Chapter 5: Stomach-Fluttering Vibes
Lelouch sat in the classroom. His head had been spinning since the night before, due to the fact that Sayoko had told him that Milly had been to visit, since, supposedly she was "worried about him." He had tried thinking of every single damned possibility as to what the crafty little blonde witch was up to, but his mind remained completely blank.
'Damn her,' he thought moodily, staring out the window as the rain poured from the sky. 'There's no telling what she's planning or what Sayoko told her. I have to get to the bottom of this before it gets out of hand.'

"Hey, Milly?!" Suzaku yelped as the blonde gripped his arm tightly, pulling him in the direction of an unknown location. "Where are we going?"
"Shut up!" Milly focused a stern gaze upon him. "You'll attract attention if you keep yelling like that."
"Well maybe if you weren't holding onto my wrist so tightly...."
"Whoops. Sorry, Suzaku." Milly loosened her hold on Suzaku's wrist. She grabbed the nearest door handle and ushered Suzaku into the room, shutting the door behind her. "Sit," she demanded, gesturing to a chair.
Suzaku sat, a sick feeling making its way into his gut. "What's going on?"
Milly perched on top of the table across from him. "I should be asking you the same thing...."
"What do you mean?"
"Lately, you've been acting really weird," the blonde replied in a musing tone. "Is it anything that you want to talk about? I mean, you only act like this when you're around Lelouch."
"What do you mean? How have I been acting weird?"
"Well, for one thing, you're really spacey. You sit in here whenever we have one of our meetings and stare out the window. But when Lelouch is here, you snap to attention. But whenever he isn't here, you seem to get really down. So, what's the deal, Suzaku?"
Suzaku exhaled softly. "I have a secret," he murmured, shifting his gaze to the floor. "But if I tell you, you can't tell anyone."
"Ok. I won't tell." Milly crossed her fingers behind her back.
"Do you promise?"
"Yes, I promise."
"Ok, fine. I'm.... I'm..." Suzaku stuttered and then blurted, "I'm in love with Lelouch, okay?! I want to ask hi to prom, but I'm too shy!"
"I wish you'd told me sooner," Milly's voice was soft, but determination soon crossed her features. "We've only got a week to make this work, but we'll do it! Come on, Suzaku!"
Suzaku felt his arm in Milly's clutches once again. "Huh?! Milly, where are we going?"
"To get some work done!" The blonde opened the passenger door to her car and told him to hop in.

Lelouch found a yellow rose hanging from his locker the next morning. Tied with a red ribbon to the rose's stem was a note with scalloped edges. One word was elegantly etched in dark green ink:
Prom?
