Scars of mind and heart (Klance)

Chapter 11

Everything was well until they got new information about a new essence route. This meant that Keith would leave. It was exactly what he feared and by now everyone knows about them being a couple. They all accepted him but there was something going on with Shiro.

"Kai wait." He said softly as taking the males wrist. The thought alone him leaving was not something that he liked. There was also the fact that he was now the red Paladin.

"I need to do this." Keith said with a determined yet sadden look.

"I know but I don't want you to leave." He choked out and it was times like these that he was vulnerable. The only one who he can show who he really is and being vulnerable was with his boyfriend.

"I know but you aren't alone, don't forget this." It was said with a soft expression and a kiss given to him. He kissed back and he feared that he would never see him again. But he would let him go. Because this was his decision.

"O-Okay, just be careful." His voice stayed the same softness and Keith gave him a softer smile with a kiss on his temples.

"I will, see you." It was added before leaving and now he was alone. His gut felt queasy at the thought him dying but he would try his best in trusting Keith, because this was what a good boyfriend does.

He winced as getting yelled at Shiro again. But like always he shut his mouth thinking that he was right. Thinking that he done something bad. It was always like this and he was getting more frustrated as every time he tried to do something good for the team, he ends up getting yelled at by Shiro. Or simply being ignored. This was why he missed Keith.

So that he sulked most of the time in their room. He even wearing the hoodies of Keith just to feel a bit closer to his boyfriend. The worst was he hadn't heard from him at all. This alone made him on edge, and he was rolled together having an internal struggle. There was also the fact that no one was listening to him about Lotor.

Everyone thinks he was good, but he knew the truth and none listened to him about what his oppinion was. It was getting almost impossible to stay there anymore.

"We are falling apart as a team." Lance hissed out and glaring at everyone but like before he was shut down about them not listening. This was the last straw for him and he couldn't bear it any longer. He felt like he wasn't belonging here anymore. 

"You know what, I leave." He said and walking calmly out of the room. He wasn't going to stay with them anymore. No way and he would take red with him, because no one does listen to him. He may as well just stop trying.

Then he left and with his luck he landed on a planet which was inhabited. His eyes stared blankly at the Altean in front of him. He even made it so that red was having his aura around.

"Wait your Altean, b-but how?" He swallowed thickly and staring at the female in front of him. There was nothing said between the two and both just stared at each other.

"Woah you look similar like I do but having no pointy ears and no marks." The female awed and he still had no idea how to grasp this all.

"I am Human so of course I don't look like you do." He said softly and there was another pause from both until they started to chat.

"I want you to meet the others." She said and taking his hands as starting to drag him somewhere. At first, he stiffens at the touch but soon appreciating it.

"Okay why is there a massive statue of Lotor?" He asked in surprise to Romelle who introduced herself. There was something off about this entire situation and he would get to the bottom of this.

"He is our savior and rescued us." Romelle explained soon the story of this place and he folded his arms together not trusting what he heard.

"This sounds fishy." He said and looked at everyone because something told him they are being used. It was apparent that they are seeing him as some kind of god, and this was making him mad.

"I am the red Paladin from Voltron and have rescued many places of the clutches of Galra's. Lotor is using you and I will find evidence." He said firmly. Then he left with Romelle, someone called Luca and the brother of Romelle called Bandor. (He got accepted, by red, after Keith ended up as the black paladin.)

"Okay, I might-" He stopped talking as seeing someone showing himself. He made sure that they were walking in this place and then instantly turning his bayard into a gun.

"Show yourself." He coolly said. Even eyes held no friendliness. There was just no way that he would let the Galra continue using Altean's any longer. But what he wasn't expecting to see what Krolia with Keith.

"Holy shit Kai/ Lancy." He whispered and running over to him and tackling the male into a tight hug. Which the other instantly returned. He couldn't help but feel relieved to finally have his boyfriend back. Next, he gave a hug to Krolia, which she happily returned. They pulled away and he wasn't sure how he could tell him that he had ran away.

"Who are they?" Romelle asked and he turned his head explaining that one was by now a mother figure and the other person was his boyfriend. Both introduced each other. There was also a wolf who instantly rubbed his body on him, and he petted the wolf. It was a cosmic wolf and that was why he wanted him to be named Kosmo.

"Fine we are naming him Kosmo." A huff was coming from Keith as he pleaded many times for him to name him this.

"We are going to the secondary colony. Something is not right and the only place that I can think of is the moon." He explained and Keith hummed thinking for a moment.

(when you write mood instead of moon XD)

"Don't tell me you don't believe me as well." He grumbled out and being fed up with not being taken seriously. Krolia looked at him in surprise at this reaction and Keith was also alarmed.

"Of course I believe you why-"

"No, your clearly not believing me or why else would you not instantly reply." He hissed out and being fed up with people not listening to him. People ignoring his opinion and telling him that he had no choice. It was hurting him a lot and he felt horrible that he snapped at his boyfriend. The male even looked surprised at him. Then everything came crashing down on him and he started to break down.

"Wait you- Okay how about we take deep breathes, my sharpshooter?" Keith instantly reacted and pulling him into his chest. He arms instantly hugging the male back and head buried into the chest and he cried his heart out.

It took a while for him to calm down and then he softly started to explain that he had technically ran away. Keith never looked that pissed off and he fiddled with his fingers. But not just him; everyone else in the group had both a pissed off look and horrified as well.

"We believe you and this is why we are heading to the moon." Luca this time said reassuringly and softly. They then entered the red lion, who gave him a reassuring purr and words on their mind and then going to the moon.

What they found was horrifying and everyone was silent for a moment. This was not what he expected, and he now realized that these people's Quintessence get drained out.

"Oh my god." He whispered as feeling sick to the stomach. The three Altean's were shocked and everyone agreed to get down after he made some photos and video. He wouldn't get back without evidence.

"Let's get down and show this to the Altea's but we need figure out a way to rescue them." Keith firmly stated as going back to the Altean's. Taking the command as a leader.

They started to teach the Alean's to fly and fight back. It had been stressful, and he even had ended up with a call of Allura but ignored her. Until Keith picked up and he sulks and not wanting to talk to her. Yes, he was childish, but can you blame him for it?

They decided to let the Altean's stay on that planet and teach them how to fight. But there was an issue that Allura seemed to ignore the fact what Lotor had done. She wasn't even thinking that he was doing something bad. But he made sure to send over that video footage and pictures.

When she hung up, he still sulked and had his back turned on Keith. No way was he wanting to talk about this. Nor the fact that once again he had been ignored by her. She doesn't even listen to his opinion. It was harsh and harmful for him.

"Lance come on don't ignore me." Keith said softly and he felt a shift on the bed, but he stayed firm where he was. Even after he felt a nudge coming from his boyfriend.

"Alright why are you sulking? Did I do something?" The tone was concerned yet guilty and he couldn't help but feel like the worst person ever. So, he let out a sigh and turning around, curling himself on the side on the half Galra.

"It's not you but the others." He mumbled softly and really feeling shitty. Mentally and physical as well.

"You're a bit warm and who are you talking about?" Keith asked softly and the concern was more. So, he started to explain what had happened and Keith was silent for a moment and he felt like he messed up.

"M'sorry." His voice soft yet apologetic and this seemed to make Keith kiss his head instantly and pulling him into his chest.

"No need to apologize and I will make sure to have a talk with the others when we're going back to castle of lions, alright hon?" It was said softly yet caringly.

Arms hugging back and he melted into the touch as nodding but not saying anything else. They stayed like this and continued to train them. Then they made their way back to the castle and boy was he not wanting this.
