So sorry it took so long to come out, I hope you enjoy it.

Lances pov

We have all gathered in a circle in the training room, allura and Coran have passed out drinks to us all.

"Today we will be doing a new type of training, it requires you to drink the liquid we poured into your glasses."Allura says, I look at the drink in my hand suspiciously, then back up at allura. Shiro and Keith had taken a sip of the drink, hunk sniffed it before deciding it was okay to put inside of him, and pidge just downed the whole thing.

"Lance."shiro says giving me a stern look, I look back into the cup filled with purple liquid...and slowly lifted it up to my lips taking the tiniest of sips before feeling a tingling go through my body. It felt like my tongue and brain had relaxed.

"We will be playing truth or dare, this concoction will make it so you have to tell the truth, or you have to do what your told to do, Coran made it specially for this."allura says, and Coran twists his mustache with a proud look.

I feel my heart almost jump out of my chest, before I reassure myself, I'm lance the stupid idiot with the perfect family...no one's gonna ask me if anything is wrong with me.

"But why make a drink to force us?"pidge asks.

"Oh, because sometimes people lie, or don't do the dare...and this is meant to be a fun game."allura says a twinkle of mischief in her eyes.

"What that's not fair! If we don't want to tell you that's for a reason!"keith shouts, I feel a smirk tug on my face.

"Got something to hide mullet?"I ask. He whips his head over to me quickly.

"Yeah, you?"he asks, when he realises he said yeah his eyes get wide, and when I said yes...well his eyes went wider, but no one noticed.

"Let the game start, I'll be watching, so I can disarm the game at any moment."Allura says.

We all stare at each other, practically daring the others to ask us something personal with our glares...well mainly them, I kept a relaxed look on my face and leaned back. I have nothing to fear, my biggest problems to them are being separated from my family, and sleeping in to late. That and they don't care enough to ask me anything.

"I'll start this, hey shiro what's it like to have a robotic arm?"I ask finally speaking up, shiro looked at his arm then to me.

"It works like the normal one, except sometimes it gets super fucking cold  that sucks...gotta use oil sometimes. It's-it's not ideal, but I'm lucky to at least have an arm."shiro says. I nod and the game goes on.

It was going well, light questions, easy dares, even comical ones. Hunk had to drink a whole glass of one of those terrible drinks that we had at that one party, and Keith had to attempt at dancing. But then...then one of the fuckers did it...

"Hey pidge, how do you cope with losing your family."someone went to deep, someone asked a question to sensitive, I almost fell over when Keith asked that question. You could see the burning look that promised death in pidges eyes as the words foamed out of her mouth.

"I stay up late into the night, and work on finding them, never giving myself time to think about missing them...and I also have you, my second family, knowing your all here and safe...it's helpful."pidge says, her death glare loosening slightly at the end, and dear god you would have thought it stopped there but no, they kept asking questions that dug farther into emotions, and we learned things about our friends which was nice...till Keith's evil glare caught my eye.

"No ones asked you a question lance."he says, I shrug showing I wasn't scared. But that's when i felt it, I felt my breath catch in my lungs, if he left the question loose enough maybe I could use a completely different answer, but the reassuring thoughts didn't stopped the pounding of my heart, or the feeling that my throat was slowing closing up on me. I tried to look like I wasn't sweating through my shirt, as he glared at me and pondered on what to ask.

"Yeah, this is truth or dare, ya gotta ask. "I say, Keith's evil grin stayed on his lips, and he spoke.

"Okay truth or dare?"asks defiantly, I smirk and reply.

"Dare" I knew I had done it, I was free.

"I dare you to tell the truth, What's your deepest, darkest secret."Keith says, I was going to say something like 'I don't actually use face masks to look this good'

But the words that started to erupt from my throat weren't the same, the vibrating of my vocal cords started, and before the first words could come out I knew I wasn't going to say that.

"I am-" I started before I placed a hand over my face, and and tried to muffle the sound but you could here the faint word.

"Depressed." Slip through the cracks in my fingers. I wanted to take back all the words I had just said, I wanted to curl up in a ball and hide away from my team. I had prayed a million times over and over to the god that I hadn't spoke to in a long time that he would make them go deaf for just a second, or that they hadn't heard it.

But the looks on their faces told me other wise, the looks on their face...well, mouths open, tears starting to form in the corners of their eyes, people looking away in shame...would be much better then what I actually got. When I looked at them, I saw confused looks, pidge looked like she was about to start laughing, shiro had rolled his eyes.

"Are you sure?"hunk asked.

"Maybe he didn't actually drink it."pidge said, the smile on her lips slightly dimming.

"It's not fun to mock us lance."shiro scolded. I felt like I had just been beaten with a hammer, pounded so hard into the ground and I just couldn't find the energy in me to climb back up, to push away the gravel and dirt, to attempt to look happy.

My face had dropped, and I took a moment to try and bring the smile back to my face, and it happened, but my team didn't care.

"That could be true."I say trying my hardest to squeeze the lie out, it only slipped past my lips because the sip I took was so small so maybe it didn't work.

"Bull shit!"I hear from across the room, when I look up I see Keith pointing an accusing finger at me. His eyes looked like they were burning with a fury , and his limbs were shaking.

"I'm fucking done."Keith says and he grabs my arm pulling me off the ground.

"W-what are you doing?"I ask. Keith looks at me, the anger in his eyes melting away slightly.

"Going somewhere that you can trust me, I want to know everything...since this is probably is my only chance."keith says and he continues his trek out, his hand still having a tight grasp on my arm. I heard the team groan at the scene before them...but I couldn't seem to care.

I felt a bit of happiness tug at my heart...someone cares? Someone wanted to help me?
