Green: the Color of Jealousy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suzaku was excited for Milly's small party for the Student Council. This year for once she decided not to get the whole school involved, which was actually nice, and she even let him invite some of his friends from work. Of course at the mention of "Friends from work", Suzaku had started to call Cecile and Lloyd, when he realized with heavy heart he didn't work for them anymore, so with a lighter attitude he had called the two he most got along with in the Knights of Round, one Gino Weinberg and Anya Alstriem. Clad in a green button up shirt and his uniform pants, Suzaku had answered the door to his room happily, catching the Knight of Three by surprise, having not ever seen Suzaku's "fun side" before, only his serious side from work. Anya walked in calmly, no emotion emanating off her face, and her lips only muttering out the words, "Recorded," as she flashed her camara upon arrival.
"Gino's not wearing green," the pink-haired girl stated plainly, pointing a singe index finger toward the tall blonde who looked back at her with a genuinely confused face, and shrugged. Suzaku and his serious face stood next to Gino and stared up at him. The knight smiled back at the smaller one then squinted as a small hand pinched the side of his arm.
"Ow!" Gino yelped, rubbing the small red spot on his arm. The blue eyes of Gino met green, however they weren't serious, sad, or even lonely. The green eyes were bright and joyful, reminding him a bit of a child's. Suzaku smiled up at him, too happy and excited to be all that serious around Gino.
"On Day you have to wear green, or otherwise," Suzaku pointed at the spot Gino's hand was holding, "that will happen," he said with a tilt of his head, grabbing a black jacket hanging off his door and turning a little more toward Anya. "So you guy's ready to go?" Anya simply nodded, while Gino's head looked as if he was having a seizure. With a small chuckle, Suzaku told them 'let's go', and led them out of the room and toward the Student Council room with a beat in his step.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milly laughed at the chaos in the room. Lelouch had tried to pin up a "Happy Day" banner over the window, but due to Shirley's clumsiness, boxes had fallen causing the cat to run out of his hiding place and knock the stool out from underneath the prince's feet, causing him to topple over and land on top of the table, tangled in banner. Rivals sighed as he watched the chaos happen and looked up at the tangerine haired girl who was blushing a deep red and apologizing endlessly to the boy holding his head on the table. Milly clapped her hands in enjoyment, coming to a stop only to see if she had really heard the door knock. Another knock at the door was heard, brightening the girl's face up as she ran to them, opening them up with a fierce, "WELCOME!"
Suzaku wasn't at all taken by surprise by Milly's ferocity and instead, nervously smiled back at her, entering the room, followed by Gino who was startled, but happy nonetheless, and Anya with no expression.
"Haha, hi Milly," Suzaku greeted with a small laugh, suddenly stopping in his tracks as his eyes layed sight on the scene in front of him. "Lelouch?" he questioned, walking to the table and lightly lifting the part of the banner covering the others face. The prince looked at him with the most agitated look Suzaku had seen and sighed, stating simply, "I fell."
Giino, Milly, Suzaku, and Rivals laughed at the plain and simple answer coming from the most detailed person in the room. The laughter, as it calmed down, was followed by a small "Recorded" from the girl with the camara. A loud groan was heard from Lelouch, his face flushing a light red and him grabbing the banner once more and throwing it over his face. Shirley gasped and stood up, her face also red with embarrassment, making her way around the boxes of decorations she tripped over.
"Hello! Welcome!" Shirley practically yelled out, too embarrassed to control the very volume of her voice, only making her blush even more. Gino politely nodded his head back at her and took her hand, planting a small kiss on the back of it.
"It's a pleasure," he smiled down at her. Suzaku gave him a small slap on the arm, happening to be the same spot he pinched, and looked up at him seriously. Milly let out a hearty laugh and proceded to help Lelouch up and untangle from the banner, along with Rivals and Rolo, who had been previously quiet playing a game on the computer.
