❝I’m sorry,❞ Lance says, the blood rushing through his ears almost drowning out his own voice. ❝I don’t think I heard you right. At all. Like, I couldn’t possibly have, except the look on your face is leading me to believe I did hear right, which makes sense because I have impeccable hearing, but –❞ Lance swallows around his semi-hysterical words, eyes dropping to the outstretched blade, particularly to the bright, almost-glowing symbol on it.
❝That,❞ he says, intelligently, ❝is a knife.❞ He looks up from it to Keith’s face, unable to make out what kind of emotion has crossed upon it. ❝A big knife, with a Galran symbol on it, which you said you unlocked the potential of.❞ He looks down at it again. ❝Keith,❞ he says, hysterically, ❝what are you trying to tell me, exactly?❞
❝Lance – please don’t freak out.❞
desperation colors his voice. his throat feels too thick to continue immediately, almost as if he’s allergic to the thick gulp of air he had swallowed for courage. telling the others had gone SPECTACULARLY wrong; allura doesn’t look at him the way she used to, pidge gathers up her things to work elsewhere when he enters the room, hunk won’t stop asking to touch him and asserting that he’s a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON now.
as if that isn’t exactly what keith is afraid of.
❝I really can’t deal with anybody else freaking out over this, okay? Just – do me a favor and. I don’t know. Pretend it’s okay? Pretend I’m not a freak or the enemy or – …at least until I leave the room? Please.❞
lance is asking for an answer too direct; he’s asking for something that keith just isn’t capable of right now. how can keith bring himself to say the words if no one he cares about can bring themselves to listen?

RULES--PLEASE READ.
Introduction
♔ — The mun is called Summer. She/Her. And I’m of age—24 years old, if you’re curious.
♔ — Keith is, obviously, a VLD character. But crossovers make the world go ‘round and I’m totally always down with interacting with people that have blogs for other fandoms. Hell, sometimes even fandoms I’m not familiar with, if I’m intrigued.
♔ — MUN IS AUTISTIC. If I say something, and you don’t 10000% understand where I’m coming from or what I’m saying or whatever, ask me to elaborate. I will. I have a tough time articulating why certain things make me uncomfortable and it may take me a while to find the wording. So if you see me say something is bad or wrong and not explain why, just ask. It takes a few tries for me to get my explanation right.
♔ — My theme bg is mine and so are my icons so please don’t take them/mess with them.
♔ — Don’t be shy about asking me to plot with you or something. I swear I’m just a tremendous nerd and when people say they like my portrayal of my muses I turn all red and make weird noises I’m grateful you can’t actually see so there’s no reason to be scared, okay? Ask box is always open.
♔ — Skype is available to mutuals on request.
Roleplaying
♔ — I’m semi-selective. I’m not obligated to respond to something or follow back if I feel like it/we don’t jive.
♔ — Multiverse and multiship.
♔ — That said, ABSOLUTELY NO SHALADIN!!!! Will ever!! Be on this blog in any nonplatonic fashion!!!! If you ship this, I WILL block you. No exceptions. If you refer to people speaking out against shipping children with adults as a "ship war" or call them "antis", you will be blocked. That's it. Bottom line.
♔ — Also, I'm really not into people who are transmisogynistic about Pidge so if you subscribe to Pidge Is A Boy theories or try and write Pidge cis you might as well...not bother following me..
♔ — I tend not to write greeting posts besides in the very beginning of my blogs. I’ve found on other blogs that when I write greeters for everyone, they go without being answered and it becomes a drain of energy and it makes it hard to get to my replies. I might surprise you with one if I’m really feeling it, but generally I won’t. Shoot me a message if we’re just followed each other but haven’t spoken and you want to! c:
♔ — I love being tagged in random things okay if you just tag me in something it’s very, very likely I’ll love you forever.
♔ — Triggery content will be appropriately tagged, and any NSFW (if any?) will be tagged and under a read more. Mostly because I’m embarrassed of my smut writing and will probably want to keep it as hidden as possible like a huge nerd.

basic information
FULL NAME: Keith Kogane
NICKNAME: None
AGE: 16/17? (Some verses may be older like college verses or something so I'll say verse dependent)
BIRTH DATE: TBA, apparently
ETHNICITY: Japanese, Half Galra
GENDER: Male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: He gay dude stop it,
RELIGION: Grew up going to church with his Christian Texan father , but is non-practicing.
SPOKEN LANGUAGE: English, some Japanese, recognizes a few Galra words/symbols without remembering how or why
FEARS: Being rejected (by the other paladins and by his lion), his efforts to be a good person not being enough due to his galra blood, losing people
MENTAL DISORDERS/DISABILITIES: Autistic
WHEN WAS THIS DIAGNOSED?: It wasn't. Guidance counselors batted the idea back and forth but decided to just "wait and see what happens", hoping he'd grow out of it. He did not. Luckily for him, the lack of paper diagnosis is part of the reason he was accepted into the Garrison. If he had it--or received one while he was there--he would've been kicked out much sooner than he was.
personality
INTELLIGENCE: Intelligence is a fucked up useless concept but he's a smart boy. He was top of his class at the Garrison before he was kicked out.
LIKES: Heart-to-Heart discussions, letting off steam via training, low commitment hangouts (being near each other but doing your own thing)
DISLIKES: So many of the things that Lance chooses to be and say, he's still a little iffy on food goo, people treating him strangely/differently from other people, the fact that people think he's super angry all the time when that's just his face
DISPOSITION: He comes off angry/irritated/sad a lot of the time when really he is just contemplative and doesn't emote well, but he really is friendly and loyal. He cares for people a lot, and it doesnt take him long to get "I would die for you" attached.
biography
For as long as Keith could remember, he was damn good at fighting. His blood ran hot with it--the familiar itch to swing striking every time some kid asked him why he didn't have a Mom.
Not that it changed the fact that he didn't have one, of course.
Young men with missing pieces and learned fists often find their place in the military. But Keith had always been regarded by adults to be like a changeling; eyes too big and dark and curious, too many questions, face too serious and thoughtful to be anyone's REAL son. His probing inquiries eventually outweighed his exemplary performance and he was cast out; left searching for answers alone. At least, until the burning questions of three other teens lead them to collide at the center.
You see, young people with missing pieces and unanswered questions often find their place among each other.
It turns out that the center's name was Shiro, and with the five of them together--saving the galaxy one planet at a time, slowly growing used to each others' idiosynchrasies--Keith finally had something he needed.
But he still had questions.
Is it selfish to go looking for where you came from after already finding where you belong? Would it wound his newfound family that he needed to know more about the circumstances of his birth?
