Lance x reader

Lance got yelled at by a very frustrated Allura and Shiro about an hour ago. Now nobody can find him. You had a hunch he's hiding out in the blue lion. You made sure you could sneak away without anyone spotting you. Everyone was preoccupied with talking about where he could be hiding. It was a perfect opportunity to slip away.

You walked out quietly and hurried to the blue Lion. You realized why nobody thought to check. Blue still had the shield up around it. You sighed and closed your eyes. "Please let me speak with Lance." You asked her. The shield didn't drop. You sighed and closed your eyes, "I know he is in there Blue. Please let me in. Please let me speak with him."

The shield dropped long enough for you to get into the mouth of the lion. You walk in and search for Lance. You knew he was in there, Blue wouldn't have let you in if he wasn't. You couldn't find him. You walk back into the cockpit and turned to the seat and you noticed Lance curled up in a small ball.

You gently bump his shoulder and he sits his head up. His face was still red and blotchy. Tear streaks very visible in his face. He looked absolutely miserable.

He pulled you closer so you could straddle his lap. He tucked his head between your neck and shoulder. "I messed up today, didn't I?" He asked.

"You made a mistake, baby." You said running your hand on his back. "Everyone makes mistakes. You need to learn from these mistakes." He nodded and pulled you tightly against his body.

"Allura and Shiro were so angry with me." He mumbled. "They probably hate me so much. I let them down. I failed. You know what I am?" He asked sitting up to face you, "I am a complete and utter failure." He burst into tears and burried his head back into your shoulder.

Before you two got together you had only really see the happy go lucky Lance. Sure, he was sad sometimes but you didn't see this side of him until 2 months into the relationship. It scared you how often he broke down. He was not the confident guy everyone thought he was. He was anxious, he was super unsure. He tries over and over agin trying trying to do the best he can. Then he starts to think that after every mess up it's over for him. He think he has to try even harder. The next time he fails he takes it even harder.

You tapped his head, "Just smile, I really need to see your smile right now."

He lifted head and gave you a big fake smile. You chuckle and shake your head. "No, Lance. A big real smile. You don't need to destroy yourself over this. Nobody got hurt."

"This time." He hissed. "Next time someone might not have the time to say my ass." He shifted slightly almost bumping you off his lap. "Did you see how angry they were? They hate me."

This was also normal. He thought his friends hated him but were pretending to hate him. It shattered your heart.

"Lance, that is not true. Before I snuck away they had looked for you for over an hour. Hell, they have probably started looking for the both of us. They love you. You need to get out of our head." You said. You stood up and turned away from him. It was hard constantly having to pull himself out of his head time and time again.

"I know you're right." He said and stood up. He scrubbed his face with his hands and I smiled at him.

You two snuck out and made your way to the bathroom and you chilled out on the toilet seat while he cleaned up.
