Lance felt awful. His body ached like he had trained for a month non-stop. His nose felt like a overflowing dam that wouldn't open its floodgates. His throat felt as if it was going to rip open.
His body was like a fan that only blew hot air in the summer.
In other words, he was sick.
"It'll be-*COUGH COUGH*- fine." Lance said. "I'll just explain to the team whats going on."
Lance didn't really believe himself. The team had been incredibly cruel to him these past few months. He doubted they would let him have a day off to heal. But it was worth a try!
Lance trudged into the lounge where everyone was bond to be after breakfast.
"Lance," Shiro looked at him sternly. "You skipped breakfast."
"Yeah, sorry about that." Lance said. "I, um, think I might be sick. Is there anyway I could have a day off to rest and get better?"
"Yeah right," Keith glared. "You're just faking this to get out of training."
"What? No!" Lance said, coughing into his hand.
"We know your tricks Lance." Pidge said.
"No skipping training." Shiro said.
Sadly, because of his illness, Lance didn't do so well in training. he was moving more sluggish, and coughing a lot. Everyone agreed he was taking his sick lie was too far and said he would have extra chores tomorrow.
This went on for two days, until Lance's body couldn't wake itself up....

"Where's Lance?" Hunk asked.
"Probably sleeping in like the lazy butt he is," Keth grumbled.
"I don't know, he said he was sick."
"And you believe him?"
"I'm gonna go wake him up," Hunk stood and left.
Hunk walked into Lance's dark room and turned on the lights.
Lance didn't wake up.
"Lance, wake up..." Hunk cooed from the door.
Lance didn't wake up.
"Lance?" Hunk asked a little louder.
Lance didn't wake up.
"Lance!" Hunk yelled.
Lance didn't wake up.
"LANCE!" Hunk screamed in Lance's ear and shook him.
Lance didn't wake up.
"Oh god oh god!" Hunk panicked. "Why won't you wake up?!"
Hunk put a hand on Lance's forehead, and pulled in back. It was really hot!
"Guys! Come to Lance's room quick! You too Corran!" Hunk cried into the coms.
The others arrived not too fast.
"What took yo so long?!" Hunk cried.
"What's wrong? Its just Lance." Pidge shrugged.
"Well, Lance is burning up and won't wake up!!" Hunk yelled.
Corran burst into the room.
"Sorry I took so long!" Corran said. "Let me see him!"
Corran scanned Lance and gasped. "Quiznack!"
"What?! What is it?!" Hunk asked.
"He has a Altean Fever! Those things are deadly!"
The others gasped.
"This is your fault!" Hunk yelled. "If you had just believed he was sick none of this would have happened!"
"Guys..." Corran whispered. "Lance just stopped breathing..."
THE END
(It was originally gonna end with him getting to a healing pod, but I'm lazy and angsty. LIVE WITH IT)
