How about 90 with heith for the Drabble meme? ~sleepyhunk

@sleepyhunk  Sorry this took awhile, but here you go!

Hunk never liked the dark.  He could stand it if he had too, but there was a reason he always kept a flashlight in his backpack as a kid.  Nothing was worse to him than having to stumble in the darkness with no light to guide him.

Yet, right now, while breaking into a Garla base Hunk found himself blinded by an explosion.

His body trembled as he tried to keep his hand on the wall.  “I..I can’t see.  Are we in danger?  Are we surrounded?”

He felt Keith’s hand on his shoulder.  “No, we’re okay,” he said for the tenth time.  “We got away from the guards and we’re almost back at my lion.”

Hunk swallowed as he felt Keith give the hand he was holding a comforting squeeze.  “I hate this, I hate not not seeing.”

“I know,” Keith said.  “We’re going to get you into a healing pod, and it’ll fix your eyesight.”

“But what if it doesn’t?,” Hunk rambled as he felt a wave of panic.  “What if I can’t see ever again?  What if I cause us to get caught before we get to the castle?  What if-”

“Hunk, listen to me,” Keith said in a gentle yet firm tone.  “You trust me, right?”

Hunk swallowed as he took a deep breathe.  “Yeah, yeah I do.”

“Then trust me to get us home,” Keith whispered as Hunk felt his other hand on his cheek.  “Okay, Big Guy?  I promise everything will be okay.”

Hunk sighed as he let the warmth of Keith’s hand calm his nerves.  “Okay..okay, I trust you, man.”

“Good, so just hang tight,” Keith said as he tugged on Hunk’s arm.  “We’re almost home free.”

Hunk gave a silent nod as he let Keith lead them the way home.
