Some Insight Into the Mind of Keefe George von Opoulos del Toro

Pardon me while I have an oc rant. Only @szethsmom and @dschbach will know what the heck I’m talking about. 

So Keefe and Ilthis. The forehead kiss and the “thank you for healing me” is going to be running on repeat in his brain for a long time. But not for the reason that he will think it is. No one has ever thanked him before or given any indication that his presence was actually a good thing. He is a lot, heck I would die from exhaustion and overstimulation if I had to be around him, and he knows that his presence tends to disturb, annoy, confuse, and just generally rub people the wrong way. What he doesn’t understand is why that is a problem. He doesn’t understand why he evokes such strong reactions from people. The thing that he believes in the deepest part of his soul is that people are fundamentally good and anything can be resolved if everyone just sat down and had an honest talk with each other. 

Someone is bullying him in school? No, no they just have a certain type of humor that he for some reason can’t appreciate. They're his friends how could they have bad intentions? He’s just being sensitive. 

People living in a slum and resorting to crime? Their government is failing them! They must not know what's happening here! If we could just bring the officials to see how bad conditions are then they would jump to help. 

In his mind there is a clear divide between right and wrong; good and evil. If there wasn't then how would anyone navigate their life? Rules are there to stop people from getting hurt, to give them a sense of purpose, and a way to make sure everyone is treated fairly. What if the rules are unfair? Well that's not a problem, those rules were created for a different time, we just need to have a big discussion to find a compromise that works for everyone.

Evil people know they are evil and have always been. If someone who did evil things stops then they were never evil to begin with. The the Evil was just hiding the Light from them. 

You get the idea. 

So if people have good intentions, why does he provoke such bad reactions from them? Is he different? Does he not fit into either side of the divide? Is HE evil and people act badly around him because of his influence? Why can’t he understand them? Why don’t they understand him? Is he ruining them? Has “Pelor” chosen him because he's a bad person and “Pelor” is guiding him to goodness? 

Whatever the case is, he has spent his life being told or implied that he is unimportant, unremarkable, and adds nothing to the world. “Pelor” has given him a chance to make a difference in the world and he SHOULD be grateful. When he ran away it took a least a week for people to realize he was gone. In a Home Alone au he would be the kid that gets left behind. 

So, for someone to thank him, show a sign of affection (platonic thankfully) and in someway put up with his odd behavior and lack of social awareness, it challenges every role he has seen himself play in life. Yes, he has helped people, but how much did he unintentionally terrorize them in the process? Enough for people to scoot him away as fast as possible and make it obvious that they didn’t want him to come back. 

The time that he spent traveling with Pasquel, Dia, and Ilthis has begun to challenge his thinking in a lot of way. Most of it didn’t end up being shown in game, but I’m very intrigued to see how that translates over the the next arc of our Champagne. 

I wanted to talk about some other things, like his views of the people they met, and his messed up longing for a romantic partner, but this got waaaaasy too long. To summarize, he admires Dia’s bluntness and sense of purpose, she reminds him of his closest sister, and his feelings for Iltthis are actually very platonic. It’s going to take a lot of cringey time for him to arrive at that conclusion though. I’ll just be over here torturing my repulsed aro self in the meantime. 

Lastly, if anyone who read this (why did you do that to yourself but thx anyway) related to the feelings above, I appreciate you and you deserve just as much respect, understanding, and happiness as any other living thing. Sending virtual hugs :)

I’ll Love you No Matter What pt 1

The team had stopped on a small planet after battle to gather some supplies and Keith had wandered through the forest looking at different plants when he bumped into her.She was small and dressed in robes that reminded Keith faintly of Haggar. Her hair was white and she looked at him with two white eyes. 

“Who are you?” He asked quickly drawing his Bayard 

“ Have you no respect for a Lady?” She singsonged her voice was sweet and lilting 

“ I have plenty of respect...I just don’t know you.” Keith countered 

“ Fair enough. I am E.” 

“E?” 

“Yes. You seek answers do you not?” She singsonged 

“Yes,but how do yo-”

“E, has knowledge beyond this galaxy.” Keith remained still listening as she came close touching the tip of his Bayard with her pale fingers. 

