Your POV

So, Keith became our leader... And no offense but we kind of suck. We're all out of order, and nobody is listening to each other. As Pidge said, we're a mess! Keith and Lance won't talk to each other, Keith doesn't want to be leader, he's taking things a little out of hand and constantly leading us into dangerous situations. Nobody wants to listen to him, that's our biggest problem. If everyone can't agree with our leader, then what can we agree on? It's a complete, and utter disaster.

Lance flies the Red Lion now, and Allura flies Blue. She's... Not the best. To say the least.

I lay here, across my bed staring at the ceiling, thinking. That's about all I do now, over think everything. We need to do something about Keith and Lance, or we'll never work well as a team again. Everyone needs to agree, and put aside their pride to listen to him. Some of the stuff he says isn't absolutely crazy.

*Random time skip brought to you by Adam's lovely face.*

"Guys!" I hear Keith call through the headset. "I found him!"

"Shiro?!" I ask, anxiously.

"Yes! Come quick!" He yells.

I fly out to him as quick as I can, only to see the Black Lion floating outside an escape pod.

We both climb out of our lions and get inside the pod, only to find a rough looking Shiro, running out of oxygen.

"Shiro!" I yell. He smiles slightly.

"Let's get him to the castle." Keith says. I help Keith carry him to the black lion, and follow them to the castle. I help them both out of the black lion. Everyone watches as we carry him in.

"Oh my God! Glad he's ok!"
"Me too!"
"He looks like he's had a rough time."
"Yeah, he's going to need to rest."
I hear the scattered conversations of the other paladins. My main focus, is not them though, it's helping Keith keep Shiro from dieing.

We get him to his room. He thanks us for saving him.

"Keith. [Y/N]. Thanks for saving me."

"Of course." Keith says, softly.

I smile. "No problem."

We leave him to rest, and meet the others in the kitchen. I sit between Keith and Pidge like usual. Lance sits by Hunk.

I look to Pidge. "We have to do something about the two of them." I whisper, making sure they don't hear. She nods. I stand up.

"Hey, Lance?" I say, walking over to him.

"Yeah," He says flirty, leaning on the table. I roll my eyes.

"Can we trade seats?" I ask. "I need to uh, ask Hunk something." I lie.

"No way!" He protests.

I grab him by the arm, and forcefully pull him to where I usually sit, forcing him in the chair next to Keith. I nod to Pidge, she nods back, and I go to sit next to Hunk.

"What did you need to ask me?" He asks.

"Nothing, I'm just tired of them arguing and Pidge and I had a plan." I laugh, quietly hoping they don't hear.

"Ooh! Cont me in!" Hunk whispers.

Pidge's POV

"So, uh Keith and Lance..." I stutter. What do I even say at this point?

They look at me confused.

"Oh what the hell," I sigh. "I want you two to talk to each other! And explain to me what is going on between you two!"

Both their faces go red. Keith scoffs.

Lance eventually decides to speak up.
"Ok!" He yells. Everyone snaps their heads towards them. "I'll talk!"

He takes a deep breath. "I'm bi. I'm sure some of you knew. I'm also..." He sighs. "Forget it! I'm bi, and I tried to hide it until now, I was scared that if people found out they'd... They wouldn't look at me the same. So I try and convince people I'm not." He says, starting to look distraught.

"Lance," Allura starts.

"No, forget it!" He snaps, and storms out.

[Y/N] walks over to me. "That did not go as planned, but at least he said something." She says, sounding concerned.

Keith leaves the kitchen quietly, i guess trying to go unnoticed. [Y/N] sits next to me, and we continue eating.

Keith's POV

I walk straight out of the dining hall, trying to go unseen.

God, I just need to-

I hear a distant crying, it's faint but it's there. I follow the source of the noise until I see him. Lance on the floor, leaning against the wall. His face pressed against his knees and his hood pulled over his head.

"Lance?" I ask, softly.

The muffled sobs stop.
"Go away mullet," He mumbles.

"Lance, I-" I start.

"Go away!" He snaps.

"No, I will not Go away!" I start, sitting down next to him. "I want you to tell me what's the matter, and explain why you're so upset." I say, trying to sound comforting.

"You mean... You don't hate me?" He asks.

"No," I let out a small, soft laugh. "Even if I was mad at you, I could never hate you."

He sighs. "Can we go somewhere else?" He asks.

"Yeah sure." I smile.

We walk to his room, and sit on his bed.

He sighs. "Here goes nothing,"

"Take your time." I say, softly wrapping my arm around him.

"So, I was bullied a lot as a child. And my parents, they're... Old fashioned is a nice way of putting it. I love them, don't get me wrong. But, I don't know if they'll love me anymore if they found out. And..." He sighs. "And, from the way everyone in my family talks, I always grew up thinking that wasn't good. I started feeling like I liked guys and girls and made up the 'flirty straight guy' persona to, I don't know, try and forget the fact I'm not straight. And, I've just been really insecure but I pretend to be confident." He explains.

"Lance, if they love you, they'll come around. And if they don't that's their loss. But, you shouldn't be afraid, or hide who you are. Especially when you have people who love you for who you are." I say, reassuringly.

He looks up at me. "Like who?"

I look into his blue eyes. "Like me." I say.

He smiles, and kisses me. And for the first time in the past few months, I'm actually happy.

"I love you too, Keith." He smiles.
