Watering Plants

Hello, everyone! This is my first fanfic, so go easy on me. I don't officially ship anyone in VLD, but I know someone who ships Plance and the more I thought about it the more adorable I found it.

So, this is the Voltron college AU nobody asked for.

Except for me. I asked for this.

Enjoy!

Lance was dealing with a personal crisis. Ok, that may have been dramatic, even for him.

It all started with a knock on his door. Once. Twice. He woke up just long enough to piece together in his still-foggy mind that today was his first day of college classes.

He started to unravel himself from his blankets when the cold air hit him.

He burrowed further into his warm blanket and glared at the door.

Maybe if I'm really quiet, he'll just go away...

The pounding at the door grew louder and he could hear his roommate, Hunk, behind the door.

"Lance, please! I forgot my key again!"

.

Lance groaned. Still wrapped in his comforter, he rolled out of bed, shoved his feet into his blue lion slippers (a Christmas gift from his sister, Veronica) and walked in an uncoordinated fashion to the front of his dorm room.

"Thank God! I thought you'd still be asleep", Hunk said as he barreled past Lance and into the shared space that was to be their home for the next two semesters.

"Mhmm, that's real interesting…" Lance turned, eyeing his bed, but Hunk was too fast for him.

"Nope, can't let you do that. I told you yesterday I wouldn't let you go back to bed today"

"But!"

"Have you learned nothing from yesterday? You'll sleep through breakfast again"

Lance stared, his brain like an engine struggling to turn over.

"But...it's early" he said with a pout.

"It's not that early. It's only seven"

Lance rolled his eyes "How are you even functioning?"

"Coffee" Hunk gestured to his thermos

"Coffeeeeee" Lance repeated, as if in a trance, and lunged for the thermos only to have a massive hand press against his face holding him back.

"No. No, no. I woke up and walked to the cafeteria for this. You've gotta get your own."

"Fine." Lance said and started to get dressed.

He was out the door in under ten minutes. He told himself it was because he was a responsible adult, but if he was being honest, he did it for the coffee.

The smell of bacon and eggs wafted through the air. He smiled as he make his way over to the buffet. As he got to the end of the line, he noticed a group of girls looking at him.

"Hello, ladies" he said with a devilish smirk.

They laughed, but it wasn't in the flirty way he was hoping for. It kind of sounded like they were laughing at him...

It was at that point he looked down and saw his blue lion slippers staring up at him. He'd been in such a hurry to get out the door that he had grabbed the wrong shoes.

"Ah, man" he said rolling his eyes and ducking his head as if to hide himself. Maybe I can just take it back to my room. He was about to get a cup of coffee when he heard someone.

"Nice slippers"

He turned, expecting to see one of the girls from earlier. Instead...He doesn't see anyone.

Where did they go?

"Down here!" The voice said, clearly annoyed.

He looked down to see a grumpy brunette with large brown eyes behind even larger glasses glaring up at him. She was holding an empty cup.

"Uh...why are you so short?" Was the only thing Lance could think to say.

The tiny human froze for a moment then stomped on his blue slippers with such force that his eyes watered.

"Now get out of my way. You're blocking the coffee."

That was the first time he had ever encountered Katie Holt, and it would not be the last.

Author's Note: If you guys were wondering, I posted this story earlier but accidentally posted an unedited version. I'm still figuring out the site, as I'm still pretty new to it, so I just took it down and put up the edited one. Also, I know this chapter was pretty short. The next few chapters will be a bit longer.

Hope you all are enjoying it so far and I will post more soon :)