“What do you want E?” He asked his voice level

“ I wish to give you a gift. For saving my Planet.” She was humming now swaying touching his sword and Keith could hear his radio cackling to life. Paladins were looking for him, wondering where he was. They had only landed so everyone could stretch, and Hunk could gather supplies. Shiro needed to talk to the Locals and that had left everyone to their own devices and Keith here with singsong E.

He pushed the withdraw button on his Bayard and hung it from his belt but he kept a tight grip on his knife. Whoever E was she hadn’t harmed him yet and Lance was always yelling at him about being nicer to the locals. 

“Quickly then.” He muttered 

Then her hand was on his neck and Keith felt nervous but all she did was draw something on his neck in paint. It dried instantly and then E was walking away. 

“MULLET WHERE ARE YOU?”

“KEITH THIS ISN”T FUNNY.” 

“Does this mean I get to go through his stuff.” Are all things that Keith hears when he slides the Helmet back onto his head. 

“No one is touching my stuff.”  Keith warned 

“ Keith! Thank god what if something had eaten you or a GALRA had attacked you-”  Hunk babled nervously 

“Easy Buddy I’m sure Mullet just got lost taking a piss.” Lance teased and Keith had to bite his tongue. Every part of him wanted to respond with something witty and sarcastic but he’d been trying not to lately. He’d been trying to be nicer to Lance and trying to make it less combative. 

“Glad your back Keith. What was the hold up?”  Shiro asked as he sat down in the cockpit of Red. 

“ Just got a little lost... Like Lance said.” 

“Alright team. Let’s get back to the Castle and get some food.” 

***

Dinner was uneventful. Everyone was their normal boastful selves. Keith kept itching at the spot on his neck where E left the Ink. When he got in the shower’s to bath though he couldn’t find the mark. His hands were free of the ink and he looked at his hands puzzled 

“Mullet are you going to take forever tonight?” Lance challenged joining him at the sinks a towel wrapped around his waists.  Keith couldn’t help but look at Lance. He was lean and beautiful. His shoulders were muscular and there was this scar on his arm and some freckles across his back. It was beautiful and breathtaking -and so out of Keith’s league it wasn’t fair. 

“Not as long as your dumbass.” He retorted his heart cracking slightly 

“At least I can’t see all my pores in the mirror after I shower.” Lance snorted knowing that Keith was mocking his beauty routine.  

Keith drew himself up and went into the shower stalls making the water as hot as possible but he could still hear the call of Lance,” You should let me give you one sometime.” 

The water was warm and Keith was wondering what it would feel like to have Lance’s skin touch his so carefully. To have him look and not flinch away or say something about his mullet. He lathered himself in soap as Lance stepped into the stall next to him It was hard not to look at him past the screen with his hands in his hair and his back turned. His ass was full pressed up against the screen while he waited for the water to warm,” MULLET STOP TAKING ALLTHE HOT WATER” Lance hissed the cold water splashing on the tiles 

Keith smiled and turned down the heat knowing he’d have to share. The water in the other stall warmed up quickly then. Lance sighed content,” You know what I miss Keith?” 

“If you say Ulta I swear to god I will come over there an-” 

“ I miss rain, and umbrella’s and those movies where people end up kissing in the rain...” 

Keith looked up surprised to see Lance posed by the screen water running in his hands looking at it like it was some kind of puzzle. Keith’s heart beat faster The screen wasn’t helping him leave much to the imagination. So he closed his eyes and took a deep breath imagining Lance standing in the rain waiting for a kiss it filled his heart with longing. 

“Hey Lance...”

“Yeah?”

“ I’d...If..If you want...I’ll try one of your facials..” Keith offered turning off the water all his soap washed away.  

There was silence as the curtain flew open and Lance burst into his stall eyes wide with excitement. Keith had just enough time to cover himself with a towel,”  Are you being serious?” Keith could see the freckles in on his face and the blue in his eyes. There was soap in his hair and everything about him was warm and beautiful and wet and Keith held his breath not trusting his voice he nodded softly. “Mullet you aren’t going to regret one minute of it. I’ll come by your room after I’m done here.” Lance squeeled going back to his shower allowing Keith to breath and retreat to the drier room. 

