Audacity chapter 8
*I have had a rather small amount of feedback when it comes to this specific story, the number of hits and visitors have remained consistent throughout however, I fail to see any sort of response from the community. That aside in case you're too stupid to realize this, this entire chapter is from Shirley's perspective, so consider that your heads up… Unless of course you're too dumb to read the author's notes… And in that case, while I can't blame you, you're pretty dumb for ignoring useful information*
I was dreaming. I knew it was a dream but I couldn't control it. It took me places and made me see things that I would've not chosen to look at or to be near, it wasn't uncomfortable it just didn't make sense.
I sat there and started at Lelouch in a world of white; at first this wasn't too odd as far as dreams go. However less than 10 seconds after I began looking, he literally split into two people, sort of like how a cell would divide. One Lelouch was the mirror image of the other one, the only difference was what they said along with their body language.
"Hey Shirley, what shaken?" asked the Lelouch on the left. I blinked twice not knowing how to respond.
"Lulu?" I directed at both of them. The Lelouch on the right simply sat there looking thoughtful while Lelouch on the left smiled manipulatively.
"Which ones the real one? Or are we the same?" both Lelouch's asked at the same time in perfect unison. They spoke again together as one. "Does it matter to you?"
"You both can't be Lelouch… at least not at the same time." I responded with feeling, oddly confident with my logic.
"Very true so you determined one of us is not the original… good." Lelouch on the right spoke individually this time. The Lelouch on the left sighed heavily.
"Now that takes out most the fun, you basically eliminated half the options." Their next words were once again spoken the same time.
"So how about we just tell you a secret?" I nodded in confirmation, and as a response Lelouch in the left began walking towards me. However I was unable to see what would happen next for I was awoken by a blinding light. My mind zipped back to the real world as I realized the sun had come up, and a single yet strong beam of light shone just upon my closed eyes. I adjusted my head so that I could open my eyes clearly.
I immediately noticed I was not in my own home: I was still in Lelouch's room. I then looked down and noticed myself only wearing a tank top that was stretched to the limits by my breasts as well as a pair of pants that, while they were slightly too long for me, hugged my curves a little too tightly. I felt a blush flood my cheeks as I realized.
These are Lelouch's clothes… And this is his bed, so where is he? I scanned the room and it took me but a moment to see him softly sleeping on the couch. I smiled feeling a warm sensation in my chest.
I must've fallen asleep… So he slept on the couch and let me stay in his bed. I yawned loudly and as a result of this action Lelouch began to stir. To be honest at the time, the last thing I wanted to do was wake him up when he allowed me to sleep previously.
"Oh you're wake." He said sleepily "Sayoko should have your uniform washed and dried by now; I figured you wouldn't want to go all the way home just to get a new one." I sat there unable to respond immediately, baffled by the fact that he would think so far ahead just for me.
"T- Thank you Lulu…" I swung my legs to the edge of the bed and stood, only to sit back down after I got a head rush from standing too quickly. After my world stopped spinning I looked up at Lelouch again. Only to realize that he was staring intently at me.
What, do I look funny or something? Or is he… Ogling me? Another blush crept its way up into my face as I considered this option. He had already shown he had a monstrous amount of restraint and respect for me during the shower incident, which I couldn't help but blame on myself.
Then some of his words rang in my head again. 'I will… But not like this, when we are both ready I will.'
Does this mean he wants me? I really hope so. How about a test then? I stood up again this time slower than the first. Slowly and deliberately I began to lean forward and stretch, purposely revealing an enormous amount of my cleavage while leaning forward, the low-cut of the tank top assisting me greatly.
Glancing upwards I noticed his eyes were glued to me, his left was twitching rapidly as if he was trying to suppress something. It was strange, it was a scary feeling to know that I had this effect on him, however at the same time it made me feel important- so wonderful. Another idea rolled into my mind.
