Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass.
Warnings: AU. and Lelouch harem? Also mentions of 'incest' although I hardly think of Schneizel as being related to Lulu, since they look nothing alike.
Yes, this was indeed inspired by the upcoming movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, however, I will not be following the story of the movie version or the comic version. It's just that the trailer got me all pumped up, and I had to write something :D
I know, I have other stories I should be continuing up on, but I hardly have time to write right now (a.k.a time to myself). As a matter of fact, I'm not even home right now. I'm forced to use my brother's computer, and he doesn't have my beloved Microsoft Works D: (the program I'm use to writing in). Not to mention in a few days I'll be traveling out of the country to the stone age my mother refers to as her hometown. =/
Anyways, I'm sure you guys don't wanna listen to my weirdness, so on with the show~
Suzaku Kururugi sighed and stepped off his red scooter to walk back inside the shop he worked at. He was still getting the hang of everything. It had only been a month since he'd moved to Tokyo from Kyoto, and he had been lucky to land a job so soon. Although when his father told him to get a summer job, Pizza Hut is not what he had in mind.
It was surprising really. He'd never been much of a pizza person, but the short time working at Pizza Hut had really opened his eyes to how many people actually ordered it.
"Geez, working in a fast food place isn't that bad. I don't know what Rivalz was going on about," he murmured to himself as he stepped inside the building. As quickly as he'd opened the door, the scent of freshly baked pizza filled his senses.
Rivalz was Suzaku's best friend. He also warned him about working in a fast food place, since Rivalz himself had been working for a McDonald's in Kyoto for over a year already. Despite his friends warnings, Suzaku had applied to a restaurant. Honestly he liked his new job. Although he'd only been working there for about a week, and it might've been due to the fact that he'd managed to make a friend already. A charismatic blond delivery boy by the name of Gino Weinberg.
Gino was a little silly at times, and he either isn't aware or doesn't care about violating people's personal spaces, but all in all he was a pretty cool guy.
Suzaku walked in through the front entrance, and glanced around the room. There was a surprisingly higher amount of people around today. Not that there normally wasn't. For some reason, the restaurant seemed to be a popular hang out spot for people his age. He spotted a few girls giggling, and talking excitedly about something. He followed their line of sight, and saw the reason for their loud commotion.
Leaning on the counter next to the green haired cashier, was the most beautiful man he'd ever seen. The boy looked to be around his age. He had short black hair, and appeared to be pretty tall. Suzaku walked closer to get a better look. The boy turned around to glance at the group of girls behind him, and Suzaku managed to catch a quick glimpse of his eyes. They were the most beautiful shade of violet. Very rich and vibrant.
The dark haired boy scowled, and straitened himself out. Suzaku barely managed to hear what he was saying, but the boy's deep voice was strangely hypnotic.
"Screw it. I'm not waiting around for the pizza to finish. Have someone deliver it to my house," the boy said sounding annoyed. "It's not for me anyway. I'll just let Euphie pay for the damn thing when it gets there."
"Suit yourself Lelouch," C.C. called back smirking in amusement.
'Lelouch? It's a strange name, but it suits him,' Suzaku mused. 'Lelouch huh? Maybe I should ask him out.'
"Does Gino work today?" Lelouch asked curiously.
"Oh? Should I let him know you're here?" C.C. asked tilting her head slightly.
"Never mind witch. Don't tell him I stopped by. I don't want to risk him ditching work to bother me. I'm sure you guys need the help right now."
"We just got a new guy," C.C. called back monotonously, "but you're right. Gino's pretty helpful. You're safe. He's out on a delivery right now, but he'll probably be back any minute now."
Lelouch nodded, and quickly made his way out.
Suzaku sighed lightly, and walked to the back room to see what the next order would be. Gino was leaning by the door. He smiled at Suzaku, and patted the brunette on the back when he walked in.
"Hey Suzaku, what's up?"
"Oh, nothing. I just got back from a delivery. I take it you did too?"
"Yeah," Gino beamed at his friend.
