His Actions
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass. If I did, I would have ended the show with Lelouch knocking on Kallen's doorstep.
Oh wow. It's been so long guys. I am so sorry that it has taken so long for me to write again.
The main reason I am writing again, though, is because of you guys. I was reading through the reviews that you had posted and I felt inspired to write, because I really appreciate all the support that you guys have given me!
Without further ado, here's the rewrite of His Actions.
Please, enjoy.
Prologue
"Kallen, behave," a red headed man gently said to a little girl. The girl's hair held a similar shade of crimson. She was most likely the man's daughter.
"I can't help it father, I've never been to a party before," the young Kallen said giddily. She was dressed in a frilly red child dress. She was about six years old now.
"Remember, this is a party for a member of the royal family," Kallen's father said, "you must remain respectful and reserved."
"Okay," Kallen mumbled softly, her previous excitement deflated. Her father then returned to the party crowd, soon blending in with the schmoozing nobility.
Eventually, the excitement returned as Kallen glanced around the ballroom, enamored by the glamorous atmosphere. The Britannian elite, dressed gallantly, paraded themselves to each other. To the young Kallen, it was a fantasy come to life. So, she still could not understand why her older brother would refuse to come.
"Hello," a voice said behind Kallen. She turned to find a boy that looked around her age.
"Hi," Kallen said back, studying the boy's dress. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, touched up with a black bowtie, matching the boy's ebony hair.
"My name is Lelouch," the boy replied.
"And this is Jeremiah," he then said, referring to the blue haired bodyguard behind him. Jeremiah gave the crimson haired girl a curt nod.
"I'm Kallen," the girl replied.
"I'm so glad someone around my age is here!" Lelouch said with a smile. Kallen blushed shyly. She had never really talked to boys save for her brother.
"Where are you from? Are you here with family?" Lelouch asked quickly¸ overwhelming Kallen. Jeremiah cut the boy off by clearing his throat.
"Your highness, that is hardly the way to approach a young lady," Jeremiah stated, rather reproachfully.
"It's not?" Lelouch asked with a confused tone.
"Please, excuse his highness. He isn't used to girls beyond his family," Jeremiah stated quite seriously.
"Jeremiah!" Lelouch said, embarrassed. The bodyguard merely sneered at the young prince. Kallen giggled at the spectacle.
"Ugh, can we just start over?" Lelouch asked, groaning. Kallen nodded with a smile.
"Okay. Hi, my name is Lelouch vi Britannia," Lelouch said, offering a handshake.
Britannia?
"You're a prince?!" Kallen exclaimed with surprise and wonder. She then curtsied.
"Your highness."
Kallen's father had always told her father to do this when meeting a member of the royal family.
"Yeah…" Lelouch replied, "please, don't do that."
"Why, did I do something wrong?" Kallen asked, scared that she had made a mistake.
"No, but don't you want to be my friend?" Lelouch asked.
"Yes?" Kallen replied hesitantly.
"Well then," Lelouch said as he offered a handshake once again. Kallen took it.
"Hi, my name is Kallen Stadfeld," Kallen said, smiling.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present her majesty and her highness, Marianne vi Britannia and Nunnally vi Britannia!"
A well-dressed young girl with sandy brown hair walked down a grand staircase, escorted by a woman with light black hair.
The party crowd watched on, applauding. When Nunnally and Marianne reached the ballroom floor, they were met with numerous guests. However soon after, a slow dance song started and the crowd began to group into couples and began to waltz.
"Your highness, I advise you to ask Lady Stadfeld to dance," Jeremiah advised Lelouch. The boy's expression seemed to say that he didn't want to. Jeremiah gave him an unfazed stare, expecting the young prince to do it.
"Okay, okay! I'm going," Lelouch said, finally giving up. Jeremiah, once again, sneered as he saw the prince walk up to the red headed girl, blushing furiously. Jeremiah then began struggling to stifle his laughter, as the boy slowly got up the guts to ask the confused girl. The body guard nodded with a proud grin as Lelouch finally asked Kallen to dance, causing her face to blush beet red.
The girl offered Lelouch her hand, and he took it.
"He's growing up so fast, isn't he Jeremiah?" a voice said nostalgically. Jeremiah turned to find his colleague, Andrew. The blond Britannian man was dressed in the same uniform as Jeremiah.
"Yes, he is," Jeremiah agreed, feeling just as nostalgic.
Surprisingly, or rather unsurprisingly, Kallen and Lelouch knew how to waltz. Being Britannian elite, they had been brought up with such skills as dancing.
"Lelouch, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Kallen suddenly asked as they continued to waltz.
"Why?" Lelouch asked, surprised by the question.
"I don't know…" Kallen said quietly.
"Well, my brother is starting to talk about what he plans on doing in the future more and more nowadays, and I was just wondering if it was normal for boys to do that," Kallen explained with a rather lost expression.
"I suppose," Lelouch replied thoughtfully. What did he want to do? He was a Britannian prince, it was expected of him to join the ranks of the military and build a reputation like his elder brother, Schneizel.
However, did he want that? Did he want to deal with the dynamics of the royal family and strive to ascend the throne?
"I don't know what I want to do," Lelouch finally said. Kallen's mouth curled into a small smile.
"I'm glad I'm not the only one," Kallen said happily. This caused Lelouch to smile in turn.
"Will you tell me when you find out?" Kallen then asked.
"I guess," Lelouch replied, not really seeing any harms.
"Do you promise?" Kallen asked.
"I promise if you promise to do the same," Lelouch replied. The red head agreed, holding up her right pinky finger.
"I pinky promise," Kallen said with a rather childish expression. Lelouch chuckled at the sight, causing Kallen to blush.
"What?" Kallen asked, feeling embarrassed. Lelouch stifled his laugh and wrapped his pinky around Kallen's.
"I pinky promise," Lelouch said, smiling.
Welcome back! I really do hope that you enjoyed this prologue.
I'm trying something new this time: polls.
I want to know where you guys want this story to go! So here's this chapter's polls.
1. Make this story an exclusive Kalulu (Which is the only thing I've really ever done).
2. Make this a harem because Lelouch deserves to be a pimp (That doesn't sound egotistical, right?).
So please vote. Warning: votes may not decide the ultimate result. It's just a way for me to see what you guys want!
Oh yeah, the next chapter is ready! I just want to see some polls to change tidy some things up!
Please Review!
