Paladins of Voltron: one-shots :)

Lance x Reader :The "Perfect" Patient

"Please (y/n), I don't want it," Lance whines, moving his mouth away from the little cup you held.

"Lance it's going to make you feel better, just drink it," you reply, your patience wearing very thin.

"Noooooo it's gonna taste gross," Lance whines.

"You're being such a baby Lance just take the medicine!"

"You're being mean aren't you here to take care of me." You looked down and Lance's pouting face, he had crossed his arms and stared at you. He was acting like a little kid; he had been all day. And he was getting more and more delirious. And you were trying your best to be patient with him. But that didn't last long

"That's it! Open your mouth McClain!" You lunged forward and Lance yelped, but he was too sick to move out of your grasp. You practically landing on his lap, slightly pinning him to the wall, squished his face and poured the medicine in. After the last drop fell in, you let go and laughed at the disgusted face on your friend as he swallowed the liquid.

"See that wasn't so bad!" you laughed.

"Hmph." Lance sat there with his arms crossed looking mad, but it didn't last long. His frown was replaced with a droopy smile and half-closed eyelids. "You're very pretty," the words slurred out of his mouth and you realized how close you two were sitting. You got up out of his bed, a blush spread to your cheeks, feeling very awkward. Thankfully, the awkwardness was broken as he became frantic.

"Do you think Blue misses me?! *Gasp!* DO YOU THINK BLUE IS SICK WE HAVE TO CHECK ON HIM!" Lance yells and tries to get out of bed

"Lance, Blue can't get sick he's a robot. A giant lion robot," you sighed pushing him back into his bed. You laid him down and made sure he was tucked in tight. "I'm gonna get you some food and water, don't move." You comb his slightly sweaty hair out of his eyes, and he leaned into your touch, eyes closed and hummed happily.

"Thanks (y/n) you're the best," the boy said, his speech starting to slur as he became drowsy. You felt your cheeks heat up slightly again. "Mhmm, alright lover-boy now get some rest."

Lance had gotten sick after a mission. The Paladins helped free another planet that was under Zarkon's control, and a little kid with a slight cold hugged the blue paladin. And then sneezed all over him. By the next day, Lance was stuck in bed with a runny nose, scratchy throat, and lethargy spreading throughout his entire body. And who did the rest of Team Voltron assign to take care of Lance? Well, you of course. You two were like two peas in a pod. It's was no surprise that you followed him onto the Blue Lion into space without hesitation. At school, you started having a small crush on him, but since arriving at the Castle of Lions, it only grew. It was hard though as the Cuban boy seemed to flirt with any living female. He flirted with you too of course, but any meaning of that goes away when he flirts with Allura right after. It still didn't make you stop blushing every time a pickup line escaped his mouth, calling you princess or beautiful. But you knew it was all just some fun and games.

You suspected that the others knew of your little crush on Lance, your best friend from the Garrison. Shiro definitely knew; he'd walked into your room to let you know that everyone was meeting in the control room and found you sniffling. And your suspicion was correct. They could see how your already bright smile got a thousand times brighter when Lance was around, and how you two were never apart for too long. They could see the look of relief on your face when he walked back safe from a mission, and the flustered smiles you give when he would wink at you.

They also saw how Lance felt about you. They saw the extra effort he puts into those god-awful lines he tries with you, and the pleased, successful look on his face when he makes you laugh. They see that every time he tries to annoy you, just by tickling or taking your book away causing you to chase him, was just a rouse to get close to you. They saw every time you guys got back from a mission, he made a beeline to check to see you were ok. They all knew. And they all felt the same about it: annoyed and over it. They just wanted you two to get together already so they don't have to watch you guys make longing eyes at each other anymore.
