Season 5 spoilers ahead!!!
Comments are always appriciated, small or big ones ^w^

„With Lotor on the ship we’ll need someone to guard him.“ Shiro crossed his arms. He was not happy to have Lotor on board, even if it was in a cell to keep him from running around. “Even if we lock him up, I would like to have a constant eye on him for safety.”
“That’s not a bad idea. I don’t trust him either.” Allura agreed that they had to keep an eye on the Galra prince.
“But how are we gonna do that?” Hunk asked. “We all have a lot to do, you know, being Voltron and all that.”
“(Y/N) I think it’s best if you take that role.” Allura turned to you. Shocked you stepped back.
“Me? But… but I have enough to do writing down all our logs and how the missions went.” It was one of the only tasks you were able to do at the moment to help the others. You were not one of the Paladins and your Altean was not good enough to help Coran out with managing the castle. It was just one job but it took up most of your time during the day, since the logs had to be as detailed as possible.
“I’m afraid at the moment there is no other choice. I’ll see if we can get someone from the rebels to be a guard but until then you’ll have to do. You do have combat training so you could defend yourself if you had to. We will install a desk in front of the cell and then you can still do your work while keeping an eye on Lotor.” Allura gave you a gentle smile. It was to supposed calm you down but sadly it did not do the job.
Hours later you, Allura and Shiro were standing before the cell. Your comrades had placed a desk near the cell and you were bringing down the work that had been piling up. Lotor watched the whole process without saying anything. He only started to talk as you guys finished up.
“Am I getting a desk to work at? Or why did you bring this stuff down here?” Shiro turned to him to answer.
“No it’s not for you. Since (y/N) will be keeping an eye on you and still needs to get some work done, we decided to move her workspace down here.” Shiro turned to you. “Well then, we’ll go back up. If you need anything just call us, okay?” unable to say anything you just nodded. Shiro patted your shoulder and left the room together with Allura. You didn’t wait long and sat down to get your work done without looking at Lotor.

During the first few hours you were able to get your work done pretty well. Lotor did not disturb you at all. You could only hear his movements from time to time. What you did not notice was that he was eyeing you the whole time.
“What are you writing down?” Lotor suddenly breaking the silence in the room made you jump. You turned to the tall man and made eye contact.
“I’m… I’m writing down different stuff we learned since we met Allura and Coran…”
“What kind of stuff?” Lotor pushed you to keep on talking. Since you were raised to be polite, you kept the conversation up.
“Anything. From different races to animals and plants. I thought it would be good to have it documented if we had to present it back at home.”
“That’s a very good idea.” His praise made your cheeks turn slightly red. None of the others except for Shiro had said it was a good idea so far.
“I myself have kept diaries of the new planets I visited over the years. It helped me understand the nature of the people I had to take care of.” He let his eyes drift out into the distance, most likely remembering something from the past. Suddenly his head spun back in your direction. In his eyes you could see a spark that was certainly not there before.
“Would you like to hear some stories of where I’ve been in the past?”
His question surprised you. Tilting your head to the side a bit you gave it a thought.
“Sure, why not.” You sat down on the floor right before the cell and made yourself comfortable. Lotor did the same and started to talk.

That was the first time you got to know each other.

 
Zarkon was dead. You could hardly believe that the tyrann of the galaxy really just died on the battlefield by the hands of his own son. After the battle you rushed to the medical room where you found Lotor. He was beat up pretty badly but for going against Zarkon you had to say, not as bad as you expected. Coran was just bringing out a medical kit to patch Lotor up as you arrived.
“Oh (y/N)! good timing.” He said and put the kit down again. “Can you make sure Prince Lotors wounds get treated? I need to… check on the castle after the battle.” You nodded as Coran quickly left the room. Understandable as you thought, you were the only one who was fine to be around Lotor. The others didn’t trust him. If it was because he was Galra or just because he was Zarkons son you did not know. You on the other hand had taking a liking in the Prince after seeing how he really was. During the time you spent watching over him the two of you had had countless conversations and you knew who he really was. You took the medical kit into your hands and opened it, taking out everything you would need. Thankfully it seemed like Lotor was not injured very badly. The prince was sitting one of the beds, waiting for you to take care of him. He had freed his upper body from his clothes and was gazing at you with a smile. Blushing, you socked a cloth in warm water to clean his wounds first before treating them.
“I can’t believe you went up against Zarkon alone.” You let the damp cloth glide over his injured arm while talking to him.
“It needed to be done. There would have never been a better chance to go up against him later on. We had to get rid of my father so that peace would finally be able to set in the galaxy. I was prepared to do it a long time ago.”
“Don’t you regret it? In the end he was your father.” you stopped in motion, looking at Lotor. He turned his head to look at you.
“Not at all. I never saw him as my father and he never really saw me as his son. I was just a mistake from his past.” Hearing that made you shiver. Even knowing how Zarkon was, it was sad to hear something like that.
“I don’t know if I would be able to kill my father even if he had done something as bad as yours.”
“As far as I know your father is a kind person, so don’t think too much about it (y/N). OUCH! And watch what you are doing while patching me up.” You had just started to disinfect his wounds and it seemed like the alcohol in the mixture was too strong even for him. You giggled at his pouting face.
“Okay, Okay. I’m sorry that it burns but I do have to disinfect your wounds before finishing up. So get yourself together, this will burn.” You held his arm tightly as you applied the disinfectant to his skin. Lotor hissed as you kept applying the liquid on to the wounds. Some time later you were all done and had wrapped most of the wounds with bandages where it was needed.
“There all done. I’m surprised you did not need more treatment after a battle like that. You really are tougher than I thought.”
“Thank you (y/N).” Lotor inspected your work before looking at you again. “You did very well with the bandages. Now then, I can finally do what I’ve wanted to do since you got here.”  Lotor got and before you could say something he made his move. His arm wrapped around you waist and he pulled your body close to his. Without hesitation he pressed his lips on to your own and kissed you. You were unable to react fast enough since he had taken you by surprise. The whole thing ended, as it seemed to you, as fast as it started. As Lotor pulled away he licked his lips and grinned down at you.
“Well, we will have work on your technic for the future, but it really felt good to finally kiss you.”
Blushing badly you hid your face behind your hands and tried to say something.
“What…Why…???”  You could hear Lotor laugh behind your hands and felt that he tightened his grip around your waist.
“I’ve wanted to do that for some time now. But with my father still around I didn’t want to risk anything. Now that he’s gone, nothing will stop me from showing how I feel about you. But what about you?” He removed your hands from your face with gentle force, looking directly into your eyes. “Will you accept my feelings for you (y/N)?” You were unable to give him a verbal respond as flustered as you were. It seemed like your voice was stuck in your throat. So in the end you just nodded quickly while gazing into his eyes.
“That’s exactly what I wanted as an answer.”

That was when you both confessed to each other.
