honestly these idiot boys just make me feel better and even tho the original garrison trio isnt realistic, I Love It and i wanna be self indulgent.

• In a verse where the Original Garrison Trio was A Thing:tm:, you can bet your ass that both Matt and Shiro, upon really getting to know Keith, are absolutely astounded that Keith has no personal effects.
• His gloves don’t count and the ones he comes into the Garrison with are kinda gross and tattered anyway.
• However they meet, either in the mess hall where the duo take pity on new boy Keith or in the gym where Shiro sees an aggressive and young cadet two punches away from punching the bag right out of its ceiling bolts, it’s definitely not the easiest thing to talk to him.
• At least, for the first week. Keith is constantly suspicious of their intentions, but he doesn’t mind the company. There really could be worse people to be friendly with.
• But not friends. Why would they be friends? …Are they actually friends?
• Matt and Shiro seem to think all three of them are friends together. A unit. A lot of other people do too after a month.
• It’s about two weeks into their tentative friendship that they stop by Keith’s room on the way to a study session. The sun’s shining (not that they can see it), the birds are chirping (not that they can hear any), and they are 100% ready to have a collective break down in a quiet corner of whatever common space they can take over.
• Shiro and Matt just chat it up while Keith leads the way, trying to get the shorter cadet in on the subject but he hasn’t quite hit the same subjects they have.
• Keith is there for moral support and to be tutored a little bit.
• When they reach the room, the door slides open, the duo are still chattering but suddenly – they stop.
• Shiro is normally a soft spoken guy, so it’s more alarming when Matt just stops in his tracks.
• “So, uh… which side is yours…?” Matt doesn’t even really need to ask since Keith has already made his way over to the side of the room with bare walls and the standard regulation bedding and lamp. His roommate has made more effort to make it homey - personal pictures and posters taped on the wall and some of his effects scattered on the bed.
• Does Keith even actually live here?
  
• Of course, Keith thinks nothing of it and meets them back at the door with his books and a look that says “We’re wasting time you idiots, let’s go.”
• He doesn’t know what he’s just caused.
• In fact, Keith doesn’t get what transpired between Shiro and Matt until about a week later when Matt shows up with an instant camera. Where did he get it? No one knows. Maybe best not to ask.
• There’s lots of pictures taken throughout one particular day, and the older two sift through the pictures looking for the best ones. Keith is about to excuse himself when he’s handed a neat stack along with a roll of tape.
• Matt puts on his best practiced “serious look” as he hands over the pictures and washi tape (that he likely stole from Katie a while back because it has a robot print all over it) and instructs him, “Tape these to your wall. Don’t let your roommate outdo you. You must have the better living quarters.”
• Matt’s usual bullshit.
• It’s actually Shiro that puts up the pictures, with Keith awkwardly helping. It took a week, since Keith didn’t put them up on his own and Shiro, having seen the lack of work when going to pick him up, had to get him started himself.
• It’s a little hilarious and really adorable, how embarrassed Keith gets when the pictures go up and he counts at least five where they’re smushed into a single frame looking breathless with laughter.
• It doesn’t stop there because once Matt gets into something, he goes big because he doesn’t want to go home.
• Things Matt has left in Keith’s room:
• Posters of hover bikes
• Posters of pin up girls
• Posters of pin up boys
• Holographic stickers
• A suspiciously labeled envelope of something that Keith just leaves in his dresser drawer
• Strawberry flavored sweets
• More questionable paraphernalia
• A… black cat plush? Why are its eyes vaguely purple? That’s not a natural color???
• Things Shiro has left in Keith’s room:
• More sweets
• Two different photo books regarding travel on tropical islands and beautiful forests
• Another poster of a hover bike
• A pair of brand new compression gloves that Keith doesn’t wear for the first week because he loves them but what the fuck, Shiro?
• Some other pictures that Keith doesn’t remember ever taking
• The camera they had used that first night
• Keith never got into the competition aspect of it, but putting things up on the wall makes him feel… better. His roommate laughs, “It’s about time!” and Keith considers for a second that, yeah, it probably was about time.
