Rushing through the halls towards his class, lance was cursing himself for having overslept on his first day back to school. Being a junior in college you would think he would have learned his lesson by now. Glancing at his watch on his wrist he smirked seeing he should have three minutes until class started, and the door was just in sights. Skidding to a halt in front of the open door, he waltzed through looking around for an open seat. Spotting one in the back, he quickly ran up the stairs, two at a time and sat down just as the teacher walked in.
With long flowy blond hair, and piercing purple eyes, the professor stood in front of all the students with a bright smile on her face. "Welcome to Advanced Marine Bio. My name is Romelle and I will be your teacher for the year. I look forward to learning about all of you as well as working with you. I'm going to pass the syllabus out so please take your time reading it. Today is going to be rather dull unfortunately since we are just going to go over this and answer any questions you all may have!" her voice bright and chipper.
Lance was rather excited since he was able to actually work closely with the professor during the summer out on the coast of northern california tagging whales. Taking a syllabus and passing the stack to the next person he was already diving into the paper reading what would be going on in the class.
Once all the pamphlets were passed around, Romelle took center stage again and started up on a short introduction to her class and explained that each student would have to do a research paper, while volunteering outside of the school. The rest of the class went on with her brief explanations on each topic they would be learning about as well as explaining where to look for volunteer work.
After his first class was over, Lance left promptly to try to get to his next class since it was on the opposite side of campus. Stopping by the lounge, he grabbed a coffee, idly chatting with the barista for a few minutes before he left again.
Thankfully due to having been at the school for over two years now, he knew all the shortcuts and how to get to his far away classes easier. As he was about to open the door to his next class, it was opened violently and nearly smacked him in the face.
"Ack, hey! Watch where you're going, you could seriously hurt… some… one.." he petered out looking at the man who nearly hit him in the face. He was gorgeous, tall, lightly tanned skin, long platinum blond hair, fierce dark blue eyes. Lance knew that he looked ridiculous just standing there, mouth gaping as he examined the beauty before him. The man just smirked reaching out taking the cubans hand, kissing it softly.
"My apologies, I did not mean any harm by it." shit even his voice was sexy. Shaking his head, Lance blushed wildly looking up at the other.
"No no, it's totally, it's totally fine, I-I should have noticed the door opening." he stammered out quickly causing the older man to just laugh gently. Letting his hand go, tall, dark and mysterious held the door open for him.
"My name is Lotor, i do not believe i have seen you before." he asked raising a brow smirking. Lance just watched him stupidly before realizing he was holding the door for him. Thanking him he smiled doing his signature finger guns.
"The name is Lance, it's really nice to meet you Lotor, maybe we can meet again under better circumstances." he tried to play it cool, which only caused the other to smirk at him.
"Ah, yes it would be nice to see you again, Lance." with that he waved and left Lance to stand in the middle of the doorway. After a few minutes of just standing in one spot, another student brushed passed him, causing him to come back to reality. Blushing more he went to find a seat and just daydreamed the rest of class.
Once he finished his last class of the day, the brunette quickly went to the student parking lot looking for his friends bright yellow Beetle. Spotting it rather easily, he made his way over, smiling brightly seeing his friend.
"Hunk! My man, my bro, how are you doing today big guy?" Lance sauntered over, keeping his signature smile on. Looking over, Hunk smiled widely pulling Lance into a hug.
"Hey buddy, i'm doing alright. Just waiting for Pidge to show up, we have a project already, and we thankfully were paired together. So we were going to head to my place to start on it. Did you wanna join us?" he asked leaning against his small car. Lance smiled softly but shook his head.
"Sadly not today. I have work at the aquarium tonight. Gwen should have laid her first egg by now, and i requested that i get to monitor her and the egg." he beamed proudly. Hunk just gave him a knowing look and laughed nodding.
"Man, you and your penguin i swear. Fine fine, well i'm guessing by you being at the parking lot, it means you would like a ride to the zoo then huh?" the taller male asked smirking. Lance looked at him sheepishly but nodded nonetheless. He knew Hunk would almost never say no unless he had something big planned for him and Shay, and even then he occasionally would still taxi Lance around.
Hunk patted his shoulder nodding smiling brightly. "You know i would love to take you to work buddy, i'll even pick you up tonight, what time you get off?" he asked, his smile never fading from his face. Lance just shook his head chuckling.
