A/N: I know, I know, I gotta finish my other story but this couldn't wait. So I'm going to attempt to update both of them tonight.

This is basically an AU off of the whole Galra!Keith dealio where, whenever Keith gets too angry, his skin turns purple in little blotches. Oh and he also is aware that he is part Galra but tried to hide it from everyone because he was embarrassed about it. I guess the timeline is probably before any Galra!Keith episodes.

Also, this is a Klance fanfic. Just so you guys know...

Keith and Lance had been fighting for hours, both of them wanting the last word in their argument. What were they fighting over? Whether or not Keith listens to Panic! at the Disco, of course.

Everyone, tired of their bickering, had left the room to do their own thing so it was just the two of them when Lance noticed something a little off with Keith's skin.

"I heard you singing...what's that?" Lance asked pointing at a purple patch that had appeared at the top of Keith's forehead.

He quickly covered it up before Lance could get a good look at it, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"No, I definitely saw something," Lance insisted, "move your hand..."

Keith sighed, clearly annoyed, "There's nothing to see."

"Okay then prove to me that there's nothing and move your hand," Lance countered as he tried prying Keith's hand from his face.

"Get off me, man!" Keith shouted back, taking a step away from the boy.

"C'mon lemme see!"

"There's nothing to see!"

Lance grabbed onto Keith's arm with both of his hands and started pulling with all of his weight, causing Keith to fall over onto Lance, taking his hand off his forehead.

"Ha! I...wait why is there purple on your face?" Lance asked curiously. The red paladin took a scared step back from his friend. Who knew what Lance was gonna do if he put the pieces together?

Keith had to think of an excuse quickly.

"Uh, it's just leftover from Hunk's berry breakfast?" it sounded almost like a question.

"We haven't had any berries since we left Earth, Keith. What's on your face?"

"It's none of your business!" Keith defended himself.

Then, the look on Lance's face changed. Almost hurt. As if he knew that Keith didn't trust him enough to tell him the truth.

I mean, he wasn't wrong.

But that look made Keith almost feel bad for Lance.

"Listen, you really don't want to know..." Keith frowned and looked at Lance with helpless eyes.

"Trust me, I really do," the blue paladin replied ignoring the look Keith was giving him.

The red paladin sighed, "Okay I think I'm done having this conversation. I'm going to my room," he began to walk away when Lance grabbed his shoulder, turned him around and looked him in the eyes. His dark eyes met with Lance's bright blue eyes. That look spoke for itself. Keith finally gave into the boy.

"You can't tell the others, promise?"

"You bet!"

Keith struggled to find the right words before suddenly blurting, "I'm part Galra! Okay?" He sounded almost angry when he said it, like not even he liked the way it sounded. Lance seemed to think about this for a second. It did make a little bit of sense. Keith didn't look very strong but was able to get fairly far in the simulator. Not to mention the fact that his skin had just turned a little purple..

"Hey, that's cool," Lance tried to comfort. He put his hands on Keith's shoulder, who kept rubbing at the purple to get it to go away. Sadly, he had little to no luck with that.

The red paladin grunted in frustration as he rubbed harder at the strange blotch, "go away!" he shouted angrily. For a moment, Lance thought he was talking to him, before realizing that he was yelling at...himself?

"Keith? You okay?" No response.

The purple started to get worse.

"Keith, you gotta calm down," Lance urged, still no response as the rubbing became more frantic.

Lance put his other hand on Keith's left shoulder, this time. Without thinking too much he pulled the boy into a hug. It was awkward, of course, and Keith tried hard to pull away. But Lance wouldn't let him. After a few moments Keith stopped struggling and just let Lance hug him.

The two boys sat in silence for a few moments before Lance spoke up, "It's okay. Your secret is safe with me."

Keith slowly pulled away from the embrace and Lance let go. The red paladin looked his friend in the eyes. He had never expected to feel so comfortable in Lance's arms. It made him feel happy on the inside.

Lance gave Keith his signature cocky smile, "I knew it would work."

The red paladin gave Lance an "are you serious?" look before standing up and walking out of the room, "I'm going to my room."

Lance couldn't see it, but Keith had a genuine smile on his face.

"Wait, guys, do you hear that?" The tech-savvy paladin asked, holding a hand up to their ear.

Everyone listened.

"Uh...no," Shiro responded, confused.

"Exactly! They stopped fighting!" Pidge smiled and everyone gave a sigh of relief.

Allura looked over to the room the boys were in before, "What do you think happened?"

"I'm not sure, but I am glad they stopped," Hunk smiled.

The door slid open and out came Keith. The boy had a small smile that he attempted to hide the second he saw the rest of the team.

Shiro stepped forward, "hey, what happened in there? Usually you guys fight for hours after we leave the room."

"I'd rather not talk about it," Keith responded, trying to hold a look as if he didn't really care. Secretly, he had butterflies fluttering around in his stomach, bouncing off walls. The boy wanted to laugh, smile, but he also wanted to go hide from Lance. From everybody.

He, of course, didn't completely trust Lance to keep it from everyone. The right words from Allura could cause him to fess up in seconds.

Little did he know, Lance was going to stay true to his promise.

Dinner was the most awkward. The red and blue paladins had gotten into fights constantly, but they never made up without Allura or Shiro forcing it upon them. Not to mention the whole hug between the two. No one else had seen it, but Keith and Lance weren't the best at hiding the fact that something definitely happened during that fight.

While they were eating, Lance seemed to be a bit more considerate of what he was saying to Keith. He'd still say insults but they were weaker than what's usually expected of him, and that's not a lot.

"So...how were you guys able to make up?" Hunk asked awkwardly, starting up a conversation.

"Yeah, you guys usually fight for hours on end," Pidge contributed.

"That's really not important right now," Lance responded and took a look in Keith's direction, who had his typical bored look on his face, watching the exchange happen.

Shiro smiled, "We're just glad that you two were able to get it together before dinner."

"What do you mean?" Keith asked.

"Hey, it really was nothing. Right, Keith?"

Jeeze, Lance was being a bit too careful about this.

"Let's just forget about it," Keith sighed and slumped over his food, picking at it with his fork.

"Ditto," Lance said and tried imitating Keith. Hunk laughed quietly at Lance's perfect Keith expression.

So, maybe Lance wasn't making the best choices. One minute he's trying to help, the next he's instigating a new fight. Keith wasn't even surprised at this point.

Everyone seemed to keep to themselves for the rest of the dinner, Lance cracking a joke every once in a while as an attempt to lighten the mood.

A/N: Just a quick warning, my chapters are only about 1,000 words each, but I guess I update somewhat quickly? Okay not really but I don't exactly have too much time lately.

Reading and reviewing will shorten the gap in between chapters, though so please do so. Not for me, for Klance.

And for any Klance shippers who also ship Keith and Shiro, I could have a few of those moments too. Just ask. But this story is going to be primarily based on Klance.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you all in the next chapter!

BYE!
