Kallura month #25 Rose gold
~~~
Rose Gold: Compassion, composure, warmth
~~~
A young man with wild black hair ran his legs pumping as fast as they fast as they possibly could. He wore a faded cropped jacket that was red and white, with a black tee underneath.
His black hair was swinging all over the place and people ducked out of the way trying to dodge him.
He ran up a short stair case in front of a small house impatiently knocking on the door. The door opened to reveal a young man with white bangs.
“Where is she?” Keith asked without a beat
Shiro motioned into the hallway towards a lonely door and Keith took off again jogging into the house. He opened the door and Allura sat up on the bed her eyes red.
“Oh Allura I’m so sorry I came as soon as I heard” Keith said quickly as she ran collapsing into his arms.
She hiccuped crying into his jacket and he held her softly stroking her hair. “I’m so sorry baby, I’m sorry” He murmured.
“He’s gone!, I can’t believe he’s gone!” She cried gripping him tighter.
Keith pulled her against him feeling her chest heave as she sobbed into his jacket. He stared ahead his heart throbbing painfully but he ignored and instead held her.
This was her time to break down not his. She needed him to be strong right now.
Put your head on my chest Let me help you forget When your heart needs to break Just break on me
~~~
Keith straightened his jacket checking his watch again. Allura said she would be here at 3, so where was she.
Keith started pacing the box in his jacket starting to burn a hole in his pocket the more he paced. He was really starting to worry.
There was a honk and Keith smiled all tension and worry flying off as he saw his girlfriend wave from her small mini-van.
She got out hurrying over to him and his brain ceased to function for a second at what she was wearing.
She had on a floor length navy blue gown with a tan bodice with pattern on it. It was mesmerizing to Keith and he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“It looks wonderful! I’m sorry I was late” Allura beamed looking around.
Keith smiled at the effort he had put into the decoration for the date. He was using his dad’s old boat house and he had cleared it out except for a table near the window.
Old fashioned laterns were hung up scattering a soft glow around the area and the table had a soft white candle to light it up.
On the table two small plates and wine glasses were set up along with a container of food.
Allura smiled and Keith motioned for her to sit down to eat.
The two ate and talked sipping on wine for most of the evening. Finally Keith brought out a small cd player and hit play offering a hand.
Alllura took it smiling. They began to softly sway around to the soft beat coming from the player. Keith smiled smiled and twirled her making her skirt flare out.
She came back and they stood there for a moment just gazing into each others eyes mesmerized. Finally Keith realized this was the moment he wanted to keep forever.
“You know … You are the most beautiful person I have ever met” He whispered
Her eyes lit up and she looked up at him her eyes shimmering in the lantern light. It was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen and nobody would convince him otherwise.
“The first time I met you is one I’ll never forget” He laughed throwing his head back.
Allura smiled and giggle with him shaking her head in shame. “You ran straight into me and spilled paint all over me” She smirked up at him.
Keith’s eyes softened as everything he loved about her came bubbling to the surface.
“Allura … . I want to learn every thing about you I dont, I want you to be my whole universe forever” Allura’s eyes widened the more Keith spoke as if she knew where this was going.
Keith slowly reached back into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.
Allura’s hands flew to her mouth as her eyes began to water making them shine in the dim light. Keith slowly fell to sit on one knee and held up the box
“Will you be mine forever?” Keith whispered
Allura didnt move for a second but then she nodded tears spilling down her cheeks as she fell to her knees and hugged him. Keith hugged her back happiness hitting him.
“Yes! … Yes always and forever!” She cried holding him. Keith felt his heart soar and he laughed as he picked her up bridal style. She reached for the box in his hands and took the ring putting it on her finger
She grinned her cheeks still wet with tears before threw her arms around his neck kissing him passionately. Keith kissed back and he knew this was only the beginning for them.
~~~
Keith looked down at where Allura lay in the hospital bed. It was 2 A.M and she was fast asleep her silver hair falling around in lazy curls around her. Her chest rose up and down steady and she was dead asleep.
Her face was peaceful but sweaty and he couldnt help but smile at the result of her effort. He leaned down giving her a soft kiss on the forehead.
