#lotor u really got him sad here and hurt LMAO | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

"maybe," lotor says with the shrill tone of dissatisfaction, his lips twisted thin, "we are more alike than i thought." his lips untwist to something more amused, soft in the strained lines of his face, "that being said, you are the better, i hate to admit." gaze resting on shiro, a thoughtful sound arises from his throat. "though, without him ... you would have turned out differently --" lotor brings his eyes back to keith; unwavering, "unrecognizable, i'd say."

SOILED PSYCHE / CELESTIAL GUARDIAN OF INFERNO ; keith’s scoffing listening to lotor mimic a grimace yet neutral ; even if defending words already tickled in his throat . last part made him freeze - fist clenching uncomfortably , unclenching uncertain only moments later . ( YOU’D BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOUR GUIDING LIGHT ; ) truth obvious , the hybrid’s indigo flickered over to the man as well gaze turning soft , grateful , fierce & kind in the mere breath of a second approaching ; passing & dying in the grand scheme of time . the royal was right keith didn’t know , doesn’t know what life he’d be leading if it wouln’t have been for one enigma & golden boy called takashi shirogane . he’s saved keith ; more times than he knew of . more times than it should’ve been necessary but life wasn’t EASY . so wasn’t keith kogane then a whirlwind , a wild fire .

the admission of lotor carried a vulnerability he vibed with fangs / teeth grating together as thoughts process ; the blade still only meeting the prince’s words with SILENCE . there was a lot to say / a lot to not say keith’s weariness showing as crystals narrow in SUSPICION / SEARCHING . ( A NOTHING LEADING A LONELY LIFE ; ) knowing about own problems from back then , socializing hard / painful & a draft the scarred raven had kept mostly to himself . now he was surrounded by family ; shiro , his mother , kosmo & the entire team . it was as if THE WOUNDS finally have stopped throbbing darker times in the orphanage still heavy on mind , haunting the warrior in the depths of night & infiltrating every dream . it was hard to not remember , to not hurt over and over again .

‘ hate to admit ? then don’t . ’ clearly still uncomfortable , nails digging into the flesh of his own uncovered palms , keith spoke roughly / voice uneven as mind FINALLY stopped spinning full of words , information impressions ; emotional turmoil only visible in rich color of his eyes their slight glowing lilac burning with intensity . unrecognizable . it hurt . ( MONSTER , MONSTER MONSTER ; ) bodyless whisper , a memory supplied as sing sang of other kids haunted him again . small , angry & fierce he’s always been different . always been too different . was that how the prince had felt ? gaze flickers away , mouth a thin / taut line .

alike . were they truly alike ? breath burning in lunges , keith made eye contact with the taller half blood & searched his gaze ; wondering . seeing similarities seeing the truth he felt an itch starting to grow . breath shaky , smile felt cold & pained as it conquered lips . ( MONSTERS DON’T FEAR , MONSTERS DON’T CARE ; ) old mantra resurfacing smile twisted into a grimace inner turmoil now visible in fragments on mimic . ‘ i would have . if it wouldn’t have been for shiro . ’ admission a breath , a whisper there was so much PAIN in his eyes ; scars in soul & on his body speaking of torment . uncertain as how to continue , maybe cover up keith sighed loudly & turned .

his smile now sad , corners of indigo locking once again with the royal’s hues the hybrid shrugged helplessly ; the fight draining from his whole figure . ‘ i wonder how it would have been if you’d have had someone like him . . i truly do . ’ indigo melting , soft color seemed tired laughter cut through the melancholy . ‘ maybe less broody ? ’
