Two Sides Of One Coin: 'Seventh Wheel' [Voltron]

{Chapter 5}

Haven't watched Season 7 yet, but here we go back to the boys, Shiro and Lance.

Lance begins talking about personal issues to Shiro.

---------

Shiro sat at the end of the bed, watching the now weak paladin before him, he didn't want to move in case of a sudden shiver to Lance.

All he saw in that room was reflections of hurt, worry and things from the past.

Shiro was about to speak to Lance again, then it slithered through his body, he has dealt with this before. Sendek. Were the galra making Lance weary?

Lance shuffled in the bed, the covers up to his stomach as he sat up, "Shiro what am i to the team?"

------

Allura tried to calm Keith down, "You're going to rile yourself up Keith, Shiro has noted Lance will not be training today, i can sense Blue is telling me different though"

"It isn't like him or shiro in fact!" Keith blurred out into Allura's fancy speaking. Hunk just rubbed at Keith's back, "Keith your galra is showing.." He whispered.

Pidge looked around the room, "Keith you were training with Lance and Shiro yesterday right?"

Keith nodded, "Well Lance being a total idiot and thinking he can defeat everything and then me and Shiro saving his butt.. and maybe i went overboard.."

"What do you mean overboard?" Keith hitched a breath, "I shouted at Lance.. because something was bothering him, then Shiro was there.. ugh it would make a lot more sense if you just watch the training deck videos"

Allura smiled, "Well at least we are all okay? And i'm pretty sure Coran has them saved"

-------

Lance bit his lip as that question came out of his own mouth to another teammate scratch that his Leader.

Shiro rested his chin in his arm, "Lance. You are a lot of things and are definitely important in the team, you're capable of many things"

"That doesn't answer my Question.. i want to start feeling something in the team.. heck i haven't even activated Blue's bayard in Voltron.."

"Lance. Look at me" He saw those blue eyes slowly look up to him, he could sense Lance was uncomfortable.

"You are something to me, a lot more things, you are very talented, you know when something is wrong, you think sharp at the last minute. You are my favourite sharpshooter after all.." Shiro lifted a smile on his face, he could see Lance had a small smile on his face.

Lance huffed, "I get that but.. i want to be adored i guess, i'm still not used to the less attention at earth then space.."

Lance lied about his garrison days, especially way before he met Hunk and Pidge properly in a team. Now they are in Voltron.

Shiro stood up, "I'm not as what everyone expects me to be either Lance i'm-"

Lance shook his head, "Don't say anything! You are perfect.. you're my hero, you're amazing with dealing with these things and you're different to everyone and thats what i like.." He mumbled the last sentence.

Shiro smiled, "As i was going to say, before coming to this team, i didn't expect to get far.. i was ready to leave the garrison as soon as my body gave up on me.. but i couldn't leave things what were important behind.."

Lance and Shiro smiled and started talking to each other for the rest of their time together. Until of course it had to be split up by the team needing Shiro's arm.

Lance scooted quickly grabbing Shiro's arm, no matter how much pain he was in.

"I didn't ask this.. but since i'm probably never ever going back to earth.. and i couldn't say it to my family.. i may or may not find both gen-" He was cut off by Shiro patting his shoulder.

"Don't worry, that's another secret i have too in common with you, plus don't give up on your chance Lance.. earth is still waiting for you at the end of this.." Shiro smiled, standing back up and heading for the door, "Oh and Lance.. i knew from the beginning i met you.."

Lance coughed as soon as Shiro was out of that door, his leader and hero knew mostly everything about him now, if he just could he would tell shiro- "No Lance leave that til a different day.." He sighed out softly.

Keith barged into Shiro's room, "Oh Lance. I thought i'd find you in your room resting not Shiro's.. i knew you injured. So what happened?"

Lance shivered, forgetting anyone can walk in and out of anywhere, but he didn't respond.

"Says you Keith.. why are you in Shiro's room?" He teased smiling.

Keith hissed he was caught out, "Alright fine- i thought i'd wonder what really happened to you and i felt bad for the things i did in the training room.. if shiro wants me to be the leader of voltron if anything happens to him then.. i need to make sure everyone else is fine with that.." He sighed, standing there awkwardly.

Lance laughed, "Haha very funny mullet" He babled on splurting out how keith didnt care.

Keith smiled, "There's the Lance that's been missing. It wasn't really you these past couple of days. Okay i admit. I was an ass to you, i am sorry Lance"

Lance sat up once again, "I know Keith, but i haven't been myself ever since i came to Voltron. Everyone has their secrets.."

Keith smiled then sighed, "Yeah they do.." His Blade shone in his eyes as soon as he turned it.

"But some are best keeping to ourselves" They both said in sync.