Once dressed in his favorite tank and sweats he picks up the little piles he has in his room and straightens out the books. He knows it’s probably not going to matter but he wants the space to at least look a little bit neat. His neck is Itchy so he scrapes at it casually. He’s making his bed when his door opens to Lance and Hunk. 

Keith’s heart falls a little because he thought the experience would just be between him and Lance. He loves Hunk but he wasn’t expecting the big yellow paladin to come in to his room and set down an armful of stuff on his desk. 

“Hey Keith. Sorry Lance didn’t have enough hands to carry all the products he needed to make the masks so he asked me to help.” 

“Yeah I realized I require four arms instead of two for all this stuff, don’t worry though he’s not gunna stay. “ 

Keith just watches as the two organize and then Hunk sweeps him into a hug and whispers in his ear,” Lance is so excited about this. Thank you Keith.” And then the yellow Paladin is gone and it’s just Lance in Keith. 

Lance looks at Keith and the at his mullet,” Your going to need to tie your hair up.” 

“I don’t have a hair tie” He reasons showing the blue paladin his wrist. 

“ I do, come here and I'll put it up.” Lance says tarnishing hair ties from the pocket of his robe which hangs over his shorts and t-shirt perfectly. 

“Why do you have hair ties?” Keith grumbles nervousness settling in his stomach as he steps forward letting Lance sit him in a chair and gather his hair in his hands. 

“I give Allura facials all the time.” Lance respond happily once theres a happy little mess of a ponytail on Keith’s head,” Oh my god. I wish I had a camera, this is to cute.” 

“You don’t get to speak about this to another living soul.” Keith threatens. His fingers touch the little pom softly and he crosses his arms trying to look tough. 

“Whatever you say Keef. So I’m gunna use this -oh god where did I-” Lance begins digging through the product that he has set on Keith’s desk and Keith watches as he leans. His body is so sleek and soft and Keith wonders if he does this kind of thing every night “HERE IT IS!” He pulls a big black bottle out of the mix and shows it to Keith who raises his eyebrows.

“CHARCOAL MASK.” He reads out loud and then he carefully looks at Lance who is smiling. 

“Yup. So basically I’m gunna smear this all over your face and then It’s going to sit for a little bit and then we peel it all off and it pulls all the stuff out of your face.” Lance says excited squeezing a large black glob onto his hand and Keith swallows watching as he dips his fingers and then looks at Keith’s face. “Close your eyes.” 

Keith obeys and he feel’s Lance’s cool fingers grip his chin and then a wet sticky substance right above his eyebrow. Lance is so gentle as he sweeps his product covered fingers across Keith’s forehead and around his eyes and over his nose. Keith doesn’t want to admit it but he craves the way Lance’s fingers touch his face. So soft but still full of purpose and meaning there is no fear in it.  

“Your good at being still. Usually Allura is twitching or Hunks laughing because it tickles.” 

“Do you do this often with them?” 

“ As often as they will allow me... Most the time it’s just me.  I gave one to Shiro once and he fell asleep in the middle.” 

“ Why is it getting stiff?” Keith tries to reach up and touch it and Lance slaps his hands away lightly

“Don’t touch it. The stiffer it gets the better that means it’s pulling the stuff out of your pores.”  Lance singsongs and Keith opens his eyes to look at him. He has his fingers coated in black and hes trying to apply his own black mask which looks difficult. 

“C-can I help?” he asks and Lance stops to look at him. He doesn’t look angry he looks at the bottle and then at Keith.

“Don’t get it in my eyes or on my eyebrows okay?” Lance warns handing him the bottle after he wipes his hands on one of the wet towels he brought with him. He bends down and Keith spreads a big glob on his fingers. The product is cold and dark,” make sure it’s thick.” Lance instructs as Keith carefully dabs a little under the blue Paladins eye and then spreads it. The stuff is harder to spread than the weird space butter that Hunk makes with Katlnekers milk.  Lance’s skin is softer than his and he tried to be as gentle as possible. By the time Lance’s face mask is finished Keith’s mask is starting to itch. Lance looks at him simpatheticly. 