There was a soft mewling cry from the corner and Keith looked up from where he sat in the chair. He smiled getting up and walking over to the source of the sound.
He reached down before holding up a small pink bundle. He gently rocked her cooing and her crys began to lessen making him smile tiredly
“It’s okay baby girl your okay” He whispered. He reached down to give her a kiss warmth spreading through him. He looked back over at Allura and smiled.
His family was beautiful.
Like Rose gold.

Kallura month 9
This one is sad too. Sorry I’m a sucker for angst. Enjoy!
Kallura month #28 Fatherhood
~~~
Keith’s eyes widened and to anyone else who saw his reaction would swear they could see the life draining out of him. Keith felt himself stumble and someone steadied him. He looked up to find himself starting into grieved blue eyes.
“Keith . . ” Lance trailed off his voice wavering
“I … .I-I need to sit down” Keith stammered his mind going hazy. He didn’t know what to think.
Hunk and Lance immediately helped him to a seat and Keith sat there silently staring straight ahead in shock.
Allura … . Allura is gone
Keith felt tears sting his eyes and he messily wiped them away. He didn’t want to cry right now.
He wanted to know why
Suddenly Alisha crossed his mind. He had to check on her and tell her. She didn’t know at all.He wasn’t about to put her in the dark about this at all
He stood up abruptly startling everyone. He all looked at them crest fallen and Pidge’s lip began to tremble. Lance’s normally smiling face looked crestfallen and even hunk looked ready to crack.
“I …” his voice came out croaky and he cleared his throat before continuing.
“I-I have to go tell Alisha” He mumbled
“Are you sure?” Coran asked stepping forward. The older man hadn’t said a word since it happened and by the choked sound of his voice, it was clear why
“Yes, She has to know” Keith said softly. He turned looking down before walking out of the room. He slowly walked down the hallways his heart growing heavier and heavier. She was gone and now he had to tell Alisha.
He came up to the door and he stood there for a moment hesitating. Before he could make the decision to knock the door opened to reveal her.
His breath halted in his throat. She looked so much like her mother right now it hurt. Her hair was messy and she was wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants, her pale violet hair pulled up into a ponytail.
Her golden-flecked blues narrowed in confusion at the sight of her father. Keith let out a staggering breath, and her eyes changed to a worried look.
“Dad? What’s wrong?” She asked slowly
“Y-you need to sit down for this Alisha” He sighed softly eyes filling with tears again Alisha backed up and Keith slowly sat her down on the bed.
“It’s your mom” He began softly
Immediately her eyes widened filling with tears. Keith took his hands in hers making her frown.
“Y-your mom … . Her and Lotor … she led him into an asteroid belt . . and they didn’t come out"Keith breathed his throat closing up with emotion.
Alisha’s face slowly fell into a look of heart break and Keith felt his heart crack. Alisha fell against her dad and Keith pulled her close to him, holding her as she broke down.
She began sobbing full force, and Keith closed his eyes letting a few silent tears fall. He eventually pulled his daughter into a hug and cried with her, letting everything go. He felt his thoughts wander and Keith was sure he could feel his soul crack.
Guess he was going to have to be both parents now.

Kallura month 10
Yoooo I havent even published this on Wattpad yet. You guys are the first to see this! Hope you guys enjoy it!
Kallura month # 20
~~~
Keith sighed looking up at cork board layed out in front of him. Different newspaper clippings drawings handwritten notes and photos were layed out cross a regional map.
Red string connected them all together in one way or another. Keith shook his head before sitting down in his sofa chair.
“Might as well see whats on Tv.”
He turned it on and immediately was met with a news bullitan. A video feed of a comet or asteroid something caught his attention
“Watch tonight as a rare occurrence unfolds for millions watching. One of the only largest meteors on record predicted to survive impact on earth. Scientists are calling it a huge break through in the study of space. Jonus where can we expect this to hit?” She turned and the feed switched to show an older man with brown graying hair.
“Well Ellen you’d think it would hit in the middle of some uninhabited land but this isnt the case. The meteor is determined to hit in the middle of the Arizona desert just 50 miles from a small town”
Keith tuned out everything instantly. He jumped up running to his cork board eyes scanning across the papers until he found it.
