Hello! This is your F.I. anon (the one who keeps sending fics haha), and I wanted to send in some of my headcanons, if that’s okay! I was going to send an ask, but I thought it might get too long…

1. Kolivan is the first one to notice his feelings, but he will deny them to the bitter end. At first, it’s just admiring how well Keith fights and how willing he is to put everything aside for their missions, but eventually, he starts noticing how pretty Keith is, and how he seems to care about everyone more than (Kolivan thinks that) they deserve. And he starts associating Keith with really pleasant things, like being comforted or being appreciated. Or just being able to sit in silence without having to constantly think about Blade-related stuff.

2. Kolivan absolutely thinks that Keith is adorable. All of the Blades do. He’s just so tiny and feisty. He’s like a kitten to them, but one that could easily hold his own in a fight.

3. Once they get closer, Kolivan is a huge nuzzler. He just wants Keith to smell like him, and he doesn’t want anyone else thinking that Keith is available either.

4. A lot of times, they just sit together quietly, but sometimes Kolivan tells Keith about Galra customs. Keith likes learning about the more mysterious side of his heritage, and it’s nice sometimes for Kolivan to remember a time when things seemed so simple.

5. Secretly, Kolivan is jealous of Shiro. He doesn’t do anything super brash about it, but he always makes biting comments about it when they’re done making plans with the Voltron Paladins. He tells Keith once, “Your admiration for the Black Paladin is going to cloud your judgement one day.” and Keith’s like, “Oh? But whatever we have going on is just fine?” But eventually, he realizes why Kolivan gets so pissy after those times and tries his best to make him feel better. (In very Keith-like ways haha)

6. Kolivan and Keith are 100% that power couple where if someone messes with Keith and Kolivan steps in, the other person is like, “Oh, you gotta stand up and defend your little boyfriend?” and Kolivan’s like, “Actually, I just wanted to warn you about him.” Keith don’t need no man to defend him, you know, and Kolivan definitely likes that about him. 

7. Even though Keith is, well… Keith, the human side of his lineage still makes him less volatile and more expressive than the rest of the BOM. He breaks up fights among the other Blades and always manages to get a handle on his own temper while most of them might lash out more. And he also shows that he cares for them, and mourns his fallen soldiers. He’s the Mom Friend of the group, no matter how much he hates it, and they all end up having a soft spot for him because he’s (somehow) the most affectionate one out of all of them. (The first time that he tells Kolivan that he did a good job on a mission, Kolivan is so confused and flustered that he doesn’t talk to him for the rest of the trip back to their base)
