Hey Guys! So many people who are fluent in spanish came up to me and pointed out my errors. I was never good at spanish back in high school, and I relied too much on that knowledge and friends helping me, so because of all the mistakes, I won't bother trying to have the characters speak spanish. I don't want to keep making mistakes and I don't want to offend anyone, I hope you all understand!
ALSO, i haven't watched season 6 yet (i know, i am a horrible human bean) so please no spoilers! plus i am not really keeping this story tied with the actual storyline so who caarreeesss XD
The giant group of people had been ushered inside the giant house, and an absolutely gorgeous house at that. There was a giant crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Beautiful hats and blankets of all different colors and designs were hanging from the walls, it gave it a very homey feel.
All the windows were open and the cool breeze was blowing inside. Everyone was talking at once, among themselves and towards the newest couple. Lotor squeezed Lance's hand tightly, not wanting to let go.
Lance had so far been able to keep the beanie and the sunglasses on, though they both knew they would have to come off at some point. At the very least the sunglasses would. Some women older than Lance came up and gave him giant hugs, forcing Lotor to have to let go of his hand. Before he knew it, the two had been separated and Lotor had a small crowd of his own around him.
In the house alone, there had to be over 40 people. It was a huge house, but Lotor felt like there was no room to breathe.
His own crowd consisted of mostly older people, but a few teenagers and young adults were all trying to talk to him at once.
He put his hands up in defense, and moved back slightly while the group continued to chatter at him like chipmunks. "How old are you?" One of the old gals asked. Lotor very well couldn't say his actual age, so he stuck to saying he was "22." Just a few years older than Lance, hopefully that would be OK.
It was. The older women smiled in agreement, while the younger ones giggled and laughed around him.
One girl, with long black raven hair and brown eyes, had slid near him and leaned up as she spoke. "And how long have you and Lance been together?" She asked curiously.
Lotor smiled; his lover, his kitten. He couldn't help but be happy to talk about anything that had to do with Lance. "We have been together a few months now."
The girl grinned at him. "Is that all?" She commented, making Lotor frowned before she turned and disappeared in the crowd. Something was off with her, he didn't like it.
"HEY EVERYONE!" Angelica yelled, gaining everyone's attention. She was standing up on a chair, so she was taller than most of the people there. "We have tons of food out in the backyard, take the kiddies and go have some fun!"
Everyone hollered in agreement before pushing their way to the back of the house. Everyone was laughing and giddy, and Lotor couldn't help but laugh as well. He glanced around and met his eyes with Lance's. Lance's sunglasses had disappeared, and even from a distant Lotor could see the yellow in his eyes.
Even so, he was smiling and laughing, a small child riding on his shoulders and shouting "Forward!" Over and over.
Lotor followed the crowd, noticing that the girl that had rubbed him the wrong way was standing back and whispering to some other girls and boys her age. Her eyes locked on Lotor and a grin on her face.
Lotor didn't want to think that she may be interested in him, it was obvious that he was taken, but the thought still crossed his mind and made his brows furrow in thought.
Too soon they were outside again, and the blinding light made Lotor wince. Everyone had dissipated in small groups as they headed over to the long table of food. Lotor surveyed the area for Lance and saw him talking to his mom and a few others. Lance noticed Lotor and beckoned him over.
Lotor walked over and Lance immediately slipped his hand into Lotor's. "Lotor, you already met my mom, This is my dad, my two little brothers Marco and Luis, and my big sister Veronica, who is currently over there. Hey V!" Lance shouted.
Said sister turned and smiled at Lance, walking over to say hello, and Lotor's heart dropped. Veronica was the same girl who gave Lotor the weird feeling. She gave Lotor a big smile, but her eyes spoke a different tune. Lotor nodded quickly at her and turned to introduce himself to the rest of the family.
Lance's dad had curly brown hair, the same color as Lance's, and a well trimmed mustache. The two brothers practically looked like twins, both had black hair and bright brown eyes, both had to be no older than 10 years old.
The twins had already attached themselves to Lotor, both sitting on his feet with their arms around his legs, looking up at him with beaming faces. Lotor felt honored that such small beings already found him comfortable to be around. Lotor glanced up to look at Lance's dad and offered his hand.
"Nice to meet you Lotor." Lance's dad spoke, reaching out to shake his hand. Lotor grasped it firmly, nodding back with a small smile. "A pleasure to meet you sir."
"You can call me Diego. I hope you have been taking good care of my boy!" He held on tightly to Lotor's hand, and his brow furrowed as he stared up at Lotor. Lotor quickly nodded again, finding himself to be somewhat nervous around the intimidating man.
"O-of course sir... Diego, I would never hurt him."
Diego released Lotor's hand, guffawing loudly and slapping his leg. "Relax boy! I know my boy Lance can stand up for himself. If you were to hurt him, he would be sure to give you hell."
Diego continued to laugh and Lotor just smiled, turning to Lance who seemed embarrased. "I know he would, he is incredibly strong."
"Dad stop." Lance blushed, pushing at his dad who just pulled him into a big bear hug. "I do it with love! Plus you never brought a boy or a girl home, so it is about time I was able to meet your lover!" Diego said, squeezing Lance before setting him down.
