Cover art by @tricodeku. This is set before the Kerbros mission, and is about Keith and his friends time at the Garriosn, starting on their first day, ending when they find the blue lion. Keith is Shadams son, and is 14, and newly enrolled at the Ga...
I walked into my rooms, and looked around. There was a bunk bed, and a couch, along with 2 beds and dressers. The top bunk was already taken, presumably by James, so I put my stuff in the bottom. (wink wink) We had a decent sized bathroom with 2 cabinets, a walk in shower and a bath tub. After snooping around, I decided that I should actually be productive for once, and started to put my stuff away. After I finished, I flopped down on my bunk and pulled out my phone. After a while, I heard knocking on the door " Come in" I yelled, not even bothering to see ho it was. They walked in and shut the door. They walked over and said " It's Keith, right? I'm James Griffin. It's nice to meet you." I looked up and HOLY SHIT NOT NOW GAYNESS!He was HOT! Even at 14, he obviously had some muscle, and had light brown eyes and hair. I realized that I had been staring, so I stood up and stuck my hand out " Y-yeah, I'm Keith." Smooth Keith, real smooth. I could feel a light blush on my cheeks, and I think he's blushing a bit too? After he shook my hand he said " Well I'm gonna go hang with some people I met, you wanna come with me?" Fuck he was cute. "Yeah, sure." We set off down the halls, eventually coming to what looked like a giant living room with couches, beanbags, a TV, and a few other things. He started heading towards a group of people, who looked about our age. I recognized some of them from orientation, and luckily, Pidge was there too. "Keith! Wassup man!" "Hey Pidge." James looked surprised. "You guys know each other?" He asked me, looking a little sad. "We met earlier. Her brother works with my brother and his husband and they talk a lot, so we practically know each other already." A little hope seemed to fill his eyes again. Pidge cackled evily, Yes, I know just about every stupid thing he's ever done, and vice versa." James smiled, along with the others.

"Well this is Kinkade, (pointing to the dark skinned boy) that's Veronica,(pointing to the other girl), you already know Pidge,and that's Hunk,(pointing towards the chubby one with the yellow headband. Guys, this is Keith, he's my roommate." James seemed a little proud saying that last part. Kinkade and Veronica looked at each other knowingly. "So, Keith, whaddya think of James so far?" Veronica asked me. I shrugged. "He seems nice, and so far, he's not annoying or a pain in the ass, so I think being roommates will work out pretty well." James smiled at that. Veronica and Kinkade shared another one of those looks, and Kinkade said "Give it time, he'll prove to be a pain in the ass sooner or later." "Anyway," the boy named Hunk said, " Who's your brother? You said he works at the Garrison?" I nodded. "He's Takashi Shirogane, but I call him Shiro. His husband's Adam, and they practically raised me. (I looked towards the ground) Our mom died when I was really young, and our dad was a firefighter who died saving some people from a burning building." What the hell was I doing? Telling these people my life story. When I looked up, they all seemed sad. "That's rough buddy". Then, to my great surprise, Hunk hugged me. It felt like I was being hugged by a marshmallow. I kinda like it. He let go and sat down. Then, to my greater surprise, James looked at me and said, with sadness in his eyes, "I'm so sorry" and then he hugged me. And unlike when Hunk hugged me I hugged back. He held me for a minute, and I felt Pidge pat my shoulder, in an attempt to comfort me. After James let go I said, "It's okay guys, it all happened a long time ago, I just wanna focus on the present." They all nodded, and we all sat down again. I was going to sit next to Pidge, but I ended up next to James and Veronica, which I certainly didn't have a problem with. Was it just me, or were they trying to get me as close to James as possible?