“They predicted something happening tonight” he whispered his eyes going wide.
He ripped the paper off and grabbed his jacket and his knife shoving it in the sheath on his belt.
He had to get to that meteor.
~~~
She sat up looking around the cockpit. It hit her what happened and Allura screamed hitting the dash with her fists as a sob flew from her.
“Father why?” She whispered.
Her grief was interrupted, however, when a growl came from the lion. She jumped back startled before relaxing.
“Take me back! I want to go back!” She yelled tears falling like the rain from her eyes.
The lion growled back a reply and she collapsed onto the dash crying. There was dead silence for a moment and then the lion got up.
It started to walk off and Allura almost fell on to the floor. It purred gently and Allura felt her shoulders slump
“He’s really gone isn’t he?” She whispered. There was a responding whine and Allura could feel her grief mirroring the lions.
She sighed going quiet and lay in the seat curled onto her side, fat tears still rolling down her cheeks.. There was a few moments of silence before she spoke up.
“Where are we going?” She croaked The lion growled softly and Allura nodded
“Do you know what planet we’re on?” She asked
The lion growled again and Allura felt the curiosity in her spark.
“I-I’ve never been here” she mumbled perhaps she could find a way to get away from here and try to find the other lions.
She watched as darkness over took her the Lion walking into a cave. It purred again gently the sound of it motherly and commanding and Allura nodded too tired to put up a fight.
She slowly lay down the adrenaline from the crash and her crying finally getting to her. The last thing she saw was the glowing outline of the dash and then it was dark.
~~~
Keith slowed his hover bike down seeing the crash site just ahead of him. It was empty and Keith raised an eyebrow in shock at seeing large foot prints leading away from the sight.
“I don’t think a meteor walks off” he said eyes following the foot prints. He moved his bike over the tracks the breeze from it blowing away any trace of tracks.
This was the best clue he had to finding his mother in years. He wasn’t about to let some inexperienced feds ruin his chances.
He slowly followed the tracks erasing them as he went. Before locked he to rocky ground and the tracks disappeared.
He groaned in frustration taking off his hat and running a hand through his hair
“What am I gonna do now” he muttered
He sighed starting the bike back up before he realized there was a cave there. He raised his eyebrows.
The cave looked big enough that whatever walked away from that crash could fit easily.
It was worth a shot he decided putting back on his hat and and moving his bike where it couldn’t be seen.
He stood in the enterence of the cave studying it before cautiously walking in. It was dark and Keith fished out a flashlight from his belt
He pressed forward His hand instinctively rested on his knife sheath ready to pull it out at a moments notice.
“Hello?” He called out hellos echoing around the cave bouncing from wall to wall.
He took a small step forward swinging the flashlight around to look. There was a crack and he looked down terror flashing in his eyes.
He started screaming as the ground beneath him cracked sending his falling down. He hit the hard sloped surface and started to slide down it. He lifted his hands to shield him from the spray of water as he slid down.
He suddenly felt the ground beneath him disappear. Keith felt all gravity vanish for a second before he yelled as he plummeted down once again.
He hit a small pool of water, It splashing him soaking his hair. He growled grabbing his hat and frowning.
“Darnit, This is my favorite hat” He sighed he put it back on after attempting to shake out some of the water. He looked up and immediately his eyes widened.
In front of him was a huge lion filling the huge cavern he had fallen into. A glowing sphere of blue webbed light surrounded it and Keith assumed it was a force field.
It was strange but Keith couldn’t help but feel a shiver fall down his spine. There was something off about the lion but Keith didn’t know what.
He suddenly jumped hearing voices. He cursed running up the tunnel and stopped seeing the small pond he came from.
“Darnit! I can’t get back up that way” He huffed He crossed his arms tapping his feet as he tried to think of a solution.
“Hello? Is someone here? Is that your vehicle out front?” A voice suddenly called down where he was. Keith winced shielding himself from the bright light shining in his face
“Yeah! Can you stop shining that thing in my face” He yelled up The light dissapeared and Keith scowled looking up at where he fell from.
