Keith sat back and played with his dagger. The paladin leader asked him questions that he didn't know the answers for and then left him alone in a room. He growled and looked at the symbol on his dagger. 

"Not even one of you and I'm dragged into your mess." He grumbled and twitched his ear when the door open. The paladin that he saved walked in with a plate of goop. "What do you want?"

"Calm down furry boy, I brought you some food." Keith glared at him. "Sorry, Keith right?"

"Yes." Keith settled down and looked at the food. "You're telling me that's food?"

"Heh, it looks a bit weird but you should try some." Lance pushed the plate over so it was in front of him. "Come on~ You've been in here for a while, you must be hungry."

"Fine." He sighed and grabbed a spoonful of the goop. He took the bite and his yellow eyes widened. A purr rose in his throat. He stopped though when he saw that smirk that spread on Lance's mouth. "Don't you even..."

"Too Late!" Lance pounced on him. Keith tried to run but Lance was stronger now that he was healed, and already well fed. Lance grabbed him and held up his arms with one hand and moved the other hand down to under his chin. 

"I will kill you!" Keith warned as he wiggled around under his grasp. Lance rolled his eyes and started to pet under his chin as if Keith was a cat. 

Keith's body responded without his permission. He started to settle down and a purr started to rise in his throat. His yellow pupils went wide with comfort and he stopped fighting as Lance kept petting him. Lance let go and started to rub the lower parts of his ear. A smile of awe replaced the smirk.

"Um...Lance?" Lance froze and turned to look at Shiro. "What are you doing to him?" Lance looked down. He was straddling Keith and it didn't necessarily looked consented. 

Keith finally snapped out and shoved Lance off of him. "Never do that again." Keith said and sat back down in the chair where he started eating again.

"Lance..." Shiro looked at him with a frown of disapproval. 

"It wasn't something dirty!" Lance exclaimed and stood up. "He purrs! Like a cat!" 

Shiro shook his head and walked past him back to Keith. "Sorry for Lance, Keith." Shiro smiled at the half galra, who grunted in response. 

Pidge and Hunk peeked into the room. "Wow, he doesn't respond to Space Dad's smile of reassurance." Pidge mumbled.

Keith glanced up at them. Hunk was big and sturdy looking which made him cautious, meanwhile Pidge was small but her calculating gaze made him want to stay on her side. He looked at Shiro, he was muscular with scars which made Keith on edge, unlike with Lance. Lance was tall and lengthy with obvious strength and flirty goofiness that made him a tad annoying. Basically Keith didn't trust anyone.

Shiro tapped on the table to grab Keith's attention. Keith looked at him with narrowed yellow eyes. "We have all the info we need, but I'd like you to stay with us."

"You want me to stay on an Altean ship? With a princess that want's my head on her wall." Keith growled and grabbed his dagger. "Fat chance. I'm leaving."

"Will you at least spend the night and think about it?" Shiro stood up, towering over him. "I think there is a lot we can learn from you, please?"

"Come on mullet, it's just a night." Lance piped up and slung his arm around Keith's shoulder. Keith glared at him and pushed his hand away.

"Fine, but don't touch me." Keith said with a brooding look on his purple face.

"Well Lance, since you seem so close, you can help Keith while he's here!" Shiro said and left before the Latino could protest.

Lance pouted. "Well I'm stuck with you now." 

Keith rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. 'Someone kill me.' He thought with a frown. 

"Well as you know, I am Lance, the shorty over there is Pidge, and the big guy is Hunk, and the guy with white bangs is Shiro. The princess is Allura, and the guy with the mustache is Coran." Lance named off and Pidge and Hunk walked into the room.

"I'm not an idiot, I picked up on that." Keith said and looked away from them.

"Welcome to the castle!" Hunk walked forward and picked Keith up in a hug.

"Put. Me. Down." Keith demanded and glared. Hunk obeyed with a small sorry.

"Not too friendly are ya?" Pidge hummed and fixed their glasses on their nose. 

"I saved blue boy over there and you attacked me. Why would I trust you?" Keith countered and walked away from them towards the window to look at space.

Lance, Pidge, and Hunk shared a look. "Right, sorry about that Keith." Pidge said and walked towards him. "We thought you hurt Lance so..."

"Whatever." Keith said and kept his arms crossed. The way he stood was like he was expecting an attack. This didn't go unnoticed so they left the room so he could have a few minutes to calm down and relax.
