Summary
His dreams are fuzzy and senseless. He normally can’t make any sense of them, but tonight he sees Keith.
Keith is looking at him, his eyes wild and desperate. He’s yelling something but it’s muted and Lance can’t make it out. Keith looks scared, terrified really. He grabs Lance’s shoulders, still yelling but Lance can’t hear a word he’s saying.
“Keith,” Lance murmurs, brushing a hand lightly along his cheek, “I wish you didn’t have to die.”
The dream starts to fade but Lance can see Keith desperately shaking his head. He catches a few words before the dream disappears entirely.
“-ance! I’m not-”

Summary
“They’re going to free the slaves.” Keith mutters into his shoulder, “And I wanna go with them.”
Lance freezes, and he swears his heart stops, “Keith, babe, are you sure? It’s only been a few months and-”
Keith pulls back, but doesn’t leave the circle of Lance’s arms, “I’m sure. I need to do this Lance, I have to do this. I can’t just sit here and do nothing while- while the others are suffering.” His eyes are wide and sincere, but Lance can also see the fear there. He knows what this will mean for Keith. To free the other slaves might give him closure. It might help him overcome the nightmares that plague him every night.