"Too formal," Suzaku scolded the blonde, wavig a single index finger at him in front of his face. Shirley nervously smiled and backed away, tripping over the cat and letting out a yelp. The girl's yelp caught their attention, and they stared down at her, however, Suzaku's finger was still up in the air giving a last wave intcing the cat down below to pounce on it and clamp it's teeth around the digit. Suzaku's face was one of pain and a reminiscing happyness at the same time, as he remembered how Arthur had done that in the past. Gino chickled and grabbed the cat off of Suzaku's finger and cradled it in his arms, tickling it's belly with his fingers and making baby noises. Suzaku blew on his finger, then bent down offering Shirley his hand.
"T-thanks," she siad, taking the knights hand allowing herself to be pulled up. They turned toward the once chaotic scene to see that the banner was now put up and Lelouch was currently recieving a band-aid on his hand, Rolo gently placing it there with a sweet boyish charm. Suzaku smiled, glad that the once orphaned boy now had a someone to call family, whether siad family was involuntary or not. The young boy smiled and let his older brother go, Lelouch smiled down at him, nodding his head and proceded toward the knight of seven and Shirley. "S-sorry, Lulu.." Shirley said, shuffling her feet and looking down at the ground. Lelouch smiled spympatheticaly.
"It's alright Shirley," he told her, placing a hand on her shoulder. This interaction, Suzaku wasn't sure how, made him angry at the orange-haired girl. He was suddenly overcome by a wave of anger to where he immediately brushed Lelouch's hand off. The looked up at him in shock, not expecting Suzaku to do such a thing. Suddenly, he realized what he had done and his features were flooded with shame.
"I'm sorry!" he apoligized, patting Shirley's shoulder then Lelouch's hand. "It's just.. I uh-... Saw A FLY!" he blurted out, thinking of the first excuse he could think of. Shirley told him it was ok and patted his shoulder back in return, then went off when Milly called out her name to help set up some game she pulled out of a box. Suzaku looked down in embarrassment as he could feel the smirk eminating of off his lovers face in front of him. Lelouch nudged him, causing the chocolate haired boy to look up at him. His face flushed when he saw that smug look on the other's face. It was just so damn beautiful, but at the same time, he was pissed! How could he look at him like that? So condescending! Obviously Lelouch had taken note of this and just smiled leaning in closer to his ear.
"You were jealous," he whispered, lightly laughing as he backed away from the now tomatoed knight, who looked away, tightening his fists. Suzaku's head whipped around back toward Lelouch.
"And what if I was!" he yelled in a whisper,not wanting to catch the attention of the other's in the room who were pretty preoccupied with other things. That is, except one pink haired girl, who silently sat a little off to the side of them, recording thier conversation. "You still took notice of it!" Lelouch almost pouted back and shrugged.
"True, that's only cuase I know you too well," he siad with a small shake of his head. Suzaku laughed looked back at him.
"That's because you love me," he whispered. Suzaku watched as the prince's face flushed and he turned his head away, nodding breifly. He let out small laugh then went to go hold the other's hand.
"TWIIIIIISTEEEEERR!" A loud slam was heard from the table as the Student Council president slammed her fists down on the hard wood, every muscle in her face creating a large and almost evil grin. Rivals maoned and yelled out, "Do you have to say it so loud, kaichou!?" Milly nodded back, crossing her amrs in front of her and holding her head up high in the air. Suzaku backed off, taken by surprise, then sighed, allowing his body to be dragged away by Gino, who let out an excited, possibly even girly, squeel and immediately decided to drag his best buddy along toward whatever it is he saw. Shirley sighed and smiled letting a small giggle,
"That's The Prez for ya," Shirley stated, grabbing a square peice of what Suzaku believed to be cardboard out of the box and set it on her lap. Lelouch heavily sighed letting his shoulders droop with his head as he layed eyes on the plastic layed out on the floor.