"Hey, Gino. You're not by any chance dating this dark haired boy named Lelouch are you?" Suzaku asked hopeful that his hunch would be incorrect.
The blond's eyes widened in surprise. His cheerful grin fell into a frown, and he narrowed his eyes at Suzaku suspiciously. "Why would you ask? And how do you know him?" he asked clearly displeased.
'Wow, it was just a question! Maybe I should just drop it.'
"Uhh, I was just curious," the green eyed brunette responded nervously, and scratched the back of his head. "I heard him mention you to C.C. right now, and I was curious. Sorry."
"Oh! He asked for me?" Gino called back cheerful again.
"Yeah, but-"
"Say Suzaku...you're not by any chance interested in Lulu are you?"
Suzaku eyed Gino warily. He didn't really know how to respond to that. He could always tell the truth, but then that might upset his new friend. If Gino really was dating Lelouch it would only cause problems...
"I'm not dating him, but he is really hot isn't he?" Gino responded suddenly. As if reading Suzaku's mind.
"Yeah...but listen, if you're already planning on dating him Gino I can always back off," Suzaku said sadly. He didn't really like the idea of giving up. Sure he didn't really know Lelouch, but the boy already had him captivated. Something about him had drawn Suzaku in as soon as he'd laid his eyes on him. It's not that Suzaku believed in love at first sight, but attraction at first sight...that was very believable.
He was brought out of his thoughts by Gino's laughter.
"Well don't let me ruin your fun Suzaku. You can go ahead and try to woo him, but I'll be nice and warn you right now since you're my friend. You're not his type."
"Eh? Is he straight?" Suzaku asked dismayed.
"Well...he's bisexual, but he prefers guys. Even so Suzaku, you're not his type," Gino shook his head and smiled at the brunette. "We better get back to work or Kallen will kill us."
"Y-yeah..." Suzaku responded unsure.
Gino walked up to Kallen, and after she handed him a few boxes he headed out. Suzaku lingered a bit to think about his predicament. Would it hurt to try to gain the dark haired boy's affection? Suzaku sighed in defeat.
'If I don't ask him out this is going to drive me crazy.'
"Hey Suzaku, your orders are ready," Kallen responded successfully snapping him out of his thoughts.
The red haired girl pulled out a few pizza's and slid a few more into the oven to replace them.
"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with Gino. As much as I hate to say it, you probably should just stay away from Lelouch," Kallen replied softly, and turned to face him.
"Nonsense Kallen. Suzaku definitely has a shot with our dear little Lulu," C.C. called whimsically and strolled up to them.
"But C.C.-"
"Hush Kallen! Just because you didn't have enough courage to ask him out yourself is no reason to stop someone else from doing it."
Kallen flushed in embarrassment. "Shut up C.C.!"
Suzaku's eyes widened at the new information. 'Kallen likes Lelouch too? She's pretty strong too. I don't see her as the type to fear rejection.'
"Oh yeah, that reminds me Suzaku. If you do decide to pursue a relationship with Lelouch, I hope you're talented. Otherwise you don't stand a chance," C.C. stated calmly. Her amber eyes glinted with an emotion Suzaku couldn't quite distinguish.
"Talented? Why?" Suzaku asked bewildered.
'Is Lelouch a scary guy? Maybe that's why Kallen never confessed...'
"Well, our dear little ice prince is quite the looker. I'm sure you've noticed." Suzaku blushed and C.C. continued. "Unfortunately for you, simply getting Lelouch to like you isn't enough. You see, he has these...exes. Six if you want to be exact, and they're a rather colorful bunch. I suppose you can say they're 'evil' too, since they have hurt people in the past just to keep them away from Lulu. Even though they no longer date Lelouch, they still see him as off-limits. In order to have them back off you'll have to defeat them, and prove that you're worthy."
"What the hell? This sounds like something straight out of a comic book."
C.C. smirked. "You've already met one of them Suzaku."
"Really? Who is it?" Suzaku asked truly surprised. 'Just what who was C.C. referring too? Surely it wasn't herself.'
"She's talking about Gino you idiot!" Kallen yelled, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Seriously?"
