Tear drops

 Lance was a quick crier since he was young, but he struggles to express his feelings.

Lance never admitted out loud but there were days when he would cry getting out of bed because he feels like his emotions will get the best of him.

And today feels like one of those days. "Paladins, Please join in the dining room to eat, shortly after there will be team bonding exercises." Allura's voice boom in the intercoms.

Lance smiled, the same smile He practiced a million times, a smile to win someone's heart or to reassure them that you are fine, a smile of confidence when you are not. The fake smile the everyone knows him as.

That same smile that he was label with "the happy-to-go-Lance-Mclain" Lance quickly got up rushing himself to get dress, he was already late. As he reached the dining room, all the chattering abruptly stopped.

"Sorry I'm late I-" but was interrupted by Pidge, "Save to someone who actually cares!" she commented as she blew a raspberry with Keith agreeing and even laughing.

"You promised you wouldn't be late again this month" Hunk replied disappointment. "Hunk buddy you got it all wrong it another of those days where I-" Lance felt himself crumbling down but kept his smile on.

"We don't want to hear it" Allura spoke getting up leaving her dishes in the sink walking away. Shortly one, by one they left following Allura. "Wait for- Guys I can explain! I know I mess up sometimes but- Please!" but it was useless, as he stands there alone by himself.

Today was not one of his better days he has on the ship, he didn't even want to eat, he cried knowing they would just downgrade him more. More worst than a useless idiot, more worst than a seventh wheel, but the tears wouldn't stop falling with whimpers escapes his mouth.

==================================================================================

The team was not angry at Lance at the least, but is rather disapointed that Lance has been constantly absent. "it seems like Lance is giong to miss the pratice as well" Keith said as they began without him and at a higher level than what they would put with Lance.

~~~

The team laughed as they walked into the dining room to eat lunch they noticed Lance was still there. "Lance care to explain?" Shiro asked tapping his shoulder, but the Cuban boy did not wake up.

Lance cried himself to sleep. his half-eaten bowl at his side, puffy red dried stain cheeks plastered all over his face, and tears still kept falling even when he slept.

"Lance? Are you ok?" Shiro asks nudging Lance even more. Lance began to stir then abruptly falling off his chair dashing off into his room.

voltron stood in bewilderment to Lance's action. "he...Lance was crying" Shiro whispered afraid to speak what he saw out loud. "Lance looked so miserable" Pidge felt a log in her chest to see her brother figure in such a state. "How long was he crying?" Keith asked the question that everyone had in their minds.
