Voltron, The Final Battle: Book 1, koi fish river

New yet familliar

She jumped into the balcony and grabbed me by the arms, as we kissed. I didn't care about anything else. I was only focused on Allura. She's back and I didn't know why but I didn't care. She somehow returned but I didn't care how. I was just so satisfied.

A while later, I found myself alone with Allura on the kitchen table. I missed her so much... I didn't care where everyone else was at this moment... All my attention was on Allura. "I missed you lance" She greeted. Those were the first words she spoke after 5 years. She didn't look at me in the eye. She fidgeted with her fingers as the bliss of silence danced amongst us. "Allura... You were all I could think of for the 5 years... Where we're you?" I begged. "5 years fly fast. I waited for 5 decades." She said as she looked at me with her crystal blue eyes. "I was in Valhalla. Where all the previous paladins and their family members go after their life ends." She continued. "Do we go there?" I asked. "I'm afraid not. Humans are too weak to go there. It is a land in a different dimension, above the multiverse. It is the mind of the lions. A human couldn't stand a second in there as it would overpower them." She explained. "So how are you here?" I wondered. "I don't know." She answered, worried. "One day, there was a tare in Valhalla. The tear grew and turned into a black hole that sucked us back into reality." She continued. "Allura I-" "Lance. I need to talk about you... About us." She interrupted. "I love you. You know that. But I don't want you to live like this. I'm not like you. I may leave again and I don't want you to wait for me without moving on. I'm sorry Lance but I love you too much to be with you." She interrupted. I shattered.

She practically destroyed our relationship to save me. I loved her so much but I didn't understand... "Lance this hurts me more than it's hurting you. I already took 5 years off your life-" "So this is why you came." I interrupted. "You came all this way to break up with me." I sighed. As I covered my mouth with my bony fingers. "No lance. I don't know why I'm here, but I want you to be happy." Allura said as her eyes filled with tears, while her hands shook. Her short curry hair fell on her face as she looked down at the table, trying her best to stop crying. "I- I'm sorry Allura. It's fine and I understand." I said slightly louder, as I stood up and walked towards her seat, "No Lance. I can't do it. But I want you to be happy... And I feel so guilty." she said looking at me, while I kneeled down to look at her face to face as she was seated. "No no don't. Why do you feel guilty?" I asked "You never moved on for the last 5 years. I really want you to be happy without me. I want you to be happy." she replied, tears rolling down her cheeks. "It's not your fault I never moved on." I softly replied, realizing that Allura wants me to move on. By standing still on my own, I'm not doing Allura and myself any justice. "It's my fault," I said shaking, as I started crying. Allura grabbed me, as we hugged sobbing.

And just like that... We were over.
