((I don't own the Beatles, as a disclaimer. xD))
Suzaku sat glumly in his room, his tiny laptop sitting on his thighs. He was checking his Facebook, something he did almost every night. He clicked through statuses manually, hoping to find something of Euphie's to comment on.
There was a post from Rival on his wall.
euphie shirley and i are going to see a movie after school tmrrw. wanna come?
Tomorrow? Tomorrow was his first meeting with his tutor. Right after school. God damnit.
"cnt :(" was his simple reply. He checked his email next. There was one from Viletta. And his tutor, who was...
Lelouch? Lelouch Lamperouge? That skinny kid who used to be his friend before Suzaku made better friends? The one who everyone thought was definitely a homo?
Fuck, this day kept on getting worse.
oooooooooooooooooooooooo
Every subject.
Really? Suzaku needed help in every single subject? Lelouch thought he'd better get payed a lot for this. The boy was more stupid than he thought. Or maybe he wasn't stupid, he just didn't try. At all. Ever.
"Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to strawberry fields~"
The Beatles were Lelouch preferred choice of music before school. He was always there early, and before the first bell rang at 7:45, you were allowed to use electronic devices in the halls, so Lelouch had his white ear-buds firmly planted in his ears. "Strawberry fields forever~"
Lelouch stood by his locker, flipping through his iPod for more Beatles. He settled on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Wasn't that song supposed to be about LSD? Oh well, who cares. It's still good music.
A clattering sound that he could hear through his music made him pause the Beatle's voices. Lelouch looked up to see a harried-looking Rolo picking up scattered papers. The junior was crouching down, trying to gather them all up. Lelouch crossed the hall to help him out. "Oh- uh...thanks, Lelouch." Rolo's pink eyes looked up at him, a light blush crossing his pale face. "No problem. It sucks when that happens." Lelouch crouched down as well, helping Rolo gather up his various science papers. "What are these all for?" He asked, honestly wondering. Rolo looked pleased at another opportunity to talk to him. "They're all different papers that I wrote for extra credit in Chemistry."
Lelouch laughed a bit at that. "You of all people don't need extra credit in that subject." He stood up, handing the collected papers to the boy opposite him and brushing off his black sweater. Rolo smiled. "I guess not, but..." The 7:45 bell cut him off, and he sighed. "I gotta go turn these in to Mr. Asplund. He wanted them before eight, so...bye, Lelouch." Rolo waved, heading off, his arms full of papers. Lelouch smiled a goodbye and put away his iPod, waiting for the usual trickle of students that came in around now, namely Suzaku Kururugi, whom he was waiting for.
oooooooooooooooooooo
These sneakers needed to be washed.
The ratty, used-to-be-white-but-are-now-gray colored sneakers, like most of Suzaku's things, had been owned by the Japanese boy for about four years. His jeans, tattered and torn, also needed to be replaced. His shirt was new, though. New meaning about half a year old in Suzaku-lingo.
Suzaku ran a hand through his chestnut hair as he entered the school, orange backpack slung over one shoulder. He had to find Lelouch, to arrange how they were going home together.
Ew. Going home together? That made it sound like...nevermind, Suzaku didn't want to think like that.
Ah, there he was. Suzaku approached the black-haired boy, clearing his throat. He felt a creeping feeling of awkwardness in the pit of his stomach, crawling up to his throat to make awkward sentences bubble out. "Uh, Lelouch?" When he was younger, it took him a while before he was used to calling people by their first names right from the get-go. In Japan, you always called them by their last name first before moving on to their first name only if you were really close.
Lelouch turned around, his very Brittanian purple eyes set on Suzaku's green orbs. "Yes? Oh, it's you. We'll be driving back to my house after school." He said it in such a business-like way that it took Suzaku aback. "Oh...okay. Gotcha. See you after school, then...uh..yeah, bye." Inwardly, Suzaku wanted to kick himself for being such a damn awkward turtle. He turned on his heel and briskly walked away, dreading after school when he'd have to endure what would most likely be a long drive with Lelouch.
oooooooooooooooooooo
