Chapter 6: Confession

Pray for the lives lost and the people injured at the explosions in Boston.

XxXxXxXxXx

Lelouch walked to his room in total silence. His shoulders down, head down eyes looking into the ground looking like he was defeated.

"Welcome back Lelouch, I see that you haven't change your ways still ditching club meetings I mean." CC says still in his room lying on his bed with empty pizza boxes scattered around her.

Lelouch not only ignored her comment but also her presence and sat down on the edge of his bed.

"I hope you don't mind but I ordered some pizzas with your credit card." She says waving his credit card in her hands.

Lelouch stayed silent.

"Did something happen?" CC asks knowing that Lelouch didn't stay quiet like this unless something big happened.

"Yeah, something did happen." He murmurs.

Flashback

"I'm going to ask Kallen out."

Lelouch eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets. "Y-you're going to do what?" Lelouch whispers barely inaudibly.

"I'm going to ask Kallen out." Suzaku repeats.

Lelouch could not believe what he was hearing. "You're going to ask Kallen out? T-this is a joke right?"

Suzaku closed his eyes knowing this was going to be hard for Lelouch to listen to.

"No Lelouch, I'm not joking." He opens his eyes which were now filled with determination. "I've liked Kallen for a long time now, yet I didn't know how to handle the situation because we have been friends for so long. But now I'm going to stop being a coward and I'm going to tell her my feelings."

"Suzaku, do you have any idea of what you're saying?" Lelouch asks trying to suppress his anger.

"I do. I also know of your little incidents with any of Kallen's suitors. I know if anyone's crushing on Kallen and finally muster up the courage to confess to her you would do anything in your power to stop them. So I'm telling you now Lelouch don't try to stop me."

Suzaku finishes walking into the building leaving a stunned Lelouch in his place.

Lelouch was shell-shocked from what he just heard and after a few moments of silence he finally found the strength to walk away.

End Flashback

"So that's what happened." CC states feeling for the young man.

Lelouch was back to silent mode.

"So what are you going to do now?" CC asks. "Knowing you, you'd probably already stirring up a plan in that head of yours."

"It's not that easy this isn't some random person from school this is Suzaku we're talking about. I can't stop him like I've stopped everyone else."Lelouch says defeated.

"I don't get it Lelouch if you really like Kallen that much why don't you ask her out yourself then?"

Lelouch gets up quickly. "I DON'T LIKE HER THAT WAY!"

CC was unaffected by Lelouch's yelling and rolled her eyes. "Right like you didn't make that obvious."

Lelouch sat back down. "I'm sorry that I yelled it's just I'm very stressed out right now and… and I don't know what to do." He finishes sadly.

CC gets up from the bed and heads to the door before leaving she says. "You will think of something Lelouch you always do."

"Thank you CC. What about you, are you going patch things up with Mao?"

"Well maybe. My problem looks a lot simpler than yours right now so I think I'm going to be fine." She answers leaving the room.

Lelouch was able to give out a small smile happy that CC was supporting him in his 'mission'. But that smile soon leaves him when he realizes something.

"Wait are you going to get rid of these pizza boxes or not!?"

Next day at the clubroom

Lelouch attempted to distract himself with a good book but couldn't help to think of his situation at the moment. In the room Milly, Rivalz, Nina and Shirley were all present but Suzaku and Kallen have not arrived yet. He soon began to worry.

Are they alone right now? What if Suzaku already confessed? What if they're out on a date or something? If that Suzaku is out with Kallen right now then I'm so going to… Lelouch dark thoughts took a pause as he closes his book and lets out a sigh. He stands up from the chair he was previously was sitting on and walked around to stretch his legs. He takes a glance at the window and makes a double-take; outside the clubroom were Suzaku and Kallen face to face to one another. Both standing still and Lelouch couldn't tell if they were speaking or not.

"What the…" There both outside. He's going to confess today? At this very moment, in front of the clubroom?

To Suzaku and Kallen.

"Why did you call me out here, Suzaku?" Kallen asks the teen. They were standing about 5 feet facing one another.

