Lance walked down the corridors with a small smile,he thought back to last night with Keith and his smile grew slightly wider."Lance."Allura walked to Lance"sup,Allura?''Lance asked,putting his hands in his pockets."how is Keith?he's needed to form Voltron."Lance bit his lip"h-he's sick!yup,can barely get out of bed!"Allura's expression softened"aw,poor thing.should I check on him?"Lance shook his head rapidly"no no no,I-it could be deadly to alteans!I'll take care of him,Allura."Allura raised a eyebrow"why are you taking care of Keith all of a sudden,you barely come out for training?and when's the last time you've looked in the mirror?"Lance crossed his arms"what are you talking about?"Allura then pointed to a door"look and see."Lance opened the door to a bathroom and turned to the mirror,his hair was a mess and he had bags under his eyes from taking care of Keith's...episodes.he immediately grabbed a brush from the sink and brushed down his hair,once he was a little bit more cleaned up he exited the bathroom to a empty hallway.his phone buzzed in his pocket making Lance grab his phone
Keith:Lance.
Yeah Keith?:Lance
Keith:um,can you come to my room?
Why?:Lance
Keith:i woke up and...just come and see.
Lance putted his phone away and walked to Keith's room and opened the door,Keith was on his bed and staring at the wall that went over his head."Keith,you ok?"Keith looked to Lance and gulped"look."Keith whispered making Lance shiver slightly.Lance sat on the bed with Keith and looked up,on the wall were scratches.they cutted into the metal like butter and made words and sentences:help.Yorak.repeated itself on the wall along with another phrase that made Lance's hair stand on end good luck.from the phrase was a leak of red liquid Lance knew was blood,he looked at Keith and saw his arm had been cut.it wasn't random places where the scars laid though,the scars connected to make Yorak.Keith was shivering all over"who's Yorak?"Lance mumbled"I-it's the name my parents were going to give me,w-what if I blacked out and...did something?"Lance shook his head"you couldn't have,maybe someone's planking us."Keith looked into Lance's eyes making Lance freeze"who would know what that name means?m-maybe I didn't change...maybe it's what I'm supposed to become?"Lance looked at Keith's scar"we'll talk about this later,for now we need to look at your wound."Keith looked at the scar like it appeared out of nowhere even though he should've noticed the pain it would cause"o-of course."he mumbled before standing up.Keith turned and walked to the bathroom,thoughts swirled in his head good luck?Keith questioned as he grabbed his first aid and took out a roll of bandages,once the bandage went around three times he looked up at the mirror.staring back at him was Keith with normal skin and ears with no tail,he wasn't healing himself like Keith but had both hands on the glass as if it was his prison."Yorak."his reflection murmured almost making Keith jump out of his skin"who's Yorak?who are you?"Keith asked as he finished putting on his bandages"it's hard to explain but to shorten it down:Yorak is your garla side,he's trying to take you over and it's making you unstable.ask this:have you seen glimpses of a garla in the mirror lately?"Keith didn't want to listen to his reflection but thought back to when he'd relook in the mirror because he thought he saw his eyes were yellow or his skin was purple."what you saw...who you saw,is dangerous.heed his warnings,heed my warnings when I'm in control."Keith looked to the door"you wrote the help call."his reflection nodded"the good luck was Yorak,he's planning something...I can feel it.don't loose control,don't let Yorak hurt your friends...I beg of you."Keith looked into the eyes of his reflection"what should I do?"the reflection glanced away for a moment"you need to learn to control Yorak,then he will be nothing but a reflection."Keith nodded"w-what should I call you?"the reflection looked at his hands"call me Reflection,for the time being."Keith turned away from Reflection"I hope we speak again."he mumbled before walking out.Keith looked at his hands,he had to control what clawed his walls or it would hurt everyone."Keith..are you ok?"Lance asked as he putted a hand on his shoulder,Keith flinched slightly"I-I'm fine,Lance."Lance smiled at Keith"hey,let's sneak out.just you and me,we can go wherever you want."Keith smiled a ghost smile at Lance"can we go to your place?"Lance chuckled"what should we call it?"Keith thought for a moment"Mirus."Lance nodded then hesitantly took Keith's hand making Keith's face grow warm"to Mirus!"he cheered as he opened the door and dragged Keith to the lions.

