Keith wasn’t even looking at him when he said it, hunched over with his head resting against his hands over his knees, though after a while, he started to look particularly frozen at Lance’s words – Lance’s stupid, thoughtless words - but then Keith sighed.
Annoyed, he lifted his head from off his arms, eyes still glaring frustratingly down on his knees, and he groused, in that voice – god, the one that usually meant a reckoning was coming, but if he would just look up– “Dude, the kiss is with Allura–” he drawled.
Finally, he looked up and completely froze. And Lance knew he froze, too – could feel the absolutely stupid look on his face as he tried to take it all in, memorize and absorb it all – understand all the ways Keith had grown and changed.
“Lance,” Keith whispered, gutted and raw like he couldn’t believe it. Lance huffed out his own watery laugh. “Hi,” he managed back.
