"Lance," Lotor walked after the paladin as he stormed down the halls as he remembered the lefts and rights and how many steps he had to take to get to his room.

"Lance stop!" Lotor barked as he grabbed his arm before lance opened his room.

"Stop! Let go!" Lance yelled back ripping his arm away and slammed the door closed behind him.

Lance inhaled deeply as he gripped the sides of his head, trying to blink tears away. He placed his hand along the walls as he went to find his personal bathroom, he needed to splash water in his face, it was getting to hot and hard to breathe. He had to breathe.

"Lance please let me in," Lotor said through the door but lance closed the bathroom door quickly as he couldn't face anyone. They didn't want or need him, but what twisted sick logic is just keeping him around?

Lances hands shook as he gripped the cold counter under his palms while he swallowed a heavy lump in his throat. He panted trying to contain his panic attack but he stepped back and fell, tripping over his own feet, he landed against the wall and inhaled a sharp breath as he slid down the wall feeling his tears finally going down his face.

Lotor walked in seeing the room empty but the bathroom was shut. He tried to open it but realized it was locked.

"Lance?" He placed his hand against the wall with a gentle tone.

"Please g-go away," Lance whispered as he closed his eyes, trying to not make a sound as he cried silently.

"No one deserves to be alone with the situation your in," Lotor told him seriously.

"Fuck off!" Lance screamed as more tears ran down his face.

"Enough," Lotor narrowed his eyes. "Let me in,"

"N-no!"

Lotor sighed crossing his arms as he waited while thinking of a plan. Soon Allura and Shiro walked in concerned for the paladin as Shiro forced Allura to join him.

"Leave my Paladins alone," Allura glared at Lotor but Shiro pulled her back.

"Lance please open the door," Shiro knocked but they all jumped hearing something being thrown at the the door and breaking.

"Just stop talking! I'm fine!" Lance screamed on the other side.

"Lance please-" "stop," Lotor put a hand on alluras shoulder gently as he looked at the door. "Your not the person he wants to talk to right now,"

"Oh and you are?" Allura glared up.

"It's not up to me to say," Lotor glared back challengingly.

"Lance you know your not alone, we all have been through this trauma," Shiro sighed trying to be the team leader lance looked up too.

"Fuck you and your fucking arm! You still have an arm! I'm still fucking blind!" Lance snapped throwing something again.

"He's not wrong?" Lotor raised an eye brow looking at Shiro with a shrug.

"I'm going to go get hunk," Allura sighed walking away. She looked back and Shiro nodded following her as they had to talk separately from the group on the way.

Lance heard the footsteps leaving but only two, someone else stayed. At this point he didn't know who would care to stay, Allura to feel guilt? Shiro cause he had to? Lotor cause he pities?

Lance whimpered as he breathed quickly as his face felt washed with tears as he just wanted to disappear from the universe. It felt pathetic how much he's cried lately, just when he thing he couldn't cry anymore it still happens, over and over again.

He covered his mouth shaking his head but tried to get up but his hand slipped against the wall and crashed against the floor with a grunt but a gasp escaped his lips when he fell into the broken glass case that was shattered, it had his face moisturizer across the floor as. Lance gasped as he couldn't even see the wound but felt blood dripping down his arm.

Lance strangled a cry as he pushed himself back against the wall with a sob escaping his lips once again.

"Lance?" Lotor heard the cry of pain rather than sorrow.

Lotor frowned and grabbed his sword as he slashed across the locks of the door and the door flung open as he saw lance shaking softly as blood dropped down his tan arm. Lotor looked down as his boot crunched glass as he took a step. There was a shatter case of some cream as well as a shatter glass from a candle.

"Hey hey what happened?" Lotor was at his side as lance was shaking and whimpering.

"Stop stop it!" Lance tried to push him away but his arm hurt to much to actually to succeed.

"It's me," Lotor grabbed his wrist and lance hiccuped a small cry.

"I-I fell," Lance held his arm to his chest and Lotor pursed his lips.

"Hold on, I got you little soldier," Lotor helped him up as lance trembled keeping his eyes closed.

"I fell I fell I swear," lance whispered.

"I know," Lotor nodded as he got lance to his bed and let him sit there.

"The first aid kit is under the sink..." lance sighed holding his arm.

Lotor went back as he looked under and saw the box of medical gear as he brought it back to lance.

"May I?" Lotor asked as his hand hovered over lances arm. The blind paladin nodded and Lotor gently held his arm to steady it as he found a disinfectant liquid as well as gauze.

"Your freakishly good at this," lance stated as he didn't try to move from the stinging pain half way through of Lotor picking glass and cleaning the wounds.

"I've had my own encounters with cleaning wounds," Lotor nodded.

"Why are you helping me? If it wasn't for the alliance we'd be enemies," lance scoffed as he gasped when Lotor took out a larger piece.

"It is my people's fault, and if we were enemies still I don't believe I'd know you exist," Lotor said truthfully.

"So it's pity?" Lance made a face.

"No, it's responsibility," Lotor told him seriously and lance looked ahead at him even if it was only black.

"Thank you then... for caring," Lance gulped a little.

"I'm not as heartless as galra should be, ruthless yes, a warrior yes, but not heartless," Lotor smiled up at lance gently as the paladin smiled a little as well.

Hunk, Pidge and Keith stood outside lances room as they listened while hunk was sent to make sure lance was okay after Allura sent him but the two joined Incase something happened. Pidge clapped silently at it as she looked at hunk as if she mastered a diabolical plan.

Keith pursed his lips as he felt guilty, Lotor said it was his fault and is taking responsibility... it was his own fault, he should've listened to lance, should've had his back. It was his fault and he was completely ignoring the problem.
