Langst one shots

Scars

Lets imagine if we still had the castle for this one shot

Lance stood looking into the mirror with his shirt off. From the neck up he looks like he hadn't been fighting an all out space war for 2 years. But from the neck down he had scars to prove it. He dislikes his scars but it shows what he's been though, good or bad. He looked at his right side where there was a long scar running up his abdomen from when he was trapped in his lion with shrapnel stuck in side him, he had to get it out himself. He looked at his left side where there was a circular shaped scar from getting shot, from that scar came many more like it on his chest. He looked at his arms, short lines lined his upper arms from getting hit in battle. A long line going down his left forearm from a suicide attempt after he felt hopeless after their hardest mission when they lost Shiro again. He turned around to look at his back, to see his burn scar all across his back with newer scars across it from getting whipped from his time with the Galra. He looked at his legs to see scars on his hips from battles and attempts to feel things when he felt numb to the universe. A jagged scar above his right knee below that his had not leg just an Altean prosthetic the Galra didn't bother to put one on him, just to make him suffer a little bit more. He looked back up in the mirror. He touched his face. He's surprised that he hasn't gotten any scars on his face. He looked through his hair and saw some gray, but it wasn't horrible. He was just upset that he is only 18 and he never got to have his teen-hood, he started to think what if he didn't sneak out to go find Pidge with Hunk, would Pidge be thrown into space? Or would she be able to have a semi normal teen-hood? Or is it good she's here now and was able to find her dad and brother? Would Keith just lived his life out with Shiro? Would hunk become a chef? Would have Lance gotten to be a aeronautical engineer? These were questions no one could answer. Lance moved from his bathroom back into his main room and he started to clean.
"Hey Lance I need to to sign something I-"
Pidge stopped when she looked up. She saw Lances back as Lance turned to face her. She saw scars that she'd never seen before.
"Pidge- it's- ah fuck um-" he saw Pidges eyes well with tears.
"L-lance."
"Pidge i'm fine I'm alive it's ok!" Lance tried to make her feel better but she ran out the door. Lance sighed, he should have put a shirt on instead of staying in shorts. He put on a shirt and walked out. He had no where in particular of where he was going, but he ended up stopping at  Keith's door. He knocked and wait for a response.
"Come in." Keith states from inside his room.
"Hey, I need to talk to you."
"I thought I told you to leave the math to Pidge."
Lance chuckled a little bit but then went back to his serious yet upset tone.
"It's actually about Pidge, she saw all my scars that no one has seen."
"You have scars no ones seen?"
"Yeah I mean you guys just kinda gave up putting the clothing suite thing with a life and death situation with some of us with suit or no suit."
"True. How'd she react."
"She looked scared and afraid. She started to cry, I couldn't comfort her. She ran out of the room."
"She'll come around, just give her time."
"Thanks Keith, with someone who 'doesn't deal with emotions well' can deal with emotions quite well"
Keith rolled his eyes in response.
"See you later Lance."
"You to Mullet." Lance walked out and went to the common room to just look at the stars passing. Low and behold Allura is there.
"Afternoon Allura."
"Oh hi Lance."
"Do you know what happened to Pidge I saw her running she bumped into me and she had tears in eyes?"
"Oh that was my fault."
"Lance. What did you do." Her voice was stern and scary, Lance could feel the murder in her voice.
"Calm down she just saw things that she didn't need to see."
"May I see it then? So we can get rid of the problem?"
"Your looking at it."
"Not funny Lance."
"Not kidding she saw how my scars turned out after getting hurt."
"Oh."
"Yeah, I think she'll be fine.I think it was just the shock of it all."
"Ok, I trust you Lance."
"Thanks Allura."
Lance walked away and went back to his to his room. He started to think how to prevent another incident like this. He came up with and idea he didn't really like it but it solve it. He would show everyone his scars, and let them ask questions. He took a deep breath and got up to find Allura again.
"Hey Allura can you send something over the announcement com?"
"Yes, What is it we need to say?"
"Everyone to the common room in 5 minutes"
"Why Lance?"
"You'll find out."
Everyone please report to the common room in 5 minutes
Five minutes later and here they were all sitting with Lance standing in front of them.
"So, earlier today Pidge walked into my room and saw something that no one else had seen."
"Lance I'm sorry I didn't- I just needed-"
"Calm down Pidge I'm not mad at you. So to solve the problem to make sure it's not as upsetting to the person who sees it, I'm going to show you."
Before anyone could say anything he pulled off his shirt. His toned tan abs with plenty of slashes and gun shots. Same for his chest. He turned around and showed his back. With the long scars that healed before they put him in a pod after finding him in the Galra prison. His burn scar from saving Coran. He turned back around and showed his inner arms, with his harsh self harm scars.
"Here it is, you guys can ask questions or just stare at me I guess."
Keith looked at him, when Lance said that Pidge saw scars that she shouldn't have, he meant it.
"Are you ever in pain?" Pidge asked to at least feel comforted, the scars looked like the hurt.
"It depends sometimes I get phantom pains in my missing leg." Lance said as casually as possible
"The scars on your inner forearms are any of those from when we were on earth?" Keith didn't want to think that all his self harm scars were newer than they wanted them to be.
"They have all been since we got into space." Lance looked guilty exposing this.
"What about your mental wounds? Do you have nightmares, do you sometimes get triggered and go into a panic attack seeing the scars from the Galra." Shiro asked as calmly as he could.
"That's not the type of scars we're here for right now," Lance paused debating if to answer, "but yes I do have nightmares and panic attacks."
He didn't want to expose this because he felt the team already had enough emotional baggage with Shiro having nightmares and panic attacks, but Shiro did ask it. Maybe so he could have someone to sympathize with.
"Think that's enough for today." Lance said while putting on his shirt.
"Lance I want to talk to you." Shiro called to a leaving Lance.
The brunette turned around and went to Shiro.
"Yes Shiro."
"Don't be afraid. The nightmares will never be real, and you just need to breath during panic attacks."
"What if the nightmares are of things that actually happened."
"I don't know Lance. I don't know."

Yo yo yo! I'm back! How have you guys been, cause I've been good.
