About how they made their Lions feel like home (Keith ver.)

❤️He didn’t even notice when Red became his second bedroom. Everything inside is perfectly organized—stored in compartments, neatly arranged, and subtly hidden. To anyone else, Red might look completely empty. But Keith knows where everything is.

❤️In the deepest part of the cockpit, he found a herbarium that once belonged to Alfor. Once he realized what it was, he spent way too long debating whether to tell the others. (He finally did when they were on their way back to Earth. Later, they discovered they could revive those plants on Earth.)

❤️Keith also keeps a drawer filled with small colorful stones collected from different planets. He says it’s just a hobby. That most of them remind him of people on the team? Total coincidence.

❤️Red doesn’t buy it. Once, during a particularly difficult mission, she lit up the drawer with soft internal lighting. Just seeing the stones calmed Keith down. Now she does it every time.

About how they made their Lions feel like home (Lance ver.)(Post Lion-swap mention)

💙He makes full use of Blue’s space—but only with her full support, of course. The moment he figured out how to print his own photos, he started pinning them up along one of the walls. Each time, he’d explain to Blue where and how the picture had been taken. Soon, thank-you cards from liberated allies began to join them, surrounding the photos like a constellation. It always helped him feel just a little more grounded.

💙There are trinkets scattered throughout the cockpit—collected from every corner of the universe. Each drawer holds at least one item. One of them even became a storage box for tools and materials “not compatible with human skin.” He couldn’t throw them out—most of them were gifts.

💙Like Hunk, he keeps some snacks tucked away. But mostly, he fills the storage compartments with bottled water. He says it's more practical. Blue agrees.

❤️When Lance finally had a quiet moment to explore Red’s cockpit, he didn’t change anything. Keith’s things stayed exactly where they were.

❤️After a particularly hard mission, Red quietly opened the drawer with the stone collection. Lance didn’t realize when he started adding new ones. But now, his contributions sit beside Keith’s—no labels, no distinctions.

❤️Unlike Blue—where he had to take down his entire photo wall and memory shrine—he only pinned up five pictures inside Red. Each one shows the whole team together. The rest of the photos and cards, he placed in a small drawer right next to the stones. He never asked if Red was okay with that. She never objected.

About how they made their Lions feel like home (Shiro ver.)

💜At first, he did everything he could to keep Black’s cockpit untouched. He respected it too much—treated it like a legacy, not a room.

💜But over time, little things began to appear. Gifts from others. Memories that quietly stayed. There was a card from the team, wishing him a happy Father’s Day. One of Keith’s stones dangled from the ceiling, hung like a charm. The medkit doubled in size. (Because of course it did.)

💜The biggest change was something he never talked about. One night, when he couldn’t sleep, he walked into the cockpit. The lights dimmed automatically, and a projection of the night sky appeared above him. It was soft, calm, and perfectly silent. He still doesn’t know whether it was the Lion who did it or Pidge. He never asked.

💜After the astral plane and Zarkon. His bond with Black shifted—eased into something quieter. More mutual.

💜Eventually, a hidden corner appeared inside. A soft, padded space, tucked away from sight. No screens. No noise. It became a place to breathe. To rest. To be human. He never called it anything. But Black always knew when to open it.

About how they made their Lions feel like home (Hunk ver.)

💛Thanks to him, the Yellow Lion is the cleanest of all. Competing only with the Blue.

💛Over time, his medkit grew massive—he kept adding things “just in case.” One day, Lance wasn’t feeling well, but they were too scared to tell Coran. So Hunk offered to check on him himself. Together, they went through the medkit, searching for what Lance might need. It turned out to be so overstocked, they ended up reorganizing the whole thing. By the time they were done, they had created three separate, smaller medkits—one for everyday use, one for emergencies, and one labeled “Lance probably.”

💛He dragged in way too many blankets and pillows. But Yellow continues to say that it’s even safer this way.

💛He set up a corner inside the Lion just for the team, where he collects small things from everyone: spare parts from Pidge, a stone gifted by Keith, and a stack of photos just as tall as Lance’s.

💛At some point, Yellow revealed hidden compartments where Hunk could stash tons of snacks (and he totally pretends he doesn’t know that Lance and Pidge sneak in to grab some).

About how they made their Lions feel like home (Pidge ver.)

💚After a few… incidents, she was officially banned from collecting alien tech, spare parts, and volatile fuel as “liberation gifts.” So, naturally, she just hid everything inside Green.

💚The cargo space slowly became her portable workshop. Only Hunk and Lance knew—it’s hard to sneak in heavy machinery alone.

💚One day, she accidentally blew up a prototype. The cockpit filled with smoke and scorched circuits. But instead of getting angry, Green quietly activated new ventilation systems and added extra air filters. After that, it never smelled like burnt wire again.

💚Despite her constant tinkering, Green gently set boundaries: no full system disassembly. But every upgrade she made was welcomed. Green even started showing off his new features to the other Lions—something Pidge noticed very quickly. Now she calls him her "floating lab partner." Green doesn’t object.
