Chapter Text
Lance yawned awake, he'd have to be at work soon in about two hours. He groaned to himself and worked on dragging himself out of his small yet comfortable bed. There were navy walls in his room and glow in the dark stars scattered across the ceiling. He had NASA posters scattered across his walls. Polaroid pictures of Lance's family were found on a corkboard next to his bed, it always made him more comfortable with the pictures near him when he went to sleep. The Cuban boy made it to the bathroom and began to rinse off his night mask, his skin routine was very important.
When Lance left the bathroom he could smell the breakfast burritos his roommate Hunk was making. "Hunk you are a true blessing!" Lance called out to him in thanks and began to dress for the day. He wore a white t-shirt and a average pair of jeans, they're a little tight but it was a great way to show off his ass. For his job they had to wear plain clothes underneath their aprons but those were at the shop.
Lance exited his room to see a dressed Hunk as well as two breakfast burritos. The scent of food was wafting through the air and Lance thanked everything for Hunk's friendship. "Hunk I can never than you enough!" Lance exclaimed and a tan hand reached to grab a burrito.
A small mew broke through and a gray cat pranced her way into the kitchen. She purred and rubbed against Lance's tan leg, "Osi baby!" The boy attached to the leg singsonged to the cat, picking her up, her belly was exposed to Lance as he held her like a infant, "Ocean how's your morning?" Lance asked her and she let out another mew and she was set down. Ocean began to walk to the hallway which led to Lance and Hunk's rooms. There was a window at the end of the hallway which led to fire escape.
Ocean have an agitated mew and Lance got up to follow her. There was a orange tabby on the other side of the window and Lance opened it right away in a panic and gently grabbed the cat. He began to think of where it could have possibly came from and his mind thought or above him. Maybe the cat got out one of the windows upstairs? Lance check his watch and he had about ten minutes before they had to get going, "Hunk I found a cat, I'm going to return it real quick." He called out and gave Ocean a scratch, he was going to get her a tag for her collar soon.
As Lance was young out or the door of his apartment he heard a confused sound of Hunk but he kept going out the door. The tabby was still safely held in Lance's arms as he head up the stairs. He didn't really see the point in going to the elevator when it was only a floor he was climbing.
Lance reached the fourth floor and found the apartment which was above his own. He gave a knock on the door and it quickly opened, there was a pale boy with a mullet infront of him, he wore a red plad shirt with a black undershirt as well as black ripped jeans. His arms were covered in tattoos and there was even one on the side or his neck, "What do you need," He spat, "I'm looking for my... cat. Which you have right there." His grey eyes opened wide as he was surprised to actually see Lance holding his cat. "Can I have Cherry- I mean my cat please. Can I have my cat?" He asked and Lance gave him tabby.
"Try keeping you windows closed this time, I saw them on the fire escape."
"Yup I will." The pale boy said and closed the door on Lance. The Cuban stood there in shock for a moment, that was a pretty attractive guy but he was a jerk. Not even a goodbye? Geez.
Lance went downstairs back to his own apartment and grabbed his keys as well as Hunk and they both went downstairs to exit the building and get in Lance's car. The drive to work wasn't too long so they got there about five minutes before opening.
Pidge, Coran, and Romelle were already there as Lance and Hunk arrived, "Hey guys!" The Cuban greeted and slid behind the counter into the back to grab his cap and apron, Hunk did the same thing.
Coran turned on the 'Open' sign and the LED light came alive. Soon they're be people coming.

"Hunk you should of been there! I give him back his cat, which of whom I saved it's life, and he just slams the door in my face! Without a 'Thank you!'" Lance examined with a huff and handed him a finished black coffee. That's what reminded Lance of the guy from this morning, the coffee was dark just like his soul. "I guess he's rude but I wouldn't wanna be talking to people if my cat nearly died." Hunk said and Lance scowled, "Cold Hunk, cold. Your my best friend, which means you are supposed to take my side not the enemies' side! He had a stupid mullet and these gray eyes, never seen anything like them before." The tan skinned boy continued.
"Are you sure he's your enemy?" Romelle piped in, she was pretty down to Earth and was unoblivious in an oblivious way, "Sounds more like a crush."
Lance's face flushed and was wishing for another order to fill. "I hate him! He's a jerk!" He huffed and crossed his arms.
Romelle turned away from Lance and to an approaching customer, "Hello! Welcome to Voltron: Legendary Coffee! How may I help you today?" She asked, her Britain accent chirpy. "Can I have a cinnamon caramel latte?" The customer asked and Romelle gave a curt nod and grabbed a cup writing the order on it as well as the name and handed the cup to Lance to make.
The Cuban was thankful for a distraction and quickly created the latte as Hunk was making a hot chocolate for a different customer. After the line was gone Romelle turned to both of them again, "So Lance you never denied that he was an attractive jerk." The boy in question quickly turned to his watch and it read 12:18, "Coran I'm going on Lunch break!" He called to the mustached man and quickly rushed to the break room. He grabbed his PB & J from the refrigerator and sat down, taking a bite. Lance wasn't mad at his friends, they're just teasing, be knew that, if he told them to stop they would, he just didn't want to think of his upstairs neighbor, didn't need to.
Hunk popped his head into the break room after a couple minutes and apologized, Lance accepted the apology and told him it was no big deal.
Lance finished his lunch break as soon as Hunk and Romelle on break for a gossip session and he can only guess who it's about.
