[Hunk looks adorable honestly. Like for a guy who has every potential to be big and intimidating and all... Hunk is such a... well. He's too nice for his own good is what he is. A teddy bear of a person.
But.
Keith doesn't want Hunk to wake up and this to wind up awkward so even if he really is enjoying the cuddling (shut up) he's going to start the squirming away process. Because he doesn't want to make things weird for Hunk. ...or ruin any future where he might crash in his room.
Rather, at the slightest bit of squirming he grumbles tiredly, reluctantly peeking open one of his eyes and then the other... staring tiredly at Keith... What's going on here. Why are you his pillow, Keith. He's pretty sure he grabbed an actual pillow.
Hrm. Well, whatever. Yawning, Hunk loosens his arms and lifts one up absently as his eyes close again. You are free, Keith.
[Keith freezes at the grumbling. Jeez okay. That startled him. He stares right back at Hunk like he's been caught doing something bad. ...and then Hunk doesn't react and he's free and...
Yeah.
He'll just slip the rest of the way out of the bed. ...maybe he'll do something nice for Hunk to thank him for letting Keith ruin his sleep and crash with him. Maybe he'll cook him breakfast. (This is not something nice it will be a disaster, godspeed Hunk). But Keith is popping off to do exactly that.]
[He was half-asleep there, Keith--mostly asleep actually and when he wakes up later and he's alone in his bed he thinks he has a weird dream. Please don't be burning down his kitchen, though, okay Keith.
Hunk yawns as he enters the kitchen, blinking and still sleepy as he watches Keith for a moment.]
Morning, buddy.
[Oh, right. They did sleep together last night, didn't they? He's pretty sure he remembers waking up in the midst of a cuddle to let Keith free, too.] Sleep good?
[...Keith, don't get embarrassed. Now he's getting embarrassed and Hunk's cheeks darken, his eyebrows furrowing and arms folding firmly over his chest.
No. It's cool. JUST BROS BEING BROS JEEZ.]
Yeah, no problem. Anytime. Not like we have to get up early in the morning, right?
Yeah. Uhh, lemme see what we've got in the coloured food stocks.
[He smiles back at him.
And he comments, as he wanders over to one of the cupboards:] It's a little weird. I mean, there's stuff that goes on here of course but sometimes it's almost like how it was back on Earth. Before... [gestures] ...everything.
[Keith looks at him curiously, considering that for a moment.]
I guess... it feels pretty different for me. I wasn't really used to having anyone around, back on Earth. Especially after the Kerberos mission.
[And now he's got Hunk around. And other friends here who actually seem to care about him. So that's a lot more like it was on the Castle... which feels like forever ago considering how long he's been with the Blade.]
[Hunk looks back at him, his eyebrows furrowing, his lips twisting into a frown. But it quickly vanishes as he lights on something, grinning at Keith.]
Well, you won't get that anymore. You're stuck with all of us, like it or not.
[HASSLING KEITH FOREVER]
Same here. You're stuck with me and the buddies you've made here.
[Keith makes a face, but it melts into something like a smile. Hunk is... good people. It makes Keith wish he'd gotten to know him better when they were both at the Garrison. Maybe he could've actually made friends at the time.
But hey, they're friends now, right? Right.
In fact. Keith finds himself blurting out,] I'm glad we're friends.
[Hunk's eyes widen marginally, his fingers twitching, mouth dropping open. Oh. Keith actually said--
Oh.]
Aw, buddy.
[He rubs the side of his neck, slightly flushed. Really, that's super nice of Keith to say and he wasn't expecting it... at all, really.] I'm glad that we're friends too. Thanks, Keith.

[Wow okay he shouldn't be flustered or embarrassed over that question but he sure does look right back at the fruit.]
Yeah. Really good, actually. Sorry about waking you up in the middle of the night.
