Thank You, Universe

First fight

"Can you just stop! It's not a big deal so stop making it one!" I raise my voice at my partner. "It is a big deal and if you'd listen to me for once you would realize why? But nooo! You never even try to listen to what I have to say!" Lance yells back at me. "That is not true and you know it! I always listen to you!" "If that's true then will you wait one damn second and hear me out?!" "No! All you're going to say is nonsense so it's not even worth listening to! Goodbye!" I started walking towards the exit of the training room.

"Dammit Keith!" I flinch and stop moving as Lance hits the wall. "This isn't healthy! You need to stop pushing yourself so much!" I turn around and glare at him. "I am not weak! And I do not need your pity. Just because I have a few set backs does not mean I can't train Lance!" I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms. "You are so infuriating! I never said you were weak and I sure as hell do not pity you! You're my boyfriend, this is me worrying about you! But you're too stubborn to see it!" He screamed at me.

"Just stop! I'm allowed to train! I'll survive! We're fighting a war right now! I need to be at my a-game!" I tried to reason starting to get even louder. I'm sure that the rest of them could hear us. "You can't be at your a-game if your muscles are sore and you can't breath because you're training too much with your damn binder on!" "Oh my god will you just shut up?! I don't care! I'm going to train whether you like it or not because you can't control me! Go cry to your mommy about it or something!" Lance stared at me a flash of hurt crossed his eyes.

"What is wrong with you?! I'm just trying to help! To be a good boyfriend! You're so insensitive! You know how much I miss my family but of course you bring them into this, when they don't even have anything to do with this!" "If I'm so insensitive- if I'm such a bad person then just break up with me and be done with me!" I screamed at him, louder than before.

"That's what you want right?! To be rid of me? A burden? Then go ahead! B-Break up with me." My voice cracked as I cried. "No Keith- I'm not- I'm sorry. Listen-" "I'm gonna go. I just- I just can't right now." I speed walked out of the training deck, passing the whole team as I did so. I could hear them calling out to me, but I just kept on running.

I ran all the way to Red, quickly making my way inside her. I sat down on her pilot seat, asking her to put up the barrier so no one could get in. As soon as I was sure I was alone I broke down, sobbing into my arms. I brought my legs up to my chest, my arms sitting atop them.

'Cub? Are you... okay?' I heard Red communicate to me. I shook my head and cried even harder. She started sending me purrs, her way of comforting me. It did help a bit honestly.

After a while I had calmed down and started talking to Red, explaining to her what had happened. 'You know I agree with him right? You shouldn't be over exerting yourself. I think you need to apologize.' "You're probably right," I sighed rubbing my face. "What am I going to do."

*Lance POV*

As soon as Keith ran out of the room my tears started streaming uncontrollably. The team walked into the room, worried looks littering their normally happy faces. A sob wracked my body as Hunk walked over to me, pulling me into a hug. "Oh buddy," I hugged him tighter, trying to find any kind of comfort.

Shiro shooed the rest of them out, leaving Hunk, him, and I. Eventually I had calmed down, my sobs turning into sniffles. "Can you tell me what happened?" I looked at Hunk, he seemed to get the hint letting me go. "I'm gonna go talk to Pidge, see ya later guys." Shiro nodded to him as he left.
