A/N: This chapter is a little sad, so read carefully, or something, I don't know. I have also tried something new, more spaces ig, so I hope you like it as I have now used it in the previous chapters as well!


8th of December

"What did V say?"

"That I was an idiot for thinking this was a good idea."

"She's not wrong, Lance, this was a dumb idea even for you."

"I know Rach, I know."

Lance was miserable, the prank wasn't supposed to get this much out of hand. After talking with Veronica, his oldest sister who also went to the Garrison, Lance had spent a few more hours at the holt apartment acting like nothing had happened. He and Keith had walked to the dorms together, talking about what was going on.

They had decided to keep the prank going to the agreed time, 23rd of December, since there was nothing they could do about the picture. After getting to his dorm, Lance went a whole hour freaking out. Not sure what anyone would think when they saw that picture, they had been acting at first, but that position had come in naturally as they talked.

After freaking out and trying to track down the original picture, without luck, Lance went to bed, exhausted from the sleepover. He was then woken up way too early for a Sunday, 7.30 am, by his phone ringing. Rachel, his twin, was the one calling and they had now talked for almost an hour.

"Come on, Lancelot. Where is my cheeky brother at?"Rachel asked, her voice not wholly hiding the concerned tone.

"I don't know Rach. Everything has gone wrong…" Lance said his voice was shaking slightly.

"When why don't you just tell Keith is time to end this?" Rachel asked, sounding a little tired for hearing this for the third time that morning.

"Because… Because I like him! Okay? He's cute and sweet and passionate about stuff he likes" Lance said, his voice growing lower and lower as he talked.

"You… What?" Rachel exclaimed over the phone not sure she heard him right the first time.

"I like him."

"YEAH, I heard! But When? How?" Rachel said, still in shock.

"Turned out I'm not as straight as I thought. After something said to me that they didn't know I was gay, I kind of panicked and well… I talked with Hunk about it and figured out I was bi" Lance said shyly, feeling weird coming out.

"Oh" Was all Rachel said, leaving Lance to feel nervous.

"It's… I'll call you back, okay Lance, promise" Rachel said fast before contact broke and deafening silence filled Lance's ears.

Lance stood frozen with his phone still held to his ear. Tears bubbled in his eyes. He had thought Rachel of all people would accept him, especially after Veronica had. He took his phone down from his ear looking at it in disbelief.

His fingers dial Hunk's number on reflex, Lance didn't even notice until the phone was back up against his ear.

"Hola Hermano" Hunk said cheekily.

Lance opened his mouth to answer, but all that got out was a low sob as tears fell rapidly down his cheeks.

"Lance? Is everything alright?" Hunk asked, concerned.

"Please come over with ice cream" Lance got choked out in between the sobs.

Lance sat in his bed, cuddling up against Hunk, eating ice cream and watching Merlin. Hunk had come over as soon as their phone call had ended, Only making a stop for ice cream, not asked any questions and just hugged Lance. When the doorbell rang, Hunk was the one to open without even looking at Lance to know it was on him.

"What are you doing here?" Hunk's voice sounded angry, which was very unusual, and Lance turned part of his attention towards the door.

"One moment, Lance" Hunk yelled, and the door closed.

Lance heard some hushed voices but nothing more. Lance quickly dismissed it and turned his full attention back to Merlin. He heard the door open but didn't look that way, too caught up with his show to care.

"Hey Lancey, could you turn Merlin off for a moment," Hunk asked softly.

Lance hummed and did what Hunk asked him Merlin was turned off, Lance turned his attention to Hunk, but his eyes quickly fell on the girl next to him.

"What-what are you doing here, Rachel?" Lance stuttered, getting out of his bed.

Rachel didn't answer, only walking, with firm but slow steps, to her twin brother. Lance flinched when his sister was a few feet away from him.

"I'm so sorry that my reaction sounded like I didn't accept you because I do," Rachel said, her hand reaching up to Lance's cheek and drying away some of the tears.

"I don't care who you like, but I wanted to see you, I wanted to hug you, tell you to thank you," Rachel said, looking sadly at lance.

"Thank you?" Lance asked, confused.

"For telling me" Rachel couldn't hold back any more and hugged her brother tightly.

They stood like that, hugging each other tightly for a long time. Lance finally letting it sink in that Rachel had accepted him and the sadness disappeared and was replaced with a feeling of warmth. But Lance was still confused about one thing.

"Why did you end the call the way you did if you accept me?" Lance voice was quiet but held deep confusion.

"Well, it's a little embarrassing, but… I got a cat, and she was just about knocking over bisabuela blue vase. It wasn't until after that I realised what a bad way I ended our call, but I knew it was too late just to call you so I came here to see you" Rachel said with an apologetic expression.

"That's seriously your reason, that's why I got stressed, because of a cat?" Lance said he couldn't control his laughter escaping.

Lance's laugh got both Hunk and Rachel to join in, and soon they were all laughing hysterically like a bunch of maniacs


A/N: Sorry for making you think Rachel didn't accept Lance, well they love each other and Rachel will lead a pride parade for her twin brother!