"Seven in the morning. I mean if you're willing to come pick me up at that time with food and coffee i'll totally be down with you picking me up. But you don't have to worry about it. I have a bus pass, i just wanted to spend some time with you two before i had to work."
"Ew, gross, why do you have such a terrible work schedule?" a new voice entered the conversation. Looking down Hunk and Lance saw the third musketeer to their group.
"Hey there Pidgy, and my work hours don't suck, i only work that long on days i don't have school until the afternoon. And you're one to talk. How late do you usually stay up?" he asked putting his hands on his hips.
She rolled her eyes fixing her glasses. "That is none of your concern. I am a grown adult, i can stay awake however late i want." she quipped looking up at him. Her eyes daring him to say something stupid which would end in a result of him possibly getting his shins kicked in.
He held his hands up in surrender backing down. She huffed going to the passenger side door getting in without the other two.
"She seems cranky, wonder if her aunt is visiting." Lance whispered to Hunk before getting into the car with him so they could head to the zoo. The larger male just laughed shaking his head. He knew better than to comment about their small friends monthly issues with her in ear shot.
After the rather uneventful drive to the zoo, Lance waved to his friends before going inside to get changed. Once inside he went to the locker rooms for all the staff and clocked in before going and changing into his wetsuit and water shoes. Giving himself a once over he smiled and went to relieve the staff who worked the afternoon shift.
"Princess? You still here?" he called out walking to the penguin exhibit. There holding one of the chin straps, was a tall, tan, curvy beauty, who Lance would not deny he was smitten for. The woman turned around and smiled gently, her soft blue almost purple eyes holding the softest of gazes.
"Lonce, i'm glad you're here, Guinevere successfully laid her egg just about 40 minutes ago. The vet said that she and the egg appear to be healthy, so we are now leaving it in the incubator while she rests." the woman eggarly explained to Lance. He couldn't contain his joy as he did a little dance, excited that his baby finally had a baby of her own.
"Oh man, that's wonderful! I'm going to be a grandfather." he joked softly pretending to cry. Laughing at his antics, the other put the penguin back into the exhibit after cleaning it. "Thanks for taking care of her Allura, means the world to me." the cuban breathed gently looking to the laboratory doors, his smile never fading.
Allura just shook her head going to him carefully caressing his face. "I know how much she means to you Lonce, i'm happy and proud of you for this accomplishment." her voice was soft as she slowly pulled away going to the locker rooms. Letting out a sigh, he went to the exhibit where all the penguins were already starting to settle in for the night, save for one, who as soon as she spotted her trainer, she wobbled her little feet as fast as she could.
Lance just laughed going over scooping the little penguin up nuzzling her. "Hey there beautiful, i hear you're going to be a mamma here soon. In about a month you'll have a little version of you." he cooed scratching her chin tenderly. She just nuzzled more into him, making soft chirps and nipped at his finger happily. After awhile he set her back down to go around and clean, being followed the entire time by his little companion.
After a few hours, he went to the lab to check in on the egg and hummed happily. Going over checking the incubator he looked at the name plaque. "Oh? No one has named you yet little one? Well… i'm going to call you blue, since your eggshell is blueish." he muttered to himself, writing down the name on the little plaque.
After he finished with the penguins he went to the next exhibit that he helped maintain, the sharks. Going inside the trainer station he looked walked over to the glass that separated him from the sharks. Carefully placing his hand on the glass, one of the nurse sharks came over brushing past his hand, causing him to smile.
Going to the fridge he checked when their last meal was and figured he wouldn't have to feed them until closer to four in the morning. Going to the tank again he grabbed one of the air tanks and goggles before climbing up the ladder. It had been nearly two months since he last swam with the sharks, and he would be lying if he said he didn't miss them.
Carefully getting the goggles and air tank on, Lance went over to the ledge of the tank, admiring the crystal blue water before slowly sinking in, making sure not to make too much of a scene. Once he was in, he slowly sank to the bottom of the tank, regulating his breathing and looking around, keeping an eye on all of the sharks. Gliding slowly across the bottom of the enclosure he went over to where the nurse shark that brushed passed his hand was swimming. Reaching his hand out he slowly stroked her back, letting her circle around him. This was like home for him, being surrounded by all of these beautiful creatures, none of them judging him for his own biology, all of them just swimming idly, treating him almost as one of their own.
