Chapter Four

Bet

Lelouch sighed as he leaned back on the bench. Of course Suzaku was late, had he really expected something different? They had agreed to meet up half an hour before the movie started, and it was now five or so minutes before the movie was to begin.

So Lelouch sat there fuming and imagining all the wonderfully abusive words that he would bestow upon the brunette when he did show up. The movie had just started seating when Suzaku arrived in his old, beat up truck and jogged over to where Lelouch was seated.

"Sorry I'm so late," said Suzaku apologetically once he had jogged over, "There was this HUGE accident on the highway."

And all the mean, abusive things Lelouch had intended to yell at Suzaku vanished from his mind as Suzaku smiled at him abashedly. So instead Lelouch gave a small smile, rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go before we miss the entire movie."

Suzaku grinned at Lelouch's mock exasperation, grabbed his wrist and flew into the theater to grab seats.

Suzaku's eyes were glued to the screen as victim after victim was mutilated by the monster. How in the hell had Lelouch talked him into watching this? Suzaku had voted for a comedy or chick flick but Lelouch had insisted that the horror movie would be much more entertaining.

Shooting a quick glare Lelouch's way, Suzaku hissed angrily, "You're enjoying watching me almost shit my pants aren't you?"

Lelouch smiled and, without glancing away from the screen, answered, "I find that you are extremely adorable when uncomfortable."

"Well, that's very nice of you," retorted Suzaku, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Lelouch chuckled at Suzaku completely unaware that he had done so during yet another murder scene.

"This movie is evil, Lulu," complained Suzaku still unable to stop watching.

"Its better than having to listen to you bawl your eyes out to some cheap chick flick," said Lelouch, amusement coloring his voice.

"I so would not start crying," mumbled Suzaku indignantly, crossing his arms and pouting at the screen.

"Really," asked Lelouch, doubt showing clearly in his voice.

"Yeah, really," returned Suzaku still pouting cutely in his seat.

"Care to bet on it then," Lelouch asked playfully, staring at Suzaku's pouting face with amusement.

"Sure, why not? Sounds like something I could easily win," said Suzaku, grinning at Lelouch in the darkness of the theater.

"If you're sure, but if I do just happen to win, you will have to do anything I tell you to do for an entire day," Lelouch said, smiling evilly, already planning that promised day out in his head.

"Well, seeing as I'm going to win, you are going to owe me a free dinner at a restaurant of my choosing," returned Suzaku, his smugness showing on his face.

"Alright," agreed Lelouch, "but I get to pick the movie."

"Okay, you're on," laughed Suzaku, having completely forgotten the horrors of the current movie.

Euphemia glared at the back of Lelouch's head. She was sitting in the back of the theater trying to bore a hole into Lelouch's head with her baleful gaze.

She had over heard their plans to go to the movies, shaking with a jealous rage at the mention of it being a date, and had raced ahead of Suzaku, looking for some way to stop him for getting there. She had run several red lights, causing the mother of all accidents to build up in her wake.

Still, Suzaku had managed to arrive, and the two had proceeded to watch their little movie regardless of her titanic efforts.

"He's mine! He was always mine! You lost him the day you let your mother break his heart," fumed Euphy to herself.

She needed to remove Lelouch from the picture; if he were gone, then she would have Suzaku all to herself.

It was just like one of those comical "light bulb" moments. The idea of getting Lelouch out of the picture laid the foundations of a plan.

Grinning in the gloom, she began to formulate her scheme to the sounds of people dying horrifying deaths. Suzaku would be hers!
