Leverage [Lotor X Lance]

The Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into

"Ezor, you're gay, right?" Lotor asked as he continued to pace around Acxa's room.

"Lotor, everyone in our friend group is gay!"

"I was just making sure!" Lotor whined. Ezor raised a brow, but Lotor continued on with his rant. "Have you ever wanted to be with a guy?"

"Pfft, no, " Ezor laughed, falling onto the bed. When she went to sit up straight again, she saw Lotor's face looming over hers. Their lips were centimeters apart when Ezor started to cackle. "What... pfft... What are you even— What are you doing?" As Ezor continued to laugh, Lotor straighter himself up and looked away shyly.

"You felt nothing, then?" Lotor questioned, voice strained. Ezor's face paled as she came to a frightening (wrong) conclusion.

"Oh, Lotor. It isn't your fault, and there are many other girls out there..." Ezor didn't know how to comfort straight males being rejected by their gay crush so she decided to shut up right there.

"Ezor, why the hell would I ever like you?" Lotor snapped, and Ezor just responded with a shrug.

"You just seemed really sad, what else was I going to think?"

"I'm gay," Lotor whispered. Ezor, barely catching to words, fell off of her bed. When she finally resurfaced, her smile was wide and she looked happy.

"LOTOR THAT'S AWESOME!" Ezor screeched. Her ponytail was swinging from side to side as was her head, her sign of showing she's hyped as fuck.

"We heard a fall!" Acxa said, bursting into the room and behind her was Narti and Zethrid.

"Lotor's gay!" Ezor cheered, not failing to remind all of them of Pinky-Pie from the show, My Little Pony.

Jesse was the one to break the silence at dinner that night. "Alguien casi mató a Lance hoy (1)," She spit out. Everyone looked at Lance, and Lance was glaring at Jesse. Then everyone was talking at once.

"¿Qué quieres decir con que alguien casi lo mata? (2)"

"¿Cuándo fue eso? (3)"

"Lance, ¿estás bien? (4)"

"¿Por qué no lo dijiste antes? (5)"

"¿Tú estás bien?! (6)"

"¡SILENCIO! (7)" Their father shouted, hair pulled in a high ponytail while they were talking so they could all see how angry he was. Everyone quieted down. "Lance, no tienes que decirnos nada si no quieres. Pero... siempre estamos aquí para TI. Dinos, no nos digas. Díselo a una persona. Sólo asegúrate de que estás bien. (8)"

Lance smiled at his father and everyone in the household silently agreed at that that was the best course of action. "Os quiero a todos, lo sabéis. Pero estoy bien. (9)"

The McClain's ended the argument there and they all finished their food. Lance did the dishes and then walked into James's room. There, he saw James staring at a line of peanut butter sandwiches. They weren't more then a week old and perfectly good for eating.

As soon as James started to cry, Lance wrapped his arms around his little brother and pushed his head into his chest. Kissing his hair, he slowly rocked James back and forth. Through the msobs, James managed to wrap his arms around Lance as well.

"Lo siento (10)," James whispered, and clenched tighter onto his brother. "Lo siento, lo siento."

"Está bien, James (11)," Lance soothed, kissing James's forehead once more and then carrying him onto his bed.m

"Es? ¿Bien, quiero decir? (12)" James muttered, and Lance nodded.

"Dormir (13)," Lance then said, kissing James's forehead once more before tucking him in and leaving to room.
