[Keith watches Lance carefully for a moment as Shiro speaks. There's a slight twinge with the eye Shiro can't see at the word 'mistake' because he has a feeling that won't come across right. While he knows he means any sort of argument that could result from them being an us, Lance doesn't have that context.

Probably makes them even, though - considering he didn't really know what it meant to have a family after his pop...]

Not long, and we both did. [Get caught up in trying not to mess up this time, that is.] For vastly different reasons. And while we didn't hide it, we didn't really broadcast it either. I'm sorry for not telling you, too.

[He should have; and it means letting go of Shiro's hand, but he stands up anyway. Instead moving to place a hand on Lance's shoulder. Hunk once called them brothers, and while he's never said that aloud... he agrees with that.]

I'm not great at connecting with people, and we're both a bit paranoid. [Juuust a bit, says the man who trained for two years because of just one tiny little glimpse of "Shiro" going nuts.]
