Disclaimers: I don't own Code Geass, just this plot lol
Chapter 10 ~Dreams of Him~
"C.C.! C.C., over here!"
"You're here again?" asked C.C. as she addressed the man she approached.
"Yes of course, should I be somewhere else?" asked the man amused.
"Hmph, why are here anyways?" asked C.C. again as she crossed her arms.
"Why, to visit my beloved of course, what else could the reason be? Come and give me a hug, will you?" the man stretched both his arms invitingly.
C.C. smiled and complied, she embraced the man in black hakama and as he stroke her lime green hair she sighed.
"What is the matter?" he asked concerned.
"The beauty before him shook her head, "Nothing… I'm just contented…"
The man chuckled, "Good… You look beautiful today, C.C." He said as he examined C.C. in her black kimono, "Breathtakingly beautiful…"
"Why thank you, kind gentleman. You look rather handsome yourself…" C.C. chuckled too before she smiled warmly.
As the sun behind them sets in, they both leaned in for a chaste kiss.
C.C. woke up abruptly, accidentally pulling the while quilt that was covering her…
"C.C…. It'ssss coooolddddd…"
… Well, covering her and Kallen.
"C.C., it's c-cold! What the h-hell are you doinnnggg??!!!" asked Kallen getting up and pulling the covers over. "Why are you up anyway? It's three in the morning! You're not actually nervous are you?"
C.C., who was still dazed from her dream, didn't reply her. Kallen waited for her answer, but when her patience ran out she nudged the green haired witch. "Oi, C.C."
And when that didn't work she tried shaking her roommate, "Yo! Earth to C.C.!"
"Hmmm…?"
"Why are you up? Are you nervous or something?" asked the red head.
"Huh…? No. I just had a dream." replied the witch.
"A bad dream?"
"No."
"A good dream?" asked Kallen tilting her head and furrowing her eyebrows.
"Something like that…"
Who the heck has a good dream and woke up from it?! Kallen raised her eyebrows, Unless…
"You had an erotic dream?"
Time stood still, Kallen was kicked off of the bed.
"What the hell?! You DID have a dirty dream! That's why you woke up!" said Kallen grinning, she didn't even bother to get angry at C.C. for kicking her off the bed, this was far more interesting than that.
"I didn't have a dirty dream." said C.C. as she rolled her eyes, "It was just, well, unusual."
"You were dreaming about something good but unusual…? Were you dreaming of Lelouch?"
"No."
"That answer came rather quickly. Are you sure?" teased Kallen.
"The guy's face wasn't clear… He was wearing a black hakama…" muttered C.C.
"Oh, that dream again… It's weird though C.C., how come you don't seem to be able to remember his face?" asked Kallen furrowing her eyebrows. "You've met him hundreds of time…"
"I know…" C.C. then shrugged, "Eh, I'm sure it's because the man doesn't exist…"
Kallen yawn, "Yeah, you're probably right. Dreams are figments of what you wish for anyways. Alright, bed time." Kallen buried her face in to her pillow and wrapped herself up with the covers.
C.C. fell back and closed her eyes and soon sleep overtook her.
C.C. woke up as light illuminated her and Kallen's room.
"Good morning Mistress C.C., Mistress Kallen. Your uniforms have been prepared." Said a maid greeting both girls.
"Thank you and good morning, Sayako." Greeted C.C. back.
"Good morning…" said Kallen rubbing her eyes.
"Both Prince Lelouch and Princess Euphemia are waiting for you downstairs in the dining room." Informed Sayako as she bowed down, "I'll leave you two to change."
When Sayako left Kallen groaned, "Why are we doing this anyway?"
"Because Euphemia finds it fitting for us to join her at Ashford." Said C.C. as she slipped in to her uniform skirt, "Her Highness is going back to school I heard."
"No doubt about that." Muttered Kallen as she fixed her spiky hair into a straight do, "Might want to dye that hair to a normal colour there, Mistress C.C."
"Why? Afraid I'll overshadow you?" asked C.C. smirking.
"Won't want to give the wrong impression now, do you? After all, today IS the first day of our school. And…" added Kallen smugly, "…no one overshadows me, I'm a one of a kind."
"Rather smug now, are we, Miss Stadtfeld." Said C.C. as she brushed her long green mane.
"Hmph, don't call me that." Kallen fixed her tie and took her bag all the while eyeing her roommate.
