Don't Ask, I'll Never Tell

Shared Dream

"That simply isn't possible. Keith is from earth. We have no documented cases of the Galra ever going to earth." Allura interjected.

"Well, you guys were asleep for, like, 10,000 years so anything could have happened in that time." Lance answered.

Meanwhile Keith let in quick, shallow breaths. His chest was beginning to hurt from the pounding of his heart. He forced a couple deep breaths before he grabbed his bloody shirt and rose to his feet. "Hey, Lance. Can I talk to you for a moment... alone?" He added.

Allura seemed puzzled by this but she shrugged her shoulders and went back to piloting the Altean ship.

"What's wrong?" Lance asked, following Keith to his room.

Keith shut the door behind them. When he turned to Lance, Keith felt his face flush. "Lance," he crossed his arms over his chest. "My eyes are up here."

Lance's eyes snapped to Keith's face. "Right, yeah. I know. I was just... never mind. Anyway, you wanted to say something?" He shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Tell me more about the dream you had." Keith ordered.

"Wow. Bossy, much?" Lance teased. "It was just a weird dream. It doesn't mean anything."

"Lance, this is important!" Keith took a strong step forward.

"Whoa. Calm down." Lance held up his hands. He thought for a moment, thinking back to the dream. "Well, what I said was pretty much it. You were there, you were angsty. I think it had something to do with your lion? Anyway, you ran away and almost got eaten by carnivorous squirrels. You told me you were part Galra and... well, that's it, actually. Oh, and we were under attack or something like that but I woke up before we got to the control room."

Keith crossed the room and sat on the bed. He rubbed his temples. "This is going to sound crazy, but I had the same dream you did. Down to the last detail." He looked to Lance for a reaction.

"No way!" Lance replied with excitement. "That's so cool!"

"I... what?" Keith paused. "How is that cool? Those dreams were being fed to me by the Galra, Lance! And somehow, you were connected to that. Aren't you concerned? The Galra could be in our thoughts right now and we wouldn't even know it."

"Nah," Lance waved the thought away. "It could have something to do with our connection as Paladins. I mean, when we form Voltron, we all think like one unit, so maybe it's something like that."

Keith stared in disbelief. "You...you might actually be right."

Lance leaned with his back against the wall. "Why do you sound so surprised? Anyway, it's not like any of that stuff would actually happen. I mean, you're human so we have nothing to worry about."

Keith's wrapped his fingers tightly around the shirt and twisted it in his hands. "Yeah... about that..."
