Family

This is like six months after S4 because that is the only thing that fits.

"-My Abuela, she makes the best food and I can never get enough of it. When I do she still makes me eat ten times as much!"

"My mum is the same!"

"Oh yeah your mum rocks, Hunk!"

"She helped me learn how to cook"

"My mum is a great cook but my dad.... Matt got his cooking skills from him"

"Hey! I'm not that bad!" 

"Yeah right!"

"I'm not as bad a Shiro!"

"I resent that! I don't deny it but I resent it! My grandmother did most of our cooking. I was trying to get good grades and get into the Garrison"

"The maids did the cooking"

"Which was a good thing because Alfor.,... he wasn't a bad cook but he wasn't good either"

"But if you did the cooking then the castle would have burned down"

"It would not have!"

Keith's lip quirked. Everyone was talking about their families. It was pretty entertaining. Lance had a huge family who he talked about very fondly. Hunk was adopted. He had a little sister and two mums who both seemed pretty cool. Probably where Hunk got his personality from. Pidge and Matt would rant about their parents seeming so bittersweet. Shiro's mother and grandmother were pretty nice. Shiro used to talk about them at the Garrison as well. 

Keith sighed quietly. The people at his primary school used to run up to their parents and hug them. Then they walked home holding their hands. Keith had jumped from foster home to foster home and when he wasn't in a foster home he was at the Orphanage. He wondered how most of the people in the Foster care system even got in. He really would not recommend them to anyone even his worst enemy. When he was fifteen he was able to get in the Garrison and run off from the family that kept them. They did not mind the slightest obviously, He'd pretty much given up at getting a good family when he was ten. He had one of the more worst families he had ever met. He really did not want to think about them.

"Hey, Grumpy guts!" Lance shouted.

Keith raised an eyebrow.

"How come you never talk about your family?" Lance asked.

Keith felt chills. He was hoping no one would bring that up. His eyes widened and he looked away and shrugged.

"I don't know..." he mumbled.

"Come on!" Everyone shouted.

Keith then closed his eyes.

"Okay... I'm sort of adopted-"

"Sort of?" Lance asked.

"I'll stop talking," Keith said and Pidge elbowed Lance who yelped.

"Okay so I have four sort of brother and two sort of sisters. And an uncle. We all lived in one place..."

"How were you're siblings like?" Shiro asked interested. He had never heard anything about Keith's family but didn't push.

"Well my oldest brother is a horrible cook but he's pretty cool. He likes keeping everyone in line but is pretty much a dork. My second brother is really kind and helpful but has no sense of privacy what-so-ever. My eldest sister likes pretty stuff but will literally kick your ass if you mess with her. My other brother is pretty much the glue of the family and loves jokes and stuff. My youngest sister seems like she is sarcastic and done but she's super nice and clever. My other other brother is a total nerd. And my uncle is pretty much super friendly and understanding but he can come off as eccentric"

"They sound lovely," Allura smiled.

"When we go back to Earth you make sure you'll make us meet them!" Lance said.

Everyone went back talking. Keith was left to his thoughts and listening when he felt as if someone was staring at him. He looked and saw Pidge who eyebrows were creased. Keith was confused.

After an hour one by one everyone left. Keith and Pidge were last. Keith was about to go when suddenly someone tackled him making him lose his balance. He looked to see Pidge who was crying in his shirt. Keith put his arm around her and smiled.

Pidge looked up and smiled back not breaking the hug. It was nice.
