3rd Person's POV

When your soulmate turns 18 no matter how old you are you feel the pain they have been through, both physically and mental, for a whole day.

So imagine how Lance felt as he heard Keith burst out screaming on the day of his birthday.

Lance's POV

"AHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA"

"KEITH!" 

WHAT TIME IS IT? 8:59, well that's the time down in Cuba at least.

FUCK!!

I grab my jacket running out of my room, pulling it on as I burst into Keith's room ignoring the burning feeling in arms.

"KEITH?!?! ARE YOU OK?"

Keith was curled up in the corner of his bed trembling. 

He looked up at me, face scrunched up in pain. 

"Ugh... I think my soulmate turned," Keith gasped loudly, legs trembling. "FUCK!!" He screamed pulling a pillow to his chest squeezing it tightly. "Eighteen, they turned eighteen."

I looked to the side feeling incredibly guilty. 'Dang it, this is my fault. Another thing you screwed up.'

Keith looked back to me. "What the fuck? Are you-" He gasped again now grabbing his jaw. 

'Age seven, jaw broken by my drunk father.' 

A tear ran down Keith's cheek. "Get Shiro!"

"NO TIME!" I yelled knowing soon he would be feeling worse.

I picked up Keith as he curled up into my arms. I ran out into the dining room where everyone was already gathered.

"Lance late- FUCK IS THAT KEITH?!!" Shiro jumped out of his seat and ran up to me and pulled Keith out of my arms. 

We ran to the living room like area as I was explaining to Shiro what has happened.

"His soulmate turned eighteen!" I yelled as Shiro opened the door to the living room.

Shiro carefully placed Keith down on the sofa. Pidge, Hunk, and Allura came into the room shortly after.

"Ok what the FUCK is everyone yelling about?" Pidge yelled to no one in general.

"Pidge! Language!" Shiro scolded turning to Keith.

"Keith's soulmate turned eighteen." I said to Pidge and Hunk. 

I go and sit next to Keith who is now grasping his arms violently. 

'Age eight and about a quarter, first arm broken, bullies I think.'

"I feel it, I feel it all. The emotional pain, the physical pain, every thing." Keith mumbled looking down.

Shiro looked over to Pidge. "Can you do something so we can at least know who is his soulmate so we can help them?" 

'FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK PLEASE SAY NO!' I tense up turning my attention to Pidge.

"No, sorry."

'Thank the lord.'

"Shiro, I may have a solution. The Alteans have found a method of knowing who your soulmate is, and how to lessen the pain for the people who have soulmates with bad lives." Allura chimed in thoughtfully.

'Noooooooooo...' I sigh rubbing my arm. 'I never bandaged my arm, did I?'

Shiro smiles widely. "That's perfect Allura!"

Keith grunted but sat up clearly wanting to find out who he is destined to be with. 

'He wouldn't be keeping so calm if he knew who his soulmate is.'

I follow Allura as she leads us to where the pods are. 

We enter as Keith falls to the floor, clutching his chest and arms legs trembling.

'Age nine, fell out of a tree after someone; ugh I can't remember who; chased me up there.'

He sat there for a bit. Allura got Coran to set the thing up. Shiro, Hunk, Pidge, and I all gathered around Keith.

I push past Pidge and I offer my hand to Keith knowing for a couple minutes the pain will calm down a bit. I hope at least. He grabs my hand and I pull him up.

"I got it started, Paladins bring Keith over here." Coran says stepping back from the device.

I help walk Keith over to Coran who puts a band-aid with a wire attached to a high-tech box on Keith's nose.

"Wait, what does it do?" Hunk asked walking up to Keith.

"I'm glad you asked, it takes away most of the pain Keith here is experiencing, and replaces the pain with the ability to see what is going on." Coran answered while stroking his mustache. 

I shivered slightly. 'Oh remember what's about to happen?'

Coran turned on the device, and Keith's eyes went blank. "I see it. Oh," His arm tingles slightly. "This is weird. I can't see the person, I only see through their eyes."

I watch as Keith flinches every now and again.

"It's also weird how I can only see the injuries the person is getting, it is skipping school and that." Keith said quietly, turning his head slightly.

It was silent for a couple minutes until Keith started mumbling something sounding very worried.

"Keith, KEITH! WHAT'S WRONG?!" Shiro rushed up to the place Keith was sitting.

"They just tried to commit suicide." Keith answered in a weak sort of defeated tone.

Hunk gasped, Pidge closed her eyes tightly, Coran looks down, Allura stumbled back a bit, and Shiro had a sad sort of dad look in his eyes.

'Aaaah there we go, it happened.'

I put on a fake frown and I walk up to Keith who was now awkwardly rubbing his neck. "Are they ok?"

"Yea, seems like an older sister walked in right before they kicked the stool out from..." Keith mumbled quietly. 

Shiro shook his head. "Such a shame, they are still alive though?"

"Yes but barely, they try again to commit suicide again,"

'Drowning in the bathtub.'

Keith shudders but looks up. "Guys, they went to the Garrison."

"Really! Does the person see us?" Pidge exclaims/questions. Hunk nodding.

"Give me a second to watch." Keith says looking out into no where, but some where.

'Oh no, he's gonna know soon, leave, leave now.' I turn to leave, but Hunk stops me.

"Lance, you knew a lot of people, right? Maybe you knew this person."

I chuckle nervously. "Yea, maybe."

"I don't know about Lance, but Hunk knew the guy, and I have confirmed it, my soulmate is a he." Keith says blushing slightly.

Pidge whistled, Hunk giggled a bit, and Shiro pat Keith on the back. I just kinda stood there, not knowing what to do.

'He will know anytime know.'

Keith gasps a bit. "I see me! I knew him!" Keith angrily pulled at his hair. "I could have helped them!!!"

Shiro once again pat Keith on the back, but this time it seemed sad, in a way.

I once again turn to leave, this time no one stopping me. Before I got to the door Keith spoke up again.

"I remember this..." Keith for a second there looked really happy that he had found out who his soulmate is, but his mood instantly dropped remembering what has happened to the person.

I open the door.

I take a step out.

"Lance?"

I turn around. 'Fuck! You could have ran!'

"Yes Mullet?"

Keith takes off the nose thing, gets up, pushes past Shiro.

'He is going to slap me, I repeat, he is going to slap me.'

And to my surprise, grabs my arms with tears in his eyes, "Oh Lance." 

And hugs me.
