Chapter 27

Lance turned his attention back to the other three. "So...you saw kev...did you see what he...what he did?" He choked on the words, wrapping his arms around himself, trying to disappear.

Keith walked up to him, gently placing his hands at lances arms. "They saw the start...pidge was there. I had to stop it because i...i couldn't keep watching you be hurt like that." Lance hands started to shake, he grippers ⁹Ihis arms even tighter.

"And hunk?" He demanded.

"He came in to get us to eat. When we had it paused on..on you." Keith offered.

"Pidge and I both kinda lost it...seeing you like that.." hunk said softly. "Why didn't you tell us? We..we were friends with that guy for so long. We had him in our dorm so many times after that. If you had said somthing we would have-"

"What? Cut him out of your lives?" Lance said bluntly.

Hunk put a hand behind his head. "Well yeah, we care about you way more that any jerk."

"And is that what you were going to do with shiro?" Lance asked, feeling angry and violated.

Keith tightened his gripnon lance, "yes." He said without hesitation.

Lance ripped himself out of keiths hold. "What do you want from me right now? Do you want me to say thank you? Do you want me to give the go ahead on digging into lotors brain?" The cuban boy spat at them.

"Do you even know how many people I have told about that day?" He said, feeling anger rise in him quickly.

Looking at the way they stared at him dumbstruck he went on, "TWO. I have told TWO people about that day."

His heart only sped up as his voice began to raise. "I didn't want you guys to know because I didn't want you to look at me like that. I didnt want you to know...I didnt want you to EVER know!"

"LANCE!" Allura shouted, grabbing their attention. "You are truly overeating. They didn't have a choice if we wanted to get you back."

"Like you even wanted me back!" Lance shouted back at her.

She crossed her arms, looking annoyed, which only fueled lances fury. "Lance, we don't have to do this with you."

"You dont have to do ANYTHING with me, princess." He snapped back. He turned to the pod and placed his hand on it, releasing lotor. Even though he had been conscious he was still unstable when he got out. Lance grabbed a fistful of his shirt and dragged him out of the room.

Lotor was trying to speak to him but he wasn't listening. He noticed he was stumbling and struggling to keep up with him, but he didnt slow down. He brought him to red, and roughly dragged him inside.

He asked for a place to put him, which red led him to a make-shift cell. It was small but it could hold him.

Lance threw him in, and slammed the door shut. After wards he backed into the wall, sliding down it, quickly losing control of his breathing. He was panicking, in front of lotor, but he couldnt stop.

He dropped his head between his legs, trying to calm down. Red was sending signals of distress for him,most likely calling to keith.

"Stop it red, I don't want to see him right now!" Lamce screamed. He must look absolutely crazy.

She stopped, and after a moment lance calmed down, settling into a numb state.

Lotor looked on in concern as he watched lance have a panic attack.

Lance looked at his exposed torso, the scares he had because of lotor. And he thought of everything he had done to him.

"Hey loturd?" Lance siad, staring at him blankly.