“Sir can I ask what your doing down there?” The agent asked
“I’m an archaeologist I was here studying the drawings in this cave and the ones around it when I fell” Keith answered dryly
“Do you need any help? are you injured in any way?” The man asked frowning
“No I’m fine I’ve been studying these caves since I graduated a year ago I know every inch of these caves, But thank you though” Keith rolled his eyes
“Have you seen any strange phenomena lately?” The man continued raising an eyebrow and narrowing his eyes
Keith instantly thought of the Lion. That was his only ticket to finding out what happened to make his mother leave, he wasn’t letting it get found out.
“No other than that meteor crashing somewhere out in the desert, Pretty wild huh?” He asked faking a smile
“Certainly, Thank you for your time, We saw the vehicle and wanted to make sure you were okay” The agent replied sighing as he left.
Keith nodded still faking a smile and waved. The light dissapeared along with the agent and Keith waited until he was sure they were gone before letting out a deep breath.
He slowly walked back to where the lion was only to find the force field was gone. He raised an eyebrow curiously walking up.
“That’s weird I wonder why it-” Keith was cut off as someone suddenly pressed a staff against his throat locking him in a headlock
“What do you want?” a voice growled in ear. Keith struggled gritting his teeth and trying to pull off the staff but it didnt budge. They pulled it closer and he growled out in frustration
“My name’s Keith! I’m not trying to hurt you!” He yelled
“How am I supposed to believe that” He growled in frustration still trying to wiggle free.
“Look! Those guys up there could have found you but I let them think there was nothing here but me! I just want to find my mom!” He finally yelled before he froze eyes widening
The grip loosened and Keith was still processing what he said. He hadn’t meant to yell that out.
“Why are you searching for your mother here?” Asked the voice carefully
“Because … .” Keith looked down squeezing his eyes shut “My mom is an alien and I’m looking for her” He sighed
The staff dissapeared and he was shoved forward. He rolled his eyes rubbing his neck before turning around. He was shocked to find a young woman staring back at him.
She had long white hair that curled down in waves to her hips. Her eyes were a bright sky blue that was currently glaring at him. she had two pink crescent marks on her cheeks on the corners of her eyes and elf-like ears.
To summarize, Keith had never seen anything like her.
“What do you mean your searching for your mother?” She asked her voice ringing with authority
He rolled his eyes before holding up his dagger. Her eyes widened and she took a way step back from him.
“It’s my mom’s, She was part of a peace movement for her species and the blades were ceremonial for the group” He explained slowly
He closed his eyes and the blade glowed causing her to gasp and jump back making him smile. The blade lengthened into a sword revealing a glowing purple symbol on the side.
“My mom just took off one day and told my dad to keep me safe, She left this for me and I’ve been looking for her since I was 16” He mumbled deactivating the blade and tucking it back into it’s sheath.
“Are you sure your mom was part of a peace organization?” She asked sharply still in a defensive stance. He gave her a confused look
“Yeah, I am why?” He asked starting to become slightly suspicious
“Because that symbol is Galran” She snapped her eyes narrowing
Keith’s eyes widened. Galra. That was his other half. His mother’s race. He finally figured it out, He could find her.
“That’s her race?” He said quietly still stunned.
“They’re the ones who destroyed my entire planet yes” Allura said coldly glaring at him.
He was instantly snapped out of his happy daze. “W-what?” He whispered. He didnt want it to be true. He didnt want his mothers race to be the reason for the destruction of a planet.
“The galra are the ones, who destroyed my entire planet and my family, I’m the only survivor” Allura voice softened seeing Keith’s reaction. She hadn’t meant to upset him.
Keith felt his world fall apart. It wasn’t his mom. It was him. He was part of a race that murdered her entire family, what did that mean about him?
“I’m sorry” He croaked his throat closing up with emotion
“No! I … . .I was wrong . . I should’ve trusted your words, You said your mother was part of a Peace movement” she said sighing and looking down.
“Your right, My mom is part of a rebellion, that has to count for something” He nodded showing her he felt better but he still felt bad about it. He couldn’t shake the image of him being a monster.
