Summary
Lance is eyeing him like he’s a puzzle, the magenta tinge on his cheek from the setting purple sun reminds Keith of something buried so deep that he’s almost startled at the memory of the smell of gunfire, the hoarseness of Lance’s voice, and the clasping of their hands together. The day Lance woke up from a near death coma to make the shot that saved them from Sendak.
“What do I smell like?” It’s a pointed question, like Lance would love it if Keith could tell him his cologne or his lotion by name, and he could, but he doesn’t. He answers more truthfully.
“Home.” A simple confession, yet all encompassing.
Lance doesn’t stop looking at him, but the corner of his mouth twitches into a smile.

Summary
Lance can’t help it.
He can’t help the heat rushing to his ears or the skip in his heart or the lump in his throat that he tries—and fails—to swallow down, his mouth suddenly as dry as the desert around them.
“Y’know, I gotta say,” he feigns weakly, “I kinda miss the skin-tight glowing catsuit.”

“It is still bothering you,” Krolia murmurs, and it is not a question.
“It’s fine.” And then, because not everything has changed and Keith has always preferred endorphins and bruises to words that can cut to the bone: “Another round?”

Summary
Usually that look of distrust, of distaste, is rooted in the Galra blood. In the near-expectation people have that one day he’s going to lose himself to it.
But he’s never had them look at him like this because of his father, before. Because he dares to call himself human, because he dared to survive.
It’s worse. Somehow, this is so much worse.

(OR: hurt people hurt people, and after the war, there is plenty of hurt to go around. Keith's burden was set in stone the moment Krolia crashed down to Earth.)

Summary
“Isn’t it strange that she called me for — for leadership advice?” he questions finally, turning to face Lance. “I mean, I stumbled through every day as leader. Shiro was more of a natural. Hell, you’re better with pep talks, Mr. The Black Lion Chose You And I Trust Its Judgement.”
The set up is there. Lance could spell it out for him now, gently explain what he’s observed over the years, what he knows to be true — Keith, even though he refuses to admit it or even let himself notice, is the cornerstone of their family, the one who grew up with so much change so constantly that he learned to find steadiness in himself.
But that’s a longer conversation. That’s a quiet conversation, for when Lance can give his husband his full attention, when they can face each other and be honest and work through the inevitable pain of Keith accepting that as truth. Not when Lance is driving, and their kids are in the back, very obviously listening in at this point.
“Oh, come on, Fearless Leader,” Lance teases. “She knew she needed a nice, cheesy metaphor to set her head on straight, isn’t it obvious?”
