Summary
“Do you want to talk about what you saw?”
Keith snapped to attention at that. “You know?” He asked, disbelief in his voice. Lance must have mistaken it for wariness.
“Not the details, just that-” Lance grimaced, “while you were dreaming, everything would feel real. Nobody knows what exactly happened in there, though.”
Keith let out a punched out sound at the confirmation that his family wasn’t real, was just a figment of his imagination. “Lance, I- I had a family,” he moaned, despair evident in his tone.
“What?”
A mission gone wrong; a lifetime lived in a night. Keith is forced to contend with the aftermath of accidentally being exposed to an experimental chemical weapon and must recover while fighting to separate fiction from reality. How can he do that when the dream felt so real and still bleeds over into reality, even after waking?

Summary
Lance inhaled sharply and steeled himself. “You’re not, though, right?”
Keith blinked a couple times, confused. The glassy look started to retreat. “What?” he questioned.
“Going with him. You’re not,” Lance started, “You’re staying here, right? With me.” He winced internally and felt guilty at selfishly hoping Keith was too confused to pick up on anything from that statement.
“Yeah,” Keith started, nodding his head slightly, tilting his head to the side, “Yeah, I’m staying with you,” he looked at Lance, and he felt sick to his stomach because even though that glazed-over look was gone from his eyes, Keith still didn’t seem like he saw Lance when he looked at him.
However, this had to be good enough for now, so Lance would grin and bear it and hope Keith got better soon
Lance is trying his best to help Keith recover from experimental torture, but it gets increasingly harder as his feelings get in the way of being a good friend. He wishes secretly, selfishly, that he'll be the one to bring Keith back, that he'll be all Keith needs. Will Lance be able to hold it together long enough for Keith to recover?
