Keith closed the small 'journal', wrapping the leather strap around in a fit of frustration. "gODDAMMIT!" he yelled, exasperated. His cheeks seared a deep red.

Footsteps came rushing down the hall,

Thunk, thunk, thunk.

Keith turned his head towards his door already knowing the paladins familiar foosteps. The slight creaking of his metal arm as he heard is rapped against the steel of the door.

He remained silent, The other paladin came in anyway. "Keith.... You okay?"

"No...." He looked to his lap, gloved hands curled into fists.

Shiro sighed walking over to the red paladin a comforting, fatherly almost, hand rested on Keith's shoulder. "Keith... Tell me the truth."

He bit his lip, "when was I ever... Okay?.... Takashi..... I don't know what to do...." Keith tasted metal, his lip was bleeding. The small splotches of purple dazzled his skin, almost instictively he scratched at his neck and arms. He felt the scars. All of the pain that gained nothing in return.

He heard the Black Paladin sigh, "I guess you're right about that Kogane... But you should tell him, it'll make you feel better."

"If will but.... What if he doesn't like me back.... What if.... We can't be friends anymore...." tears streamed down his speckled face.

"Keith, why would that happen? You both love each other. Lance loves you for who you are. And that's Keith.. So Tell him already." Shiro smiled, rubbing Keith's back.

"Yeah... I should."
