Summary
“A few months back, you got really weird around me … You never told me why.”
“Lance, it was —”
“Don’t say it was nothing, or it has nothing to do with me,” Lance interrupted, frowning. “Because I’m pretty sure both of those are lies.”
“You … you didn’t do anything. Not really. It was all me.” Keith barked out a humourless laugh. “I was … going through something. But I got it under control now. So you don’t have to worry.”
“That’s not —” Lance began hotly.
“You don’t have to worry because I’ve figured out that I’m sort of in love with you, and there’s nothing either of us can do about it. So let’s just move on, okay?”
— Objects in Motion, Chapter 5
It’s precisely 85 days into their Voltron adventures that Keith starts avoiding Lance, but it was on day 82 that Keith looked over at Lance and realized, “I want him. Crap.”

Summary
"I know we’re dancing-type boyfriends … Oh. Oh." Lance's expression went from smug to what could only be described as devilishly gleeful. “Holy crap, you were dying during the dance lessons, and I thought you were just embarrassed, but you were hot for me, oh my —”
“I’m going to need you to shut up now.” Keith was flushing, but he seemed relatively unbothered by it. He started pulling on Lance’s hand, heading back inside. “Seriously, no —”
“You were getting all caliente, oh, man, if I had known what was —”
“There will be no dancing if you don’t shut your mouth right now —”
“Okay, all right … But seriously, on a scale of one to habanero, how hot did you find me?”
— Objects in Motion, Chapter 5
On day 235 of being part of Voltron, Keith’s decision to keep quiet about his feelings for Lance is put to the test by the rumba. In the days following that, it feels like Lance is going out of his way to make Keith’s life a misery because Lance’s hips don’t lie.

Summary
“Yeah? I’ll take repressed over dense,” Keith shot back, one eyebrow raised. “How long did it take for you to even realize you liked me?”
“Only a tiny bit longer than it took for you to confess,” Lance retorted with great annoyance. “As soon as my brain clicked onto Keith is cool and I want to kiss his face, I told you within twenty seconds, instead of brooding about it forever.”
Keith rolled his eyes. “Come talk to me when you’ve had to deal with your stupid face for months while crushing on it, and wanting to kiss it, but not being able to because it was too thick to know it wanted the same thing.”
— Objects in Motion, Chapter 6
There’s a space ball on Day 245 of Voltron, and Lance is killing it out there … But for whatever reason, he can’t leave Keith all alone to sulk his way through the night. Somehow this ends with dancing, a duel, and a confession that completely blows Lance’s mind.

Summary
“I think I made a mistake,” Keith said in a low, pained voice. “How about I go back to pining? It was bearable. Kind of.”
“As if,” Pidge scoffed. “The only thing worse than Lance being all lovey-dovey, is you being sad and self-flagellating all over the Castle.”
Keith walked along side her, still constantly shifting his gaze, tilting his head at every click and groan the ship made around them. “Yeah. Maybe not as easy as I thought.”
“And you’re stupidly happy too,” Pidge said, unable to hold back a grin as she looked up at him. “Plus, I don’t think you can go back to not being able to make-out with Lance every time you beat him in the training arena.”
— Objects in Motion, Chapter 6
In which, on Day 277 of Voltron, Pidge wants to watch a pair of badass warriors have an epic training match — and she gets that, but also a little more than she was hoping to see. She considers turning on the sprinklers to stop the madness. Again.

Summary
“Um, if everyone’s all done, I need to have a talk with Lance and Keith.”
“Is this about using the gravity well on Trell to slingshot their lions into the nearby sun?” Coran rubbed his hands together. “Near incineration merits a talking-to, and I feel like, as an honorary uncle of sorts, no, an older brother of refined —”
“We didn’t nearly incinerate,” Keith protested. “We had it totally under control and we out-maneuvered the Galra ships, which was the whole point of —”
Shiro reached beneath the table and slammed something onto the surface. “Okay, if you don’t want to witness me giving a supremely awkward talk about safe sex and consent, then kindly leave the room.”
— Objects in Motion, Chapter 6
On day 342 of Voltron, Lance and Keith face death by embarrassment. Shiro is a great leader. There are space condoms, and he will tell you all about them. Lance and Keith contemplate the possibility of cringing themselves out of existence.

Summary
In here lies all the awkwardly fluffy stuff that Keith and Lance stumble through in the early days of their relationship, as they figure out ... How does one romance? And how do two soldier buddies/super competitive dorks romance, specifically?
(The answer, they find, is that it’s mostly the same as being best friends and rivals, with the added bonus of kissing a lot.)
