He's the future

The way of saying "I love him" but no homo.

In Voltron Legendary Defender, season 7 episode 4, "The Feud", the paladins of Voltron were told to choose the one person on the team that they wanted to get to leave the game and be safe. Lance McClain chose Keith Kogane. When Bob, the game show host asks why he chose Keith, Lance answers "He's our leader, plus he's half Galra, so I think he's, like, the future," while having soft eyes at Keith and blushing very slightly. This clearly meant something more because right after, Keith is acting very defensive.

Bob: Lance, who got your vote?
Lance: I voted for Keith. He's our leader, plus he half Galra, so I think he's, like, the future.
