I never knew we needed the space wOLF ahhh
Keith + Fond Voice/Looks™
@pidger
- insp
you bet your ass keith proposed first, and lance was pissed. he had a huge romantic gesture planned out but was totally been putting it off, and then keith beat him to the punch by just saying ‘marry me’ in the middle of kissing him after a hard mission
lance was upset about that but he wasn’t that upset because y’know… he got to be keith’s fiance
hunk teared up when lance asked him to be his best man and then he swooped his best friend up into a hug and let lance knew that he wouldn’t let him down
they weren’t able to go to earth for the wedding because there just wasn’t enough time and it broke lance’s heart that his family couldn’t be there. marco, luis, veronica, his mom, and his abuelita were missing his wedding probably thinking that he was dead
it broke keith’s too
lance: what kind of food are we gonna have? because i am not eating food goop on our special day
keith: idk, something fancy would be nice. is there pizza hut in space
they decided on a small ceremony in the lion’s bay so red and blue could be there because they helped write the vows of course
coran marries them and he couldn’t stop smiling the entire time. his boys were getting married! he had no idea what human marriage really consisted of but that was besides the point. he was so proud
keith could barely get through saying his vows. he did that thing where you’re crying and laughing at the same but he kept eye contact with lance the entire time like nobody else was in the room. the air went still everytime keith would pause although you could hear the occasional sniffle from the audience
he talked about how unbelievably irritating lance was at the garrison
about how upset lance could make him in the early voltron days
about the first time he noticed how lance’s smile really did light up the entire room
about the butterflies in his stomach the first time lance had asked him to train with him
about the first time he realized that he was in love with this boy and how he hasn’t stopped loving him every day since then
the “reception” as an absolute blast. the whole crew had never gotten together to just have a fun time and not worry about the galra
lance: why are we slow dancing to nickelback
keith:
when everything was over and they were the last two left in the hangar, keith grabbed lance’s hand and took him into red’s cockpit
they sat down on the floor behind the chair with just their fingers overlapping for a few moments when lance took a deep breath and thanked keith
keith: what, why?
lance: for being my family, thank you
because I have a lot of headcanons and no time to write them! so feel free to take any of this and run with it
the first time lance lays eyes on keith he slips out “you’re beautiful” in spanish and keith has no idea what it means, so he just kind of tilts his head at him in confusion
hunk teases lance relentlessly for it for weeks which, of course, leads keith to pester lance to tell him what it meant
lance just repeats himself to confuse keith enough until he gives up. lance can’t help it that every time he interacts with keith there’s something that he notices–his eyes, his lips, his fingers. he feels kinda pathetic and a whole lot smitten
this goes on and on. lance evolves into saying other things. “i want to spend time with you” “you’re adorable when you smile” “i love the way you laugh”
until one day keith comes up to him and says in perfect spanish, “you’re beautiful” and lance.exe stops working
keith smirks and sidles up close and goes “i think the same about you” and yup lance is definitely slain
Those two love the more kinda simple dates. Like movie theatre dates, then going out for dinner, and just walking around while they hold hands.
Lance has this scarf he stole from Keith and he wears it all the time
Keith: “babe, why do you have to wear that scarf? It seriously doesn’t even go with the outfit your wearing.” Lance: “so what? Let me wear it.” As he sticks his tongue out at him
Keith also got them each kind of matching rings that they wear every single day cause 1. YOI and 2. Cause he thought it was nice
He also got them these two little matching magnets because “even if they ever broke up or if they were far apart, they’d always be able to find each other”
Keith thought it was kinda cheesy but lance is a slut for cheesy stuff
While Keith gets the deep gifts, lance gets Keith stuff like a rainbow knife or a Deadpool key chain cause Keith loves Deadpool
They also compare themselves a lot to other characters they ship
Keith is Deadpool while Lance is Spider-Man. Keith is Yuri while Lance is Victor. Etc.
