See, told you I'd try to write faster xD I want to thank all of you for reading this story, which started off as a random thing I put together over winter break when I was bored. My first few followers/reviewers/favorites, thank you for liking it, I would not have continued it if it weren't for you. Enjoy :D

"We spent thousands of dollars again today…" Lelouch stated, staring up at the receipts in his hand as he lay on the bed. As he went through each one, he let it fall to bed, and his head was soon surrounded my long slips of paper.

C.C. lay on her side on the bed, watching Lelouch riffle through the receipts. Her gaze shifted to the doorway, where all the fruits of a day's shopping were still sitting on the sofa in their bags. The two of them had been too lazy to unpack them, choosing instead to immediately enter their room and crash on the bed, exhausted.

"Not to mention, $500 on pizza alone." Lelouch continued in a judgmental tone, raising an eyebrow.

C.C.'s head whipped around at that comment as she sat up. "Stop judging me." She said. "I like pizza."

Lelouch stifled a laugh as he replied. "I know. I'm not judging."

C.C. narrowed her eyes and glared at Lelouch. "I can feel it."

"What are you talking about?" Lelouch asked innocently, biting his lip to keep himself from smiling or laughing.

"Stop ittt." C.C. complained, pouting. "What's so bad about pizza?"

"Nothing." Lelouch replied. "Never said anything was wrong with pizza."

"Hmph." C.C. crossed her arms and turned the other way, then fell backwards onto the bed next to Lelouch and cuddled up to him, draping an arm over his chest and resting her head on his shoulder. "Hater. Turn the light off. I'm tired." She mumbled.

Lelouch laughed lightly and wrapped an arm around the immortal girl. "Good night C.C." He whispered as he turned off the lamp on the bedside table and darkness filled the room.

Lelouch sighed as he let his head to fall down on the notebook, arms extended over his head. "What are we supposed to do? We can't try to make a giant pizza for the third year in a row."

C.C. leaned back in her chair as she twirled her pen between her fingers absently. "Why not?" She asked, pouting. "We never completed it anyway."

Lelouch raised his head and glared at her. "You already go to pizza hut at least once a day, C.C. You don't need this giant pizza as well."

"Yes I do." C.C. leaned forward and stared Lelouch in the eye. "There's a different feel to it."

"You've never had a giant pizza." Lelouch stated critically. "How would you know?"

"Hmph." C.C turned away. "The only reason I've never had one is because of the incompetence of the student council."

"No, it's because you were being so greedy and came out of hiding to get pizza!" Lelouch retorted, standing up and kicking his chair far behind him. Hands on the desk in front of him, he continued, "Don't go pinning the blame on us."

"I could've perfectly avoided them." C.C. scoffed. "It was a giant festival with people walking around everywhere. Plus, there wasn't even anyone there."

"We couldn't take the risk!" Lelouch shot back. "Besides, I could have brought pizza up to our room."

"Tch," C.C. turned away indignantly.

"Uh… guys?" Rivalz interjected hesitantly. "We-"

"Sorry." Lelouch sighed, sitting back down and returning his gaze to the blank piece of paper in front of him.

Turning back around, C.C. asked boredly, "What are we gonna do then?"

The three of them sat in silence for a long while. Kallen was absent, as she had been for the past week, busy on Black Knight business. C.C. dozed off, while Lelouch and Rivalz began discussing possible events.

"We could just have a huge dance." Lelouch suggested, leaning on his arm. "And just give everyone the day off."

"That could work…" Rivalz trailed off, tapping his pen on his desk. Looking out the window, he suddenly said, "Why don't we think about this some more and decide tomorrow? It's getting late."

"Mm." Lelouch agreed.

Rivalz collected his stuff and exited the room, yelling behind him, "See you tomorrow!"

"See you!" Lelouch called after him before collecting his things and rising from his seat. Lelouch stepped over to her and leaned down to gently shake her shoulder. "C.C. Wake up, it's time to go."

C.C. turned her head to the side and murmured, "Giant… pizza…mmm…"

Lelouch facepalmed and shook her again. This time, she slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them, looking around. "What is it?"

