Blind!Reader x Keith

You loved him, everything about him. The way he looked at you, like you meant everything to him. The way his eyes sparkled after a particularly rewarding training session. The determination he showed during battle, a smirk on his face as took down enemy after enemy. You would always catch yourself watching him from afar, the way he moved seeming to entrance you in every way
Just watching him was enough to make you happy, seeing how he interacts with the world. It all came to an end though when you were paired for a mission. You and Keith had to sneak onto a Galra ship, meet with Pidge to steal some information about their future plans, and get out as fast as you could. Infiltrating the ship was the easy part, but getting out unnoticed proved to be much more difficult. You were right behind Keith as you fled from a group of soldiers, so close to his lion you could practically taste it. That's when everything turned from hopeful to devastating. An explosion went off right beside you, throwing you to the ground with a violent force that caused you to black out.
Days later you woke up from the cryopod, smelling the fresh air inside the Castle of Lions. You heard the voices of your friends surround you, different arms enveloping you in different embraces, each one thankful you were alright. They tried to talk about the mission, or at least get some kind of reaction out of you, but you didn't respond. You were instead staring off in the distance, reaching up to touch your eye and feeling if it was open. Your finger made contact with a glassy surface, one you knew very well from the daily use of contacts. Yes, your eye was open, but why couldn't you see?
"I think I need to go back in," you said, to the shock of your teammates.
"What? No that's impossible, you should be all healed now," Allura's voice rang out from your left, concern laced in her tone.
You turned towards her direction, feeling tears well up in your eyes, "Allura I can't see. I can't see anything, it's all black! I need to go back in!"
You heard her gasp, the clicking of her shoes indicating she was walking towards you. Her scent appeared in front of you as her hand gripped your shoulder, pulling you closer to her. She placed her hand on your chin, forcing you to look up at her, "Oh no... (y/n), your eyes. If the cryopod couldn't fix this before, it won't be able to now... I'm so sorry."
You felt a tear run down your cheek, a sob getting caught in your throat. What did she mean she was sorry? You were going to get your sight back, you needed to get your sight back. You needed to see Keith, at least one last time. All the curves and angles of his face, the smile he gave you when you did something stupid, the way he furrowed his brow when he was concentrating. You needed to see it all, but instead you were stuck in this lasting darkness you couldn't escape.
"What!?" Keith snapped from your right, "What do you mean it can't fix it? There's gotta be something we can do, she can't be blind forever!"
You felt Allura's comforting presence leave you, "Keith, if the cryopod didn't fix it, nothing can. Trust me, she's one of our best fighters. If I could fix it I would in a heartbeat."
"This is all your fault! If you didn't make her go on this stupid mission with us she wouldn't have been hurt!"
A silence fell over the room, his loud footsteps echoing towards the door. You reached out, hoping to catch his sleeve to stop him, but missed completely. Even so, his steps came to a halt in front of you. Taking a shaky breath, you wiped the tears on your cheeks with the back of your sleeve, "Keith this isn't her fault, it's not anyone's but the Galra who threw the bomb. So please, don't blame her for something that can't be fixed. I'll... I'll be fine. I'll learn to deal with it, to fight with it. I know you're scared babe- trust me, I am too -but it will all work itself out."
"(y/n), you can't see a thing!"
"I can handle it. I'll get used to it, learn to adapt," you reached for his arm, latching yours around it, "Now, could you please lead me to my room. I... I think I need to be alone right now."
From that day forward he was always by your side, helping you find your way around the castle and any new planet you came across. For the first month or so you just felt like a burden, unable to help and unable to defend yourself, but as time inched forward you found yourself getting more and more independant. Hunk had fashioned you a cane you found quite useful, and in no time you had memorized the castle's layout.
After two months you began training once again, this time learning to use your other senses to your advantage. You listened to footsteps, payed attention to the various different scents in the air, and went with your intuition as you fought. It was a rocky road at first, getting thrown around like a potato sack nearly every day, but you kept going. Keith couldn't help but admire your determination.
Finally, you were deemed fit enough to rejoin the fight, and the next time you boarded a Galra ship all hell broke loose. Your attacks were stronger than ever, fueled by a fury no other could replicate. They were going to pay for what they did to your eyes. They were going to pay for stealing your happiness away.
