Altean Lance/Voltron

Birthday-Lance POV

"Hey guys what's up?" I asked excitedly, as I plopped down on one of the couches in the castle. I watched as they all fumbled around, throwing papers under stuff and hiding others.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!" Hunk exclaimed, but I could see the sweat dripping off of his face. A small frown formed on my face, but I quickly hid it with a smile.

"Alrighty then! So, what do you guys wanna do today?" I ask, giving a wink and shooting my signature finger guns in their direction.

"Can you just leave us along right now Lance? We are doing something important," Shiro asked, giving me a look.

"Oh um yeah sure, sorry I intruded," I say, walking out of the lounge. I lean against the frigid wall, and listen to the others as they all start to happily talk amongst themselves. I sigh, and continue the small walk to my room. Once in, I plop down on my bed, and stare at the ceiling.

This is pretty much how it has been for the past...while. Every time I walk into a room, they hide some stuff, and shoo me away.

Are they bonding without me?

Are they going to kick me off the team?

They wouldn't do that... would they?

Apparently it's been hours since I walked in, because I look over at my clock and realize it is time for dinner. A sigh escapes my lips as I proceed to the kitchen/dining hall. I stand at the entrance watching the others as they all talk together. They look so...happy.

Keith is smiling. Something I could never make him do.

Shiro is praising Pidge. Something Shiro would never to do me.

Pidge is showing off some of her cool gadgets that she made. Something I couldn't ever do.

Hunk is making jokes, making the others laugh. Something I was never capable of doing.

Everyone is making the others smile, and laugh, and they are all happy together. Without me to ruin everything.

I'm about to walk away when I hear someone yelp. I look back and see the others hiding their stuff. They stopped talking, and are looking either at me or at the table. No choice now. I have to go over there and eat.

I grab some goo, humming a tune my sis taught me back me on Earth and sit in my normal seat. No one is making a sound while I shovel space goo into my mouth, still humming the Spanish tune. The silence in the room is intoxicating, and I quickly finish and get up. I put my bowl in the sink and am about to walk out the door when I hear someone whisper something.

"Why is Lance so quiet? He never shuts up..." I face away from them and frown. I sigh, and put on a fake smile as I turn around to face them.

"Goodnight space fam! Sleep well!" I say cheerily, and walk out the door. I can hear them continuing their...whatever from down the hall.

It's pretty late now, and everyone probably has gone to sleep now. I quietly get out of my bed and walk to Hunk's room, where I can hear his loud snores from outside the door. I move to Pidge's room where I hear the keys on her computer clacking away. I let out a sigh, and knock on her door. She opens the door a couple seconds later, a glare on her dimly lit face.

"Hey Pidgey, you need some sleep. Go to bed. Now." I instruct, and point to her bed.

"No way." She growls at me.

"You're left me no choice," I sigh, and grab her computer from her grasp. She lets out a yelp, and reaches up for it. I hold it above my head where she cannot reach it. I walk into her room and put the computer on a very high shelf where she couldn't even reach it with a stool.

"I will give you your computer in the morning after you go to sleep." I say simply, and cross my arms. She lets out a growl, as she drags her feet over to her bed where she plops down and soon falls asleep. I walk out of her room and down the hall to where Shiro sleeps. I can hear the man tossing and turning inside of his room. I walk inside, and see him in a cold sweat. I gently nudge him, trying to get him to wake.

"Hey Shiro...wake up buddy," I whisper, and soon enough he abruptly sits up. He looks over at me, and I can see the fear on his face.

"Hey... there there it was only a nightmare..." I whisper tenderly as he lays back down. He soon falls asleep again, this time with a smile on his face. I walk out of the room and down to the training room where I can hear a sword slicing through metal objects. I lean against the doorway, watching as Keith slashes away at the training bots.

"Pause training sequence!" I yell, as I make my way over to where Keith was standing. He looks over at me, and growls.

"What the hell Lance. I almost was finished with that level," He snarls at me, walking right up to my face. I give him an unimpressed look.

"Scary Kogane. Alright come on, bed time," I say, moving aside and motion for the door. I shift my weight from foot to foot, avoiding eye contact with him. He looks way too hot right now, with sweat dripping down his face and body, shirt hugging his muscled chest, sweatpants tight against his legs. I bite my lip as he walks by, and soon follow after him making sure he goes to his room.

"Night Keith," I mumble, and am about to turn around and head to my room when I feel big sweaty arms wrap me in a hug. But as quickly as it had been there, it was gone, and so was Keith.

I fiddle with the hem of my sleeve as I walk back to my room, the occasional little twirl of my hair.

I plop down on my bed, and I stare at the ceiling for a while. I let out a sigh, and soon sleep takes over.

My eyes open, and I lay on my bed for a while.

I actually slept last night.

I get up slowly, and walk into my bathroom. I look at the clock thing on my sink, and a small smile forms on my face.

Today is my birthday.

I don't even bother covering my freckles or my curly hair as I hop out of the bathroom, humming a song by Shakira. I walk into the kitchen, and for some reason, no one is there. I hesitantly walk over to the table, grabbing some goo on my way. I sit down, and start eating happily. 

I wonder where the other's could be.

Once finished, I put the bowl away, and walked around the castle. While staring into space, I ran into someone. I fell to the ground with a thump, shaking my head slightly. I look up, to see who I ran into.

There stood Keith, who was looking away from me. 

"Come to the hanger," He growled at me, and ran away. I sat there, confusion etched on my face. 

"Um, ok then..." I murmured to myself, before I got up and made my way to the hangers. 

Once I walked through the doors,  I instantly curled in on myself. The lights were off. 

"Um...guys?" I questioned, taking another step inside. The doors slammed shut behind me, and I let out a high pitched yell of shock. 

I walked inside a bit more, before the lights were switched on.

"Happy Birthday Lance!"