“Your not going to like this part.” Lance says as her picks at a spot on Keiths chin gently where the mask has begun to peel. 

“Why?” Keith asks noticing that Lance’s mask is tacky granted not as tacky as his but still tacky. 

“ Because this part hurts.” 

“ What?” 

“It hurts Keith.” 

“What do you mean it h-” and then Lance just rips the damned thing up with one solid go. Keith hisses touching his face in pain and  looking at Lance in pure shock.

He grabs hold of both corners of Lance’s mask and yanks. Lance gasps and moans like the big baby he is,” NOT FAIR.” 

“YOU STARTED IT.”

“I TOLD YOU IT HURT.” 

“SO.”

“SO YOU CAN’T GO YANKING OTHER MENS FACEMASKS OFF.” 

And then Keith was laughing because Lance looked ridiculous only half of his mask had come off and the other half was still sitting under his eyes. He had one hand on his hip and one in the mixing bowl where he was making the second mask they would wear to bed. 

Keith couldn’t help the smile on his face as he took his fingers and carefully piked off the rest of Lance’s mask.  Lance applied his mask and then Keith applied Lance’s and they washed the bowl and Keith helped him carry the supplies back to his room. 

“Keith?” 

“Yeah?” 

“Thanks for being a cool friend.” Lance murmured as he wrapped an arm around the Red paladins neck and Keith’s heart leapt through his chest hugging the blue paladin hoping that maybe they could do this weird face mask thing again sometime. 

“Night Lance.” 

“Night Keith.” 

***

When Keith woke up the next morning he knew he had to wash off the mask. Part of him was terrified that perhaps it was all over his sheets but the stuff had remained plastered to his face as Lance had promised and he smiled remembering how Lance had smiled at him and hugged him goodnight.

The room was dark and Keith could feel his hair on his back. Had it always been that long though? 

Keith wasn’t going to argue though it was probably a trick of the mind that happened when he was sleepy. He stuck his hands under the water scrubbing carefully and all the green stuff fell away as Keith was scrubbing he noticed something. Something really not normal. 

His tank top was filled with what looked to be breast. He blinked and rubbed his eyes and looked again, they were still there jiggling slightly at any movement he made. He flicked on the light to his room and looked in the mirror. 

“What in the quiznack.” what stared back at Keith was defiantly not KEITH but it was the female equivalent of him. Her eyes were the same color and her hair was long the bangs were drawn up into this tiny pom on top of her head that Keith recognized from the facial last night and she was lean and beautiful and she had boobs and she seemed to be swimming in the white tank and sweats she wore. 

He touched his hair confused because last night it had been mullet short and the pompom had been fluffier. Then his hands trailed down his thin waist to his sweats, there was no way He had turned into She overnight. He looked into his shorts panicked but there was no penis to grasp. He ran his fingers down his thigh shakily and over his privates sure enough there was two mounds and a slit , not a set of testicles.... SHIT. 

He lifted his shirt the panic increasing and he could see his breasts they were rather large but not unpleasant. They weren’t like glue on fakes... SHIT SHIT 

He needed to find Shiro. 

Keith pulled his shirt down and tried to get the pompom out of his bangs it took him a minute. He knew he it was early no one was up. He ran down the hall hair flying behind him. 

Reaching Shiro’s door he pounded as hard as he could manage. “SHIRO. SHIRO IT’S KEITH.OPEN THE DOOR PLEASE.” But the voice sounded nothing like his own it was soft and girlish and needy on the verge of tears. 

The door opened to Shiro who was shirtless in his sweats rubbing his eye,”Keith it’s 4am what kind of emergency could you possibly be- OH. MY. GOD.” 

Keith is trying not to feel self conscious because he knows how weird this looks. A girl showing up at any door at 4am claiming an emergency means business but for them to claim their the red paladin of Voltron. Now thats looney. 

