  Summary

  Lance couldn’t help the bewildered look on his face, still she went on “your ego took a hit this morning so you decided to just go somewhere to brood” and that got Lance to shut up. His ego? That wasn’t the issue, but how, just how was he supposed to say that to his friends? You didn’t hurt my ego, you hurt my feelings? Fuck no. I’m never saying that. But I have to say something, anything, just -

  A story of missed opportunities and regrets, yet still, somehow everything ends up okay.

  Aternatively: Lance feels like the 7th wheel and misses Keith, the team doesn't help in the slightest. Lance doesn't want to appear weak so he doesn't say anything, and lets his friends talk down on him. His friends' words hurt his mind and soul, that is until they actually lead to something much worse.
  But maybe one person can change everything. Wonder who that one might be?
