Okay, since the show brings it up by reminding Lance's insecurity, here's my take on Lance & Keith dynamic.
At leat as through S1 & S2
It doesn't feel like they're simply opposites
I would say it feels like they're psychologically complementary
And I don't even mean in like they complete each other soulmate kind of way but that their fears, emotional needs, strengths and blind spots interlock perfectly like gears
Lance's defining insecurity is established since S1 very clearly. He desperately wants to feel chosen, significant, irreplaceable. He craves recognition because he fundamentally struggles to believe he deserves it.
Keith is probably the last person who would hand out praise just to make someone feel better. He's blunt, honest and he's so fed up with Lance's bs. Which means that if recognition comes from Keith it carries weight. Lance spends the early s1 comparing himself to him, envying him, seeing him as "the better one" Ironically that makes Keith's opinion one of the few opinions that could satisfy the need Lance is chasing.
Meanwhile Keith wants to belong. He wants to know where home is, who his people are, whether someone will still accept him once they know everything about him.
Lance almost effortlessly creates belonging. He grew up in a huge family so he instinctively brings people together. He fills awkward silence, notices when someone is drifting away from the group. That's simply how he moves through life.
And that's exactly what Keith needs.
The more I watch them, the more I notice this pattern repeating itself.
Lance's emotional intelligence compensates for Keith's social inexperience.
Keith's unwavering sincerity cuts through Lance's performative confidence.
Neither of them consciously sets out to heal the other.
They're becoming the kind of person the other one happens to need.
They're written like two character arcs that accidentally discovered they fit together so well. They have the capacity to heal eachother
