One of the reasons I love klance so much and why I think they were meant to get together from the beginning is because they have complementary arcs that could really work well together if the writers don’t, like massively mess it up.
Keith’s Arc
If we look at Keith, he’s described as a “loner” (s3e2) and in his vlog, he admits that he’s “naturally untrusting because my mom left me so instead of accepting people into my life I push them away before they reject me. I guess I have some walls up.” In s1e4 he gets angry at Pidge for prioritizing her brother and father over the universe and in s1e11 he even suggests that it might be a bad idea to save Allura because it could compromise Voltron. Once again, Keith values the macro over the micro. The macro is important, of course, but Keith is specifically unbalanced in his priorities over each. He throws himself into missions and training, without really cultivating his interpersonal relationships.
In s4e1 we see Keith pulling away from the team, gravitating towards the Blade of Marmora who emphasize a similar value to his own “the mission is more important than the individual” which is then paralleled to Voltron, who would save a team member even if it is not in the mission’s best interest. On Team Voltron, every team member is important and valued.
Taking this into account, it’s clear to see that Keith’s arc is about him allowing himself to be vulnerable enough to be loved and to love others. It’s about taking that risk to let others into his life, even though he might lose them, which, Keith frequently has (see: his mom, his dad, and Shiro). He has walls up to protect himself from caring, so his arc will involve breaking down those walls and letting others be close to him.
