Lance's P.O.V.
It's been three weeks since I went on the date with Shiro and Keith, I've felt myself falling in love with them more and more each day. I want to stop, I don't want to fall in too deep to quickly but everything inside me is screaming to confess and live a happy life with them.

Of course I still don't know that much about them but I know they wouldn't hurt me and they at least kind of like me. The feeling of being watched hasn't gone away but I just ignore it, I don't want to worry anyone.

Currently I'm working at the café, it's Sunday so everyone is working. I feel absolutely horrible, I'm running on little sleep and barely any food since the rent rate was raised again and I can't afford any food. I'm half debating begging Allura for something but I don't want to just use her for food. Tonight I have to work again but at this point I don't know how I can.

The café doors open as I'm serving a customer and I see it's Shiro and Keith. My mood brightens a little as I look over to them. My friends will finally get to meet them and see that they're really awesome and even though things probably won't work out it's still nice to spend time with them.

"Hey." I say, forcing a smile and trying to hide my exhaustion

"Hey Lance, we finally got a day off so we wanted to come see you." Keith says

I feel a presence behind me and turn to see Hunk, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh hey Hunk, this is Shiro and Keith." I say

"It's nice to meet you." Hunk says to them

"Likewise." Shiro replies, shaking his hand

I can see Pidge and Allura looking over from their stations but they don't come over to meet them. I can sense a lot of tension for some reason. Do they not like Shiro and Keith? No I must be going crazy from lack of sleep. At this point I don't know what's true or not.

"Lance, you ok?" Shiro asks "You look kind of sick."

"I'm fine, just a little tired but what college student isn't?" I say, chuckling

"Are you sure?" Pidge asks, walking over to us "You look really pale."

"One hundred percent, I'll get over it in like an hour." I answer "So what would you two like?"

I take Shiro and Keith's order and they sit down at one of the tables. I keep sneaking glances at them and I can tell they're doing the same, making me blush. The tension seems to be fading away but I still don't know what it's from. Shiro and Keith haven't done anything.

Hey that man with the long white hair is back again, I guess he must really like our café, what was his name again? Lotion?

"Hey Lance, are you sure your instincts matched with Keith and Shiro?" Allura asks me, appearing from around the corner

"Yeah, why?" I reply

"I don't trust them, they are hiding something." She sighs

"Nothing bad I'm sure." I state "I know they'd never hurt me or anything."

"If you're sure." She says unconvinced "Please stay safe and remember we're here for you when you need us."

Allura walks away and I turn back to the coffee I was making. Does everyone distrust them? Was it something they did or said? But they've barely spoken and this is their first meeting so it must have been me. Oh god I messed everything up didn't I? I'm going to need to fix this.

I turn around with the filled coffee pot but I feel dizziness overcome me, I try to plant my feet on the ground properly and lean on the counter but it's to late, the floor is getting closer and closer...

Sleep would be nice...

Allura's P.O.V.
After the short talk I had with Lance I realised he doesn't see the mystery surrounding his two "soulmates". I can tell something bad will happen but I don't know what, but if Lance gets hurt so help me god.

"Did you talk to him Allura?" Pidge asks me

"I did, he says we have nothing to worry about." I reply

"Of course he said that, the day he lets us worry about him is the day he's lost it." She grumbles

"We just need to trust Lance, he knows what's best for him." I state

Suddenly we hear a smash and something hit the floor. Pidge and I run out to the main room and see Lance on the floor with a smashed coffee pot next to him.

"Lance!" I shout, rushing over to him and pulling him to me

The alpha inside me wants to protect Lance but how do I help him?

There's a rush of footsteps, Shiro and Keith are quickly by Lance's side. Keith places a hand in his forehead.

"He's burning up." Keith says.

"Put him in the couch in the back room, I can take him home after my shift." Hunk says

"Shiro and I should take him home now, it'd be better to get him some medicine now rather than wait." Keith states

"Lance is our friend." Hunk says

"And he's our soulmate, we need to protect him." Shiro states "Let us take him home, we aren't going to hurt him."

I sense no lies coming from them and they really seem to be worried about Lance so begrudgingly I give them the address to his apartment. None of us have ever been there so I'm worried they'll take him to the wrong place.

"If you hurt him in any way I'll make you regret the day you were born." I growl as I watch Shiro pick up Lance

"We would never hurt him." Keith says as they walk put

"Are you sure it's ok?" Pidge asks me

"I guess we have no choice, none of us can get in the way of Lance's soulmates." I reply

Keith's P.O.V.
Lance is getting worse, we take him to our car and begun the drive to his apartment. Shiro drives while I sit in the back of the car with Lance, holding him close. I'm extremely worried and feeling very protective of him right now.

We arrive at his apartment and my stomach drops, this is a really bad area. The apartments look run down and dirty. Maybe it's better on the inside. Shiro and I get out of the car, me carrying Lance's unconscious body and we walk to his front door.

The lock seems to be almost broken so I carefully open it with the key in Lance's pocket. Inside isn't much better than the exterior. There's a tiny run down kitchen with broken cabinets and scratched walls, an even smaller bathroom and finally a bedroom but it's really just a thin mattress on the floor with a sheet over the top and a pillow.

"He can't live here, this is horrible." I say

"They key opened the door." Shiro replies equally as shocked "This is how Lance lives."

"I knew he didn't have a lot of money but this is worse than I imagined." I say, holding Lance tighter to me, wanting to protect him from the harsh reality

"There isn't any medicine." Shiro says looking in the cupboard in the bathroom "Just some pills which I guess are suppressants fo some kind. But they don't look like the regular ones... These are the ones that are really bad for you."

"Can we focus on that later?" I ask "We should take Lance to our place, before he gets worse."

Shiro nods and we walk out of Lance's apartment, locking the door and getting in the car. Lance seems to be getting worse, I can hear his groans. Shiro drives quickly, making sure we get home before anything worse happens.

We arrive at our mansion and quickly carry Lance to our bedroom. I grab a cool cloth while Shiro grabs some medicine. I'd feel horrible removing his clothes so I opt to just take off his shoes. He looks better wearing very little, that blue lace lingerie for example but I can't just remove his clothes without his consent.

I put the cold cloth over his forehead and Shiro comes back with some medicine. Carefully administering it. Lance seems to relax after than and I breath a sigh of relief. I crawl into bed next to him, wrapping an arm around his waist which is to small.

"Shiro I can feel his bones." I say

"This isn't good, he's to skinny for an omega." Shiro mutters to himself "Let's wait till he wakes up to help him any more, for now we should just stay with him in case he awakens."

"Shiro I think I love him." I sigh "It's like when I first met you and I fell in love weeks later."

"Our instincts matched, it's only logical we'd fall in love." Shiro replies

"I'm going to tell him soon." I say

"I want to as well, but it's to dangerous for him to get messed up in the mafia." Shiro says, stroking Lance's cheek

"We can protect him, I'm not letting him go." I reply, tightening my grip on Lance

"Then we'll find another way to protect him, I don't want our omega to far away from us either." He says "Although we have another problem, those surpressants pills can't be good for him."

"I don't think he has the money for good ones." I say

"We'll talk about this in the morning when he's awake." Shiro says "Hell be our mate eventually and then he'll never have to suffer again."
