I was up all night last night. Lance usually comes by to force me to sleep but this time he actually took my advice am went the fuck away...or just didn't show up. Anyway with all this extra time to think I've decided to be useful. So as we all sit at the breakfast table i know we have a little time till lance comes.

"Alright so you know how lance has his lame jokes and flirting in attempts to cheer up the team, well why don't we show him how to actually entertain people and try something diffrent."i suggest standing up in my chair. I hear murmurs of agreement from everyone at the table.

"Now i know its a bit on the cruel side but he's lance he can handle it. Besides whats a good joke if not cruel? Now we all have to be in on it, but for one day we have to ignore lance, pretend he's not here."i say, i get murmurs of agreence from around the table except for two.

"I don't know about this, it seems like a bad idea."coran says.

"Yes exactly coran thank you!"hunk says after coran.

"Oh come on it's only one day, whats one day in the vastness i life"i ask, after a bit of convincing they agree, just in time for lance to join us. He walks in with his dazzling smile, and makes his way to his chair. It doesn't seem like we have to ignore him...he just didn't talk to us. Through out the day we didn't talk to him, and he didn't complain. In fact he stayed silent as well, but his happy smile always stays on his face. Then after training we didn't see him for the rest of the day, not even at meals. So now as we all sit around the table after dinner we all have one thought on our minds 'what happened to lance?'

"Guys, i think something's wrong with lance."Keith says.

"Well no shit Sherlock"i respond. What could the blue boy have done all day? Is he normally like this? Why have we not noticed before?

"He didn't speak to us or was just absent. How long has this been going on?"hunk questions us all. We all shrug.

"I don't normally pay attention to him"Keith murmurs out.

"Me and hunk are usually to busy making new things to speak to him"i inform them.

"I usually help allura make plans"shiro tells us.

"I clean the castle and don't have time"coran say. I look at everyone around the circle my mouth falling agape.

"This hasn't been a one day prank, we ignore him all the time."i whisper out and soon everyone else connects the dots too.

"We are terrible"shiro whispers. After a few minutes of silence the door to the room opens and lance walks in, his mouth looking more comfortable in a frown, a book in his hand as his eyes scan the page vigorously. A towel over his shoulder and his bayard held in his other hand.

"Hey lance where are you going?!"allura shouts from her spot. Lance is startled his book falls to the floor and his fist grips his bayard tighter makeing it form into a sword no one knew he had. Once he sees its us his breathing slows and smile quickly slaps itself on his face.

"Just going to train." lance says grabbing his book from the floor and looking back at us.

"Do you do this every night?"shiro asks, lance shrugs and turns to leave but we all shout wait simultaneously.

"Lance, we wanted to say sorry that we don't pay attention to you or speak to you."hunk says standing from his spot on the couch. Lance gives him a confused look.

"You do speak to me, which is why i was so happy all of you didn't talk to me today."lance says, his expression turning relaxed.

"What why?"i now ask and stand from my spot.

"You guys haven't realized? All you ever do is put me down and tell me how I'm not good enough. I thought that you for once you were kind enough not to point it out...guess i was wrong."lance says a small frown takes place of the smile on his face.

"Well good seeing you, and please if tomorrow you all could leave me alone again....it might be enough to make life bearable."lance says his frown
slipping back into a small smile and he walks out.

Each day we tear this boy apart and don't even realize it .
