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

~~Little Keith & The Blades: I'm Supposed to Big, But I'm Really Still Little~~

REQUEST: what about one were Keith thinks he is weird about wanting to be little but when he get with the blades he finds out its natural for him cause for galra 19 is still very much a toddler or baby. Like they age one year for every ten of ours or something?

Keith had always known he was different from the other people his age.

While the other children had grown and matured, Keith seemed to be stuck in a more babyish state of mind. He never seemed to outgrow his brightly colored baby toys, preferring them over the flashy and trendy "big kid toys" his peers all seemed enamored with. Keith was much happier when he was playing with his building block, his xylophone, his teething rings, his plastic rainbow keys, his stuffed animals or his shiny red firetruck. Sure it was a bit odd for a teenager to want to play baby toys, but Keith couldn't help it and he didn't want to stop.

Another thing Keith hadn't outgrown was his pacifier. He used it for much longer than was typical for his age, and also sucked his thumb when his pacifier wasn't an option. Keith was aware that this was strange for his age as well. None of the other people in his class still needed to use their pacifier or still put their fingers in their mouths like Keith still did. One of the many pediatrician's Keith had seen over the years had diagnosed him with an oral fixation. Although having a name for it didn't make it any less embarrassing when Keith would unconsciously suck his thumb it public spaces.

Another odd quirk Keith still hadn't outgrown was that his speech sometimes involved of a lot of baby talk and a other odd sounds. This often got him teased by other people his age, so Keith preferred to stay quiet. There had been several times over the years when embarrassing baby words left Keith's mouth in front of his peers. His foster families had brought him to a lot of different doctors and after several tests they found that there was nothing medically or even mentally wrong with Keith, he just seemed to be having a difficult time outgrowing babyish behaviors. Mentally, physically and emotionally Keith was at the same level as his peers, so none of the doctors were quite sure why he was having such a hard time leaving infancy and those behaviors behind.

Perhaps the most embarrassing thing Keith still hadn't quite outgrown was having accidents. He still wet the bed every night and also had his fair share of daytime accidents. Keith was always surprised when his pants would become wet. A lot of the time Keith wouldn't realize he had to go or that he was going until his pants were completely soaked. Keith had started wearing his pull ups all the time to help keep his pants dry.

Sometimes Keith just wanted to be like other people his age. He didn't want to have to worry about having accidents. He didn't want to have the need to use a pacifier or get excited when he was new baby toy advertisements. He didn't like that he felt so dependent on other people and wanted them to take care of him so bad.

Keith just wanted to be normal. He was 19 and still acted and felt like a baby. He always wanted to know why he couldn't just be normal....and one day he finally got that answer.

These behaviors weren't typical for a human Keith's age...but...Keith wasn't all human...

It happened shortly after his Marmora trials. When the Blades discovered that Keith had a Galra bloodline, they immediately panicked and went into protective mode. The Galra were very protective of their young. Even if they weren't blood related, they still had a protective urge to take care of a distressed or hurt kit. This instinct kicked in full force after the truth was revealed and Keith had passed out. The blades rushed his to the infirmary and then to the make shift nursery aboard their ship, should they rescue anyone with kits of their own.
