Amnesia

Nightmares

‘I found him!’ Pidge shouted from across the Galra ship, causing Lance to smile. ‘Where are you?’ He asked, as he and Shiro ran out of the room, equally as happy to know Keith had been found.
When they got to the room Pidge had told them she, Hunk, Allura and Keith were, they saw Pidge kneeling next to Keith's limp body, tears falling from her eyes.
‘Pidge, what's wrong’ Shiro asked, looking down at the two on the ground, Lance stepped forward, he to was looking down, but his gaze fixed on only the raven haired boy.
He knelt down, across from the green paladin, and looked down at the boy. Tears forming in his eyes.
‘Pidge, why won't he wake up?’
Lance asked, looking up at the girl in front of him.

She looked up at him, her eyes were misty from crying, and tears were streaming down her face like small rivers running down her cheeks. ‘I- I'm sor-ry’ she stuttered chocking back sobs.

Lance looked back down at the half-Galra boy sprawled out on the floor. He gulped, ‘What do you mean ''I'm sorry'' ?’ he asked, hating the possible answers already. ‘I- he's gone Lance...’ Pidge answered, and there it was. First Keith gets taken by the Galras and now he's dead.

He couldn't handle all this pain. But he couldn't stop it now that it was done either. He hated that he couldn't do anything.
‘No, no no no– ’ he whispered, shaking his head, as tears fell down his face and dropped onto Keith's pale, lifeless face.
‘I'm sorry Lance,’ Pidge said ‘I'm really really sorry but there's nothing we can do.’ her voice sad, and her breathe was shaky.
Her hands were clenched into fisted so tight her knuckles were white.
‘No. There has to be something you can do’ Lance said, his voice was steady, but he was trembling. Then he felt a rough hand on his shoulder, Shiro.
‘Are you sure there's nothing we can do Pidge?’ Shiro asked confidence rang in his words, but looking up at him, rivers of tears were slowly falling down his face.
Shiro had always been the dad of the group, but Shiro and Keith were like brothers, so finding that Keith was gone must of hit him hard.
‘I wish I could say I wasn't but I know very well there's nothing we can do about it.’ Pidge answered, sadly. She looked down at the ground, and wiped away her tears, Which was useless because more kept coming and falling down onto the hard metal floor.

Lance lay his head on Keith's chest, though it wasn't warm- not that it had ever been that warm.
The thump, thump, thump of Keith's heart was gone.

Lance realized he was feeling slightly drowsy.
His eyelids were becoming heavy, and spots danced in his eyes for no reason at all.

In the corners of his eyes, his vision blurred, he blinked a few times, then his vision went black and he fell into an unconscious state...

Lance shot out of bed in cold sweat, breathing heavily, and crying.
He got out and dashed towards Keith's room, as he walked through the door, he thought of his nightmare...

Right now all Lance wanted was to be held by Keith, he ran to the bed and fell onto it, as tears once again started to fall. Thinking he'd be held by the boy he longed for. But that didn't happen.
Because Keith was gone.
And Lance couldn't do anything about it.
He ended up counting the seconds that passed, and falling asleep curled up in a ball on Keith's bed...
Wishing Keith was holding him, and reassuring him...
This time he didn't have any nightmares, but the voices echoed in his mind even when asleep.

‘Paladins!’ shouted a voice, ‘We have found the exact ship Keith is being held in!’ The voice rang across the room, properly waking Lance up.
But the boy still hadn't realized he was not in his own room.
So he ran to the wardrobe to change, to then remember he was in the raven haired boy's room instead of his own.

‘Right’ he muttered, chuckling.
He took one more look at Keith's room, then rushed to the door and dashed towards his own room.

Lance's POV

I ran into my room, smiling like crazy, I'm gonna be with Keith again!

*       *        *      

When we broke in to the ship we split up. Pidge and Hunk went together whilst Shiro went with Allura. I was left alone... But I was perfectly fine with it, I preferred being alone...

I walked through the ship, Bayard ready. When I heard heavy breathing, and a loud thud. I ran to where the sound had come from, and kicked the door open, to reveal a raven haired boy sprawled out on the floor.
Keith...
I turned on my intercom and told the others, then sent my coordinates, and turned it off, before kneeling down and lifting Keith up and resting his head in my lap.

I could hear him breathing, so at least that means he's alive, but he was still laying unconscious, meaning he was probably badly hurt.

I heard footsteps closing in, and heald Keith close to my chest, subconsciously running my fingers in the boy's hair.

‘Lonce!’ a voice shouted ‘Oh my god, there you are!’ I realized it was Allura.
‘We need to get back to the castle’ I muttered, ‘Why? Keith! Oh ok, come on, let's go’ Pidge said, being the smart one, she must have understood why the moment she saw Keith. I got up and picked Keith up bridal style.

*       *       *

I'd helped Coran set Keith in the pod, and had decided to wait there until Keith woke up.

I brought a few blankets, and a pillow. ‘You know, you don't have to wait for him to wake,’ Allura said from behind me. ‘I know, but I'd prefer being there when he wakes up.’ I replied, not even bothering to turn around to face her.

She let out a loud sigh and left.
I was glad for the silence.
But seeing Keith, unconscious in a pod right in front of me made the silence just to loud for me to handle. But I stayed, for him....