"You ready?" she asked.
C.C. tossed her hair, "Was I ever not?"
Kallen scoffed, "Right, come on. Your boyfriend is waiting for us."
"He's not my boy—"
"Off we go, witch!"
"Good morning, C.C.-san, Kallen-san!" greeted Nunnally cheerfully.
"Good morning, Nunnally." Greeted them both.
"Kallen, C.C., what would you like for breakfast?" asked Euphy smiling.
"Whatever is fine…" replied C.C.
"Pancakes." Replied Kallen, "I've never actutally had a proper one…"
"That's right, all we ever got to eat was… bentos." Said Euphy who quickly changed the subject, "Anyways, pancakes it is then! Sayako, could you please prepare some pancakes for them?"
"Yes, Milady."
"Morning." Greeted C.C. to Lelouch cleared his throat.
"Yeah, morning." He greeted back.
Kallen and Euphy raised their eyebrows at the two, "Why so stiff? Shouldn't you give her a morning kiss, Lelouch?" Euphy asked rather happily.
Nunnally giggled and Rolo smiled, "Yes, Nii-san. Euphy Nee-san is right, shouldn't you greet you girlfriend with a peck or something?"
"Ahem, yes well, it's too early for that." Replied Lelouch looking away, "Good morning, Kallen."
"G-good morning." Kallen said almost laughing.
"So, tell me Euphy, why are we doing this again?" asked C.C. changing the subject swiftly. "It's not like we have the need to attend school."
"Yes, well, though our education is quite high for um, our past." Euphy cleared her throat, "Attending school, is probably the only thing you both could do for now. Since, well we are kind of underage so looking for a job is quite impossible."
"You're 18." Pointed out C.C.
"Yesss, I know that, I am aware of my age thank you very much. But, well since I have royal heritage, I'm not allowed to have a job. Anyhow, you both are going to Ashford, that's final." Declared Euphy with that same smile.
"…Fine…" replied both girls.
"Good, then it's settled then." Said Euphy still smiling brightly. "Now eat up!"
"Class, today we have two transfer students. You may come in." said Cornelia gesturing toward C.C. and Kallen. The two entered the class and stares were thrown at them as both girls walked gracefully in.
"Everyone, this is Kallen Stadtfeld and C.C."
Kallen bowed meekly and greeted the class with a soft voice, "Hello… I'm Kallen, nice to meet you all."
C.C. didn't even bother to bow, "Good day, as Miss Cornelia said, my name is C.C."
Whispers were heard as the whole class, some were annoyed C.C. attitude, some liked it, others talked about Kallen, how she was so refined and sweet.
The redhead tried to surpass a twitch that tried to surface, It's just a mask, stay with it, stay with it. Stay. With. It! Geez, why do I get the sickly one?! C.C. looks pale, she should be the sick one!
C.C. was clearly enjoying Kallen's pain and smirking at her friend, "Something wrong, Kalley? You're not sick or anything are you?"
Kallen nearly glared at her but settled with just smiling, "No, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." If I have to play the nice girl, might as well do it to the max!
"Right, now Miss Stadtfelt, you may be seated next to Mister Weinberg. And Miss C.C., you're table is next to His Highness." Informed Cornelia.
"Thank you." Both girls proceeded to take their seating arrangements.
Lelouch watched as C.C. sat next to him, "So how's it so far?"
"Fine." Replied C.C. bored.
"Well you seemed bored." Said Lelouch amused, "This wasn't my idea, just so you know."
"Right…" said C.C. smirking, "Putting me in the same class as you is just a coincidence then?"
Lelouch coughed, "W-well, that…"
C.C. chuckled, "Pay attention Lelouch, otherwise Cornelia will yell at you like last time."
"Hmph, shut it witch."
"GOD, IT WAS SO SUFFOCATING IN THERE!" screamed Kallen from the school roof. That day they decided to make the rooftop their hang out place and ate lunch there.
Euphy giggled, "Maybe we shouldn't have asked you to feign sick. But you look so cute like that, Kallen!"
"Euphy! I don't like this arrangement! Make this witch the sick one! She looks sick enough!" Kallen pointed her finger at the green haired girl.
"I'm sorry, but you've shown to the class that you're the sickly one. You can't change that." Said Euphy half apologetic, "But look at the bright side, you get to sit next to Gino for the whole year!"
