Alright I need to write something 'bout Lance because I haven't yet, and that is not ok. (Though it still has Keith in it... oops.)
This is one of my favorite headcannons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When people are sad, Lance uses pet names.
Like full-on lovey nicknames.
A few weeks ago he found Hunk sitting in the corner of the kitchen with his head hidden in his knees. That absolutely COULD NOT stand.
"Aw baby, what's wrong? Do you need a hug, love?" he said, and immediately got crushed in Hunk's arms. (Cuz they're wholesome beans)
And it's not just him. He once accidentally yelled, "You good Darling?" from across the room to Shiro when he was thrown into a wall during training. Yeah, that took some explaining. (But it was kind of worth it to see the flaming blush across Shiro's cheeks.)
Anyway, the planet they are currently orbiting is a lot like Earth, and the homesickness is getting to everyone.
But Lance is still shocked when he hears soft sniffling coming from Keith's room. Keith of all people. Mr. Lone Wolf™!
He quickly puts in the door code that he knows for completely not-stalkerish reasons.
Keith looks up at him from his bed with teary eyes. He rubbed at them aggressively when he sees Lance.
"What are you doing here Lance? Does Allura need us?" His voice cracks terribly.
"Cariño! Are you okay? Never mind don't answer that, you're obviously not."
Without warning, Lance wraps his strong arms around Keith. His heart swells with adoration when Keith buries his head in Lance's shoulder. Of course, being the oblivious idiot he is, he does not notice Keith's flaming blush.
He gives in to the urge to touch Keith's hair and ends up rhythmically gliding his hand through it. They stay like that for a couple hours. (Keith may or may not have fallen asleep, and who was Lance to disturb him?)
They both silently agree to pretend the whole thing never happened.
A few months later and they are now on a diplomacy mission. The planet they are on is home to the Kragzots. They are giant neon-pink glow worms with faces. Lance has to do breathing exercises to keep his laughter from bursting out.
Their host, an alien named Vav'eol, is a... how can Lance say this nicely? He's a turd. Not literally of course, but he on everybody's nerves right now. Even Hunk has a grimace on his face whenever the pig-colored alien speaks.
Keith of course is absolutely shaking with anger.
1 hour into the stifling meeting and Vav'eol decides to comment on Shiro's arm. "Well I'm grateful and all that for you lot being here, but I'm not sure if you're trustworthy seeing as that one was reckless enough to lose an arm. How do you even manage to do that?" he scrutinizes.
Shiro opens his mouth to respond, but before he can the screeching of a chair interrupts him. They all turn to see Keith stand ramrod straight with fury etched into his face.
"Say that again you dirt-eating piggish son of a BI-"
He is interrupted (quite rudely) by warm arms wrapped around him.
"Come on babe, we're supposed to be peaceful right now. Calm down, hun."
Keith relaxes slightly, but still breathes heavily into Lance's neck.
"...Are they dating?" Vav'eol interrupts.
"I wish," both Shiro and Pidge sigh at the same time.
The hugging boys turn red as tomatoes.

Ew. Dialogue. That was painful. But the vision had to be fulfilled.
