Voltron One Shots

Check

Prompt: Sooo... I write Klance and I have a "prompt" I can't use. Lance and Keith go on a mission which ends up with them both seriously hurt. When they return, thanks to Lance, the team focuses all their energy on Keith, but ignore Lance, despite Keith himself saying Lance needs help. Basically, Lance self destructs as he waits for Keith's pod to open, and the moment they hug, Keith hand comes back covered in blood and Lance vomits blood all over him. Keith proceeds to lose it at them, and Lance lives

A/N: I hope you all like it!

Trigger warnings: injury, blood

~ ~ ~

No one knew anything was wrong until Lance appeared in the doorway, dragging Keith across the floor, leaving smeared trail of blood behind them. Everyone was frozen in surprise as Lance dragged the injured Keith into the middle of the room, grunting from the effort.

"Don't just fucking stand there!" Lance snapped. "Help him!" Everyone moved at once. They all surrounded Keith, fretting over him and checking his injuries. Lance was shoved out of the way, so they could get a closer look. Blood was pouring out of a gaping wound that stretched from Keith's stomach to his side and down to his hip.

"What happened!?" Allura shouted as she attempted to stop the blood with her hands. "Are you injured anywhere else Keith?" Keith's head lulled to the side. He was mumbling incoherently.

"Keith?" Shiro crouched next to Keith and turned his head. "Hey, stay awake for me Keith. Can you do that?" Keith continued to mumble.

"Lance, what happened?" Hunk asked, his voice tight with panic. Hunk didn't do well with blood, so he was standing to the side, waiting if anyone needed anything.

"There were... they came out of nowhere. They were so many we... There was nothing we could..." Lance shook his head. He was too shaken up to think clearly. It didn't matter. Everyone was focused on Keith.

Lance wrung his hands together nervously and stood to the side. Keith was still trying to say something, though no one could make it out.

"Coran is the pod ready?" Allura called. She was working on peeling Keith's armor off without hurting him any further. This was proving to be difficult. Keith was struggling weakly against Shiro and Allura's grip, muttering slurred words.

"Keith, please calm down" Shiro pleaded. "We're trying to help you" Keith mumbled something else. "What are you trying to say?"

"...ance" Keith fought against Shiro's hands which were pinning him down. "Lance... help" Shiro nodded.

"Yeah, Lance helped you. He's here. He's alright" he promised. Keith let out a noise and then fell back limply. Sweat was pouring out of Keith just as fast as the blood.

"Coran!" Allura shouted. There was a loud noise and then Pidge burst into the room.

"It's ready!" She exclaimed. Hunk and Shiro worked together to gently lift Keith up and carry him into the infirmary. Lance followed closely behind. Worry pooled in his gut. Keith had taken the brunt of the gun fire. Lance gunned a few of them down, but one guard managed to get close enough to take a chunk out of Keith's chest plate.

Keith was currently trying to communicate something. No one could understand him. "Lance... he- he- Lan... Lance! H..."

"Keith, please save you energy. You can tell us when you get out of the pod" Keith shook his head wildly, but he was struggling to stay conscious at this point.

"Lance... hurt" he mumbled. Hunk frowned at him.

"Lance is fine. He's right there. See?" Hunk said, nodding his head behind him. Keith continued to shake his head until they were in the infirmary. Within a few seconds Keith was securely in the healing pod, and everyone finally relaxed. Lance hovered next to Keith's healing pod, listening in on the other's conversation. They were all worrying over Keith, unsure of how bad his injuries really were.

No one even looked to Lance.

Lance sat down and leaned against the healing pod. He lifted his hand and wiped his mouth, when he pulled it back it was covered in blood. Lance closed his fist and closed his eyes. He could deal with that when he knew that Keith was safe.

It was hours before Keith finally emerged from the healing pod. Lance had fallen in and out of a restless sleep several times when he finally heard the pod door open. Lance shot up instantly, trying to ignore the dizziness that filled his head. Lance blinked the blurriness out of his eyes as Keith stumbled out of the pod.

"Keith!" Lance let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. "Are you alright?" he asked. It took Keith a moment to realize where he was and what happened. Keith grabbed Lance's forearms and searched his face.

"Are you alright?" he asked. Lance hesitated. There was no reason to worry him right now. He had just gotten out of the healing pod.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I thought that you... I didn't know if—" Keith grabbed Lance's shoulder and pulled him into a tight hug. Lance winced but hugged Keith back as best he could.

"Me too" Keith breathed into his ear. "When they hit me, I was sure... I was sure that you got hit..." Lance tensed up. "I saw... I saw you get hit" Keith said slowly. Lance felt his stomach lurch suddenly. He pushed Keith back. Keith pulled his arms back and saw that they were covered in blood.

"I- I- I—"

"Lance...?" Lance grabbed his stomach and let out a groan. He doubled over and spit up blood all over Keith. A lot of blood. "Lance!" Keith screamed. He grabbed Lance just as he passed out. "Coran! Allura! Someone! Help!" he screamed as he dragged Lance toward the healing pod. Keith didn't know where all the blood was coming from. "You're going to be okay" Keith said, mostly to himself. "You're going to be okay" Keith closed the door to the healing pod and switched the controls on just as Shiro and Allura burst into the room, the other close behind them.

"Keith? What's going on?" Allura asked, eyeing the blood covering Keith and the floor. "Are you alright!?" Keith double checked that the healing pod was on and working before turning to the others.

"Why didn't anyone check Lance?" Keith asked sharply.

"What are you talking about?" Pidge asked.

"Lance!" Keith gestured to the pod, where Lance's pale blood covered face was illuminated. "He coughed up a lung full of blood and collapsed!" Keith exclaimed. He was confused. How had this happened? "He sat here the whole time-!" No one had bothered to check on Lance.

"That was so stupid of him! Why wouldn't he tell us that he was hurt!?" Shiro exclaimed. Keith snapped his head toward Shiro.

"Are you shitting me?" he asked dangerously. "Are s- I told you that he was hurt, and you didn't listen! Why didn't any of you check him for injuries when we got back? No one even asked him if he was okay! He sat here the whole time you all just left him!?" Keith balled up his fists in anger. He couldn't believe it.

"Keith—" Shiro tried to say something. Keith shook his head, a hurt look on his face.

"No. Shiro, no. I just- Pray that Lance comes out of there okay. Because if he doesn't..." Keith closed his eyes and shook his head.

If Lance wasn't okay Keith would never forgive them.