"Realy, Milly?" the prince questioned motioning to the plastic on the floor. Suzaku followed his arm movements to see a familiar game he used to play with Lelouch, Nunally, and Kaguya (when she came to visit) when they were young. The familiar colored cirlces all lined up in those rows captivated his eyes and he girnned widely, breaking away from Gino and excited jumped over the mat. Milly nodded greatly and patted the prince's head, who instantly smacked her hand away. The president laughed.
"Twister!" Suzaku siad excitedly. "I remember this! It's been so long... WHO GOES FIRST?!" he asked Milly, wide-eyed. The president was actually taken by surprise, but smiled happy that at least one person was happy about her choice of game. She brought up a hat, one recognizable to when they had a particular festival where Lelouch had to be the king of the school and Milly the queen. The crown, most definently fit for a king(although plastic on the inside) was placed in the blonde's lap.
"We're drawing names!" she siad cheerfully. Shirley smiled up at the idea and raised her hand. "Yes, Shirley?" Milly called on her.
"Can I draw the names!?" she asked pleefully.
"Of course!" Milly then handed her the crown. Shirley took it happily and began to shuffle around in the papers. The others saw it as the game going to start and took a seat around the mat. Shirley stuck her tongue out, thinking then pulled one peice of paper out of the hat and looked at the name. her face became worried as she looked down at the paper.
"Me?" she questioned, then set it down, pressing her arm back into the crown. She pulled out another peice and blushed ferociously. "L-L-L-LLLLLL," she stuttered holding the piece away from her as if it were a strange animal about to attack. "LULU?!?" she yelled out. Lelouch's head popped up as he looked at her in desbelief.
"What?" he said, irritatedly.
"Yep you! Now you two, go on the mat!" Milly exclaimed, grabbing Lelouch's right arm and throwing him over the mat. The prince stumbled and decided to just go along with it becuase it was either Twister or something much much worse...
Shirley was then thrown after him, both of them on either side of the mat. Gino waved his hand up in the air, Milly nodded her approval.
"Can I call out the steps?" he asked with a sweet smile. Milly almost blushed, but got ahold of herself and handed the square spinner to him. Lelouch and Shirley prepared themeselves, determination burning in the irises of their eyes. Gino spun the spinner, and called out the first step for Shirley.. and the game began...
The game proceded normally, Lelouch ending up in a verry girlish pose with his back arched, to avoid Shirley whose leg was over him almost as if they were in a staddle. Evey pose they were in that was picture worthy was followed by a flash of Anya's camara. Rolo peaked over her shoulder to look at all of them, obvoisly having fun watching the crazy antics. The next moves were called and called agian, Shirley and Lelouch's situations everchanging. Suzaku blushed at some of the poses showing off Lelouch's body like that. He knew it was just a game, but some of them just made his mind wander to impure things making his face flush. As his mind began to wander once more as Lelouch's was in a very suggestive pose, he froze. The whole room went silent.
"Ah!" Shirley screamed softly, her green eyes wide in surprise and possibly fear. As Gino had called out the next move, Shirley nodded and bent down, setting her only unused hand down on a cirlce only to look back up into a familiar rump in her face. She flushed and her nose began to bleed giving her a light head and causing her topple over. Lelouch also blushed out of embarrassment and brought himself into a more appropraite stance and looked down at Shirley on the mat with a small shake of his head. Milly let out a loud "HA!" and grabbed the girl on the floor and dragged her away, her nose leaving a small blood trail behind it. Lelouch sweat-dropped, carrying himself off the mat and setting himself instinctively between Suzaku and Gino. Suzaku looked over at Lelouch with a just shook his head at him, but when he looked back toward the mat, he allowed himself to smile. Suzaku knew that he couldn't help but smile when they made eye contact.
Milly grabbed Rivals' shoulder, the boy looked up at her expectingly and hopefully, almost puckering his lips for a kiss, when suddenly he saw the evil glint in her eye.
