The Son of Zarkon

Changed

Lance's P.O.V.

Walking down the hall I stop when I hear a slightly raised voice coming from Keith's room. Being the nosy Latino that I am, I carefully bring my ear near the door to listen. "I’m sorry I didn’t mean to snap at you. But I don’t want to stop doing missions. It isn’t hurting me, and I don’t want to stop helping people."

Hearing this I can't help frown in worry and confusion as it sounds like Shiro is comforting Keith. 'Why would Keith need to stop doing missions? What could be wrong? Could he be leaving the team? Is he sick or hurt?'

Focusing back in, I try to see if I can hear any more of their conversation. Instead, I hear some moving and shuffling around. Worried that they are probably about to leave the room I pull away from the door. Hurrying down the hallway I slow down a bit when I enter the lounge area. Jumping over the back of the sofa I end up making Pidge squeak in surprise when I land on the sofa. "Lance?!"

"What?"

I give her a smile as she rolls her eyes at me and goes back to the video she had been watching. After a few minutes I perk up when I hear footsteps and voices. Looking down the hallway I had just come from I saw Shiro and Allura first. The pair both seemed to have a lot on their mind right now. Which made me concerned as they didn't seem this deep in thought till they talked to Keith. Kolivan follows after them and glances back. Where Keith and Regris were right behind him as they talked to each other. The two have gotten very close over the time. Which does make a twinge of jealousy fill my heart. Pidge clears her throat pulling my attention away from them as she whispers to me. "You are staring."

Realizing this I try not to blush deeply as I try to hide my face from Keith's view. Though I can't help, but glance back when I hear a familiar sounding yawn. Looking over I see Keith stretch out as he lets out another yawn. Which is when Regris' tail flickers out and smacks Keith in the side. Keith doesn't seem fazed by this as he just looks over at Regris. The two seemed to be having a whole conversation with just a look. Keith huffs at him, his nose scrunches up as an actual growl leaves him. Surprising me as Keith has never growled before, but the reptilian Galra only chuckles as if this is normal. Looking over at Shiro and Allura I notice them sharing a glance before looking at Kolivan. 'Since when did Keith start growling?'

"Alright Alright you two play nice. You two are acting like a bunch of cubs."

Though trying to be stern Kolivan's voice seems surprisingly soft for the normally harsh and strict Galra. Grinning Regris playfully whacks Keith again with his tail as if to say, 'Yeah Keith.'

This makes Keith elbow him back in the side as if telling him to shut up. "Okay that's it."

Grabbing Keith by the back of his armor Kolivan easily throws Keith over his shoulder. While he also does the same to Regris with surprising ease. "Alright training room till you two can behave."

Keith grumbles as he starts to struggle against Kolivan's hold a bit. "Kolivan let us go. We just got in here."

Seeing this everyone can't help, but chuckle though my jealousy can't help, but grow a bit more. As he just seems, so close to Kolivan and Regris. Closer than he has ever been to any of us or at least that is how it looks. "No, we are going to the training room since you two insist on acting like children. You two should have thought about that before you started acting like a pair of cubs again."

"I can at least walk there myself. We both can."

"Not without getting into a tussle you two can't."