Lance is a huge hugger but Keith’s kinda the jealous type
Lance: *hugging hunk* Keith: *clearly mad, next to pidge* I’m telling you! He loves everyone except for me
Oh! Keith also loves going to visit Lance’s family even though they kinda do scare him a little bit.
He just isn’t used to having that many people around him, but he loves the energy and hearing lance speak Spanish to his family even if he has no idea what they’re saying
They kind of mess around with Keith a lot and target him. Lance’s sister: “Keith! Okay so if you want to say ‘I’m hungry’ you say ‘Ay papito dámelo’” and Keith of course tries saying it
Lance and everyone laugh at him while Keith is confused and lance tells him it means “daddy give it to me”
Keith blushes really hard but Lance thinks it’s adorable and Keith knows he’s loved in the household. They just like to have their harmless fun
Keith also loves taking care of Lance’s nieces and nephews.
He’ll gladly shower then or feed them whenever it’s needed because there’s always so much going around when they visit Lance’s family
Honestly, it makes him think about how he’d love to have children with Lance someday
Lance has thought about it too while he saw Keith singing his niece to sleep
Note regarding my Spanish Lance fic is at the end of the post.
Enjoy some Klance content, my dudes.

Klance 15, and 8 for the ship question thingy
8. Who steals the other’s clothes more often?- Lance loves to steal Keith’s stuff -when Keith is w the Blade/off to college (depending on the universe ur in lmao) he keeps his jacket -lance sleeps w it at night oops -Keith steals lance’s sweatpants bc they’re big and comfy on him-Keith cries when lance wears his hoodies-lance instantly nuts when Keith wears his shirts (and only his oversized shirt) in the morning
15. Who sits in the other’s lap? -Keith!!! Keith is a little smaller than lance and he just,, enjoys lance putting his arms around him?? bc lance is so strong?? and so good??-lance tried to sit on Keith’s lap and Keith pushed him off bc the weight is uncomfortable -Keith’s weight grounds lance when he’s a little too all over the place -Keith isn’t even embarrassed he just randomly does it in the middle of shit like they’ll be having a debriefing and Keith will walk in the room after showering and plonk onto lance’s lapor when they’re visiting planets and they’re having a break, Keith and lance will be in their room and lance will be reading up on the culture while Keith snoozes in his lap or reads along with him -they’re rlly cute oops
-chants- part 2! part 2!!
a few of you have asked, i shall deliver (part 1) (also sorry this is more of a plot than headcanons. i got super into it)
On part 1 we ended with Lance making a revelation, so we’ll be picking up there. He storms into Keith’s room as the rest of the castle sleeps. Keith wakes up as Lance shouts “KEITH HOLY FUCK”
a tired Keith scrambles out of bed
K: ARE WE UNDER ATTACK?
L: what? no! something more important than that. You… have been flirting with me… since the galaxy garrison.
Kill bill sirens go off in Keith’s head
K, internally: say something cool, like ‘well i didn’t follow you across the universe for nothing’
K (what he actually says): uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyeah
The two kind of just stand there for a second, looking at eachother, waiting for the other to make a move. Lance finally breaks the silence
L: Why?
K:………becauseireallylikeyouandyou’recuteandididn’tknowhowtosayitbecausei’manidiot
L: can you say that slower?
K: i just… i really like you! and i’ve never really liked anyone like this before and i just- forget about it.
Now the kill bill sirens are going off in Lances head
L, internally: say something sweet and meaningful back
L(what he actually says): cool beans
And the prolonged silence starts again. They both have a billion thoughts going on in their mind but they can’t seem to say any of them.
Lance’s less than perfect response is rejection in Keith’s mind.
K: seriously, you can leave. Sorry for making things weird
L: UUUuuuhhh no. i mean, i don’t not like you back if that’s what you’re thinking. I mean… i like you too.
K: … you do? then why have you not picked up on my literal 2 years of attempts to get with you?
