Sitting down on my bed with Lotor, a small lump in my throat began to form.
"Lotor, I . . . I do know how you feel right now."
"How so?"
"Because I . . . I, uh . . . I like . . ." Should I tell him that I like him? No, he's too emotional right now; it wouldn't be good for his mental and emotional state . . . I thought. "I like someone on the ship, but they like someone else." I lied. Hopefully he won't ask-
"Who?" Damn it. That God-forbiden question.
"Uhm . . . " Think of something, Y/n . . . Wait-
~
"Do you like her?"
"Of course I do. Doesn't everyone on the ship?"
"I mean . . . like like her . . ."
"I don't think you should have the obligation to know that type of information right now. We're not . . . very close, are we, Miss Kogane?" snickered Lotor, pinching my cheek lightly, clearly teasing me.
~
"I don't think you have the obligation to know that, Lotor. We're not very close, are we, Emperor?" I smirked, hoping that that'll drop the crush question.
"Oh, using my own words against me, are we?" sneered Lotor with his piercing glowing eyes. He then began to suddenly burst out into laughter. "Such a clever girl, you are, Y/n." He got up onto his feet. "Well, I hope whoever you admire returns the feelings for you, and thank you for empathizing with me. You would make for a good girlfriend to the lucky person on this ship." And with that, he walked out of my room.

Later that day, I found Lotor chatting with Matt and Shiro.
"And then I said, 'Why wouldn't you color-code it? It's just like the most important thing to do when you receive something so messy as the piles of books and folders you have the corner of your room!' Like, seriously, Shiro! He was still a senior back at the Garrison, but boy, was he unorganized as heck!" chuckled Matt, patting his friend, Shiro, on the back lightly.
"I don't remember you ever saying that . . . ?" said Shiro, his arms crossed and eyebrow raised.
"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" I asked, butting into the conversation.
"I have an idea!" said Matt. "Let's all go chill at the pool! Allura said that there's a pool in the castle, and I wanna go check it out,"
"That sounds relaxing, Mister Holt. Y/n? Shiro?" Lotor asked, glaring at Shiro as he did so.
"Sounds fine, but I'll have to pass." Shiro said as he pointed at his Galra-tech arm.
"Y/n?" The halfbreed asked, turning to me.
"Oh, that sounds like fun! I'm in!" I said, eyes sparkling from the thought of getting closer to Lotor.

Changing into my f/c swimsuit/bikini, (please just roll with it for this . . . It's either a two piece or one piece, I'm so sorry...) I walked into the room with a towel to sit on and f/b to read. Matt came into the room with a dark green and black swim shirt and trunks on, along with goggles around his neck. Lotor was already there, setting up the pool. He was wearing nothing but purple and black trunks (and not to mention tight ones that fit his curves and muscles beautifully).
"Hey guys, how's the pool coming along?" I asked, setting down my towel and book.
"Oh, Y/n darling! There you are! I just need you to put on those water shoes over there. Oh, and give Matt one as well." smiled Lotor as he finished filtering the water in the (stupid) Altean pool.
"Sure thing, but why?" I asked, grabbing two pairs of the water shoes in the cubby.
"That'll make it so that we can stay in the pool without falling out from the ceiling." explained the halfbreed.
"What about you?"
"Alteans don't need such need for the shoes. We can make our feet stay up there because of our race, and these types of pools were created for only Alteans originally. Those shoes have the same texture an Altean has on the bottom of their feet, so it'll think you're Altean. Take them off, and you're going to fall painfully."
"I see, but how will we get up there?"
"There's a ladder over there, Y/n. We climb it and-"
"I know how ladders work, Lotor. We have them back on Earth . . . I think. I haven't been there for . . . I don't know, 12 years?" I said, trying to remember the last time I had been my home planet. I shook my head and walked over to Matt, handing him the water shoes.
"Um, Lotor, these are a bit too big for me?" Matt said.
"They adjust to your foot size, do not panic, Earthling."
"Yeah, just Panic! At the Disco," I smirked, hoping someone would get the reference.
"What?" asked the boys in unison.
"Never mind . . ." I groaned.
"Well, the pools all set and ready to enjoy. Just slip on the shoes, climb the ladder, and jump into the pool to relax." smiled Lotor as he started to walk towards the ladder.
Lotor's POV
Seeing Y/n in something quite . . . revealing couldn't stop me from blushing very faintly. The way the swimsuit hugged all of her curves and muscles so nicely just made me want to-
"Ahh!" I yelled, falling into the pool face-first.
I could hear her and Matt laugh at my humiliation as they were climbing up the ladder.
"You alright, Lotor? You didn't break or sprain anything, did you?" Y/n asked me with her kind e/c eyes sparkling at me.
"I'm fine. Thank you for caring about my well being." I said, getting up from the bottom of the shallow end.
"Let's get this party started!" hollered Matt, jumping into the pool enthusiastically, making mine and Y/n wet all over with water.
"Pff, nice pool hair, Emperor." sniggered Y/n, holding a small stand of my hair on her palm.
"Speak for yourself, darling." I chuckled back, her bangs practically covering both of her eyes.
