heith for that fall ship meme
Who gets excited about Halloween in July: Hunk, totally. Keith is the one cringing at the preemptive Halloween displays in Target and going, “IT’S JULY, YOU HEATHENS” when Lance wants to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas at three AM on July 4th.
Who starts wearing sweaters and scarves on the first day of September and completely overheats: Keith, but it’s less out of excitement and more out of wanting to be prepared just in case it gets cold.
Who thrives in Fall/Who prefers Summer and warm weather: Keith lives for fall and winter; Hunk thinks his boyfriend is…… an oddball. Yeah, that’s a way to say it that won’t make Hunk feel guilty.
Who thinks the other looks so cute when they’re cold and trying to fight it with 50 sweaters: Hunk thinks Keith looks cute when he’s doing this. Keith would counter by saying that Hunk looks cute always. But this also usually doesn’t happen until winter, because despite his, “always be prepared” outlook, Keith doesn’t get terribly cold that easily.
Who offers the other their jacket: “Keith, that’s sweet but…… uh. I pretty obviously can’t fit into your jacket” / “……*tries to put it around Hunk’s shoulders anyway*” / “*sighs, picks it up off the ground, and puts it back on Keith*”
Who doesn’t want to get out of bed in the morning because it’s too cold and has to run from the warm covers to the shower: Hunk.
Who touches the other with their freezing cold feet at night: Hunk. To everyone’s surprise, Keith actually runs pretty hot as a natural base temp, despite people tending to think that he looks skinny as hell (—which he actually really isn’t, he’s just compact, but that’s beside the point).
Who makes the hot cider to snuggle under a blanket and drink: Hunk.
Who loves carving pumpkins and buys about 300: Hunk, oh my god.
Who is terrible at carving pumpkins: Well, neither of them is really terrible, but Keith is better than Hunk. He has more practice with his knife.
Who thinks pulling the pumpkin guts out with their hands is icky: Eh, neither of them squicks at it, really. Keith’s dealt with worse and Hunk has to get his hands messy to cook.
What is their favourite Fall activity: Hunk - hayrides and picking apples. Keith - L E A F P I L E S!!!!! also leaf fights. not quite as rewarding as snowball fights but finding new creative ways to get Lance and/or Shiro covered in huge quantities of leaves is super-enjoyable, y’all should try it :)
Who gets scared when they watch Horror movies: Hunk, period. So they usually just don’t watch horror movies together. Keith has to watch them with Pidge and Allura, because Hunk and Shiro scare easy, and Lance is totally that annoying, “OH DON’T GO IN THERE, OH MAN NO THE KILLER’S RIGHT THERE, SHE’S GONNA DIE” person.
Who hands out candy to trick-or-treaters: They take turns, but Keith is surprisingly gentle about it. Hunk is more enthusiastic about it, but Keith actually handles it pretty well.
Who accidentally scares the kids: Keith did this one time, when the kids thought that his Bowie knife was fake. Then there was a Talk about why showing off said Bowie knife to the neighbor kids probably wasn’t the best plan.
Who suggested the couples costume: Keith did.
What is their couples costume: Andy and April from Parks and Rec.
What is the best Halloween they ever had: The one where they said, “fuck it” and went trick-or-treating despite allegedly being too old for this because screw it, they’re gonna have a good time, give them candy
What is the worst Halloween they ever had: The one where they went to a party and the allegedly non-alcoholic punch got spiked with liquor anyway, and the two of them and Allura knew better than to trust it when Lotor says, “non-alcoholic”…… but Lance, Shiro, Pidge, Shay, and Matt all got completely shit-faced
—so while Allura mostly just took Shay home, Keith and Hunk got to spend the night trying to talk the Holt siblings out of trying drunk science, and holding Lance and Shiro while they cried about everything from, “what if all the nihilistic things I catch myself feeling are right after all and everything means nothing and is completely pointless, we all try so hard and it might mean absolutely nothing, what if none of us ever gets better or makes a difference” (Shiro) and, “what if I’m no good at anything and you all secretly hate me and wish I’d go away, I don’t blame you, sometimes I wish I’d go away too” (Lance)
……to, “you guys, I love you so much, Hunk you’re the best friend I’ve ever had in my life and you always smell like almonds and hugs, and Keith, you don’t suck as much as I thought when I first met you, but you have serious thrill issues, but fuck you for making me care about you, I love you, you jerk” (Lance) to, “oh my god, why aren’t baby cats called, ‘cattens,’ it makes no sense, English is the most asinine language ever, who hurt the English language why is it like this, also the widespread death of bee populations, we’re all going to die” (Shiro)
Who eats too much candy and ends up sick the next day: lmao Keith. Hunk knows his own limits, but Keith thinks of limits as more like vague guidelines, really.
