#not......

Sitting there at the round table, watching unique species filter in through the large doorway, Keith can’t help but wish he’d fought Shiro harder on this.

Politics and diplomacy were never his forte - he always opted to sit out when letters were sent requesting the presence of a Paladin, leaving Shiro to take the seat.

But THIS time, his brother did that thing where he hinted towards it, then hinted towards it some more until Keith eventually CAVED and agreed to show up at---...what was the planet’s name again?

He doesn’t feel bad for not caring. He’s been there two days already, and from what he can gather it’s just a simple disagreement between two neighboring solar systems - it’s nothing LIFE-THREATENING. His assumption is that he and Shiro only received the missive because the ambassador hosting the diplomatic convention wanted to have a guest as grand as a Voltron Paladin.

All the attention he’s been getting further suggests that.

New faces show up every meeting, representatives from different planets that will be affected by whatever change is made. There’s a handful gathered around the large table, but Keith watches those entering the room: There’s someone from Il’kiv - a planet he and Shiro saved not long ago; there’s an Arusian - Keith actually had a short, though warm conversation with them earlier; there’s a couple from Baskan; and there’s---

holy shit.

It’s immediate, the feel of losing all his breath. The space made in his chest by breath stolen is replaced with an ache. On shaky legs Keith rises, eyes-wide, staring disbelieving at---

                                                       “---Lance,”

mainly just the character tags got updated

so instead of "my Riku" it's "ftp:Riku" and etc

and for OC's it's whatever they're from:name (so ftp:Shad, or naf:Edd or fbn:Evelyn)

I also changed the fic based novel tag to fbn

That’s the ugly truth they don’t tell you in high school