"Rivals," she said simply, rubbing her thumb on his shoulder. He gulped and nodded. "Do you think you could clean up Shirley's blood off the mat?" Rivals dropped his head and nodded limply, forcing his body up and drudging over to the bloodied area. "Good boy!" Milly exclaimed with a giggle, Rivals feeling as if he were being treated like the presidents pet dog, which he might as well have been. Suzaku felt bad for the poor guy, but he was certianly glad it wasn't him who was being asked, or rather secretly forced, to do the chore, fearfull of kaichou's power. Rolo crawled over and grabbed the spinner from Gino's lap, the blonde looked over at the small boy and tilted his head, Suzaku, curious of the noise, looked over to see Gino happily handing Lelouch's younger brother the spinner actually making the boy's bright violet eyes shine with a bit of happyness. Milly came back over and grabbed the crown, catching everyone's attention. "ALRIGHT!" She yelled out to create tension and excitement. Vehemently she placed her arm in the crown and searched around it. The small crowd of highschool students watched her, anticipating her next outburst as the president ripped out a small peice of paper from the crown and looked down at it with a smirk. Everyone instantly thought it was themeselves and scooted away from the kaichou as discretely as possible.
"GINO!" She yelled out, slamming the paper on the desk, causing only Rivials, Lelouch, and Suzaku to jump lightly in surprise. Gino jumped up instantly, fistis up in the air, and excitedly looked at Milly.
"Yes!" he exclaimed, punching one of his fists out. "Gino's in!" he yelled. The other's looked at him (with the exception of Anya and Shirley) like he was crazy. Suzaku didn't quite understand how his co-worker could be so goddamn happy and even want to be a part of Milly's game, however, the other's happyness was certainly rubbing off because suddenly Suzaku felt excited himself had a grin plastered to his face. Gino's happyness even canceled out Lelouch's hard glare or disapproval that would have brought down the mood of the others. Milly clapped, happy that for once, someone actually wanted to play a part in her game and with her new boosted pep she reached even more ferociously into the crown, letting out series of giggle-fits that to Suzaku, sounded quite evil. Rolo crawled over and picked up a peice of paper on the floor and lifted it up to the blond who was still ripping into the paper filled crown.
"One fell out," Rolo told her, nudging his arm a little more out to catch the crazy woman's attention. Suzaku looked confused at the boy then noticed, that indeed several peices of paper had flown in and out of the crown in the midst of the kaichou's attack. Milly stopped what she was doing and lightly grabbed the paper from the boys hand, setting it in front of her crystal blue eyes. As she read the paper she smiled widely and set it loudly down on top of Gino's name. Suzaku was suddenly overcome by a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomache, but it settled a little when Lelouch, sensing his trouble, grabbed his hand and caressed it with his lighter fingers, sending a small tingle up the side of his arm. However, it only aided the feeling which felt like it was getting worse as Milly layed her eyes on him. As soon as those blue orbs set their sight on him, Suzaku felt as if the whole world were looking down upon him, and his stomache began to churn in a very bad way.
"SUZAKU!!!" The blonde yelled out, pointing one slender index finger at him. It had to have been the anticipation killing him because as soon as she yelled out his name, Suzaku felt the weight lift off of him and his stomache stopped churning, giving him an overwhelming sense of releif. Lelouch's hand however, gripped onto a couple of his fingers. The knight didn't need to look over at the raven haired one to tell that he was oviously fretful of the idea of he and Gino playing Twister together after his very own experience with Shirley. Before he lifted himself off the ground, Suzaku gave Lelouch a reassuring squeeze. He let out a held breath and stood on the opposite side of Gino. Milly laughed viciously, Suzaku could swear she was going to lose her voice by the end of the day she was laughing so much, and nodded at Rolo. The young boy nodded back with determination in his bright eyes and flicked the spinner. The long arrow then came to a stop on the board, and the game began once agian.
