Voltron-Altean Lance AU

Chapter 3• Training

(Quick note: Trying to change my writing style a bit, starting with writing past tense instead of present)

Training.
Aka, the most exhausting shit the four had ever done.
Lance was exempt from the training, since he already had the knowledge he needed to pilot. Instead he was their teacher in combat, and Keith didn't enjoy being taught by the Prince at all.
"What the fuck kind of stance is that. You're vulnerable." Keith complained
The Prince sighed in annoyance "Yes, but this way it's much easier to get a hit."
"That's dumb."
"It's how Alteans do it. Must I remind you which species created a giant flying castle?"
"Mechanics have nothing to do with fighting."
"Just stand like I told you to."
Pidge, Hunk and Shiro watched carefully.
Finally Keith gave in and stood the way Lance had told them. "There. Happy?"
"Good, now try and land a hit on me."
"What?"
"They're dull swords, they can't cut anyone. Besides we're wearing armor."
Keith rolled his eyes and tried to take a swing at the Prince. Lance dodged easily.
"Is that really all you got?"
Keith took another swing. Lance once again dodged without effort. They continued for about 5 minutes before Keith gave up. He sat on the floor, panting heavily and caked in sweat. Lance simply grabbed his sword and smirked, completely unfazed. "Who's next?"
"Damn, he's good." Pidge mumbled.
Keith got up "How... did you do that."
"Alteans train just like you are now at age five. I'm surprised you even know how to hold a sword."
Keith scowled "Excuse me?"
"Anyways," Lance set the sword aside and started walking off "Lunch?"
"Is it just me, or is he a lot different then yesterday?" Hunk asked as the Prince walked out
"Maybe he is just confident when it comes to fighting."
Keith raised an eyebrow "Yesterday he said he hated fighting. And blood."
Shiro just shrugged. "Food now, questions later. Come on." He started walking out, and the other paladins followed.
The paladins all walked to the kitchen, following behind the Prince, who walked like he owned the place.
Which, he kind of did.
Keith just rolled his eyes. Lance's cockiness was getting on his nerves.
Once they walked in, the paladins' jaws dropped in shock.
The dining table was filled with all sorts of dishes, none they had ever seen before.
But it all looked amazing.
The paladins sat down quickly.
Shiro, Pidge, Hunk, then Keith. Lance sat down at the end, beside Keith.
The mullet-haired boy raised an eyebrow at the Prince. "Um, what are you doing?"
Lance looked back at him with the same expression. "Sitting?"
"Why here?"
"I always sit here."
"You can't sit anywhere else?"
Lance just ignored him and started grabbing something to eat. What he picked out looked like what you would called Steak on earth.
Right before Lance could pick up his fork, the paladins were pulled back in their chairs, their arms pinned down. Altean-style handcuffs appeared from the chairs and attached onto the paladins' hands, a neon colored string attaching everyone's hands together.
The Prince looked around frantically. His handcuff, of all people, was connected to Keith's. "Allura?? What are you-"
The Princess just grinned. "Bonding exercising!"
"What the hell does that mean" Keith growled, "And why am I only attacked to HIM?"
Lance and Keith, in fact, weren't starched to the other three paladins.
Allura just grinned even wider. "It means that you will learn to get along better! With these ha-"
"I thought I was exempt from exercises!" Lance whined.
"-ndcuffs will-"
"DON'T IGNORE ME!" Lance screamed.
"Well you need to learn to get along with them, you're a team now!"
"I do get along with them!"
Keith snorted at that. "You really dont."
Lance whipped his head over to Keith with a glare. "What did you just say?"
"See! You need to bond!" Allura scolded. Lance just sighed in defeat.
Meanwhile, the other three paladins were already cooperating well. The handcuffs gave them a few feet of room, they ate easily with no problems.
Keith rolled his eyes in annoyance. "How long are you making us wear these?"
"Just for tonight!" Allura giggled.
The red and blue paladins froze. They both knew what that meant.
They would have to share a room tonight.
Sleep together.
In the same bed.
