A.N. Hey! So, I've been a bad author as of late, and have not posted ANYTHING. Terrible, I know. But, to make up for it, I bring you this new collection of seasonal one-shots, starting with a Valentine's Day fic! It is Suzalulu. I ship it. It is canon. Just listen to Code Geass Sound Episode 6. Bam.
This was inspired by a neighbor of mine, who gave me a Valentine containing those little hearts with sweet nothings on it. She's, like, seven, and she's giving them out to everyone.
Disclaimer: Code Geass will never be mine TT^TT
Trail of Sweethearts
Lelouch had had enough of Valentine's Day, and it was only 2nd period. He was already drowning in chocolates and sweets, but he was in the most sour mood. 'Stupidest holiday. Right up there with April Fools Day.'
He made it through class and was finally in 3rd period. All the girls in this class had already given him something, so he had no reason to fear; Lelouch decided he would sleep.
He slept.
And slept.
And slept.
And when he woke he-
NO. HE DID NOT AWAKEN TO A FAIRYTALE. NOR DID HE WAIT FOR PRINCE CHARMING TO KISS HIM AWAKE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THAT WORKS.
Ahem.
And when he woke, he was met with the sight of a tiny, pale yellow heart in front of him, laid out on a napkin (whoever this was thought of everything), with the words 'HUG ME' written in it in purple. Lelouch lifted his head and looked about the classroom, but everyone was gone. Shrugging, he popped the candy into his mouth, surprised at how much he enjoyed the taste.
It continued on like this for the rest of the day (the classes were cut short because of some festival Milly had planned, so lunch was after all the classes), Lelouch finding hearts with more sappy phrases, 'I LOVE YOU' and 'BE MINE' among them. Then lunch came, and Lelouch escaped the countless of girls asking him to be their Valentine in favor of eating on the roof, where he was yet again surprised by a small pile of those heart-shaped candies. 'Am I being stalked?'
(Ha, yes, Lulu, you are. By countless fan-girls. But none of those girls are behind this.)
Regardless of his inhibitions, he ate the candy with his lunch. They were still surprisingly good.
Then the festival came, and he knew, just KNEW, Milly had it out for him. Each student council member had a set of tickets assigned to them. If you had their ticket, you get an hour long date with them. Alone. Wherever you wanted to, on the school grounds of course.
Lelouch lost count of how many times he went on the damned Ferris Wheel [of Doom].
The waves of girls finally left, and Lelouch sat exhausted on a bench. Someone sat next to him, and lo and behold, it was Suzaku, the first half of my OPT.
"Hey, Lelouch. You're not looking so good." Suzaku looked at him worriedly, his voice laced with concern
"Thanks."
"Hmm... Want some candy?" Lelouch looked up, ready to tell the idiot that was his best friend that THE LAST THING HE NEEDED WAS CANDY and-
Then he saw the candy Suzaku was offering him.
He knew that shape.
Those pastel colors.
The cheesy sayings.
In Suzaku's hand, were those heart-shaped candies that he had been receiving all day.
Eyes wide, he looked into Suzaku's. And smiled. Taking some, he popped on into his mouth, and shoved one into Suzaku's.
"I shall take you up on that offer."
Suzaku grinned. He may not be seen as clever, but he thought his plan worked pretty darn well.
Hands clasped together, the two boys sat on the bench, just a little closer than was proper for two best friends. But it's not like anyone would comment on it, no one was watching...
Milly certainly wasn't complaining when Suzaku dared to peck her darling Lulu on the lips, or when Lelouch turned beet red, or even when they just sat there, dark and light, blending so perfectly.
"Happy Valentine's Day." Three people whispered. Two were together and one was walking away, knowing her grand scheme had turned out perfectly for her favorite yaoi couple.
Fin.