"It's time to go." Lelouch said, rising and looking down at her. As C.C. began to clean up her bag, Lelouch's phone rang loudly. Sighing tiredly, Lelouch held it up to his ear and said, "Hello? Lucien here."

"Lelouch?" The voice was Kallen's. "I need to talk to you about something. Can you meet me at the Black Knight's hideout in fifteen to thirty minutes? Bring C.C. as well."

Lelouch's eyes widened. "Why there? Won't I be recognized?"

"There's nobody here right now." Kallen said. "Besides Suzaku, of course."

"Alright." Lelouch sighed. He had wanted to let Suzaku know anyway, and this presented a chance to reach him without letting the other Black Knights know. "I'll be there soon."

"What's going on?" C.C. asked. She had her school bag slung over her shoulder and had come up behind Lelouch.

"Kallen needs to talk to me about something. I'm going to the Black Knight's hideout." Lelouch explained.

C.C. frowned. "Is that smart?"

"Not really..." Lelouch admitted, smiling sheepishly. "But nobody's there right now, so I should be fine." Starting out of the room, Lelouch said, turning his head, "Let's go."

Lelouch softly knocked on the door to the hideout to alert Kallen and Suzaku of his presence, then quietly let himself in and walked into the general meeting room. Kallen was sitting on the sofa, leaning back as she stared at her phone screen, dressed in a plain T-shirt and shorts. Suzaku was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey." Kallen looked up as they entered the room and sat up, putting her phone away.

Lelouch and C.C. sat down next to Kallen. Inspecting the room, Lelouch commented, "You guys sure changed the place a lot since I was last here." Not only was the entire place much larger, they had added new furnishing and other accessories. Turning back to Kallen, Lelouch asked, "Where's Suzaku?"

"Probably in his room." Kallen said airily, tilting her head in the direction of the hallway that led to Zero's room. "Zero!" She called, "They're here!"

Suzaku's voice answered, "Okay, coming."

Lelouch wasn't sure what to feel upon seeing his old friend again. He had seen Suzaku as an enemy for the most part during his rebellion, and had deceived him as well as most other people. However, Suzaku had helped him with Zero Requiem and had served him, kind of reigniting the spark of friendship.

As Suzaku entered the room, Lelouch said, "We meet again, Suzaku Kururugi, or should I say, Zero." As he spoke, he smirked and swept a hand across his eyes, removing his contacts.

Suzaku's eyes widened and he took a step back as he recognized the deep purple eyes of Lelouch vi Britannia. "Le...louch? What the… what?" Suzaku stammered as he stared at his friend, confused. "Is this a dream?"

"No, sit down." Kallen said, an amused smile on her face, "It's a long story."

Suzaku hesitantly sat down on the sofa across the table from the three of them, a very conflicted look on his face. "Explain." He demanded flatly.

"Well," Lelouch started, taking a deep breath, "Let's start from the beginning. Do you remember how I killed my father while we were in C's world?"

"Yes." Suzaku nodded, frowning in confusion.

"He had a power called code. This code grants the bearer immortality and disables all geass effects on them. There is a catch, though. Once a geass has reached its final advanced stage, where it shows in both eyes instead of one, that person has the power to take their code from them and kill them. If code and geass are given to a person from the same person, the geass disappears and is replaced by the code. However, if code and geass are acquired from different people, that person reaches what is known as "Code Geass", where they have both code and geass.

"I unknowingly took my father's code as I killed him. I was immortal and I didn't even know it. After you stabbed me, I woke up a month later in the countryside." Lelouch sighed, "So that's it."

Suzaku rested his chin on his hands, deep in thought. "Hm… immortality huh? That's hard to believe. No matter how confusing your story may be, it does make sense if you're here." He smiled, shaking his head. "You really are something, aren't you, Lelouch?"

Lelouch was taken aback. "Aren't you mad at me? For, you know…"

Suzaku looked down, eyes suddenly filled with sadness. "I was. However, I understand that it was an accident. Although I still disagree with your methods, I probably killed as many civilians as you have when I fired that F.L.E.I.J.A. But you were willing to sacrifice yourself for world peace in the end, and that's good enough for me, I guess." After a pause, Suzaku said, "Would you look at that. World peace achieved, and you're not dead. Win-win situation."

