concept: lance is the first person keith has ever really had a crush on. he’s never let many people get close to him, until shiro and the rest of the paladins came along, and he mostly felt familial bonds with them. so on the day that he starts to notice that something’s a bit different when he hangs out with lance as compared to the others, it’s when he ends up making lance laugh for the first time, and keith is literally just like, “um wtf??? why does it feel like i just trained for 3 hours straight and that i’m about to throw up the food goo i ate for breakfast but could literally take on the entire galra empire right now????”
