Summary
He frowned, but let go of Keith’s hand and mumbled, “Don’t like when you do that.”
“Do what?” he asked, biting back a groan of exasperation.
“Act like you don’t matter.”
His hand hesitated as he dabbed another scratch on Lance’s cheek. “I, uh… I know I do,” he said, though his words came out clunky and false.
OR
Keith and Lance are stranded on a desolate alien planet together—their lions down for the count and bodies having taken a beating. Two pining paladins in the enclosed space of a cockpit... whatever will happen?

Summary
“Your mom called.” Keith said, like that explained everything, and it kinda it. Lance hummed in response. Keith clearly took it as an encouragement to continue. “And Shiro, and Hunk.” He counted with his fingers, Lance stopped paying attention when he had already raised five fingers.
His stomach was hurting and Lance wasn’t sure if it was cause he was ashamed of disappointing so many people or if it was the fact that he couldn't remember when was the last time he ate something.
Or, Lance was mourning, going through it, not taking good care of himself, definitely not having good coping mechanisms, and just before he finally collapsed, sick and exhausted, his mother called the only person that she thought he could talk some sense into him.
Keith Kogane, ex black paladin of voltron and just as stubborn as his son.

Summary
So, maybe, just maybe, Lance was a bit sick. He wasn’t feeling the best ever since they came back from their daily trip, the dizziness and overall nausea refused to leave him alone. But there is no way I’m sick, he thought to himself, its probably because I’m overly nervous or maybe a bit dehydrated, but not sick, no. I’m okay, and I’m definitely going to perform tonight.
Lance is sick, but refuse to admit that, and is causing a mess... Keith is trying to be helpful, and is doing his best !
Based on a performance I saw of a duo and one of them was sick, and I couldn't get this story out of my head, so I made it a Klance :)
(Title is based on the Simon & Garfunkel song - I Am a Rock, cause it might have happened in The Simon & Garfunkel Story) -

Summary
The nightmare is still pressing around him, grating against his skin. It’s silent save for the ambient white noise of Black’s engines, but the nothingness of it seems oppressive, just like it used to. It’s felt too close the last couple days, ever since he’s been awake. So far, nothing has really eased that.

Summary
Being a defender of the universe was hard on its own.
Lance copes with his crushing need to be perfect; to improve himself and be on the same level as his peers. They try to reassure him that it's okay, that he is enough, but he can't believe them. He starts losing sleep over it, skipping meals, and it starts to take its toll.
His teammates are there for him though.

Summary
"I mean, I think a person only becomes a caretaker for one of two possible and valid reasons."
"And what might those be?"
Lance shrugs, "Well, either you really care for people and you want to help make the world a better place."
Keith bites his lip again.
(Is Lance really blind?)
"Or you feel like you owe something to someone, like you've done some terrible thing and the universe hates you, and that maybe by helping people and trying to be a better person, the world will forgive you."
Keith's breath stops.
Lance isn't really smiling anymore.
"You're the latter, huh?"
(In which Lance is blind and Keith wishes he was a better person.)

Summary
A solo mission with Keith. Great, who could ask for more? It was going to be easy, just slip in and out of the ship with the information and then come back to the castle. Nothing major, right?
But there's a few bumps in the road. Bumps that leave Lance both mentally and physically scarred.
He will have to live with the guilt written on his face for the rest of his life, a permanent reminder.
