[Hunk returns that stare for a good ten seconds of silence before he blows out another breath, letting his gaze drop and nodding.] Okay. I get that.
[So, that means he's going to have to adjust a little bit. Now that he's sure, now that the little splinter of self-doubt's been yanked out by Keith's sincerity, he can keep going on like he was. So hiding his injuries, all the jumping up before Hunk's finished, all the not letting Hunk help is Keith just doing his usual loner thing. Not because he thinks everyone else would just slow him down, but because he's still not used to running with a partner, or a team.
Maybe Keith's actually kind of bad at this. It's a little startling to think of Keith as bad at something, but then again he's real bad at words, so maybe not that startling.] Look, so you know, when I do this? [Gestures to the bandages around Keith's chest,] It's not me doing everything. I need you here, man, you know that. Without you I'm gonna be a nervous wreck, probably just lay facedown and cry. Taking care of people, carrying heavy stuff, like, that's easy for me.
All the stuff you do? Jumping into a Galra base alone, making split decisions, pushing on even when it's tough? That's the stuff I'm garbage at. I need you to do that stuff or I'll probably die out here.