L: maybe because the first thing you ever said to me was ‘go die in a fucking ditch’ That… might have something to do with it.
The two have moved from a tense silence to a more light silence. They both have butterflies in their stomach and they’re 2 fools falling hard for each other
L: i… don’t know what to say
K (for once he actually meant to say something cool, and said it!): Then don’t say anything at all
Keith steps forward and takes lance’s face lightly in his hand. Keith paused for a second, sort of waiting for approval. He got it when Lance leaned in first, and then they were kissing.
‘Dancing Queen’ played in Lances mind as they Kissed
Keith’s mind…….. oh jeez. this poor boy fell so hard. A kiss he’d been imagining for years was now a reality and all his senses were just exploding. In a good way.

Headcanons about keith hitting on lance since the garrison and lance not realizing it??
‘headcanon’ isn’t this canon tho???? (part 2 is here)
Okay, so poor Keith isn’t… the most in touch with his feelings. He saw a cute and funny boy (((lance))) and didn’t know how to deal with it so their first interaction went a liiitle something like this:
L: Hey, i’m Lanc-
K: go fucking die in a ditch
Not the best start. Keith tried to make it up after that but he still came off aggro:
L: did you get #7 on the homework?
K, internally: say ‘no but can i get your number?”
K (what he really said): No. get your number, idiot.
L, shaking his head: literally what have i ever done to you?
It’s not only Keith’s fault, though. As we know, Lance is a bit jealous of Keith and he has all this stress and weight on him to be the best. Because both this and their first interactions, Lance is hating Keith, who’s actually gotten less aggro:
K: Nice weather out there.
L: Yeah but your ugly personality is ruining it for me
K:……………i’m gonna go over there now.
– Even when Keith gets better at flirting, it still happens –
K: so, i like your shirt. It brings out your eyes.
L: Was that an insult, mullet?
K: …no
L: So you think i’m an idiot?
K: I… just complimented your shirt.
L, walking away: sure you did.
K, very confused: what?
Fast forward to the pilot episode and Keith and Lances first reaction in it:
Keith just broke into a military base and is saving his presumably dead brother figure, just ur average day you know?
Lance is there now, and Keith basically reverts to his old aggro ways
K, internally: Tell him you know and admire him
K (what he actually says): Do i know you?
K, internally: F U C K

There are so many opportunities for Klance after they finally return to Earth so just buckle your imaginary seatbelt and prepare yourself for the bumpy ride that is this text post.
once they return, the team parts ways to reunite with their families (keith gets an apartment with shiro because brotp and he finally builds that motorcycle)
this lasts for about a month until pidge resorts to forming a group chat and they send a picture of hunk crying face-down on their sofa, and they caption it “this is the third time this week, we need to meet up and help this poor boy”
basically hunk goes through issues because he misses everyone and takes it the hardest out of everyone I think
long story short pidge and shiro arrange a meet-up day where the gang reunites
lance and keith get so excited to see each other at first that they start to run to each other and then they stop right before they hug each other because they realize oh shit I’m supposed to be annoyed with him still for some reason??
