Here's another idea I had a while back

In which Hunk has secretly been in love with Lance for years

He fell in love with him shortly after he met Lance at the Garrison and they were made roommates

Hunk has been hopelessly pining for Lance for years but has never had the courage to ask him out

He was also pretty sure Lance was straight because of how interested he seemed in girls. He was always flirting with them and talking about them

He was over the moon when Lance came out to him as Pansexual

Except he was still too afraid to ask him out. He felt that Lance wouldn't fall for someone who looked like him. He also figured that Lance only thought of him as a friend

Little does he know that Lance had feelings for him as well. But he also felt that Hunk only saw him as a friend. So he flirted with other people to try and find someone else.

Eventually they get shot into space

They're still hopelessly in love with each other

Hunk one day notices that Keith is very upset and angry

He tries to cheer Keith up and asks him what's wrong

Keith comes clean that he also has a crush on Lance and he's pining hard on him

Hunk feels like he was basically shot right in the heart. He's upset that someone else has feelings for Lance. But angry at himself because he knows Lance isn't his. But worried that Lance will fall for Keith instead of him.

Lance and Keith start to get along better, Hunk is angry at himself for being jealous and wanting Lance to himself

Keith regularly vents to Hunk about his frustrations and feelings for Lance because he feels that Hunk is the only one he can talk to (besides Shiro) about his feelings without being judged

Hunk wants to be a supportive friend to everyone so he pushes his feelings aside and tries to cheer Keith up and give him ideas for getting closer to Lance. Since he knows Lance better than anyone.

Things with Lance become really awkward as both Hunk and Lance are trying to hide their feelings for each other while still hanging out.

Hunk notices that something is bothering Lance and he is very concerned

Lance eventually let's it slip that he has feelings for someone. Which he automatically assumes is Allura because of how often Lance flirts with her and talks about her

Eventually Lance let's it slip that it's not a girl Lance has feelings for. Hunk feels his heart break as he assumes that it must be Keith he has feelings for

Recently Lance and Hunk have been getting along much better and had even started to become friends

Hunk still wants to be a supportive friend so he tells Lance to confess his feelings. Lance eventually agrees that he will in the future

Hunk still listens to Keith talk about Lance while secretly being upset because he thinks Lance likes Keith back. Of course doesn't tell Keith that because he still doesn't want Lance to end up with Keith

One day Hunk finds Lance crying his poor little eyes out. He's extremely worried about Lance. He embraces him in his arms and tries to comfort him. He asks Lance what's wrong but Lance refuses to tell him.

Eventually he opens up and tells Hunk how upset he is because he really likes this person but he's scared they won't like him back.

Hunk asks him who he has feelings for but Lance still doesn't want to admit who it is. He tells Hunk he's afraid that Hunk won't like him anymore if he finds out who he has feelings for

Hunk promises that no matter what, he will always be Lance's friend, which only makes Lance cry harder. However Lance decides to Confess to Hunk and hope that he rejects him gently and remains his friend

Lance tells him that the guy he's in love with is him.

Hunk stares at him in shock and can barely process the words he's hearing

Lance takes his silence as rejection and starts crying again.

Hunk eventually snaps out of his trance and tells Lance that he has feelings for him too.

Lance looks into his eyes and goes "really?" And he sounds so broken too which crushes Hunk's heart

He tells him he's had feelings for him for years and that he's in love with him.

Lance smiles brightly with tears running down his face and tells him that he loves him too. They share a quick but passionate kiss.

Lance is shocked however that Hunk has been in love with him that long. Hunk has liked Lance a year before Lance liked him back

They then decide to get together

A couple days after that he and Keith are talking. Hunk is much happier now that he and Lance are finally in a romantic relationship and he can act on his feelings for Lance and in return Lance provides him with lots of affection

But then Keith starts talking about his feelings for Lance again and Hunk feels his heart drop. Keith still has feelings for Lance. And Hunk knew that his friend also liked Lance. But he still decided to pursue a relationship with him which makes him feel like a bad friend.

He also doesn't want to hurt Keith's feelings by telling him the truth that he and Lance are a couple now

Weeks turn into months and Keith still vents all his emotions to Hunk and tells him countless times how he's so lucky to have Hunk as a friend.

Hunks starts to feel guilty for being with Lance. But on the other hand Hunk was in love with Lance much longer than Keith. Hunk loved Lance too much to let him go. And he was well aware that Lance felt as strongly for him. And he's so madly in love with Lance that he never wants to do anything to hurt him especially break his heart

Hunk saw how broken up Lance was when he thought Hunk wouldn't like him back. He never wanted to make Lance feel that way again. He hated being the cause of Lance's pain and wished he'd gotten the courage to ask Lance out long ago so neither of them would have to feel the way they did.

He loves Lance and he's definitely not gonna be the one to leave him. But he still feels like a bad friend for dating Lance even though he knew Keith liked him as well. He feels even worse not telling Keith about their relationship.
