Listen, I'll always be a Klance(Keith/Lance)shipper, OTP through and Through. And Lancelot(Lance/Lotor)? AH! So good, second best! And Shklance(Shiro/Keith/Lance) will always be my fav OT3.
But gosh darn it, I'm a SUCKER for Shance(Shiro/Lance)!! So when I saw this:
I was hooked like a fish.
Note: Probably takes place somewhere in the first season(WOW FLASHBACKS LMAOOOO)
OK LETS GOOOO!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shiro had a crush on Lance. Lance was sure of it.
"I think you're reading too much into it," Hunk would say.
"Your delusional...and desperate." Pidge would scoff.
"Don't fuck my brother." Keith would hiss.
And Lance had considered it of course. Maybe he was just really desperate? Maybe he was seeing things that weren't there? Lance would never want to jump to conclusions on something like this. Shiro was his friend, his hero! But most importantly Shiro was his leader. And he was a good one too, would never compromise Voltron by dating someone he was supposed to order around. Plus, there's no way someone like Shiro would ever fall in love with someone like Lance.
Yet, Lance could see things that made him think otherwise. The way Shiro would scold him for flirting didn't feel like it was motivated by professionalism. Lance would throw a line at Alurra, of course she would just roll her eyes. Shiro wouldn't say "Lance, focus on the mission. ". Instead Shiro would say "Lance, eyes on me...I'm explaining the mission right now." That small pause in between tipped Lance off that he didn't scold Lance for professionalism. The language used, the small blush, the pause? He scolded Lance out of jealousy. And it happened a lot, so it couldn't just be a coincidence!
That wasn't all. Shiro would come up to Lance each time after training, and ask him for help with his aim. Shiro did not use a gun of any-kind. But he would claim Lance had good aim as their sharpshooter, and that he wanted to learn how to use a gun. In case something happened to his Galra arm while the Black Paladin Bayard was still lost. Lance was happy to oblige. He would spend at least an extra hour each day in the training room with Shiro, and he would slowly improve. But one day, he spotted Shiro gun training on his own. He was hitting every target perfectly, better than Lance had ever seen him. Lance facepalmed to himself. Of course Shiro would know how to use a gun, he worked for the Garrison for god's sake! Lance felt like an idiot, Shiro was probably playing a joke on him with all this...But Shiro wasn't the kind of person to do something like that. So why else would he lie about his skills unless....he wanted to spend more time with Lance!
Lance just knew Shiro had to have a crush on him. And boy, was Lance all for it! Someone as handsome and strong as Shiro? How could he refuse?

It was around the end of a debriefing meeting when things went a bit wrong. Everything was normal! Pidge was being a smartass, Keith was brooding, Hunk was actually Listening, and Lance was fliritng a bit with Alurra; all while Shiro explained the mission details.
"Does everyone understand?" Shiro asked.
The team voiced their agreement, except for Keith who grumbled a bit.
"I still don't see why I can't just go in a take them out." Keith said.
"Because its not safe." Shiro insisted. "Keith you will not engage any enemies, do you understand?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. Does everyone else understand?"
"Yup," Pidge said.
Hunk hummed and nodded.
Lance chuckled and smirked. "In the words of Keith over there, Yes Sir~"
It had come out so smooth a seductive, Lance's eyes lidded and lips wet from his lounge. And directed exactly at Shiro. Lance didn't realize what he had done! Crap it just slipped out! Well, no going back now, he had to run with it!
Shiro's face lit up completely red. He stood still blushing heavily for a movement, before hiding his face in his hands. Pidge was laughing wildly and Hunk shook his head in second-hand embarrassment.
Keith stood up sputtering.
"Lance!" Keith scolded. "What the hell?!"
"Oh, when Keith calls Shiro sir its professional. But when I do it--"
"You know exactly what you just did!"
"What are you talking about?" Lance scoffed.
Keith just pointed at Shiro, who was flustered and bluhsing in the corner. How had he ended up there? No matter, Lance was stuck with that point. Lance began to blush a bit too, but didn't let it show too much
"Heh, Sorry Shiro." Lance spoke up, approaching Shiro's flustered frame. "It just kinda slipped out!" he tried to laugh it off.
Shiro didn't show his face from his hands. He was still bluhsing, but now he looked....distressed.
Lance's stomach sank. He thought Shiro liked him, and that he was just flustered a normal amount! But it seemed he had made Shiro...uncomfortable. Lance would never want to do that! He really did read into it all wrong. Shiro didn't have a crush on him! God why would he? Lance was Lance--Playboy goofball who apparently can't take a hint.
