It was warm- like really warm. That was the first thing that Lance thought of when he began waking up. It wasn't unbearable, just odd. Usually the castle is chilly so waking up meant waking to be a bit cold. So, it confused him when he was warm and slowly opened his eyes. 

At first, everything seemed normal. It looked like his room but upon closer inspection it was different. He had things hanging on his ceiling and walls-- there was nothing hanging except for a jacket and what Lance thought to be a vest. Then, he realized that jacket belonged to Keith and the vest would be Shiro's. 

Lance startled when he felt something move on his waist. His breath hitched when he looked behind him and saw Keith spooning him. That's when he realized something under his head was moving up and down at a steady rate and looked over to see he was laying on Shiro's chest. He let out a squeak (that he would forever deny) and jumped up and scrambled to a sitting position, making Keith grumble and roll over so his back was facing Lance and Shiro.

How did he get there? Why was he laying in the middle of these two? He blushed and looked down, letting out a sigh of relief when he saw everyone still had on clothes. It was highly unlikely that they had sex but he had to make sure, seeing how he doesn't remember getting in bed with Keith or Shiro at all. He tried remembering what happened but only remembers the terrible horrible pain he got after leaving Shiro and Keith.

What ever the case, he had to get out now before they wake up. He waited a tick to make sure the two were still asleep and slowly, stiffly brought his leg over Keith's body and just when he was about to lean over to get away, Keith shifted onto his back, which unbalanced Lance, so he fell forward onto Keith's chest with a soft 'oof'. He froze when he heard a groan under him and cautiously looked up to see piercing violets staring at him through slits of eyelids. Lance quickly tried to lift himself up and off of him, apologizing profusely.

"I'm so, so, so sorry! I-I didn't mean to! I'm sorry! Oh, god, I swear I didn't mean to- to straddle you! I was just trying to- oh, jeez. I'm so sorry!" He yelped when Keith wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him down, so he's flush up against his chest, then rolled over so Lance was in the middle of him and Shiro again. "Keith!"

"Shh. S'too early," he mumbled into his hair. Lance felt his heart race but willed it to calm down when he realized Keith must have thought he was Shiro and pushed against his chest.

"Keith. Keith! I'm not Shiro!"

"Shiro," Keith whined.

"I'm not Shiro!"

"Shiro," he grumbled again, getting a grunt from said person. "Make him shut up."

Lance froze at those words. So they know he's laying between them? "Wha-?" He was stopped when a hand went over his mouth and Shiro shifted closer to him.

"Hush, Lance. He's grumpy in the mornings," he whispered in his ear and Lance had to suppress a shiver. Holy mother of-  He was laying between the two of the hottest people he has ever seen and they know he's there!

When the hand left his mouth and fell down to rest over him, he let out a breath he hadn't even realized he was holding. He reached up to nervously run a hand through his hand when he felt something twitch under his hand. He gently felt it and gasped when he felt something soft then realized he could feel where he was touching the fuzzy thing. He reached both hands up and almost gasped again when it finally donned on him that they were cat ears-- his cat ears.

He didn't want any more changes to his body. Different teeth, eyes, and getting a tail was good enough for him but now he has cat ears in replacement of his human ears. He didn't want any more changes. What if he ends up turning full cat? He couldn't have that! He couldn't because then he wouldn't be able to pilot Blue and then they wouldn't be able to form Voltron and then they won't be able to win any of the big fights and then the Galra will defeat them and then they would take control over the entire universe. He shook his head to get rid of those thoughts and tried taking in a breath but panicked when he couldn't inhale properly and tried again but the same thing happened. Oh, god, was he having a panic attack? He was having a panic attack.
