Hiding Behind a Mask

Chapter 39- Makes me Wish

Lance came home happily, Sarah runs up with a similar pleasent smile.

"Lance Lance!"

"What sweetie?" He asks.

"Sam's better again." She said. "His breathing in normal again!"

"Oh that's great!" Lance says happily, he grabs the baby monitor. "Hey Samuel how you goin?"

"Get me out of this bed." He shouts back. Sarah took the monitor from Lance.

"No Sam, you've gotta stay in bed. Doctor's orders."

"I keep telling you, you are not a doctor Sarah!" Sam sounded so done. Sarah giggles and looks at Lance. He just rolls his eyes and sat on the couch. He noticed Rico curled up on the chair.

" Oh pobre bebé. " Lance picks his brother up. "I'm taking Rico upstairs, you should get to bed too."

"Aw really?" She whines.

"Yes." He said. "Go to bed." Lance walked to the stairs when a knock came at the door. Lance hands Rico to Sarah. "Upstairs with you."

"Awww." She pouts and walks up. Lance watched as Sarah walked up, carrying her brother. Lance walks towards the door and opens it. Keith pokes his head in.

"Hello."

"What is it Keith?"

"Can I not come over?" He asks. They heard something run down the stairs.

"Princess!" Sarah runs over and hugs Keith, Keith happily returns it. Lance gave his sister a look.

"Sarah, what did I say?"

"I don't wanna go upstairs!"

"I said go to bed."

"No!" She clings to Keith. "Princess is here."

"You see Princess every freaking day!" Lance points out. Keith smiles and got on Sarah's level.

"I'll hang out with you tomorrow, okay?"

"Why not now?"

"Cause a certain meanie is telling you to go to bed."

"Who you calling a meanie?"

"I promise to hang out with you tomorrow."

"Promise?"

"Yes." Keith nods. "But only if you go to bed now."

"Okay." She walks upstairs. Lance glares at Keith.

"A meanie. What are you, five?"

"I was talking to a child. I couldn't call you a fucking dick."

"She's heard worse." Lance said. "So what are you doing here? You want something or are you hiding fro- You're hiding from Shiro aren't you."

"Yeah." Keith nods. "Allura told him everything that happened. He keeps bugging me about the make out incident, I don't want to hear what he has to say now." Keith said looking annoyed. "Hey if that guy ever makes you uncomfortable then come to me, okay?"

"Really?" Lance asks.

"Yes, if you really want to get away from Lotor then come to me. He thinks we're dating now so..."

"He doesn't care."

"Too damn bad." Keith said. Lance actually chuckles at that. Keith really hates this guy and doesn't want him near Lance. Keith leans against Lance's shoulder smiling at him. "Can I get my thanks now?" He asks, Lance pushes him.
