Notes: Okay, this is a bit of something different.

Reversedhymnal (on LJ) and I decided to just kind of drabble back and forth and it turned into this huge AU for ourselves. It's Suzaku/Euphie/Lelouch, mixed up in any order with some added C.C. and angst and cute every so often, also, very, very AU. SPOILER alert, because it's spoilers for the whole arc with Euphemia and the Admin. Zone of Japan. It's set in a universe where in R1, instead of what happened with Lelouch and Euphemia happening, Lelouch/Zero accepted her proposal and eventually the three of them (Suzaku/Euphie/Lelouch) ended up together.

So, yeah. Ta-da~ We hope you enjoy. I'll mark each chapter as it's updated, with who wrote it. :) Also note that this is a series of drabbles, some connected, some not, some just for fun and lulz. There's like...18 so far.

"...This is a stupid tradition," Suzaku protested, balking at the door and frowning a little bit as Euphemia tugged at his hand a bit, that tiny smile still on her face while they stood there. "E...Euhpie, really I don't need--"

And then she pouted. Just a little at first, a subtle twitch of her lower lip, giving him those mournful eyes that Lelouch complained so often about, and he knew that she had won. "...C'mon, for us?" Euphemia asked, taking both of his hands with hers, and kissing his palms gently, lower lip trembling again, eyes wide and innocent. "Pl~ea~se?"

"You know you've won, Euphie," Suzaku sighed, letting her drag him into the room, practically bouncing with joy while he followed, feeling like an animal being led to the slaughter, more or less. "....You didn't mention he was going to do it."

Lelouch gave him a raised eyebrow, holding the little needle gun. "What? Why does it matter? I pierced Euphie's ears when we were younger," he said, motioning to the leather chair sitting there beside him, lips quirking up a bit as Suzaku gave them a sour look and sat, arms crossed. "...Are you afraid, Suzaku?" he purred, smirking wickedly, not surprised when Suzaku gave him an affronted look, and Euphemia giggled, stroking Suzaku's hair.

"It doesn't hurt, don't worry!" she murmured, kissing his cheek. "Besides. Gino has the piercing, too. You've been a Knight for a year, it's only right you have something near-permanent to show for it."

Lelouch was quiet, just preparing the device, cleaning off Suzaku's ear gently and pressing the small gun to it. "Ready? I'll count to three."

Nodding silently, Suzaku was deathly-still, waiting for the count-down, not quite sure why he was so tense- he'd been stabbed-- why was he so worried about a tiny piercing?

"Three....t-" And Lelouch snapped it, snickering at the way Suzaku jumped after it was done, startled, and Euphemia just laughed, hugging the Knight close. "There, you child. Euphie put up less of a fuss than you did, and she was just fourteen."

Bringing a hand up to touch the warmed skin of his ear, and feeling cool metal there as well, Suzaku sent Lelouch a frown and allowed Euphemia to kiss him again, smiling a little bit at her happy little wiggle.
