The Strings Attached *DISCONTINUED* (Lance X Reader)

Memory..

"Lance. I love you"

I opened my eyes to see the Cuban in front of me in complete shock. I started to regret what just left my mouth. His face of shock swiftly turned to a face of pure happiness. He spun me around, full of joy and threw me into the air about 3 feet from where he had me in his arms. He was skinny but boi was he strong. He caught me with ease and rested his forehead on mine, feeling safe. We stayed there for a minute, resting in each other's touch loving every second of it. "I love you too Y/N" my sweet Cuban boyfriend said quietly in my ear.

2 hours later

We finished packing up our space and started back towards the lion, Silent the entire way there. And not the good kind of silence. We walked into the cockpit and set everything down. I clung to the back of the paladins seat waiting for take off. But it never happened. The awkward silence becoming irritatingly uncomfortable. Lance just sat there dead silent, it was clear something was on his mind. Or in the this case. My mind. Softly he spoke "Y/N" "yes lance" I said awkwardly. "Your thoughts are quite strong at the minute" "oh umm yeah. Just thinking about my past and friends and all." I said awkwardly rubbing the back of my neck. "You really miss them don't you" "yeah. A lot actually" "then I have a surprise for you when we get back" I could hear his smirk even if I couldn't see it.

Back at the castle

We finished unpacking everything and had changed into normal cloths which for me was whatever looked comfortable in Lance's closet. I couldn't help but wonder what lance's surprise was let alone when he was going to show me. Me and him separated our different directions for he had a mission to go on. So I was alone with the two Alteans. I went into the control to find both of the chatting about something completely relevant to me. I was bored and missed my brother, waiting for his return which would take awhile. I sat down in Lance's paladin seat awaiting his return. I felt empty without him here. I let my thoughts of boredom get the best of me along with the fatigue I was experiencing after one emotional date. I slouched back and let my eyes fall shut and letting any remaining consciousness slip away.

Hours later

I woke up to a sweet warm sensation on my lips. I opened my eyes tiredly to see tanned skin and brown hair. Along with the same electric feeling flooding my veins. I weakly wrapped my arms around the slick white and blue armor. My new lover humming in surprise.  Lance pulled away and said "Hi my sleeping Beauty, looks like your prince broke the spell" I laughed, hearing how romantic he was being in the moment. "You ready for your surprise" "mhm" I hummed in response rubbing the sleepiness from my eyes. I stood up and took hold of Lance's hand. He lead me to a empty room with dark gray walls. I looked at him confused. "Think about them" he said leaving me in the room. I sat down in the middle of the room and Thought about them. I heard all too familiar voices laughing and sherking.  I opened my eyes to see I was back on earth in the desert with my childhood home. I looked around and saw something. I thought I was dreaming. I saw a nine year old Y/N and Keith, along with a group of kids that I knew even after so many years of not seeing them this young. Mine and Keith's friends. Playing and chasing each other in front of the house with my dad watching us laughing from a distance. I looked at our childhood friends recognizing each individual there. A brown-hair, bright blue-eyed boy. My best friend Chris. And I looked at the skinny blonde with blue eyes. My partner in crime, Audrey. I looked at the other boy that had green eyes and a horrible haircut if you ask me. I chuckled to myself as I looked at the weebo, also known as my brother's best friend Idynn. And finally my eyes landed on brown-haired girl with red tips and blue eyes. Keith's girlfriend, Skye. At the time they weren't dating but I know what happens in the future with them. I looked at all our childhood friends one last time as a let out a satisfied sigh. The room then faded back to its dark gray color and my Latino baby walking back in with a smile on his face. He opened his arms qesturing for a hug. I went in and kept him tight in the embrace. Whispering a soft "thank you". Lance kissed the top of my head reassuring me everything was okay.

Well that was, until, it was not okay.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, I know my updates are a little slow but lately I've had a lot on my plate with my love life and with school. I will try my best to continue updating this weekly. As for the four new characters I sprinkled in, they are my real friends and mean so much to me. It was a lot of fun writing this chapter because I feel like we are really starting to see improvement when it come to Y/N. And her mental battle with herself and with her past. As for the people I added in this chapter, it will not be the last time we see them. Bye my Lovelies.
