Lance woke up feeling his body laying on something soft and warm. A nice bed. But he could help but feel like he's been here before...

He gasped sitting up and realized he has been in this bed before!

Lotor.

He felt his head pounding and slowly went back to the bed laying his head against the silky yet soft pillow. He hasn't slept this in ages, comfy, calming, despite for his headache Lance was content. Lance heard the door open and didn't want to open his eyes, the light hurt.

He could smell lavender and jasmine petals as someone walked past him but he knew who it was.

Lotor glanced at Lance seeing him resting but could tell he wasn't sleeping.

"How are you feeling?" Lotor sat on the edge of his bed next to Lance, running a hand through his hair softly making Lance let out a soft sigh.

"What happened?" Lance opened his blue eyes finally.

"What do you remember? I'll try helping from there," Lotor pulled his hand away but kept his stare on Lance.

"Um I remember..." Lance blinked sitting up as hazy memories returned.

Lotor saw lances eyes widen and his hands shake but brought up his hand to touch his jaw and winced feeling bruises decorate his jaw and cheeks.

"O-oh God... D-did he..." Lance choked on his words not daring to finish the sentence but Lotor shook his head.

"No, I promise he did nothing of the sort to you," Lotor caught on what Lance was thinking.

"What happened after?" Lance whispered hugging his chest looking at Lotor.

"I brought you back to my room but you work up in a panic," Lotor rubbed the back of his neck.

Lotor set Lance on the bed gently but jumped away when his eyes snapped open and shoved Lotor away with a fearful scream.

"NO! Please no get off! Stop!" Lance backed away on the bed but Lotor grabbed his wrist before he could fall off of the bed.

"Lance listen to me! Stop! Your fine your not there!" Lotor tried comforting him but felt Lance slap his hand across his face as Lance continued to scream and soon tears crawled down his face.

"Please I can't... Please stop..." Lance sobbed as Lotor let go of him but watched to make sure he wasn't going to hurt himself.

"Blue your going to be okay trust me," Lotor said carefully and Lance shook his head grabbing his hair as more tears ran down his face.

"Shut up shut up please stop!" Lance screamed with his eyes closed and tears drenched his face.

"Stop lying! Stop it stop!" Lance sobbed as Lotor stayed still not wanting to frighten him.

"Lance no ones going to hurt you," Lotor whispered placing his hand on lances arm but it was slapped away.

"¡Cállate! ¡estás mintiendo! todos mienten y todavía me lastimo! ¡solo para!" Lance screamed at him and Lotor frowned.

"Just please no more! I can't do this! I can't stand it anymore! Las malditas mentiras!" He shoved Lotor away with a screaming sob.

He felt his body consumed in body warmth as arms wrapped around him as Lance screamed and wailed barely even awake, while Lotor hushed him with comforting words.

"Your okay Lance, I won't let them hurt you anymore," Lotor whispered as Lance broke into silent sobs as his body shook with every broken sob into Lotors chest while the prince held him tightly.

"I just remember screaming... Was that- was that me screaming?" Lance gasped in horror looking at lotor, his throat was raw.

"I believe it was a night terror," Lotor confirmed and Lance rubbed his face dreading.

"That's embarrassing, I'm sorry for that mess," Lance sighed and Lotor grabbed his chin making Lance look at him.

"Don't apologize for something so inhumane that-that monster of a soldier..." Lotor looked at Lance seriously and a smile appeared on the humans lips.

"You killed him," Lance stated remembering.

"He didn't deserve life,"

"Thank you,"

They looked at each other and Lance felt the need to pull himself closer while Lotors eyes where in a trance with lances lips as a bruise was at the corner of his mouth from the soldiers fingers.

Lance knew this was wrong but anyone could admit Lotor was straight up attractive, evil or not, handsome, hot, sexy, but Lotor wasn't... That evil... He's been kind and gentle with Lance, never hurt him and protected him from those who would. Killed for him. But the mission- fuck the mission. Lance knew this was wrong but it felt right.

But Lotor turned his head away before they could even touch.

"My apologies Lance," Lotor stood up not facing him.

"W-wha-" Lance was confused as to what just happened or was happening.

"I must go," Lotor blushed darkly before Lance could see and exited the room without looking at the human that was on his bed and had an eye brow raised.

"What the fuck."
