[ allura moves to settle against his side, and lance lets out a breath - his whole body seeming to relax with the weight of her. it's a lot to think about, if he gave himself the time to, but for right now? he at least feels like he can relax. like allura can relax. like there is a chance, in this moment, he is helping.
he's not usually this bad when it comes to everything - his self consciousness and worries usually pushed somewhere in the background, tucked behind everything (anything) else he could focus on instead. but the way that keith had looked at him, and how shiro had been so exhausted, and how allura - even now - tucks up against him, lance can't help but think if this was what could finally do voltron in.
but he won't. he won't let it. he made a promise to keith, and he'd make it to allura, too. he's not letting anything happen to her. to any of them. he won't.
so instead lance leans his head against the top of her's, his eyes on their hands as his fingers idly running his thumb along her hand. he doesn't notice, necessarily, how gentle of a movement it is - he has a hard time sitting still during any point in time, really. ]
If you say so, then that's good enough for me. [ he laughs. ]
