keith is the only person who can immediately get lanceās attention:
aaaaaand it pisses everyone off
so what if heās currently telling a story to hunk and pidge? keith just monotonely said his name from across the room. so he will stop his story and answer him with a āyeah?ā.
oh heās taking pictures and celebrating with civilians that were just liberated? sorry guys gotta go, keith just gave him the āletās goā nod from the other side of the crowd, and he canāt just not go.
thereās a huge diplomatic dinner and lance is entertaining a group of world leaders, and heās doing a pretty good job. buuuuut, keith just gave his sleeve a single gentle tug, so now heās gonna stop everything to lean into keithās space to hear what he needs to say.
lance is asleep in the common area and taking up an entire fucking couch, and literally everyone has tried waking him up but itās no use. but keith just popped out from the training deck to the commotion. all he had to do is walk over, nudge him once with an annoyed ālance, get up.ā before heās up and out of the way (albeit sleepily)
the team is imprisoned on sendakās ship in separate holding cells and his head hurts. god all he wants is to lay back down and to sleep through this nightmare of a situation. yet keith just called out for him, so he will sit up with aching bones, and muster all the strength he has to respond back āiām hereā
(mind you, this is never changes, one would argue this gets worse with age)
