Most (if not all) of the times Keith and Shiro say each others’ names
He knew that Shiro’s days were numbered and his vitality would fade before his prime was over. He knew that Shiro had suffered when that stress was too much for his partner and they turned away from him. He knew that Shiro had forsaken safety and comfort for one last blaze of glory to achieve the dream he’d worked so hard for. He knew he may never see him again, and that every time he did, the clock was still ticking.
For a fiery, upstart, showoff with discipline problems, Keith has become one of the most compassionate characters I’ve ever seen. Despite his fear of abandonment. Despite what had happened to his father, and despite knowing that their time was limited, Keith never gave up on Shiro. He never encouraged him to abandon his dream or to give up.
Every time that Shiro faltered, Keith was at his side. Did he fear that each time might be the last? Did he fear that if he only let Shiro close his eyes that his dearest friend would leave him forever?

I have a bone to pick with the Sheith fandom. Everywhere in this fandom I see Keith freaking out about Shiro, which I will admit is completely canon. But you know what else is canon?
Shiro’s bias for Keith.
I know that it’s seems subtle, but it’s not at the same time. I rewatched Voltron Season 1 and 2 before Season 3 because I noticed that I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to Shiro the first time around. A lot of his lines are pretty generic-leader-type, but during me rewatch, I noticed that his character cues weren’t. So, without further ado, here begins my long meta post about how Shiro is pining after Keith.

The next comic update is still a work in progress, so here’s little compilation of Shiro and Keith sketches, some of which I have posted to twitter 😝😝 I sketch on paper way faster than I can line on the computer;;
The complete sketchbook compilation is 50+ pages and is up on 💛Patreon💛 with an extra 10+ pages of NSFW sketches for the $5+ patrons 😘😘
Star-Crossed Lovers
“Two lovers -often teenagers- doomed to be kept apart no matter how hard they struggle to be together. It may be Fate….or something as mundane as a few hundred miles separation, but something will always be in their way.”
First they were separated by the Kerberos Mission going wrong. For a whole year it was like this. (While Keith was alone he found those lion carvings that described some kind of arrival fated to happen that night…)
(With Keith not even expecting to find Shiro at the crash site.)
Then again in Across The Universe. Shiro and Keith fell onto that planet together, and at the last second their lions seemed to fling in opposite directions. (For some reason this one stands out to me for this trope. I mean, Hunk and Lance landed together, but why do these two always seem to be pulled apart?)
Shiro and Keith landed miles from each other. Then Keith ran to him and saved Shiro just in time, reuniting them once again.
Then in Blackout. After the fight against Zarkon Shiro doesn’t respond on the coms, his lion seems like it’s out of power. Keith is the first one there, running to Shiro…
But this time Shiro wasn’t there. Somehow disappearing. (In someway that hasn’t even been fully explained yet.) But then, because of the Black Lion sensing him (and Shiro being lucky enough to steal a ship), they finally find each other again.
Most of the things that keep them separated seems like really bad luck. It’s something that’s usually out of their control that keeps them apart. It happens again and again, and seems like it could keep happening.
(Note: Romeo and Juliet is a well known story with this trope. Very often Star-Crossed Lovers ends tragically with the Together in Death trope. I feel like it doesn’t always have to end that way though. (I’m just hoping for the best here.) “Star-Crossed” meaning that the stars (destiny/fate) are against them. It certainly feels like something is always pulling these two apart.)
