Just a quick notice that the song being used does not belong to me and I hold no right to it

Keith walked down the castle halls exploring new rooms since the castle was big and he knew he hasn't seen every.

He was never much of a social person so he didn't really hang out with the others, he didn't fit in anyways and even if he tried to fit in he would probably be excluded for the majority of the time, ignored, or be name called.

He didn't like any of that so he spend his time exploring new places or training.

So far he's found a nursery, an altean version of a game room, a kid room with many toys in it, a saunas, an art room that he knew he would definitely visit again and for now is his favorite room, and a good sized medical room, kinda like average sized house radius room with a good portion of healing beds and IV's with cabinets that have medical supplies and medicine.

As he peeked into a new room, his eyes caught the sight of many different instruments. They seemed very similar the ones in earth, maybe just a bit fancier.

As he scavenged the room his eyes landed on a instrument that looked similar to a guitar, he walked towards it and held it. Memories came to him of his dad playing it in the porch and him teaching Keith how to play it.

A small but noticeable smile appeared on Keith's smile as he plucked one of the strings. He tuned the guitar since the way it was formed was almost the same as the ones on earth. Once he finished he played with the different melodies as he began to sing as lyrics came to his head as well as the melody for the guitar.

All from his emotions and memory.

"Sorry that I'm not enough
sorry that I just give up
When the going gets tough all I every do is run"

"sorry that I'm not enough, I'm, sorry that I just give up, when the going gets tough all I ever do is run"

"I'm Sorry that I'm not enough , I'm not enough"

Lance walked down the halls of the castle, bored. No one wanted to hang out with him, shiro was busy with allura and coran talking about battle strategies and other stuff he didn't understand, hunk was baking, pidge was doing random tech stuff that he did want to bother understanding. As for Keith, he didn't know and didn't care either.

As he walked down the halls he thought he heard something that sounded like... singing? Was he hearing things? As he stopped in his tracks he could definitely hear someone singing, but who could it be? Everyone was busy... wait.

As he walked closer to the source the singing got louder as well as something that sounded similar to a guitar. As he arrived to the room which held the source of the music. As he peeked inside and his eyes might as well have bulged out of his eye sockets.

Standing right in front of him was keith. The lone wolf, the emo of them all was singing. He sung so good but lance noticed that he's never heard the song keith was singing.

So he stood there by the door way, listening.

"4 am in my room and I'm high again
always trending cautions society's a lions den
Feelin pain I'm just wishing that this shit would end
No one listens so I'm crying on the internet
Won't lie I don't know where else to go
Got walls and a roof but this house ain't home
Rollin up dope I've been outta my zone
I'm drowning in issues I'm outta control
Tell the reaper to take my life with a scythe quick
Why is pain the only thing my brain can siphon
I've been on a journey tryna find some enlightenment
Why is death the only concept that gets me excited?
Should I stay or go thats been on my mind
Feel like you'll get bored of me I'll be a waste of time
And though of you leavin been keeping me up at night
So tell me that we're fine
And that we'll be alright"

"Sorry that I'm not enough
Sorry that I just give up
When the going gets tough
all I ever do is run
I'm sorry that I'm not enough
I'm not enough"

Tears ran down both Keith and lance's face as keith finished singing.

Lance slowly closed the door and inches away from the room then ran away, tears still streaming down his face as he heads to his room.

He then bumps into Shiro and looks up at him with glossy eyes "oh um hey Shiro" he says nervous "hey lance... are you ok?" Wha-" then lance realized he was still crying and wiped away the tears "oh ya, just had space dust in my eyes I'm fine, did you need anything?" He asked, hoping shiro wouldn't continue "ummm well yes, have you seen keith?" He asked, lance remembered Keith singing and him crying.

That was the first time he's seen Keith cry. And Keith barely cries, meaning he must be feeling real bad. "Nope haven't seen him, why don't you check the training room?" Lance says, hoping Shiro hasn't checked there. "Right forgot to check there, see you later lance!" Shiro says heading back to check the training room.

Lance just nodded before heading to his room and jumped into his bed, feeling so many different emotions at the same time.

He never knew keith felt that way. Then again, he didn't know a lot about Keith, he always kept to himself and didn't open up much.

Lance began to feel bad for calling him names and making fun of him.