"Hey Lelouch?" My question causing him to glance upwards away from the show. " Did Sayoko wash my underwear as well?" I wasn't wearing any at this time. Knowing how smart Lelouch was I was sure he would put two and two together and realize that. His response was flustered, very unusual for Lelouch.
"No I uh- I should have… Should have thought about your underwear more…" He face Palmed realizing what he had said. "I mean I should have thought about that more and had those washed as well." He turned his head in a weak attempt to hide his blush. I giggled lightly.
"It's okay I have some extras in my locker. So why didn't you wake me up to walk me home?" His blush faded slightly and his words became soft and caring.
"You looked so peaceful there sleeping, I figured if you woke up I could still just walk you home. But other than that I just wanted to let you rest." The warm feeling in my chest amplified several fold, as I determined to myself that he did genuinely care about me. Fighting back the extreme embarrassment I forced myself to ask the question that had been gnawing at the back of my mind since yesterday evening.
"So Lulu…" I paused to build up steam and confidence. "Does this mean we're going out now, or something." My muscles were somewhat tense and I couldn't keep my gaze anywhere but downwards. I heard him laugh, he did this for a good 3 seconds, and during that time I had begun to think I'd made a fool of myself.
"If you ask me it does…" He confirmed "Why, you don't want to?" I panicked and quickly tried to put a hold on any thoughts that might advise that I was not interested.
"N-no, that's not it, I really want to." I blushed heavily this time, feeling it go all the way to my ears. I continued looking down, and while doing this I didn't notice him get up across the room and over to me, where he then embraced me openly. The embrace was firm but gentle as well as warm. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered deeply.
"That makes me happy… I can't wait spend more time with you, Shirley." I shivered, I absolutely loved it when he did that, it made me go weak at the knees and it fogged up my mind pleasantly. Lelouch then broke me from my blissful stupor by sliding his hand up and cupping my chin. Gently and slowly locking his lips with mine. The kiss was slow… All the warmth I could imagine, he directed towards me with this simple action.
Unfortunately after several seconds of this both of our bodies required air, and we pulled apart. Well he did, I tried to lean into it more as he pulled away. His arms tightened around me as he slowly rubbed my lower back with one hand. Knowing that there were no illegitimate intentions I allowed this happily and snuggled my head into his chest.
"We need to get ready for school soon…" I groaned not wanting to leave the situation we were in. Regardless of this, I pushed away reluctantly and move to pick up my clothes off his desk. I couldn't help but have a naughty thought go through my mind I shook my head to clear myself of this. Taking my uniform into the bathroom and deciding I could just wear the same underwear for now, I shut the door behind me to get changed.
"I'm going go on ahead, I need to pick up some stuff for class." I heard Lelouch say through the door. "See you later today!" he declared emphatically as I heard his bedroom door shut signifying his departure. I quickly stripped myself down and changed into my uniform, putting the used clothes inside the hamper beside me.
I have to go find the Prez and tell her about this. Feeling a surge of girlish giddiness as I raced out both doors, out of Lelouch's room, down the hall the of the student Council building and into the student Council room. I looked around finding no one. Not letting this stymie my excitement I dug in my pockets for my phone and clicked on Milly's number.
"This is Milly!" came Milly's cheerful response after only two Dial tones.
"Madam President! Can you come to the student Council room? I want to tell you something in person."
"Having boy troubles or something?" I ignored her teasing.
"No the opposite actually." I replied happily, but despite this she continued to tease.
"Oh… So it's girl troubles, I didn't know you swung that way." At this point I become flustered and struggled to quickly correct the misconception.
"No it's about me and Lelouch-" I was cut off by Milly's excited squeal.
"You two are finally going out!" I fidgeted in place happily.
"YES!" unable to contain any bit of my giddiness I continued "hurry up and get here!"
"I will. Be there in five."
This is great! I thought she'll be able to give me loads of advice on what to do in when on a date and stuff! I then slid into the computer chair and spun in circles impatiently until she arrived ready to gush over all things that pertain to a relationship.
