You and your best friend Shirley Fenette are having a sleepover at your house. After eating way too many marshmallows and watching a lot of television, you decide it's time to go to bed. You have an enormous house, and so you could easily fit two single beds next to each other in your bedroom. The room below you is the downstairs bathroom, and the room above you is the spare bedroom, where your other two friends Lelouch Lamperouge, and Suzaku Kururugi are sleeping.

Climbing into bed, you look over at Shirley, who is jumping up and down with excitement. Barely suppressing a grin, you elbow her in the ribs and say;

"I really hope this works!"

"Oh me too, me too!" she replies, almost squealing with anticipation. "They are so perfect for each other!"

"When did you figure that out?!" you chuckle, lying down on your pillows. "You were head-over-heels in love with Lelouch not two weeks ago!"

"Oh shut up!" Shirley laughs, settling herself down too and staring at the ceiling. "I only want Lulu to be happy, and even if he can't be happy with me then I still want that. And I think Suzaku would make him happy. So there!"

"Ok!" you laugh, listening intently. Suddenly you hear the door open upstairs.

"I think that's Suzaku coming in from the bathroom!" Shirley squeaks, clutching her blankets. "Don't talk anymore so we can hear what they're saying!"

A moment of excited silence falls, before muffled voices sound above you.

"Suzaku," Lelouch groans. "It's too bright, will you close the door?"

"Oh sorry," Suzaku says, and you hear him closing the bathroom door behind him.

"Geez Suzaku," Lelouch says, sitting up in bed. "You could have at least worn more than a towel."

You and Shirley look at each other, ecstatic!

"Sorry Lelouch!" Suzaku laughs, sitting down on a bed. You hear the springs creak, but you're not sure if he's sitting on Lelouch's bed or his own.

"Do you have to sit there?" Lelouch groans again. "You're making my bed sink."

"Good lord Lelouch, move then! I only need a minute,"

You hear movement upstairs and assume Lelouch gave in and got off the bed.

"Hang on Suzaku, you've left your clothes over here,"

Judging by the footsteps you can hear, you know Lelouch has moved over to the corner of the room.

"Woops!" Suzaku says, getting off the bed himself. "Coming, hang on."

Suddenly, you hear a bang upstairs and a muffled gasp of shock. A second later, you hear Lelouch's voice. He sounds startled.

"Suzaku! What the hell?!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think you'd protest this much," Suzaku says, you can sense a smirk on his face. "Anyway, I thought you liked me."

"How did you...?!" Lelouch exclaims, sounding embarrassed.

"You don't have to be ashamed," Suzaku replies, an understanding tone to his voice. "There's nothing wrong with it. I'm the same, I really like you Lelouch."

"Well... you could just have said it, instead of jumping on me and kissing me," Lelouch mutters, trying to sound like it bothered him but making a bad job of it.

You and Shirley are too excited to breathe. Your plan is working!

"Nobody expects a soldier to be nervous about things, but did it never strike you that I was afraid you'd turn me down if I just came out and said it to your face?" Suzaku said, emotion pouring into his voice. "I have been hoping and dreaming for this moment for the last nine months Lelouch. Nine, long months I've waited for you. Are you going to turn me away?"

"No of course not," Lelouch says, sounding apologetic. "I'm sorry I made you wait Suzaku. Forgive me."

Footfalls sound again, softer this time, and then a soft "Oh!".
