Lance sat at the table with hunk as Pidge, Allura, Keith and Coran where to focused on finding Shiro more as hunk was focused on stress cooking and Lance was his victim on trying everything, new food that they don't know what it could be... Space cookies they're avoiding again.

"Has anyone eaten yet?" Lance asked as hunk put bowls and plates full of alien foods while hunk was exhausted as well.

"No, Pidge won't eat and Allura doesn't know she's hungry cause she's to focused, same with Keith, Coran seems to be okay though," hunk yawned sitting next to Lance.

"Why don't you go get some shut eye tough guy, I'll get something in everyone's stomach, they'll be excited to try something more than goo," Lance smiled up at him as hunk let out another tired yawn.

"Thanks man, you sure? Pidge has been crabby and you know how she is," hunk rubbed his eyes.

"I have a little niece and older sisters, I've dealt with worst," Lance smirked standing up grabbing a plate for the first crabby one he has to deal with.

"I wish you luck soldier," hunk chuckled.

"I'll need it, now go to sleep," Lance walked out of the room with a plate that was full of cracker like snack foods with a purple sort of meat with orange seasoning on top. What.

"Coran Coran the gorgeous man, you need food to keep up with that unwrinkled skin," Lance walked into the lower panel where it was more like an engine room.

"Oh thank you Lance," Coran smiled looking at the plate that was set near him on a table. Lance smiled back with a "no problem" and looked back again seeing Coran popping a snack in his mouth and kept working.

"You should take a nap Coran," Lance sang walking out.

Lance grabbed another plate of a baked little nuggets sort of food that was naturally orange and blue. Again, what.

He went to the main room as Allura was finding any galra ship that was near the battle and could possibly taken Shiro somehow, even the Druids. Anything. With them missing a paladin, a leader, they can't form Voltron.

"Find anything?" Lance asked handing her the plate.

"Nothing," Allura sighed rubbing her face not taking the plate so he awkwardly held it with two hands.

"Did you get any sleep last night?" The silence in return answered his question.

"Why don't you go in my room and get some of the face creams, really relaxing and it makes me happy," Lance offered.

"I can't exactly relax in this situation, some of us are working," Allura didn't look at him as she went back to work.

"I can try something to find Shiro, you need a break, treat yo self girl," Lance finger gunned at her and Allura glared at him.

"What is it you want Lance?" She asked flatly.

"Do you want to come have breakfast? Hunks resting and Corans not moving," Lance shrugged.

"So it would be just the two of us?" Allura asked and Lance nodded with a small smile. "Is this one of those 'dates' you always offered?" She asked again annoyed.

"No not really, but having your eyes on that screen can't be healthy... Maybe you can have those eyes on something more healthy~" Lance winked.

"No, Lance go away if your just being obnoxious," Allura said boredly and Lance flinched a little at her tone.

Allura heard Lance walk out and looked down seeing the plate of food and her face softened up.

She let out a tired sigh and moved the plate away from her for more room and got back to work.

"Hey I know your still awake so open up," Lance knocked lightly on the door and only heard a mumble of 'fuck off' in return.

Is it so hard to not get yelled at for doing something nice?

"Pidge I know you haven't left the room either, can I come in?" Lance asked.

"Lance I'll give you one more chance to Fuck off!" Pidge yelled back.

"And I'll give you one more chance to open the fucking door!" Lance snapped back.

"Get lost!"

"Katlynn open this door and knock off the attitude!"

It was silent for a moment but soon the door was slid open aggressively revealing a pissed off Pidge.

"Don't you dare ever use my full name McClain!" She screamed up at him.

"I won't if you eat this," Lance showed her the plate of purple noodles that looked like pasta salad.

"Go to hell!" She tried hitting it out of his hands but Lance lifted it before she could.

"Eat the damn food Pidge," Lance tried again.

"Will you leave me alone if I do?" She rubbed her forehead frustrated.

"Yep, scouts honor," Lance smiled victoriously.

"God your fucking annoying, more than usual since shiros gone, what? Trying to replace him?" She scoffed snatching the plate and Lance was in shock as she was about to slam the door close but he grabbed it before she could disappear again.

"Pidge. We are family, and family takes care of each other cause you all are acting like helpless infants that can't even take care of yourselves!" Lance stomped his foot down and she froze looking at Lance with wide eyes.

"So square the fuck up and go take a walk and eat something! Got it?" He pointed down the hall with a stern look on his face. He hated using his stern voice like how his parents would, even on his siblings or niece or nephew, the fear and panic on their faces made him hate it. But it had to be done.

"Yes sir," Pidge whispered and walked down the halls timidly holding the plate closely as Lance let out a deep breath looking up shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Last and the worst," Lance sighed looking down the halls knowing Keith was going to be in the training room.

"Fuck me," he groaned walking slowly knowing this won't end well.

Lance walked in and saw Keith fighting against the altean gladiator with his sword as it had a staff.

"End training!" Lance called and soon the gladiator disappeared before Keith could strike it.

"What the hell Lance?!" Keith turned to him sharply.

"Dining room. Now." Lance said strictly.

"We are not going over this again," Keith scoffed at him.

"No, we're not, so get your ass moving or I'll drag you myself," Lance walked up to him and Keith looked at him surprised and a little intimidated.

"Your not the boss of me! I'm older!" Keith got defensive again.

"Get moving. Now. Pidge is probably down there now, and so help me if you two bicker or use any attitude I will take your bayards and technology and make you two sit in your room together," Lance pointed to outside the hall.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" He glared at Keith.

"God I hate using that speech," Lance huffed as they got moving.

"W-what about Allura and Coran?" Keith asked as he followed Lance out close to him with his hands behind his back.

"Coran isn't arguing so he can handle himself and I got him food, Allura I tried talking to her but I'm getting the same shit from her that I get from you two too," Lance crossed his arms looking at the floor.

"So when you said that was a speech you did, on grounding us... Was that something through your therapist too?"

"No it was at my older siblings when... When they needed to grow up, so I whipped them back into shape," Lance shook his head. Keith knew he was hiding something.

"Why?" He pressed.

"Because I said so," Lance smirked smugly at him and Keith frowned.

"Cause the youngest is babied?" Keith snorted but Lance turned around quickly making Keith stop shortly.

"Keith stop," he warned in a low tone.

"Younger than your twin right? Literally the baby," Keith smirked a little but lance covered his face shaking his head.

"I didn't want to be the youngest, I was happy being the middle child," Lance whimpered with his hands curling into fists against his head.

"Whoa Lance, what?" Keith grabbed his wrists to make him look at him as he was now concerned.

"Keith I don't want to talk about it, not with this going on, we need to find Shiro," Lance said quietly not making eye contact, avoiding with Keith at all costs.

"Alright, we will, remember, we rely on each other," Keith smiled softly as rose blossomed across his nose looking up at Lance.

"Hey Lance," he said quietly letting go of his wrists finally.

"Yea?"

"Thank you," Keith let go and tucked a piece of hair behind his ear as he took a step back.

"Always, I'm not planning on going anywhere," Lance wrapped an arm around his shoulders dragging Keith down the halls.

Keith felt red flared up his face with wide eyes as he slipped out of lances arm hold and coughed awkwardly.

"I-i should go get Allura," Keith jabbed his thumb behind him looking at the ground and kept moving backwards.

"Good luck then man, she likes you more," Lance waved smiling and walked away to where the dining room was.

"PALADINS! GET TO YOUR LIONS NOW! IVE LOCATED SHIRO!"
