Chapter 1: Enlightenment

AN: Summary says it all. Because, just imagine Elliot's epic reaction if he ever found out what we fangirls write about him being a couple with *insert random character here-cough cough Leo* and other wonderful things. XD …This is sort of AU-ish? Since there's no way that Elliot could really discover fanfics about him and the rest of the Pandora Hearts characters online and the book Holy Knight does not exist in real life.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pandora Hearts.

"I can't believe they're giving us even more homework Leo," Elliot grumbled to the noirette walking next to him. The last class for the day had just finished, and he and Leo were heading straight back to their room. Normally when lessons were over, they would head to the library and Elliot would spend the rest of the afternoon reading the latest volume of Holy Knight, or they would go and practice Lacie on one of the school's pianos. Unfortunately, those happy days had just gone flying out of the window, since in addition to their homework load being doubled due to the approaching exams, Lutwidge Academy had also issued laptops to all their students for research for a project. "I mean come on, you're practically a genius Leo, so you'll be fine, but how am I supposed to finish all this and have time to read Holy Knight, right Leo? Leo? Leo! Are you even listening to me at all?"Turning his head to glare at Leo, Elliot gaped and almost lost his grip on the pile of homework he had in his arms when he caught sight of what the noirette was reading.

"Leo! What the heck are you reading?" Elliot's head made an audible cracking noise as he snapped his head back as fast as he could and surveyed the corridor, making sure no one was near enough to see what the noirette was reading.

"What's wrong Elliot?" Leo asked, seemingly unaffected by the noble's outburst.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you? You're reading-you're reading- you're reading PORN for goodness's sake! And the pictures were of two guys-two guys-" Elliot sputtered indignantly, his face burning as he tried desperately to erase the last thirty seconds of his memory.

Don't think about it don't think about it don't think about it don't think about it-

"So what if I am Elliot?" Leo looked up from his book to see the amusing sight of the noble whose face had turned was entirely red from mortification. The noirette's lips quirked up into a slight smirk as he added slyly (with several flowers and some sparkles popping into existence above his head as he said it) "Huh, don't tell me you want to read it as well Elly~ I never knew you were that type~"

If it was even possible, Elliot's face turned redder. Sputtering indignantly, it was a few seconds before he could find his voice to yell at Leo, "NO WAY YOU CREEP! AND DON'T CALL ME ELLY!" cursing inwardly as the noirette seemed even more amused by his actions.

With that Elliot sped on, juggling his laptop awkwardly on the stack of homework he was carrying perilously, thinking only to get away from Leo and his embarrassing questions. Shaking his head, Leo returned to reading his 'book'. Ah, Elliot is such a great target to tease since he gets flustered so easily~

Reaching the safety of his room, Elliot retreated to lying on his bed, deciding to attempt to finish some of his homework before switching on the laptop to make a start on the project. Making a point of ignoring Leo when the noirette entered the room and sat on his usual spot on the floor continuing to read the Ero book from before (Elliot had long ago given up yelling at Leo to clear his bed, which since the day they had arrived here had been covered in books), Elliot instead sweated it out doing the algebra sums that their Maths teacher had given them. Normally when this happened, he would attempt to do it by himself, cursing most of the time and refusing any help from the noirette, until the noirette threatened him to shut up or die if he did not let Leo help him. For the time being however, he could not even look at Leo without the extremely disturbing images from earlier pop into his head.

After spending two hours and only succeeding in doing one pitiful page, (his temper was not improved by the fact that he was sure Leo was smirking at his inability out of the corner of his eye) Elliot gave up and decided to switch on the laptop. As he had never used one before, he briefed through the instruction manual, and feeling like a total idiot, gingerly pressed the power button, waiting for it to boot up. When it had fully loaded, Elliot awkwardly used the mouse to click on the Mozilla Firefox button and remembering that his teacher had said that the website Google was very useful for research, he typed it into the search bar, relaxing slightly when the Google picture appeared. This isn't so bad after all. Now, what was the assignment about again? Oh yeah, I have to research on the history of Italy's crops and their prices from two hundred years ago. Honestly, who cares about what happened two hundred years ago? Elliot's eyes widened as he clicked the enter button, listing 743,239 results for Italy. Clicking on one of the more promising links and after awhile finding what he wanted, he opened up a Word document and saved it. He could edit the project later with Leo.

