Under the Radar (Lance x Reader) -Spy AU

Chapter 16

          The next morning was awkward...really awkward. (Y/N) and Lance stood outside of Keith's hotel room door, waiting for him to answer. Keith opened the door. "Hey, co—" he started, but stopped when Lance's fist met his nose.

Keith stumbled back in surprise and held his nose. "Lance!" (Y/N) cried, holding his arm back. Keith glared daggers at Lance. "OW!" he cried. "What the HELL was that for?!"

Lance scowled. "That was for hurting (Y/N) last night! How dare you make her cry!" Keith was fuming. "I made her cry?! That little slut of a partner of yours was the one who started it!" He coughed, trying to catch his breath. (Y/N) felt the tears rise in her eyes. Little slut of a partner? Is that all he sees me as now? Just a discarded play thing? Lance growled as he saw her eyes fill up with tears. Lance wound up his fist to give Keith another blow but held back as (Y/N) pulled him back.

"Lance, cut it out!" she snapped. "Like I told you last night he didn't do anything! He's right...it was my fault, but...can we just focus on the mission? Please..." Lance lowered his fist but kept his angry gaze at Keith. Keith rolled his eyes. "Come in." He said nasally. "But first let me go get some tissues." He emphasized the last word of the sentence angrily and walked inside.

Lance and (Y/N) followed and sat on Keith's bed as they waited for him to clean up the blood from his face. (Y/N) felt as if she was about to cry. Is her body all that Keith wanted from her? He told her last night that he was in love with her but calling her a "slut" made her think otherwise. Did she mean nothing to him?

She looked up at Lance who was staring straight ahead at the wall, angrily. He was subtly waving the hand that punched Keith in the nose. "Lance, you really shouldn't have done that." (Y/N) said softly. Lance didn't respond. He hated Keith use her like that. He obviously didn't love her the way that he did, especially since it seemed like he started to be interested in her after she made advances on him. All those 3 years of them being together, and (Y/N) obviously pining after him wasn't convenient until now. That bastard. Lance thought to himself.

Keith walked out of the bathroom with tissues up his nose. (Y/N) turned around and gave him a sympathetic look, to which he either didn't see or ignored.

"Well." Keith said. "Since I'm not allowed to leave this damn room, we are going to have to devise a plan to find out where this Voltron is...if it's not gone already." Lance turned around. "I know where Voltron is." He stated upfront.

Keith's eyes widened and so did (Y/N)'s. "You do?! Where?!" (Y/N) asked. "I'm not sure of its exact location as of right now, but you bet your ass that it's going to be the main thing given at that dead drop in a few days."

Keith smiled slightly. "That's actually...really insightful." He smirked. "You could be useful yet, McClain." Lance furrowed his brows and turned away. (Y/N) smiled at him. "It's very possible, and it might just be the answer." Lance's sour look immediately melted away as he smiled down at her. Keith just rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Let's just catch up with Allura, Coran, and Shiro."

Keith called Allura and Coran first. They answered on the first ring. "Agents! Are you alright? We haven't heard from you! I expect you to check in once and a—Lieutenant Kogane, what the hell happened to you?!"

At the risk of his team looking like fools in front of the professionals, Keith lied straight to their faces. "Uh...I ran into a door." He fibbed. Coran twirled his mustache. "Oh! Those bastard doors! I run into those countless times my boy." Keith didn't know how to reply to that.

"Anyways." Allura snapped, trying to get the group back on track. She seemed more snippy than usual. "Will one of you like to tell me why the hell you guys haven't contacted us within the past 48 hours or so?!"
