    Summary

    Lance quickly finds Keith’s communication signal and hits call.

    A few seconds later, he realizes what he’s just done, panics, and immediately slams the 'end call' button.

    “Shit!” he hisses through his teeth, throwing the tablet on the bed and recoiling away from it like it’s a poisonous snake rather than innocent alien technology. Its screen goes blank again, wiped clean the way he wishes his impulsive action could be. “What am I doing?

    Summary

    The woman tilted her head. "Do you know what we just did to you?"

    Astarion's eyes darted between them, perplexed by the question. What they did to him…?

    That's when he noticed the Selûnite pendant around her neck. She was a cleric… had she healed him? He tried to piece together a scenario that made any sort of sense, but the details barely added up. Had these people found him? If so, why did they drag him across the city? How did they do such a thing? Why wasn't he in Harborside getting treatment? He wasn't sure exactly how severe his injuries had been, but he knew for a fact that a simple healing potion would not have done a thing to mend him back together.

    "Are you… healers?" he asked.

    The bearded man's mouth dropped open. "Healers—? What? No," he began to reach for him, but thought better of it and awkwardly closed his fist instead. "Astarion, it's me. Gale."

    Astarion didn't recognize his name or his face in the slightest, but the way he was looking at him gave him pause.

    "I… I don't…" Astarion shook his head slightly, racking his brain. "I'm sorry… Have we met before?"

    Summary

    “Sweetheart,” says Lance, his hair longer, his shoulders broader, the slope of his nose uneven now where it didn’t used to be, “you don’t know the half of it.”

    Summary

    “Then come see me,” Lance murmurs, and it makes Keith’s heart pound behind his breastbone. “Us, I mean. Once a week or something? Like mental health check-ins. We can just hang out, or...or go on low-priority, low-stress missions? Scouting, or flower-picking for Coran, or supply runs. Dumb stuff. Just...so we know how you are. I don’t want...I mean, we all miss you. And I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but...it feels like you’re not...not okay, Keith.”

    Well, Keith thinks, a little weakly. He never really stood a chance, did he?

    “Okay,” he says, right away. No fight. No refusal.

    His life is a hell of a lot easier when he lets himself cave under all the ways he wants Lance's luminous attention, and company, and friendship. All the ways he wants Lance, full stop.

    Summary

    Pidge is still close —closer than is entirely comfortable if he has to be honest— giving him an evaluating glance. Lance doesn’t really know where to look, other than up her nose— but that grows old pretty fast. So he looks at himself in the reflection of her glasses. And squints.

    He touches his own face for the first time since waking up— and feels the roughness of his chin.

    “I have stubble,” he says, and the words are as alarmed as they can be even though they still sound slightly slurred, slightly off.

    Pidge blinks a couple of times at him, and finally retracts into a more comfortable distance.

    “Well, yeah,” she says. “You are like, what? 22? 23 in a couple of months?”

    “I’m feeling— I’m feeling a little queasy,” he says then, with bright spots of color dancing in front of his eyes as he thinks 22.

    Suddenly, a bucket gets shoved against his face. He takes hold of it with clammy fingers and he leans on his side so he can... use it. Thoroughly.

    “I’m having Garrison flashbacks,” he hears Pidge say.
     

    (Or: Lance is stung by an alien bug, loses his memories temporarily and makes assumptions about his and Keith's relationship. Also, Pidge cheats at Uno.)