"Kallen, I-I…

Back to Lelouch.

Lelouch was still looking out at the window. "Hmph. You're not very smart are you Suzaku? I can easily be able to stop you after getting down to there." Lelouch says talking to himself and sprints off to the doors. Milly notices Lelouch's panic and attempted to stop him.

"WAIT!" Milly yells using her body to block out the door. "I'm not going to let you stop them Lelouch. I know you always get in the way of Kallen's suitors but Suzaku deserves to let Kallen know of his feelings."

She knows? Does everyone know? "I don't have time to explain myself to you." Lelouch says quickly with a glare as he rushes to the room's other door but was immediately stopped by Rivalz and Shirley who were blocking the door.

"Rivalz!? Shirley!?"

"Sorry Lelouch. I can't say no to the Prez." Rivalz explained.

"Traitor!" Lelouch accuses and then glances at Shirley. "But what about you Shirley why are you trying to stop me?"

"Lulu it's cuz I… I…" Shirley shut her eyes not able to bring herself to finish.

"Um, can't we come to an agreement?" Nina says trying to keep the peace in the room.

"My time is being wasted by you guys." Lelouch runs back to the window and opens it. "HEY SUZAKU, KALL-MMPH!"

Lelouch's yelling was interrupted by Rivalz when he jumped on his back and covered Lelouch's mouth with his hands.

To Suzaku and Kallen.

Kallen looked at the direction of the window wondering what the noise was.

Suzaku also looked at the same direction. Damn, that must have been Lelouch. I only got a limited time to do this.

"Kallen!" Suzaku said trying to get back her attention.

"Yes?" Kallen says standing up straight as if a staff sergeant called her name.

"I know that you and I have been just friends for the longest time but-,"

Back to Lelouch.

"Sorry bud, I just can't let you stop them." Rivalz says helplessly trying to keep his hold on Lelouch.

"Keep at it, Rivalz!" Milly cheered.

Lelouch struggled to take the clingy Rivalz off him. Lelouch then shoulder throws Rivalz off his back and to the ground.

"OW!"

Everyone was quite in shock that Lelouch was physically able to throw Rivalz.

"Whoa where did Lulu find the strength to do that?"

"Damn it, I might already be too late." Lelouch says looking back at the window.

"It's over Lelouch." Milly stated. "You don't have enough time to run all the way down there and there is nothing you can say or do from up here that can stop Suzaku now." Milly finishes smirking.

Lelouch gives out his vintage evil smile. "Then I'll bet everything on this one move." He says climbing out the window and jumps off. Yes he really did jump out the window.

"Wait Lelouch this is the second floor!" Milly yells out at the falling Lelouch.

Luckily Lelouch fell on some bushes but still made a loud thud sound when he hits the ground.

Suzaku and Kallen heard the noise from Lelouch's fall and they turned their attention to his direction.

"Ow, ow, ow." Lelouch could not get up for the pain from the fall was too much.

"Oh my god, Lelouch are you ok!?" Kallen rushes to Lelouch's side in a second realizing that Lelouch fell from the second floor window and helps him sit up.

Lelouch winced in pain. "I-I think I'm not dead yet." Lelouch stated aloud more to himself than to Kallen.

"How the heck did you fall in the first place?" Kallen asked concern in her voice.

"Oh you know me. I saw a butterfly stuck on the window and when I tried to save it I fell." Lelouch fibbed hoping that she would buy the lie.

"You're such a fool, Lelouch." She sighs. "I'm just glad that you're ok." Kallen wraps one of Lelouch's arms around her shoulders and helps him stand up. "Suzaku come help too."

Suzaku walked slowly to the two. "Right." He replies also helping Lelouch to walk.

They walked to the school's infirmary with Lelouch being helped or carried by the two. Lelouch takes a peep at Suzaku at his left shoulder and Lelouch could tell that he was trying to hide his anger from Lelouch for interrupting his confession. I was able to stop Suzaku from confessing for now. Lelouch then takes a peek at Kallen. And it seems that Kallen is oblivious to the whole situation. Good now all I have to do is to keep things how they are right now.
