Baby Keith

4 pt. 1

'Kosmo is a puppy?! Oh crap...'

3rd Person POV

Everyone was chilling in the living room watching a movie. Suddenly Kosmo teleports into the living room but not as his big wolfie self. No, he teleports in as a puppy!
"Kosmo?!" Lance asks confused and the space wolf bounds over to Keith licking his face.
"

Doggie" Keith giggles patting Kosmo's head. Kosmo yips protective of his owner and friend.
"Awe." Hunk cooes crying from the adorableness.
"I wish Adam could see this..." Shiro says softly remembering his late fiancé.
"He's being Keith's guard dog." Pidge states smiling at the sight before them.
"My boyfriend AND his dog are babies now." Lance sighs kneeling down petting Kosmo. Keith giggles clapping his hands. Kosmo chases his tail yipping happily.
Keith toddles around after Kosmo squealing softly in delight. Kosmo bounds into Keith's room grabbing Keith's stuffed hippo.
"No doggie!" Keith runs-ish to get the hippo out of his puppy's mouth. Kosmo thinks it's a game of tug-o-war and starts pulling on the toy making Keith do the same. "Give Eepo back you dumbie doggie!" Keith cries out angry.
'Rippppp'
The hippo explodes into a bunch of stuffing. Keith stares at his once fateful companion in disbelief befor tears start welling up in his eyes. Keith screams scaring Kosmo off as loud sobs sound from the 2 year old boy.
Lance was the first to hear the scream dashing past the other paladins making them follow. Lance hits the door frame seeing the wripped hippo and sobbing Keith. Lance rushes to Keith kneeling down scooping him up in his arms.
"Shhh it's okay..." Lance soothes while rubbing the poor boy's back.
"Dumbie doggie bwoke Eepo..." Keith sniffles holding onto Lance's shirt.
"I'm sure he didn't mean too Keith. He was just playing. He's a puppy." Shiro tries but that doesn't do anything to help.
"Eepo huwt! Fis it!" Keith screams beginning of a tantrum.
"Keith calm down. Eepo will be okay." Pidge tries to calm the angry little mullet boy.
"FIS IT NOW!" Keith screams stomping his feet.
"Keith that's enough! You don't throw a tantrum because your toy got torn up!" Shiro scolds and it's clear he has had enough of Keith's tantrum. Keith looks hurt by Shiro's firm voice with him more tears welling up in his eyes letting out a blood curtling scream. Everyone's hand fly to their ears. They decide to leave Keith in his room to calm himself down. Locking the door.

Keith's POV

I scream louder after they left and locked me in here.
"WET ME OUUUU!" I scream my feeling being really hurt.
"Not until you stop your trantrum." Bubba replies meanly.
"WET ME OU WIGH NOWWWW!! TUPID MEANIE!" I scream louder letting my distaste for this punishment clear.
"Once you want to talk to us like a big boy we will let you out." Lance tries to sooth me. But he's a tupid meanie too.
"I HATE YOU! YOU NO WUV KEEF!" I scream hearing two gasps.
"KEITH THAT'S ENOUGH!" Bubba yells coming in my room closing the door picking me up with a strong grip putting me in my crib.
"You will stay in your crib until you decide to stop acting like a little brat. Do I make myself clear? Kosmo is a puppy for God's sake! He's going to tear stuff up. He is playing Keith. Got that he's a dog that's what they do." Bubba says clearly. I stick my tongue out at him also very angry I feel I'm being treated very unfairly. Bubba just turns towards the door.
"Such a brat." I heawed bubba mutter and left after he did closing and locking the door to my room again (I know Shiro wouldn't actually say something like this but I needed to do it for the story. I'm not antagonizing Shiro it's just him being like a dad). My heart ached since he said that. Tears start sliding down my face silently. I completely forgot about being mad about the doggie tearing Eepo or throwing my fit. No, I was focused on what bubba said to me...
"I sowwy..." I whisper softly guessing no one would believe me anyway.

Outside the room no one's POV

The others looked at Shiro shocked at the things he said to Keith. And much more that he called Keith a brat twice. They noticed Keith had fell completely silent after Shiro left.
"S-shiro you yelled at Keith..." Pidge states coming out of her shock first.
"And called him a brat... Twice!" Hunk jumps in also coming out of his shock.
"You made him stop his tantrum." Allura also jumps in. Lance felt numb. Part of him knew Keith's tantrum was out of hand but another part of him was itching to pick up the dead Eepo.

Keith's POV

'Why eveone hate Keef now? Does dey wuv doggie? Yeah... Dey wuv doggie now... Doggie no thwow fit... Keef so bad... Keef hate Keef too...' I sniffle trying not making eye contact with Lance he seem upset. I watch him pick up all of the stuffing from Eepo and Eepo himself. 'Poor Eepo...'

"Keith I know you're watching me. Your punishment is completely justified: You threw a huge tantrum and that isn't okay. You can not yell at us when we are trying to help you. I understand that you are upset that your hippo was ripped up. That doesn't give you the right to be angry and yell. Kosmo is a puppy he thought you were playing with him. You scared him when you screamed and now he won't come out of my room. That is your fault Keith. You are responsible for your actions. And only you. I'll come check on you in the morning. So go to sleep. I have a puppy to help." Ance scolds turning on the nightlight then turning off big light. Then leaving without say goodnight or kiss my head. I tear up again hugging my knees to my chest thoughts of everyone leaving me fill my head. 'Tupid baby...' More insults for myself fill myself hating myself more than my teenself did. Tears slide down my face but no one is going to come for me. No one bothered to check if I was wet. And I was very wet. I lay back on my bed staring at the ceiling.
"Maybe dey wight to hate Keef..." I sigh knowing they are helping the doggie and not me. Imagining all the fun and love they are giving it that isn't going to me... Well not anymore since everyone seems to hate me. I fall into a painful and restless sleep.

Meanwhile in Lance's room
Narrator's POV

All the paladins are trying to coax the scared space puppy out of the Blue Paladin's room.
"Come on Kosmo. I've got a treat for you~" Lance cooes watching Kosmo come out of the room gladly.
"Good boy, Kosmo!" Shiro praises. No one seems to be bothered by the lacking presents of the youngest of the youngest in the castle. No one except for Hunk. Of course mama Hunk would be worried about Keith. He did have a right to be upset. Eepo was Keith's best friend and Kosmo took that from Keith. Then people were yelling and locking Keith in his room. It was unfair. Keith did deserve a punishment but this is too far.
"Now that the poor puppy is all better we should get some sleep." Allura says clapping her hands together. The paladins mutter an agreement. Little was it known to the other paladins the Yellow Paladin was going to protect his youngest like his lion protects him.

Hunk's POV (Extremely short POV)

'I'm coming Keith. I'll protect you.'