"Yes! He may be all smiles now Suzaku, but he's probably already informed the other five of your intentions. His exes don't get along with each other, but they group up to crush the dreams of anyone trying to woo Lelouch," she scoffed. "You know he can probably kick your ass if he wanted to right?"
Suzaku gulped nervously, and C.C. laughed lightly at the intimidated brunette.
"Are you still up for it Suzaku?" the green haired girl asked curiously.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I am. I mean...sure it's going to be tough, but I always have loved a good challenge. I may not know Lelouch too well, but the way you guys are speaking of him. I'm sure he's well worth it."
"He is," C.C. stated confidently. "You don't know these guys, but I'm going to go ahead and mention them anyway. The people you'll have to worry about are as follows: Gino Weinberg, Shirley Fennett, Rolo, Li Xingke, Schneizel el Britannia, and Zero. Although none of them will be easy to eliminate, the last two are your biggest competition."
"Huh? Why?"
"They're the White and Black Kings...," Kallen answered quietly.
"Indeed. Those are their nicknames around Ashford University, you'd do best to remember them. Especially if you're going to be attending that school after summers over. We all go there. Except for Rolo. He goes to Ashford Academy. It's the high school nearby."
"Wow, are they really kings?"
"Of course not you idiot! Now listen up, Schneizel's bad, but the one you should really be wary of is Zero. He was Lelouch's favorite until recently. Things got a bit messy with them, and I don't think they'll be getting back together. I know he won't like your sudden interest in Lelouch though," Kallen finished worriedly.
"Let's just say they won't be easily persuaded to give him up without some kind of a fight. Lelouch might still have feelings for Zero, so he'll probably give you the most trouble," C.C. said calmly. She flipped some of her green hair over her shoulder.
"Damn. How am I even suppose to get him to notice me? I'm just your typical average guy working a part time job at Pizza Hut," Suzaku cried in frustration and pulled his black cap off to run his fingers through his curly brown hair.
"God if you're that pathetic don't even try," Kallen hissed.
C.C. snicked. "Don't mind Kallen. She's just angry that she never had a chance. The thought of having to confront his exes scared her off before she even attempted to get into little Lulu's pants.
"What the Hell C.C.?" Kallen yelled angrily. "I just wanted to date the guy!"
Suzaku laughed and watched the two women before him bicker.
"Oh shit, I'm going to be late with my deliveries!" Suzaku cried alarmed, and hastily grabbed the pile Kallen had pushed out for him. He shouted a quick farewell, and ran off to his scooter. Once he had all the pizza's set he scanned the sheet of residences. His eyes immediately zoned in on the name of his current object of affection. Lelouch Lamperouge.
'Wow, this must be my lucky day! Maybe I will get to ask him out after all,' he cheerfully mused.
Meanwhile back in the shop, the two girls were left speechless. After a short while Kallen broke the silence.
"Damn, who know he could run that fast? Hey C.C., do you really think he has a chance?"
The green haired girl laughed mischievously and shook her head. "Of course I don't Kallen. Do you take me for a fool?"
"Then why did you-"
"Give him confidence to try and achieve the impossible? I don't know Kallen. I thought it would be fun to watch him try and fail. It's been awhile since anyone has tried hasn't it?"
"Geez woman. you're positively evil."
"I know right?" C.C. smiled, and turned away to head back to work. It had been a rather entertaining fifteen minute break.
Author's Note: Was this short? Hmm, I wonder if you guys even liked this...
If you did I will continue it later. Probably around the time the movie comes out, so I'll be all pumped up to write more of this again. But hey, that's around the time I'll be returning anyway as I've stated in my profile. I will be continuing my other stories when I get back too, so no worries :) Sorry, I know waiting sucks. :(
I apologize if there's any errors. WordPad is totally lame, since it doesn't help me fix anything. I will rate this T, but it may go up? I'm not sure yet.
Side Note: Oh geez x.x I just re-looked this over. I'm not pleased with the way this came out, but I will try my best to write better next time.
Review if you have time~
Thank you for reading! :D
