Human Life as a Galra

Grumpy Kitty

Keith POV

When I came home, I ran to my room and screamed into my pillow. I can't believe I kissed Lance! I am such an idiot!

"You okay, bud?" Dad asked as he opened the door to my room.

"Yes, I'm good," I grumbled.

My dad and I established a safe word if I'm not upset about bullies since he would always worry about me until I was fed up with him and made a safe word.

"Okay, I won't push your buttons." Dad laughed.

He closed the door, and I rolled on my back and got out my phone.

Lance POV

I finally made it to school and ran over to Pidge and Hunk.

"Hey, have you guys seen Keith?" I asked.

"I think that's him over there." Hunk pointed.

I turned around and saw a sleepy kitty walk over to us. He was too tired to put up his hood, so everyone was staring at him. I walk over to him to make sure he was okay.

"Hey, Keith, you don't-"

Keith rested his head on my shoulder and started lightly snoring. My face became really hot and turned red.

"Have fun, lover boy!" Pidge teased.

"You guys can't leave me like this!" I whine.

Hunk and Pidge ran off giggling while I was stuck with a sleeping Keith and a bunch of people staring.

I carefully pick him up and go inside the school. Keith nuzzled into my chest, which made me blush harder than I already was.

A lot, and I mean a LOT of people stared at us. Is this what it feels like to be Keith? I walk to Mr. Shiro's classroom.

"Hey, uh, sir, what do I do with Keith?" I asked nervously.

"Just take a seat and keep him close." Mr. Shiro winked.

I blush again and take a seat at my desk with Keith still sleeping. I place him to rest his head on my shoulder and kinda sit up to free my arms.

His snores are adorable, it sounds like a mix of purring and snoring.

Students start to walk in and stare at the sleeping Keith in my arms. Some students would glare at Keith or at me.

Keith's tail slowly wraps around my waist, and he nuzzles my chest again. His tail feels like a fluffy snake gently coiling itself around me.

The bell finally rang, and Keith groggily fluttered his eyes open. His ears were droopy from sleep and his tail loosed around me.

"How was your nap kitten~" I cooed.

His ears shot up, and looked at me. Keith's face was red as a tomato. He frantically looked around and saw everyone was staring at him.

"I'm sorry I-"

"Keith, it's alright." I chuckled.

The Galra huffed and got up and took a seat next to me. I looked around, and everyone was staring with disgust.

I never noticed all of the hate in people's eyes when they see Keith. I looked back at Keith, and his head was down, and his ears were in an awkward position.

Keith POV

I walk to my locker and put all of my stuff inside. I hear a group of people approach me. I turn around, and it was the jerk that gave me a bloody nose.

"I don't think I properly introduced myself to you. I am James, and it seems like Lance isn't here to protect you." James threw a punch at me.

I quickly stop his fist from hitting my face with ease. I started growling and moved his hand to look at him in the eyes.

He gave me a look of fear, knowing that I would easily win this fight.

"I don't need Lance to protect me, but I think you do." I grin, showing off my fangs.

I let go of his hand, and he backs up from me.

"Keith!" I hear Lance shout.

My face immediately relaxed when he ran to me.

"What did you do?!" Lance yelled. His face was full of fear.

"I stopped James from beating me up," I said bluntly.

"Then why is everyone frightened?" Lance frowned.

I look around, and there were many people, and they all looked horrified at me. I am used to people being afraid of me, but I acted like one.

They are right. I am the monster that people say I am. My ears fall against my head, and I look at Lance again.

Lance gave me the same look like everyone else. I run away, and I found a storage closet, so I immediately hid in it. (A/N: just like his sexuality)

It was dark, but my eyes light up the room.

"They're right... I'm a freak, a monster..." I whisper to myself.

I hear people calling my name, but I just want to be alone. Why was this time different? Why did I lose control?

The bell rang, and I curl up in a ball and put my face in my arms.

"Keith? Are you in here?" Hunk asked.

Hunk screamed when I looked at him. Since it was pitch black, all he could see was my glowing eyes. He ran out in a panic, and I sighed.

This is how everyone sees me now. Well, they already did, but the people I thought I could trust are scared of me. I groan and put my face back into my arms.

The door opened again, but this time Lance came in.

"Keith, please stop hiding," Lance begged.

I looked up at Lance, but he didn't even flinch. He picked me up bridal style for the third time and walked out of the closet.

A group of teachers watched as Lance carried me out.

"Don't worry, he is just a grumpy kitty." Lance giggled.

I involuntarily yawn, and I immediately blush. Some of the teachers awed while others chuckled.

"He didn't get any sleep last night, so now he's grouchy," Lance added.

His comment got a few more laughed, but principal Alfor stepped forward.

"This time, I will let it go, but next time if you lose control, then you will be suspended." Principal Alfor stated.

"Yessir!" Lance exclaimed.

I nodded my head, and Lance walked away and still holding me in his arms.

"I'm not a grumpy kitty," I grumble.

"Yes, you are. Don't lie to me." Lance giggled.
