The Perfect Reality/ Found Family

Help me

Keith's voice
The Red Lion's voice
Black lions's voice

Also everything from Keith's point of view is a bit dramatic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your a monster

Your nothing

You make a mess of everything

You should just kill yourself

Keith woke up with a start. It. took him a few minutes to realize where he was. The bathroom. On the floor. He had passed out again. Keith looked over at his arms. Blood. Scars. Keith had been cutting again after another mission. He had thought he had done well, but the team thought otherwise. Everyone but Shiro. And they were right. Keith hadn't been trying his best. He had been slacking. Even though he had been the most injured during the fighting. He new he was nothing.

Just another mess to clean up after.
Dead weight.
Useless.
A monster.

The team did know he was Galra and he would like to keep it that way. If they found out, they would surely kick him off the team. Or better, put him out of his misery.

Keith cleaned up his arms and wrapped them. They would eventually add to the number of scars on his wrist. Keith put on his jacket and walked out of his room. It was the middle of the night and usually he would go and train. But he was too weak tonight. Instead he headed to the lion's hanger. There stood Red, proud and strong. Unlike him.

Keith knew he had too many flaws. One being he was fat, so he had started to starve himself months ago.

Hello my cub. Come here.

Keith obeyed his lion and walked over. He entered her and went to sit in the cockpit.

Why did you choose me Red?

My cub. You may think yourself imperfect, but to me you are everything. You are the bravest and strongest out off all the paladins and you do always do your best. I have talked with the other lions and they agree.

Agree with what?

The paladins should not be treating you like this. You are the best among them all, yet they criticize your every move.

Black is that you?

Yes child. All of us have agreed that the paladins need to change. And until they do we will not let them in.

What?!

My cub it is for the best. They must realize their mistakes to become worthy again. It is decided and we will not change our minds. Now sleep my cub.

Keith wasn't tried but he felt his seat beneath him warm up, he heard Red started to hum to him, and he fell asleep into a dream-less sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I worry for my cub. He needs help, support, and love from the other paladins. Especially since he experienced a dark childhood. If he continues, he could end up killing himself. I am currently easing his pain, but he can't stay in here forever.

I will worn my paladin. Shiro had already had experience this with him, and I will take with blue as well. I think her paladin is starting to notice your cub, and his bubble-ness may help.
As for now, we wait.

Shiro was the first to wake. He woke up around 5, and went to train. Usually when he got there Keith would be training and Shiro would send him to get ready, but today was different. Keith wasn't in the training room and it made him a bit uneasy.

Shiro then trained for an hour then went to get ready for the day. As usual, Hunk was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Shiro when to Pidge's room and woke them up, then proceeded to Lance's room and woke him up. He then went to Keith's. He knew that Corran and the Princess were already awake, so all he had to do now was get Keith. But Keith wasn't there.

Shiro walked into the kitchen/dining room looking around but still couldn't find Keith. "Have any of you seen Keith?"

"Na."

"Nope."

"Sorry Shiro, I haven't."

"Hmm. Nether could I. Well we should find him before we start training." Shiro tried to ignore the grounds from the rest of the team.

"Well to day is a bit different. Instead we will be working with our lions to strengthen our bond. And yes Lonce, it does mean putting effort into it." Allura replied.

"Me?! What about Keith?"

"Keith puts in the most effort out of all of us. Why don't you lay off him Lance for a while. and besides we all know you just want to get some kisses from him"

"W-What?!?! N-no!" Lance tried his best to hide his red face, but it was useless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time skip brought to you by laziness!

After everyone ate they decided to look for Keith. They looked everywhere but still couldn't find him.

"Well we haven't found him. Has anyone checked the lions?"

"No." They all walked down to the lion hangers and went up to the red lion. "Hey Red, have you seen where Keith is." The lion stayed quiet for a second then stood up an roared. It wasn't a friendly roar, more like a 'get away'. After a few more moments it lowered it head and opened up.

"Keith! Oh my gosh, I've been so worried." Shiro ran up and hugged his brother.

"Well, sorry for troubling you. My lion wouldn't let me out."

"Why."

"Not sure, I think she was protecting me or something."

Before anyone could ask why the alarms when off. "Everyone to your lions!" Corran's voice boomed over the speaker, "the Galra are here."
