I’ve been entertaining the concept of Keith having absolutely Fucked standards of interaction thanks to his history of abandonment.
Like, at first he’ll come off really standoffish and distant as a person but as soon as you show him one (1) human decency he immediately becomes your ride and die. There’s no in between.
Shiro is the first to figure this out when he accidentally earns 13yo Keith’s eternal loyalty after buying him a Subway sandwich and having a genuine conversation with him.
