I drew this one over a year and a half ago and I'm not sure I'm happy with it yet. XD Anyway, this is my entry for the Patrótita zine on Instagram, an adorable zine that represents galtean Klance as parents. I’m very happy to have had the opportunity to take part in it! 💜💙

my art for @sucrosette 's wonderful "not meet cute" story for the klance mini-bang event! I don't draw very much galtean klance, so this was a treat. Even faced with fierce galra Keith, Lance is like "do not put your pointy stick in my face mullet" xD
the fic is rated explicit for the content of chapt 3 -- so as always MIND THE TAGS!
Ok, after I request the sweet one with Zarkon and his child I just had to request one with Lotor. Except, instead of a story in which his child takes their first steps, they say their first word which I'd like to be some variation of the title of father. I think that be a sweet moment for our prince, especially considering he didn't have a decent father of his own.
❤❤💜💜🖤🖤✨
I'd be happy to. It's so sad how he was treated as a child 😭
________________________________________
Zarkon was ashamed of his son from the moment he came into the world, everyone in the galra empire knew it, and ever since their emperor's change of heart due to the quintessence exposure halfbreeds were seen as weaklings. Lotor was pretty much always with his Dayak ever since he'd been born; one day in particular she needed a couple of days off from her duties because she was becoming stressed, so Zarkon gave her three days off, even if it meant he would have to take care of his disappointment of a son on his own. Perhaps if he hadn't been exposed to the quintessence field he would've actually cared about his son, although he was too corrupt to care about the child he helped make. Before his and Haggar's awakening they'd been looking forward to the birth of their first child, unfortunately their memories of the past were long gone. Taking care of a weak infant wasn't what Zarkon wanted to do, but if he left him with anyone else he knew they would probably kill him and Lotor was the only heir to the galra throne.
Up until that point Zarkon hadn't stepped a foot into the nursery, but at the moment he didn't have a choice. From what he remembered Lotor was at the age where he would soon say his first word; not that it mattered, of course, because he would always hate the child he'd sired. Zarkon didn't exactly trust Haggar to watch over their child because she tended to take things apart in gruesome ways and he couldn't let that happen, even though he often wished that she could make Lotor disappear. As soon as the galran emperor stepped through the nursery door he felt incredibly out of place, he belonged out on the battlefield, not in a nursery. Despite being a seasoned warrior Zarkon still feared the wrath of a governess who was in desperate need of some time to herself, not even he would get in the way of an angry Dayak in fear of being hit with her crop.
"Stop looking at me like that." Zarkon told Lotor with a firm tone, feeling unnerved with the way his son was looking right at him.
Lotor, who was only about ten phoebs old at the time, looked up at his father with pure curiosity; he was too young to understand what was going on, but he still recognized his father. Zarkon looked down at his tiny son once he was standing next to the crib, seemingly having a staring contest with the galtean baby. The strangest thing about Lotor was how his skin was lavender and how white his hair was, the doctor said he somehow ended up with the albino gene which was highly unusual for both galra and alteans. There was technically a small nursery built within galra central command, the only reason Zarkon didn't leave Lotor there was because he didn't want anyone to damage his son more than he already was, plus he knew the other galra parents wouldn't want a halfbreed interacting with their kits. Either way, Zarkon was stuck taking care of Lotor until Dayak was done taking a few days off.
"P-." Lotor said after a few minutes, trying to say his first word but only saying the first letter; he just wanted his father to pay attention to him and not just stare blankly at him.
For the first time since he became a father Zarkon found himself intrigued by Lotor; he was a little curious about what his son was trying to say, so he just stood there and waited to see if Lotor would say anything. He never imagined that he would be around when Lotor said his first word, it was honestly strange to spend any time with his son at all. Deep down, Zarkon had forgotten a part of himself that was still there, albeit deep down where he vaguely remembered it. Long ago Zarkon and Honerva had been looking forward to having a baby, with his busy schedule back then they barely had the time to be intimate with each other and when they found out that they were going to be parents they were happy, it was very unfortunate that their happiness didn't last for very long. Zarkon kept looking at Lotor while he kept trying to say his first word, wondering exactly what he was going to say.
"P-p-p-." Lotor sounded out in confusion, wanting to talk but having a slight problem with actually speaking.
"What are you trying to say, young one?" Zarkon questioned, his voice coming out softer than he originally intended; his original plan was to put his son down for a nap, but apparently Lotor wasn't sleepy, he was more interested in saying his first word for the first time.
"P-p-p-pa-pa-pap-papa!" Lotor squeaked out with excitement, finally figuring out how to say his first word; he wanted to call out to his father and did so by repeating a word he'd heard from a child he had seen while out and about with his Dayak.
Zarkon's pupiless eyes widened a little, completely caught off guard by what his son called him; Lotor's first word was papa, something that he wasn't expecting whatsoever. It didn't fill him with emotion or make him want to become a better father, but he did feel a little proud when his only child called out to him. Zarkon made sure that no one was looking before he gently patted his son's head affectionately, rewarding Lotor for saying his first word. Lotor babbled happily before he sleepily laid down and closed his eyes, happy with the slight affectionate contact from his father. Zarkon decided to sit in the comfortable chair near the crib where he could read something on the holopad he left on it, knowing that Dayak would have words with him if he left Lotor alone while he napped.

(IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SHIPPING PRICES CAN BE FOUND BELOW THE CUT)
While majority of shipping prices will not be too expensive, unfortunately there has still been an increase in international shipping costs.
As a result, shipping internationally may result in a $30 charge, however it will not go above $30 and most shipping will be below. We just wanted to notify everybody that it is possible international shipping may come out to that much
We have a juicy report to make! Juicier than any fruit, ripe for the harvesting!
New bloods in Commander Shiro's squad report that our golden Prince and his obsidian Knight were seen under the shades on the training grounds. Prince Leandro had his arm around our brooding Knight, who smiled! As any resident of the Palace will be able to attest, our beloved dark Knight only ever smiles during training, especially at the expense of Vice Captain Griffin!
Whispers were exchanged, surely. But perhaps more than that were shared? Surely the Prince's lips were deliciously close to our Knight's cheek?
