Lance's eyes slam open, and he gasps; feet stumbling and lips opening to voluntarily breathe for what seemed to be his whole life.
Tight arms wrap around his figure, keeping him upright. And at first, Lance thinks its Hunk, his best friend, but when he looks up its Keith.
His breath is coming in quick gasps, but they slow and soon his hearing unravels and he notices everyone else, the whole team, behind Keith. And Lance smiles, wide and true with the relief of living.
But Lance's body adapts and his nerves and feeling rushes back and punches him swiftly in the gut because suddenly the hug that had steadied him at first feels like its holding him down, and Keith's arms are grasping him just a little too tight.
