Baking

Cooking, for him, was only fun at the eating part. Always.
It's not that he couldn't cook. He could. He knew how to…not die of starvation.
Mainly because Yautjas could eat just about anything raw and get away with it, but that was just a detail. Tiny detail.
It didn't surprise him that you had a talent for baking.
Yautjas had sweet stuff. Granted, said things were usually alcoholic beverages but that still didn't stop him from looking at you weirdly when you first introduced him to cakes.
And then cookies.
And then pies.
And then muffins- mini cakes.
Out of all of them, he was obsessed with cookies. They didn't have anything like them back home. Who would even bake something like this? It had no real nutritional value- the sugar was good for him but there really wasn't anything else to it.
But Paya, it tasted too good.
Whenever you went to the kitchen and pulled out your ingredients, he hoped to all gods you’d make cookies.
You didn’t mind him, of course. If anything, it felt good to be praised for something you did. It was simple stuff, in your mind. Just baking and then having a nice moment to eat in peace. Nobody really thought much of it until him.
You realized it was way more than you thought when you could him carefully analyze a cookie with his mask. Scanning it.
“Honey-...what -are- you doing?”
The little jerking he made was enough to tell you how focused he was. You laughed. “You can just ask me for the recipe, you know?”
You tried buying him cookies from the store. He liked them, but they didn’t taste the same.
“It’s because they’re not homemade.” You told him. “I make mine with a heart for someone I love, so they taste better.” It did make sense. “That and I’m just that good.”
He also agreed.

katie your lawyer au tags have me on my knees I never thought guys in suits doing stuff would seem interesting but wow…wow. your mind
Thank u Anon this AU is incredibly indulgent for me.......... ok time 4 more world-building.
I think @heynhay's original idea of Keith & Lance working together at the same firm is best. For both plot reasons but also for my own morale LOL
So everyone works at a fairly large private firm that splits its practice and has some of its associates doing profit-driven law (i.e. corporate or finance) which subsidizes the public interest/service work that the other associates do.
The firm is like "Altea & Daibazaal LLP" or something. Yes I am implying that the firm was started by Alfor and Zarkon. Yes I am implying that Allura and Lotor are nepo babies.
I know I originally said that Keith and Lance were law school rivals but I've changed my mind... (RIP to the law school rivalry dynamics
Instead I'm making it so that Keith and Lance are the same age but Lance has been practicing longer because he went straight into law school after college. Whereas Keith started working after college and got like a Master's degree in Social Work or something before deciding on law school at 26. (I just think Keith is the kind of person who goes to law school later in life.)
Okay onto the specific Klance dynamics... Keith and Lance are both pushing 30 and are also literally lawyers so they are professional and serious about their work... But there is wiggle room for them to still be rivals :p
Lance and Keith are both junior associates at the firm. Lance has seniority because he's been at the firm longer but he's still a year or so away from formally becoming a senior associate.
Lance really, REALLY wants to make partner and he sees Keith as his biggest threat/rival because Keith is Shiro's little brother, and Shiro recently made partner at the firm, so Lance thinks Keith might be a nepo hire. Also some of the senior associates recently left the firm so now Lance is stuck showing Keith the ropes and he's lowkey super bitter about it.
Basically TLDR Lance starts off Not Liking Keith at all for various real or imagined reasons and begins a work rivalry with him. Keith doesn't actually GAF about making partner because he's only planning on working at the firm for a few years to help pay off his student loans, but Lance doesn't know that. However, Keith is a naturally very competitive person, and he also likes having Lance's attention, so Keith immediately goes all in on the rivalry.
Lance, internally: "This Fucking Guy."
Keith, internally: "I am so good at flirting."
The first few months are rough between them. However both are also incredibly productive in their work.
The romcom part of the AU kicks in once the two of them have to start working together on a huge high stakes civil case and they're both like wow.... *twirls hair* he's so competent.............. <3
Anyway misc. things:
TBH I have no idea what kind of law Keith and Lance might private practice... I'm also really torn on what Shiro, Allura, and Hunk would practice hdjsksdhedf
Pidge is hired on a fellowship for either environmental law or data security/privacy law.
Coran does employment law.
Keith went into law school planning on going into public interest/not-for-profit legal aid and swore he would never, ever do corporate law but then he saw his student loans and was like. Hm. Okay maybe some Biglaw is okay. And that's how he ended up at the firm.
