Turn 03: Pocky
"Typical, on a day off from school when I decide to stay home, there's nothing on to watch."
Euphemia had been lying on her bed with her boyfriend, channel surfing on the flat-screen TV that hung on the wall across from her bed. Seeing that there was nothing to watch, she glanced to her left towards her little boyfriend, who had been leaning against her shoulder. He was currently in his own little world playing a video game on his 3DS.
(A/N: In my universe, I fell like adding things from the real world from time to time. Just feels that it helps spice the story and help it move along.)
She noted that while Lelouch was playing his game, he had been unconsciously eating a weird looking snack from inside a pink box. It was a long thin wafer in the form of a stick that was coated in a sweet smelling pink icing. She watched as he nibbled on the treat slowly until it had disappeared into his mouth, only to replace it with another one. She stared at him in curiosity for a few more moments until finally her curiosity got the better of her.
Shaking his shoulder gently, she called out to him "Lelouch, hey Lelouch…"
Lelouch had currently had his attention glued to his 3DS, as he was finishing the third case of a video game that's had him hooked since it had came out: Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies. He grinned smugly to himself as he watched the criminal in the game break down and collapse following with the trail ending with him getting a 'NOT GUILTY' verdict.
'Another case successfully solved, as Phoenix Wright would say: TAKE THAT!'
"LELOUCH"
The boy jumped snapping his gaze towards his older and slightly irritated girlfriend. Closing his game, he looked back to her "Sorry Euphie, I wasn't really paying attention."
The girl waved her hand dismissively "Its fine, I actually wanted to ask you something."
"Sure what's up?"
"I've noticed while you were playing your game, you were eating a weird looking snack. I just wanted know, exactly…what is that you're eating?"
Lelouch glance down at what Euphie was referring to before smiling and picking up the box to show her "It's called pocky!"
Euphie raised an eyebrow "Pocky?"
The boy nodded "It's a snack that really popular in Japan. Basically what they are is biscuit wafers in the forms of sticks dipped in various icing. The varieties of flavors these can come in are chocolate, banana…"
He shook the box for slight emphasis "…Or my personal favorite: strawberry." Lelouch took another pocky stick and popped it into his mouth and offered the box to his girlfriend "Try one, they're really good."
Euphie blinked for a moment before motioning to take a pocky stick. Only instead of taking one from the box, she took the half-eaten treat from her boyfriend's mouth. Lelouch baulked at seeing Euphie take his half-eaten pocky stick and put it in her mouth. He gave an audible gulp as she ate it slowly, as if savoring the taste with each bite.
Finishing the snack, she licked her lips "You were right, they ARE good. Can I have another one?"
Lelouch nodded dumbly while muttering something about 'eating cutely' as he limply offering the box to his girlfriend. Seeing Euphie pull another stick out to eat, Lelouch snapped his head up as if coming to a realization
"Uh, Euphie hold on a minute." Lelouch called out making the girl freeze "Um…actually there's something I wanna do to you with that pocky."
Euphie, who already had the pocky hanging from her mouth, cocked her head to the side in confusion. The young adolescent blushed heavily at the unintentional cuteness his girlfriend was showing. Scooting a bit closer, Lelouch found himself at the other end of the pocky
"It's simple; you just have to meet me at the middle." He instructed before he started nibbling away at the snack
Euphie was stunned for a second before she complied and started eating away at her end. After a few seconds the couple found themselves at the middle, a piece of the pocky in their way. Euphie mentally pondering what was gonna happened next but Lelouch answered her question by closing the gap between them and bringing Euphie into a brief soft kiss. Euphie was surprised by the action but slowly melted into the kiss, deepening it a bit further.
After a minute, the couple broke apart for oxygen. Lelouch looked away, some remnants of blush still on his face. Euphie brought a hand to her mouth, a light blush forming on her face as well. There was a brief moment of silence before Lelouch spoke up.
"So…what'd you think?"
The pink haired teen grinned as she wrapped her arms around the young boy "I think…I've found my new favorite past time."
-X-
The next school day Euphemia could be seen walking to her next class while eating her new favorite snack. The entire student body could only stare as the Ice Princess strode past them, munching on the Japanese treat with reckless abandon. No one knew where she developed this new addiction to the sweet treat or how long she's even been eating them. And when a few students gathered the courage to ask her, her response was always the same…
"Well, let's just say someone close 'introduced' me to these."
-X-
And Turn 03 is done.
Would've uploaded this last night but right as I finished typing it, the power went off in my apartment and deleted all the contents in the chapter, and unfortunately for me it didn't save like I thought it would. So you could say I was REALLY pissed about that.
Anyways, I had a lot of fun writing this turn. What gave me the idea for this one was that me some of my friends were eating pocky and I gotta say they're really good. Though some of the flavors are a bit weird *Cough*Green Tea*Cough* but hey, to each his own on any flavors that they like. And as I was eating them I was like…hey a new idea.
That little scene with Lelouch playing Dual Destinies, that's my way of showing my love towards the Ace Attorney series. And when I really think about it, this is a game I actually see Lelouch playing on a downtime basis. Think about it, considering the series test your knowledge and deductive skills from time to time, this would be the only non-strategic game that I think Lelouch could show interest in.
As usual I hope you enjoyed the chapter and please be kind to leave a review and check out my other works.
See you next time ^_^
