keith and his wolf

• if you ask keith what the wolf’s name is he always lies just to fuck with people
• pidge: he’s so cute! what’s his name?
• keith: Wolf
• pidge:
• keith:
• hunk: aw he’s so fluffy! what do you call him?
• keith: texas yorak keithington the fourth
• hunk:
• keith: nah I’m just kidding it’s actually texas yorak keithington the third
• lance figures out the wolf’s name because he walks in on keith baby-talking him
• keith, scratching the wolf’s ears and cooing: who’s a good boy?? who’s a good boy?? YOU ARE!! YOU ARE THE BEST BOY!! YOU’RE MY LITTLE BABY POM POM AND I LOVE YOU
• lance: oh,,my g od
• keith, clearing his throat: if u tell anyone about this I will make the black lion transport you to the astral realm
• the wolf is named pom pom after keith’s childhood stuffed animal, a hippo the exact shade of blue that the wolf is. as a lonely kid in foster homes and orphanages hippo pom pom was his best friend, and as a lonely teenager on the space whale wolf pom pom was his best friend
• sometimes keith talks to pom pom in japanese. krolia doesn’t know the language very well so he can’t use it with her and he was worried he’d forget it in the two years they were gone so he’d talk to pom pom in it, much to krolia’s chagrin
• krolia: burns dinner for the fifteenth time
• keith, in japanese, looking at pom pom: all those people who told me mom’s cooking is best were LIARS
• krolia, suspiciously: what did you say
• keith: nothing haha maybe instead of taking turns you should just let me cook dinner from now on
• pom pom is a smart boy and can do tricks but usually doesn’t deign to do so
• keith, throwing a stick: go fetch!
• pom pom, externally: blank stare
• pom pom, internally: binch who tf do you think I am ur servant pick up ur own damn stick god
• it takes the lions a while to warm up to pom pom
• pom pom: literally just sitting there
• red lion: Leandro Akira’s Dog Is Mocking Me Make Him Stop
• lance: what are u talking about he isn’t doing anything
• red lion: He Is A Dog His Entire Existence Is Mocking Me
• the paladins love hanging out with pom pom. coran talks to him a lot, pidge uses him as a pillow, hunk and allura spoil him, and shiro often will just sit quietly with pom pom’s head in his lap, especially if he can’t sleep. aside from keith, lance is the one who spends the most time with pom pom, who he loves very much
• lance: hugs pom pom, nuzzles his neck, laughs a lot when pom pom is around him
• keith: God I Wish That Were Me
• pom pom loves all the paladins back but he loves lance best
• keith, in japanese, looking at pom pom who has just come back from spending all day following lance around on the planet they’d stopped at for rest and food: you and me both, buddy