Kallen blushed, "I-It's not that great okay! Besides, the happy one here should be her!" Again the red head jabbed her finger towards C.C., "She gets to be her rude self and sit next to her boyfriend!"
"Kallen, you shouldn't yell. People can hear you, you know." Said Lelouch chuckling as he looked up from his book. "And, I didn't know you had a thing for Gino. He's single you know, why don't you ask him out?"
"H-Hmph!" Kallen looked away as she stuffed her mouth with food.
"Anyways, the President had requested the three of you to join the Student Council. What do you say?" asked Lelouch.
"We'll join!" said Euphy as she clapped her hands together. "We will, right?!" She looked at her friends pleadingly.
"Fine, fine." Said Kallen and C.C. just shrugged.
"We are having a welcoming party for the three of you. It's what we always do to new members, meet me after school and I'll take you there." Said Lelouch smiling.
"Welcome to Ashford!" cheered the whole Student Council.
"Th-thanks." Said Kallen and C.C. just nodded.
"Thank you!" said Euphy cheerfully.
"So, C.C. You and Lelouch official already?" asked Rivalz.
Both C.C. and Lelouch looked at each other, then they looked at everyone.
"Well???" asked Milly waiting for an answer.
"We… haven't really talked about it…" answered Lelouch.
"O-oh… S-so! Euphemia-sama! How are enjoying your first day?" asked Milly laughing nervously.
"Please, call me Euphy!" the pink haired girl giggled.
"Alright then, Euphy it is! How's your first day here?" asked Milly cheerfully.
"It's exciting! I am very much enjoying it here!" Euphy clasped her hands together.
"Great! Oh, I forgot to mention this! Next week we are having a charity event, a ball! Be sure to attend all of you! With a date!" said Milly excitedly.
"I'm sure Kallen has someone on her mind." C.C. smirked at the redhead, "Don't you, Kallen? Say, that guy you were sitting with in class the whole day?"
Kallen shrieked, her gentle façade gone in a snap, Gino was next to her for the love of god, "C.C.!"
"What?" asked C.C. all the while smirking at her friend.
"Don't—you—asdfghjklkjhgfdsa!"
"I don't understand what you're saying, Kalley."
"W-witch!" shrieked Kallen.
"Gino! You don't have a date to the ball, right? Why don't you ask Kallen then? She seems very energetic!" asked Milly.
"Oh, sure! That is, if Kallen doesn't mind." Said Gino looking at the blushing red head.
"I-I-I don't…" said Kallen shyly.
"Cool!" said Gino giving her a thumb up.
"Well, then now that's settled! You can go home!" announced Milly.
C.C. sighed as she plopped herself on her bed, He didn't ask me…
Maybe he's nervous...
Oh great, you again.
Wha—Hey! I'm a part of you! Anyway! Go to bed already, maybe tomorrow he'll ask you.
Yeah, yeah. Bed time, bed time.
C.C. covered herself then paused, Where's Kallen? Ah well, maybe she went to sleep with Gino. C.C. smirked at herself. She then proceeded to go into slumber land.
C.C. was sitting on a hill, looking at the setting sun, "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes… yes it is…" said the man next to her. "Just like you…" He leaned in to place a gentle kiss on C.C.'s cheek.
"Charming, as always aren't we?" said C.C. as she leaned on the man's shoulder.
"Only for you, my dear. Come now…" said the man as he held out his hand.
They both walked away from the horizon and arrived at a fancy restaurant which seemed oddly familiar to C.C., the place was empty, only rows of elegantly decorated tables and chairs were present. They finally arrived at a corner and C.C. was sure she's been to that place once. The gold linings of the chairs and tables along with the gold utensils were very familiar to her.
"Have we been here before?" asked C.C. slightly confused.
"Have we?" asked the man back, his face was covered by the light and C.C. squinted her eyes.
"Who… who are you…?" she asked uncertain. All this time she had never bothered to ask but this time she was just pure curious.
"You know me, C.C." said the man smiling.
C.C. furrowed her eyebrows, "I do…?"
"Yes… you do…"
"I…"
"You know me… you just don't realize that it's me…"
"I don't…?"
"No, you don't…"
C.C. shook her head, "Tell me then… Who are you?"
The man chuckled and he held C.C.'s hand, "That's for you to find out on your own, my little witch."
C.C. gasped, the man let go of her hand and he disappeared.
