Keith's pov

"Keith! You disrespectful little shit!" David yelled as I ran from him, stumbling up the stairs and into the room they let me stay in. I slammed the door and locked it, pushing the dresser in front of the door too before grabbing my back pack with all my belongings in it. I didn't have anything besides the cloths I was wearing now, my shoes, and a few more shirts.

"Open the door!" Jenny screamed as I heard someone try to open the door.

"God damn it, Jenny, I fucking knew he would steal from us!" David yelled, slamming into the door again.

I ran over to the window, throwing it open, taking one last glance at the door they managed to get open but now they had to get the dresser out of the way.

"Don't you fucking dare, you little faggot!" David growled when he saw me crouched in the window sill.

Taking a deep breath I launched myself out the window, rolling when I hit the ground and landed back onto my feet. Straightening my jacket I took off down the road, running as fast as I could.

"Keith! Get back here!" I heard Jenny yell making me glance back to see her standing in the road, screaming at me.

I ignored her and kept running, dodging around bikes and cars, jumping over fences until my heart was hammering in my chest and I felt my legs burning but I kept running. I need to get out of this neighborhood before they call the police.

I didn't steal from them, I've never stolen from anyone before. Jenny asked David if he knew where her money went and David instantly blamed me. I didn't try to tell them I don't do it, David's the one who took her money, not me.

"Watch out, kid!" A man snapped when I almost ran into him.

I kept my head down, trying to keep my breathing normal and my heart rate low so I could run longer. I'm used to running long distances at full speed but I was a little out of practice because David forced me to stay in the house and clean. I wasn't allowed to go outside unless it was to help Jenny take groceries inside.

I shook my head, pushing those people into the back of my mind with the rest of my old foster parents. They all kicked me out for one reason or another. I never did anything wrong, I was just trying to stay out of the way and be silent.

When I got to my destination I stopped, panting softly as I pulled my backpack higher on my back. Walking over to the door I knocked softly and waited, glancing around a bit. The door finely opened and I smiled, Shiro's face showed more confusion and shock than anything.

"Keith, how'd you get here?" He asked, looking behind me for any sign of a car.

"I ran." I said, shifting from my left to right foot nervously. Maybe I shouldn't have came here...

"Keith, their house is ten miles away..." He said in shock.

"C-can I maybe stay here?" I asked nervously, biting my lip as I looked down, hiding behind my hair.

"Wait, why do you need to stay here? What happened? Did they hurt you?" He asked, looking at me for any signs of injury.

"T-they kicked me out." I sighed softly, glancing up at Shiro. He looked concerned as he let me in, guiding me into the living room.

"What happened, Keith? You can tell me." He said with a smile, resting his hand on my shoulder.

"David blamed me for the money missing from Jenny's purse. I saw him take it, Shiro... but h-he said that if I said anything he would hurt me. I-I was scared so I didn't say anything but Jenny figured out that money was missing." I said, looking down again. "I didn't want them to hurt me, Shiro... they already hurt me so many times, I didn't want them to again."

"Why didn't you tell me, Keith? I could've gotten you out of there." Shiro said, hugging me tightly, I hugged him back, breathing shakily.

"I was scared... and I couldn't call you, they wouldn't let me use the home phone." I mumbled against his neck.

"You're going to stay here with me and I'm going to call your agent and make them find other foster parents." Shiro promised, making me feel a bit better.

"I wish you could just be my foster parent..." I mumbled under my breath but we both know that couldn't happen. Shiro's job made it impossible for him to supervise me at home. He was so busy with his job I was glad it was Saturday night so he'd have tomorrow off.

"Keith, I know but I can't, I wish I could."

"I know..."

"But your 18th birthday is coming up soon. I want you to come live with me when you turn 18." Shiro said making me gasp softly.

"Really?"

"Yeah, we'll have movie nights and we can play board games and bake together-"

"Stop being weird." I giggled, punching his arm lightly.

"I think you'll like the training space at the station. I can see if theirs any spots for the training rig open if you want."

I nodded excitedly before stopping, hearing sirens blaring outside. My eyes widening when I noticed they weren't going away.

"S-Shiro... the cops are here." I mumbled, feeling anxiety prickly in the back of my mind. What if they make me go back to David and Jenny? They'll hurt me again. I don't wanna go back there.

"Shiro, we gotta stop getting calls, buddy, the kid needs to go home." Officer Hunk sighed, flipping his notepad shut. "Come on-"

"Actually, I need to make a police report for child abuse." Shiro cut him off.

"They hurt Keith? Is he okay?" I heard Hunk say.

"Yes they did hurt him and they kicked him out. He's okay but they broke almost half of their regulations to take care of him so he will be staying here until this is all sorted out and his case worker comes."

"I'll put in the report right away and I need to speak to Keith about it if he's up for it." Hunk said.

I sighed and stood up, walking into the room. Hunk's warm smile made me feel a bit better about all of this. He was always a nice guy and he knew that I would be here ever time my foster family would call the station to report that I was missing.

"How're you feeling, Keith?" Hunk asked, leading me out of his car. I shrugged and began telling him what has been happening over the last month.
~~~~~

"I don't wanna go with them, Shiro." I whined, rolling onto my back. "Can't you just tell them to come in a week?"

"I can't and I'm sorry, Keith. I hate the fact that you have to live with people you don't know but I promise you I made sure this family was good. I talked to the case worker until she found the right one that I know you'll like." Shiro said as he cleaned up the room a bit. "They only live a block away too and if anything happens, anything at all I want you to come here."

"I won't like any of them." I grumbled to myself. "Thanks, Shiro."

"No problem, Keith. Okay, they'll be here soon so go take a shower and try to relax. It'll only be for a few more months and then you're free."

"Fine..."
