Imagine then, Lance freaking out over the glowing marks, frantically covering them with makeup, and refusing to let anyone learn about them, especially coran and allura, hence they might think he knew all along or smth. Their first reaction might be good, but when given a moment of thought, they would feel betrayed, lied to, kept in the dark somehow no matter how much lance explains that he didnt know either.

finally, he tries opening up to keith, who unfortunately says the wrong opening words, and he stops the confession altogether.

later, he is exposed in the worst way while in the swimming pool by the others, just as the ship is attacked and he has no way to explain his side.

cue fighting, and keith gets hurt while kamikazing his way to victory. lance is once again the one closest to proximity, and runs to his aid.

Drenched in quintessence, keith is purple and furry and oh what the fuck. Still, he believes its keith, and aid he is getting.

Keith is in mental peril; he's staring at himself, ripping his fluffy ears, feeling for the sharp teeth and tears are forcing their way as he tries to hold his composure enough to not scream. Then he sees lance, and his eyes shine with terror and panic and relief and shame, and his body retreats while lance's rushes towards, and they meet.