lance cracks a flirty joke and keith scowls because wow so stereotypical
this lasts about an hour until shiro has had enough and he uses his Dad Voice TM to inform the two boys that they are both idiots who deserve each other
they have fun after that, and once the day is over lance wraps his arm around keith and whispers “maybe you’re not so bad after all, Red” in his ear before smirking casually and walking away
this leaves keith with unusually flaming hot cheeks and a lot of suggestive looks from shiro, pidge, and hunk who wiggles his eyebrows up and down
the next day, keith texts lance and asks if he wants to maybe hang out again
and so they have their first coffee shop date which was completely boring and very awkward
it was filled with a lot of pauses in conversation and coughs to fill the quiet
before they parted lance shoots him a look and says “that was the worst date ever, I know we could do better”
keith smiles for the first time all day and replies with, “and here I was beginning to think you were just horribly dull after all”
they go on many more dates after that, and avoid coffee shops with a passion because no thank you that was boring
most of their dates consist of rock-climbing and going for hikes, but sometimes they just sit and watch movies together and lance cuddles up to keith who is extremely startled but notices it actually feels nice which is even more disturbing than the urge to trace the slight freckles on lance’s nose he hadn’t ever noticed before
just so many possibilities for klance once they come back home and this is just one of them that i thought of
-lance promposes to keith by asking an elaborate scavenger hunt involving all of their friends and secret letters with clues
at first keith is kind of complacent but then he gets into it
keith: HI YES, “THE GREEN ONE”? ITS YOU PIDGE. IT IS YOU. I KNEW IT.
pidge: yeah alright just take the card
“here ye, here ye/love of mine/ take this card/ and think malign/ his hair his white /just like his culture/ go get this card/ from this coy vulture”
keith: ITSDFJFCUKING LOTOR SDJFDF BYE
-lance pulls out all the stops even though keith explicitly says not to
lance: you don’t even want a corsage?
keith: no lance, you don’t have to do that
lance: [gets him a huge bouquet of lilies]
keith:
lance: what?
lance: YOU SAID NO CORSAGE
-lance picks keith up in a limo (keith is mad) but his annoyance turns into a blush when lance starts screaming when he sees him walk out of his house
lance: HOT DAMN HOT DAMN WOOOOOOOOO WOOOO THAT IS MY BOY, THAT IS MY MANS!
keith: lance, stop
lance: YOU DIDNT HAVE TO LOOK SO CUTE THOUGH?
-lance wears a red shirt and keith wears a blue one under fitting black sport coats, both of them have purple flowers pinned to their pockets
-shiro starts crying when he’s taking their picture
keith: shiro
shiro: iM SORRY
keith: just take the photo
shiro: IDONT KNOW HOW
-they show up ten minutes late because shiro literally can’t work an iphone
-coran is a chaperone
coran: lance! are you wearing gold eyeliner?
lance: congratulations coran you noticed before my boyfriend
keith: i didn’t even know eyeliner came in gold
-they literally cant take serious prom photos because they start snickering every time which turns into a fit of laughter because they’re 5 years old
the photographer, kolivan, is not impressed
keith: this one looks okay….
lance: your head is buried in my shoulder
keith:….its cute
lance: i cant see your face. that literally could be anyone
-the theme is space (because what are we, animals?), allura runs the prom-planning committee with her girlfriend nyma
nyma: can we make a banner or that says “this is a gays event only”
allura:
allura: no
nyma: you thought about it for a second there
-they decorate the entire ceiling with little glowing stars and when keith and lance go out onto the dancefloor, lance looks up and notices.
he gasps and keith looks at him, following his vision and then drawing it back down to his face so he can lose himself in the wonder of lance’s eyes and the softness of his expression
lance, looking down: what?
keith: nothing
lance: okay
keith: you’re just so beautiful
lance: [grabs his face and kisses him hard]
-they are crowned prom kings even though they didn’t sign up
allura: i might have nominated you
lance: well that’s just unfair because no one else could ever win against us
and they couldn’t
(acxa and ezor pretend not to be mad)
-lotor offers them his flask and keith hits it out of his hand
keith: nice try satan, i want to remember this night forfuckingever
-they play “the time of my life” and lance gets up on the stage and does an entire lip-syncing performance
keith: thats my boyfriend
hunk: are you surprised
(acxa: are you sure he’s not drunk?)
