Keith's never really felt like he belonged in his body but when he became a paladin he pushed those thoughts aside. Things have quieted down for the paladins and Keith's had a lot of time to think. Dose Keith tell the team that he wants to be a she...
3rd person POV- Keith had just gotten home from school and was eagerly running up the stairs to put on the princess dress while his foster parents where still at work. He never really felt comfortable wearing the dress whilst his foster parents where home, he didn't really know why but he sure was about to find out. Keith had spent the last few hours twirling and dancing around his room wearing the flowing pink dress. He had gotten way to distracted and his music was a little to loud, he hadn't heard his foster parents come in and he couldn't hear his foster father coming up the stairs. By the time Keith realized his foster parents where home it was too late, Bryan his foster father was stood in the door way of Keith's room his face plastered with anger.
Bryan- What the hell do you think your doing ?
Keith- I.. I like wearing it, it makes me look like a princess ...
Bryan- If you want to be a tranny you can get the fuck out of my house. Do you really think its ok to do this we let you into our home and you try to humiliate us like this.
Keith- I.. I'm sorry ... I didn't mean to make you angry ... It wont happen again
Bryan- No it wont because I want you out of my house in the next half an hour, do you understand ?
Keith- Yes sir ...
Bryan quickly turned around and left Keith stood in the middle of the bedroom with tears streaming down his face, Keith jumped at the loud bang as the door slammed behind Bryan as he left. He dried his eyes and garbed his school bag emptying it completely before packing some clothes and of course Mr. Hippo into it and he changed his clothes. After changing his clothes he folded the pink dress neatly and placed it on Lana's bed with a note.
The note-

Keith walked out of Lana's room slung his bag on his shoulders and headed out of the house. Just Keith's luck, it started to rain so he wandered around until he found somewhere dry to spend the night. He wasn't sure how but he could make it on his own, he didn't need them.
2 weeks later - Its been two weeks since Keith was kicked out of his foster home and he's been living on the streets making his way back to the shack him and his dad used to go to in the summer. On his way through town he decided to test his luck at a coffee shop and ask people for food or spare change. That's when he met Shiro and Adam he approached them slowly,
Keith- Excuse me, do you have anything I can eat ?
Shiro- Of course sit down with us, you can pick something off the menu my treat.
Keith- R.. really ? Why you don't even know me ?
Adam- Because were nice people and you look starving, do you not have a home ?
Keith- N.. no they kicked me out ...
Shiro- Can he stay with us baby please ... we cant just leave him on the streets
Adam- I suppose if he would like to stay with us he could, we do have a guest bedroom if your interested.
Keith- R.. really ? would that be ok, your not creeps are you ?
Shiro- Haha, no I just have a soft spot for people in need I try to help when I can uno.
Keith- Well ok, I haven't got anything to lose and a bed is better than the floor.
Keith was starving, he hadn't eaten in days and practically swallowed the food he had ordered whole. He decided that maybe staying in these two men that call themselves Adam and Shiro guest bedroom for a few nights to rest wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Shiro's POV- It's been a few weeks since we met Keith and invited him to stay with us in the guest bedroom, he was reluctant to stay at first but I think we have really started to grow on him. He has even ask for us to apply to foster him so that they can't take him away if they find him, of course me and Adam are more than happy to foster him. We are almost done with all the paperwork and also applying for a school in the area until he's old enough to apply for the garrison which is where me and Adam work.
My family disowned me when I came out as gay after high school, I introduced them to my current boyfriend Adam and they practically threw us out the door, I'm an only child and I suppose that's probably why I try to help foster kids and homeless kids as much as I can. Adam thinks it's because I know how it feels to be abandoned by your own family, to feel lost and alone in the world. I'm really starting to see myself as a child in Keith, I think that's why we get along so well. I'm hopeful that me and Adam will be able to always be there for him and be people he can rely on in this world.
3rd person POV- It's been about 2 months since Keith started staying with Shiro and Adam and about a month since they fostered him. He thought that he would be alone in this world that no one would care for him but now he knows that's not true, now he knows that Shiro and Adam will always be there for him no matter what. Keith knows all these things yet he is still to ashamed and afraid to tell them that he doesn't want to be a boy he wants to be a girl, but what if that changes things ? For now keith is just thankful to have somewhere to stay that he feels safe and food to eat, he will have to deal with how he feels eventually but for now he's content with how things are.