The game proceded quite lightly. Lelouch watched them carefully, suddenly feeling that sense of jealousy as he watched Gino and Suzaku so much as even brush gainst one another. No matter how many times he told himself not to be so suspicious, there was this glint in the blonde knight of three's eye that told him to be. Rolo called out a few more steps, Anya taking several pictures of thier poses. The prince, glared as the two on the mat laughed having the time of their lives. 'I'm supposed to be the one having that much fun with Suzaku!' Lelouch thought, not allowing the thought to appear on his facial features, but rather his fists agianst the lining of his sleeves. Little did he know that his very own little brother was also watching something quite carefully. The young boy's eyes had been fixated on his older brother the whole time, growing ever more jealous of Lelouch's jealousy over Suzaku. Rolo had seen them on Christmas and had teased his older brother about it, however, over a short period of time, the boy had become ever more attached to his sibling so much as to even want him all to his self. So the younger sibling watched the older one as the older one watched his Christmas lover with another guy playing Twister.
Lelouch surveyed Gino with his eyes, deciding then and there, that the knight of three was NOT good enough for his Suzaku. The thing was, Suzaku was having too much fun with him, and the prince couldn't take it anymore. He had to end it. Glancing around the room for a solution, he began to eliminate future fail plans, when a certain feline caught his eyes from in between Suzaku's leg and Gino's stomache. Smirking to himself, Lelouch rustled the carpet of the Council room floor, although inaudable to everyone else in the room, Arthur's ears swung over to Lelouch's fingers instantly and the cat lazily lifted its head off his paws to look at the twiddling and inticing fingers across the room. 'Perfect,' Lelouch thought as Arthur placed his hind legs behind him, the sign that he was ready to spring forward at any moment. 'If a cat can knock me onto a table, then it can stop a pair of guys from doing anything obscene!' With that thought, the prince moved his hand abruptly to the side. The swift movement and sudden stop sent Arthur on a large spring right from underneath a tilted box and through a small space in between the knights of round, knocking them down in one swoop, continuing on to almost attacking Lelouch's hand, had he not taken it back into his lap, and ran past him right into Rivals leg. The cyclist let out a cry of pain as he attempted to shake the cat off his leg, although it was glued tightly to it, nials, teeth, and all. Lelouch let out a small triumphant "hmph" as he looked at the location of the cat. Turning his head back to his targets however, his eyes widened. Rolo sighed, obviously his brother had not thought about exactly HOW his victims were going to land when they were to fall.
Shirley finaly awoke from her passing out and lifted her head, hearing commotion. As she looked around the room to see what she missed she spotted a very suggestive seen causing her to faint once more from a noseblead. Suzaku lay on the mat, blushing ferociously with the knight of three's left leg in between both of his extremely close to a specific area and the blondes face also very close, thier lips almost meeting eachothers to the point where Suzaku could feel the hot breath coming out of Gino's parted lips making him want to kiss the other. Suzaku almost thought he was going to if Milly hadn't laughed ear-pearcingly loud, followed by Anya's small voice in the back and a flash of her camara. Lelouch covered his ears as soon as his kaichou laughed, also glaring at the scene before him. 'Damnit!' He thought, clenching one of his fists together. 'Damnit damnit damnit!' he thought agian hating himself for not thinking about the outcome of their fall. Gino nervously laughed and smiled down at Suzaku who just sighed and turned his head away from the blond on top of him.
"Sorry Suzaku," Gino apoligized, lifting himself off of the brunnette with a little help from Milly. He bent down once more and offered his hand out to Suzaku with a smile. The knight of seven took it gently and allowed himself to be pulled up almost like a ragdoll. As he brushed himself off, he caught sight of Lelouch and a look of worry crossed his face. A tap on his shoulder brought him back toward Gino, even though he was smiling, something seemed to be troubling him. Gino leaned in a bit closer to Suzaku and whispered, "I need to talk to you." Suzaku looked back up at him then nodded, seeing as it might be serious then turned to Milly who was helping Rivals escape the clutches of Arthur along with Rolo.
