2. Coke

[[ That uniform you're wearing
So hot I can't stop staring ]]

The other day in gym, while everyone else suffered under the sun, Lelouch was sitting in the bench drinking a coke.

He was.

Villeta-sensei was off sick, and he managed to persuade the substitute teacher into letting him skip the class.

We all went to the tennis courts to play assigned matches and hopefully do not die of sunstroke, while he stared at us from the sweet, cool shadow, with his hope you all have a great time little evil grin. The bastard.

So, when I finished my assigned tennis match, I sat next to him and snatched the can out of his hand, taking a swig. Lelouch then made the most perfect 'ew' face.

He said, "You could have bought yourself one. Give that back, jerk."

"You're the jerk. I was dying back there and you can't even share." I gave the can back, and got hit in the face with a towel. "Arigatou."

It got quiet after that.

The sweet taste lingered and I licked my lips. From the corner of my peripheral vision I saw him taking a sip and glaring at the world just the way he always does.

And then he flushed and coughed and one of his hands flew to his mouth for a second, before he stood up, ready to leave.

"Lelouch, what-"

"Nothing. Nothing. Just- Ew."

He walked away and the coke can was left forgotten on the bench, half-full, half-empty.

And then I understood.

-

"Stupid, stupid Suzaku and his stupid, stupid indirect kisses."

[[ And now the pressure's rising
My coke has got no ice in now ]]


Busted's Air Hostess. Does anybody else loves it when Suzaku talks in Japanese? I do. Anyways, I'm smelling continuity soon in in the future.

But for now, I just love random drabblets like this. Give ideas, people.
