lance knew about keiths frequent nightmares. he knew he should keep keith close at night. he knew he shouldn't of left that night to grab a cartoon of milk quick. he knew keith would freak out and not be okay.

it all started when they were watching a movie together. keith eventually fell asleep in lances arms, feeling safe enough to fall asleep. lance ran through a list of things he needed to grab at the store the next day, realizing it was only milk and bread. basic, yes. but he thought maybe he could just run there quick, it was only two things!

but it was much more than two things.

lance wrapped keith in a few blankets and kissed his forehand, whispering an 'i love you' before grabbing his phone and keys and making his way out the door. he hopped into the car and drive to the store, maybe driving through a few red lights, he had to get there and back fast.

keith didn't know lance left, and was still in the mindset he was in his arms.

"keith!" a young woman yelled, reaching towards keith. he tried to grasp onto the woman, but was too late. a car screeched just before her, slamming into her.

"mom!" keith screamed out as tears fell down his face.

keith started hyperventilating, still in his dream state. he grasped around for lance, a habit during nightmares, but didn't feel him around.

as keith looked away, now lance was in front of him. the tall, lanky, cuban boy looked frightened. quite frightened actually. keith tried to walk over to him, but a man took a gun to his chest before keith even got close.

"l-lan-lance!" keith choked out. he started frantically looking around, for something. someone, anyone.

keith now started coming aware of his surroundings, and realizing lance was not near, freaked out more. "l-lance?" he called out hoarsely. "lance!"

lance quickly threw a loaf of bread in isnbasket and turned sharply, making his way to the freezer section to grab milk. he checked his phone every few seconds, just to see if keith texted or called him.

keith started crying, softly at first. but then it evolved to full on sobbing. he genuinely thought lance was dead. his mind was going a mile a minute, he hadn't even thought about calling lance.

once lance got everything, he paid and swiftly made his way home. when he got to the door, he fumbled with his key and got in eventually. when he opened the door, he heard keith calling out his name and sobbing.

he dropped everything and ran into the living room, frowning immensely at the sight in front of him.

keith's face was tear stained, and he was still crying. he was curled up in a ball and hyperventilating. he looked miserable and scared.

lance ran up to him and scooped him into a hug. "shh baby it's okay i'm here.." he whispered, stroking keiths hair.

keith sniffled, looking up at lance. he slowed his breathing a bit, hugging the taller back tightly. "i-i thought y-y-you we're dead and i had a n-nightm-mare an-and-"

lance brushed keith's bangs back, kissing his forehead. "shh shh shh, i'm here now. i thought i could quickly go to the store to grab some things but didn't realize you'd probably have a nightmare. i'm so sorry love. try to breath, deep breaths. in 4, out 4." he whispered.

keith nodded, snuggling into lance. he started taking deep breaths, inhaling lances scent. he smelled like lavender and coconut. it must be his shampoo.

"are you okay now?" lance asked softly, running his fingers through keiths hair.

keith nodded slowly, lifting his head to look at lance. "mhm.." he hummed, looking into lances ocean blue eyes.

lance kissed keiths cheek and smiled a little. "i love you."

keith smiled back. "i guess you could say i love you too, but you chose groceries over me sooo-"

"oh shut up!-" lance chuckled.

keith stuck his tongue out. "never."

they ended up cuddling until about 12 pm in the afternoon the next day. maybe sleeping in also. they didn't care, they didnt have any plans.
