Lance snorts and turns his phone back off, setting it to the side. He rubs at his eyes and gets out of the bed. He ventures to the bathroom connected to his room and strips down.

His face drops when he sees himself in the mirror. Suddenly aware that he looks so feminine. He chews on his bottom lip and pulls his underwear and bra back on.

No shower until later.

He ties his hair up into a bun and exits the bathroom. Yawning as he searches through his closet to find anything baggy.

He grabs an old t-shirt that he stole from his older brother. He slips it on as well as a pair of jeans. He puts a beanie over the bun and sits down to slip on his socks and shoes.

Lance heads over to his snakes habitat and checks the temp and humidity. Humming as he checks the water bowl. It'd be good until he got back from school.

"I'll see you later, Blue. You better be in a good mood." Lance jokes, laughing softly. He grabs his backpack and slips his laptop into it.

He slings one of straps over his shoulder and shoves his phone into his back pocket. He bounds down the stairs and smiles at his mom.

"Have a good day at school Lana."  she smiles.

Lance flinches and smiles back.
