Little Keith AGE REGRESSION Voltron One-Shots~~ (Requests ON HOLD)

~~Little Keith and The Paladins: Why is Auntie 'Lura Mad at Me?

A/N:::    REQUEST: so I know in this chapter (meaning Chapter3) you mentioned Allura is not understanding of Keith's headspace. so maybe one day Allura insists on having them all train, but Keith is feeling very little that day after the stress of the Marmora trials. and since she's already frustrated that Keith is Galra, she tries to force him out of headspace. the other paladins try to intervene but she doesn't listen. and then Keith ends up having a meltdown, which causes Coran to insist Allura leave him alone. Keith is then comforted by a caregiver and they get him changed, cleaned up from an accident, and put him down for a much-needed nap.

Today had been arguably one of the toughest days in Keith's life. He had never experienced anything as mentally, emotionally and physically exhausting as the Marmora trials had been. While Keith was glad to finally have answers to the questions about his past, it had left him completely drained. So it hadn't been a shock to anyone that Keith slipped into littlespace almost as soon as it was over. Although, this time it was more than just a slip, it was more like he plummeted into the deep depths of littlespace. Which meant it would be impossible to say for sure when Keith would be able to come out of his headspace.

After Shiro helped Coran get Keith into the healing pod to help heal the injuries he had sustained, he made sure to explain that how important it was that they all let Keith take all the time he needed to be little; and under no circumstances was anyone to try and force Keith out of littlespace. Forcing someone into or out of their headspace was dangerous.

The paladins all promised to take care of Keith in everyway they could. They had all come to love little Keith so much and were always excited when Keith was having a little day. It was just as therapeutic and fun for them as it was for Keith. Shiro lived up to his space dad nickname and took the role of "Dada" as little Keith chose to refer to him. Hunk had made little Keith his "little helper" in the kitchen on days when he wasn't in a more babyish headspace. Lance loved playing with little Keith, no matter what age he was, because little Keith was adorable and reminded him of his nieces, nephews and cousins back on Earth. Pidge was excited to finally be someone's big sister, and to not be the youngest on the ship anymore. Coran had taken quite a liking to the little one as well, the boy often times reminding Coran of his own child. Overall they had a pretty great family dynamic...with one minor exception...

Allura.

Allura did not understand the concept of littlespace and as a result she had a very hard time being patient with the red paladin when he was in that state. On Altea, Age Play/Regression was never heard of. Allura didn't understand why someone would willingly revert back to a state as vulnerable as infancy, nor what reasons they would have for said regression to take place.

Today, however, things took a darker shift in the princess's mind as she thought of the potential reason why Keith in particular, was doing just that. The Marmora trials had revealed that Keith had a Galra bloodline. He had been born to a Galra mother and human father, making him a half breed, but Galra all the same in Allura's mind. She had been to furious after learning this knowledge to even be able to stay in the healing pod room with him and the rest of the team. She had no interest in hearing Shiro talk about Keith's ridiculous littlespace non-sense. So she had left the room the moment he started speaking. Once she was in her private quarters, Allura took the time to ponder Keith's actions up until this point and had already made up her mind about what she thought Keith was doing.

The Galra were known to be quite deceptive and devious when the situation called for it. It was clear to Allura that Keith had made up this littlespace as a way to interfere with Voltron's effort against the Galra. It made perfect sense.
