"Yep! Now...wanna prank Lance~?" You say in an innocent smile and a sweet sickening voice. A mischievous smile creeps across of Pidge's face. "Hell yeah"

The whole day was spent with you and Pidge pranking everybody on the Castle-ship. Until you both fell asleep beside each other.

Kieth was in the training room after you got injured, yet again. He felt like he let this happen to you.

It was a regular day yet again. Allura called you all to help out another planet. It was planet Glourian (Glory-en). It was the neighbour planet to Lullora, so of course you had to help. You wore your regular everyday attire: Mask, hair up in a messy bun, fore arm/shin/chest plate leather guard, dark purple hood , black flats that work like shoes (And are comfortable), and black leggings.

The Paladins had to go in pairs. Pidge went to Hunk and Lance went to Shiro. Keith looked around to find everyone had a buddy. You stepped up and linked his arms with yours. He looked at you and you winked then led him to his Lion. The Lion's hangar opened letting you and Keith inside. The mission was simple defeat the incoming Galra. You weren't going to let Glourian be taken. It wasn't happening. You and the Paladins were separated; Shiro & Lance in the West of the planet, Pidge & Hunk in the North part of the planet, Allura & Coran in the East part of the planet, and You and Keith in the South of the planet. When you both entered the planets orbit, you realized that a Galra ship has already landed.

"Keith, open the hangar!" "What?! No!" "Keith! A ship already landed!" Keith hesitated, but opened the hangar. You jumped out.

Cloud, I need your help

In a few moments you heard the roar of a lion. You looked off into the distance and saw Cloud. You smiled under your mask as Cloud caught you. "Where's Glitch"

"She is working on something that has to do with the Galra. She said it was very important and if she didn't finish, something bad could happen. She told me to tell you that she was sorry for not coming"

"Oh, well I bet it's very important" He purred in agreement. When we landed, we were greeted with blasts of the opposing sides. I took my dual pistols out that were placed in the training room's weaponry closet. I shot about two dozen down whilst Keith took out the ships and big clusters of Galra with his Lion you overheard him name 'Red'. When you both thought the cost was clear...A 'What-you-thought-was-dead' Galran soldier shoots you in your side. It missed by an inch from one of your vital organs. You fell and heard muffled cries.

"Skotos!" You assume Keith has yelled. You softly mumble 'Y/n is my real name' and you succumbed to the darkness even though you heard desperate cries of your friends to stay awake.

That moment replayed in his head over and over again. His punches on the punching bag getting more aggressive each minute.

She chose me as her partner! What kind of partner Let's their friend be taken down?! I failed her! I failed Sko-...Y/n...I failed Y/n! Y/n doesn't deserve to be in a pod right now! She has been in one for a week! It was lucky it missed some of her vital organs...but it was to close!

"Hey Keith?" A soft voice spoke; Breaking Keith's nostalgic trance. "Are you oka- Keith! Your knuckles are bleeding!" The mysterious voice ran towards a first aid kit that was hanging on the wall. "Y/n?" He breathes out as he sees you tending to his bleeding and bruised knuckles. After you are done you let go of his hands and look at him with a smile. "The Guys told me the remaining Galra troops didn't stand a chance against you after I blacked out" His face turned a slight red when you mentioned his 'heroic' actions. You giggle at his actions. You take his hands once again. "Thank you" He turned his head away from you with a now red face. "I did it for you" He mumbles, but you hear. "Awwe! Keith!" You said with an eye-closed smile with your head titled a bit. He thought it was adorable and swore he would die because of you. "Want me to teach you a few things?" You ask with your eyes open, but still a smile on your face. "S-sure"

You both spent the whole day on training and learning a few more moves yourself. You and Keith had a blast.
