The Red Paladin

The training

Keiths POV

Sweat lightly coated my forehead as I fought the training bots with both my swords. It felt so exhilarating to train like this; alone and hard. I'm improving everyday and I am getting better at fighting the bots. One of my swords is swiped from my hands. Oh sh*t.... as the bot swings again I jump on its staff and propel my body towards it to stab it in the head. The training bot fell as a thud echos throught the room before it fades. The sound of one of the doors opening makes my head snap in the direction of the sound. Oh. It's just Lance. "Hey Mullet! Fight me!" Lance stalked his way up to my position. This isn't new. "If you wanna lose a fight than sure." I replied shrugging slightly. Putting away the weapon I turn to lance and walk back up to him. His glare is evident. Allura most have turned him down again. Lance tosses his jacket away and rolls up his sleeves. He used to just get sad. Now he just wants to hit something. I drop into a fighting stance and get ready for him. He, with no warning, charged at me. Don't get me wrong; lance is a much better fighter than he used to be, but when he is angry he is so easy to beat. Dodging his punch I connect my fist with his ribcage. After stumbling the slightest bit he charged back with more fire. Now this? This is new. Usually he doesn't have this much rage. What happened then? Allura couldn't have caused this. While thinking my body moved on its own. I was purely on defense. Swing after swing and kick after kick I dodged. That was until the sword I had lost before found its way under my foot. Oh sh*t! Finally a punch landed in my attempt to stay upright. Thats when I finally landed with Lance looking down at me proudly. Before he could move again the doors slid open again. "YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT LANCE TRIED TODAY!!" my eyes got wide. Yes, Allura complains about Lance all the time to me. Obviously she didn't notice the boy towering over me at the moment. "Allura..." my voice held both worry and warning, but I was cut off. "NO! THIS IDIOT DECIDED TO TRY TO KISS ME TO 'TASTE HUNKS GREAT COOKING.' LIKE BOY!!" (Shhhh go with it) I look up and Lance is red. Either from anger or embarrassment I'm not sure. Allura still complaining while grabbing my discarded jacket and hiding her face in it. This girl is so oblivious.... "Allura... Lance is right here." At those words her rant cut off immediately.