-when it ends, they’re too tired to go to an after party but not tired enough to go home, so allura, nyma, shay, and hunk all pile into keith and lance’s limo and they tell their driver, slav, to pick up pidge and shiro
nyma: get in losers we’re getting ice cream
-they go to dairy queen and strut in like fucking models, ordering one of those huge ice cream pizzas
pidge: i feel underdressed
shiro: im just happy you kids invited me out with you!
keith: you’re 26 stop talking like you’re 90
-they drop everyone off and when it’s just keith and lance, keith falls asleep on lance’s shoulder in the limo
lance takes off his crown and kisses his hair, whispering “i love you”
keith wraps his arms around lance’s waist and kisses his chest, snuggling into it
keith and lance teaming up to figure out what’s going on with kuron shiro and at the same time keep an eye on lotor who starts behaving progressively sketchier when his guard is down
keith’s not back with the team yet but he and lance (unbeknownst to the others) video chat every day, keeping each other up to date with the situation; lance sharing his doubts and observations on the castle and keith briefing lance on the info he’s managed to gather during his missions
lance: this is such a huge mess
keith: yeah, it is
lance: i wish i’d noticed something sooner -
keith, with the trademark soft look he reserves specifically for lance: hey. you can’t blame yourself for this, okay? you’re already doing more than enough. we’ll fix this. the two of us…we’ll figure something out. you’ll see
lance with a watery smile: thanks keith
keith also smiling: anytime sharpshooter
lance smiling fondly before he gasps remembering his new weapon: oh, so you haven’t heard?? ;)
when they finally meet in secret to find haggar’s whereabouts (like at this point they already have their doubts that she stands behind whatever’s wrong with shiro) their reunion is teary and tender and they don’t want to break away from their hug for a long while
they share red.
since they keep their plans and meetings a secret from everyone so as not to raise suspicions they don’t exactly have a lot of leisure time, but keith’s been excited to see lance’s sword since he mentioned it and he insists they practice together a little.
lance, to keith’s surprise, is sort of shy and reserved at first but it’s obvious he’s been practicing and for a beginner his skills are really impressive
they get together amidst missions and late night calls and everything comes to a head with a close call involving shiro’s clone and lotor’s inevitable betrayal
hunk, once the battle is over: there’s just one thing i don’t get though. how did keith just know that we’d need backup and -
keith running into lance’s arms the second his lion’s mouth opens: lance! are you alright?
lance hugging him back equally tightly and only pulling back to press a lingering kiss to keith’s forehead: yeah.. i am now.
hunk: ah. nevermind.
Soft Klance headcanons- for Liz :)
- Keith won’t admit that he likes it when Lance cards his fingers through his hair, but his hums of content whenever Lance does it tell it for him
- Lance likes being the little spoon, but so does Keith, so they compromise but cuddling chest to chest, Keiths head tucked under Lances chin, legs tangled
- Keith sleeps like the dead, and Lance has to poke him each morning because he can’t tell if the boy is still breathing
- Keith likes the warmth of Lances hands on his body, so he doesn’t complain when he wakes up to soft stroking on his pale skin
- On missions, Lance uses cheesy one-liners like “if i don’t make it out of here, i love you” and Keith acts annoyed but they actually make his heart flutter
- Once, Keith took a hard hit, and Lance carried him to the cyropod, joking that the “tables have turned” to keiths unconscious body
- Keith wasn’t unconscious and he won’t let Lance live it down
- Keith traces constellations into Lances tan chest in their shared bed when a mission goes wrong or is rough. They both find comfort in the silence and rhythm of the pad of Keiths finger on Lances skin
- After Keith gets his scar, Lances kisses it every morning, after every training session, after everytime they have sex, and every night before they sleep. Its his reminder to Keith that scar is not a flaw, but a part of him that makes him beautiful
- When Lance is sitting on the couch, even if he’s in conversation, Keith will come and just plop himself in Lances space, head on his lap, and Lance will start running his fingers through Keiths hair without missing a beat, not breaking conversation
- Whenever a pretty alien approaches Lance, Keith flares up with jealousy and makes it clear that Lances is his.
