❤️Keith❤️

"I can't tell if he looks better...or not" The remaining Paladins and Allura were standing outside of Lance's pod, waiting for him to Wakeup.

"I think he's breathing weird" Pidge commented.

"Oh, come on!" Keith reached to open the pod, but Allura smacked his hand away.

"Not yet! Just a few more ticks" She glared at the Galra, still uneasy about him.

"How much better do you think he's gonna get in a few more ticks?!" He protested, shooting the princess a glare back. He crossed his arms and looked away.

"And what exactly is a tick?" The smallest Paladin asked, her face inches away from the glass.

"You know, a time slice" The Altean princess replied.

"Like a second?" Shiro spoke from the back of the small crowd, he too looked confused.

"What is a... second?"

Pidge pulled a timer out of her pocket "Like this" She showed it to the Altean.

"I think ticks are longer" Keith commented, Allura nodded.

"Coran, do you have a ticker?" The Princess turned to the male Altean who was checking Lance's status.

He reached into his pocket and pulled one out "Right here princess!" he showed everyone.

"I think ticks are a little slower" Hunk looked between the two.

"I can't tell, we have to start them at the same time" Pidge suggested, looking down at her timer.

"Okay, ready? Go!" Keith walked over as they started the clocks.

"Yes! I think we're winning!" Hunk pumped his fist, smiling.

"Winning what? the intergalactic time-measuring competition?" Keith replied.

"Yes!"

"You guys having a clock party?" Lance's voice caught all of the Paladins off guard, receiving a few gasps.

"Aw, Lance you just ruined it!" Hunk was too distracted to even realize Lance was out of the pod "Hey! Lance!" Hunk smiled and hugged his best friend once realized what was happening.

"What happened?" The blue Paladin was clearly still groggy, but it was starting to wear off.

Allura smiled and put a hand on Lance's shoulder "We can tell you all about it while you get something to eat. Are you able to walk?"

"Talking, Eating?" Lance gave one of his famous smirks "Are you asking me out on a date?"

"Yep, he's back"

"Classic"

💙Lance💙

Lance had changed back into his normal clothes and was now sitting at the dining table, eating.

"You'd be Sendak's prisoner right now if not for Pidge" Allura smiled, watching the Cuban boy eat. (That sounds hella creepy but whatever)

"Well, you wouldn't have survived the explosion if Hunk and Coran hadn't gotten a new crystal." Pidge couldn't take all the credit.

Lance looked at everyone "Wow, thanks everybody" He looked at Keith "Sounds like the mice did more than you though"

"I fought Sendak!"

"Yeah, and I managed to emerge from a coma and shoot his arm off!"

"We had a bonding moment! I cradled you in my arms!"

"Nope,Don't remember, didn't happen" Lance smiled, him and Keith laughed.

They always have been close since they escaped the Galra ship together, they would constantly joke around and have playful fights.

"Well Paladins, I think we should all head to bed, its been a long day" Everyone nodded at Allura's suggestion and went to bed.

Except fore one.

❤️Keith❤️

Keith was lying in his bed trying to sleep when he heard a knock at the door.

"Come it" He called to the unknown knocker.

"Hey Keith, I just wanted to thank you for helping me the other day" Lance smiled as he walked in.

"Oh, uh it was nothing"

"It must have been hard, fighting the guy you used to look up to" Lance sat next to Keith on the bed.

"Yeah... I used to think Zarkon was the good guy, now I see how wrong I was" He looked down and clenched one of his fists.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me; I was wondering how you ended up with the Empire, like were you born into it? You don't have to answer it just came into my head."

"Well..."

The next chapter is going to be a flashback so be prepared for it. I have so many ideas for this story but I have to progress further into the story first. S8 IS GOING TO KILL ME SEND HELP 😂. Till next time,

Stay whelmed!
