Forget all at the shooting stars and all the silver moons

Chapter 5

Just to let you all know that the Fanart IS NOT MINE. I do not own any of the Fanart and if you know the artist I'd greatly appreciate if you'd let me know to give them credit. Thanks.

Lance was laying alone on his bed. He was collecting his thoughts trying to remember what he was thinking. Was it something about Doritos? How Pikachu is probably the coolest Pokémon? Or was it something about Overwatch?

Lance didn't know. He wasn't thinking straight. Well he never thought straight he was bisexual. But he couldn't focus.

Pidge walked in and saw Lance daydreaming like always.

"Lance?"

Lance's thought process stopped and finally acknowledged Pidges presence.

"Uhhh yeah?"

"What are you doing?"

"Thinking."

"About?"

"I don't know. What was I doing just now?"

"Uhhhh laying down?"

"Huh."

"Lance what the hell is going on. You've been acting like this for a long ass time. Ever since-."

She stopped mid sentence realizing something. Lance looked at her hoping she had figured it out by now.

"Since...... Keith left."

Lance didn't look at her. He was now facing the wall burying his head on the pillow.  He felt embarrassed and he could feel his cheeks turning pink.

"Lance do you...........still have feelings for Keith?"

He nodded.

"You said you were over it."

"I though I was too."

"Why? Or how?"

"It's stupid."

"No tell me."

"I really don't want to talk about it."

"Lance please?"

Lance sighed.

"Fine. The night of the mission before Keith  left, me and him were cornered. I was bleeding out and there was just no escape. I was crying because I was in absolute pain and terrified. Keith sat me down and......he" Lance started to tear up, his voice cracked "he told me that everything was going to be okay. That he would always keep me safe and he wasn't going to let me out there to die."

Lance remembered it like it was yesterday.

"Lance." Keith shook him gently.

"Your alright. okay? just hold on."

"I was so weak Pidge that i begged him to save himself but he didn't."

"Im not leaving you. Look at me Lance. Im here. I'm not leaving your side. I'll always be here for you. Your my sharpshooter remember?"

"When we made it out the first thing I saw was him. He held me with tears in his eyes. He was so happy to see me and....I was holding on to his hand. I really hoped that after everything was over he'd be my future. It's because of him that I would even have a future. He saved my life. I just keep thinking of what could have been."

"Lance you can't keep doing this. Keith's been gone for almost two years. In all that time we haven't heard a single word from him."

"You think I don't know that? Of course I do. That's why I'm so pissed off. He promised to be there for me and he just walked out on me. He left with no fucking explanation to why. I know I act like a confident moron all the time but I'm actually so insecure. I'm insecure about myself. I never feel like I'm good enough. I'm afraid of abandonment. And thats what Keith did. He just...left me."

Pidge stopped to look at Lance. She could tell how lost he was without him. She wanted to help but she didn't know how to. So she just did what she always knew what to do.

"Mario Kart?"

Lance snapped back into his normal personality.

"Really Pidge? I just poured my heart out to you and you want to play Mario Kart?"

"Yes?"

Lance sighed.

"Fine but I get to be Yoshi."

Keith was piloting a spaceship finishing up a mission for the Blade of Marmora. He hadn't went alone on this mission. He was with Acxa who went on the mission with him.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"I don't know what you mean?"

"Well The Blade of Marmora really doesn't need you anymore and you can leave if you want to."

"Who says that I want to leave?"

"I think you should Keith. Maybe you can go back to that hot Cuban boy you always talk about."

Keith laughed.

"He's the reason I left. Why would I go back?"

"Don't you miss your team?"

Keith thought about it. He had so many times. Going back to Voltron. Seeing Pidge, Hunk, Allura, Shiro, Lance, Coran, and the mice again. It all sounded perfect except that he couldn't. He couldn't come back. Not after how he left things.

"Of course I miss them Acxa but I don't think I could go back. Plus if I have to see Lance with Allura I'll go crazy."

"What if I went with you?"

"Come on Acxa you'd hate it. Your not really the social type."

"No really I mean it. You'd get to see your team again."

"What about Lance. It'd be so pathetic for him to see me as the same loner Keith he knows."

"Well what if I pretended to be your fake girlfriend?"

Keith thought about it. It really wouldn't make Lance jealous but at least he wouldn't have to face him alone.

"I mean I guess? No this is stupid. What would I even say? I never even bothered talking to them In all this time. Do you really think they'd just take me back like that?"

"Well if what you've told me is true, then I'm sure they would. They really seem to love you."

"Fine but if this fires back in going to kill you for convincing me to do this."

"Fair enough."

"PIDGE HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SO GOOD AT THIS?"

"YEARS OF TRAINING."

Hunk came rushing in the room making a loud noise when opening the door.

Lance was startled by the loud noise but refused to pause the game. He was so close to beating Pidge for once.

" GUYS GUYS I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING."

"Hunk can this wait?"

"KEITH JUST CALLED. HES ON HIS WAY."

"WHAT?!!!!" Lance screamed driving his Yoshi character off a cliff by accident and dropping the controller on the floor.

"IDIOT." Screamed Pidge, standing up and starting to whack him with her controller.

"THATS MY ONLY TWO FUCKING WII CONTROLLERS YOU BITCH."

"PIDGE STOOOOP."

She didn't. She kept whacking him for a good twenty minutes.
