I'm A Monster (Reader x Keith)

18: The Fourth Wall

Your Point of View

The rest of the able team, still at the castle, have finally agreed to let me walk around.

Coran gave me a little necklace. If anything happens to me, all I have to do is tap three times on the crystal pendant and it will signal anyone's bracelet where I am and that I need help.

I think it's a little ridiculous but I'm thankful that he cared enough to make such a thing.

He has three waiting for Allura, Pidge and Keith for when they get back from their mission. And two more for Shiro and Sparien when they fully heal.

Supposedly it's reversible as well, the others tap their crystals three times and all others are alerted. You can also change it so it can be on silent mode and it vibrates, or pulse mode where it sends a small shock into the area of your body touching the crystal, thus eliminating noise completely. I wonder how long it took him to make these?

I worry about Keith and the others a lot. Coran says they check in often, but I can't find the right time to be there when they do. He says Keith worries about me as well, and also gets aggravated by not picking the right time to see me.

The mission is taking them longer than usual. It's been a few movements (Weeks)....... I'm still not told any information about it though...... Whenever I ask if they're doing anything dangerous, Coran just brushes off my question and says they're safe. He's been pissing me off with that but I can't do anything about it, sadly.

Lance has avoided me since our talk. He says hi if we see each other but quickly walks away. I think he's trying to limit interactions with me until he's over his feelings? I can understand it so I'm not too offended.

I aimlessly wander the castle. It feels so empty with just us four around. Even emptier because Lance is avoiding me. Coran and Hunk are great, but the liveliness of Lance made things manageable without everyone.

I pull out a phone that Pidge made for me. No messages. I'd imagine so. The people in the castle have no reason to text me and the people on the mission don't even have their phones.

I open up a reading app. It's called Pattwad. Wait... no... it's called Wattpad. I search up Keith Voltron just to see if some crazed fan of the voltron team wrote some fan fiction.

.......holy shit........

There's a lot more than I thought there would be......

I scroll down the never ending page of fan fiction about Keith. I didn't realize that Voltron, especially Keith, had such a big fan base like this?

They all seem so interesting but one in particular catches my eye. I don't know why... I just feel strongly about it.

I tap on it. It's called, "I'm A Monster (Reader x Keith)"

I start to read a bit, going through the chapters and occasional authors notes....
And........

Why is it........

Uhm...... it's..... exactly like.....

My situation with Keith....

It could just be a coincidence.... So I continue reading on.

Are these.... the things I missed, now that I realize this is my situation with Keith? The things I didn't experience because I wasn't there or that person?