Huh, that was actually easy for once. And it's only 6pm. That means I'll have enough time to go to the library to read Holy Knight before dinnertime.

Elliot was just about to switch off the laptop when a 'brilliant' idea hit him. Huh, I wonder, if I can research stuff that happened two hundred years ago on Google, can I research when the next book of Holy Knight is going to come out? Since the current book ended on such a cliff hanger with Edwin in such a precarious position…

Elliot hastily typed Holy Knight in the search box, feeling triumphant as 168,594 results for Holy Knight popped up. To his delight, the first link was the official website of Holy Knight. He was just about to click on it when the link below caught his eye. It read:

Well, I finished reading all twenty-one volumes of Holy Knight and I can see why our dear Elly likes it so much. I still like Edgar better than Edwin though. But enough of that, I've uploaded chapter five of my fanfic of Elly and his adorable servant Leo onto ! I made it as long and smutty as I could as well~ The link is located below.

How the heck does this girl (obviously it's a girl since she likes Edgar) know my and Leo's name? Leo? ADORABLE? And what did she mean by smut?

Glancing at Leo who had not moved from his spot on the floor, and feeling slightly apprehensive, Elliot clicked the link, curiosity overpowering the urge to check Holy Knight. The noble wondered who the hell this person was. Were there people stalking him and Leo? Put that aside for now, what was smut anyway? And how come everyone except him preferred Edwin to Edgar? Immediately the words that got his attention were this:

Before Leo could say a word, Elliot kissed him roughly, easily pinning Leo on the bed, using one hand yanking on Leo's hair, while the other one firmly held the noirette in place.

What. The. Hell? Me and Leo K-Ki-KISSING? (Elliot could feel the blood rushing up to his head again.) I-I would never do that to Leo! I don't like him that way! …At least… I've never thought about him like that. Even if I DID, Leo would beat me to a pulp. So, there's absolutely no need to think about it. No need at all. Case closed. And I don't think 'beautiful' is a word that can be used to describe any guy. …But, Leo's eyes are very unique... Facepalming, Elliot sighed, cursing himself. For goodness sake, you would think that your own stupid mind would take sides with you.

Sneaking another glance at Leo and knowing he would regret this, Elliot used the mouse to scroll down the page. It's um… very detailed…I can't believe I'm actually reading this… But seriously what kind of messed up person writes this kind of stuff? This is almost as bad as Leo's Ero...

(Key word: Almost.)

AHEM. No I did not just think that, and I am most definitely NOT getting a nosebleed. Zilch. Nada. Zip.

And then he scrolled down some more.

It took some seconds for the words he was reading to sink into his stupefied brain and then-

Ohmygodohmyfrigginggod arghhhhh-

Leo jerked his head at the noise Elliot made, a sound that sounded like a cross between a choke and a gasp, as the noble jumped off the bed as though he had been electrocuted, staring as Elliot slammed the laptop shut and threw it across the room, where it collided with a bookshelf and dropped to the floor with a loud thud. What the-why the hell did Elliot throw his laptop across the room? And why is his face so red? He looks exactly like he did earlier when he saw me reading Ero…

"Is something wrong, Elliot?" Leo said, raising an eyebrow at the noble's facial expression. …His nose is bleeding..?

"NO! I mean n-nothing's wr-wrong! Nothing at all! I-I-I just remembered I left something very important in the classroom! I have to go and get it now!" Elliot then proceeded to rush out of the room holding a hand to his face which felt like it was flaming, feeling as though everyone (Leo) could see the perverted images that were broadcasting in his mind, leaving a much mystified Leo behind.

AN: I couldn't resist adding in the scene where Leo is reading Ero since that omake is my 2nd favourite Pandora Hearts omake. X3 (First is the one where Elliot smiles as he plays with Ada's cats) I hope you enjoyed reading this first chapter.
