*Y/N's POV*

I woke up with a thud. I groan and hold my head. Somehow, I fell off of my bed, head first. Then my body fell backwards and it hurts. After some time, it feels okay and I sit up and stretch.

I look at the time, it's 5:37 in the morning. I stand up and walk out of the room. I run into Keith and I catch myself from falling, catching Keith from falling also.

"Sorry!" I say and he just nods and straightens up. He looks away and I become concerned. "Is anything bothering you?" I ask him. He just sighs and looks at me straight in the eyes.

"Um... Since you told us something about you... I am not also entirely human..." Keith said. I was getting what he was saying, he was a furry!

"Your a furry! Do you have ears? Do you have a tail?" I start bombarding him with questions. I see a pink tint on his face. My face also heats up and I just smile. He rubs his arm nervously and I decide to tell him I know.

"I know" I say and he looked at me. His eyes widened and he sifted uneasily.

"You know? U-Um about what?" Keith said, rubbing his arm again.

"About you being part Galra" I told him and his eyes widened.

"How did you know?" He asked me and I just smiled.

"You saying that you weren't entirely human, I got the idea" I said and he just nodded. He looks so hand- WAit what?! I did not just say that. Pffft. I would never say anything like that.

"I'm okay with you being part Galra. And I bet everyone else will too. If they don't accept you for some reason, you are always welcome to come hang out with me and clear things up" I crack a smile, cracking my knuckles. He just stares at me.

"Im scared" He asks. I tilt my head in confusion. Scared of what?

"Scared of what?" I repeat my thought. He just sighs and cracks a smile.

"You. That image... is terrifying. Someone cracking their knuckles while smiling... Spitting image of the Devil" He says and I just glare at him. He just laughs it off and my glare softens. That Laugh- No! Get out of my head! You stupid thoughts! I blink twice when I see Keith waving his hand in my face. I blink and back up a little bit, a little of pink tinting my cheeks.

"Sorry. Did you just say something?" I ask him. He just shakes his head.

"Wanna go star gazing?!" He asks excitedly. I just laugh and nod my head. A smile forms on his face. I soon find myself smiling to. What is happening to me? He suddenly grabs my hand and drags me somewhere. We walk out of the Castle and sit down on the Grass. We stare at the stars for what seemed like hours but was only a few minutes.

I look at a direction as I hear footsteps. I see Lance walk up to us and lays down by me. I scoot closer to Keith and he glares at Lance.

"So... What brings you out here Lance?" I ask him. He doesn't move his gaze from the stars, he seems so transfixed.

"I just can't sleep... I miss my Family and all..." He stated. I sighed and fixed my gaze to the stars.

"I know they are okay, they're doing just fine. I can't wait to see them look at you with relief and happiness as you come back to Earth" I say as I understand how he feels. I miss my Family and all but I moved on, he misses his family but his family is still alive, that's the only difference.

"How do you cope with your parents?" He asks. Keith just glares at which I smile, telling him it's okay.

"I accepted their deaths. I accept that they are dead and can't be brought back to life. I think of them for strength, for strength in dire times of need. When I do, I feel like I can keep going. And I blame myself for giving up, for not trying anymore. But I know that my parents are here, in my heart, cheering me on" I tell him. I look at him and I see tears going down his face. He smiles and wipes the tears.

"Your right..." He says which causes me to smile. "Thank you for the pep talk..." He says as he sits up, I follow suit. He hugs me and I hug back. He backs up and begins to walk away.

"Lance..." I said as he stopped in his tracks as he looked behind his shoulder. "I'm glad I could help" I say and he smiles, walking away and disappears as he walks in a door. I look over at Keith to see him sitting up and staring at me. He doesn't seem to notice me looking at him or if he did, he's doing nothing about it.

"Y/N... I need comfort myself" He says. I laugh and scoot closer to him, only inches away. I put my arm around his shoulders and pull him onto me.

"Okay, baby Keith" I tease him as I smile. He looks away from me. I can see his cheeks are tinted red and he's pouting. We stay like that for a little bit longer before I feel a limp sleeping boy in my arms. I smile as I carefully pick him up, not waking him. I carry him inside the castle and lay him on the couch. I put a blanket over him that was once hanging on the back of the couch. I sit on another couch. I look at him sleeping. My cheeks go rosy red as I think about how peaceful he looks when he is sleeping. My face goes red as I look away from him, embarrassment clearly all over my face.

I sigh and lay down on the couch and soon fall asleep again.
