"What?" Allura screeched.
"Absolutely not!" Shiro growled, starring Lotor down. Lotor shrugged. "Those are only options I have for you paladins."
"How about a third one, where I kick all your asses!" Keith spat out, glaring behind Lotor at his generals. They all stood straight up, quiet and refusing to make eye contact with anyone.
Lance had stayed quiet during all of this, but he finally stood up. "Enough!" He shouted, slamming a hand down on the table in the room, which halted all the yelling.
"I'll go." Lance said.
"No way in hell are we letting you go." Shiro spoke, still glaring at Lotor.
"Ehh let him go, he might be better off that way." Keith said. Lance glared at him; he could see Keith was challenging him for more bloodshed. He turned away. "If this is true, we could keep Zarkon at bay for at least a while."
"Don't you think with a paladin gone and Voltron unable to form, that would spur Zarkon on even more?" Hunk asked.
"We cannot risk losing a paladin and having Zarkon attack us." Allura said.
Lotor raised a hand to his chest. "Believe me, if he could, he would attack relentlessly. However, since your last battle, he has been bed-ridden for quite some time. For now, he just wants to make sure the 'threat' of Voltron attacking him is gone for the time being."
Pidge raised an eyebrow. "He is weak? Isn't this an even better time to go and finish him off?"
"Yes but if what Lotor says is true, he could destroy innocent planets with a push of a button." Shiro said, eyeing Lotor, who smiled. "Believe what you will Black paladin, either way, i take the lions, or i take one of you paladins."
"That isn't an op-" Shiro started
"I'll go!" Lance interrupted him. "I know you don't want that, but regardless of what you guys think, I trust Lotor. At least for a little, let me stay with Lotor until we figure this out."
Shiro groaned, rubbing his neck. "No Lance, we won't let you leave. We will come up with another solution. for now, it is late and I am tired. We won't get anywhere since none of us are agreeing with Lotor's terms."
Allura nodded. "We all need some rest. Lotor, may we think it over and discuss it more tomorrow?" Lotor smiled. "Of course princess. If I may ask, is there a place my generals and I may rest?"
"The prison cells." Keith slipped out. Allura glared at him before turning and plastering on a fake smile. "If you must, you can use the few far rooms in the east wing. Though I will have eyes on you all at all times, so don't even try to do anything suspicious."
Lotor smiled warmly. "Of course not my princess." He turned and without a word the generals and Lotor slipped out.
Lance started to speak, but Shiro cut him off. "Lance... please don't. Sending you away would be a great risk. I get you trust him, but please understand that none of us do. He could be lying about all of this. Zarkon could be perfectly fine and preparing an army as we speak."
Allura nodded. "I'm sorry Lance, we need time."
Lance hung his head. "Fine. I'm going to bed." He turned and left, heading towards his room. He heard Keith yell out something, but Lance ignored him. He was too tired to fight. He was frustrated.
'Why can't they trust him?' Lance thought, groaning. He knew why, but he didn't want to believe it.
Sure he had only spent one night with Lotor, but that was all it took. He could just feel that Lotor was trustworthy, he couldn't put it into words. He slid the door to his room open, and fell face first into the floor.
"Ughhh... I should really clean." He groaned, sitting up. His room was covered in clothes, games, plates, and cups. He really wasn't much of the cleaning type. He shuffled to his bed and collapsed onto it.
He recalled all the events that had happen in the span of a few hours. He never thought he would run into Lotor so soon. Hell, he never thought he would have been able to touch Lotor again.
When he had ran out after their fun time in the hotel, he was sure he would never see Lotor and he could forget about it all. But he couldn't. Lotor ran through his veins. He was Lance's air; he couldn't live without him.
Lance groaned, suddenly aching for Lotor's touch; desperately turned on. He curled a pillow between his legs as he slowly ground his hips into it. He imagined Lotor touching his face, his arms, his legs, his-
Lance sat up. 'Quiznak. Lotor is right here in the castle!'
Lance tossed his feet over the sides of his bed, changing out of his armor into a white tank top and shorts. He went to his little bathroom he had in his room, brushing his teeth and combing his air.
He grinned at himself in the mirror and posed with some finger guns. "Still got it Lance." He chuckled before sneaking out of his room and towards Lotor's.
He snuck by the lounge and heard Shiro and Allura talking quietly. He paused just outside of the door as he listened.
"You know that it is a bad idea to trust him right?" Allura asked. Shiro grunted.
"Of course I do, Lotor is a trickster and sly; we can never be too careful."
"And yet we are allowing him to sleep aboard our castle!" Allura groaned. Lance could hear them shuffling around.
"What I don't understand is why Lance trusts him so much. I mean Lance only met him once right? And they.. ahem didn't talk much as Lance put it." Allura said after a moment.
"Lance is rather quick to trust anyone, But then again, we all are at some point. Take for example our run with Rolo and Nyma. We trusted them and they turned on us. Hell, Lance ended up getting tied up because he took Nyma out on his lion." Shiro pointed out.
Lance winced slightly at the memory. He was pretty quick to trust, but he just knew Lotor was trustworthy.
"I just... I don't think making a deal with Lotor is a good idea. However if we don't make a deal, he may become violent and take our lions or one of us by force." Allura sighed.
"I agree. Without Voltron I don't think we could win in a fight against him, but clearly Lance would refuse to form Voltron so that wouldn't work either." Shiro groaned. The two shuffled more inside the room.
"Well.." Allura started. "For now let's just get some sleep, I know you are exhausted."
Nothing was said, and Lance suddenly worried Shiro would walk out to go to his room and catch Lance. Lance quickly darted by the lounge and held his breath just in case.
Lance made his way to the east wing. there were about 7 rooms there, and Lance suddenly realized he didn't know which one Lotor was in and which ones his generals were in.
What if they were all sleeping in the same room? Generals have to be at their prince's beck and call after all. Lance walked up to one door, pressing his ear to it. Nothing.
He moved to the next. And the next.
'Maybe knocking wouldn't be too bad. If i get the wrong room, i could always pretend i was just checking up on them.'
Lance raised his hand to knock, before the door slid open. He gaped. Lotor only had on tight underwear on, leaving nothing to the imagination. His white hair slipping off his shoulders as he crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame.
"Yes, blue paladin?" He inquired. Lance gulped. "J-just wanted to check in on you guys. Make sure you were ok and all." He suddenly felt nervous.
Lotor narrowed his eyes at him, before reaching forward and grabbing Lance's wrist. "Was that all?" He purred, moving Lance's hand towards his mouth as he slipped his tongue between Lance's fingers. Lance felt hot. The burning spread from his fingers to every inch of his body.
"No..." He breathed out as Lotor pressed a kiss to Lance's palm. Lance shivered.
"I... I need you." He panted out, feeling himself grow hard. Lotor smiled, pulling him in by the wrist.
"Welcome back to your rightful place, my kitten." Lotor purred, pressing Lance against the wall as he kissed him deeply. Lance melted in place.
'This is where I belong.'
