By the way, this fic is actually based after a song, or at least the main idea for the first chapter is.
About three hours into the date...
Kallen let out a heavy sigh as she stood next to the bathroom door, her back up against the wall. From inside she could hear the splashing sounds of puke hitting the surface of the toliet water.
"...Are you gonna be okay?" Kallen asked, and the reply she got was a horrible wretching gag.
Rubbing her eyes, Kallen said, "This is all my fault...I coaxed you into eating that entire pizza pie covered with fried orange slices...it looks like Orange-kun'll need a new gimmick now to make his place seem interesting, WITHOUT making people throw up, even though he didn't mean it..."
Another violent cough and a splash.
"C.C...I'm so sorry. Because of me, now you're throwing up your guts...I didn't mean for this to happen to you...you're mad at me now, aren't you?"
Silence, and then a small voice from within the bathroom mumbled, "It's...it's not your fault, Kallen. Please...don't be so upset with yourself...I had a good time, hanging out with you...I'm not mad..."
A small smile formed on Kallen's lips. "...Thanks, C.C..."
When the doorhandle began to turn, Kallen pushed herself off the wall and turned to face C.C. for when she came out. The sickly green-haired girl looked snow-white pale, and her eyes were red from tearing. Kallen winced at the sight; although it really wasn't anything terribly serious, she still felt bad, despite what C.C. had just told her.
When they walked back around the corner, C.C. and Kallen were immediately confronted by Jeremiah Gottwald A.K.A. Orange-kun, and his pink-haired pig-tailed young daughter, Anya. In truth, Anya was not his real daughter; he and his ex-wife, a woman named Viletta, had adopted her when she was just a child. Unfortunately, a few years back, Viletta had run off with another man known only as 'Ohgi', and poor Jeremiah was left to raise Anya on his own.
"I'm REALLY, REALLY sorry about that!" Jeremiah cried, refering to C.C.'s puking session, "I...I didn't think the whole 'fried orange slices on plain pizza' thing would cause such a reaction...I'm really sorry..."
"It's fine...it's fine..." C.C. grumbled, waving her hand slightly, although she was still clutching her stomach in pain, "I...I haven't been feeling that well lately anyway..."
"I told you it'd make people throw up, dad," Anya chided in a monotone voice, "The same thing happened to you when you tried it...remember?"
Jeremiah gasped. "Oh yeah, that's right! I completely forgot about that! I think I need to rethink my recipes a bit. Ugh...I guess I shouldn't have tried to sell it to the public, then..."
Anya sighed. "God, dad, you are SO stupid sometimes..."
Jeremiah sighed as well. "Yeah...I know..."
'Poor guy...' C.C. thought, 'Still...it IS his fault that I practically threw up my own stomach!'
"Anyway," Kallen spoke up, "Thank you very much for the free pizzas, Mr. Gottwald! They were very good...except for the last one..."
Jeremiah grinned and replied, "Thank you very much! Have a nice night, girls, and be careful on your way home! I hope you feel better too, C.C..."
C.C. let out a groan and turned her back to him.
Before they left, though, Jeremiah leaned close to Kallen and whispered, "Uh, Kallen...try and speak good about me to your dad too, okay?"
Kallen nodded. "Sure!"
Stepping out into the cold night air, the moon shining brightly in the dark sky, C.C. started to feel a bit better. Kallen turned to face the green-haired girl and looked her over for a moment. Letting out a sigh of relief, she said, "Ahh...you're looking alot better. You don't look pale anymore. I'm glad...I'm really glad..."
C.C. opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly lurched over and puked again. Wiping her mouth, she clutched her stomach and groaned, "...Dammit...just when I thought it was finally done, too..."
"I'll walk you home..." Kallen offered. As the two young women walked through the darkness, their only source of light from the moon, C.C. went over everything that had happened in her mind.
'Alright, so we went in, we ate a few pizzas, talked a bit, met Orange-kun and his daughter...and then...I ate that pizza with the fried orange slices on top of it, and I started puking...right? Yeah, I did...god, my stomach hurts so bad...all those good pizzas too ended up being spewed out, which fuckin' sucks...dammit...still, it wasn't that bad, I guess...being with Kallen like this...'
"C.C..."
"...Yeah?"
Kallen grinned sheepishly. "Uh..where exactly do you live anyway?"
C.C. sighed and pointed over to a small house across the street from their position. "Really...it's right over there...I don't live that far from my workplace..."
After making sure no cars were coming, they quickly crossed the street and stopped in front of the gateway into C.C.'s humble abode. Kallen wiped the sweat from her brow and remarked, "So...I guess this is the end of our date, then..."
C.C. nodded and replied, "Yes...it is...but, it wasn't a date, you know...right?"
Kallen ignored this little statement again and stated, "Besides that whole thing of you blowing chunks, it was pretty fun, being with you! I hope...I hope we can grow closer as time goes on...we should do this again real soon..."
"Uh...yeah..."
"Because, well...because..."
Suddenly, without warning, Kallen pulled C.C. into a powerful hug. It was so sudden that it shook the green-haired girl's already queasy stomach a bit, making her feel even worse. A shiver crawled up C.C.'s spine as she felt Kallen's hot breath press against her ear lobe.
"Because, C.C...I really love you...so please love me back...tell me how you really feel about me...next time we meet...okay?" Kallen whispered.
C.C. thought she was going to puke again.
Then, Kallen shoved a small piece of paper into C.C.'s palm, spun around, and ran off into the darkness of the night, not looking back even once.
Opening the paper, C.C. realized it was Kallen's cell phone number and her home address. A horrible realization dawned up her at that moment.
'Oh god...oh god...'
She stuffed the paper into her pocket, then rushed into the house. She quickly said "good night" to her parents (although it sounded more like a simple grunt than anything else) and rushed into her bedroom. C.C. didn't even bother undressing first before plopping onto her soft bed, causing her Cheese-kun doll to bounce off onto the floor.
'...I gotta call Lelouch!' C.C. swiped out her cell phone, punched in the numbers, and held it up against her ear, practically praying for him to pick up soon. Luckily, C.C. soon heard his voice on the other line.
"...Allo?! Ah, hey, C.C.! Wassup? You finished hanging out with Kallen?"
"Yes, Lelouch, I did..." C.C. sighed, "And...I really think we DID go out on a date after all..."
"I knew it..." Lelouch sighed.
"She...she even told me she loved me..."
Lelouch didn't say anything for a moment. "Damn...she works fast, that girl! What're ya gonna do? Did you respond to that?"
"No...she told me to tell her next time we meet..."
"Well, I suppose there's nothing left you can do now...but go through with it,"
"But...but Lelouch-!"
"C.C., do you like Kallen, too?"
C.C. thought about it. 'She's pretty...she's smart...she's nice...she's just a completely wonderful person...and I think I...and I think I...'
C.C. sighed. "...I think I like her, too..."
Lelouch chuckled under his breath. "Yeah, I knew it. I'm always right about things like this. Look, talk to me about it some more on our way to classes tomorrow, alright? We'll figure something out, then..."
"I gotcha,"
"Good night, C.C...."
"Good night, Lelouch..."
And with that, C.C. hung up the phone, let out a heavy sigh, and slowly drifted off to sleep...
'...Kallen...'