Keith bit his lip as he and Lance flew to Mirus,after a moment they came to a meatier belt.Keith smiled at the floating rocks and looked to the blue lion"hey,Lance?wanna see who can get to the other side?"Lance chuckled"you're on!"he exclaimed as the blue lion blasted just outside the meatiers,Keith followed just barely touching Blue's tail.Lance went farther and faster till Blue was a good distance away"ha,looks like I'm gonna be the best flyer after this!"Lance sneered making Keith laugh"did you forget?i was born for these belts!"Keith then flew into the meatiers with lightning speed,he landed Red on a giant meatier and Red ran like its life depended on it.Keith shot back in the air as he saw Lance outside the belt just a few miles from Mirus,Keith smiled and turned on Red's jaw blade.the small dagger cutted through a meatier that separated him from Lance and barrel rolled over the blue lion,time seemed to slow down as he saw Lance look gobsmacked and gave Lance a two finger salute before the red lion controlled itself upright and was now inches away from Mirus.Keith skitted to a halt as he watched the blue lion clumsily stumble over itsfeet before stopping,the lion slid forward and softly nudged its nose against the red lion.this made it so Keith could see Lance,he looked completely in awe as he slowly smiled at Keith."you need to teach me that!"Lance declared after a moment"I don't know,it seems like something only Red can do."Lance crossed his arms over his chest"alright,I saw a planet near Mirus that we could land.it has air and everything we need."Keith smiled"sounds good."Red nudged away Blue playfully making the lion growl teasingly.Lance lead the way to a small planet and landed Blue and Red,Lance and Keith exited their lions and stood side by side.Mirus was the colors of the sunset now with golden shine making almost everything glow,Lance took off his helmet and took in a breath.Keith tugged at his helmet but his ears were slightly wedged in"you need help?"Lance asked with a quiver of laughter,Keith took off his helmet and shook his bad helmet hair making his mullet a little poofy.Lance looked at Keith and felt blush rise into his face,Keith's purple skin tone mixed with the yellows made his skin seem to glow and his raven hair was perfect even if Keith didn't do anything to truly fix it beside shaking his head.Keith looked up at Lance(Keith is short in my opinion.)with the stars reflecting in his purple eyes bringing Mirus to shame"what are you looking at?"Keith grumbled turning his face away making Lance slightly pained"n-nothing."Lance felt his blushing intensify ugh,control yourself McClain!he scolded himself as he sat on a near by boulder,Keith looked over at him and tilted his head making one of his garla ears flop slightly.Lance chuckled and invited him to sit with him,Keith climbed up and sat next to Lance,the two watched the colors shift in complete silence.Red suddenly stood up and pawed Blue's shoulder,Blue looked at Red who raised a paw to Lance and Keith.Blue letted out a choppy growl that must've been a chuckle and stood up,Blue then crouched down in a bow to make a play stance.Red letted out a growl-chuckle and pounced on Blue playfully,the two rolled around kicking up dust and shaking the ground before Red landed on top of Blue.Blue letted out a innocent roar and kicked away Red,the red lion bounced away and landed a meter away.if these powerful machines wanted to hurt each other they easily could but each lion was like family,there was no sense of hate Between two or any of the lions when they rarely played.Keith smiled roundly at the lions before feeling something touch his fingers,Keith looked at his hand and saw Lance slowly reaching to his hand"what are you doing?"Keith asked as he pulled away his hand"huh?uh,nothing!"Lance stammered as he rubbed the back of his neck.Keith looked at his hand and sighed not now,not with him.
