i know this is basically gospel already
but keith with physical touch as a love language. not because he wasnt held as a child or anything but because his mom actually like held him a LOT and now thats just how he recognizes and reciprocates affection
he’s always shoulder to shoulder with someone or has his hand on the back of someone’s neck not in a weird way but in a like. “i am here i am watching your blind spot for you and you will be safe”
with lance especially
always a hand on his lower back or between his shoulderblades where the scars from the rover incident are
tucking a hand in the pocket of lance’s jeans when they’re standing in the kitchen together
holding onto his ankle if his feet are in keiths lap
keith just keiths like that. yk?
