A/N: hey guys! Happy Monday...ok I know everyone hates Mondays. So...I did say I would post 2 days a week, but then I got busy with another fanfiction and a Q/A. So...to avoid so much stress, I'm going to only post every Monday. I'm going to try to wrap this up within the next 3 or possibly 4 chapters. I feel this sick fanfic has gone way longer than it needs to me. Ugh, me and my stupid creative mind! Anyway, since there aren't any reviewers this week, lets get on with the story! Hope you enjoy!
I own nothing of Voltron Legendary Defender
Shiro was helping out after he finished eating...only to find himself seeing Lance and Hunk arguing again. After he calmed the, both down, they tried to work out what they could find. A little while later, Allura walked in the room and she told them that she couldn't find anything in her room, but she can help out however they could.
The four of them were making arrangements, and luckily, Lance and Hunk found some ingredients to help the soup. That meant they didn't have to another planet to find ingredients...which was good because of Keith were to wake up while they were on a planet, that would only ruin the surprise.
"Ok, I think we got everything we need. Lets get busy!" Hunk declared.
Just as they were about to get started, Pidge walked in the room. Everyone's attention was towards her, and Shiro felt a slight panic in his gut.
"Pidge?" Shiro kept his calm self despite how worried he felt. "What's going on?"
"Well I came to see how you guys were doing. Judging by the situation, I'm guessing pretty good. I also came here to get some water."
Everyone looked at each other, before back at Pidge.
"How's Keith?" Hunk asked before Shiro could.
"Oh, he's doing ok," she smiled slightly. "He's awake right now.
Right away, Shiro's worry spiked up.
"He's awake...and you just left him?" Shiro could barely contain his panic, but luckily Pidge didn't noticed.
"Trust me, I literally just had an argument with him to stay on that couch. He may be sick, but he's still stubborn. I mean...he did agree to stay put after a while."
"And do you really think he would stay where he's at?" Lance's voice came in from a few feet away from Pidge. "He's a stubborn idiot you know. We did mention he would push himself if he was left alone right?"
Pidge stood there for a moment, and then realized Lance was right. That does sound like something Keith would do. Her eyes widen as she took a hard face palm towards her forehead.
'Idiot!' she thought. 'Why did I think he would stay on that couch!'
"It doesn't matter!" Shiro went into leader mode. "Lance, get the water! Allura and Hunk, get started on the soup! Pidge, you're with me! Lets go!"
At once, everyone got to their assigned role and Shiro and Pidge sprinted out of the room.
"I'm sorry," Pidge said as they ran. "I completely forgot that-."
"It's fine," Shiro says. "It isn't your fault."
They kept running...both of them hoping Keith didn't do anything stupid.
Keith pushed off from the couch, and he can tell he immediately of how weak he felt. Nonetheless, he still continued walking, stumbling every now and then. He knew Pidge would be back soon, so he wouldn't have time to walk around. It didn't help him that when he did try to walk, it would always end up with him almost falling over.
After all, his body was still weak and he still had a high fever. Not to mention he was most likely dehydrated. Everyone has been so focused on Keith recovering after fainting, they didn't even think of getting him water to drink. Keith continued to stumble like a drunk man who had too much to drink. He mumbled under his breath...hating the fact that he couldn't even walk straight for more than 10 seconds.
Suddenly, Keith got dizzy...the same dizziness he felt back in the training room before he fainted. He stumbled over to a wall so he can let the dizziness subside.
All of this seemed like deja vu, only this time, his vision didn't began to blur. He was actually starting to feel nauseas as the dizziness went on. He couldn't let Pidge see him like this...all he had to was get back to the couch and act like he was sleeping.
Any healthy person would know that would be as easy as breathing, but in someone in Keith's condition would see it as more like taking a mission to Mars. His breathing got shaky and heavy again as he tried to recompose himself.
If he fainted again, then he knew that Pidge would have to see the same thing twice in one day. He doesn't have any idea that she has Shiro and Lance with her.
As the dizziness subsided after what felt like forever, Keith heard a beeping noise. At first, he thought he was hearing things, but as he looked over to attempt to make a move for the couch, he saw Pidge's pad sitting in the edge of it. That's when he noticed it was her pad that was beeping.
'What the?' Keith thought. 'Why is her pad beeping? Has it detected something? I have to figure that out.'
