**Notes before reading**

This story is written for Keith and Shiro to share the same mother, unlike the actual show. I had this idea before season 2 came out, and instead of changing it, i just kept it. I feel like it feels better this way to me and idk why. But anyways... plus, I do have it written such that Keith's father is abusive. So, TRIGGER WARNING/CAUTION: there is implied abusive content. Most of it is emotional, but there is also going to be some physical. Just to let everyone know. as i have written this, i do not plan on writing any scene that has any physical abusiveness content in it. i dont know about emotional, though. But i want to keep these scenes to a minimum, unless i feel otherwise for the story plot. If any of this changes i will put a disclaimer in different areas to warn anybody before they read it.
