Sorry once again.. 😅

"Lance"

"W-What?" Lance asked, shaking and miserable. He heard his door open, and someone step inside. He turned and saw the knife, and his dad's eery smile. His eyes went wide, I shouldn't have come. Now I'll never see Keith again..

"Hold out your arms, Lancey" His father's grin had widened, and his eyes were wide in excitement. Lance trembled at the sight of it. This isn't reality. This is a nightmare. I wish I would just wake up. Lance gulped and held his arms out, shaking.

Lances dad ripped the sleeves off lance's shirt with the knife, then looked at his arms. Lance noticed the small scars that still lingered from when he had cut himself, promising Keith to never do it again. And he kept that promise.

"This will hurt" Lance's dad said, and without giving lance any time to respond, he grabbed lances arm and began making lines in his skin, blood gently oozing from them. Lance cried out, and tried to punch his father, but missed, and his father cut deeper.

"DAD!! STOP!" Lance screamed as his father continued, from his wrist to his elbow, there were cuts lining up now.

"DAD!! STOP!!"

Keith ran up to the front door, kicking at it, as it was jammed in, and locked with several locks. "LANCE!" Keith screamed, and paused as he knew it was no use. The door wasn't budging. "Lance.. " Keith's voice cracked.

Hunk began to pound on the windows at the front, trying his best to pry away the bars as well. Pidge and Shiro began trying to get a different window.

Keith closed his eyes, "Lance.." he opened his eyes, and they narrowed, turning icy and bitter. Memories came into his mind, like a storm..

"I happen to like Naruto, very much! Mullet-man!"

Keith couldn't help but think of the night they slept together on the couch. He couldn't help but remember his smile.

"When your at my house, I'll make sure things go okay for you"

Keith growled and raised his foot, "I PLAN TO DO JUST THAT!" He chucked his foot at the door, and it went down, split in two.

Keith raced inside and looked around, hearing the quiet sobs of lance, and growls of protest. Keith's anger burned inside of his chest as he dashed towards the sound, kicking down lance's door and running in.

Lance looked up quickly and pulled away from his dad as Keith grabbed a nearby wine bottle (which was empty, thanks to lance's dad) and smacked it on lance's father's head with a loud thud.

Glass crashed to the floor.

Keith watched him collapse to the ground before grabbing lance and squeezing him in a hug, sobbing his heart out as soon as he pressed his head against lance. Lance began to sob too, their cries echoing in the house.

Keith's legs gave out on him, and he fell to the ground, sobbing still, and lance following him, making sure he didn't hurt himself. Lance took a deep, quivering breath, and put his hand on the back of Keith's head.

"It's.. it's okay Keith.. I'm.. I'm okay" Lance struggled to speak, the pain in both his arms stung terribly, and he hated to see Keith like this.

Keith continued sobbing as Shiro, hunk, and Pidge dashed into the room, Heartbroken at the scene.

"Lance" Keith's voice was weak and very shaky. He sobbed, hugging him tighter and trembling hard. Lance hugged him just as tight, tears streaming down his face as he looked up at everyone else.

Pidge walked over and covered lance's left arm with her hand, not caring about the blood that stained her hand, "Lance. We are so glad that you aren't gone.."
