CHAPTER II
Once inside his house, Lelouch went to his room after greeting Nunnally. When he arrived though, the stench of pizza greeted him. "You're early." said C.C.
"Damn you witch! I don't have time for you right now!" He hissed.
"Hmmm... So you have a date with Kallen then? Very amusing. Who would have thought that you had the hots for your Q1. Is that the reason why you made her your Queen?" she mused, mainly to herself.
Lelouch blushed at what she said. "Shut up! The reason why she is my Q1 is because she is the best pilot in the Black Knights!" he shouted. C.C. Didn't answer but smirked at him. He ignored her and went to his wardrobe and pulled a simple dress shirt. He was about to put it on when his phone rang.
"Yes, Hello?"
"Lelouch. It's me, Kallen. Madam Prez called and told me that we were going to have a dinner in a fancy restaurant so we should be in formal clothes." Kallen's voice rang out.
"Wait,- Does that mean I have to be in a tux and you in a gown?" he asked immediately.
On the other end, Kallen kept on turning red even more from what the boy said. Not only was she the one to call him, he was even her date. 'UGGGHHH! This is why I hate Britannians! They think they're so good to order people around!' she thought. She snapped back to reality.
"AH, Hai. " she replied meekly,trying to get the Kallen Stadfeld to resurface.
"Oh. Alright then. I'll see later." and with that he hung up.
"Matte- " she closed her phone and threw on the bed. "Damn him! I'm the one who should be hanging up on him, not ME!" she said, while rummaging through her closet to find a decent dress. Unfortunately for her, she only had one dress. The dress she hated most of all.
"Ah, shit." she muttered then then threw her dress on the bed as well. After that, she went to the bathroom which was connected to her room and showered.
/O/
After hanging up on Kallen, Lelouch rushed to the bathroom as well and took a shower. He tried on the shirt he took from his wardrobe. "Will this do?" he asked himself loudly, then shook his head."No, of course not."
He went back to his bedroom and rummaged some more until he found a lavender-colored, button up shirt. He put it on and then rummaged some more and took a white over-jacket, line with black on the edges that reached to his legs and hugged his figure perfectly and went to his closet yet again. He found some dull white pants and a necktie and lastly, put on a black gloves, black socks and black Italian shoes. He went back to the bathroom and stared at his figure.
"Not bad." He commented on himself. He went back to his room and looked at his watch. 7:15 pm. Just enough time to go to Kallen's house and pick her up.
He left the room and said goodbye to Nunnally, telling her he had a date with Kallen and would be coming home late so she shouldn't wait for him.
"Are you Kallen's boyfriend now, brother?" she asked. Lelouch blushed at her sister's innocent question. He didn't answer her question and kissed her before he took the keys of his black convertible and left.
/O/
Kallen was already doing her make up when Lelouch arrived. He was directed to Kallen's room by one of the maids and was left there. He knocked at the door and said. "Kallen, it's me Lelouch."
"Come in. The door's open." came the reply from the other side.
Lelouch opened the door and saw Kallen sitting at her dresser applying her make up. Lelouch went wide eyed at what she was wearing. She was clad in a sleeveless dark purple dress that ended between her thighs. It had a circle-shaped gold between her breast. It had 2 single lines that went over her chest and ended on the sides of her skirt. It was the same on the back but it had laces that crisscross together on her back. Lelouch peered more closely at her back and saw she was wearing lacy black bras. 'She wears lacy underwear? NHw the heck can she fight with that?' he thought. On her arms were sleeves that reached her wrists.
"You can sit on the bed if you want."Said Kallen, busy doing her make up. Instead of sitting on the bed, he strode over to Kallen and knelt. "The straps are loose." He commented. Kallen blushed and said,
"Can you redo them for me?"
"Yeah, sure."
After he fumbled with it, he sat on Kallen's dresser and tilted her head. Kallen blushed and tried to look away but Lelouch had a firm grip on her. "What are you doing?" she asked.
Lelouch was silent for a while and then said, "Remove that make up on. It's too dark." Kallen complied without really knowing why. After she had done that, Lelouch took out her powder and put some on her face. "What are you doing?"
"You shouldn't put dark make up on your face. It doesn't look good on you." He said, putting down the powder and took out the blush on.
"What are you now? A make up artist?" she jousted.
"Not really."
"How the heck do you even know these things?"
"My mom used to let me watch her while doing all of my half siblings' make up. She said I had to learn how to show a person's real beauty, make it a boy or a girl." he said absently.
"Oh." she felt dumb all of a sudden. This was the first time Lelouch talked about his family except for Nunnally. Kallen felt she had invaded some private part of Lelouch's life so she fell silent.
After doing her make up, Lelouch brushed her hair in gently.
'Why the heck is his hands so soft?' Kallen thought.
"There. All set."
Kallen rose from her seat and looked at the mirror. "Wow!"
"Let's go. They might already be there." Lelouch said.
They left the House and drove in silence until they came to the restaurant where they were to meet Milly and Rivalz.
"Here goes nothing." she said.
Lelouch chuckled and opened the door to Kallen.