"And for gods sake, take that ridiculous attire off!" Angelica laughed, tugging off Lance's beanie before he could protest.
Angelica let out a yelp as she dropped his hat and put her hands to her mouth. Veronica looked surprised, but just giggled to herself. Diego was about just as surprised as her and the twins had unlatched themselves from Lotor's legs to jump onto Lance.
"You have white hair!" Marco laughed, reaching up to tug at the white strands. Lance awkwardly laughed and pried himself away from the twins. "I.. i wasn't sure how to tell you mom. It isn't anything serious and it is hard to ex-"
"AND YOUR EARS!" She yelled, moving towards Lance and gripping tightly at one of his pointy ears. Some people nearby had jumped in surprise to her outburst and had turned curiously to witness the display.
Lotor noticed the attention they were bringing, and moved over to step in. "Ma'am, i feel this would be better to discuss behind closed doors."
Angelica turned to stare at him with wide eyes, her mouth open in shock, before she pressed her lips tightly together and nodded. After Diego and Angelica told their other guests that everything was fine and they just wanted to privately chat with their son and his lover, the parents, Lotor, and Lance made their way back into the house.
Veronica stayed with the young twins but she gave Lotor a sly smile before turning away. Once behind closed doors and in the parent's master bedroom, Angelica sat down and placed her head in her hands.
"Are you rebelling or something? What is this? Why did you dye your hair? What did you do to your ears? What is going on? Is he forcing you to make these changes?" She pointed accusingly at Lotor, who blinked in surprise.
"N-no ma'am, I would ne-"
"He wouldn't do that mom! He saved my life!" Lance interrupted them, his fists clenched. The group fell silent and he ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "I really didn't know how to explain any of this to you, so i was hoping to hide it. Of course that was a futile effort, wearing this kind of attire in this heat is just ridiculous. Ughh... ok, mom listen..."
The group fell silent as Lance explained. He mentioned running into Lotor one night, their passion of course left out. He talked about how they had a connection, how his teammates disapproved, those reasons also left out. Lotor began to feel like lying and hiding parts of the truth would forever be in his life, but he would come to accept that.
When Lance talked about the fight between him and Shiro, and how he had almost died if not for Lotor, his mom started bawling and her husband held her tightly in his arms. Lance was tearing up too as he spoke, glancing over at Lotor who quickly moved to his side and grasped his hand firmly, squeezing tightly in reassurance.
"I basically have alien blood in me..." Lance finished, scratching his head with his free hand. "Because of this, my body has gone through changes, but I am still the same Lance who grew up watching cartoons and eating junk food to the point of barfing."
His mother was rubbing at her eyes and his dad was watching her intensely. "Listen son, you know your mother and I will love you no matter what. This will just take getting use to. But as always, we will get use to it and everything will be as it was. And Lotor," Diego looked at Lotor, who turned his attention to the man. "You did what you needed to, to save my son. I cannot thank you enough for bringing him home in one piece."
"Of course sir, I love your son very much, more than I have ever loved anything in my whole life." Lotor turned to smile down at his lover, and Lance teared up even more and wrapped his arms tightly around Lotor's waist.
Angelica tried to say something, but was a crying mess and only bits and pieces of what she would try to say made any sense.
Lance seemed concerned, and reached out to touch her shoulder. "A-are you ok mom? I know this is alot to take in..." Angelica nodded, placing her hand over his to squeeze it and give him a soft smile. Diego chuckled softly. "She is probably just extremely happy you are alive after all you boys went through."
Angelica nodded at that and wiped at her eyes with some tissues nearby. "Please, you boys go out there and get some food, once your mother calms down we will come out." He smiled at both of them before Lance nodded and he and Lotor walked out of the room.
Instead of going back into the backyard, Lance took Lotor's hand and tugged him upstairs. "I want to show you something." Lance said quietly, his voice cracking slightly. Lotor nodded and followed.
Before long they found themselves on a huge deck high above the ground. There was an adorable set of white chairs surrounding a white table. The sun was beginning to set in the horizon, and it colored the ocean in beautiful waves of colors. Lotor had never seen anything so beautiful, the dazzling light reflecting off of the water, it was majestic.
"Whenever i need some time to myself, i come up here. My family is huge, if you can't tell. Sometimes it gets chaotic, and around here there is no place to hide that is quiet, except this deck. This is basically my special place. None of my siblings or other family members come here, and they never bother me if i sit here. While growing up here, i would never have time to myself unless i was on this deck. When i went into space, when i became a member of Voltron, sometimes it was so quiet, I missed the chaos here." Lance spoke, his eyes following the waves of the water that crashed against each other.
"But i always knew that if and when i came back home, this deck would be waiting for me, for any moment i needed to catch for myself. It was always my special deck, someplace where I could just close my eyes and drift away, but i had always wanted to share it with someone... and I decided that, that someone, has to be you." Lance continued, turning to look up at Lotor.
Lotor smiled warmly, wrapping his arms tightly around Lance and bringing him into a soft, warm hug. "I am honored to be chosen, amongst all the friends and family you have here."
Lance tilted his head up, tears in his eyes and a big smile on his lips. "I love you so much Lotor."
Lotor bent down, decreasing the distant between their lips as he spoke softly, "And I love you, my kitten."
I am a potato. Comment lovelies!