Somehow, Keith has forgotten about his sickness for a moment as he very quickly pushed off the wall. Immediately after following that action, the dizzy spell returned, and this time, Keith collapsed to his knees. Then it happened...he started vomiting all over the floor.
As he did, he didn't even noticed when Pidge, Shiro, and Lance came rushing into the infirmary, and saw him in that state. While they were relieved he didn't faint again, they were still very much worried and concerned as if he did. Right away, Shiro rushed over to Keith while Pidge and Lance ran to get the couch ready...and so Lance can lay the glass of water down.
Keith continued to throw up, and he still wasn't aware the others didn't run into the room, until he felt Shiro's hand on his back. He flinched at the sudden touch, but otherwise didn't move.
After about a minute, Keith stopped vomiting and began coughing violently and his breathing was shaky and shallow. Shiro grew more concerned with every cough Keith let out. Pidge and Lance were forcing themselves not to look at the scene. Pidge already saw him passed out...she didn't need to see him puking. Lance just didn't want to look at the scene...especially since there's vomit involved.
Keith coughed for about another minute or two before finally looking up at Shiro. He noticed the concerned look on his face, and then tried to speak up.
"Shi..." but he was cut off abruptly by another violent cough.
Shiro lightly patted his back. "Take it easy, buddy. Try not to speak."
Keith felt horrible...even more horrible than when he did when he fainted. Shiro looked over at Pidge and Lance. They both looked at him before giving him a nod as if to saying they were ready.
"Come on bud," Shiro said softly to Keith.
Shiro gently hoisted him up and put his arm around his shoulder. Immediately, Shiro could feel he was supporting most of Keith's weight. Keith literally felt like his body was on fire...and that he was gonna faint again. Honestly, if the others didn't show up when they did, there was a very likely chance that he would have fainted.
Shiro basically half dragged to the couch half way, before Lance came over and took Keith's other arm. They both helped Keith lay back on the couch, and that's when Keith started coughing again.
"Here," Pidge said as she held out the glass of water.
Keith looked up and his shaky hands grabbed the water and drank about half of it before setting it back down and groaning.
"T-thanks," his voice sounded weak and hoarse.
"I'll go clean up the floor. Can you two keep an eye on him?" Shiro asked.
Lance and Pidge nodded before Shiro left the room to get some cleaning supplies.
"So...judging by the current situation, you aren't doing so good then?" Lance asked.
Pidge roughly elbowed his side, and Lance grunted.
"Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't have been moving around?!" Pidge snapped, which caused Lance to look over in surprise. "Honestly, if you weren't acting like a stubborn idiot, you wouldn't be in this situation!"
"I wasn't even...up for that long..."
"It doesn't matter! When we walked in, you were on the floor throwing up of what was left in your stomach! I've warned you! We could've walked in and find you passed out on the floor again! Do you have any idea how worried we were?!"
"I..."
"You know what Keith-?!"
"Pidge," Lance said with a small nod before looking at Keith. "She's right you know. The reason why you fainted was because you worked too hard. Now you just blew chunks because you decided to be more stubborn. In my opinion it's getting really annoying."
"Walking around...shouldn't be that hard."
"It wouldn't, if you weren't sick!" Pidge blurted out again. "Honestly, Shiro would probably lecture you longer than I am."
"Yea yea...whatever," Keith groaned before shutting his eyes shut for a few seconds and then opening them back up.
Pidge and Lance could tell he was trying to gain back his composer. Before either of them could say another word, the beeping sound came back.
"What's that noise?" Lance wondered.
"I heard it earlier," Keith cleared his throat. "Right before...you know. It came from...Pidge's pad."
Lance looked over at Pidge, before Pidge turned her head towards the sound...which was on the opposite side of Keith.
"That's weird, it's never done that before," Pidge said with curiosity.
She walked over and picked up her pad and looked to see what was up. She poked at her pad a few times before she stood in shock at what she saw. Lance noticed this and looked at Keith for a split second. Even though Keith was feeling sick, he could tell that something was wrong...he even saw all the color drain from her face.
"Pidge, what's wrong?" Lance asked, a little bit concerned.
She looked back up towards Lance, shock still written all over his face.
"The Galra ship...it's within 3 galaxies away from us!"
