More Than What Meets The Eye

Seriously Don't. It's Not Safe For Him To Fight. Really Shiro?!

" Keith don't even think about it," said Lance. "But Pidge got to look for her family!" said Keith. If had the chance to find his father he would take it. " But you're still injured and we don't even know where to start!" argued Lance. "Actually I still am able to contact him. So I can ask where his at the dobosh," said Ezern wanting to help Keith find his family or at least his father. She had heard about Keith's situation from when he was younger. " But they're right. You still need to heal but I'll contact him soon and talk to him about meeting you,". Keith groaned. Of course, he couldn't look for his father, he was injured and couldn't even train with the others. " Keith don't worry, we'll find your dad," said Shiro putting a comforting hand on Keith. " Wait so his dad isn't dead?" said Hunk. "Did you think was?" asked Shiro. "Kinda. Keith never really liked talking about family and even after finding out his mom was Galra he still avoided talking about his dad," said Hunk.

Shortly after the call, they had gotten a callback. " Keith I was able to contact Ryou and he said he would contact the castle. I can send you his contact code if you'd like," said Ezern. " That would be great. Thanks for the help," Said Shiro. Ezern nodded and end the call. Shiro was already contacting Mr. Kogane. When he answered Keith looked like he was going to cry at any moment. " Mr. Kogane is that really you?" Shiro Asked. He was so wary of if it was truly him, he had been gone for twelve years after all. "Shiro? Keith? What are you two doing here," Asked Mr. Kogane wanting to know why his son and son's friend are in space. " Why the F*** did you leave!" Yelled Shiro, " You left him alone for 12 years! 12 YEARS!". " TAKASHI SHIROGANE! You listen here, you would have done the same if you wanted to keep your child safe. Keith was able to live as a human because the fact Vyrean DNA is weaker than human and Galran DNA. If I could have stayed or brought Keith with me I would of!" argued Mr. Kogane.

" Shiro I knew why he left. Please stop yelling at him. You don't even know his reason," pleaded Keith. He was crying now, " I knew why he left. He had a reason. My dad couldn't stay long seeing how he wasn't human. I may not have known that he was Vyrean or that my mom was Galran but I knew that he wasn't fully human,". Keith might not have known what species his parents were but he knew that they both weren't truly human. " But Keith he left you-" Shiro cut himself off. He realized that of course, he had to leave behind. They were in the middle of a war. Who would bring a child into the thrust of war? " I'm sorry. You're right, I was wrong to judge you. We're in the middle of a war, no should put their child in the middle of a war," said Shiro unable to look into Mr. Kogane's eyes.

After the call things were a bit tense between Keith and the others. Matt approach Keith, " So wait, you always knew that you weren't fully human? Why didn't you ever say anything earlier?" asked Matt. Keith was honestly surprised by the question. He thought that they would have brushed it off. " Yeah, Keith! It wouldn't have changed the way we think of you." Said Pidge. " I wasn't sure how you'd all react. I wasn't even sure on what I was a hybrid of, so didn't want to say something I'm not sure myself about. It's just that when I found out that I was Galran, I was scared to find out anything else," mumbled Keith. " Hey the only reason we would ever look down on you is because of your stupid mullet," comforted Lance while Pidge kicked his shins. "Don't be mean to the emo child. He's injured and just saw his father after 12 years!" Said Pidge playfully punch Lance. Lance joined in, play fighting with Pidge. Keith started laughing at their antics, then Pidge randomly pulled out her bayard and stabbed Lance with it. " I was defeated by the Pidgeon!" yelled Lance falling to the floor in pain. Matt started laughing at them. "Guys please stop, we don't need to be fighting," said Hunk.

Shortly after the little battle between Lance and Pidge, the alarm went off. " Paladins get to your Lions, there's an attack by a nearby planet!" Yelled Coran over the comms. " Let me come with! You'll need the help and there aren't any Blade Outposts in the area that will get here soon enough." Said Keith following Shiro. " No! You're here to that you can fully recover. I don't have time to argue! I need to go," Said Shiro running towards the Black Lion. Keith watched as they left. 'How am I suppose to help now?' thought Keith. He realized that Shiro never locked the hanger to where his ship was being held. He headed to his ship getting ready to help.

