Boyfriend Keith Headcanons
I’ve seen a lot of Klance head canons in my day (you have to imagine me saying this whilst sitting in a rocking chair on someone’s verandah) and a lot of them seem to focus a lot on Lance, which is great! And I get it! Lance is more extroverted and probably does the BIG romantic gestures, but I bet Keith is also a really rad boyfriend. So here’s some boyfriend Keith head canons.
- Relationships are very important to Keith because of how much time he has spent in isolation. He’s very sentimental and saves ticket stubs from movie dates. He hangs flowers upside down so they dry and he can keep them. There’s a box of these trinkets filled with cute notes Lance has left on his door, a cool rock Lance gave Keith because he said it was the same colour as his eyes, a band-aid (gross) that Lance put on his wrist before they started officially dating.
- He starts wearing his hair up more because he knows Lance likes it. He even buys some matching bobby pins and Lance wears his set proudly around the ship.
- Koala boyfriend.
- Knows all of Lance’s most ticklish spots.
- Does drills with Hunk in secret to learn all of Lance’s siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, parents, etc. He gets Lance to teach him how to sew (“oh, I’m just getting some holes in my gloves and think it would be nice to repair them myself”) and he cross-stitches Lance’s family tree for christmas.
- He adds an additional branch for team Volton cuz they’re family too
- Lance cries for an hour.
- When no ones around he’ll say HORRIFICALLY dirty things to Lance. Half of them don’t make sense. And it’s kind of a joke that Keith has no idea what sexual innuendoes are. Sometimes he’ll know he has the euphemism wrong, but he’ll whisper it to Lance anyway just to hear him laugh.
- REALLY likes Lance’s legs.
- And smooth tummy.
- Happily big spoons the night away.
- Protective boyfriend.
- Lance makes him a t-shirt with his own face on it as a joke…. but Keith… wears it? Like a lot?
- Some alien - “The blue one is on your shirt?”
- Keith - “… Yeah?”
- Lance is both flattered and mortified.
- Someone once made a very inappropriate pass at Lance and kept touching him and cornering him. Lance tried to quietly slip away and not cause a scene when Keith just HEADBUTTED THE GUY. Gross dude dropped to the ground and didn’t get up for a while.
- Hugs from behind a lot.
- Velcro boyfriend.
- Will grow up to be that old man, who when he opens his wallet, a cascade of plastic sleeves filled with photos falls out.