“Who are you? Where is Keith? How did you get on this ship?” Shiro’s eyes are wide looking around the hallway. “ I am going to kill him.” 

“SHIRO I AM KEITH.”  Keith whines and Shiro looks at him puzzled so Keith says the one thing he knows no one else knows about Shiro,” Before you go to sleep you sing the teapot song!” 

Shiro looks puzzled and then Keith starts to sing it softly,” I’m a little tea pot short and sto-” then there is a warm hand over his mouth and he looks down both ends of the hall to make sure no one is coming before he drags Keith into his room. 

Keith sighs in relief because A) he’s out of the hallway and B) Shiro seems to know what to do when these types of situations arise. 

“ Keith what the hell is going on?” 

“ I GOT BOOBS SHIRO.” Keith scream whispers as he lifts up his shirt and shows his brother the breast under his shirt. 

Shiro panicked pulls down the shirt before he can get that far though and looks at Keith serious,” Keith, You can’t just go around FLASHING people and telling them you got BOOBS.” 

“REALLY SHIRO, Then please explain to me how I receive one facial in my life and I wake up and I have no dick.” Keith Drops his pants and Shiro covers his eyes. 

“Pull your pants up and calm down please.” 

“CALM DOWN? I lose the one eyed snake of brotherhood and you tell me to calm down!!!” Keith is hysterical pulling the pants he was wearing back up. 

“Keith take a deep breath. Well figure this out...Did anything else happen yesterday beside the facial?” Shiro is trying to be rational and reasonable for all of this. Keith tries to think past the warm happy glow of Lance and the facial and then he remembers. 

“E.” 

“E?” 

“While we were on that planet this lady in the woods made this symbol on my neck. I came home and it was gone though. She called herself ‘E’ “ Keith says moving his long hair to touch the spot on his neck. 

“Let me see. Is that a Tatoo?” Shiro asks his voice calm as touches the ink that apparently has reappeared. 

“IT CAME BACK?!?” 

“What do you mean it came back.” 

“I mean it was gone I showered yesterday and It was gone.” Keith wailed his voice honey sweet something he is not used to. He is used to the musky grumble that he associates as his. 

“ Were gunna have to ask Coran...” 

All of a sudden Keith looks down at himself and his breast and the thin waist and he’s afraid. “ What if they don’t like me anymore.” 

“Keith I don’t really think anyones going to care that your a girl.” Shiro reasons. 

“But...Look at me...”  Keith murmurs and Shiro sighs pinching the bridge of his nose. 

“ I’ll wake up Allura and we’ll get you a bra, but your stunning Keith really... Just don’t go taking your shirt off willy nilly anymore okay. You have to practice modesty. For now take my sweater... “  Shiro hands him one of the Large zip up black hoodies he has and Keith puts it on hiding in the sleeves.  Every fiber of his being is worried about what everyone else will think.

