Keith had been seated on one of the bar stools, twirling a strand of his long black hair, looking down at a crossword puzzle. He wasn't to familiar with them but he decided 'why not?' Just hours ago Lance had been declaring his new partnership for Keith, now claiming Keith as his boyfriend, the thought still made Keith blush madly.
But as the boy was busy thinking of his now sleeping boyfriend, he failed to notice was the purple smoke swirling below his feet, heading towards the corridors where the Paladins had rested every night. It was thick and had a slight transparency to its appearance, making it not to noticeable.
Just rooms away a tan skinned boy lay peacefully asleep, his freckles glowing in the dark shadows of the galaxy. The breathing of his chest was steady and still.
Smoke was now approaching his door when the soft blue light of the control panel suddenly went out. The smoke shifted under the door and dodged around Lance's messy floor, filled with various food wrappers and old empty record sleeves. The soft nightlight that was alight besides his bed had begun to flicker and then within the blink of an eye had went out. The boys eyes were beginning to flick regularly under his eyelids, his arms began to twitch. Smoke was now rising, like a pale purple wave it rose and then crashed over the boys sleeping body.

"Carlos...." a soft whine came from the smoke.

Lance began to sweat and shift even move, his blankets now falling off his bed.

"Hey knew his life was more important..." the voice whispered again.

Lance's heartbeat increased and small groans of despair had escaped his mouth.

"I'm here Lance." The voice was now whispering, it's melodic voiced had rose into a unsure chorus, filled with many different voices, all shaky and breaking up.

"Come find me Lance, I'm over here!" The voice called out, the smoothness returning.

Tears escaped the boys sleeping eyes, his body now shaking. He couldn't seem to end this torture.

"Find me." This voice hissed.

The boy gasped and sat up suddenly.

"Carlos where are you?" The Blue Paladin whispered, eyes flinging open, blue orbs replaced by a deep foggy purple
color.
