(40) Can you teach me?

[This chapter is much longer than usual- which is my bad. I just didn't feel like separating it into two/three chapters was necessary and I had already kinda named a draft after this and hhhh effort.]

Keith's p.o.v:

It's been just about three days since Keith had gotten his ability to speak back, and five days since he heard the news of King Alfor's death. He still wasn't talking but he was getting better about leaving the guest room, if only to spend time out in the upstairs living room and sometimes the balcony. He still couldn't bring himself to head downstairs so the others were still bringing his meals up to him, even going as far as someone eating up there with him so he didn't have to eat alone. More often then not it was Pidge who joined him for meals, the rarer times when she was busy it was Takashi. He was fine with Hunk not wanting to eat with him because it would probably be the most awkward meal of either of their lives, and he rather not. At the moment he was eating lunch with Takashi at the upstairs living room's coffee table, sitting on pillows on the floor to make it a bit comfier.

Pidge was a constant presence in his life nowadays, always visiting him and showing him things on her laptop and finding things they could do together without having to leave the comfort and safety that was the upstairs of the house. Like watching movies and shows she liked, or listening to music, showing him her own channel along with Takashi's and Hunk's. Pidge and him more or less binge watched a bunch of their videos and as Keith ate his food across from Takashi he started writing in the notebook he still kept around due to choosing to stay mute. 'You have to record another video soon right?' He wrote, then slid the notebook across the table.

   Takashi read it over as he ate his meal and nodded, waiting to respond at a moment his mouth wasn't full. "Yeah but I'm not really sure what I should do, I don't really feel like doing my own makeup again. It's boring working on the same face all the time. I'm simply uninspired." Takashi explained with an exasperated sigh. Keith nodded along even if he didn't truly understand. "I got to think of something to do, if I'm up all night recording I'll be tired when I go to visit my mom tomorrow." Takashi said with another sigh, then turned his attention towards Keith with a look of realization. Keith was kind of stuck on the word mom, he knew what it meant but he kind of forgot that other people have their mother in their lives. "I got it! Oh my gods, will you pretty please let me do your makeup again? My fans loved you last time and It'd be boring if I only did my makeup again." Takashi pleaded, holding his hands together in front of his bowed head.

   Keith tilted his head to the side in confusion, did Takashi think he'd flat out reject the idea? It's not like this would be the first time Takashi has done his makeup. Plus he likes watching Takashi's makeup videos, like- a lot. He snagged the notebook from the other side of the coffee table so he could write once more and wrote 'Sure, I'll be your makeup canvas if you'll tell me about your mom.' Then he slid it over to Takashi to read. "Of course I can tell you about her, hell if you want you can even come with me tomorrow and meet her yourself!" Takashi replied happily as he slid the notebook back, clearly excited that he had someone else's makeup to do for his new video tonight.

  Keith gave him a questioning look before writing again and wrote, 'Would that really be okay? I mean- wouldn't I be in the way? I don't want to be a bother to you guys during your mother-son time.' He hesitated before letting Takashi read what he wrote, he even thought about crossing it all out but decided against it. "Hey, the more the merrier. She'll probably be glad to have the extra company." Takashi reassured. "Now eat up, I'd like to get set up and ready to record after we're done eating." Keith nodded before turning his attention back to his meal.

. . .

  Takashi had set up all of his things in the upstairs living room, his lighting, makeup, and camera. Of course Keith had to get a beanie on and his makeup done before they started recording, it was only logical that that had to be done but he wish he were like Takashi. Human. Completely human. Then he wouldn't have to wear a hat, or use makeup to hide the lilac tint of his skin.
