Voltron One Shots/Preferences

Coming Out - Lance

You and Lance had been dating for a couple months now, the two of you being acquainted through your mutual friend, Hunk. He was the perfect boyfriend and always treated you like a princess. You two were practically inseparable and could tell each other anything. Well, there was one thing that you had been keeping from him. You still hadn't told him that you're bisexual.

It's not like you didn't trust him, or didn't think he'd accept you, it was just a nerve wracking event overall. Though it was slim, there was always the possibility of rejection. The possibility of him being disgusted by who you truly were. The possibility that he'd leave you when he found out. These thoughts were simply manifestations of your insecurities, though, not projections of Lance's real beliefs, so there was still hope.

The terrifying thoughts probably stemmed from your very conservative upbringing. Being surrounded by parents who wouldn't accept you if you decided to come out really took a toll on your self-confidence. You constantly worried that your sexuality wasn't valid, that it was a phase like everyone said. You couldn't truly be yourself around anyone in your life. It was hard keeping all of these thoughts to yourself, especially when they were eating away at you every night.

You needed to talk to someone. Someone you could trust, and that person was Lance. He was always there for you and supported you no matter what. You decided it was time to tell him and hoped desperately for his acceptance. You had it all planned out in your head, including every possible reaction that he could give.

With shaking fingers, you typed Lance's number into your phone and nervously pressed the call button. After about two rings, the line clicked and you were greeted by a familiar voice, "Hey baby, what's up?" You took a deep breath and replied, asking if he could come over for a little bit so the two of you could talk. He answered back with a hesitant yes, beginning to worry that he had done something wrong.

Your heart was beating intensely as you sat within your empty house, awaiting the arrival of your boyfriend. You had purposefully chosen to do this at a time when your parents wouldn't be home to avoid them overhearing any of the conversation.

Your thoughts were interrupted by a series of quick knocks at your door. Your breath hitched as you stood up and walked towards the door, knowing very well who was on the other side of it. Your hand turned the knob with caution, revealing Lance's face. He looked nervous and trepidly asked you what you wanted to talk about.

You led him inside without saying a word and you both sat down on the couch, angled so that you were facing each other. You looked down at your lap and fiddled with your fingers, the sweat on your palms gradually building. The silence was deafening, making you wonder if Lance could hear your heart beating out of your chest.

Little did you know, he was tied up in his own mind, frantically worrying about what he had done wrong or if you were about to break up with him. Insecure fears circled around each of your heads as you both sat in an uncomfortable silence, hoping for the other to say something, anything.

Finally, you mustered up all of your courage and croaked out his name, "L-Lance."

He met your eyes, but stayed quiet, waiting for you to continue.

"I don't want this to change the way you see me because I'm still the same me that I've always been, and this doesn't change anything about our relationship either. I still love you and want to be with you, but I just need you to know that," you paused, gathering one last surge of courage, "I'm bisexual."

Your breath hitched as you realized you actually just came out to your boyfriend. You watched his face, desperate to see any hint of a reaction, but were surprised to see him start chuckling. This soon turned into a deeper laughter, causing your heart to sink. 

Out of all the possible reactions you had thought up in your head, never did you expect him to ridicule you by laughing right in your face. Tears welled up in your eyes and you looked back down to your lap, feeling dejected. When Lance saw this, though, his demeanor quickly shifted into one of comfort.

"Baby, no no no don't start crying!" He said, reaching a hand up to caress your face.

A tear slowly made its way down your cheek, but his thumb was there to wipe it away before it could fall.

"I wasn't making fun of you, Y/N, I was only laughing because I thought you were about to dump me and was so relieved to hear that wasn't the case. And to tell you the truth, I also started laughing because guess what?" Lance relayed sincerely.

"What?" you asked between sniffles.

"I'm bisexual too!" He announced, much to your surprise. "I was just waiting for the right moment to tell you, but it never seemed to come up, so I'm really glad and so proud of you for coming out to me today!" he chuckled again and flashed you a bright smile.

Your mouth was left agape and more tears began to well in your eyes, though this time they were happy tears, not sad ones. You lunged toward him and engulfed him into a big hug, planting a kiss on his cheek as you both giggled and relished in your newfound commonality. The two of you spent the rest of the day exchanging stories about when you realized you were bi and who your favorite celebrity crushes were. It was the most perfect reaction you could have ever hoped for and you felt so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend.

Hey everyone! I know it's been forever, but a lot has happened since I last uploaded. This one shot is really personal for me, cause if you haven't figured it out... I'm bisexual and I'm extremely proud of who I am! If any of you don't feel safe or need someone to talk to, I'm always here so feel free to message me <3 

Unfortunately, this will be my last update to this book. I still love Voltron, but it's been a while since it last aired and a lot of my current interests have shifted. I also just haven't been that active on Wattpad recently and don't see myself going on it too frequently in the future. I really appreciate all the love and support I've received with this book, though, thank you all so much! And happy pride month!!
