You had never realized just how much Keith loves knives. Needless to say, he loves them a lot. That doesn't have anything to do with what you're doing right now, but it's a thought that passes through your mind quite frequently.

The fact that there's a knife under the pillow your head is resting on totally has nothing to do with the thoughts streaming through your head.

Keith is resting in front of you, his back moving up and down as he breathes softly. Ever since he almost killed himself, everything's been out of whack. He hasn't been himself, but you know that almost sacrificing yourself is clearly going to take a serious toll on your mental health.

When everyone was back at the castle, Matt started yelling him with various versions of "What were you thinking?!" The paladins told him to back off, Matt took Keith to a different room (which you followed them to and waited outside). Matt started crying and asked Keith why he would try something like that, to which Keith started silently crying, and everything was just a mess.

"Why would you do that?!" Matt clutched onto his shoulders. He quietly asked again, "Why would you do that?"

Keith was no longer crying, just staring off into space. "It's a war, Matt. We have to make sacrifices to win."

"You wouldn't even be able to break through the shield! Your death would be in vain!" Matt took in a deep breath, "Don't you get it? You would have died for nothing if Lotor hadn't broken through their shield!"

At this point, you rushed into the room, angry tears forming in your eyes. "You were trying to do what?!"

Keith looked at the wall to his left. "This doesn't concern you, Y/n."

You marched up to him. "Oh, I believe this does, in fact, concern me." Quickly reaching your arms out, you pulled him into you. Quietly, you asked, "What were you thinking?"

"That it would do more good then it actually did," he whispered, voice hoarse.

You held him tighter. "We all care about you, so don't go thinking anything stupid like you don't matter. I love you." It was something you had said to him before, and each of the paladins, because they were your family and you loved them. But this time... it was different. "I love you and you better not forget it."

So here you are, lying next to a boy who's (hopefully) having a peaceful sleep. You move slightly closer and wrap an arm over him protectively while snuggling closer to him.

"...Y/n?" He mumbles, "What..."

You wince awkwardly, "Did I just wake you up?"

He shakes his head slightly. "No?"

"Go back to sleep," you smile.

He rolls over to face you, and your eyes widen slightly at how close you two are. "What time is it?"

"Oh, um, it's like the equivalent of six something in the morning, since there isn't really a constant time measurement between Alteans and humans, and time is relative-"

Keith laughs, "You don't have to explain every time, Y/n. We should get up, right?"

"No, you are supposed to be getting extra sleep, mister I-only-sleep-four-hours-a-day," you glare at him. "That's why I'm watching you." You smack your face, "That sounded weird."

He smirks, "It did. How about you repay me for that by letting me get up?"

You sit up and flop backwards, your back going over his stomach. "No can do, sir. As you can see, I am currently stuck in an awkward position and can't move."

Keith coughs, "I can't move, but I'm pretty sure you can."

"No I can't!"

He smirks again, "We'll see about that." He reaches his hand forward and drags a finger along the side of your stomach.

You let out a squeal and try to cover your stomach with your hand, "Stop it!" You forgot one thing: he knows you're ticklish.

"I'll stop when you get off."

"Never!"

You smile to yourself, despite the tickle torture. I think he'll be alright.
