Klanuary - One shots full of fluff

Day 3 - Galtean AU

A/N: Oof... this is a long one, I kinda got carried away...

Prince Lonz of Altea sat slumped in his throne, gazing out across the ballroom, with no real interest, as the crowd danced below them. He hated these prim and proper events, he hated girls in fluffy dresses being paraded before him, he hated stuffy celebrations, and he particularly hated this one. He hated that they were celebrating the engagement of his sister, to the Prince he had fallen in love with. The Prince that had whispered sweet nothings in his ear. The Prince who had stolen more than just his first kiss. The Prince that was now winking at him from across the dais.

'That insolent, arrogant, stuck up beast!' I thought to myself, as I sat up, and shifted in my seat, so he was no longer in my field of vision. 'I can't believe I EVER fell for that half-breed!'

I thought back to the summer I had first met Lotor. I was 18, and both he and Allura had been 19.

Both Allura and I had been sent off to different families, to help strengthen the alliances between the royal families. Allura had been sent to the Dalterion Belt, to spend time with Lady Trigel and her family, to help refine her etiquette, and to spend time with her daughter, who was of a similar age.

I was sent to Daibazaal, in the hopes that if I spent time with Zarkon, and boys of my own age, I may lose some of my softness, and become more manly.

We spent most of the summer traipsing around the sandy planet on tall, four legged creatures, with long necks, exploring abandoned cities, and searching for elusive oases. We were always accompanied by Lotors personal soldier, a scruffy looking Galra, who barely spoke, and would do anything Lotor told him to.

It was on one of these expeditions that we found a beautiful oasis. It was large one, with dense trees, so you couldn't see through to the other side. Lotor tied the creatures to the trees on the outside of the oasis, demanding the soldier stayed with them, and led me by the hand through the trees, and to the water.

The water was crystal clear, and was deep enough to swim in. I went to step in fully clothed, knowing that the heat would dry me off in no time, but Lotor stopped me. He tugged at the hem of my shirt, awkwardly trying to get it off, huffing in frustration until I lifted my arms above my head. He finally slipped it off, and then stepped back to take his off, letting me finally take in the shining purple abs he had hidden underneath. He then removed his pants, standing there in nothing but his underwear. He moved towards me, but I had finally caught on to what he wanted, and shed mine quickly.

He took me by the hand again, and led me into the water. We gently paddled out there for a while. I often caught him staring, but he would quickly look away. We dodged each others eyes, until he finally got the courage to stand in front of me, and look me in the eye.

"Lonz..." he said softly, as a gently caressed my cheek with his hand. I leant into it, and gazed up into his eyes, willing him to kiss me. He closed his eyes, and leant down towards me.

We were in the middle of a passionate kiss, when we heard a noise on the shore, and looked up to find the Galra boy, frozen in a state of shock. He let out a quiet yelp, and quickly turned, and ran.
By the time we had gotten out, got dressed, and returned to the creatures, both the soldier and his steed were gone.
I never saw him again that summer, but Lotor and I returned to the oasis many, many times.

Once I returned home, Lotor and I kept in contact, sending each other sweet letters, and visiting each other when we could. Our fathers thought it was great we were getting along so well, and saw it as a great sign for the future of our kingdoms.

I didn't care at all for the future of our kingdoms. All I cared about was the man I loved, and the future we would have together. And it was all going great. Until Lotor became acquainted with my dearest, darling sister.

Allura had been off planet for a few years now, choosing not to return after her summer vacation, and instead travel on diplomatic excursions, so had missed Lotor the few times he had come to visit. When they met, they both became infatuated with each other, leaving me heartbroken, as Lotor became nastier, and nastier towards me. It would have been bad enough if he had have just left me, but the fact that he treated me like dirt made me become bitter and angry towards the both of them.
