A/N:Okay this is kind of my first drabble I guess...
Kallen knocked on the door to Zero's quarters and after waiting for permission entered.
As she entered she noticed something that she had never seen before evidence that the great Zero had been eating before she came in; A bowl of pistachios and next to that a bowl of the discarded shells, seeing this she was surprised at times it seemed like Zero was some sort of god...yet he had just been eating pistachios... 'Without his mask on!' She suddenly thought before mentally smacking herself 'Of course he takes his mask off to eat Kozuki!'
"Zero; Tamaki just got back from the raid... somehow he managed to lose his Knightmare to an errant pistol shot sir." She reported as he gestured to her to sit
After being quiet for a minute due to his frustration "Have a pistachio Kallen, they are quite good" he said gesturing to the bowl.
Kallen grabbed a pistachio at random "Zero, Sir... Tamaki is a friend of mine, and I don't mean to question your judgement, but why is he even sent out on missions? Sir... Tamaki is... incompetent." She said as she struggled with the barely cracked Pistachio finding that she couldn't pry the halves apart no matter how hard she tried.
Zero gestured for her to hand him the nut that she was having trouble with as he grabbed one of the discarded shell halves, as she handed it over embarrassed that she couldn't open it Zero began his explanation "Kallen, sometimes something that everyone else sees as nothing more than trash..." he started as he inserted one end of the discarded pistachio shell before giving it a sharp twist cleanly cracking the shell that had resisted Kallen's every attempt to open it, "Is the key to victory." He said as he handed the nutmeat back to her still in half the shell while discarding the rest.
Kallen marveled at the Pistachio and at Zero's words before excusing herself with a quick word of thanks.
Lelouch smiled bemusedly behind his mask as Kallen retreated to the door thinking about how much she had struggled with that Pistachio shell, and yet; he, the least athletic guy in their class, had easily opened it.
A/N: So yeah the first Drabble I have ever published, I want to know what you thought of it so please review.
