Did this instead of my homework....priorities

Lances pov

I let out a grunt as i fall to the ground. A pain in my abdomen, i turn to look at where it came from and see the one galra i haven't seen...guess he was the real sharp shooter here, haha....

I lift my gun and take aim, i feel my body jerk causing my finger to pull on the trigger as another bullet enters my body from a different angle. I hear the galra i shot scream and grab his arm, damn i missed. I quickly shoot that galra, i feel the black cloth under my armor become warm and stick to my skin, the pain is so bad it's almost numb.

I turn to the other galra that shot at me and quickly shoot at him, my shot being perfect landing itself in his brain. I watch as he falls to the ground instantly. Their blood pools the floor, its a strange purple liquid reminding me of grape juice.

While mine is a dark red...like wine the thiner bits of blood on my white armor looks like a crimson apple the way it coats it and shimmers slightly in the light.

"Guys"i say, my breathing heavier then i thought i was, i was panting trying my hardest to get more air into my lungs.

"Lance?! Are you okay?"i hear hunk.

"I-"i start, but soon stop, not having the energy to speak.

"This is the death of beauty"i joke, wanting them to remember as the happy cocky paladin...even till death.

"Lance! Where are you! How injured are you"i hear pidge question, a frantic sound to her voice.

"In the hallway outside of the controls room"i say, trying to keep my eyes open, but all they want to do is close.

"Okay were comeing, hold on"shiro says, Keith staying oddly quite. I knew he didn't care... I thought we connected that one time.

"It takes a lot to kill me"i laugh, my voice fading at the end. Black spots come into my vision, the pain in my chest and side growing worse with each breath like my skin was pulling at the wounds, pools of wine red surround me. I just wish i didn't have to die alone...

Flash back

"Would you like to dance with me"i say, bowing slightly to Keith, he just scoffs and shakes his head.

"Cant you take anything seriously?"he asks, i just smile and stand up still holding my hand out to him.

"We aren't battleing anyone at the moment, it's just me, you and this music"i say, he looks at my hand almost as if considering it.

"We could spend this time training or learning new things" he says and starts to walk away, i grab his wrist and spin him around. I pull him closer to me and start ballroom dancing with him.

"We always have missions, and training each day. We have a break now, so loosen up a little"i say, as i lead him in the dance, Keith being completely compliant with me through out the whole thing.

"Bu-"he starts but i cut him off.

"This is the time and this is the place to be alive"i say, while a twirl him around and dip him. Our faces inches apart.

"Okay"he complies.

End

I smile at the fond memorie, we danced like that for the rest of the night. I thought we made a connection.

My vision is even blurrier now, and the pain in my side and chest have ended up going numb, my breaths are deeper and slower.

Flash back

I stare at the planet we just saved, a lot of green every where, plants, bushes, trees.

I walk down the streets looking for a certain garden that the inhabitants of this planet talk to highly about, they showed me picture and i had to admit it was quite lovely. I wanted to look at such a pretty garden myself maybe take a picture to bring back to my little sister.

When i walk in i see i wasn't alone. Walking over to Keith's side i stare my mouth agape at the destroyed garden.

"This garden once was perfect"Keith says, looking at everything.

"Yeah"i breath out looking at the brown broken and dried out remains of the plants that once grew here.

"Why'd you come here?"he asks. I hold up pidge's space phone and point to it.

"I was going to take a picture for my sister, why are you here?"i ask, and let myself slip pidges space phone into my pocket.

"I love plants..."he says, his voice quite like he's trying to hide the fact.

"Hey thats fine, whats your favorite type of plant?"i ask. His face flushes slightly and he bites his lip.

"It's gonna sound stereotypical but i love roses, red ones. They are just so beautiful"he says, his eyes looking into the distance as if they could see into another world.

End of flash back

I guess I'm never going to be able to give Keith the red roses i have left on my desk...

i will never tell my sister of the beautiful different plants, I've seen in my adventures...

I am never going to tell my family of my adventures.

I hear feet pounding on the ground, getting closer, i don't know if they will be on time....

"I'm so tired..."i mumble.

"Lance,i swear to god! if you die..."Keith finally says something but his voice weakens at the end. I hear the running footsteps come to my side.

Maybe i will see my family again

Maybe i will feel that amazing rush of flying again

Maybe I'll see the magnificent oceans of earth that i used to stare at for hours

Maybe i will see the a beautiful sunset that looks like it was painted with pastels

Maybe i can do the simple things again like breath without constant pain

This may not be the end of me

Maybe I'll see the stars that i admire every night while i clear my thoughts....

Or maybe I'll become one of them

My eyes feel so heavy, like i haven't slept in ages.

"Lance, come on stay awake....please"i hear a voice, as the persons hand cups my cheek. I turn my head the small movement making me feel dizzy.

"I thought dying would be faster" i whisper, as my eyes meet with keiths, they are glassy and tears start to pool in them.

"It is, it's taking so long right now because you aren't dieing"he says and lifts me up from my place on the floor. My hands are colder now that they aren't surrounded by the constant warmth of my blood. I hear keiths footsteps as they race down the hall.

I'm never going to be able to confess to Keith...

....no

.....I'm not going to go without telling him...

"I have roses for you in my room, i like you...so so much."i say, i close my eyes my words starting to slur at the end.

"Lance you said it would take more to kill you. Just...hold on stay awake"Keith begs, his voice cracking.

"I lied....i cant go on"i say, my words coming out almost incoherent by my slurring tone...

No ones pov

Slowly, lance could barely comprehend what was happening, his breathing becoming less ragged, and underneath his closed eyes all life drained out of them. As his breathing comes to a stop so does keith.

"Lance!"he shouts putting the lifeless boy on the ground. The other paladins who were waiting in their ships to take Keith and lance to the castle soon felt their hearts drop knowing what just happened. They exit their Loins to find the red paladin and former blue paladin. Blue lets out a growl and curls up on herself...

And Keith, he is kneeled over laces body, speaking a hundred words per minute as if he spoke about the right thing lance would respond and be better, or at least alive. He talk about many things, still waiting for a response of some sort as tears pours down his cheeks. His brain just couldn't stop the string of words flowing from his mouth, like it hasn't yet comprehended that lance wasn't going to respond...ever.
