The Purple Paladin ~Lance vs Keith x Reader~

Chapter 12

{ AN: I sincerely apologise about the fact that I have not posted in around 9 months, around that time of the last update I lost motivation to write this story. I have also been bombarded by school work and personal things. I have to get everything sorted before I really come back into writing on Wattpad. But enough said about that. I would also like to thank everyone who has been reading this in my absence. enjoy Chapter 12 }

Our break consisted of us sitting crossed legged on the training room floor with water 'packets'. My mind kept thinking back to my brother, Pidge and I, you could say that we have a similar 'backstory'. Our brothers disappeared and we never really got to say goodbye. Even though Pidge has had leads on hers, I don't even know about mine. Is he alive? Is he dead? Does he even care about his little sister? My thoughts got cloudy once again, it felt like I wasn't with everyone anymore. Their voices become hushed, lower than a quiet whisper or murmur from someone across from you.

"Infiltrate and Exterminate." Was all I heard before I was pulled back into reality by Allura's feeble-minded yelling towards our hardworking group.

"What are you doing lying around?" Here we go again, I roll my eyes. "You're supposed to be training."

"Just resting a bit." Coran answers for us. "You know, can't push too hard."

"What do you mean 'can't push too hard'?" She is seriously getting on my nerves once again. We didn't ask for this, did we? No! "GET UP YOU LAZY LUMPS." Well excuse me, I don't see little miss princess doing shit. "Its time to face the gladiator."

"Wow sounds exciting." I sarcastically speak as I get up and walk towards the princess.

"We have no time for your sassy sarcastic remarks Y/N. Don--" Allura tries to speak in response

"Y/N, Allura. Both of you, just chill. We don't fight each other, we fight together." Hunk interrupts

I inhale. "Let's face the gladiator then." 

Allura huffs and leads us to the room. I linger at the back, walking alone until Keith decides to look back. His walking slows done until he's right next to me.

"Talk to me." 

"About wh--"

"Don't act dumbfounded with me. I know something is up. You're being a tad bit rude towards the princess--"

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to go on a full-on rant about this situation? I didn't ask to be where I am right now. You know after my brother left, I at least had you to fill that void in my heart. But then you left. Then I had Lance, but now everything just getting too much and I've become my own void. I don't know myself anymore. I'm losing my shit and the princess isn't really helping. You know about my past, and she-she reminds me of--"

"Y/N! KEITH! HURRY UP!" Allura yells

Jesus Christ

Keith and I jog to them back to the training room.

Well, the gladiator sucked. Hulk ended up being a scaredy-cat and missed every shot, which got him electrocuted. Pidge was no match, physically wise. Lance seemed preoccupied, which messed up Keith due to Lance's body being slammed straight into him. Shiro had a panic attack again of some sort, where I was nice for once and attempted to help and somehow Keith got body slammed into the both of us.

Allura got mad again. Is that like her occupation now.

"AHOY Young Paladins, I've whipped up a big batch of focusing food. After this meal, you'll be forming Voltron six times a moment and twice on the astral conflux." Is he serious

"Thank Coran, It smells great." Is he serious too? I mean it does smell good but it looks disastrously and horrid. We picked up own cutlery to eat but got handcuffed instead. Just great. I just had to be sitting next to Keith who's sitting next to Lance. At least I had Pidge on my other side. Sounds of confusion filled the air. 

"Hold up.--" Lance tries to argue

"I saw a lot of solid performances today. But you're still struggling to work as a team. So welcome to the final bonding exercise of the day." I can feel Lance tugging on the handcuffs due to the sheer struggle and frustration on Keiths face. 

"Coran, I want you to think about what you're doing." Hunk trying to argue? What?

"Now. now. This one's a classic. You've got to feed each other like a pack of yellmors." And so the real struggle commenced. The dining table becomes a war ground, food was being scattered and thrown everywhere. We had just entered a food fight. And let me tell you, it was actually pretty fun and I felt connected to everyone. I wasn't mad at Allura, nor did her sheer voice annoy me. I felt happy, I felt like a part of a team. But deep down I knew it wouldn't last long. But pushing that thought aside. we commenced outside after been freed and we did it. We formed Voltron.
