What gets on your nerves the most out of everything?

“….” Matías bit his lip and sighed, “I think y’guys know by now..” He rubbed his arm awkwardly, “Everyone talks about how my parents did a lot for the universe…heck.. they built a whole galactic coalition with their friends! And yet… when some of my teachers or peers look at me… they just talk about how I don’t do anything with my life..” Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes, wincing in pain, “..Is that all I’m good for? Just living in everyone’s shadow like a– like a fifth.. sixth… seventh wheel?”

He let out another chirp in response, unsure of how to react with words for the moment. He leaned in slightly towards his dad again, albeit reluctantly. “S-..so?… At least Dad had– has a group of friends to rely on.. I– I only have Juine.. Toni, Kai, and the others have their own lives!”

“Stop spouting that bullshit, you have friends! You’re just stuck in the lonely mindset that you refuse to notice that you have them.”

“B-but–! What if they’re just pretending to be my friends because of who my family is!”

“Thinking like that is exactly how you end up pushing all your most important people out! Keith almost did that with me!!”

“So?! That’s an ALMOST, Pa! And things are different! I’m nothing like you or Dad! I can’t– can’t be anything like you guys were! My situation is different than YOURS!”

“You’re right, your situation is different than ours! But at least you have people willing to listen and care about you Matías! We care about you!” Lance desperatly cries out with tears, “STOP ACTING LIKE YOU DON’T MATTER! STOP ACTING LIKE ME!!!”

“Stop acting like you? LIKE YOU?! PA, IF I WAS ACTING LIKE YOU I’D BE SUCCESSFUL RIGHT NOW! I WOULDN’T BE REGARDED AS THE GARRISON’S GOLDEN IDIOT! WHAT USE IS IT IF THE PEOPLE WILLING TO LISTEN AND CARE ABOUT ME WON’T SHUT UP AND LISTEN IN THE FIRST PLACE?! I JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU GUYS PROUD!”

“WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! YOU JUST REFUSE TO LISTEN TO US, MATÍAS!” He shakes as he holds onto Matías, “IF YOU KEEP ACTING LIKE ME YOUR GONNA END UP FORGOTEN, ALONE AND

DEAD!!!”

Something snaps inside Matí at how his dad phrased it, narrowing his eyes as he shoves his dad away, “Well you’re not forgotten, alone, and dead…So is that what you really think?! That all I’m ever gonna amount to in the end is just being FORGOTTEN, ALONE, AND DEAD?! IS THAT IT, PA?! HUH?!”

“I’M JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU! I DON’T WANT YOU TO DIE THE SAME WAY I DID!!”

“YOU DON’T LOOK FUCKING DEAD TO ME!”

Lance takes a moment to catch his breath, “That’s because Allura revived me with Altean magic… The same way she did it with your uncle Shiro… You just never hear about cause it’s not a big deal….”

Matías stopped for a moment as well, going quiet, “But-…you– I–”

Lance tries to change the topic from this uncomfortable one, “M-Matías, my point is that you need to stop with all this self deprecation…” He trails off awkwardly.

Matías crossed his arms, looking away once again, “But I don’t-… How-… Then– Then what should I do then?..” He had closed in on himself once more, whimpering as tears threatened to spill again.

"You should start," Lance leans in and pulls his kit into his arms, "By not pushing away and bottling up your emotions. We're tu familia, we care about you."

Just living in everyone’s shadow like a– like a fifth.. sixth… seventh wheel?”

Lance listens silently by the door. He feels guilt grip at his heart. To think, his kit felt like he did all those years ago and he didn’t even try to understand. What kind of parent was he?

Matías hid his face into his hands, quietly sobbing as his train of emotions hit him all at once. God, he just-.. He tried to rub the tears out of his eyes.. but to no avail.

Lance slowly enters and chirps out softly to his distressed kit, “Matías…”

Matí jumped from surprise and lifted his head,quickly trying to wipe his tears away, sniffling as he did so. “P-Pa I–I didn’t hear you open the door…”

Lance sits next to him, his own scent distressed. He takes a shaky breath in, “You know you’re not a seventh wheel… right?”

