Keith age: 3

Keith sat up quickly in his bed. 

He felt so cold, and he didn't like it at all. He had another bad dream, it was where he was left all alone again.
His mom left him and it hurt, the idea of a mom hurt Keith badly but he was so lucky to have been taken into a pack that loved him dearly. His bad dream was him losing everyone he cared about, leaving him all alone.

 He glanced around his bedroom and he hated every inch of it, he really loved sleeping in the nest with his pack but he couldn't always sleep there because at times his family would be busy with work and missions and Keith had to be put in his room. He hated his bedroom because he had no one around him, making him feel safe, warm and loved.

Keith slowly crawled his way to the end of this bed and climbed off. He held tightly in his hand his favorite blanket, it was fuzzy and kept him warm when he was without his pack. He carried this blanket around almost all the time, there was just something about it that gave him comfort.

As Keith began to exit his room and walk down the hallway, he was staying as quiet as possible, knowing that his pack's hearing was better than his and he didn't want to wake up his Galra family. They at times, would wake up to even the slightest noise and he didn't want to bother them any. They worked hard everyday and helped him and the universe, so Keith felt like he couldn't wake them up because they needed to sleep too. So Keith just tipped toed down the hallway, he still had a tight grip upon his blanket as the end of it dragged across the floor.

Soon Keith stopped once he saw the door he had come across. It was his pack's room, their nest was in there. He placed his hand on the door to push it open but then froze. He really didn't want to wake them up because that seemed mean to him. Without a pack, there would be no one to curl up to, would have no one to protect him from his bad dreams.

Keith peaked in, he could see Kolivan wrapped protectively around the other members of his family. Keith could see Thace, Antok, and Kolivan laying asleep in the nest, all bundled up. Keith then frown, the nest was missing someone in there.

Keith brought his blanket closer towards his chest, as a wave of emotion hit him hard and the tears he had been holding back began to spilled down his cheeks quickly as a small sob slipped through his lips.

That small sob caused Ulaz who was walking around the corner, heading to his nest with his pack to listen  Ulaz stopped and turned the datapad off and looked down the hallway to see Keith, his kit, standing outside their room with tears rolling down his pale checks. 

"Kit, what's wrong?" Ulaz asked as he knelt down to be eye level with Keith. He watched bite his bottom lip and pull his blanket as close as possible to himself.

"I-I...I had a bad dr-dream'' whisper Keith as he sniffled. Ulaz frowned and brushed a few of the tears off of Keith's face.

"Do you wish to sleep in the nest kit, with us?" Ulaz said and waited a moment before he saw Keith nod his head. Keith then smiled a little bit.

"Laz uppy'' Keith said, holding his small hands up towards Ulaz to pick him up. Ulaz smiled down at Keith, his little kit. He loved how Keith couldn't say his name all the way and has just resorted calling him Laz. Ulaz bent forward and pulled Keith up into his arms. 
Ulaz slowly walked into the room with the nest in it and by the two of them entering, Thace began to move, waking up slightly to see what was going on. 

"What happened?" Thace asked.

"The kit had another nightmare'' said Ulaz who slowly climbed into the nest. Keith was still snuggled against Ulaz neck, relaxing within his fur.

"Keith?" voiced Thace, making Keith raise his head up to see Thace which brought a smile upon Keith's face. He then held his arms out towards Thace, so he could hold him now.

"-Ace...hi'' said Keith and Ulaz chuckled along with Thace. They both found it very cute when their little kit tried saying the blades names. Thace took Keith from Ulaz who laid down beside them with Keith snuggled up in the nest between the two of them. 

Suddenly, Keith felt some claws running through his hair and he tilted his head up to see their leader doing this action. Doing this always seemed to calm Keith down and relax. Just as his heavily eyes where slowly closing he felt a tiny kiss against his forehead. Antok's tail wrapped securely around his waist making sure he knew that they were there for him and that they will protect him, no matter what.

With Keith sleeping between his family in their nest he no longer felt cold or had anymore bad dreams that evening.
