Langst: One Shots!

The Boy Who was Happy, Breaks

Keith's POV:
The air was quiet and tense as we all soaked in the event that just happened. We exchanged glances before looking at the door Lance had just walked out of.
"What the hell was that?" Pidge squeaked, breaking the tension.
"I-I think Lance just, yelled." Hunk replied.
Shiro shook his head. "He was just joking right?" I disagreed. Lance didn't joke about those kinds of things.
*flaaaaaaaaaash baaaack*
We were all gathered in the common room just hanging out. Lance came in but he was unusually quiet.
When Shiro asked him what was wrong he simply replied with his standard "I'm Fine." Answer.
That was when I got mad.
"Lance you are clearly not fine. What's wrong?" I demanded. He shook his head. "There's nothing wrong Keith. I said I'm Fine." "Stop lying!" I shouted. He just stood and started walking away. "Where are you going?!" "To my room." Shiro stepped in then. "Lance please, just tell us what is wrong." Pidge and Hunk agreed. "Yeah Lance, please. We can he-" That's when he whirled around. He had tears flowing down his face and he looked like a mess.
"WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS JUST STOP CARING?!" He glared at us. "I MEAN YOU GUYS NEVER DID BEFORE SO WHY NOW?!" He started sobbing. We watched him slowly come to a stop before he responded. "I'll be in my room... Don't even bother trying to help..." His voice was hollow and his eyes were empty.
Then he left.
*end of flashback*
"Do you think he would hurt himself?" Hunk questioned.
My blood ran cold. It all made sense now. How he would wince whenever I accidentally hit his arm. How he would tug down his sleeves as if he thought they weren't long enough. "I've gotta go." I turned and ran.
I had to find him before it was to late. I had to find Lance before he does the stupidest thing he could ever do.
I thought about how empty the castle would be without his laughs or jokes. How the room would never brighten without his smile. I ran faster as I thought of this. I got to his door and opened it.
My breath caught in my throat as I saw Lance.

I let it out when I saw how he wasn't lifeless on the ground. But what I saw was heartbreaking. Lance was curled up in a ball in a corner, silently crying.
Is this what happens when he disappears?
"Lance?" I called out to him. He jolted and quickly stood up, rubbing his eyes. "K-Keith?! When did you g-get in here?" I sighed, shaking my head as I walked over to him. I wrapped my arms around him. "You don't need to hide around me Lance. I'm here for you, I always will." Lance let out a sob. "Why?" His voice broke as he said that. "Why what?" He finally looked up at me. "Why do you care? I-I-I I always annoy you and try to get on your nerves. I made fun of you, I did countless things so why do you still care?!" I tightened my hug and stared into his icy eyes. I tensed before confessing. "Because I Love You." I think we both stopped breathing at this point. "W-What?" "I-I I said that I still care because I love you, Lance." He seemed to hug me tighter, if even possible. "I Love You Too Keith."
From then on, I promised that I would protect him and keep him from any kind of harm. Whether it be Mental or Physical, I will Always Protect him.
