Time skip to end of week since i don't want to make yet another filler chapter....
Lance has been getting a new memory about every hour and Keith is the one dying. Lance is going through so much pain and he doesnt even remember the memory since it's from the wrong age. He can only remember the ones that happened at age five and so far, none of those memories have revealed themselves. Shiro and Allura have been holding Keith's arms for the past 10 minutes since Lance is stuck in another memory. Keith struggles, screaming.
"Lance! Shiro please!" And other cries escape his lips. Tears flow down his face since Pidge told them it isnt good for him to be touched when in a memory.
"Keith you know we can't let you go." Shiro says but Keith keeps struggling, his galran side going nuts. Suddenly Lance stops screaming and slowly opens his eyes. Shiro and Allura immediately release Keith and he launches himself at Lance holding him close, crying still.
"You're ok, its over." Keith murmurs more for himself but Lance hugs him and cries a little too.
"It hurt keif, weal bad." Lance says hiding in Keith's chest.
"I know baby blue, I know. It'll end soon and the rest of us will help."

"Everyone put your head piece on, it will start soon." Pidge says and all the paladins comply. Everyone agreed to take as many memories as possible, for Lance. He wont forget them but it wont hurt for that wall of suppression to fall and let them flood through. Everyone closes their eyes and soon are bombarded with memories. The paladins begin to scream in pain. The memeories zip by, like millions of knives. Lance is receiving less than the rest since they are taking as many as possible from the young boy. Lance's 4th birthday, his baby brother and sister, baths, arts and crafts, nightmares, meeting friends, everything floods the paladins as they experience a year of Lance's life in a half hour.

The memeories slow and soon stop, the paladins exhausted. Lance is passed out shaking and Keith picks him up.
"Why isnt he awake? Pidge you didn't say this would happen" Keith growls, a purple tint starts covering his skin and his eyes go yellow. Shiro and the others take a step back
"H-he's never gone Galra like this before" Hunk says softly and Shiro takes a step forward hands out in surrender. Keith growls and pulls Lance close mumbling 'mine'.
"Keith I'm not gonna touch Lance, he's fine Keith just sleeping. Calm down its alright." Shiro says calmly and takes another slow step forward. Lance's eyes slowly flutter open and he looks up at keith.
"K-k-keif?" He asks. Keith looks down and nods. Lance tries to get away
"S-scawy! Siwo!" He starts screaming and Shiro takes him, Keith shifting back. Tears well in Keith's eyes and he runs out the room, Allura on his heels telling him to wait. He collapses on to his knees sobbing.
"I'm a monster! He hates me!" He continues to cry not caring that he can probably be heard. Allura finds him quickly and helps him up.
"No...Keith you are not a monster and Lance definitely doesnt hate you. He was just scared, hes only five." Allura brings him to his room and sits him down. "I'll talk to Lance, just get some rest Keith. I'm sure everyone else will be doing the same."
Keith nods and slowly closes his eyes, drifting into a nightmare riddled sleep of Anne, Zarkon, and Lance.
