Hey! I'm back! And yes, I know that I'm probably in trouble, but I had writers block!
Daniel's heart was racing while he ran, thinking about where Alec was.
"It's not like him to not tell me…" Daniel mused.
His mind then drifted as he thought about the possible places he could be. Unfortunately for Daniel, he stopped paying attention to where he was running. Daniel got so caught up in his thoughts he crashed right into someone, the impact sending him to the ground. He groaned and looked up at the person that sent him to the ground.
Looming over him was a muscular man in his early twenties. He had cropped black and clear green eyes. He was in a uniform that indicated he was high in military ranks. Daniel's eyes widened when he realized who he ran into.
"Alec?"
"Hey, piccolo." Alec greeted, offering his hand.
Daniel took it and was pulled into a hug by his big brother. Daniel didn't move for ten seconds until he slowly hugged him back.
"I… I thought you were still on Active Duty." Daniel said.
"I am. I got assigned here." Alec laughed.
Daniel started laughing with him, not really knowing what else to do. He was just happy that his brother was back. Alec ruffled his hair and released him.
"Daniel!" Pidge yelled as he finally caught up.
"Right, talk to you later!" Daniel yelped and starting running.
Pidge stopped next to Alec and bent over coughing, trying to catch his breath.
"It helps if you hold your arms over your head." Alec advised.
Pidge did so and steadily caught his breath.
"So, why are you chasing him with a ruler?" Alec asked.
"Phone went off in class. In trouble." Pidge panted.
"That little- Daniel! I'll meet you at the Castle with him. Oh, and can you tell Queen Allura that First Lieutenant Alec Chandler has arrived?" Alec said.
"Yeah, sure. Just bring back Daniel." Pidge said.
"Sure thing." Alec replied and took off running towards Daniel.
"First Lieutenant, huh? Wonder if he can catch up to Daniel." Pidge mused before returning to the Castle.
