Hey RA! please place this under Canon Info for Sheith

--

Before Keith and Shiro became the Red and Black Paladins, they met at an undetermined point in the Galaxy Garrison. In a season 4 flashback between Matt and Pidge, Shiro, in an instructor's uniform, and Keith, in a student's uniform, are both visible in the background.



Keith and Shiro hug before Keith is sent off on a dangerous mission.

While exactly what transpired is unknown, Keith has frequently stated in the show that it deeply affected him, even saying in the premiere for Season 3, episode 1, that, "Shiro was the only one that didn't give up on me––I won't give up on him."



It has been confirmed in canon that Shiro is the most important person in Keith's life. In the Blade of Marmora, Keith's suit allowed him to

hallucinate his greatest hopes and fears. In the first hallucination, Shiro

appears as Keith's greatest hope, with the hallucination-induced Shiro

subsequently insulting him and leaving as his greatest fear.



In this same episode, Keith utters the phrase, "Shiro, you're like a brother to me." While this line is notorious for having "killed Sheith," most shippers quickly recovered from the narrative slight after realizing declaring a love interest a sibling is a common romantic trope.



Shiro and Keith have engaged in a lot of casual and comforting touches over the course of the four seasons, including, but not limited to: shoulder touches, clasped hands, and emotional hugs. This is exclusive to their dynamic, and they are not shown to exhibit this kind of bone-deep familiarity with any of the other characters on the show.

Under Trivia, please add this:

In an AfterBuzz interview, it was brought up that the fans discovered Keith and Shiro in the background flashback with Matt and Pidge. Lauren and Joaquim contraguated the fans on a well done for finding the easter egg. Lauren commented with "I put that shit in there. Oh, I just said a bad word." and  <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;">"Shiro was still his guiding light, it was good."

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;">---

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;">And that's about it. I'm sorry that for some reason people decided to screw up the pages and you're absloutely right, leave the pages locked for the time being. If anyone wants to add something they'll see the comments on the Sheith page and come to you to add in, or want to change things. <ac_metadata title="Changes for the Sheith page"> </ac_metadata>
