True Love

Market

"So you lost your leg?" Hunk asked. Yorak nodded.

"It hasn't been much of a problem, with the villager's kindness I got a new one" Yorak said, happily. They smiled to each other. Lance came in looking sad. He had pretty dry tears on his face. As some of the others did.

Yorak got up, bringing tissues over, they handing one to him. Lance smiled thankfully, taking it. Once he was done with it, he throw it away. Yorak quickly hugged him, shocking Lance and a few of the others. They only ever opened their arms to them, or patted them on the back, tears welled back up in Lance's eyes, he hugged them back tightly, even shaking a bit as he sobbed quietly. Yorak didn't know why but they cried a bit too.

Once they pulled apart Yorak smiled.

"I apologize I don't know what-" Yorak stopped. Going silent. Their eyes flashed purple for a moment. They stared at Lance a little longer, then blinked a few times.

"Okay, we should be going to the market now, is everyone coming or would some of you like to rest?" Yorak asked. Lance smiled.

"I'll go with you" Lance said. Hunk sighed.

"I would love to, but I'm kind of tired" Hunk said.

"I'll go with you" Shiro said.

"I will join" Coran said.

"I'm tied as well, I will stay with Hunk" Allura said. Pidge shrugged.

"Are there any gadgets?" Pidge asked.

"Of course" Yorak said.

"Then I'll go" Pidge said. They laughed a bit.

"I shall accompany you to the market, Cosmo will join us" Kroila said.

"I'll stay here, unfortunately I am tired as well" Romelle said.

"I'll stay will them" Donovan said. Yorak smiled.

"Alright, let's go then! Bring a basket, will you?" Yorak asked, they nodded, each grabbing one. They left to the market.

Walking to the village takes a while, but they get there. The market was people selling under a long tent, they walked to each place, looking at what they had, Yorak telling them what to grab.

"Oh! Look at this, Yorak!" Lance said. Yorak walked over. They smiled to this.

"Oh yes, of course. Would you like one?" Yorak asked.

"Well, of course! They're awesome! I bet he would have loved it too..." Lance said, muttering the last part. Yorak's ears went down, but they smiled. It was a necklace, the charm being a small knife, which almost looked real, those it was also gorgeous looking.

"Hello? How much is this?" Yorak asked, Lance was shocked by this, but smiled.

"Oh, you don-"

"Too late" Yorak said, trading the money and grabbing the necklace, they put it on Lance.

"You seemed to really like it, and I think he would have wanted you to have it" Yorak said, with a soft smile. Lance was shocked. Yorak walked to the next store. Lance couldn't help but think that thought.

They reminded him of Keith.

Lance watched, still shocked at Yorak looked amazed by some sparks that flow form a product being shown. Purple lighting up their eyes. They smiled, then looking to Lance.

"Hey! Come over here and check this out! I've never seen anything like it" Yorak said, their voice going a bit whispered. Lance smiled.

"Alright, alright. I'll be the judge on if it's that amazing" Lance said. Yorak laughed to this, Lance felt his heartbeat speed up.

He was falling in love, and he didn't even know it.

Yorak's Pov

We walked back home with all the stuff I need for dinner, and a few extra things. I handed my basket to Hunk.

"I apologize, can you bring this inside for me? I have to good take care of the flowers" I said. Hunk smiled, nodding.

"Of course" Hunk said. I smiled back, then leaving to the well. I grabbed the water out, going over and water them.

"You've all bloomed beautifully! I'm happy that you all have not had much problems today! You're doing splendidly! I went to the market today with our visitors, we had a fun time. When I usually go to the market of course everything is enjoyable, but this time we messed around, tried new things, it was awesome. And it reminded me of messing around in a castle. So I got some memories out of it too!" I said cheerfully. They seemed to all bloom a bit more, telling me they were happy. I smiled to this, then walking over to the smallest.

Lance had been withering earlier, I wonder if after his original planters talked with him he would feel better.

He was bloomed now. Making me smile thankfully.

"Oh, Lance I'm glad you're feeling better! I was getting worried I thought you would-... Did you hear what happened? I got some memories back! Isn't that good?" I asked.

"Lance?" I jumped to the voice. I turned around quickly, seeing the blue paladin, I never caught their names.

"Oh... Yeah. He was the first flower planted here, he wasn't doing so good earlier, but he's better now, so that's good!" I said happily.

"You named them? Why did you name him Lance?" He asked, walking over. I thought about it.

"Well, because... Because of a promise I suppose" I said, he nodded.

"Donovan said you should start making dinner" He said, I smiled, nodding to him.

"Thank you. I'll be-" Sparkles came form Lance, surrounding me quickly. I gasped lightly. Feeling that headache come back.

"Allura said you should had to the bridge, she wants to chat with you about something"

"Actually, I was hoping I could talk with you first?"

"Um... Okay, what is it?

"..."

"N- Never mind"

"I was planning a confession to him then" I said, once reality came back.

"What?" The Blue paladin asked. I looked over.

"Oh, I remember something, Lance helped me" I said, I felt my cheek, feeling tears. I wiped them away.

"Let's head inside" I said, getting up, I got out of the fenced in garden, walking over to the blue paladin.

"That's a good idea" He said, we stared at each other for a bit longer. My heartbeat picked up. What is this feeling?

This this what it feels like to be...

In love?