- usually with an unnecessary amount of neck hickies
- Lance likes it
- Lance gets jealous too, but he projects it into whoever is attempting to hit on Keith. He usually glares daggers and wraps a protective arm around Keiths waist, pulling him close to his side
- Keith doesn’t complain, he gets to smell Lances sweet coconut body wash
- Keith likes to kiss barely there freckles across Lances cheeks, making the other boy very giggly and very flustered
- Keith finds it endearing
- Lance is just embarrassed
- Lances gets his revenge whenever he touches the inside of Keith wrists, and very sensitive spot that leaves him with hitched breaths whenever Lance gently runs a finger across it
- Keith hates it (he doesn’t)
- Lance thinks it’s cute
- They pilot red together and playful bicker over who he likes more
- “Obviously he likes me, he chose me in seconds!”
- “I piloted him first! He has a biased opinion because I’ve talked about how much I liked you to him”
- Lance, eyes wide with shock “…you what?”
- “oH HEY LOOK WERE AT THE PLANET NOW”
- Keith isn’t the best at dealing with emotions, and often tackles them through training, Lance sometimes has to drag him out and force him to do something relaxing
- By some miracle, he gets Keith to do his skin care routine with him
- Keith won’t say it to Lance, but he liked it
- Lance becomes anxious whenever he forgets to tell Keith he loves him when they go into a risky battle, and peppers him with face kisses when he sees he’s okay
- One time he wasn’t and Lance was terrified, he didn’t leave Keiths healing pod until he stumbled out and into his arms, mumbling “i love you” over and over again into his hair
- Keith hugs Lance more often and for a longer period of time after that
- Whenever Hunk cooks a dessert-like food, they get into a good fight after Keith dollops whatever the food is (usually ice cream) on to Lances nose
- Lance pulls the cheesy “you have food on your lips” trope, kissing Keith even if he didn’t actually have any food there
- Keith wakes up with bedhead, and it’s the most adorable thing Lance has ever seen
- Keith hates it
- If Keith has a bad day, Lance wordlessly leads them to their shared room and on to the bed, rubbing small circles into his hips to soothe him
- It works every single time, Keith falling asleep minutes into Lances comfort mechanism
- They won’t hesitate to take a bullet for each other, which leads to a lot of arguments
- They always get resolved, ending in soft touches and tender kisses
- Lance sometimes kicks Keith off the bed in his sleep, and when Keith wakes up on the floor, he milks the guilt Lance feels
- He once got Lance to bring him breakfast in bed for an entire week
- Everytime Keith puts his hair in a ponytail Lance loses his ability to breathe
- Everytime Lance wears clothes that reveal more skin than usual Keith loses coherent thought
- They find mutual comfort in each other, falling deeper in love with the other every passing second on the castle ship
These are really fuckin cute
I haven’t contributed enough to the klance tag so here are some really, really sappy headcanons
Keith doesn’t get much sleep, but on the rare occasions when he can, he sleeps like he’s dead. Nothing can wake him up he’s just gone.
Lance sleeps all the fucking time. When everyone else is being productive, he just takes naps. Often times he’ll do it in Keith’s bed so when Keith comes back from the training deck he gets to cuddle a sleeping Lance.
Lance is ticklish EVERYWHERE and he’s pissed because Keith doesn’t seem to be at all, but then he finds out that Keith has really ticklish thighs. They have tickle fights all the time that usually end with Lance winning.
Keith likes kissing Lance’s neck.
Everyone thinks that Keith would like black coffee but he can actually only drink those sugary Starbucks mochas that you get from vending machines.
Over all he prefers tea and drinks earl grey when he needs caffeine (which is always).
Half the reason that Keith keeps his hair long is because Lance loves running his fingers through it.
Keith’s favorite kinds of jokes are the ones that make no sense and come out of nowhere and one time Lance just whispered “here comes chungo” in his ear and he lost his shit.
