The Reason Why
It was 6AM and Keith's alarm clock went off. He jumped out of bed, changed into a black form-fitting uniform, and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. While doing this he never onc looked in the mirror. Today there was early morning lion practice. Allura, Lance Pidge, and Hunk were standing in the middle of the hall talking. Keith pulled on his boots and stepped out h his room. Upon seeing their fearless leader's face, the rest of the team busted out laughing, except Allura, who didn't find it funny at all.
Allura walked up to Keith and asked," Are you feelig better today?"
Keith flashed Allura a weak smile. Allura understood that it meant he ws feeling a bit better, but not completely better. Allura was concerned about Keith because she loved him.
Allura whispered," You'll only feel worse the more you do. Let me tell Lance and you rest."
Keith said," All righht Allura, you win. I'll go back to bed."
Allura rested her hadnd on Keith's shoulder and said," After lion practice I'll escort you to the infirmary."
Keith went back to his room, Hunk and Pidge decided to get ahead of the other two, leaving Allura to talk to Lance.
Lance asked," What do you want to tell me?"
Allura responded," Keith is not feeling well. He needs to rest."
Lance nodded and they went to lion practice. After destroying several robots, they headed back to Castle Command. Once back, Hunk volunteered to teach the cadets for the day, Pidge and Lance took a look at the black lion's control response time. Allura kept her promise to Keith and escorted him to the infirmary.
Back in the Classroom...
Hunk asked," Okay, whose idea was it to scribble al over Keith's face?"
Daniel replied," It was my idea."
Hunk asked again," Who added the superglue and glitter?"
Larmina raised her hand.
Hunk continued teaching.
The infirmary...
A nurse walked into the waiting room and waved for Keith to follow her.
Allura asked," Nurse, may I come and sit outside his room?"
The nurse responded," Yes of course your highness."
Allura and Keith stood up and followed the young woman down a hallway and to the right. Allura sat outside the room. Soon an I.V. team walked into the room, but most of them ran out. Thy had left pretty quickly. Allura went into the room only to find one member of the I.. team cowering in the corner. Keith was passed out on the floor.
Allura asked," What happened?"
The young I.V. tech answered," I had to give him something to make him calm down."
Allura easily picked Keith up and put him on the bed. The young I.V. tech continued his work and left before Keith had a chance to wake up. Allura thought it might be best if she sat in the chair on the opposite side of the room.
Allura thought 'Keith must hate needles.'
Keith suddenly shot up out of the bed.
Allura said crossing the room," Keith don't take that I.V. line out of your arm."
Keith asked," Why not?"
Allura replied," More needles."
Keith rolled his eyes and sat back down on the bed. Keith loved Allura, but didn't know how to tell her. Allura wants to tell Keith her feelings, but decided to keep it secret for now.
Allura spoke softly," Are you feeling any better?"
Keith responded," Yes, a lot better."
The doctor entered the room and smiled at Allura and Keith.
He said," Keith was very dehydrated. He can leave now."
Keith murmured," Finally."
While walking down the hall, Keith had gotten many funny looks. By th etime he got to his room confusion had consumed him.
Keith asked," Why is everyone giving me a funny look?"
Allura responded," Take a look in the mirror."
Keith looked in the mirror and was seriously ticked off. He was determined to find out whodrew on his face during the night.
