Escalate

Wait for me

"Look they uncuffed you!" Leo gasped as he had an IV in his arm as Lotor sat up slowly holding his torso as the doctors left the two in a room, it was a normal room for a prison cell, they usually had the prisoners strapped down to their rolling beds. But Lotor was to weak to fight anymore.

And Leo was... not exactly himself.

"What was the pills they shoved down your throat?" Lotor asked as he held his head, feeling dizzy despite how slow he got up.

"Oh it wasn't pillllz, it was tabletz," Leo hummed as he fiddled with the only cuff on his leg that made sure he'd stay in the bed.

"They gave you oxy...?" Lotor asked unamused.

"I fucking hope so! Cause ouch!" Leo yelled but gasped covering his mouth.

"That was loud," he giggled.

"Jesus fuck love your high," Lotor put his face in his hands and Leo cackled.

"They gave me a lot aaaaaand I haven't really eaten anything fooooor... how long have I been here?" Leo blinked confused as Lotor raised an eye brow.

"Who knows," he shrugged.

"Well I hope I stay high cause those assholes keep Chopin' me up! And making me fight and kill and honestly some people cut it close to killing me too," Leo laid on the bed staring up at the ceiling.

"I wanna go home," tears weld up in his eyes.

"Your a cryer when your high? Dammit," Lotor rolled his eyes as Leo.

"Damn straight I am! I am very emotional," Leo cried out throwing his hands up.

"Lotor where do you wanna go when we get out of here?" He looked at the young man curiously as he flopped on his stomach but grunted at the stitches on him still.

Lotor looked at him unsure, he hasn't thought of what he'd do if he'd ever be free, and Leo said when... he still believed they were getting out of here. Lotor didn't know whether to believe him or not.

"Italy," Lotor let out a shaky breath.

"It's where I was born, it's warm there... I hate always being cold," he smiled softly at lance who smiled back liking the answer.

"With Allura?" He giggled.

"I wouldn't mind if she joined me," Lotor chuckled.

"She will, and you'll like Italy, it's still pretty, me and Kira stayed there for four weeks once," Leo hummed with a bright smile but he looked down softly as his smile was fading.

"I miss him," Leo mumbled. "He was shit at emotions but he was real with me, I love him for him, even if he hates his body, I love it,"

"It took Akira so long to tell me he wasn't always a keith, he yelled at me a lot for it until he just accidentally spit it out, I remember I just grabbed him and held him, it was the first time he's cried in front of me," he sighed softly looking up remembering they were in America at the time, New Mexico.

"He was so mad, but I didn't care, I give great hugs and he really looked like he needed one, I told him I loved him, him for him, I didn't judge, how could I? It's not something to judge someone about, I don't care that Keith wasn't always a keith, like he never judged me for me, I miss him a lot," Leo babbled and looked back at Lotor.

"Is that what true love is? I never believed in soul mates or true love before meeting him, I thought it was always girly," he giggled but noticed Lotor was laying down. He could see his chest moving but he wasn't awake anymore.

"Get better buddy," Leo nodded smiling at his only friend.

A sixteen year old girl panted as she hid under a table as there was another trial she was apart of, she hated it when they had the group ones, they put ten of them in a room with tables, desks, chairs until five were dead.

She pushed her white hair out of the way but covered her mouth to hide a scream when someone slid next to her grunting but looked back at her.

"Hello Allura darling," the boy smirked.

"Lotor," she breathed and hugged him tightly.

"It's just a trial princess," Lotor blushed darkly as she held onto him.

"It's been so long since I've seen you though," she giggled. "So how you been?"

"Really? Right now?" Lotor blinked.

"Well we're not exactly cell mates," Allura scoffed rolling her eyes. They gasped when a laser went through the knocked over table between them.

Allura looked over as she extended her hand and threw a meta human at another into the wall as her hand flowed pink.

"Two are dead, promise you won't be part of the other three?" Allura looked at Lotor with big blue eyes full of concern.

"I am quit unstoppable," Lotor smirked.

"Good, stay that way," Allura leaned up kissing his lips softly as Lotor was in shock.

"P-princess?" Lotor stuttered as he was blushing brightly.

"Wait for me?" Allura giggled at his reaction. Lotor looked at her despite the trial going on, it felt like it was only them.

Lotor leaned down to capture her lips gently as Allura smiled brightly kissing him back, excited to extend their first kiss ever.

"Always, my princess," Lotor smirked regaining his confidence. Allura beamed happily as she jumped over the table and both her hands glowed as she slammed all the fellow experiments against the wall and they dropped, some unconscious. Lotor smiled in awe of the girl his heart yearned for. As long as she waited for him, he'll wait for her.
