earth have. It can lead to serious health problems if not treated correctly. Or helped in a way." Pidge definitely sounded like a dictionary. "I'm fine though." I looked up but didn't meet their gaze. "I've just been thinking about things. I swear I'll get more sleep okay? I'm fine." I walked out before they could utter a single protest. I ran to my room and shut the door. I layed on my bed and shut my eyes. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep damn it! I groaned and shifted around the bed. I ran laps around my room to tire myself. It worked but just still couldn't sleep.
I just ended up exhausted with a headache. I glared at the roof then rolled off onto the floor. Finally I was comfortable. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep. I awoke to the sound of sirens and to a figure looming over me. "WHAT THE FU-" The figure covered my mouth. "Ssshhhh! You'll get us caught!" He whispered. I grabbed his wrist and squinted up at him. "Keith?!" I whisper yelled. "What in the quiznack are you in my room for?!" He rolled his eyes. "It's a drill which you have failed. Did you not listen during breakfast?" I shook my head. "Ugh course not. Just wait for the sirens to stop." It took a while but they eventually stopped and we walked into the main control room. "LANCE WHAT IN THE WORLD!" Oh boy, here we go.
