*Boom, Zaramay! First wish of the day!
*Sorry, I've been watching Shimmer and Shine. I'm 16 and don't care!
*Here's chapter 3. Slightly longer this time.
*And Thace is Keith's father in here, I know we don't clearly know who his parents are, but Thace is Keith's father in my opinion.
*Three...Two...One...Begin!
"Keith!" Lance said, happily, running to hug Keith. "Oh, Lance! Your back!" Keith said, hugging Lance tighter. "Don't do that again! You left when I came back to Voltron, do you know how worried the team was, I was?"
"Keith, I'm sorry..I just didn't want to be there when and if you came across dead..you know how I feel.." Lance said, nuzzling his face into Keith neck. "I know, and I feel the same way..just don't do it again, okay? You scared us, mostly me.."
"Don't worry Keith, I won't.." Lance said, looking Keith in the eyes. "Good, cause I'm joining the team again." Keith said, smiling, Lance smiling back. After a few minutes, something happened. Lance changed, stabbing Keith in the side with a knife. "Ah! Lance, what the hell!? Why..?" Lance smiled mischievously. "Keith, I love you, ya'know?"
"Lance, I do too, but what are you-" Keith was cut off, feeling chains around him and cuffs on his wrists. Lance was putting them on him. "That is why I will never let you go, not again.." He tightened the chains, Keith wincing in pain. "Lance, what's gotten into you?" Keith asked, looking up at Lance, who was dragging Keith to to Galra empire, Lotor standing at the gates. "Keith, you'll be with me. Always." With that, the gates shut.
Lance jumped out of Lotor's bed, screaming, making Lotor sit up in the bed, going over to Lance, grabbing him gently, asking him in a calm voice. "What happen-" Lotor was cut off by Lance. "I-I don't want that dream, it was terrible and-" Lotor cupped his face. "Lance, what happened in the dream?"
"I-I hurt Keith in the dream, chaining him up, stabbing him in his side and dragging him here..right outside the gates..don't let that happen, please Lotor.." Lotor looked Lance in the eyes, a loving and desireful look. Lance turned slightly red, calming down a little. "I will not let that happen. You have a prince's word." Lator said. He really did, no fingers crossed cause his hands were holding Lance's face. Lance smiled, closing his eyes. "Thank you, Lotor!
Lotor then put an arm around Lance's shoulder, leading him out of the room and down the hall. Zarkon was walking down the hall towards them. He stopped them. "It is time for breakfast, Lotor. And Lance, you may join us, but you sit at the end of the table." Zarkon told him, looking at Lance with a plain face. "Father, he can sit beside me. We don't want to be rude to our guest, do we?" Lotor responded, Lance looked between the two of them, who were staring at each other with their purple eyes. "Lotor, it's fine. I'm not hun-" Lance was cut off by Lator dragging him towards the dining room.
"No, you are eating breakfast. That's final." Lotor said, his arm still around Lance's shoulder, dragging him into the dining room, setting him in the seat beside Lotor's. The food was already sitting on the table, the usual. Lance looked down, uncomfortable being at the table. Zarkon sat at the table, starting to eat, as did Lotor and Lance slightly.
After eating was over, they had drinks. Before Lance could pick his drink up, Lotor took it, holding a vial of some liquid. "Since you're our guest, I have something..special in this vial for you." Lotor smiled and opened the vial, pouring the liquid into Lance's drink. He then gave the cup back to Lance, who looked at it before drinking it. "Go on, it's safe." Lotor saying with a smile. Lance nodded, taking a sip from the cup. Zarkon glared at his son, knowing what he put into Lance's drink.
After breakfast, Lotor took Lance to see someone who is close to Keith. His father, Thace. Thace was in the training room, using what looked like lightning on a dummy. "Thace!" Lotor yelled out, ,getting Thace's attention. "Oh, hey Lotor. Just training-" Thace started, catching Lance beside Lotor. "...What is the blue one doing here?"
