Lelouch woke up early in the morning yet again. Knowing already what he would to do this morning.
He got up and got dressed. Then he went to grab some money that they had.
He sat by Nunnaly waiting for her to wake up. After twenty minutes of waiting she did.
"Onii-sama" she asked as she felt a presence sitting beside her.
"It's me Nunnaly, I wanted to tell you I'm going shopping for some food for us" he said quitly and she nodded as he picked her up and put her in her wheelchair.
"Don't take to long onii-sama ok?" she asked.
"I won't" he promised as he kissed her forhead and left.
Lelouch was walking down the street looking at all the little places where he could buy food.
He brought enough money to buy food for the rest of the week and so he thought of what Nunnaly might want to eat.
All of a sudden four boys surrounded him. Lelouch knew they knew he was Britanian.
"Hey look it's that little Britanian kid who decided to move to our land" said one of the four kids.
"Yeah why don't we teach him how it is to live in Japan" said another one.
Then one of them grabbed him by the colar and started to drag him towards an ally way.
They got him their and the one dragging him their threw him to the ground and they all started to kick him.
After a couple minutes they quit kicking Lelouch and left him alone in the ally way.
Not being able to move he laid there in pain staring at the sky. He started to cry witch was something he never liked to do becuase it showed weekness and he had to keep up his act and also be tough for Nunnaly. Right now he was alone though no on to see this weekness and no Nunnaly to be worried for him.
'Mom I miss you so much' he thought, 'I wish you could be here to help us'
He then started to think of his mother and their memories from before she had passed.
After ten minutes of lieing there crying and remembering th past, he got up and continued shopping.
He got all kinds of food he knew Nunnaly would like that could last then the week.
As he walked up the long stairway to the shrine he wondered how many times he would have to go through what he went through today. He didn't care though as long as his sister was fine. He wouldn't let anyone else have her or help her, because they could trust no one here. Although he wished that wasn't true it was and he had to live with it. Of coarse he needed help also but he didnt want to take the chance that something might happen. So he did it all on his own. All he needed was to see his sister happy and smiling to keep him going.
He opened the door to their home to find Suzaku keeping Nunnaly company.
Suzaku had a smile and looked up at Lelouch but that smile quickly faded as he saw all the cuts and bruises on his body.
"Onii-sama, I'm glad your home!!" yelled a cheerful Nunally, "Suzaku kept me company while you were gone."
"Hey what..." Suzaku was about to ask something but was aleady being dragged towards the door before he could ask it.
"Suzaku can I talk to you outside, now" Lelouch said a little coldly.
Suzaku knew that the only reason Lelouch was saying this was so Nunnaly knew he was going to talk to him because even if he didnt agree he would have been dragged out the door. Unless he used strength against Lelouch witch he wouldnt use of coarse.
"What happened to you?" asked a worried Suzaku as Lelouch dragged him towards the closest tree away from hearing distance.
"Some guys decided to attack me as I was shopping" answered Lelouch as if it was supposed to go that way.
"Are you okay? We should tend to your wounds" Suzaku said as he tried to drag Lelouch back to the house.
"No!!" Lelouch yelled and got free from Suzaku's grasp.
"Why not?" asked a surprised Suzaku.
"I dont need your help!!" Lelouch yelled back.
Taken aback by the answer he was given Suzaku stood there in silenece as Lelouch sat down under the tree. When he finally registered what was said he went towards the house. Lelouch just sat there and wached the brown haired boy turn around and walk back towards the house.
'Is he still mad about when I beat him up?' Suzaku asked himself, 'I geuss I never asked if he forgave me.'
Suzaku went into the house and ran up the stairs to find the first aid kit he kept up there when it was his room. Once he found it he ran back down the stairs to have Nunnaly stop him.
"Suzaku where is onii-sama?" she asked with a worried expression on her face.
"Um.. well he is outside helping me do something I was asked to do" Suzaku said feeling bad he was lieing to Nunnaly but didnt want her to worry, 'We will be right back."
"Okay then just please dont take to long I miss my onii-sama" Nunnaly said with a bright smile.
With that Suzaku ran out of the door towards the tree he left Lelouch at. When he got there mere seconds later he so Lelouch sitting under tree resting his eyes. He looked Lelouch up and down.
'I could so mistake him as a girl' Suzaku thought to himself, 'I mean all you have to do is get rid of his guy voice, guy clothes, and amd guy attitude he would look just like a girl.'
Lelouch opened his eyes as if he knew Suzaku was their. When Suzaku noticed Lelouch was staring at him he sat down beside him and opened the first aid kit.
"I said I dont need your help so go somewhere else to share your 'kindness'" said Lelouch now glaring at Suzaku evily.
"No your hurt and the wounds need to be treated" replied Suzaku not even taking notice in Lelouch's glare.
