Lances POV
At first it was fine. I would wander at night helping the paladins, there was no problem with it. Pidge let my borrow her earbuds and MP3 player so it was never quite. And even without it there was always some random sound in the castle, random drones or bots, machines whirring, noise of hunk snoring. So even without the ear buds I was fine. Plus I was never alone. Always aware that there was Keith or hunk or Pidge or Shiro around. But as the Galra started to retreat they went out with their new space friends at night more. Hunk was with that girl he met on a planet we saved or whatever, Shiro was with Pidge teaching her things about the galaxy and space dad stuff. Even Allura went out with her space friend and of course Coran went with her. Keith left to to go buy some exotic knifes or something. I was all alone. At night everyone was gone now. I would wander the castle halls hoping that there was at least some noise somewhere but for some reason it seemed like Coran decided to turn the usual machines off since I was the only person in the castle.
I guess Pidge took her earbuds with her because I couldn't find them in my room or hers.
I had never noticed how much I hated silence.
I never noticed how it chipped away at my sanity. God forbid I ask anyone to stay behind for me, that would be way to embarrassing.
-el time skip brought to you by my huge glasses-
Another night alone, I'm 90% that everyone is gone from the castle again and I'm still just here all alone.
All
Alone
The bad thoughts are really starting to take over here. During breakfast I dropped my plate on the ground and it broke and everyone got annoyed and called me names...I cleaned up and just went to my room so I wasn't bothering them anymore. Now I'm all alone again and it's my fault. I don't know how it is but have no one to blame but myself. I walk over to the Star room, the one that's like a dome of just glass, and lay in the middle of it, staring up, wondering if the stars would treat me the same way my fami- teammates...do. Out of no where I realize that I'm crying. And since I'm alone I can let it all out and sob as much as I want. I start to scream out different things about what I hate about me and what others hate about me. I scream why. Why do they hate me? Why don't I matter? Why am I here still? Once I'm done my voice is raw and I can barely get out a whisper. Then I hear something.
A laugh maybe?
No...a sob..who the hell is in here? And...how much did they hear?
~~~nobody's POV~~~
Lance got up and went down the hall, following the faint sobs that he heard. He stopped at every door, checking to see which room the sobs were coming from. He stopped at Keith's door and knocked, praying that he was just hearing things.
The door opened. And when he looked in he saw a crying Keith. The red paladin looked up at lance, eyes red and swollen and lurched at him, hugging him tightly
"Lance...why didn't you tell anyone you felt this way..?" he kept sobbing as he clung to lance. The blue boy just stood there, not sure about how to react to Keith hugging him. He hadn't meant for anyone to know any of what he was feeling, especially the angsty boi keith. Lance hugged him back and started to break down again. He and keith hugged for a long while before they fell asleep. Keith stayed back every night to be with lance. He started treating lance better and once he started to, everyone else followed in suit. 

Lance no longer had to fear silence.
