Royal Bloods (A Kallura FanFiction)

-8 Keith's POV

Everyone's been avoiding me for the last few quintants- days whatever I should say, especially Allura. I have no idea what's going on but I'm starting to get worried. Did I do something maybe? Have some cloning aliens infiltrated Earth or something? I sighed in frustration and Cosmo snuggled into my chest. "Thanks buddy." I said and he barked. "Ugh, I have nothing to do!" I mumbled. Hmm, maybe I could take Black out. I get off the bed and headed towards the closest filled with a few of my clothes.

I changed and just as I was to open the door it knocked. I opened it and standing there was an out of breath Allura. "Are you ok?" I panicked. Normally I wouldn't panic, but she has been avoiding me for a few days. "Peachy." She replied while still trying to catch her breath. "How do you know about that expression?" I questioned. "I picked it up while we were in space." She answered. "Why are you here now? You've been avoiding me for a few quintants." I said. "Sorry about that, all will be revealed soon. Just close your eyes and follow me." Allura half explained. "How am I supposed to follow you with my eyes closed?" I asked and closed my eyes. I blushed faintly as I felt Allura take my hand and lead me wherever she was taking me.

"You can open your eyes now." Allura said as she dropped my hands. "Surprise!" everyone yelled as I opened my eyes. I stood frozen, I didn't know wether to feel mad or happy. I looked at my team standing before me with a hopeful gleam in their eyes in front of the rest of the garrison. "Do you like it, I spent a while planning it." Allura asked. "Thank you but parties aren't my thing." I replied. "Oh." She said and looked down in disappointment. I hate seeing her like this. "I'll give it a try though." I said and she looked up with a smile.

I was surprised when Allura pulled me into an embrace, so much so that I let out an audible gasp to which she laughed at. "I think that's enough lovebirds." Pidge teased and I blushed ever so slightly. "Really Pidge? That's very immature." I sighed. "Ah but I'm younger than all of you so I can be immature." Pidge replied and I tilted my head. "That's not how it works." I said and she just smirked with a shrug. I shook my head and chuckled. Allura was just smiling at me and I was confused as to why when I remembered what she had told me during training. I shut down my emotions making sure nothing seeped through and put on a poker face which I was used to all my life, well this is for a different reason.

Suddenly I heard beeping noises fill the room. Oh no, that sounds like a- I focused on my Lion calling him to me like I had done with Red before (not on purpose of course). When I opened my eyes again Black had burst through the side of the building and grabbed as many people as possible. "Keith what're you-" Allura started to ask but was scooped up by Black leaving me the only one left. He was about to grab me too when the bomb finally went off and everything collapsed.

Allura's POV

"Keith what're you-" I started to ask but was scooped up by the Black Lion. Just before Black could grab Keith the building exploded. "KEITH!" I yelled jumping out of Black's open mouth before he could close it. I rushed towards the debris, frantically searching for Keith. "Keith! Keith! I hate you, why do you always have to sacrifice yourself! Why?! This time you could actually be..." I sobbed with my hands finally slowing down their search as I trailed off, not being able to finish my sentence.

I sat in the middle of the debris, crying, trembling, shouting, but virtually frozen.
I don't know how long I sat there until Shiro was shaking my shoulders. "We found him but there's nothing we can do, not without a healing pod." Shiro announced and I shook my head. "Yes there is." I mumbled and stood up. I rushed towards Keith and motioned everyone to step back. He was barely breathing as I kneeled down. "Do humans have a special spot? Like say a mark?" I asked. "Do you mean a birthmark?" Lance questioned. "Try doing it where his Galran marks would be, you can use his scar as a guide." Krolia interrupted and I nodded my thanks. "Are you sure about this?" She asked and I nodded.

I put my hands on the side of his face, and I focused on healing Keith as I transferred my energy into his. What I didn't expect to see is his teeth turning into fangs, his nails to claws, his ears becoming larger, purple spreading across his face, and finally Galran marks appearing (A/N: Look I'm sorry but I LOVE Galra Keith and that may or may not be because of him acting like a cat so basically all of my fanfics with Keith will have him as a Galra.). I gasped as did everyone else but didn't stop transferring my energy until his eyes flew open to reveal his yellow sclera instead of white. "Why are you all staring at me like that? And why is my butt so quiznacking uncomfortable?" Keith exclaimed, jolting upwards. My eyes widened as I saw a tail protruding from his tailbone. Keith's eyes followed our gaze and he jumped once his gaze landed on his tail.

"What happened?" Keith asked with his eyes narrowed but I just stood there frozen the whole time, finally letting the shock sink in. "You almost died and the Princess saved you with Altean magic, but dude, during the middle of it you turned Galra!" Lance exclaimed. At the world Galra his eyes widened and he snapped his gaze towards mine but I still couldn't move. I could see the fear in his eyes of me getting upset like last time. He was seeking approval but I couldn't say anything. Everyone seemed to sense Keith's gaze on me and turned. "Princess?" Hunk questioned and Keith visibly flinched when my eyes bore into his as if expecting an outburst. At the thought I burst out laughing, doubling over until my head hit my knees. Well who knew Keith the fearless lone wolf leader would be afraid of his Princess! Well, er, no I'm not his Princess. With that thought my laughter died down and was left with everyone giving me questioning looks. I immediately plastered a smile on my face and stood up from the ground.

"Ok I have a question," I said turning to Krolia, and she gestured for me to continue. "Why does Keith have a tail if you don't?" I questioned. "On my way back to the Blades from Earth I got into some trouble and injured my tail so badly it had to be cut off." Krolia explained. "Are you ok?" Keith interrupted with the utmost worry and care in his eyes. "I'm fine." Krolia chuckled and he sighed. "Can he change back? Maybe it works like Altean shapeshifting?" Pidge questioned. "I don't know this has never happened before, try thinking of changing back." Krolia said. "Focus on your quintessence." I instructed. Keith closed his eyes and his features slowly reverted back. "Ok now try changing back." I said and once again he was purple. "I have two theories." Pidge said and I gestured for continuation. "One, is that whatever the Princess did caused it. Two, is that all half breeds can do that if they think about their quintessence." Pidge explained. "Too bad we don't have another half breed to test it on." She mumbled and I just waved her down.

Even though I hadn't said anything bad to Keith like last time he still avoided my gaze. Why does he care what I think that much? I sighed before pulling Keith away from the rest of the group and leaving them to deal with situation. "Keith what's wrong?" I questioned even though I was fully aware what was wrong. "It's nothing." He replied, and I drew a sharp intake of breath before exhaling loudly. "Keith I've already accepted you for who you are and that means I'm okay with you being like this. I've learned my lesson from last time. If I hadn't don't you think I would have a problem with your mom and the Blades? It's ok you're still Keith, Galra or not." I said and he pulled me into an embrace. "Thank you." He replied, and I patted his back with a smile.
