If you’re going to space. You have to be prepared to fuck the aliens. Or like at least one person on your crew does I get that it’s not everyone’s thing. I’m just saying. Someone’s gotta do it.
just gotta say… if matt and keith are wearing the garrison cadet uniforms at the same time just before matt leaves for kerberos, but shiros wearing the senior uniform and the handbook says that matt graduated from the garrison ‘along with shiro’, then that strongly points to
1, along with shiro doesnt mean in the same graduating year, unless matt was a very young-looking 24-25 year old, or graduated early because of his aptitude?
2, matt and keith cant be more than a couple of years different in age if the garrison follows a university/specialized school format of 3-4 years
3, keith probably wasnt in lance’s/hunk’s/later, pidge’s ‘graduating year’ and only shared a couple of classes with them
brain just came up with the ridiculous but hilarious scenario where matt and keith reunite and matts like ‘finally-! the power couple is back together again!’ to everyones confusion, including keiths-
‘were??? dating?? since when?’
and it was at that point that matt realized…he fucked up..
he totally forgot that he hadnt actually asked keith out yet before he left earth and had been thinking he had a bf waiting for him back home the whole time – theyd been so naturally close that hed felt like they were already a Thing, which keith was utterly oblivious to, because its keith and why would i just assume that matt?? yeah i thought it was kind of weird when you dipped me and kissed my hand before you left for kerberos but i thought it was a joke!! what do you MEAN feelings that neednt have been spoken???? how else would i kNOW?
and thats how keith, being given the most clear sign of interest anyone could ever get from another person, ended up being the one to ask matt out like two years into their apparent extreme long-distance relationship
shiro never lets them live it down because what a fucking mess that was and also do you KNOW how confused i was on the way to kerberos
