Voltron One Shots

Outed

Prompt: Just like anything where Lance has a secret and tells the team or gets outed, then angstify it

A/N: As soon as I saw this prompt I had like,, so many ideas but as soon as I sat down to write it my mind went totally blank lol. And as you may know when I run out of ideas I write a bunch of vague shit that can literally be interpreted as anything and... I think you may know where I'm going with this. I hope you all like it anyway!

Trigger warnings: none

Lance slammed the door behind him and pressed himself up against it, his body shaking. Lance let out a shaky breath and squeezed his eyes closed. A pained noise escaped his throat as he slammed his closed fists against the door angrily. "Fuck!" It was only a few moments before he heard footsteps outside.

"Lance?" A panicked voice called through the door. "Lance are you in there?" Lance bit his lip and willed him to go away. Lance locked the handle just before the person attempted to enter the room. "Lance, please let me in" he begged.

"Go away, Hunk!" Lance winced as his voice cracked. "I don't- I don't want to talk to you"

"I need to apologize" Hunk said desperately. He pulled on the door handle again. "Let me in! Please, let me in so I can say I'm sorry" Lance didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to see Hunk or hear his flimsy excuses. Lance bit his tongue to keep from saying something he was going to regret. Hunk struggled for a few more minutes before giving up. "Fine, if you won't let me in will you at least listen?" he pleaded. Lance stayed silent. He was busy trying to push back the tears.

Hunk took Lance's silence as acceptance. "Lance, I'm so sorry" he said, his voice high in alarm. "I didn't- I didn't meant to tell them. It was an accident I swear! Shiro asked me about and I- I didn't mean to tell them!" Lance felt his cheeks burn in shame. They all knew. Everyone knew his secret now.

"An accident?" Lance asked incredulously. "You know—" Lance choked down a sob. "You know that was a secret... I told you to- never to tell anyone! Ever!" He heard Hunk lean on the door as he spoke again.

"I know! I wish, fuck, Lance I wish I could go back and stop myself. I didn't even know what I was saying until it was too late! You have to believe me, I would never tell anyone your secrets but—"

"It's too late for that!" Lance pushed himself away from the door. He wasn't far enough away from Hunk. "You already spilled my secret to the only humans within a million fucking miles!"

"Lance the- the others don't even care! When they heard none of them thought any different of you. They didn't care about—" Lance let out an exasperated noise.

"It doesn't matter!" Lance exclaimed, beginning to pace around the room. He wasn't upset anymore. He was just pissed. "It doesn't matter if they don't care about it. I do! I care about it! I told you that in confidence. You knew that it was a secret, that I didn't want anyone else to know. I thought... I thought you were my friend" A few tears escaped him, falling down his face and splashing onto the floor. He wanted to punch something.

"Lance, please" Hunk said vehemently. He was obviously crying as well. "Just, I'm so so sorry" Lance shook his head.

"It's to- It's too late for that" he said sharply, trying to keep his voice level.

"Lance—"

"Hunk, I don't- I don't want to talk to you right now" he said, his voice barely above a whisper. He knew that Hunk heard him, based on the sharp intake of breath that he heard coming from the other side of the door.

"If- if you would just let me—" Hunk said between quiet sobs. Lance buried his face in his hands.

"No, Hunk" It pained him to turn his friend away, but what he had done was unforgivable in Lance's book. Secrets were supposed to stay secrets. Lance couldn't believe that his own best friend betrayed him like that. "I can't- I can't."

"O- okay" Hunk sniffed. "I'm so sor..." Lance turned away from the door, not wanting to hear him apologize again.

As soon as he knew Hunk was gone he reared his arm back and punched the wall as hard as he could. He could feel the bones in his hand snap as they collided with the hard surface. "FUCK!" He screamed, stumbling back. He cradled his now injured hand to his chest, more tears pouring out. He collapsed onto the floor in a mass of blood and tears.

He couldn't believe Hunk betrayed him like that.

He wasn't sure he could ever forgive him.
