"AND IIIIIIIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU!" Lance sang as loudly as his lungs would allow him too as the duo traveled to earth on Lotor's small ship.
The generals had wished them farewell and to get their minds off Zarkon and Voltron while they enjoyed their time together. Lotor, while wanting to go on the trip, was a bit unsettled to leave but with much encouraging from the generals and Lance, they had finally left and were on their way to Earth.
Lotor was rather amused during the trip, as Lance had taken it upon himself to sing many of the songs he enjoyed back on earth, many in a different language other than English.
"... But above all this, I wish you lovee..." Lance sang, a hand against his chest as he panted. "And that, my love, was a song by the amazing Whitney Houston." Lance gasped for air, grabbing a bottle of water and jugging it.
Lotor laughed. Lance had worn himself out. "You really do enjoy music." Lance flicked his eyes towards Lotor. "You kidding? In my family, music is a big part of our lives, especially our parties. Do galran people really not listen to music?"
"A long time ago parties and music would be a part of Galran traditions, such as crowning a king and queen or a marriage ceremony, but these days, I am sure you can't really picture tough, evil looking galra people to dance to, what was that song, the 'Hokey Pokey'?"
Lance fell into a fit of laughter, tears stinging his eyes. "Aahahah, that is true!"
The two continued to chat, and Lotor couldn't help but feel his heart beat in his chest as he listened to his lover. He could never get enough of Lance's beautiful voice.
"Tell me," Lotor interrupted Lance and waited until he turned towards Lotor, a curious smile on his face. "What is your mother like?" Lotor asked.
Lance's smile brightened, leaning back, crossing his arms behind his head as he closed his eyes. "She is amazing! She has her hands full taking care of over 20 kids, not all her own, yet she is still able to find the time to do things she enjoys. She always found time to play with me when I was younger. My favorite thing to do was play on the beach,, so every weekend she and I would go, just the two of us, and spend time on the beach looking for shells and shiny rocks."
Lotor didn't understand what he meant by a 'beach' or 'shells' and at the very least, 'shiny rocks' found in space often exploded on you, but Lotor simply nodded as he listened, though worried and confused.
"She always took time for each child she would care for, we all loved her to death." Lance was smiling happily at the memories flooding his mind. "Why did she have to take care of so many children?"
"Well I told you my family is huge. We are so close, that many of the small kids, me included, would consider each other brother and sister, even when we have different parents. The adults were also very close, we were a big happy family. I can't wait to see them again."
Lotor smiled. "How long has it been since you've seen them?"
Lance reached for a bottle of water, sipping on it. "Man, it has probably been about 2 years, almost 3 now. Even when I was on earth, when I was working with my team, I didn't have a lot of time to visit. Once I got into space and we met Allura and Coran, I never had a chance then. To be honest, I am a little nervous." Lance chuckled quietly.
Lotor reached over to grab his hand, lacing his fingers between Lance's. Lance blushed and smiled at him, while Lotor moved their hands towards him as he kissed the back of Lance's hand softly. "I will be with you always."
Lance's smile widened and he squeezed Lotor's hand in comfort. "And I will always be with you."
Lotor smiled back, as he continued to fly towards Earth with their hands together.
After a bit of silence, Lance spoke up again. "You know, I was wondering, you are part altean correct?" With a nod from Lotor, Lance continued. "So you have the ability to change your skins color right? I was thinking.. maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea if you could make your skin a little more, well my color."
Lotor raised an eyebrow. "Why is that?" Lance fidgeted in his seat. "Well, Earth doesn't really get a lot of.. well visitors from outer space. You don't look like a creepy alien, so it isn't like you would scare them off or anything. But, I think it may be a good idea just for you to kind of blend in. I would also love to show you around, and I don't really want a ton of eyes on us when I want to be alone with you..." Lance looked at Lotor, batting his eyes in a playful manner.
Lotor hummed, running his thumb up and down the back of Lance's hand. "I understand, though holding it for so long would wear me down, so if I could change back to my normal self at night, I think I can pull it off."
"Great! Thank you. Plus I don't know how my family would feel with me dating a purple dude." Lance chuckled, but Lotor turned to look at him. "You don't think your parents would be accepting? You said they would for our relationship."
Lance quickly shook his head, waving his free hand in front of his face. "Nonono, you got it all wrong! My family is very accepting, it's just, well it may take them time to accept the fact i'm dating someone who isn't an earthling. Trust me, I know they will love you. In time, we can show off my big purple panther, OK?" Lance gave him a sympathetic smile, and Lotor sighed.
"You know I can't ever be mad at you. I understand, how is this?" Lotor took a deep breath, closing his eyes and letting his altean blood flow through him as he focused on shifting. Lance watched in awe as the purple seemed to slip away and be replaced with a light brown color, almost like a tan. Lotor blinked, turning towards Lance and Lance gasped. His eyes had also changed, or rather, the yellow sclera in his eyes had been changed to white.
His ears were still their normal pointy length, but Lance could only reach over to touch Lotor's face. "Your powers are sooo freaking amazing!" Lotor whooped,grinning. Lotor smiled, almost shyly. "Thank you, I haven't shifted in a long time, so I may struggle to hold it for long periods of time. I won't be able to change my ears to look like yours though."
Lance slipped his hand out of Lotor's and stood up. "Not to worry! I have just the thing." Lance went over to their bags, shuffling through his while Lotor flew the ship. After a moment, Lotor felt something soft and fuzzy slip over his head while Lance pressed his soft hands gently against his ears as the soft thing slipped over them. "What's this?" Lotor asked, reaching up to touch it. "That, my big guy, is a beanie hat. That way it will cover your ears and is still fashionable and comfortable." Lance plopped back down in his seat, sighing with content.
Lotor chuckled, shifting back to his normal colors and reaching up to take the beanie off. "You are very clever, my kitten... But, do I need to wear this specific one?" Lotor eyed the design on the beanie. The beanie was black with Pink wording that stated 'I'm Fabulous' with a sunglasses design hanging off the lower part of the S.
Lance burst into laughter, wrapping his arms around his chest. "Aahhhaha, I'm sorry, but it suits you perfectly!" Lotor tossed at Lance's face, earning an 'oof' from the boy. "And pray tell how exactly?"
Lance slipped the beanie on his own head, before reaching over and slipping his fingers through Lotor's hair. "You just are. Anyone who sees you in the whole galaxy will and has fallen in love with you. You are just too fabulous, and yet I get you all to myself." Lance purred.
Before Lotor could speak, Lance had swung a leg over Lotor's and straddled his hips. Lotor looked up at Lance, smiling as Lance leaned down to kiss him. Lotor kept one hand on the driving stick as he slid his other hand up and down Lance's back.
Lance nipped at his lips, tugging at his lower lip gently. Lotor groaned, pulling Lance closer as he kissed him deeply. The two were just getting hot and heavy before a beep startled them apart.
"Now entering Earth's Stratosphere. Please begin slowing down as you arrive to your destination." The automated female-like voice echoed throughout the ship. Lance scowled. "Just when it was getting good!" He pouted. Lotor laughed, pulling Lance back down into a soft kiss. "We will have more time for that later."
Lance nodded, but showed clear signs of needing Lotor. He turned towards their destination and Lotor could see his face light up. He was so excited to see his family again.
"We should be arriving in about an hour." Lotor spoke, and Lance pumped his fists in excitement.
"Woo! Though,i think we need to get you into something more comfortable. Your normal armor is definitely not from any generation on earth, ever." Lance shifted his feet as he turned back towards their bags.
"And luckily, I have just the thing."
Lotor groaned. "Oh quiznak."
