Lance: Keith, I’m so happy I could kiss you!
Keith: (nervous gay laughter) Um………………. neat!
(later)
Keith: (lying face down on his bed) I can’t believe I said ‘neat’, Shiro. ‘Neat.’ Nobody says ‘neat’ anymore! It’s the goddamn 21st century!! It’s not neat to say neat, but I said it anyway because I’m! A huge loser!
Shiro: (idly turns magazine page) Hey, don’t beat yourself up. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what happened when Allura confessed to me?
Keith: Didn’t you like, thank her?
Shiro: (closes magazine to stare at the ceiling) I thanked her.
