Keith One Shots

~A Morning Surprise Pt. 2/2~

This could make sense without the first part but it would just be a lot more clear if you read the first part. Here ya go.

Keith's P.O.V

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist, taking a look in the mirror. I stared at my fluffy ears and purple skin in disgust.

I looked hideous.

I looked ugly.

I looked galran.

The team had been pretty accepting. They had all acted nice and said they didn't really mind. Well, most of them had. Allura was still giving me weird looks. But once my skin became fully purple I noticed how they seemed to act differently around me. Hunk constantly brought it up, asking loads of questions about how it happened or how I was galran. I understood he was just curious but I didn't know the answers myself. Pidge had been observing me a lot as if I was some sort of experiment. Shiro had been practically babying me the entire time which got annoying. Coran had been just avoiding me in general. Lance was the only one to treat me close to normal. The only thing that changed between me and Lance was that he would constantly pet my ears.

I sighed before putting my clothes on and walking over to my bed, flopping on it. I didn't want to face another day of weird looks, unanswered questions and pep talks. I just wanted everything to go back to how it was. When everyone treated me as their friend, not their pet.

I was pulled out of my thought when I heard a knock at the door.

"Keith, you missed breakfast. It's time to train" The voice said. It sounded like Pidge.

"Okay, I'll be there in a second" I said, sitting up slightly. I made my way over to the mirror and stared into it.

"You can do this Keith. Just a few hours of training then you can curl up on the bed and hide from the world" I said to myself, adjusting my hair so I looked somewhat presentable. I then put my shoes on and made my way to the training deck.

"Okay paladins. Today is going to be more of a talking exercise. I am going to give you each a headband that will be able to read your thoughts, fears and more. The machine will use the information from the headbands to ask you all a few questions which you will answer truthfully. This should build up your trust and help you to bond more as a team. Also, don't try and lie because the machine knows when you are lying" Allura explained, handing us all a headband. I didn't like the sound of this.

Once we all had headbands on Allura pressed a few buttons on the machine she was talking about and it lit up.

"The machine is ready to start. Are all of you?" She asked. We all nodded even though I really didn't want to do this. I didn't like the idea of a machine tracking my thoughts. We all sat down on the floor in a circle, similar to the first time when we used the headbands. The only difference now was that I had more to hide. The machine made a few noises before it started to speak.

"starting up session..." We all waited a few seconds in awkward silence before the machine started talking again.

"Green Paladin. It seems you are thinking about your missing family members. How much do you think of them?" The machine said, making Pidge flinch. I didn't expect the machine to ask such a straight forward question. I'm so screwed.

"U-Uh most of the day I think about them. They're my family and I intend on finding them." Pidge said shyly, fiddling with her glasses.

"What is your biggest fear?" The machine boomed. Wow this machine was scary.

"My biggest fear i-is... probably never finding my family.." Pidge answered. Everyone looked at her, sad expressions on their faces.

"What do you dislike the most about yourself?"
