More Than What Meets The Eye

All's Fair in Love and War, Except For Matt

Hey guys... I'm really sorry for not updating for over a month! I've just been caught up in school work. Anyways, so chapters are now going to be in the 1000 word range instead of 2000 because it's easier and I'm able to get chapters out faster. Hopefully.

It had been little more than a movement since incident and somethings were a bit... tense between Krolia and Keith, Lotor too whenever he was on base if ever. Currently Keith was heading down to the bases hangar. He, Thace, and Krolia where heading to the rebel base Keith's father, Ryou was stationed at. Thace was only coming to keep an eye one the kit and his mother. Krolia wasn't very happy about Keith vouching for his sister who had betrayed the Blade, though her reason for leaving was understandable doesn't mean that it was called for. At least to Krolia it was the case.

"How long till we get there?" asked Keith. "About another Varga," answered Thace he had been the one to pilot the ship seeing how it was better idea than having Krolia do it and Thace refused to let the kit pilot after what happened at Naxela and when Keith had went to retrieve Krolia. Krolia hadn't pilot a ship in the past 5 deca-pheebs so she was a bit rusty with the controls, she was used to the Empire's controls rather than the Blade's. "What if he asks about Axca though? I highly doubt that he's heard," said Krolia. "You can cross that bridge when you get there. There are many ways this could have been avoided but you obviously didn't listen to her," said Thace, sick of Krolia worrying. "Excuse me? You were with her when you were undercover, you could've talked to her!" she exclaimed. "Can you two not argue? This is no one's fault, stop pinning on eachother, this was her choice!" yelled Keith. He was sick of both of their arguing. Both looked adults looked and quieted, going back to what they were originally doing.

It was a little bit before they got to the base and Keith had another scolding at the adult to behave making seem as he was the adult and they were the kits. After finding out about his DNA most became a bit scared of him, knowing how Galran-Vyreans are when it comes to strength. The base was aware that they would becoming and what made it interesting was that Matt was currently stationed their. They were greeted by Matt and Ryou, no surprise there. "Hey Keith! Long time no see, how have you been?" said Matt coming up to hug Keith. "Wait, you two already know each?" intervened Ryou, surprised that his son already knew one of the many rebels to such an extent. "Yeah dad, we went to the Garrison together," stated Keith. Krolia walked up to Ryou hugging him and cupping his face, "Ryou it's been deca-pheobs, I missed you," she said kissing the top of her husband's head. "Indeed it has, I've missed you too," he replied hugging back. "Get a room, you two!" yelled Matt from their left. "Oh shush, child. You would do the same if you haven't seen your significant other in seventeen years!" argued Krolia. Keith and Ryou laughed at their antics. Matt looked down at Keith, being the taller of the two, "Does she call everyone child?". "No, just me, you, and our friends. It her eyes, and if I'm honest every other Blade member her age or older, we're kits," he replied. "But everyone, but Pidge and Lance, are adults," "Not by Galran or Vyrean terms. Speaking of which, how Vyrean are you?" Keith asked his father. "I'm only half, making you only a fourth Vyrean," Ryou answered. "Your parents are weird," whispered Matt. "I know, but, hey, they amazing,". Matt raised an eyebrow at him, "Okay both might have left me at a young age, but they had their reasons. I'd rather grow up without my biological parents than in war," said Keith shrugging his shoulders, "I don't blame you,". "I take we should head to the Castle? I know the Black Paladin wanted to have quite the talk once you were free," intervened Thace. Matt and Keith exchanged nervous looks, of course they knew what he meant by talk and it wasn't good.
Keith and Matt were in the back of the ship conversing. "I'm surprised he never said anything about your sister," "That's what I'm scared of Matt. I don't know how to explain the situation to him and I don't want my mom to," "Keith, you don't have to. Maybe we could have Lotor do it? You said he'd be at the castle today, didn't you? He knows more about it than either of us," suggested Matt. "I guess we could try,".

Matt was pretending to gag the whole ride to the Castle because Keith's parents were being sickenly sweet, too Matt at least. "We're here," said a slightly annoyed Thace because of Krolia's and Ryou's loveyness. "Finally!" exclaimed Matt, free from the adults loveyness. "Keith, why can't except the fact me and your father missed each other?" "Mom, that's not the problem. You and dad are a bit too lovey for Matt to handle," Krolia rolled her eyes at her son's answer "You kits will never understand love," "We're kits, what do you expect?" Keith said running out of the hanger to meet up with Matt and the others. Krolia shook her head at her kits antics. "Leave 'em be. They're still young let them enjoy themselves," Ryou said walking over to his wife, wrapping an arm around her waist. "You're right. I guess you should go follow Keith, I'm sure Shiro's where Keith is heading," said Krolia kissing his head.

"Hey guys," said Keith waving to Coran and the Paladin's. Like Keith had said, Lotor was also there conversing with Allura over battle strategy over those part of the old Empire and Haggar. "Oh Keith, nice to see you again," smiled Lotor upon seeing Keith. "Is your father here? I'd like to talk to him," asked Shiro who looked quite... angry. "I'm right here Takashi," said Ryou entering the room. "You're coming with me, we need to discuss somethings," said Shiro leaving the room to another section of the castle, Ryou followed knowing it was better to listen to Shiro even though he was half his age. "Sh-should we be scared?" asked a very nervous Lance. "Only if we hear yelling," answered Keith.
