What i really want but don't have the talent to do fanfiction like other people is a Voltron au thats mostly about Keith and his galra mark except in this au it's something he has all his life as a birthmark so when he's younger he gets made fun of because of it and becomes how he is in cannon from all the bulling and starts wearing makeup at a young age to keep it covered and never goes anywhere without some sort of cover up and the only person who knows about it is shiro who has been his brother as long as Keith can remember and he ends up moving in with him because of stuff that happens with the parents and it's shiro, allura and matts finaly year and keith is now a junior along with hunk and lance and pidge a sophomore and coran is alluras uncle dont know what he should do anyway keith and lance don't get along at first because of a whatever reason and end up together because honestly im klance trash but i dont want it to be the main point of the story what i want to happen is that they all become friends with keith and lance as semi rivals and there at like pidges house because she has a pool so everyone is swimming around or in swimsuits exept for Keith because he likes his new friends but because of the bullying he's terrified of showing any one but maybe lance and hunk are rough housing near keith and he gets pushed in ruining the makeup covering his birthmark and he panics and runs away but shiro won't let anyone chase after him even though lance tries too and Keith avoids everyone even shiro and then lance confronts him and ends up being the person who helps Keith out the most because he understands on a personal level how Keith might be feeling over something like this himself originally from Cuba so lance like i already said but also the rest of them help keith slowly accept himself and his birthmark he doesn't have to stop wearing makeup or anything like that maybe not till a few years go by or something like that because its a story of being able to love yourself in a way you couldn't before
What is going on with the world??
