Hey, everyone! This is a collection of Suzaku x Euphie oneshots. This first one is based off a prompt I saw on Tumblr. The prompt was "Apparently people around here think we're dating". Enjoy!

Title: Rumors


"What?!" Suzaku asked shocked. He stared at Milly and Rivalz's intrigued faces. They had him pinned up against the wall, questioning him and eagerly awaiting his response.

"Well, is it true or not?" Rivalz asked.

"You have to tell us, Suzaku! President's orders!" Milly interjected happily.

Shirley walked up behind them. "Come on, you guys. We shouldn't bother him. It's his business." She added.

Milly turned to her and questioned, "Aren't you curious too?"

"Well, a little." Shirley replied as she joined in beside them.

They all stared at the trapped Suzaku. He felt their states burn into him, so he finally replied, "No. I'm not dating Princess Euphemia. I'm just her knight. It's really nothing more."

They all gave him a disappointed look. He couldn't help but laugh at their expressions.

"Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were hoping for." He said.

Rivalz threw his arm around Suzaku's neck and replied, "I guess we shouldn't believe every rumor we hear."

Milly and Shirley nodded in agreement. "Of course, I think you two would make a cute couple!" Milly stated.

Suzaku felt his face get hot. "I-I don't know about that." He replied.

"Don't embarrass him, Ms. President." Shirley said. "I'm sorry, Suzaku. We'll let you go now."

"It's alright. I'll see you all later." Suzaku said as he grabbed his bag and ran off.

"Are you okay, Suzaku?" Cecile asked as he exited the Lancelot. "You seem distracted today."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Cecile. I was just thinking about something that happened earlier at school." He replied. He could barely focus when running tests on the Lancelot because all he could think about was the rumor that Euphie and him were dating. Did everyone at Ashford think that? Did other people think that too? He hated that people were spreading rumors about Euphie because of him. He didn't want to cause her any trouble.

"Would you like to talk about it?" She asked as they sat down. She could tell whatever it was was really bothering him.

He sighed and took a drink of water. "Well...there is a rumor going around Ashford that Princess Euphemia and I are dating. I don't want to cause her any trouble. Rumors like that could hurt her reputation." He replied.

"Oh." Cecile began. She looked down, debating about whether to tell him. "Um...it's not just at the school. I may have heard something like that too."

Suzaku look at her, surprised. "Really?! What are they saying?"

"Well..." Cecile hesitated.

"They're saying Princess Euphemia chose you to be her knight because you two are "romantically" involved." Lloyd stated as he walked up the stairs to where Cecile and Suzaku were sitting.

Suzaku felt his face heat up again. "We're not- It's not- I'm not-" He stuttered.

"Don't worry about what those people say. They're not important." Lloyd reassured him.

About that time, the door opened and a sweet voice shouted, "Suzaku!"

He turned and looked down to see Euphie walking towards them. She waved at him, and he waved back and ran down to meet her. He bowed as he greeted her. "Good afternoon, Princess Euphemia."

She giggled. "You can call me Euphie." She whispered.

"Um, I don't think I should." He replied. He knew that if anyone heard that they really would think something was going on.

She looked at him confused. "What's wrong, Suzaku?" She leaned closer to him, and he stumbled back.

"I'm fine, Princess Euphemia." He lied.

Euphie put her hand on her hips and glared at him. Her violet eyes pierced straight through his lie. "What's wrong? You better tell me."

He rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed. "Well, apparently people around here think we're dating. Actually people around here and at Ashford and who knows where else." He stated. "I don't know who started the rumor, but I'm very sorry. I'd hate to cause you any trouble, Princess."

Euphie just stared at him for a moment. He figured she was trying to come up with something to say to such shocking news. Instead, she just smiled.

"That's what you're worried about?" She asked. He nodded. "Don't worry about those silly rumors. Besides, this is one of the nicer rumors about me." She said giggling.

He saw the soft look on her face, and as he heard her infectious laugh, he began to laugh too.
