Perhaps a testimony to how much better they got on nowadays, or perhaps because Lance was truly too lazy in this moment, he barely even reacted to Keith’s words. Lazily peeking an eye open, his lips tilted into a grin.
❝I swoon when the moment calls for it, Keith,❞ he said. ❝It’s called romance.❞ For some reason, he feels the urge to add, ❝and that one lovely gentleman from Ulgfad IV.❞ Lance’s gaze traced the ceiling, the warmth against his legs attributed to the boy sitting with him. It was so unlike the two of them and yet Lance much preferred it to their arguments. He hoped that the two of them would continue this level of comfort.
❝Very,❞ he hummed, the normally vibrating edges of his body laying still, for once. His limbs felt heavy and he wasn’t sure he’d felt this comfortable in ages. He propped himself up, turning so that his side rested against the head of the couch, his legs still across Keith, in a half sitting movement. This way, he told himself, it would be easier to speak to Keith, and, of course, to watch any of the small smiles that crossed his face. Absently, his own expression settled into a gentle, almost lazy smile.
❝Somehow, I think I ought to ask a more reliable source for anything about romance❞ he snorted, shaking his head. lance striking out was a common enough occurrence for everyone on the ship to know better than to trust his incredibly limited knowledge on the subject.
( Wait…g e n t l e m a n? )
❝When was that? I don’t, uh, remember that.❞
did it sound convincingly casual? because keith truly couldn’t care less. that’s just how you make conversation! you ask the person questions about their boring lives that you don’t really care for the answers to. it’s the POLITE and PROPER thing to do.
❝I didn’t know that you uh–…I thought girls were your. Main thing.❞
were there less awkward ways he could have put that? sure !! did keith do anything with finesse? no, no he did not. having kept his own preference close to the chest out of fear of retaliation at the garrison, keith hadn’t ever considered saying anything about it to the other paladins – or, really, anyone. his stomach churned, part nerves and part hopefulness, at the thought of there being someone else.

RULES--PLEASE READ.
Introduction
♔ — The mun is called Summer. She/Her. And I’m of age—24 years old, if you’re curious.
♔ — Keith is, obviously, a VLD character. But crossovers make the world go ‘round and I’m totally always down with interacting with people that have blogs for other fandoms. Hell, sometimes even fandoms I’m not familiar with, if I’m intrigued.
♔ — MUN IS AUTISTIC. If I say something, and you don’t 10000% understand where I’m coming from or what I’m saying or whatever, ask me to elaborate. I will. I have a tough time articulating why certain things make me uncomfortable and it may take me a while to find the wording. So if you see me say something is bad or wrong and not explain why, just ask. It takes a few tries for me to get my explanation right.
♔ — My theme bg is mine and so are my icons so please don’t take them/mess with them.
♔ — Don’t be shy about asking me to plot with you or something. I swear I’m just a tremendous nerd and when people say they like my portrayal of my muses I turn all red and make weird noises I’m grateful you can’t actually see so there’s no reason to be scared, okay? Ask box is always open.
♔ — Skype is available to mutuals on request.
Roleplaying
♔ — I’m semi-selective. I’m not obligated to respond to something or follow back if I feel like it/we don’t jive.
♔ — Multiverse and multiship.
♔ — That said, ABSOLUTELY NO SHALADIN!!!! Will ever!! Be on this blog in any nonplatonic fashion!!!! If you ship this, I WILL block you. No exceptions. If you refer to people speaking out against shipping children with adults as a "ship war" or call them "antis", you will be blocked. That's it. Bottom line.
♔ — Also, I'm really not into people who are transmisogynistic about Pidge so if you subscribe to Pidge Is A Boy theories or try and write Pidge cis you might as well...not bother following me..
♔ — I tend not to write greeting posts besides in the very beginning of my blogs. I’ve found on other blogs that when I write greeters for everyone, they go without being answered and it becomes a drain of energy and it makes it hard to get to my replies. I might surprise you with one if I’m really feeling it, but generally I won’t. Shoot me a message if we’re just followed each other but haven’t spoken and you want to! c:
♔ — I love being tagged in random things okay if you just tag me in something it’s very, very likely I’ll love you forever.
♔ — Triggery content will be appropriately tagged, and any NSFW (if any?) will be tagged and under a read more. Mostly because I’m embarrassed of my smut writing and will probably want to keep it as hidden as possible like a huge nerd.

basic information
FULL NAME: Keith Kogane
NICKNAME: None
AGE: 16/17? (Some verses may be older like college verses or something so I'll say verse dependent)
BIRTH DATE: TBA, apparently
ETHNICITY: Japanese, Half Galra
GENDER: Male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: He gay dude stop it,
RELIGION: Grew up going to church with his Christian Texan father , but is non-practicing.
SPOKEN LANGUAGE: English, some Japanese, recognizes a few Galra words/symbols without remembering how or why
FEARS: Being rejected (by the other paladins and by his lion), his efforts to be a good person not being enough due to his galra blood, losing people
MENTAL DISORDERS/DISABILITIES: Autistic
WHEN WAS THIS DIAGNOSED?: It wasn't. Guidance counselors batted the idea back and forth but decided to just "wait and see what happens", hoping he'd grow out of it. He did not. Luckily for him, the lack of paper diagnosis is part of the reason he was accepted into the Garrison. If he had it--or received one while he was there--he would've been kicked out much sooner than he was.
personality
INTELLIGENCE: Intelligence is a fucked up useless concept but he's a smart boy. He was top of his class at the Garrison before he was kicked out.
LIKES: Heart-to-Heart discussions, letting off steam via training, low commitment hangouts (being near each other but doing your own thing)
DISLIKES: So many of the things that Lance chooses to be and say, he's still a little iffy on food goo, people treating him strangely/differently from other people, the fact that people think he's super angry all the time when that's just his face
DISPOSITION: He comes off angry/irritated/sad a lot of the time when really he is just contemplative and doesn't emote well, but he really is friendly and loyal. He cares for people a lot, and it doesnt take him long to get "I would die for you" attached.
biography
For as long as Keith could remember, he was damn good at fighting. His blood ran hot with it--the familiar itch to swing striking every time some kid asked him why he didn't have a Mom.
Not that it changed the fact that he didn't have one, of course.
Young men with missing pieces and learned fists often find their place in the military. But Keith had always been regarded by adults to be like a changeling; eyes too big and dark and curious, too many questions, face too serious and thoughtful to be anyone's REAL son. His probing inquiries eventually outweighed his exemplary performance and he was cast out; left searching for answers alone. At least, until the burning questions of three other teens lead them to collide at the center.
You see, young people with missing pieces and unanswered questions often find their place among each other.
It turns out that the center's name was Shiro, and with the five of them together--saving the galaxy one planet at a time, slowly growing used to each others' idiosynchrasies--Keith finally had something he needed.
But he still had questions.
Is it selfish to go looking for where you came from after already finding where you belong? Would it wound his newfound family that he needed to know more about the circumstances of his birth?