"Uhm..I-I'm sorry." Lance said. "Won't happen again." He gave Shiro an awkward pat on the back and left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lance only saw Shiro and the rest of the team again when it was time for the mission. He was having trouble keeping his lighthearted goofball act up right now, but he was managing. It was a quick infiltration method, with Shiro, Pidge, and Lance inside the ship while Hunk and Keith stayed in their lions as backup if needed. Shiro ha switched himself out for Keith, not trusting Keith to keep his temper in check. So great, now Lance had to be in the ship with Shiro. Could this get any worse?
Apparently it could because they were caught and now under heavy fire. Pidge had done what she needed to do with her hacking and tech skills, and they were now covering her as they ran back to the Lions. Shiro used his shield to cover Pidge while Lance was on the offensive shooting at the enemy. Shiro got Pidge to her Lion, and Lance and Shiro were about to split up their own when Lance was hit.
Lance stumbled to the ground, leg bleeding. Lance kept his gun raised, but he was about to be killed i seconds flat.
"Lance!" Shiro cried out. He dove in just in time to activated his shield in front of Lance. "Lance. are you ok?!"
Lance weakly nodded. He held out his bayward to Shiro. "Trade! Use the gun and take them out! I'll activate my sheild now."
"What? No!" Shiro gasped. "Lance I can't shoot--"
"Drop the act Shiro! I see you in the training room, I know you can shoot!"
Shiro blanked.
"Take the gun, and go!"
Shiro nodded, and they switched out.
Lance braced himself as the sheild was peppered with bullets and lasers. Shiro ran ahead into the fray with the gun. He rapid fire took out the enemies and used his hand to slice any that came too close. Lance thought he looked aboslutly beautiful. Gosh, how could he have every thought someone like Shiro would find interest in him. Maybe it was better if his leg bled out here, he wouldn't burden Shiro was his feelings that way.
Lance was so out of it he didn't notice when Shiro had gotten rid of all the bad guys rushed over to him.
"Lance! Lance are you ok?!" Shiro's voice sounded kinda far away. "Oh my god your leg!"
"Oh, that. Heh," Lance chuckled. "Its cool."
"What?! Lance no, we need to get you to a healing pod!"
"Nah, just leave me here. I'll be good."
"Lance no, you're going to die--"
"Woo!"
"What?!--Nevermind, just stay still." Shiro tried to lift Lance into his arms.
Lance squirmed and pushed against Shiro. "Stop, just leave me here! You won't have to deal with me that way!"
"Lance what are you talking about?" Shiro ignored Lance's protests and held Lance in his arms.
Shiro rushed to the Black Lion, they'd grab the Blue Lion behind them. He made it into his cockpit with Lance still in his arms.
"You're such an idiot to take me with you," Lance said.
"Lance thats not true," Shiro said. "What made you think--"
"And to think I thought you liked me."
"Of course I like you--"
"No, like me. I'm such an idiot."
Shiro stayed silent.
"And then I...oh god I made you so upset. I'm so sorry."
"Lance no! You..."
"It was so stupid to think someone as amazing as you could like me too..." Lance passed out.
_________________________
Lance awoke to the feeling of falling. It was becoming a familer feeling, with how many time he's been stuck in the healing pods. He vaguely feels arms catch him, they're strong and warm. He looked up at Shiro, who caught him. Everything comes back to him, getting hurt, feeling horrible and just wanting to die, and...confessing to Shiro.
He pushes Shiro away quickly. "I'm so sorry." he says, eyes glued to the floor.
"Lance."
"I can't beleive I said all the shit!"
"Lance--"
"Oh god I really do wish you just left me there!"
"LANCE!" Shiro yelled.
Lance stopped talking, and finally looked up at Shiro.
Shiro looked scared, past tears dried upon his cheeks. He rushed to Lance and gave him a tight hug.
"Never, Never say that again." Shiro said sternly.
"B-But Shiro," Lance gasped. "I...I said all those things--"
"You were right."
"What?"
"You were right, I do like you. A lot more than I should." The hug got tighter.
"You...you really like me?"
"Yes. I couldn't live with myself if you died, let alone if I left you to."
Lance finally wrapped his arms around Shiro too.
It seemed everything had worked out in the end. And even as he recovered from so many emotions and a near-death injury, one thought came to his mind...
I knew it!
THE END
