Chapter 3: Recovery
Lelouch wasn't in school the next day. When the time came for the student council to discuss yet another issue about prom (this time, the music), Suzaku settled himself into his seat.
Shirley turned to him. "Where's Lulu?"
"Probably still at home. I went to go see him yesterday and he had a really nasty fever."
Milly raised an eyebrow. "What'd you do?"
"We watched I, Robot and he fell asleep. I asked Sayoko to take care of him."
"That's all?"
"Yeah."
Milly raised an eyebrow. 'Yeah, right. I'll bet something went on between those two. I'll ask Sayoko later.' She put on a serious face. "All right, back to the music. What songs do you guys think we should play?"
"I like Time is Running Out by Muse," Kallen said.
"How about Leave Out All the Rest by Linkin Park?" Nina shyly suggested.
"Snow White Queen by Evanescence is pretty good," Rivalz said. "Actually pretty much anything by Evanescence is good."
Everyone sweat-dropped.
"My favorite is Black Balloon by the Goo Goo Dolls," Shirley admitted, blushing.
"And my favorite," Milly finished. "Is If I Was Your Vampire by Marilyn Manson. Suzaku, you haven't told us what your favorite song is. Will you tell us?"
Suzaku, who had been spacing out again, suddenly snapped his head up to attention. "Oh, um, i-it's Thunder by Boys Like Girls."
That song in particular had a special significance in his life. It brought back memories of the day when Lelouch had been revealed to him as Zero. Sure, his favorite song had sadness behind it, but afterward, he had managed to forgive Lelouch for what he had done. It also symbolized that Lelouch cared for him, in a way. So it was his favorite.
But no one in the student council knew that these were the reasons why that song was his favorite. So everybody sweat-dropped. Again.
"Ok..." Milly tried to hold in her laughter. "So, after a really weird prom committee meeting, I guess it's adjourned. Ja ne, guys!" She wrote down the suggested songs for the track listing at prom a on a clipboard with a pencil and then darted out the door. 'Time to ask Sayoko what went on between Suzaku and Lelouch.' She smirked.
But on her way out, she bumped into someone. Someone who was really thin, with a mop of silky black hair. Someone who was also staring down at her as she landed flat on her butt with glowing amethyst eyes.
Startled, Milly blew a stray strand of corn-yellow hair away from her eyes. "L-Lelouch?!" she asked. "What are you doing here? We thought you were sick. I mean, Suzaku told us you had a fever last night."
Lelouch smirked, offering his hand to her. She took it. "Yeah, I was sick last night," he answered. "But I feel so much better now, so I decided to come back to school. I was back this morning."
Milly blinked, clearly confused now. "But then, why weren't you at the prom committee meeting?"
"Prom committee meeting? Huh. I must've forgotten that I was on prom committee 'cause I've been out for so long."
"Yeah and I'd be willing to bet that Suzaku thought you were still at home sick because he didn't see you come in today." 'Kuso, now I'll never be able to ask Sayoko what went on between those two last night.' She glanced at him. "So, who are you asking to prom?" she asked casually.
"Huh? Oh, I don't know. I like someone, but I'm not sure if they like me back, so I'm really not all that sure."
"Oh, really? Who?"
"I'm not telling."
"Oh, COME ON!!!!"
"Bye, Milly."
"Huh?! Lelouch, you get back here! LELOUCH!!!!!!!"
