A/N: I'll be honest, this one doesn't have much of a plot. Just a head cannon of Galrans born on other planets taking the characteristics of natives living there to naturally blend in. (Hence Keith looking human despite being half Galra) And Keith's mother not being the only one to stumble upon Earth and finding love.
Everyone needs an emotional support Tsuna in their life. The fluffier the better.

Tsunayoshi guarded the prisoners as usual, making sure none of them escaped their fate in the gladiatorial arena. There was a slight chance of winning their freedom but it was slim, even without a corrupted official manipulating events into their favor.
He wore a full body suit, not even a hint of skin visible on him. His fellow guards knew of his mixed heritage and he often got the jobs no one wanted due to his status. Quite hypocritical since Prince Lotor himself had a mixed heritage. Then again Lotor was considered a prodigy and Tsuna was just the son of a traitor that happened to have the ability to use quintessence. Not enough to become a druid but certainly enough for his uncle to claim that his death would be wasting potential.
"Look alive Tsuna, these new prisoners look similar to whatever species you are. Don't get too close to 'em, probably won't last a day in the arena."
Tsuna just nodded, watching several human getting dragged into the holding cells of Sendak's battle cruiser. One was an adult, the other two looked to be around his own age.
"Hey, you speak our language right? Let us go!" Matthew yells.
"You're not going anywhere kid. You're now property of the Galran Empire."

Shirogane tried to find gaps in the security but even then how would they all get back to Earth? Sam and Matt were moved to a separate holding cell after his staged outburst, hopefully that meant they were safe from the arena.
Most of the guards treated him with indifference but there was one that stood out. They had a short stature and wore a full body suit. The short guard was also the only one to show the prisoner's a sliver of kindness, often patching up their wounds from the arena. It was only after a particularly vicious fight that Shiro finally heard them speak.
"You have a warrior's spirit." The guard said softly, carefully replacing the sloppy cloth torniquet on his shoulder with fresh bandages. Shiro's arm had been cut clean off and he'd passed out from blood loss after his fight.
"If you were Galra born you'd have a body to match." Tsuna continued, tightening the bandage.
"Why are you pretending to care?" Shirogane asks through gritted teeth.
There was a brief moment of silence. "I can't set you free but I am allowed to do this much. Please, don't do anything foolish." The last part wasn't directed at Shirogane but another prisoner that had somehow gotten out of their cell. The Galra took out a make-shift knife, aiming to stab Tsuna with it. The arm of Tsuna's suit glowed with an orange light as he punched the prisoner, sending them flying back.
"Do not mistake my kindness for weakness." Tsuna says coldly.

Over the long weeks of captivity, Tsuna had finally learned the humans' names. Shirogane seemed to be from the same country he had been raised in while Samuel and Matthew Holt were a father and son from America. Shirogane would often ask about the pair's condition and Tsuna would assure him that they were exhausted but still alive.
At least, that was usually what Tsuna would report. Today was different, there was a lightness to his step that hinted towards a good mood. "It seems there was a prison escape recently." Shirogane looked up in surprise. It wasn't often the guard would start their conversations.
"It seems that they underestimated how resourceful humans could be and were held in a minimum-security hold, not being labeled as flight risks." Tsuna continued, pretending not to see Shiro collapse to the ground in relief.
It took the man a couple minutes to compose himself to speak. "Thank you."
Tsuna just hummed. "I had no part in it, I'm just the messenger." He says humbly.
"Tsunayoshi!" The small guard flinched as a large Galra stormed over to him, knocking his helmet off of his head and lifting him off the ground by his neck.
Other than fuzzy ears that almost blended in with his messy hair and dark orange eyes he looked human. "Everyone knows you have something to do with the prison escape, it's only a matter of time before our superiors send you to the arena as well." The guard snarls.
Tsuna calmly looked down at his coworker, his eyes narrowed. "Is my loyalty being questioned by a man that's been taking bribes to fix matches? I have honor unlike yourself."
Before the guard could tighten his grip the air around them started to become unbearably hot as heat radiated from Tsuna's suit. The guard released his grip, cursing in pain. Despite holding the only part of Tsuna that wasn't covered by a suit there were still burns on the guard's hands.
The aggressive guard was detained, cursing as he was dragged off to see their superior officer.
"You're... human?"
Tsunayoshi looked at the shocked Shirogane and sighed. "The location of Earth might not be known by the Galra Empire but it doesn't mean that we haven't visited before. My father feared I would be killed in a fight over a family inheritance so my mother and I had to leave. She took the coordinates to Earth with her to the grave."
He placed his helmet back on, Shirogane was already starting to miss the wild light brown hair. "My uncle took a huge risk taking in the child of a traitor. I would never betray his trust."

Tsuna sighed, recalling the hurt expression on Shiro's face. He shook his head, he needed to remind the prisoner not to drop his guard. Everything was constantly being monitored and the moment Tsuna showed weakness he would be removed from his duties.
Under his suit was a dagger, a twin to the one his uncle kept on his person. He was a decade old when he had left Earth, still able to recall the friends that he had as a child. There was no way he was letting the Empire destroy his true home, not if he could help it.
And if he could help a fellow Earthling survive the cruelty of the Galra Empire he was fine with that too.