"What dont you get about me not wanting help from you!?" Lelouch yelled now very frustrated.
"Does this have to do with me beating you up the first time we met?" Suzaku asked as he started to wrap the bandage along Lelouch's arm.
Lelouch didnt answer. He didnt even know if he actually had forgiven Suzaku for that. It's only been a week since it happened anyways. But Suzaku did he think he had forgiven him. Of carse he has had fun with Suzaku but this has nothing to do with that. When they play its that childish Lelouch witch isnt the one Lelouch wants to be. He does though slip up every once in a while, more often round Suzaku witch was odd but had that led Suzaku to believe that he forgave him?
"The only reason you have been acting the way you were acting around me was because of Nunnaly wasnt it?" Suzaku asked saddened by the idea.
"Yes, I wouldnt have even let you near me if Nunnaly hadnt wanted to know you and trust you" Lelouch said coldly.
"I see" said Suzaku in saddened tone.
Lelouch could hear the sadness and wished he had said nothing about this. Suzaku was almost done with his wounds now ad moved towards the cuts on Lelouch's face.
"That doesnt mean that I am not slowly forgiving you though" Lelouch said looking towards the ground.
At this Suzaku smiled widly, "So this means I have a chance?"
"Yes, dont count on anything though" Lelouch said softly still looking at the ground.
"Well I wont give up" Suzaku said as he stood up done with the wounds.
Lelouch got up and walked with Suzaku back to the house.
As they got back inside they sat by Nunnaly to keep her company.
After a while of siting and talking inside with Nunnaly they went outside.
"Do you want to play tag Lelouch?" asked a happy Suzaku. Lelouch and frowned andstared at him.
"Why not go onii-sama" Nunnaly said smiling.
"Sure" Lelouch said unenthusiasticly.
Nunnaly sat and listened as Lelouch and Suzaku played.
Of course they werent playing hard since Lelouch was still hurt.
They were just running playing tag. Though this time Suzaku was it the whole time going extremly easy on Lelouch.
When it started to get dark they sat down on the porch and laid back to look up at the stars.
Suzaku started to tell them the names of each of the stars and their stories.
After Suzaku finished with every last one it was late so they put Nunnaly to bed.
Then Lelouch and Suzaku went back and layed down on the porch again. They stared at the stars for a little why longer till Suzaku broke the silence.
"Next time you need to go shopping I'll go with you, ok" Suzaku said while sitting up.
Lelouch sat up next to him a little tense at the idea.
"Sure" he finally agreed then put a soft and short kiss on Suzaku's cheek, "and thank you."
Suzaku blushed wildly not able to say anything. Lelouch finally realized what he did.
'Shit, I let my guard down,' Lelouch thought, 'I have to keep acting and not let this happen again or he will find out my secret!!'
"Suzaku?" asked Lelouch.
"Uh... um... why did you... do that?" asked Suzaku the blush still visble on his face.
'Shit I have to think of a lie' Lelouch thought, 'Um... I'll tell him its something we do in Britania.'
"What do you mean I just thanked you" Lelouch said trying to put a questioning and innocent look on his face.
"Well you kissed me" Suzaku said staring at Lelouch.
"So thats how we thank each other in Britania" Lelouch said hoping that Suzaku would belive his lie, "Do you not do that here?"
"Well we do but only with people we like" Suzaku said still blushing.
"So you dont like me?" Lelouch asked looking towards Suzaku.
"Well I do but we only do that when you love someone, that kind of like" Suzaku said looking away so Lelouch couldnt see him blushing.
"Oh, ok, Im sorry" said Lelouch laying back down.
"It's fine you didnt know" Suzaku said layng next to him.
They laid in slince again looking at the stars beauty before Suzaku broke the silence once again.
"So I guess Im doing good" Suzaku said with a big smile on his face.
"What do you mean by that?" Lelouch asked confused.
"Well today you hated me and now your giving me kisses to thank me" Suzaku said while chuckling.
"The only reason you think your doing good is because i thanked you it doesnt count as kisses" Lelouch said now staring at the other boy still laying down.
"Whatever they are still kisses to me and anyways you thanked me thats a big step" Suzaku said as his smile grew bigger.
"Fine think whatever you want to think" Lelouch said now looking back up at the sky.
They laid in silence for another five minutes till Lelouch stood up.
"We should get some sleep" he said and helped Suzaku stand up.
"Your right, I'll see you tomorrow then" said Suzaku as he brushed off his clothes a little.
They said their goodbyes and went their seperate ways.
Lelouch walked inside his home quitly and got dressed into his pj's.
'That was close' he thought, 'I have to be more careful with my secrets, luckily he bought that 'britanian way to say thank you' crap.'
With that he laid down and fell asleep right away.
