Hidden Meanings

Don't Stop [Klance]

[[ testing it out. maybe ooc? idk, it's really short. uuuuuuuhhhh... Voltron spoilers. also not really all Klance, just Keith's feelings. ]]

How is he supposed to react?

Who will hate him? Allura, right? The Galra had taken away Pidge's family, so she might hate him too. Hunk, maybe. Shiro's accepting, but...

There's one other person that Keith's scared to face. 

Lance.

Someone that somehow spins his world, like he's the sun. His smiles, his actions, his words. It doesn't matter if Lance is flaunting, flirting, or just being Lance, but every time Keith looks at him, something is off.

He runs his fingers along the edge of the Galra blade, the blade of Mamoru. 

"The blade can only be truly activated if you have Galra blood in your veins."

Please don't hate me.

Keith always has been alone. He knows. 

I know. I know I'm alone, I know that I'm not a good person, I know that they can be better off without me. 

I know I don't have a real family. 

The Galra blade slips out of his fingers, clattering to the floor. The hazy blue-purple of the engraving glows softly, pulsing and throbbing. 

This is going to change how people view me. 

He couldn't let them realize that. He couldn't let them know that he's weak. This world doesn't need a Paladin who's weak- the Red Lion needs to respect him, and weakness wasn't an option. 

And good god, Lance. If he knows... will he be disgusted? Never look at him again?

Will he never smile at Keith again? 

He needs that smile. It's Keith's happiness, the thing that he looks forward to when he drags himself up every day to keep fighting Zarkon. 

He can't lose it. Keith can't lose it. 

Please don't abandon me. I can't be weak, I won't be weak... but... I need you guys.