They were all surrounded by the fighter pods and were having trouble taking them down. Allura noticed that Keith's ship was out fighting an army of the pods. "Shiro we have a problem, Keith is also fighting," said Allura. Shiro was beyond outraged. He was upset with himself too because he never locked the hanger to keep Keith out. Making a connection to Keith's ship he managed to call him. "Keith I told you to stay back, this is to dangerous for you in your condition!" yelled Shiro. " I don't care, I don't want to just stand back and watch you get hurt!" argued Keith. Oh was this boy getting on Shiro's nerves.

Shiro managed to block a few blasts that had been aimed at Keith before dealing with the ones aimed at him. Sadly this caused Keith to be unable to get one aim at him causing him to be blasted from the back. " Keith!" yelled Shiro. Oh great how was he going to explain this to Kolivan and even worse Keith's dad. Luckily the other ships were almost gone but they needed to finish them before getting to Keith. " Keith you can't be doing this, you'll get yourself hurt even worse," said Shiro at the brink of tears. Keith and Shiro had always been close and Shiro felt as if it was his job to protect Keith. " I know, but you were in trouble and it hurts to just stand back and watch." Said Keith. He felt really bad now for going against Shiro's wishes.

When the got back to the castle Shiro immediately looked over Keith's injuries, wanting to make sure his adopted brother was okay and in one piece. Luckily all Keith had was a sprained wrist. " I'm sorry Takashi, I didn't mean to get hurt!" Cried, Keith. It hurt Shiro to see him crying. He hugged him not letting go wanting to comfort Keith. Letting him know it's okay.

Allura walked in to check on the two. " Are you two going to be okay?" Asked Allura hoping the two are okay and hoping Keith's injuries weren't too bad. "Here have these they will help with the pain," Said Allura handing Keith a glass of water and altean painkillers. He took them and drank the water. " Thanks," mumbled Keith. " Keith it's okay to take breaks and ask for help," comforted Allura, hugging Keith while rubbing his back. Keith was like the younger brother she never had.

It stayed like that for awhile, Shiro and Allura hugging Keith. Hunk walked in, " Hey Guys, Kolivan and Ulaz are calling to check on Keith," informed Hunk. Shiro and Allura nodded, Allura whispered something to Keith about staying in him medical bay and resting. He nodded and lied down, trying to sleep.

When they got to the bridge they had explained what had happened earlier to Kolivan and Ulaz. " I'm so sorry. I should have made sure he stayed," said Shiro. " Calm yourself, we understand. You weren't aware that he would go so far," said Kolivan trying to calm down the upset paladin. "I know but-," he was cut off by Ulaz, "Shiro stop blaming yourself, it's not your fault! It's not anyone's fault," yelled Ulaz. Shiro nodded. He couldn't blame himself for something he couldn't stop. "Just keep him from getting hurt anymore," said Kolivan. They all nodded and ended the call. After the call, they all went off to do their own thing.

It was some time and Shiro was in his room still blaming himself for Keith's injuries. Someone had knocked on his door, "Come in!" yelled Shiro. " Hey, Shiro. Don't be upsetti have some spaghetti," said Lance walking it handing Shiro some weird space version of spaghetti. Shiro thanked him. " Like Ulaz and Kolivan said, stop blaming yourself. This is nothing you could have stopped. While all take our part in helping Keith. Anyways, how is he?" asked Lance, worried about his honorary brother. " Asleep, but he said he's not a sore as earlier and I know. It still feels like my fault. It's was my job to look after Keith while we were at the Garrison and even now.

They talked for awhile. Lance talking about things he said that could help Keith and Shiro talked about how he had first met Keith. " We had been fostering him for about 8 months before our parents asked how he would feel if my parents adopted him. When he found out we were adopting him Keith starting smiling and hugging our parents, thanking them. He was so happy to finally to have a family, I knew I was happy to have a brother," explained Shiro. Lance smiled, happy to hear that Keith at one point was happy constantly. " We should be heading to bed soon, I guess I'll see you the morning," said Lance getting up to leave. " I guess. See you in the morning," said Shiro. Lance grabbed their plates and walked of waving bye to Shiro. He waved back and decided to get ready for bed.
