Hiding Behind a Mask

Chapter 30- This Can't Be Real

Keith storms into his apartment and tried running to his room, an older brother was blocking the way though. Keith tried pushing Shiro out of the way, Shiro was use to Keith's violent tantrums.

"MOVE! MOVE!" Keith shouts. Shiro stood his ground, Keith finally calmed down. "Move..."

"Calm yet Keith?" He grabs him, he saw tears running down his face. "Oh God are you okay?" He asked, Keith shook his head.

"Lance... Lance broke his promise. He isn't my friend anymore Shiro... I... I feel so."

"What?" Shiro couldn't believe that. Keith hugs his brother and cries in his chest.

"I feel so empty!" He sobs. "I don't like it!"

"You're heartbroken Keith." Shiro said. He let his brother cry in his chest, he rubs Keith's head trying to make him feel better, though nothing was going to stop the pain. After a bit Shiro made Keith sit down.

"You want something to eat?" Shiro asks. Keith shook his head, Shiro sighs and stood up. The door knocked moments later. "That's odd." He opened it and saw two little kids looking up at him. One of them was hiding behind the other. "Uh... you two look familiar."

"Is Princess in here?" Keith quickly looks over.

"Sarah?!" He was shocked.

"Princess!"

"Kei Kei!"

"Rico, you too?!" They tackled him on the couch and smothered him with hugs. "What are you two doing here? You two live so far away! Did you follow me?!"

"We were worried about you Princess!" Sarah said. "We don't know what's wrong with Lance but we couldn't let you go home in tears! Princesses are suppose to be happy, not sad."

"Kei Kei." Rico hugs Keith. Keith was happy but now real concerned.

"You two it's cold outside."

"Yeah... I'm freezing." Sarah said with a smile, Rico nods.

"Brrr." He held himself. Keith looks at the two.

"I'm glad you were worried about me, but what you two did was really dangerous." He said in a calm voice. "It would've made me more upset if I heard you two got hurt."

"So you're not happy to see us?" Sarah asks, Keith smiles.

"No, I'm very happy." Keith said. Sarah smiles back, the two kids tackle Keith and hug him. He laughs with them, the two were really helping him with his broken heart. Shiro was glad.

"I'll tell the asshole that his siblings are with us." Shiro said. The three kept wrestling around. "Are you three hungry."

"I am!" Sarah raised her hand. Rico nods, still wary of Shiro.

"You want me to cook?" He teases, Keith held the two close.

"I will not let you poison them!" Keith shouts. The two giggle and stay close to him. Shiro smirks and walks over to them.

"Well what do you want?" He asks. Keith looks at the two.

"What do you two want?" The two kids thought for a moment.

"I... I don't know." Sarah giggles. Rico stayed quiet due to Shiro being so close. Keith waited for them to answer. Nothing. They didn't know what they wanted.

"Where do you guys like to eat?" Keith asks. Sarah's eyes grew wide.

"You mean like go out?" She asks. Keith nods. "We never EVER go out to eat!" She sounded way too excited. Rico was even surprised. Keith loved how the two were so excited about something so simple. Just shows how much money that family has.