"Milly!" Suzaku yelled out to catch their attention. The blonde looked over from what she was doing leaving the work for Rolo, who struggled without the help of the president. "Gino and I will be right back," he told her with a smile. Milly nodded back and turned back around to help Rolo help Rivals who was now covered in a series of scratch marks (And we thought he only attacked Suzaku!). Before leaving the room with Gino, Suzaku caught sight of Lelouch, the look in his dark violet eyes almsot saddened him and he wondered why he looked so sad, but his thoughts were interupted when Gino grabbed hold of his arm and drug him outside of the room.
"So what is it Gino?" Suzaku asked as soon as they were out of the room and down the hall a bit. Gino lightly looked away, but then made eye contact.
"Lelouch," he said simply looking down. Suzaku now had a look of confusion on his face, wondering what exactly he was getting at. Was there something wrong with him? "I don't think he likes me very much," Gino told him, scratching the back of his head. "He kept glaring at me all through the game and well..." Gino trailed off. Suzaku was almost in disbelief, but he could imagine Lelouch doing something like that to just about anyone other than his sister Nunally, who he shouldn't have even been thinking about in the first place.
"Well what?" Suzaku urged him, curious. Gino looked back up at Suzaku, basically preparing himself to give Suzaku bad news.
"Well, I saw him, I think purpously get the cat to knock us over, and he didn't look too happy when I fell on top of you," Gino finaly spit out. Suzaku just smiled up at Gino and laughed.
"Haha! He's so jealous!" Suzaku laughed to himself thinking how cute he thought that was. "I knew he loved me," he siad, not realizing that Gino was still right next to him, cuaght up in the mental image he was getting from imagining Lelouch jealous enough to sabotage someone.
"Love you?" Gino asked. Suzaku turned toward him, realizing what he said. Gino just smiled down at him, and Suzaku understood fully that he could not escape from Gino who had obviously heard his statement and gave in.
"Ok, Gino I'm only going to tell you this, ok?" he siad, studying the others face to make sure he understood. The knight of three nodded quickly. "Alright," he took in a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Lelouch and I...are... together!" he blurted out, his face red with embarrassment. Gino's grin widened and he clapped excitedly.
"Ha! I knew it!" Gino exclaimed throwing a fist into the air. Suzaku just sighed and looked away. 'What have I done?' he thought heavily to himself.
Lelouch heaved along with Rolo and Milly. They had finally managed, with group effort, to free Rivals from the wrath of Arthur the cat. The cylclist now lay on the ground, face and body alike printed in a pattern of cat scratches and teeth marks. Milly congratulated them on thier success, although it came out weak from her exhaustion. The three had now taken a seat around the table and layed back in them, Rolo in particular sinking into his slowly, too tired to hold himself up. Shirley had awoken once agian, but didn't bother to ask what had happened and instead grabbed herself a cup of water and set herself down around the table quietly as well. The room full of heads swerved toward the door upon the noise of it clicking and swinging open to see the return of Suzaku and Gino, both smiling adequitely.
"What took you so long?" Milly pouted, crossing her arms. Suzaku looked back at her nervously. "We could have used you guys in freeing Rivals!" Rivals laughed weakly off to the side, laying on the ground.
"You mean so he could get attacked instead?" Lelouch inquired from the back. Suzaku looked at him. The look on the other's was so serious, yet he could pull out the hint of sarcasm within them. Milly laughed, admitting that it would have been a bad idea to let Suzaku try to deal with a cat on the attack, much less Arthur, one cat with a history of reapeated hostility toward the knight.
"Recorded," Anya repeated just about the only thing she had said all night, as she leaned over Rivals flashing the camara in his face. Rivals rubbed his eyes from the flash, and several of the heads looked over. Anya then stood straight up and turned toward the window and pointed. "It's getting late..." she noted, walking off of Rivals and grabbing the green jacket she had had on earlier in the day, but had taken off without anyone realy noticing. Milly perked up and put a finger to her lips.
