SEND ➺TO FIND MY MUSE BADLY WOUNDED AND BLEEDING AFTER A BATTLE || open
lance likes to think he can be a rational man, especially on the battlefield. every move he makes is calculated, and normally one step ahead of his opponent. he’s a good fighter, something that he’s been shown by his friends and now, something he values about himself.
but now, when he’s found himself severely outnumbered by galra soldiers, he knows there’s no way he can one up them. he needs to fight for his life, literally.
lance had seen the potential danger, and had managed to trick keith into finding shiro nearby the abandoned village. he’s always been a little self-sacrificial, but he thinks there’s a good reason behind it. keith is a more valuable member to the team, he knows that. it’s not his insecurities bubbling through the surface, it’s common sense. keith is an exceptional fighter and they need him to win the war. and also, if he’s being really honest with himself, he doesn’t have it in him to watch keith get hurt. he really likes him and knowing that something was to happen to keith all because of him would just crush him. so he takes the hits, all by himself to make sure keith is safe.
for someone who is heavily outnumbered, he manages to get a lot of good hits. he takes out several soldiers, and once the fight is starting to turn in his favour, the victory is taken from his grip. there’s two soldiers left, and they manage to hit him hard. it’s not until he looks down and sees blood on his armour, that he realises he’s been shot.
the world around him blurs, and lance falls to the floor in agony. if he had the strength, he’d scream. but that would only bring attention to him, and he can’t risk that. he watches as the two soldiers collapse, and keith suddenly comes into his view.
“ hey buddy, ” lance breaths out, as he sees keith come closer to his view. “ are you proud of me ?? look at what i did. ” he wants to ask keith to take his helmet off for him, but the thought of being handled at the moment doesn’t too good. he holds his arm out to find keith and hold him, just for a little strength, because he’s not sure if he’ll make it this time. he’s never felt a pain so strong, and he’s slipping away. he can feel his eyelids getting heavier and lance just wants to shut his eyes and pretend he’s anywhere but here.
but he doesn’t, because when he looks into keith’s eyes and sees fear, he knows he’ll do all he can to change that. “ you did good today, like always. i’m so proud to call you my friend. ” has he ever said something like that aloud to keith ?? lance wishes he had, he wishes for a lot of things. he hopes he has the time to change that. “ couldn’t let you get hurt. you mean too much to the team. ” to me, he adds in his head, but he hopes that keith gets it.
lance tries to move, but is hit with a searing pain throughout his body. this time he screams. he screams until his voice is raw. “ don’t leave. please, ” he gasps, taking a harsh breath. “ i’m scared. stay with me. ”
