Love Hurts

Chapter I

The Paladins have just finished their battle against the Galra Empire. Lance has just gone to his room. Hunk, Pidge, and Keith have all gone to their rooms and have fallen asleep. Shiro is in the training area training for the next battle against the Galra.

Lance's door opens. Allura walks in.

"Hey, Lance?"

Lance looks up from looking at his wrist.

"Yes, Allura?

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I am." Lance said kind of distracted

"Alright. I am just checking on everyone. The only people that are awake are you and Shiro."

"Okay."

Allura started to walk away.

"Hey, Allura?"

"Yes Lance?"

"Will the Galra ever stop with these attacks, I mean the universe has almost gone out of existence thanks to Lotor. We can't keep getting this close to losing the Universe as we did that one time.

"Lance, I know many things, but I am not really sure about that. The entire Galra empire has been in power for over 10,000 years. I seriously do not know Lance." Allura said solemnly

"Oh, okay. Good night, Allura." Lance said sadly.

"Good Night, Lance." Allura then walked out and away

---*Lance POV*---

My hand hurts immensely. One of the Galran Troops shot me in the wrist with their guns. I managed to keep fighting without showing my pain. I decided to go to the Medical Bay of the castle and while I was heading there I saw Shiro. He was heading back from training. I saw him yet he did not see me. I made it to the Medical Bay and was looking for wound care. I found some Altean Healing Bandages. I grabbed just enough to wrap around my wrist. I put the bandages on while I was walking back to my room.

Once I made it to my room I saw a small note on my bed. I picked it and read it.

Hey. I saw you heading to the medical bay and just wanted to ask if your ok.

-Shiro :)

I sit on my bed and wonder if I should write him back. I eventually decide to write a response

Yeah. I'm perfectly fine. I just got shot in the wrist by a Galran Troop. No Biggie.

-Lance

I go to his room and slip the note under his door. I run frantically back to my room but unfortunatly, I hear his door open and he calls my name. I turn around and smile nervously.

He walks towards me and lifts my hand wrist up and I wince at the pain. He examines it. He then looks at me.

"Really? A Galran shot to the wrist?" He asks with a smirk.

"Yes. It hurts." I say

"Are these Altean healing bandages?" He asks with his smirk going to a smile.

"Yes. How can you tell?"

"I got a nice cut on the side of my arm and I needed to use them."

"Oh." I look at his hand on my wrist then I look at him. He also looks at me.

"Well, are you going to be alright?" He asks.
