Why did you go {Klangst}

Chapter 9

It's been a week since we had to put Lance in the healing pod. I'm worried as he was due to come out 2 days ago, nobody has told me why he's late out though.
So far i've spent the whole week here, only leaving to eat and get the occasional drink of water. Every now and then Shiro would come to check on me, but other wise i haven't really talked to anyone.

I feel like i'm just about to nod off, until Shiro, Matt and Allura enter, they walk over to me with a sorrowful look on their faces.
"Well this is new, Must be serious if there's more than Shiro here to see me", i raise my eyebrow as to say i'm expecting a response.
"Mm, well, Keith, it's about Lance" i let out a deep sigh
"Lay it on me," Alura takes in a deep breath and says it,
"Lance seems to have a bacterial infection in his arm, we think the Galra semen has gotten into his bloodstream, and affected his arm" she pauses, eyebrows furrowing.
"If it doesn't heal in the next 24hours we will probably have to amputate it".

A familiar feeling arises in my stomach, i know this feeling, it feels like when i lost Lance, warm tears sit in the corners of my eyes, i try to pull the, back.
"Ok i see. I'm going to go back to my room, if he wakes up, could you have someone bring him to me. I think it's be better for me to explain if he isn't fully recovered."
"All right Keith, rest well, you need it". I give her a nod of reassurance, Matt and Shiro have a similar look to me, kind of... dead inside.

I lay in my bed sobbing, for what seems like the millionth time. Why does this keep happening, just as my life turns around, it takes a shit on itself and flips back upside down. I should be used to it by now, but i'm not.
It kind of pissed me off, that Lance, could react so calmy, after being raped and left in an unsanitary state. He better have been screaming internally or i'll make him. Oh god that sounded violent.

I fell asleep, and god knows how long i was asleep. I decide to get up and take a shower, because i smell as bad as Zarkons ass, and that isn't a nice smell. I turn on the faucet, and feel warm water rushing down my body. A soothing feeling starts to form around my body, i take in the calm moment, just trying to forget everything thats happened so far.

I find Lance, huddled into the corner of my bed, he looks asleep. I go up to him and hug up towards him, he must have been fine this whole time. His arm wraps itself around me, and pulls me closer towards him, his broad shoulders encasing me in his warmth. Oh god i've missed this.
"How long have you been here, Lance?"
"About an hour," so i spent about 3 hours in the shower then, oops.
"You blessing, I've missed you so fucking much. Don't ever leave me again"
"I won't, i won't, i promise," he chuckles and how petty i sound.
"Haha, i'm expecting a wedding when we get back to earth babe, and we both know it".
We both laugh, and drift off.

Lance is in my arms, shaking. He's crying out in pain, the infection in his arm is back, rushing towards to infirmary, i remember what Allura had said. I didn't want to upset, or make it any worse for Lance, so i'll leave it to Allura to explain to him. Once we arrive Shiro and Matt are sitting talking together, Shiro spots me with Lance, and immediately knows whats up.

Allura is called down, Lance is sent into unconsciousness and the process of removing his arm begins.
