------------------------------------------------------

It had been about a week after Shiro's funeral and since then, the depressed little emo boy has fully moved in with the Holts. He shares a room with Pidge and he loved it there.

But there was no Shiro.

Ever since he fully moved out, having to go through Shiro's stuff just broke him inside. He didn't throw any of it out. He didn't want to forget about him. His grades in school have dropped slightly and Keith has distanced himself from people, though he still talks to Pidge and Hunk.
He mostly spends his time now at the skatepark, blasting Stacy's Mom while trying to land new tricks. (Listening to Stacy's Mom now xD)

People keep trying to comfort him but it makes it worse.
They don't know what it's like to loose a family member
To loose a brother
To loose a best friend.
They say that they understand how he feels but what they don't understand how his depression has spiked since Shiro left. How Keith cried himself to sleep one night. How Keith almost broke his promise to Shiro to not harm himself.

Keith now sat in Astronomy class, doodling random things in his notebook has he paid no attention to the lesson in front of him. He felt his phone buzzing but ignored it, not wanting to talk to people at the moment.

When the once noise filled classroom got suddenly silent it made the black haired boy look up. His indigo eyes looked around and saw all the classrooms eyes on him.
He sat up awkwardly and cleared his throat. He didn't exactly hear what the teacher said and now he had only two options. Say something random and risk getting laughed at or stay silent.

His question was answered as the teacher started talking again.

"Now that you are paying attention I was just explaining to the class our new group project and listing off partners. Keith, you will be partnered with Lance. Hopefully he can get your grades raised up..." The teacher said before continuing to name off partners.

Keith's heart almost stopped. Only he would get the luck to be partnered with his crush. Even from recent events Keith still turned into a stuttering mess around him. Gathering his stuff Keith moved to sit next to Lance, covering his doodles as he turned to face the Cuban boy

The teacher handed out their project information before letting everyone discuss the projects.
Keith gave Lance a half smile before he looked down at the project assignment they got.

"So our project is locating the zodiac constellations and telling the background on them. That's hard to do cause of the light pollution in Altea-"

"I know a spot." Keith whispered, interrupting Lance as he started to write down some things on the paper.

He felt eyes on him as he wrote down the zodiac signs and the basic information he knew about.
Finishing his writing he laid the paper over to Lance and shrugged.

"We could go to the spot to do the project if you want, though we should spend the first week finding information about them." Keith said as his nerd side came out.

Lance smiled and chuckled as he listened to Keith ramble slightly about the project and the stars. Some color was returning to Keith's already naturally pale skin, Lance noticed as he glanced over the other boys features.

The two boys had planned out where they would meet up for the project before the bell rang.
Packing up his stuff quickly Keith mumbled a quick goodbye as his nerd rant confidence he got wore off and a blush danced across his cheeks.

He left the classroom in a hurry and kept his head down as he walked to his locker.
Opening it up he shoved his books inside and took a deep breath to calm himself.
He hadn't felt like that in a while, it was strangely foreign to him though he liked it.

He felt a tingling sensation sweep across his spine like it had during the bank robbery and time slowed down. Keith felt aware of everything as he looked around the hall.
The indigo eyed boy couldn't see what the danger was until he caught glance at one of his best friends, Pidge.

They had their headphones in and was messing with some tech equipment they built, not noticing the heafty (spell check?) laptop cart rolling towards them. The brakes on the cart must have snapped and the person moving the cart must have lost control.

Not wanting his friend to get hurt, Keith quickly ran through the crowded hall, trying not to knock anyone over before he reached out and grabbed Pidge by their shirt and yanked them back.

Keith's surroundings returned to normal once he had a hold of Pidge and the laptop cart zoomed past before crashing into some lockers.
Turning Pidge around, Keith looked them over to see that they were safe, except for the stunned and confused expression they wore.

"How- where... What. Where did you come from?!" Pidge asked looking up at Keith as they pulled their headphone down around their neck.
Keith chuckled and ruffled their hair before leading them back to his locker.

"Well I was born in Korea but I was raised in Texas until I was 13. You should know this." Keith joked as he nudged his smaller friend.

Keith was glad he had Pidge and Hunk and the entire Holt family there for him. They could never replace Shiro but they were still part of his family.

As Keith's thoughts wandered to Shiro he got a black, stony expression on his face.
Why had Shiro died that night?
Who killed him?
What was Keith going to do now?

OK SO I'M ALIVE!! Um... yeah I am so sorry for not updating but I wanted to give this chapter even though it's not as long as I would like it to be, it's more of a filler chapter.

Also... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
No joke I was born on Friday, October 13th at 13:13 military time.

I am now 17 and I'm so happy! I might get a tattoo I'm not sure yet.

But I worked extra hard to give this filler chapter and to give you the first chapter for my new book I'll be writing as well called 'Little Birdie'. It's a Harry Potter book but I'm not saying who the main character will be paired with.

I love you all and I'm sorry for not updating, I loved reading your comments they make my day.

See ya
