(Nightmares)

Lance knocks on Hunk's door, and patiently waits. He hears footsteps approach, and Shay opens the door. She smiles when she sees the two.

"Keith! Lance! Come in!" she beams.

The two enter, and thank Shay.

"Have you've seen Hunk?" asked Lance.

"He went to get some baking mix, but will be back real soon."

Shay's smile fades away when she sees the condition that Keith is in.

"Oh my gosh, is everything okay?"

Keith shakily answers, "n-no not really, but I'm fine though!"

Shay frowns, and goes to get a first aid kit. She comes back.

"Keith, you're all beaten up, something's wrong."

Tears threatened to spill from Keith's eyes, but he held them back.

She hands the first aid kit to the two.

"Keith, you need some rest? You can lay down on the couch. Do you want me to get you tea?" Shay asked softly.

Keith sniffled, and nodded. "Yes please. Thank you."

Shay smiled, "you're welcome."

Lance began to patch Keith up. He cleaned out the cuts, and placed a band aids. He took Keith's jacket since it was scuffed up. Lance handed Keith his own jacket. Keith took it, but it did fit him a little too big. Keith didn't mind though, in fact he really liked it. When Lance finished bandaging Keith up, he gave him a kiss on the forehead. Lance then got up to help Shay make the tea. Keith remained on the couch.

He was awfully tired, and weak. He wouldn't be surprised if he was even sick. He sighs to himself quietly. As he stares at the ceiling, he feels himself beginning to drift off. Before he knows it, he's out cold.

Keith wakes up, and hears talking from the other room. He blinks, and looks around. He scans his surroundings. 

That's right.

He's at Hunk, and Shay's house.

He sits up, feeling a pain shoot up his body. He simply twitches, and looks around. There was tea on the table next to him. There was a blanket on him. He weakly smiles. Keith grabs the tea, and takes a sip. It definitely cooled down. How long was he out?

He forced himself to stand up. He stumbled a bit. Keith hears a lot of talking coming from the kitchen. He walks over, and enters the kitchen. Shay, Hunk, and Lance were all gossiping while working on baking cookies. Hunk notices Keith first.

"Keith! How are you feeling?" he asks, as he gives Keith a warm hug. 

Keith smiles. "I'm a little bit better."

"You're just in time! We're making our third batch of cookies. Do you want to help?" asked Shay.

Keith nods, and beams. He goes over, and helps everyone with gathering ingredients, mixing the batter, and so forth. All four work on baking the sweets, but soon it is worth it. Once the cookies are done, all of them huddle in front of the tv to watch Mean Girls. Keith falls asleep in Lance's arms halfway through the movie. He was stuffed on cookies, and some soda. Before falling asleep, he felt Lance kiss his lips.

"You made some pretty good cookies. Sharp work, samurai."

Keith smiles, and buries himself into Lance's chest. Within minutes, Keith is out cold.
