*age 4*
"A man's gotta be tough. You ain't no momma's boy, Keith."
"...Momma's gone." Keith mumbles.
"Don't you think I know that? Get in the damn house." His father says and Keith turns and walks to the house, going as fast as his small legs will carry him.
"Gots to be tough." He mumbles to himself. He goes to the mirror he has in his tiny room. He looks at his arms, his stomach, his legs.
"Not tough. Fat." He grumbles, poking the baby fat on his stomach. He'll be tough one day, he knows it.
*age 7*
"5 more, Keith. You want it dont you? To be tough?" His father asks as Keith struggles with his sit ups. Keith lets out a growl and finishes his sit ups.
"Atta boy. "
*age 11*
"Thats Keith...he doesnt talk to anyone." A girl whispers
"But he's super hot. I heard he started working out when he was 7."
"Makes sense, he's alot stronger than the other boys. And if you think he's hot why dont you ask him on a date?"
Keith listens silently, waiting for the stupid girl to try and speak to him. Love makes you weak is what his father's always said. Keith will not be weak.
"H-hey, Keith," The girl says.
"What do you want?" Keith says.
"I uh was wondering, would you wanna go out sometime?"
"No."
The girl walks away and Keith continues his work.
*age 14*
"All A's again, Keith. Good job, smart and strong; just the way I raised you"
"Thank you, sir."
"Now go to your room and finish up you're homework."
"Yes, sir."
Keith's life had always been this way: yes sir, no sir, his life had little love. Till he met her.
*age 16*
Keith walks into the Garrison and sees a guy, the prettiest guy he's ever seen. And next to him, a girl. A really pretty girl. Both had chocolate brown hair, but the girl was pale and the guy's skin was sun kissed and beautiful. He was looking at the list for the days simulation. But the girl was talking to a friend. This is where he met her. Anne. This is where he met him. Lance.
*age 17*
"Fine! I dont need this stupid school anyways! First you get rid of my girlfriend now me? Ya know what, fuck you, Iverson!" Keith yells shoving his clothes into his duffle bag with his other personal belongings. As he storms out of his room he notices the startling blue eyes. Lance. He turns to the boy. "Enjoy my spot, cargo pilot. Its the only reason you're moving back up to fighter pilot." With that he walks off and out of the building. He pulls out his phone and calls someone.
*age 18*
Keith runs out the shabby run down house crying. He gets overwhelmed with a feeling, like a tug. He walks for God knows how long and finds a small house. Its filled with papers and maps. Keith spends all day looking at it till he pin points a cave thats been circled on multiple maps. He reads the news clippings about Shiro, the Garrison and looks at a few things in a different language. He puts them in his bag and heads out with a map to find the cave. If Keith had known what he would find and how he'd end up now, would he still gone? Hell yes he would.
(Here it is! Keith's story. Hope its ok. Now, onto the fluff! Unless you guys want allura and coran too? Let me know!)