"Okay." Kallen cut in, leaning forward. "Now that that's resolved, let's get down to what I called you here for."

"You want my help in defeating the assassin?" Lelouch asked, already knowing what it was going to be.

"Yes." Kallen replied, unfazed that Lelouch had already known, as it was probably pretty obvious. "To prevent further deaths. It should be pretty easy with your geass and code."

Lelouch thought for a while, then said, "We'll need to make him target me first. Leak information that Lucien Clear is part of the Black Knights. He can do the rest of the research himself. Then, when he comes after me, we get him."

"Let's hope this'll be as simple as my plan laid out." Lelouch sighed as he and C.C. arrived at home.

"You'll be fine." C.C. laughed, flopping down onto the couch. "There's nothing he can do to you."

Lelouch shrugged, saying, "It's for the rest of them." Walking over to the fridge, he pulled out one of the fifty extra slices of pizza stored in it and slapped it onto a plate. Putting it in the microwave, he returned to the sofa and sat down next to C.C.

"This is so stressing." Lelouch sighed, leaning his head back. "Our plan's success relies on the assassin now."

"Hm…" C.C. hated to see Lelouch like this. She flipped herself over on top of him and leaned close to his face. "I can take your mind off it…" She said in a low, seductive tone.

Lelouch smirked, pushing the assassin from his thoughts. "Really?" He asked, sliding his hands underneath her shirt.

C.C. shivered and collapsed on top of Lelouch, letting out a gasp. "Your hands are so cold." She complained.

"Oh?" Lelouch said, raising an eyebrow. He began to rub her back as he pressed his lips against hers. C.C. gasped into his mouth, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck as if he would disappear any second, and Lelouch could feel her shivering. Taking the chance, Lelouch pulled her closer, inserting his tongue into her mouth and beginning to explore. C.C. moaned unconsciously, still breathless from Lelouch caressing her body.

Lelouch ran a hand lightly down C.C.'s stomach, slowly running a finger along the edge of her panties. C.C. whimpered, impatient, and Lelouch slipped his index and middle fingers inside.

Breaking away, Lelouch said teasingly, "Oh, soaking down here, I see."

"Shut up. Hurry up and do it." C.C. whispered, capturing Lelouch's lips in another kiss.

Smirking into C.C.'s lips, Lelouch inserted his middle finger into her. "Haaa…" C.C. moaned, arching her back as pleasure shot through her body. Lelouch felt her inner walls tighten against the intrusion, and he began moving it in and out slowly. He then slid his other hand up her back, unclipping her bra and letting it fall to the ground.

Cupping one, Lelouch brushed the tip with a finger, eliciting a long moan from C.C., who broke the kiss and dropped her head onto Lelouch's shoulder. Lelouch added a second finger to the one inside her, and C.C.'s entire body shuddered as she gasped again.

Jumping off of Lelouch, C.C. grabbed his hand and dragged him into the bedroom, leaving the pizza in the microwave, where Lelouch found it the next morning, ice cold.

"Lucien Clear…" Shadow murmured, narrowing his eyes at the file before him. Something about the man seemed familiar, although the assassin couldn't quite place it. Shaking the unsettling feeling off and dismissing it as his imagination, Shadow sighed and decided to begin his tracking tomorrow. He had been laying low the past few days, waiting for security to slack off before he continued.

Rising from his seat, Shadow stacked all the papers and potential Black Knight files, placing Lelouch's on top. Then he stretched, looking out the window. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a white glow on everything underneath.

He would have to wait until at least crescent until making his move. Striking while the moon was too bright was risky. He would just have to kill quickly and efficiently in the span of a couple nights each month.

Eyes lingering on Lucien Clear's file for one last second, Shadow sighed as he turned away, flicking the lights off as he went.

This was my first attempt at something close to a lemon, so I made it short. Should I try a longer one? PM me or something and let me know :D
