You had never really seen a sight like this before, at least not in person. Growing up in a small town has its advantages and disadvantages. If you were back in (hometown) you wouldn't have imagined ever seeing something like this. The moment felt truly magical to you and you smiled with delight. Lotor noticed, knowing you would like it, and pulled you closer. You had blushed instantly, but you should have known better to expect this kind of behavior to come from him.
"So. . .how does the view hold up?" He asks as he moves you to stand in front of him. Allowing him to wrap his arms around your waist from behind. Tingles were sent up and down your body and you had felt his heart beat thump rhythmically to yours, against your back.
"I-it's gorgeous. You're lucky to have a view like this outside your house." You commented, stuttering on your first word but made sure to sound confident as Lotor began swaying with you.
"Mm~ That's good to hear." As much as you liked this, whatever it was, you began to grow a bit nervous for what was to come next. Certainly, this wasn't the only reason Lotor had brought you to his house. There was no doubt in your mind. You knew you could be oblivious at times, but you thankfully possessed common sense. So. . .you had to ask.
"Lotor, why else did you bring me over?" You asked, trying to sound innocent.
"To talk." He answered quickly. You cocked an eye brow, unsure of his answer.
"Really?" You asked with a tinge of disbelief lacing your vocals.
"I'm being serious, (Y/n). While I admit, I would like to do this all day, I really need to speak with you." His voice sounded so, concerned and worried for a split second through that serious demeanor of his.
"Okay." You replied back, confiding with his wishes. You heard a sound of gratefulness come from him and he had began pulling you down towards the ground with him to sit and have a chat.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" You still had your back facing him as you sat down between his legs, still feeling his heart beat on your back. And his arms still held its position on your waist, however, his hold on you seemed to tighten a little bit.
"That kid, what's his name—? Lance. . .is he going to be a problem?" Lotor questioned, making your heart race.
"I. . .I really don't know. But I'll make sure to speak with him the first chance I get." Lotor simply hummed at your response and rested his chin on your shoulder.
"I hope so. If you can't get a handle on it, I'll be sure to deal with it myself." Whoa! What did he just say? You shook your head slightly, as a response and to make sure you were hearing him right.
"W-what does it even matter if he knows?" You asked.
"If he knows then everybody will eventually know. From his friends, to everyone at the Academy, to even Zarkon and his men. And I'm sure that your friends wouldn't approve of me. . .listen, all I'm trying to do is to make sure you don't get hurt because of me. Can't you see that?" He questioned. Of course, you knew he was, and his reasoning for his concern was more rational than you had expected it to be. To put it simply, you understood why he would be worried about something like this.
"Yes. . .I understand." You smiled, then turned your head around to face him. He smiled back, sweetly and placed his forehead on yours. You sucked in a quiet breath as he did, thankfully, at least to your knowledge, he didn't notice it. But it didn't take you long to get used to this. It was comforting in way you couldn't describe, just like the kiss, and the atmosphere around the two of you felt warm.
"Lotor?" You called for him and he only hummed.
"Are you serious about all the gang activity suddenly going down? I mean—what does that even mean?" The moment between you two was slightly spoiled because of your question. He pulled away from you a bit to look you straight in the eye.
"Yes, I'm not lying about that. And for what it means? I have no clue, but it's nothing good." He says bitterly, making your whole exterior sadden.
"Don't worry about it though. As long as you're safe, we should have no problems." He commented to try and make you feel better, but that made you wonder. What about him? What if he ever got into trouble with them unexpectedly? You wouldn't be there to help, you wouldn't even know. This made you worry, and Lotor could tell just by the look on your face that you were worried. So, he placed his forehead back onto yours in a way to calm you down. You smiled. You wanted to stay like this forever, but you had to get home. If not, you'd most likely be in serious trouble.
"Lotor, I have to go home." He groaned, signaling that he was annoyed and you only chuckled at his childish behavior.
"Lotor, seriously. I'm sure we'll see each other again soon." You say through your laugh and he finally opens his eyes and obliges.
"Okay, love." He says as he helps you get on your feet. Once you were, one of your hands was wrapped around his as you leaned into his arm for comfort. You stayed like that for the rest of your walk until you eventually made it home again.
"(Y/n)? We're here." Lotor said softly to you. You had your eyes closed this whole time, causing you to become very sleepy. You groaned and groggily opened your eyes once you heard your name. There were no cars parked in the front of the house yet, so that was good.
"Thank you." You say as you rub your eye and begin to let go of his hand. But before you could do so fully, he had pulled you close, the two of you practically a quarter inch away from each other.
"I'll see you again soon, love." He said which made your cheeks burn and your lips curve upward. He chuckled, then leaned down to kiss you again. This whole time he had been holding himself back, his yearning for another kiss from you practically clawed away at his mind for every second he spent alone with you. And as soon as your lips touched, he was more than satisfied. This kiss was quicker than the last, but still just as electrifying. And once you pulled away, Lotor had felt a short circuit spark inside his body.
"Later~" You say with a dreamy look in your eye as you turn around to get inside of your house.
