Useless- langst oneshots

Breaking

"Full of loneliness
This garden bloomed
Full of thorns
I bind myself in this sand castle"

The empty halls were a safe haven. A place where my guard could be dropped. I could never show the team how much of a wreak I am, that would be asking too much.

My emotions are digging into my skin like knives, but what am I to do? Pull them out? Let them see me cry? They say that to survive you have to leave the knife in anyways.

I open the sliding door slowly and close it behind me. One of the rare doors that aren't automatic. The room was dimly lit by a single panel in the middle. I swiped my fingers on the panel, picking up the collected dust and blew it off. Next to the control panel was a headset of sorts attached to wires that connect back to the panel. Picking it up, I notice how hefty it was.

I slide it on my head and feel a tingle go down my spine. The panel lights up and words are displayed in Altean, then an outline of a hand pops up. I shrug, what do I have to lose? The monitor beeps once and changes to a bright green. I watch as green sparks travel up the cords and into the headset, immediately making me dizzy.

I quickly lie down on the floor and feel my eyelids droop. My vision clouds and then I'm unconscious.

As he falls unconscious, two bars on the monitor slowly rise, quickly rising to yellow where the panel started beeping a warning label flashing. Then the panel sparks, turning a deep red, sending red sparks down the cords into the headset.

The sparks reach Lance and his body jerks. His arms start shaking and then the rest of his body follows suit. His body is violently jerking and foam starts flowing from his mouth.

"What is your name
Do you have a place to go
Oh could you tell me?
I saw you hiding in this garden"

'Lance? Lance where are you?! Allura wants to have a meeting to discuss battle strategies!' Keith's voice echoed throughout the silent halls. He knew that Lance hid in the abandoned halls.

Kieth went into each room, flashlight in hand. They don't turn the lights on here to save power so everyone who comes down here has a flashlight. 'Lance! Come on you're going to be late!'

He reaches the end of the hallway and goes into the last room, having to slide the door open himself. He looks into the dimly lit red room and flashes the torch around.

The beam stops on an object on the floor that was moving. Keith slowly walks towards the object, eyeing off the sparks that are coming from whatever it is.

As keith nears closer he notices the outline of the object. All too quickly the realisation hit him and the torch fell from his hand. Keith stood for a moment in shock, 'Lance!'

He bolted towards him but the panel sparked, sending hot specs of electricity. Keith growled and continued to run to Lance, dropping to his knees as he reached him.

Lance was convulsing violently with foam spewing from his mouth. Keith rolled Lance to his side and stuck his finger down Lance's throat, making sure his tongue hadn't rolled back and started suffocating him. He quickly glanced over Lance's body and saw the headset that Lance was wearing.

Keith reached to the headset to rip it off but as soon as he touched it, it sent electric shocks into his hands, causing Keith to wince. He looked up and saw the cable the gear was connected to and how it ran into the red panel.

Drawing his bayard, Keith took one swing at the panel, sending shocks through his sword and blasting him back. The electricity popped and crackled from the monitor but powered down, stopping the red electricity from going to the headset.