Some klance atla fic idea

Okay I found myself thinking of atla and vltron crossover again, and it got me thinking a little. So everybody likes to crossover with these three tv shows (Voltron and ATLA and LOK), usually making keith a firebender and lance a waterbender. Which is understandable because of their lions. But as you know in season 3 they have to switch lions, (Keith to Black and  Lance to Red), so for some reason my brain went "Wouldn't be cool if they're bending abilites in the aus changed also" that was the part that got me thinking. So my addition to this aus is interesting (to me at least) For my rendition (for like a fic idea lol) Lance and Keith actually kind of switch places. Lance will learn fire bending and Keith growing up in the Air Nation (stick with me) As you know Keith and Shiro have a brotherly dynamic or at least Shiro was there for Keith when others weren't so you can't deny their close bond which is why I put Keith in the Air Nation.  Keith is raised in the Western Air Temple which only had women but they made an exception to Keith seeing as he needed to hide (we can't baby keef die now can we?) Since there's a war going on that's the reason why Keith's father  is there, to help the Western air nomads.  Keith's Mom is a Fire bender while his dad is a Air bender. But since the war was going on (the timing of this is completely made up , lol ) Keith's dad decided to leave Keith with his mother and go back to help defend his nation (He didn't abandon  them)   In this Keith's mom is the sister of Ozai (Which will be Zarkon) (Lotor will be Zuko or something) Zarkon now (like he ever wasn't) is trying to destroy everyone (like the air nation *nudge*) Since Keith hasn't shown any bending abilities. Zarkon wants to get rid of him (for some reason). Of course Keith's mom would never let that happen and fled to the Air nation to find her husband. She was able to make in time and explained the situation to Keith's dad. Even though the Air Nation wasn't the safest at the moment it was better than the fire nation. Knowing she would probably not be able to see her son again, she leaves him her necklace (the stone in Keith's knife in vld)  Keith is two when his mom gives him to his dad. Upon returning home Keith's mom was confronted by Zarkon, and upon learning she hid Keith, Zarkon sort of rage kills her (didn't see that coming did ya?~) Lotor happens to see this and is also filled with confusion seeing as he's only 8, and is just like wtf is happending to aunt...whatever her name is. As Lotor grows up he begins to realize the fire nation's true colors, and what really happened that night. Enraged from being tricked his whole life and full of vengeance for his little cousin and deceased aunt he vows to himself to find Keith and keep him safe. When Keith is 5 his dad and almost the whole air nation is annihilated. Keith vows to never to forgive the fire nation.  (This is still in the past) Back in the Air nation Keith is able to grow up to (let's make it 10) he's already made friends with the air benders (he doesn't know that he's fire nation yet~) He's best friends are Pidge (7), Shiro (15) and Matt (14) One day Pidge's dad, Shiro and Matt went MIA when they were scouting (?) the Fire Nation.(They were captured, the dad is dead) They find Sam's body, but that's it. Leaving Pidge and Keith to mourn more of their loses,  this only fuels Keith's hatred more. smol timeskip

Keith (still being in the air nation) gets upset easily since he just can't get air bending down, he along with some of the others think that he doesn't have any bending abilities. So Keith decides to train on something different, his combat skills. He figures out one day when the fire nation attack again (only leaving him and pidge left alive) that his necklace is dangerous (a fire bender almost chokes him with it) so he asks Pidge to help him put it (engrave?) inside of a knife (hence Keith's garla knife). Btw Rover is Appa, or more like Appa is now named Rover, (but Pidge isn't the avatar, lol). (They are 15 & 12 at this point) Keith and Pidge travel on Rover in hopes that they'll find Shiro and Matt one day. timeskip-o (Keith is 18 and Pidge is 15) One of the days they're travelling Rover gets tired and they decide to land on the closest land possible. Unfortunately for them it's all icy there. Rover is warm but you can only do so much against the wind, Keith is mostly fine but Pidge's teeth are clattering. He opts to holding pidge (very platonically). Pidge: "H-How are you s-so warm?" Keith *shrugs* "I don't know, the cold has never really bothered me."  (*belts let it go*)  Pidge looks at him for a moment before letting her thoughts roam. She knew Keith literally since she was born, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be a possibility of him being...She didn't even want to finish that thought. Shaking any thoughts that could form in her head she snuggled closer to her heater of a friend and drifted off to sleep. NOW TIME FOR LANCEY LANCE!! Lance and Allura are really close freinds who act like siblings and Coran is their crazy "uncle". Lance's family much like Allura's got destroyed by the fire nation, making them hate the fire nation. When Lance was 9, Allura 12 the fire nation came to their village killing most of the men, sparing some of the women (if they were non-benders). The water tribe decided to fight back and go fight the fire nation (Much like Sokka's dad did in atla). Allura's dad (Alfor was the head of the water tribe) had died in  combat, along with Lance's father. They mourn and they grow stronger, becoming who they need to be for their tribe. Lance and Allura can waterbend, Allura a lot better than Lance (she picked it up faster) they are two of three left in their tribe who can bend. Coran is the third. Lance is determined to surpass Allura in waterbending and practices frequently, most people see him as laid back or carefree but he cares for the people he loves and will protect them with his life and he can't do that if he doesn't become stronger. His mom, his siblings, his father all gone, because he was to weak to help them fight. So he'll practice and practice to protect the ones that are still here to protect. (*sniff*)  -- (This is where Keith and Lance see each other and the main plot kicks in...sorta)-- Lance is complaining to himself because Allura made him go patrolling by himself, which is fine he can take care of himself but it's really boring. He almost took Coran with him which honestly wasn't really saying anything since Coran was the closest thing Lance had to a friend (besides Allura) not that he minded. Lance is too caught up in thinking when he bumps into to something really soft and huge. Once he recollects himself he practically screams, wait no scratch that Lance does scream. Which alerts Keith and Pidge and within a matter of seconds he finds himself pinned against the ice, air knocked out him. He looks up at his attacker, he's beautiful (insert description of Keith, lol) and then he sees a...knife. Face blanching he quickly knocks the person off of him, and gets into a fighting stance.  He more aware of his surroundings now and notices a girl that's with his attacker, his sister? they don't look alike. His girlfriend maybe? Keith speaks up and asks Lance why he's here, which leads them into bickering with each other.  Lance: "Why wouldn't I be here, this is my territory!?" Keith: "Says who?" Lance: "ME!" Keith: "What are you two?" Lance: "Three and a half actually." Pidge is so done by this point. She had already figured out where her and Keith were, or at least assumed. The boy they have yet to get the name of clothes just confirm that assumption. They were in Water nation territory.  Keith: "You woke us up screaming and scared Rover!"   Lance: "What in the world is a Rover!?"  Pidge: "Are you two done bickering or can we talk, now that we know we won't kill each other?"  Keith & Lance: "NO!" 