Matí choked up, turning away from him as he slumped in his chair, “You… h-heard all that..?”

Lance tries to keep his voice steady as the smell of distress and sadness intensifies, “Yes.”

He couldn’t keep it in any longer, tears welling up as he practically threw himself into his dad’s arms, sobbing away.

Lance’s eyes well up as he pulled his kit close. He nuzzles into his hair and hiccups softly, “I’m so sorry mijo….”

“It’s… It’s not your fault, Pa..” His scent got more distressed, “I-i.. I’m being too much of a b-…burden on the others… I’m n-not contributing.. I can’t even fly a lion, wield a blade.. I sit on my ass making videos a-an’” He hiccuped before continuing, “Everyone just sees wasted potential when it comes to me..”

Lance pulls Matías into his lap and sobs. He nuzzles into his kit’s scent gland and tries to comfort him to no avail, “I’m promise you mijo, no one thinks that about you and if they do I’ll fucking kill them.” He hiccups pathetically, “I’m so sorry I made you feel like this…”

Matí shook his head over and over, sniffling as he took in a breath and finally getting his words out, “N-no Dad it’s not you who–” He whined, “..I-it’s just.. m-me.. I-I’m the useless one, I’m not even doing my part to defend the universe l-like.. like what you guys did!”

Lance struggles to keep his own whine at bay, “You’re not useless!”

“Yes I am! Just look at me!” He slowly moved off of him and started welling up his tears again. He gestured towards his messy room, then looked back at his dad, “Everyone else is off doing something amazing and then there’s me! I might not be good at math but that’s one person too terrible”

Something snapped in Lance at hearing that very familiar phrase of self deprecation. He grabs his kits shoulder firmly as he almost growls. He stares intensely into his eyes, “DON’T SAY THAT!!”

Matías went wide eyed for the moment, before his own frustration riled him up again, “WHY NOT? IT’S FUCKING TRUE!” He bat away his dad’s hands from his shoulders, closing in on himself.

“IT’S NOT TRUE! MATÍAS! THERE’S NOTHING USELESS ABOUT MY OWN CHILD! THERE’S NOTHING USELESS ABOUT YOU!”

“THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE WRONG, PA! TAKE AWAY THE FACT THAT I’M THE SON OF TWO PALADINS OF VOLTRON, TAKE AWAY THE FACT THAT MY SIBLINGS ARE AGENTS OR PALADINS THEMSELVES.. AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE?” He screamed at the top of his lungs, hiccuping again, “A barely-passing delinquent expelled from multiple schools that- that doesn’t contribute anything!… I can already tell some of my teachers are expecting me to get kicked out already from the Garrison… I’m only in because s.. strings were pulled..”

Lance does in fact growl this time, less threatening and more authoritative, “Matías, listen to me.”

Matí’s own growl started to surface, “Why?”

“BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVED IN YOUR FATHER AND I!”

Matías’s eyes widened, immediately shutting up and staring at him.

Lance’s eyes well up with tears again as he speaks desperately, “YOUR DAD WAS AN ORPHANED PROBLEM CHILD WITH NO SUPPORT FROM ANYONE BUT SHIRO! HE THOUGHT HE WAS DOOMED TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING BECAUSE NO ONE STOPPED TO ENCOURAGE HIM AND THOSE THAT DID ENDED UP LEAVING HIM BEHIND!”

Matías started to sit down again, whining only slightly before clenching his fists in his lap, “What– What are you getting at, Pa?”

Lance lets out a shaky sighs. He leans over and chirps softly to his kit, "No one thought he was good for anything. Sure he was an exceptional flyer but no one though the could do it with his attitude, personality and life he had. Keith started feeling like that too. Hell, even while we were Paladins he still felt that way but after finding Shiro and finding family in us as his friends, he saw his flaws as amazing part of who he was. He was what everyone said he was or was going to be. He was Keith."

“THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE WRONG, PA! TAKE AWAY THE FACT THAT I’M THE SON OF TWO PALADINS OF VOLTRON, TAKE AWAY THE FACT THAT MY SIBLINGS ARE AGENTS OR PALADINS THEMSELVES.. AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE?” He screamed at the top of his lungs, hiccuping again, “A barely-passing delinquent expelled from multiple schools that- that doesn’t contribute anything!… I can already tell some of my teachers are expecting me to get kicked out already from the Garrison… I’m only in because s.. strings were pulled..”

Lance does in fact growl this time, less threatening and more authoritative, “Matías, listen to me.”

Matí’s own growl started to surface, “Why?”

"BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVED IN YOUR FATHER AND I!"

What gets on your nerves the most out of everything?

“….” Matías bit his lip and sighed, “I think y’guys know by now..” He rubbed his arm awkwardly, “Everyone talks about how my parents did a lot for the universe…heck.. they built a whole galactic coalition with their friends! And yet… when some of my teachers or peers look at me… they just talk about how I don’t do anything with my life..” Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes, wincing in pain, “..Is that all I’m good for? Just living in everyone’s shadow like a– like a fifth.. sixth… seventh wheel?”

Lance listens silently by the door. He feels guilt grip at his heart. To think, his kit felt like he did all those years ago and he didn’t even try to understand. What kind of parent was he?

Matías hid his face into his hands, quietly sobbing as his train of emotions hit him all at once. God, he just-.. He tried to rub the tears out of his eyes.. but to no avail.

Lance slowly enters and chirps out softly to his distressed kit, “Matías…”

Matí jumped from surprise and lifted his head,quickly trying to wipe his tears away, sniffling as he did so. “P-Pa I–I didn’t hear you open the door…”

Lance sits next to him, his own scent distressed. He takes a shaky breath in, “You know you’re not a seventh wheel… right?”

Matí choked up, turning away from him as he slumped in his chair, “You… h-heard all that..?”

Lance tries to keep his voice steady as the smell of distress and sadness intensifies, “Yes.”

He couldn’t keep it in any longer, tears welling up as he practically threw himself into his dad’s arms, sobbing away.

Lance’s eyes well up as he pulled his kit close. He nuzzles into his hair and hiccups softly, “I’m so sorry mijo….”

“It’s… It’s not your fault, Pa..” His scent got more distressed, “I-i.. I’m being too much of a b-…burden on the others… I’m n-not contributing.. I can’t even fly a lion, wield a blade.. I sit on my ass making videos a-an’” He hiccuped before continuing, “Everyone just sees wasted potential when it comes to me..”

Lance pulls Matías into his lap and sobs. He nuzzles into his kit’s scent gland and tries to comfort him to no avail, “I’m promise you mijo, no one thinks that about you and if they do I’ll fucking kill them.” He hiccups pathetically, “I’m so sorry I made you feel like this…”

Matí shook his head over and over, sniffling as he took in a breath and finally getting his words out, “N-no Dad it’s not you who–” He whined, “..I-it’s just.. m-me.. I-I’m the useless one, I’m not even doing my part to defend the universe l-like.. like what you guys did!”

Lance struggles to keep his own whine at bay, “You’re not useless!”

“Yes I am! Just look at me!” He slowly moved off of him and started welling up his tears again. He gestured towards his messy room, then looked back at his dad, “Everyone else is off doing something amazing and then there’s me! I might not be good at math but that’s one person too terrible”

Something snapped in Lance at hearing that very familiar phrase of self deprecation. He grabs his kits shoulder firmly as he almost growls. He stares intensely into his eyes, “DON’T SAY THAT!!”

Matías went wide eyed for the moment, before his own frustration riled him up again, “WHY NOT? IT’S FUCKING TRUE!” He bat away his dad’s hands from his shoulders, closing in on himself.

“IT’S NOT TRUE! MATÍAS! THERE’S NOTHING USELESS ABOUT MY OWN CHILD! THERE’S NOTHING USELESS ABOUT YOU!”