Lance looked at Thace and moved slightly closer to Lotor, nervously. Lotor smiled, pulling Lance from behind him. "The 'blue one' is Lance. He came here for some comfort from me, concerning Keith and what he did yesterday." Lotor said, looking down at Lance, then up to Thace.
Thance, looking at Lance, went up to him and kneeled down. "Keith is..my son. He talked about you mostly. He has..strong feelings for you, I do not think he died." Lance was staring at Thace and he just nodded slightly. Lotor smiled, waiting for Lance's reaction after having that drink.
Lance, Lotor and Thace were all sitting in the training room together. "You should really get back to the team. They're probably worried about you, right? And Keith is probably back there, like he said he would. He was talking about 'I can't wait to join back with them and show them what I can do now, especially Lance.' and everything" lance was about to say something in response, but his stomach started to act up. "Ow..well geez.."
Lotor stood up and picked Lance up with him. Lance could barely stand up, he was shaking and holding his stomach. Thace then stood up, looking at Lance. "Lance, are you okay?" He tried to put his hand on Lance's forehead, but Lotor moved himself to avoid that. "He's fine, I'll take care of him."
"Lotor, what are you up to? It seems like you knew this was going to happen to him." Thace said, glaring at Lotor. " I'm just helping him, what's wrong with that?" Lotor said. Thace was glaring at Lotor. He reached for Lance and took him up in his arms. "Since my son has feelings for this boy, I will take care of him. I don't trust you with Lance like this, What did you do?" Thace said sternly. Lotor held up the Vail of the liquid he put into Lance's drink. "I put some sildenafil into his drink a while ago. It's taking effect now, so I need him. Hand him over, Thace." Lotor tried to grab Lance, who was using his jacket to cover his lower half the sildenafil was taking effect at.
"Can someone just..please, make it stop..! It hurts.." Lance cried out, wiggling in Thace's arms. Thace almost dropped Lance, so he tried to keep him still. "Lance, calm down. We'll find Keith and he'll gladly take you-" Thace started, but was cut off by Lotor, who grabbed Lance away from him. "Why try and find Keith when I can just do it? It'll be easier." That said, Lotor walked down back to his quarters, Thace thinking to himself. 'I have to reach my son and tell him. Lotor can't bite him.' Thace then went to the comms room, sitting in a chair. He found Shiro, Matthew and Keith's connection. He immediately reached them.
'Hello? Paladins? It's Thace. I've got information for you.'
Back with Shiro, Matthew and Keith, they received the message and pulled the screen up to see Thace and also for Thace to see them. "The Galra's. Not a surprise. Is it about Lance? We're at a loss here.." Shiro replied. Keith ran up behind Shiro's chair, looking to Thace on the screen. "Where's Lance at, dad!?"
'Calm down, son. He came here yesterday morning. Lotor gave him some sildenafil in his drink this morning. I can't stop him, you have to get here. Quick. Keith needs to do this to Lance, not Lotor. And he can't bite him either, that would be the worst thing to happen..' Shiro, Keith and Matthew looked at each other then back to the screen. Shiro prepared the red lion to leave for the Galra Empire. "Give us the coordinates and we'll be there as fast as possible. Red is on his full max." Shiro said, waiting for Thace to give the coordinates. Thace nodded and sent them the coordinates in a message. "Get here fast, I'll distract Lotor in the meantime. Lance belongs to-" Thace was cut off by Keith. "Me! He belongs to me and me only!" Thace smiled, Matthew and Shiro laughing slightly. "Yes, son, he belongs to you and you only. And don't do anything rash to Lotor when you get here either, understood?" Keith nodded, Thace and the three said goodbye and that they'ed be there soon, turning off the video cam, leaving the coordinates up. They then took off, an angry Keith, Matthew trying to calm him down and Shiro piloting. Lace will be okay, right?
