Otherworldly (Lancelot soulmate au)

CHAPTER 9

Today, Lance sat with Lotor and the generals in their common room. He felt more uneasy than he did at dinner. He didn't know why though. Even after all Lotor had done to help him feel welcome, something inside him, almost a voice, told him not to trust Lotor.

"Hey Lance, you feeling ok?" Acxa asked.

"Oh yeah, why?" Lance responded.

"You zoned out for a while there,"

"Whatcha' thinkin' about?" Zethrid bellowed playfully.

"Oh! Its nothing." Lance said.

Lotor put a hand on Lance's shoulder and Lance slightly tensed.

"Just know that you can talk to us, ok?" Lotor smiled sweetly.

Never trust him, the voice in his head said.

But he's your soulmate, said another voice.

The voice of his heart.

You must give him a chance!

That's right! Lance told himself. He's done nothing wrong so far! Why am I not trusting him?

"Lance?"

Lance looked up and saw Lotor looking at him with a concerned look.

"Yes?" Lance asked.

"I've been calling your name for two minutes, you zoned out very deeply." Lotor said.

"Oh..."

"Maybe we should take you to the medical wing-"

"No, its fine. I'll be fine." Lance stood up. "I think I just need to get some rest."

"Oh? Did you not sleep well last night?" Lotor stood up with him.

"Kinda...I had a-"

"Now go to your room and forget this happened"

"-A nightmare..." Lance finished.

"Oh I'm so sorry lov-AHEM-Lance." Lotor corrected himself quickly. "Allow me to escort you back to your chambers."

"Heh, I'd like that." Lance blushed a little.

...

As they walked, they made some quick convos.

"So Lance, what do like to do?" Lotor asked.

"Pfft" Lance cracked up. "Seriously?"

"What??" Lotor asked.

"I've been here for way longer than two days and you still haven't asked me that!"

"Oh..." Lotor looks down guiltily.

Lance suddenly realized what he said and ran in front of Lotor stopping him. "No that's not what I meant!"

Lotor looked up at Lance.

"I mean, a lots been going on! I get why you haven't asked me yet. Even if it's such a simple question-NO waitr! AAAAH! I'm messing this up-"

Lance was interpreted by Lotor's laughing.

"Excuse my laughter, but you're absolutely adorable when you ramble! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Lance blushed heavily.

They arrived at Lance's door.

"I guess this is where we part," Lotor said. "Rest well Lance,"

Lotor gave Lance a kiss on the head, and walked away.

They both blushed furiously.

Lance awoke to a knock on the door. Lance yawned, well rested.

"Coming Lotor!" Lance called.

He opened the door, but there only stood the cloaked woman again.

"Oh hey-"

She grabbed his hand and Lance went stiff. Their eyes both glowed purple again.

"You will ignore Lotor," she commanded.

"Ignore Lotor...." Lance echoed.

"Now, go back to sleep,"

"Sleep...."

Lance walked over to his bed and passed out again.

...

"Hello Lance," Lotor greeted Lance as he sat down for breakfast.

Lance said nothing. He didn't even give him eye contact.

"Lance, are you alright?" Zethrid asked.

Lance nodded, staying silent.

"Lance remember what I said, you can always talk to us-"

"I know," Lance said quickly.

"A-Alright..." Lotor looked down at his food.

He wasn't that hungry anymore.
