altean prince lance. obviously

trans galran keith. nobody will let him do anything he wants because they still see him as a girl so he runs away

keith becomes a knight or a bodyguard or something and is appointed to watch over prince lance

naturally they hate each other at first with keith finding lance to be pompous and stuck up and lance finding keith’s brooding and silence irritating

but one night after there were an abundance of threats toward lance from a group of rebels who wanted to strike down the monarchy keith is ordered to watch over lance in his room with several other guard surrounding the outside and all around the castle, everything on high patrol

keith being quiet and still and lance has enough and yells at him but the yelling turns into crying and begging keith to talk to him but keith being ever so insecure of his voice being a pre t trans guy just held him and they became friends

i know the whole lion change would fuck up that but idek if this makes sense it just came to me when i was ab to nap so like swimmer lance is a fireee headcanon for that reason and idrk what kinda thing could’ve happened regarding the elemental power of earth for hunk but id love to hear theories and shit

also idk what element the black lion is guys it’s never explicitly gone through or stated but i’ve seen ppl say it’s like space/ the sky meaning it could be like air but if it’s space oriented that would also fit with shiro being a genuine pilot and then getting kidnapped in space
