the blue mermaid [(klance) Voltron AU]

Chapter 1: Lance has a chance

At the bottom of a peaceful ocean, a young adult Prince is awakening on the day before his 19th birthday. When a Mermaid has reached the age of adulthood they are granted a pass to view the sunset and sunrise on their birthday day.

But this Prince is a deviant, disobedient to his father, king of the sea, king Shiro.

"Okay Lance, time to wake up! I've made you a wonderful breakfast!" Said a half human sea-lion named Hunk.

"Lance?" Hunk said worried, Prince Lance had not gotten up from his luscious bed, the curtains of thin material showed someone inside definitely. But that person was a mere mass of seaweed and rocks.

"LAAAAANCE!!" Screamed the sea-lion as he let go of the tray full of bountiful food and delicious treats any mer-person would love.

Outside of the spacious room was a young-adult, Prince Lance, laughing and snickering at the antics of his father's personal "slave" as Lance liked to say.

"Dang it Lance, I know your here! You better come out! King Shiro is gonna cut off my tail if you are missing on such an important day!" The large sea-lion shouted and muttered as he swam around Lance's room looking though his sheets and closest.

A silence rolled in and out of the room, Hunk could hear faint snickering and laughing outside the window.

'So outside today huh?' Hunk mentally sighed as he swam over to the window and quickly grabbed the sea Prince by his shoulders and pulled him inside.

"Lance! What are you doing pulling pranks this early in the morning!?" Hunk shouted at the still snickering prince.

"Your face was priceless Hunk!" Lance heaved as he pointed at the sea lion and continued to laugh, holding his abdomen.

"Well Lance, you need to hurry up and get ready! The king will have my tail if you don't hurry to his presence!" Hunk shouted more worried and scared at the end of his rant.

"That old guy wouldn't hurt a guppie! We're fine" Lance proclaimed waving his hand is a diminishing manner.

"LANCELOT MCCLAIN!" came a terribly loud shout from inside the castle.

"..."

"I'll just get going then!" Lance shouted as he swam faster than he has in the last ten years. Lance raced around the maze that was the castle, turning and swimming at an incredible rate.

The tanner Mermaid fixed his chocolate brown locks for the presence of his father, the king. Lances strong, sky blue tail danced in anticipation for his yelling at from his father Shiro.

"Lance, your getting to old pulls pranks, please act your age for once.." the king said in a dissatisfied tone to his only son.

"Well sorry 'king', but ya know I need some fun in my dull life" lance said as he quickly sat in the thrown next to his father.

"Lance, please call me father, I don't even like the citizens calling me 'king'" Shiro said in a deflated voice. "And happy early birthday" Shiro said as he handed Lance a small chest.

"Uhh thanks..?" Lance thanked Shiro in a confused yet thankful voice.

As Lance opened his mini chest, bubbles and tiny fish swam out of it, dancing in a beautiful pattern, their colors making pictures of other fish and different plant life.

"Thanks dad!" Lance said with a exhilarated voice and joyous face.

"That is not all Lance" Shiro said smiling contentedly, "look there" he pointed to the content inside the chest.

A small necklace floated out of chest, the necklace was made out of the most beautiful pearls and the brightest sea shell in all of the ocean.

"Open it" Shiro gestures to Lance.