"That's right, huh?" Milly siad with a heavy sigh and leaned back in her chair. Suzaku looked out the window to see that it was most certainly dark outside and Milly's father was only allowing her to keep the room open for so long and the deadline was most likely going to happen soon. The president stood up and walked toward the Twister mat and twisted her head around. "Can someone help me put it away?" she asked happily, although Suzaku could tell that she was depressed that everyone was going to have to leave soon. Nodding, both Gino and Suzaku went to her aid and began folding up the mat, Rolo joined them by grabbing the spinner on the floor and waiting to place it in the box. Milly nodded her thanks and together the Student Council helped clean the room up, from tipped over boxes to games that were either previously played or untouched.
Everyone sayed their last goodbyes, waving and some giving others hugs. Milly gave a large bow and blew kisses as she walked away, laughing as she turned around with an embarrassed Shirley who just waved and siad a particularly long goodbye to Lelouch. Suzaku waved back at them and followed Lelouch and his little brother back to thier home; he could almost feel the stab of the daggers Rolo were giving him, but ignored them. Finaly, everyone evaporated from sight just leaving Rolo, Lelouch, and Suzaku in the cold in front of the home of the brothers. As they made their way to go inside, Suzaku grabbed Lelouch's hand and tugged it. A head of Raven hair turned around and looked at him surprised.
"What is it?" Lelouch asked, wary of the waiting Rolo in front of them. Suzaku took one quick look at Rolo, but then set his gaze upon Lelouch once more.
"I...Want to talk to you," Suzaku siad lightly, taking one quick glance agian at Rolo, then back to Lelouch who looked back at him a little puzzled. "Private?" he asked, moving his eyes in the direction of the now tapping-footed, Rolo. Lelouch understood fully and turned back around to meet his brothers cold gaze.
"Rolo, go on ahead, we'll meet you in there," Lelouch told him with an urging nod. The boy just looked back at him and sighed, but nodded and smiled, turning on his heel and walking into the house. The two watched as the boy entered the home and closed the door, only then turning their attention back to one another. "Well?" Lelouch questioned, apparently already impatient and wanting to know what it was Suzaku needed to talk about in private.
"I told someone about us," Suzaku told him, pulling his head to the side. He could feel the anger ascending off of his lover quickly.
"What?!" Lelouch yelled out, almost in a state of panic, but managing to pull himself back together. "What?" he repeated in a more calm tone, with a hint of disbelief. Suzaku lauged lightly and looked back up.
"It was Gino...I told him that we were together," he siad. Lelouch looked almost confused and shocked at the same time.
"But we're not exactly-"
"That's what I want to talk to you about," Suzaku cut him off. He could feel the blush creep up on his face as he thought about the decision he was about to make. Lelouch also blushed, gulping as he thought about the many possibilities of Suzaku's next words. There was a long pause before Suzaku took in a deep breath. "Lelouch," he started. "I want us to be together," he stated looking seriously into the prince's violet eyes which were wide in surprise. Lelouch took a small step back, bringing a single pale hand up to his chest, resting on his colar bone.
"Suzaku," was all the prince could say, his face reddening. Suzaku took one more breath, closing his eyes and opening them agian to face the other.
"Will you," Suzaku quickly mentally prepared himself at the last minute, trying not to take too long as he could see Lelouch's knees begin to weaken. "Will you be my boyfreind?" he asked sweetly, holding out his hand and placing the nicest smile he could on display.
Lelouch hated himself at that moment. He felt utterly like a love-sick woman, much like Shirley now that he thought about it. His knees were weak, and it crept to his ankles. As much as he thought it was a blow to his masulinity, he couldn't help, but love the feeling all together, and allowed his body to move on its own. He jumped on Suzaku, bringing him into a tight hug. Suzaku hugged him back tightly, smiling even bigger than he had before.
"Yes! Of course!" word throw-up. That's what Lelouch called it. However, Suzaku knew better and labeled it simply as an 'I love you' response.
