Voltron oneshots discontinued

It's too late

Lance sighed as Keith stopped squirming and passed out, how long is this going to last? Is Keith going to have to continue suffering just for experimentation? Is this his fault? Oh god it's his fault isn't it. It's his fault for getting himself caught and Keith was only trying to help him and now he's stuck in here having to bear the punishment while he's stuck in the cell with only a few wounds from the few times he was interrogated.

Stupi-

A hand on his cheek stopped his train of thought, "Keith?" His voice cracked and he cleared his throat not wanting it to be obvious he was near the break of tears, though that failed when he noticed the teardrop on Keith's face that wasn't there before. He whipped his eyes with his wrist and looked at Keith, he looked pained, confused, and conflicted.

"You ok?" He whispered, voice drained of energy. "Why are you asking me that? I should be asking that question to you idiot." Lance said sniffing, Keith's face relaxed and his body was still in pain after the injections they kept putting in his system for a while now. Supposed to bring out the galra side of him and it's working but at a very slow pace, it's damaging him and it hurts lance to see Keith withering in pain and not being able to do anything but hold him and try to keep him still so as to not hurt himself. "I'll... probably survive, but I'm asking you since you're a big baby." Keith replied, sticking out his tongue teasingly, but that didn't help lance's anxiety especially with the 'probably' he said, but decided to play along, for Keith's sake.

"I'm not a baby!" He replied, deciding to be dramatic and placed a hand on his chest and the other on his forehead, "how dare you accuse me of such a thing!? Besides I don't chew on everything I see and leave my germs on it." He said sassily, Keith snorted at that but groaned as a more intense pain coursed through his veins, lance internally winced and let Keith hold onto him till it subsided. Lance could see the purple ever so slowly spread across Keith's skin, he couldn't image the amount of pain Keith had to go through.

Damn it! He wished he could do something to help but there's nothing he could do to help Keith but be there for him and that made him beyond frustrated.

All he could do was wait for a miracle to happen and hope that Voltron comes or pray to every existing god that Keith survives through this process.

Days pass and Voltron still hasn't come and lance is starting to faith that the team would come fast enough to save them, less himself but more for Keith. Sometimes he's come back withering in pain, other times he's screaming, sometimes they'll dump Keith in and he'll start attacking and that would leave Lance having to deal with him and with more wounds but he didn't exactly mind, he deserved it. But rarely they would dump Keith in and he would be crying and that was the worst sight Lance had ever seen. Keith was probably the second bravest of the team behind Shiro and Keith never cries, or at least, not in front of them.

Keith wasn't making much noise besides the few cries and whimpers of pain that escaped his mouth as he clung onto Lance's arm and hand for some stability and to subside the pain. Lance didn't talk, he just let Keith grip onto him and card his fingers through Keith's hair in hope that it helped a little. "Hey Lance," Keith whimpered.

"Ya bud?"

"I'm scared."

Lance stopped his movement, his eyes widened and his heart dropped. "It's ok, you'll be ok, everything's going to be ok. When we get out of this junk yard and when the war's over I'll take you to see the ocean, ok? You said you've never seen it, so just stay with me and don't worry, because I'm taking you to see the ocean, that's a promise." He said, leaning down to touch Keith's forehead with his, hoping to quell some of Keith's fears even though he knew he was just trying to reassure himself that Keith would survive. "Pinky promise?" Keith lightly teased holding up his shaking pinky, lance had to choke back a sob that almost escaped his throat, he gulped and gave him a wavering smile and nodded. "Ya, pinky promise mullet." Hooking his shaky pinky with Keith's, knowing very well that he might not be able to fulfill it.
