imagine youre keith and you go to school with this kid who is literally the size of a peanut
you’re aware of him, but not really paying much mind to him. theres other stuff going on
but then one day he shows up and he looks like this now and also he’s significantly taller
your reaction would probably also be Gay Shock™
This has literally been my theory about why Keith didn’t remember Lance at first.
Lance had a growth spurt since he saw him last.
