Hunk stretched and walked to the entrance of the castle. He was nervous for this mission. Very nervous.

Hunk was a mind reader and for some things it was a blessing, for other things  it made him feel horrible. Ever since he was five years old he wasn't exactly the skinniest of children. Every time he met someone he could see they're thoughts. They're first thought was always either " wow he's huge" or "wow he's ugly" even his parents were like this.  The people he thought were his friends were like this.

All of these events really took a toll on his confidence and now he's scared to talk and meet new people. Being in Voltron was the first time he felt like he belonged. None of the team not once thought about his weight. They all noticed his personality and his intelligence. Every time he had to go out in public he was scared and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Hey Hunk! You okay there buddy" piped up Lance. This was probably one of the first times Lance was early in his whole life. The man would be late to his own funeral.

"Yeah .... I'm fine" smiled Hunk

"Dude I've known you for years... your nervous about going out in public again aren't you?" Lance knew straight away.

"How did yo-"

" I think I know you well enough by now Hunk... you know they're all ignorant peasants right? You shouldn't care about what they say.  Hunk you have a family right here who cares about you and loves you and nothing anybody ever says will change that."

Hunk smiled but he felt tears prick his eyes. He knew what Lance was saying was true but no matter how much times Lance repeated those words nothing could repair the damage of what they did to him. Lance smiled back and hugged him. Hunk hugged Lance back. The sick feeling Hunk had in his stomach eased when Lance had his arms around him. He felt safe.

"*cough* *cough* uh you two ready for the mission?"

Lance jumped and growled. Hunk didn't need to turn around to know it was Keith, you could tell by Lance's growl.

Lance surprisingly didn't hate him as much as he thought he did. Deep down he really acted about Keith. Hunk also knew that Keith was having some... different thoughts about Lance some of which made Keith himself uncomfortable and he tried denying it.

They will definitely get together someday.

"Where's Pidge? You'd think she'd be here by now."

"She's a woman" said Lance.

"So...."

"Have you ever been with a woman before Keith? They take so long to get ready." Keith looked away and sighed.

"You've been with a woman before...right?" Questioned Lance. Keith didn't reply. He just stared at the ground and crossed his arms which was basically his natural pose at this point.

"Oh. My. God. Keith. You don't know what you're missing. You and I need to go out some night. I'll get you a nice woman. Just make sure you treat her right. Women are like glass, they're beautiful but also fragile."

"And if you break them they'll cut you and make you bleed" piped up Hunk.

"Well that escalated quickly.... wait Keith... so does that mean your a vir-"

" A VIRTUAL ENTITY PRAISE JESUS AMEN" shouted Pidge. Lance fell over because of her sudden entrance.

" a bit of warning Pidge would be great" Lance winced as he got up from the ground.

"Being MORE aware Lance would be great" replied Pidge.

Pretty soon Shiro, Allura and Coran arrived. They were all right on time and were ready to go straight away. Will they find Lotor? Find out in the next chapter!!!!