When they’re making out Lance will sometimes say stuff like “you’re really scrungling my bongos right now” and completely ruin the moment. Keith can’t even be mad because he’s dying of laughter.
Lance is an artist and he mostly draws people. When Keith isn’t paying attention Lance will draw him and then later Keith is like “when tf did you do that”
Keith loves Lance’s art and he gets all blushy when he sees drawings of himself.
Keith may speak very bluntly but he’s good at poetry. He writes little poems about Lance.
Lance loves Keith’s poems and saves all of them.
Lance grew up around extremely supportive and accepting people but he still internalizes a lot of stuff. Being with Keith makes it better though, especially when he holds Lance and tells him how great he is and how much he loves him.
Lance is a beauty expert and people are always gushing over his looks. But to him, Keith, who doesn’t even try to look good, is the most beautiful person in the world.
Lance hordes expensive bath products that he buys from alien markets, stuff like bath salts/bombs, fruity shampoos, etc. He and Keith will take fancy baths together and just cuddle while Lance washes his boyfriend’s hair. Keith always complains but on the inside he really likes it because it’s calming and makes him sleepy. (later Pidge is like “what smells like a lush factory exploded”)
Listen my dudes these two are in love and they have completely ruined my life
I’ve finally managed to make a vine compilation short enough that Tumblr will let me post it!
hello everyone this weeks schedule is abt to shift into maximum loving hunk overdrive, thank you
Fun fact, people often unconsciously mimic the person they're thinking about most... hmm
Keith and Lance mirror each other so often and it’s the cutest thing
drunk keith is sappy keith
I’m calling you out right now lance
wait… does coran have a mullet too…….
never have i seen a more relatable character oh my god
he doesn’t regret this purchase @keithvkogane
Work it B!
some yoga to help me through this horrible art block
These are a few months old by now, but here are my postcard and illustrations for the @klancezine2017! The comic was inspired by my bf and I meeting in person for the first time when he visited months ago; they’re meant to be double page spreads but I have no idea if I did them correctly hahaha. These were some of the first zine pieces I did so it’s kinda amusing to look back at them.
He got his sweater back plus (1) boy
W h e e z e
no,,,,i’m not strong enough,,,,
well,
- Okay so the team is investigating the ruins of some seemingly abandoned planet bc they received a distress signal or w/e
- Keith comes across this weird device that looks sort of like a compass?? but he doesn’t recognize any of the symbols on the rim and the needle’s kind of swinging around a bit even when keith stays still
- so he figures it’s broken and is considering just dropping it when *surprise!* they’re ambushed by galra soldiers
- fight instincts kick in and they make it back to their lions and escape miraculously unscathed etc etc
- Keith doesn’t even realise he had shoved the compass into his pocket until a few days later when he’s cleaning his suit
- This time the needle stays pointing in the same direction no matter which way keith moves
- he shows it to Coran the next time they’re alone, who gets really excited when he sees it
- As far as he can tell, the symbols say it’s meant to point you towards whatever you most desire
-Keith finds the vagueness of that really irritating so Coran just shrugs and says that’s probably why the invention never took off on other planets
- Keith takes to carrying it around with him in his pocket anyway, and when he’s really bored and on his own he takes it out and watches it
- Usually the needle itself stays pretty stationary, even if the direction its pointing in has changed
- Sometimes though it spins around like crazy
- Keith figures it definitely has to be broken
- Until one day when the whole team is gathered in the control room to argue what the next step in their current predicament should be
- The team are pretty split down the middle, Allura spearheading her side with Shiro leading the counter argument
- it’s been going on for over an hour at this point and everyone’s extremely frustrated, even Lance is pacing back and forth
- Keith thinks the answer is obvious, especially with Shiro on their side, so he sits back grumpily and lets him handle it
- He takes his out his compass out of habit, checking if the direction has changed since this morning
- When he realizes
- The needle is swinging back and forth
- keeping pace with Lance’s anxious pacing perfectly
