Keith One Shots

~Haggar's Deal + An Icy Dip~

Helloo. So I've decided I'm no longer going to accept requests as I struggle to write from someone else's idea. However, I've promised 2 people I'd write what they requested. First off, I'm sorry to them for having to wait so long only to not get what they expected, but I think if I attempted to write a full request, it wouldn't be of high quality. Instead, I'm going to put the 2 requests here, and instead of the full thing, it'll just be a little part from it. Again, I'm sorry if I let you down. Here ya go!

Haggar's Deal

Requested by: sami2570 

"You'll be the perfect red paladin"

That's what Haggar had told Keith. He knew he shouldn't have trusted her after all the bad she'd done, but he'd had no choice. She'd promised him his team would accept him.

She'd been lying.

Another thing that Keith had known was that he shouldn't have drawn his emotionless state onto paper. If the others found his dark, mysterious drawings, all filled with made up demons and powerful words, they'd give him a serious questioning. But Haggar's spell to make him emotionless had been starting to take a toll on him.

He'd been eating less, for example. He wouldn't notice his legs were trembling from lack of energy until he'd collapse. He didn't quite understand how that worked seeing as it was only the emotions she'd blocked out, but he didn't care to question it.

 He didn't care to do anything anymore.

He'd barely seen his team throughout the past few days. If he wasn't training, he was in his room staring at the wall. It sounds boring, but Keith couldn't get bored anymore. His friends had started to notice something was up with him but he hadn't cared.

But now, standing in the doorway as the others spread his drawings across the floor, he'd never been more horrified.

The pictures were really dark, covered in well placed scribbles and traumatised faces. Words such as "loner" and "useless" were engraved within the artwork.

Keith had never seen the paladins so shocked.

They hadn't believed Lotor at first when he'd told them of Keith and Haggar's deal. They'd assumed Keith was just being quieter than usual. They'd never suspect it was because he'd attempted to permanently seal away any slither of emotion he'd had.

Key word: attempted.

Everything hit him at once.

A flood of emotions burst into his heart, and he immediately wanted to cry, scream, smile, fidget, fight, all at the same time. The negatives were more powerful than the positives though, and Keith found himself letting out a loud sob. The paladins heads all whipped around to look at him as he crumpled to the floor. Keith could hear the muffles of them dashing about, but his brain couldn't focus. It was too much.

Everything faded to dark.

An Icy Dip

Requested by: SeriouslyWTF333 

"I've got him! Help me pull him out!"

The voice was muffled, but Keith could still hear it. He felt his side come into contact with the ground, and opened his eyes as much as he could. He couldn't make out much except from a few worried faces. Where was he?

Oh right, he'd fallen through some ice.

"Keith! Keith can you hear us!? Oh god guys he's not okay!" Hunk yelled, the noise making Keith wince. He felt like dead weight.

"Hunk. C'n hear you.." Keith mumbled out. He wasn't sure it was completely audible. He felt something wrap around his entire body all of a sudden. What was happening? Why was he-

"Woah woah, Keith. It's okay. I'm just putting a blanket on you." Shiro said, gently moving the strands of hairs out of Keith's eyes. "Now, can you tell me my name?"

"Sh'ro." Keith slurred, nudging his face into Shiro's hand. This whole situation was freaking him out.

"Yeah, that's good. Now we're going to take you to the castle now, so don't freak out when I pick you up, okay?" Shiro said. Keith replied with a dazed nod, understanding what Shiro had said. However, when Shiro attempted to lift him, his brain decided not to listen to him and he panicked anyways.

"Keith! Keith, relax. We need to get you back to the castle quick, okay?" A voice, Lance, Keith thought, spoke. His voice was calming, almost too calming, and all too quickly Keith felt his eyes becoming heavy.

"Woah- okay I know I said relax but don't fall asleep, stupid mullet." Keith felt someone violently tap on his face, and he let out a grunt. He didn't want to be disturbed. He couldn't see or feel any danger, so what was the problem in him falling asleep? Besides, the planet they were on was way too light and hurt his eyes.

"Keith." A jostle made Keith blink his eyes wider open again. Shiro was looking at him with a harsh yet concerned stare. "Please, try to stay awake."

Keith wasn't quite sure when Shiro had started carrying him, but he didn't care. He couldn't focus and this entire experience was making him mad. He couldn't move or think properly.

So without a second thought, Keith let his eyes closed, and the unconsciousness quickly dragged him in.

Don't worry Keith is fine in both. He lives. I promise. Again, sorry for taking ages to do the requests then not even doing them fully. Please forgive meeeee. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
