Okay this one has a TINY bit of Klance in it, but not much. Don't get your hopes up!

.

The altean doors swooshed open as The Blade walked in, arriving at the exact time for the meeting to start. Allura and Shiro nodded towards them, and sat down around the huge table in the middle of the meeting room. The rest of the coalition was present, either in person or on big screens.

Lance was happy to see Keith back, even though he was still under the Blade. He looked good.

"How's it going, mullet? Made any progress with the blade?" He grinned and bumped his elbow into the side of Keith. Keith let out a big grin, kinda scaring Lance. Why did he look so smug right now?

Oh god Keith was so hot with that smug fucking smile.

"I have something great I want to show you guys," he grinned.

The meeting started.

Kolivan rose from his seat, and took the first words.

"I want to introduce you all to our 'new' member of the Blade. As she has already been an undercover infiltrator for us for many years, she is now part of the main group, after she blew her cover in last mission. Her name is Krolia, and we should probably mention that she is also the-"

"She's my mother." Keith interrupted Kolivan with an exiting smile, too fond of this to let Kolivan announce the great news.

"Wait WHAT-" Lance could hear the whole room cheer, some were confused (like he was) and some were supportive. Some were worried since she blew her cover.

"Your.. what?" Lance looked at his half-galra team-mate. Keith smiled from ear to ear, not hearing Lances words.

As they kept talking, the altean doors swooshed open again, now a single person entered. Kolivan rose again and pointed at the slim creature standing in the entrance.

"This is Krolia. Our new member. She has a lot of information that we need and find useful, so please give her a respectable nod before she begins the plan. Everyone nodded.

…

"Wow, who would have thought he'd find his mom ON A MISSION?" Hunk was so amazed that he burned the meat he grilled. His eyes averted the food and didn't move an inch from the wall.

"Yeah! It's almost as impossible as the fact that I found my parents! At least Krolia is on OUR side." Pidge joined in on the conversation, waiting for her now black burger. She tried to poke Hunk in the side to get him back. Didn't work.

"Well yeah, at least she's on our side. I hope. What if she's not? Like, it seems like Galra people at good at acting. Since, you know, Lotor etc.." Hunk blinked.

Pidge nodded, now reaching her plate out for the burger.

"What do you think, Lance?" she looked over at him now. He hadn't said anything about the matter since after the meeting. Both Hunk and Pidge had expected him to be the first to bring this up.

"What I think about what?" Lance asked. He obviously knew what Pidge asked about, but he didn't want to say his part. Not yet at least.

"Wasn't she cute, then? Lance, you always flirt with alien girls, why didn't you flirt with Krolia? She's pretty! She's handsome! Or are you afraid since it's Keiths mom?" Hunk made kissy faces and grinned.

Lance looked him dead in the eyes and shook his head.

Hunk felt chills go down his back, and now he felt really stupid for ridiculing his best friend. He was totally wrong; Lance wasn't just a big flirt. He should apologize before Lance walks off.

"Lance, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that at all, sorry-"

"It's okay"

"I don't think you mean that, Lance-" Pidge tried to help. His line sounded so fake..

"I said it's fine, so leave it, okay?" He rose from his chair.

"I'm going to my room." he said, dryly. As he put back the chair, he also left behind his plate with untouched food. Hunk nor Pidge commented on it. But they both showed worry in their eyes as he walked out. The doors opened up right before Lance, and in front of him stood Keith and Krolia.

"Hey Lance! We've just finished touring the castle with mom. What's going on here?" Keith looked so genuinely happy, which only seemed to bring Lance down even more. But he didn't want Keith to feel sorry for him.

On with the mask.

"Hey Keith! Krolia! No, nothing's up here, only Hunks amazing burgers! I highly recommend them." Lance leaned in to Keiths face.

"He's perfected the meat-taste. It actually feels and tastes like burgers!"

Keith lightened up with that, and moved towards Hunk and Pidge.

"Guys, do you wanna know how I met her? It's completely insane! Okay, so it was a regular mission, and she was-"

The doors swooshed together behind Lance. He took a deep breath.

"It's okay, Lance. Go train. Do what you must." He let out another breath.

"For mom."

…

"Lance!"

He looked behind himself, just as another bot began swinging its sword towards him. Lance impressed himself with a backflip before he sliced the robot in two.

A single whistle sound were audible as he yelled "End training sequence".

"That looked great! You might even be a better fighter than me!" It was Keith. It was definitely Keith. WHY did it have to be Keith all the time? Lance let out a sigh.

"Are you here to laugh at me?" He didn't move, just stayed with his back to Keith.

"Why would I? You are the only person I haven't had a proper conversation with since I came back!"

"So what?"

"I came back two days ago," Keith made a point. He wasn't going to get that point.

"I've been busy."

Keith let out a sigh. He raised his hand up to Lances shoulder to turn him around, but Lance refused to turn. The galra growled and jumped around him to meet his face. By the look on Lances face, he had not expected that to happen.

Keith smiled from the cubans reaction. But there was something on Keiths face.

"A scar..?" Lance whispered to himself, not sure if Keith heard him or not. Without realizing, his hand was now touching Keiths cheek. His fingers moved over the silk-like skin, following the trail of the purple scar that possessed Keiths right cheek.

The blue eyes looked up from the scar to realize his friends face were now completely red.

Quickly, he withdrew his hand.

"Sorry. You have a.. erm, a.. s.." Lance stuttered. He made it awkward, damnit. Don't touch. Don't touch.

"Yeah, sorry. It seems to be Galra marks.. Mom says it comes with age.. So, yeah," Keiths brain did not work either.

Age, huh. So he might become purple.

Lance averted his eyes, now looking at the ceiling. Don't touch.

Silence.

"You wanted to ask me what?" he finally asked.