(I kind of got stuck, so the rest of this is bits of parts I've planned)

Pidge internally: “These two are idiots”

Pidge finally gets them to calm down (or at least stop bickering) long enough for her to ask Lance his name and what he’s doing out here. Lance is a little skeptical to answer her, like obviously those two pieces of information are too important to just throw around. So Lance asks her question right back at them. Pidge sighs and says they’re from Western Air Temple. Lance is of course still skeptical and asks Pidge to prove it, she does by bending.

Lance looks expectantly over to Keith but he’s avoiding his gaze. Pidge explains that Keith doesn’t have any bending abilities to their knowledge. Lance kind of pities the guy, which bristles Keith a bit, but he doesn’t comment on the look Lance gives him.  Lance eventually introduces himself and tells them that’s he’s from the Southern water tribe.  

Keith mockingly asks him to prove it, to which Lance responds with slapping some (a lot) of water in Keith’s face.

Pidge laughs, Keith looks pissed, Lance looks smug. Pidge and Keith eventually end up following Lance back to the tribe.

  When they get there Lance is immediately "attacked" by Coran, who was crocodile crying into Lance’s shoulder. Saying how he thought he got kidnapped but the Fire nation and would have to come and rescue him. *cue dramatic hero pose*

This made Lance roll his eyes (playfully) he’s about to speak but gets cut off by Allura. Lance is in trouble now. Allura looked scary, he could practically see the dark aura radiating off her body.

Allura: “Where were you?”

Lance: “I was out patrolling like you told me to” he gives her this face that just screams “duh”

Allura: “I know that but why were you gone for so long?”

Lance: “I met these two” he gestures to Pidge and Keith who are standing silently (and Keith awkwardly) behind him.

Immediately Coran tries to intimidate Keith, but it doesn’t work of course.

(This is somewhere after they meet Hunk (earth-bender), and find Shiro and Matt) --In Ba Sing Se--

 Lotor (24) sees a group of people, who look nothing like firebenders, except one. The boy had his black hair tied into a high ponytail, with his bangs down, framing his face. He looks just like...and just like that Lotor finds himself running, leaving his friends confused and shouting behind him.  He found him, he exactly found him. His cousin, Keith.

Lotor: “I found you!” he says as he grips onto Keith’s hand, making Keith and the other’s startle.

Lotor: “I found you Keith.”

Now the rest of them really are on high alert, because not only did this firebender catch them, he also knows who Keith is.

Keith shifting uncomfortably: “Um, who are you?” he’s trying to act like he’s normal (he's failing).

