A/N: A request by Icewaker22
Just a few more feet and he would be free, free from the agonizing torture that was…homework!
Lance reached out his hand for the door and just had his hand finger on the keypad when he heard someone clear their throat "Ahem!"
Lance grimaced and forced a smile as he turned around "Hello Coran~"
The red moustached man rose a brow. "Hello Lance, shouldn't you be in your room? Doing your homework?"
"Already did it!" The boy outright lied, his hoverboard strapped to his back and his arms crossed over his chest.
"Oh really?" Coran asked, stroking his moustache "Then you won't mind coming with me just to check it" He said as he took Lance by the arm and began to march him back to his room.
"Coran~!" Lance whined.
"Lance~!" Coran mimicked as he dragged the struggling by his arm back to his room with Lapis trying to halt the process by pulling at the back of Lances shirt.
"so…" Coran raised a brow. "Is THAT what you call finished?" He asked, pointing to the untouched books on the boys desk.
"From my perspective" Lance said snarkily, his gaze directed at a corner of the room.
"Lance!" Coran groaned, sounding exasperated.
"Okay! Okay! I'll do it" Lance exclaimed throwing his arms in the air and stomping over to his desk.
"That a lad!" Coran chirped, returning to his cheery self instantly. "Just remember, education is the foundation of a bright future"
"Yeah yeah yeah whatever" Lance grumbled as he took his seat.
"As for you madam…" Coran grabbed Lapis up by the scruff of her fur and lifted her into the air. "…it is time for your bath" And with that the Altean was gone.
"Sucker" Lance smirked as he went to his bed and pulled it out of the way, revealing the unscrewed vent. "Zoom boarding here I come" He grinned.
Navigating the vents of the castle had been harder than he thought especially with his board adding more cramp room, Now if I remember right the exit should be right hereaaagghhh!" Lance felt his hand meet air and a rush of air as he fell through a downward shaft! A few bumps and grunts later…SPLAT!
"Heheheh, hi mom…" Lance grinned sheepishly, now covered in the mess that had once been Allura's cake while his mother scowled at him with knowing eyes.
"Lance…" She said through clenched teeth.
"Grounded? Got it! Go to my room? Got it! Don't come out until you tell me too? Got it!" Lance forced a smile as he scrambled back to his feet and out of the kitchen.
"And clean up while you're at it!" Allura called after him.
After getting cake and icing out of his hair and changing clothes, Lance moved on to plan C and using a rope of tied together sheets he began scaling down from his window to the ground bellow.
"This must be the best Idea I've ever thought up!" Lance praised himself.
"Yes…isn't it?" Lance felt chills go up his spine and he slowly turned his head to see the glaring Shiro standing right behind him, arms crossed and foot tapping.
"Now I know this looks bad…but it's not!" Lance grinned.
"You know what?" Shiro asked before giving a bright smile "You're right!"
"I am?" Lance blinked, stilling clinging to the ropes.
"Yep, in fact I think you're in the perfect position?"
"Position?" Lance's eyes widened when he saw Shiro begin to wind up his foot! The tanned scaled back up his makeshift make faster than he had scaled down and quickly pulled in his rope.
"Works every time" Shiro smirked. "Now if only he could do his homework that fast"
A/N: Hope you all enjoy and for those of you wondering, Lance did do his homework…eventually!
