Keith's Pov
~~~~~~~~~~~~
           We walk along in complete silence for somewhere around 2 hours. I can tell lance thinks I slept last night. I didn't I listened to his breathing, I listened to his spanish sleep talking. "Dude you seem refreshed. I'm glad you slept!" Lance says with a chuckle. I nod my head which is barely a response. We walk for a little while longer before lance opens his mouth again. "What are you afraid of?" Lance asks trying to start a dialogue. I decide to humor him and give him at least one tiny fear of mine.
         "I'm afraid of thunderstorms." I say with a small smile. Lance hums an agreement.
         "I'm afraid of dying before I get home..." Lance says completely serious. I nod my head again even though I don't share the fear. I'd rather die before going back to being alone in my cabin all day every day. "How'd you sleep mullet man?" Lance asks trying to make small talk. I let out a short chuckle turning to look at him.
         "What makes you think I slept?" I say with a smirk plastered onto my face. He tilts his head in confusion.
          "Why wouldn't you have?" He asks stupidly. I chuckle again taking into account just how dense and self-absorbed lance is.
          "Damn you're dense... I don't sleep. I can't sleep. I won't sleep willingly..." I say turning back around and walking a little faster trying to avoid the obligatory "That's not healthy." Or even the " I'm sorry, keith I didn't know..." But they never came out of Lance, instead what did escape his lips was a question.
          "Is there anyway I can help?" Lance says stopping me with a hand on my shoulder. I nearly choke on my own fucking lungs when I processed what lance had just said. I cough regaining human function and turn to face him.
        "Why would you want to help me? You get nothing out of it." I say trying to keep the tremble out of my voice. I don't meet his eyes hoping that if I keep my head down he won't notice how tired I really am.
           "Keith. You know we're a team right? Like you know you can tell us anything don't you?" He says voice practically dripping with concern and sincerity.

         "Why would you want to help me? You get nothing out of it." Keith says with trembling words. He keeps his head down not meeting my eyes. "What is that supposed to mean? Does really think I hate him that much?"
          "Keith." He looks up still refusing to exactly meet my eyes. "You know we're a team right? Like you know you can tell us anything don't you?" I say concerned. He tilts his head and almost smiles before turning around.
          "Let's go Sharp shooter. We need to make it to the campsite before it rains again. Not sure if you noticed but the clouds are building up again." Keith says starting to walk, not waiting to see if I'm following. I trudge forward after him still kinda taken aback. "Shit man... that was weird." I internally swear. We walk once again in silence, however this silence was unwelcomed, awkward, and tense. Keith practically collapses in pure joy once we finally reach the campsite, he sighs laying on the ground happily.
           "Soooooo... what now?" I ask sitting like a civilized human being.
           "Oh. Ummm....I don't really know. I guess we should get inside for now." He says once again not making eye contact. "Why won't he look me in the eye? This is going to be a long mission...." I think to myself as I stand up and begin to walk inside.
