Since I already did the edits on the 2 chapters of the main fic pertaining to a certain LuluKallen interaction, I might as well fix this one crack so that it can realign with the other chapters lol. Because yes, this started as a crack, but then I realise I shouldn't really have 'them' crossing that line too soon. Still, the crack's still too precious so I just have to make it even better.
Because innocent Lelouch is very PRECIOUS.
Chapter 8.995 Bathroom Breaks
Ne... how about a bath?"
"Eh?"
For some reason, the way Lelouch just jumped at her every word amused her greatly. And it didn't help when his complexion was also getting redder after every minute. Kallen continued to stare at him as Lelouch seemed to be able to notice her amusement.
"Together? Eh—No! I mean—"
Kallen giggled again as Lelouch kept jumping like a timid rabbit.
"If you insist—"
That last comment made his face turn bright red in an instant as Kallen laughed.
"Oh my god, Lelouch, you're so hilarious right now. And I thought you're not the type to be affected by this," Kallen grinned as she flaunted her body towards him. "I mean, you barely reacted before! Back then when I had to clean myself after you poured champagne on me and that other time with Shirley..."
"Those things had no relation whatsoever!" Lelouch cried out. "And mind you, that time when we're both inside the bathroom as you showered... I never once take a peek at you. And that other time when Arthur pulled that unfinished dress Shirley made for you... t-t-that time—!"
Kallen leaned closer towards him, as Lelouch wondered if his cheeks could feel any hotter. "What about that time? And are you sure you never took a peek at me before?"
Kallen grinned. "But then again, it's not like it mattered. Since you did get a look at me anyway when I pulled the shower curtain aside without thinking that time. And you did get another eyeful the other time as well."
Lelouch covered his face with his comforter before groaning loudly. "Fine... you win that argument. But why did you have to remind me about that now?"
She just shook her head cheekily. "No reason actually. But really, we might as well have a bath together now. Since the opportunity presented itself!"
"W-wait... Kallen!"
"Come on," she exclaimed again before pulling the covers off Lelouch. "Let's do it before the weather gets colder—" she said again as Lelouch screamed a second time. Kallen let out a sigh as she started dragging Lelouch from the bed. And it so happened, Lelouch's bedroom has an adjoining bathroom. Which made it quite convenient for the both of them.
"Don't be so stubborn, and you'll need my help anyway to wash properly..." she said again as Lelouch continued to protest loudly.
Meanwhile, no one outside was ever aware that there was quite a loud commotion happening inside Lelouch's bedroom since Kallen had a mind to lock the room after last night's events.
To be fair, I'm not against Lulu being portrayed as quite proficient when it comes to expressing his feelings, or just love in general. But hey, I can't see him being completely oblivious or immune by it either. Then again, our Lulu... don't exactly actively pursue these kinda things and most of the time due to circumstances, he did end up bottling everything inside anyway. So with that kind of headcanon, my portrayal of Lulu would've been affected by this. And hopefully, you guys would still like him in this series till the end.
And no... not REALLY gonna turn him into a sort of 'damsel' in distress mode all the time. Just dragging him out of his comfort zone, regardless of what... that supposed to be. Also, no. This wasn't a desperate attempt to try baiting people to send reviews... but those are nice too.
