The Lost Paladin (Voltron)

Impossibilities

Keith's POV

I put my journal away and get out of bed. Six am sharp, I guess I could train. I sigh as I put on my jacket. Last night was a great night, I enjoyed it so much.

The previous night

The party finishes and I head up to go to bed. I find Lance, moping in the corridor. "There's the other lovebird!" He shouts upon seeing me, and I smack him. "Shut up, you're drunk and even more stupid than usual. Go to bed." I say, pushing him to his room, and I go into mine.

I get out my journal as I take off my suit to put on my normal t-shirt and trousers. I begin to write about the events of the party. I can't help but wonder where Lance got hold of alcohol, and how he was able to sneak it abord past Shiro.

I finish, and close my journal. I switch off the light and put the small book away under my pillow, thinking about Skaye. Together forever...

End of flashback

I head down to the training room, and hear someone running to catch up with me. "Keith, dammit I can't run this early" I hear Skaye panting behind to me as I slow. "It's too early to run, but do you wanna spar?" She asks, coming alongside me.

I nod. "Sure, it's been a while". She smiles and starts to speed up to get ahead of me. I match her pace, and enter the training room. I ready my bayard and throw my jacket to the edge of the room. She does the same.

She smirks and draws out her dagger. She throws it at me, it misses purposefully, and whilst I'm distracted, she jumps in front of me, and her blade catches on mine as she tries to get my bayard away from my hand.

I push her back, and I swing at her, using the distance created to my advantage. She catches the swing with her blade, and jumps back, but kicks my sword in the same movement, causing it to flick out of my hand.

Skaye's POV

I watch him hop backwards towards his bayard, but I run forward, pushing him against the wall, my left arm and katana blocking him from moving.

"For once, I win" I say smugly, "what's my prize?" I ask sarcastically, putting away my bayard. He wraps his arms around me, and kisses me. Passionately, and I kiss back.

I pull away after a while, and gasp. "Keith... I didn't mean it but I guess that'll do" I say, and he laughs.
"Oh yeah? Well what about this?" He says, and picks me up bridal style.

I laugh as he spins me around, and put my arms around his neck. He stops, and I kiss him, catching him off-guard. I break away and he lets me down. "That was fun" he laughs, going to grab his bayard. I pick up my dagger and sheath it.

"Yeah... Shall we get early breakfast?"I ask, looking around for a clock of sorts. "I suppose" comes the reply, and he puts his arm around my waist.

We walk down to the kitchen, and slip inside quietly. I go over to the fridge and get out some milk. "Yeah, we're having milk" I say, throwing it at him.

He catches it, and holds up a box. "No, there's food of some sort in here" it looks like a cereal of sorts, and he splits it between us and leaves a little in the box. "Add the milk, idiot" I say, as he goes to eat the food on it's own.

He laughs and adds milk. I do the same. I look for a clock, and see that only an hour has passed. Oh well, we'll find something to do. I throw the milk carton back at Keith.

"Put that away, I got it out"I say, putting the bowls in the sink. He puts it in the fridge, and whilst his back is turned, I sneak out of the door. I wait for his reaction, and go around the corner.

"You can't get away that easily" I hear him say, and he grabs my arm. I turn around and bump into him. I feel my cheeks heating up. "Uh... Sorry?" I say, going to walk backwards. He stops me and wraps his arms around me.

"What for?" He asks, stroking my hair. A little of a strange thing to do, but I don't mind. I close my eyes and sigh. Something's gonna happen. Something bad...

I hate it when I get premonitions like this. They make me more paranoid than usual. I gasp as I'm suddenly swept off my feet. "You know, it's a bit early. How about we play a game of some sort. We'll discuss it in my bedroom" he says, walking down the corridor, with me in his arms.

Keith's POV

What games could we play in the castle? Hmm... Maybe hide and seek? That'll be fun. We could get the others involved too...

I look down at Skaye. She puts her arms around my neck and hugs me awkwardly. We make it to my room, I go in and lock the door. I place her down on my bed, and stand up.

She sits up almost instantly, and looks towards the door. "Why did you lock it?" She asks. Smart, but a little daft.
"I was thinking we could play hide and seek" I say, and she pulls me down onto the bed.

An alarm goes off and she jumps. "Paladins, wake up. We've received intel on an attack. Hurry to the control room" Allura says over the comm. I sit there, taking in the information, while Skaye stands up, and walks right into the door.

"Ah, I forgot it's locked" she says, and I burst out laughing. I unlock the door and she runs out, towards her room. "Allura said to get your armour" I say, watching her. She shrugs.

"I'm getting my suit. Now go!" She shouts, going in her room. I head down to the armory, and grab my armour and my bayard.

I put on my armour, and go into the control room. Allura stands at the podium with screens showing CCTV footage. "Keith. The Blade of Marmora are on the planet already, take Skaye and join them" she orders, and I look at the equally surprised purple paladin.

"Oh well, come on" she says, going to her launch pad. I go to mine. What do they want with Skaye? Is it because she's Galra? Oh well... It doesn't matter.