Lotor: “Oh right! I guess you wouldn’t remember me since the last time we meet you were like two” Lotor mumbles the last part, but they hear him just fine.

Shirp steps in putting a hand on keith's shoulder: “May I ask who you are?”

Lotor senses the hostility their sending his way, but that was to be expected, he was a stranger to them after all.

Lotor: “I am Prince Lotor, Keith’s cousin”

The group is in shock and look over to Keith who is also in shock.

Keith: “B-But I don’t have any cousins, my dad never had any siblings”

Lotor’s face softens: “But your mother did, I’m sorry Keith.”

Keith stepped back from Lotor, and let the information sink in. His mom was a firebender, from the fire nation, and the sister of the firelord no less. He was a prince (would Keith be a prince?).

A fire nation prince. Keith’s face blanched, it made sense now. Why he was always warm, why he couldn’t bend air like Pidge or his father, because he that was only half of who he was. He was a firebender. Keith’s mouth was opening and closing like a fish’s. He felt like he was going to throw up.

 Suddenly a group of firebendy-soldiers found them, Lotor cursed under his breath, and started to fight them.

Lotor: “You guys leave, I’ll hold them off!”

The gang was skeptical but didn’t need to be told twice and ran for it, unfortunately the it seemed like the fire nation had some earthbenders on their side, and the gang found themselves falling into a hole.

Hunk was able to part ways in the rocks and make a passage for them. Luckily it seems the earth and firebenders didn’t follow them in and if they did then they didn’t know where they are at least.   

 *Back to Lotor who isn’t able to fend them all off and the floor collapses beneath Keith and the gang*

 Lotor: “No!” he screams as he sees Keith’s face disappear from sight. He found him and now he lost him.

Lotor to himself: “I can’t even save the person I promised to protect”

The rest of his team catches up and sees Lotor’s face, they know now that something happened and they were too late.

Keith is gone from Lotor’s sight once again.

 *They’re stuck in a cave, Hunk fell asleep because of the panic and exhaustion*

 Allura: “You’re a firebender? Not to mention a prince?!” not really a question. Allura looks betrayed and pissed.

Keith: “I swear I didn’t know” his eyes are downcasted.

Allura: “How could you not know!?”

Shiro and Matt touch Allura’s shoulder, hoping to comfort her but she shrugs them off.

Keith is silent, after all what can he say? He knew his mother left him went he was a baby, and he knew his dad was keeping something from him when he was alive. Now he finally knew his secret.

Everyone stares expectantly at Keith when he still doesn’t answer.

Keith shrinks away from everyone’s eyes it feels like he’s in a lion’s den and he’s slowly being eaten alive by their looks alone.

Keith looked at Pidge who also had to look to her, like she’d knew all along but also pitied him, and it kind of pissed him off.

Shiro and Matt both looked confused, but not angry, so that was a bonus.

Allura was straight out glaring and Lance had yet to even make eye contact with him.

It hurt.

Allura: “Did you trick us this whole time?”

Silence.

Allura: “Hoping that you could gain our trust then kill us off?”

Keith: “What?”

Allura: “Or maybe you were planning to make us your personal slaves, was that it?”

Keith: “No! I would ne-”

It didn’t matter how much Keith tried to explain he didn’t know, Allura just came back with another ludicrous accusation, and maybe it would’ve hurt less if the rest of his friends weren’t letting her do it.

Lance finally looked at him, his face was hard and devoid of emotion, but his eyes looked like he was sad, they looked like he was in pain.

Lance’s eyes had always captivated Keith, ever since the first day he meet the tan boy, but right now the pained blue orbs felt like they were piercing into him, but he can’t help to look at them. It’s like he’s drowning, he can feel his body shaking, and his breath start to quicken as he tries holding onto his consciousness. The only thing he can see is Lance’s eyes, and for a moment he thought he saw worry flash across them.   

Lance taking a step forward: “Keith are y-”

And Keith blackouts. [There should be some sort of moment where Lance sticks up for Keith when's he's unconscious] Welp, this is all I got, feel free to add more, or write it if you're interested. Just credit and link it back to me if you do ^0^/
