If there's smut in a chapter I'm going to just put an asterix in the title.

When Lance and Hunk leave the bathroom, Keith is still sleeping, so they tuck him in and leave the room. The pair goes back to training, and the time seems to slip by, they're gone for hours without knowing.

Four hours into their training, Keith walks into the room, but stays in the doorway. He has messily dressed himself, and is holding a blanket around his shoulders, his entire body is quivering. For a minute he goes unnoticed. When he is noticed, Lance calls off the bots, then him and Hunk rush over to Keith.

The first thing they notice, is the fact that he's crying.

Keith is pulled into a hug, crying into someone's shoulder, without knowing who's. They take him back to their room.

"Why are you crying baby boy?" Lance asks in a hushed tone, gently carding his fingers through Keith's hair. For a moment Keith doesn't reply, Hunk wonders if this is because he doesn't know himself, Keith's emotions are hightend right now, so it could have been something little, like the bed sheets being the wrong shade of white. This changes when Keith's stuttered reply comes.
"A-allu- Allura..!" The boy chokes out, trying to make himself look small.
"And what did Allura do sweetie?"
"C-came in- sa-said mean t-thing-things..! I didn't- I-I didn't like it..!"
Frowning, Hunk and Lance make eye contact, then look back down at Keith.
"Can you tell us what she said? You don't have to, if you can't or don't want to.."
Keith shake his head quickly in reply "just-just w-want to- to- f-for-forget"
"Okay baby, it's okay"

And that's when Hunk noticed. Keith was showing signs of blood sickness. The way he moved, the way he looked. This was bad, and Hunk knew it.
"Lance" he said, his voice urgent "Keith has blood sickness." As soon as the words are said, Hunk and Lance make quick work of stripping Keith, who fought weakly against it.
"He won't want us to touch him, but we need to, otherwise he won't get better"
They each gently kiss Keith's forehead.
"I'm sorry baby, but we need to do this"
"We'll be as quick as we can sweetie"

And then they adjusted Keith, Lance reaching down slightly, beginning to pump Keith quickly.
"N-no..! Stop..! H-hu-hunk..! L-Lance! P-plea-please- please stop..!"
Hunk just held Keith tightly, held him still, placing gently kisses along Keith's face. Lance continued to work him with one hand, holding Keith's with the other.
"Just relax sweetie, we need to do this- I know you don't want to, but you'll get sicker if we don't.."
"I think he's close Hunk.."
Hunk nods, and continues to soothe Keith, who comes a few moments later, crying out in protest, crying out in pain. Lance pulled Keith's boxers back into place, and moved close to him. Hunk and Lance lay Keith gently down, then go to get up, only for trembling hands to grasp at them.
"Don-don't want to be- don't want to be alone..!"
"Baby, you need to sleep.."
Keith just shakes his head.
"N-no sleep..!"
Knowing that Keith was going to refuse to sleep, Hunk picked him up and held him on his hip. Lance tucked the blanket around Keith, making it into a little cocoon.
"We aren't going to leave you alone sweetie."