She nodded looking down but looked up with a small smile and held out her hand. Keith looked up startled at her.
“Your different Keith … but maybe that’s what I need”
Keith stared at her hand for a second still thinking about what she said earlier but he shook it off. He wasn’t a monster.
He took her hand.

Kallura Month !!!
I just realized I haven’t uploaded any of my one shots for Kallura month here! So here is one! If you want to see the others they are on my wattpad which the link is right here! >> Fangirl I hope you enjoy them! I will be uploading a few other favorites of mine on here though but most will be on my wattpad!
¤NOTE¤ These one shots will all be set in Season two after they find out Keith is part Galra. All other oneshots will be the same unless specified
~~~
They had just got done being in battle with a small enemy Galra fleet. The wormhole closed behind them and they all let out a breath of relief. They were now light years away to collect themselves.
Keith looked out amazed at where they were in space. A moon was outside and it was glowing a faint luminescent blue.
The moon itself had a faint glowing ring around it of what Keith guessed to be ice. It shimmered around it making it seem to glitter to him.
Allura froze at the controls a strange look contorting her face.
Keith looked around realizing none of the other paladins but Shiro had noticed.
“Allura … Are you okay?” Keith asked slowly. Allura nodded before stepping off the control panel.
“I… think we can have a rest here, I’m going to my quarters, P-please don’t disturb me” Allura ordered halfheartedly.
Keith tried to reach for her as she walked by but she sidestepped him.
He watched her walk away feeling a little rejected. Why did she do that?
Coran looked up before his eyes widened in sorrow. He sighed making Keith turn around.
“I know what’s wrong now” he murmured looking down.
“What is it” asked Shiro
“Yeah” Lance exclaimed “why’s Allura acting so weird?”
“Because it’s the first time we’ve been so close to home, That’s one of the Alteas outer moons” Coran explained
“How did we end up this close don’t you guys normally avoid it like the plague?” Hunk asked shrugging.
“Sometimes if your mind is wandering the teleduv takes you to whatevers fogging your mind.”
That statement hit Keith hard. That meant Allura was thinking about her home. But that didnt explain why she brushed him off like that.
“I’m going to go talk to her” Keith announcened before striding out of the room. He changed in his room quickly before taking off for her room.
He knocked on her door and when she didnt answer he opened the door.
Allura wasnt in her room to his surprise. Keith then noticed her outfit piled on the floor and instantly turned red. He fumbled with the door trying to shut it before it closed.
Where could she be?
Keith sighed before taking off and searching the entire ship.
He didnt find her until an hour later in the main control room. Everyone had left including Coran so it was empty now.
He looked up almost smiling at where she sat up on one of the ledges staring out at space. She wearing her night gown.
She turned her head to him shocked when he climbed up. He gave her a smile which made her look away.
“Are you okay?” he asked softly
“How did you know I was up here?” She asked softly
“Force of habit” Keith shrugged looking out at the stars
“What do you mean?” Allura asked curiously.
“I mean … Well… I wanted to be alone most of the time after dad died so the orphanage roof was the best place.” Keith murmured.
“I didnt know your dad died when you were young” Allura said surprised.
Keith sighed nodding before looking over at her.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
Allura instantly bit her lip trying to keep tears from spilling.
“I-it just hurts” she whispered “knowing that I’m the princess of nothing but moons now”
Yeah but your my moon princess
“Yeah but your our moon princess and I wouldnt have it any other way” Keith murmered smiling.
She looked up at him gratefully “Thank you” she replied gratefully
They lapsed into silence for a few moments until Keith broke the silence.
“Why did you flinch away earlier” Keith finally asked softly.
Alluras eyes widened and she looked away again causing Keith to frown.
“You remind me of my dad” she whispered
Keith froze instantly as he was not expecting that. He felt his cheeks heat up and he growled inside his head.
“Really? H-how” he stammered wincing at the tiny voice crack.
“You act a lot like him I suppose, You were both red paladins” Allura muremured.
She leaned against him laying her head on his shoulder and he internally freaked out.
WhatdoIdoWhatdoIdo
He very slowly and caitiously wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She didnt make a move away and he smiled his heart trying to hammer out of his ribcage.
“I didnt know that” he said trying to ignore burning sensation in his cheeks
“Yes, it was what made him such a good leader” she smiled
Keith smiled and despite his mind screaming at him not to he leaned down giving her a kiss on the forehead.
“Allura anytime you want to talk or something like that you can come to me” he told her gently.
She looked up at him her azure eyes sparkling making him practically melt.
“I wouldn’t want it any other way” she replied softly
She slowly reached up giving him a kiss on the cheek. Keith turned bright red despite trying to ignore the sensation.
“W-well i-It’s getting late i should-I should get to bed” he stammered his voice slightly higher.
“Okay see you in the morning my paladin” Allura chuckled.
Keith nodded before hopping down. He looked back up at her smiling before stumbling.
He corrected himself before giving her one last smile and wave before he opened the door.
The door shut behind him and Keith let out a huge sigh. He smiled before reaching up to touch the spot on his cheek.
“Yo Mullet! Are you okay?” Lance’s voice broke him from his thoughts and he looked up turning slightly red
“Y-yeah” he stammered “why wouldnt I be?” He chuckled nervously scratching the back of his head.
“Well your all red and-” Lance froze smirking “is it Allura” he asked slowly
Keith turned bright red shaking his head.
“N-no! I uh just . . Um I … Uh gotta go!” Keith stammered before taking off down the cooridor.
Pidge walked up behind lance crossing her arms and smirking
“It’s totally Allura” she said matter-of-factly smirking.
“Yep”
~~~
yes hello i’ve been inactive for like 5000+ yrs for personal reasons but i wanted to post at least 1 picture for kallura month before it ends…this doesn’t fit any of the prompts i just really wanted to draw keith comforting allura like in season 3
like the way it’s meant to be
Read it on AO3!
Summary.: “I want to be the adoptive father to the space mice!” Allura stared uncertainly at him. “You want… to adopt the space mice?”
Day Twenty-Eight - Fatherhood
Allura gives birth. Keith is not as ready as he thought he was.
For day twenty-eight of Kallura month. It’s been a blast participating! Thank you to the organizers, you’ve done an amazing job!
“Push!” Keith shouted, a little too loud, a little too hysterical. A glare was the only response Allura could manage before waves of pain forced her to clench her eyes shut. She gripped his hand, squeezing so hard he thought she might break his fingers.
“You can do it, honey,” he continued. Twenty hours into labour and his encouragement was all he had left to give her. Lack of sleep had made him lightheaded, and anticipation was causing him to become giddy with excitement.
She let out a ragged cry. “I am pushing, and I know I can do it. Say something useful!”
“I love you,” he stated, bringing his lips to the back of her clutching hand and kissing her knuckles. “You’re amazing.” She seemed to relax for a moment, only to scream less than a heartbeat later.
“He’s coming,” the doctor said, pulling on a fresh pair of gloves. Keith refrained from commenting that the man had been repeating that exact same phrase for the past three hours. “Keep doing exactly what you’re doing.”
Allura managed the slightest nod before screaming again. Tears flowed down her gleaming, sweat-soaked face. Drenched hair stuck to her forehead, her neck. Keith smoothed the errant strands back, trailing his hand across her feverish skin in a gesture he hoped was comforting.
“This is your fault,” she sobbed, straining to give birth to their son. They’d been through this discussion so many times already - when the food cravings began, when the kicking kept her up at night, when her feet got so swollen she had to get new shoes, when the contractions started at midnight. Even when she was in labour, Keith didn’t back down.

Author’s Note: Minor note, I noticed I caused some confusion last chapter by having Sven mention their leader who he calls Chief. That was my attempt at referencing Akira aka the original ‘Keith’ from Golion. However, for those wondering how this works narratively, Akira in this universe is a direct descendant of Empress Allura and Keith. (You note I never mentioned if the two of them had any children or not.) Akira is a half altean/half human and has decided to put a stop to the Altean Empire’s tyranny. Hence, he’s now the leader of the rebellion. I hope that has cleared up the confusion.
