Author's Notes:
I was struggling with which character Lelouch should conquer first for quite a long time since I don't want an inexperienced Lelouch to conquer Suzaku. I do plan on writing this story as long as my inspiration and ideas allow me, being this is my first attempt on SuzaLulu stories. The main pairing will definitely be SuzaLulu and yes, they will probably do more than just kissing in later chapters, until that happens this story will remain T-rated, just to be safe. That's all for now, please enjoy this new chapter. Review after reading please? When should I make a grand entrance for our seme?
P.S. to pft980811 Yes, I do want to live and I hereby has fulfilled your heart's desire, this is Chapter 2, but a GinoLulu story. *grins evilly*
End of Notes…
Summary:
My name is Lelouch Lamperouge; perhaps you are much more familiar with the name Lelouch Vi Britannia. I only acknowledge my mother and my sisters as females in the 3-dimensional world. After spending years in the world of gaming and unwittingly I became known as a legendary player in bishoujo games, earning myself the title "Otoshi-gami" aka The God of Conquests. One day, an unexpected, pizza-addict witch whom she introduced herself as C.C. just barged into my life without permission.

Chapter 2: Entering the Fantasies of Boys' Love
Gino Weinberg, a high school student of First Year's Class A, ranked on the no. 33rd spot with a total score of 678. His results may not seem to be good enough for him to be in Class A but Weinberg is a noble and an honorable soldier who just recently is promoted as the Knight of Three in the Britannia's highest knights of honors, the Knight of Rounds**. Although Lelouch knows that it is actually just the father passing down the Knight position to their only child since Gino's father has reached retirement age**. As a member of the royal family, it is compulsory for each and every royalty to attend such grand ceremonies. It is just that this raven has a talent to be able to smooth a way from revealing himself to the public while convincing his parents that he attended all events.
"What makes a human targeted by an evil spirit?"
Lelouch may sounds like he is asking the question in curiosity but his mind is completely focused on the running game. The young raven may possesses a hidden third eye because he is perfectly and gracefully dodging every obstacle on his path. The witch finds this absolutely amusing to watch as she follows the contractor.
"Humans are sensitive creatures, man or woman. Each person has a weakness or a taboo which does not wish other people to know. When such event is triggered, the human's soul is not in one with the body, making a human's mentality at its weakest state… That is when an evil spirit enters the human body."
"It sounds like they will be just a person with two personalities… Doesn't sound like much of a big deal, witch."
"Little boy, you are too naïve and innocent to understand this serious matter. When the time comes by, I will tell you."
Lelouch steals a few seconds to glare in irritation at the green haired girl. No, Lelouch Vi Britannia does not like to be belittled, especially not by a freaky witch.
"Anyway, enough about evil spirits… How exactly are you going to conquer Gino Weinberg? It seemed to me that you have zero Ace cards in your sleeves."
"Ugh…!"
True, Lelouch Lamperouge may be known as the infamous Otoshi-gami but he never actually has any experience of conquering a dude before…not even in games. Anyways, this is the reason why he has brought C.C along to his favorite video game shop. He may begin by conquering a game character first before using his skills to conquer a real life character. Poor young man has to keep telling himself mentally that he is conquering a boy so that he does not wonders in the bishoujo game section.
Such torture!
Being a dude and to conquer another of the same gender is really difficult decision… Oh no, the torture does not just ends there. Upon arrival of the place, he is convinced…annoyed, to be more accurate (by the witch) to try his luck by sampling a few shonen-ai games, for he is being a complete newbie in boys' love, in hope that the experience will be enough for the young man to brace himself and conquer a man.
Else, he will definitely be waving his head goodbye in a week's time.
That witch… Is her mind filled only with the thoughts of pizzas?! She should have told me that each conquest's deadline is within a week ONLY!
Our main character actually makes the effort to return to the same store the next following day and adds up another double number of what he bought yesterday. He even grabs a few yaoi games in embarrassment, just to be prepared for the worst scenarios.
Three more days before he has to say goodbye to his precious head, the witch's everyday nagging has finally does the magic or maybe because Lelouch is tired of being irritated. In the early morning, Lelouch finally approaches his conquest target, Gino Weinberg with a light violet envelop nervously shoved into the handsome man's hands and an addition quick kiss on his right cheek.
When the next second comes by, Lelouch is disappeared from sight, leaving a blushing and dumb folded Gino whose mind is still wondering what just happened.
"Seriously, you conquered almost 20 guys in games and this is the best you can do?" C.C asks as she opens her third pizza box of the morning.
"Please shut up when you know nothing, witch…and for your information, I can see the ending." Well, Lelouch kun, it is not so convincing when your face is painted in faint color of red. C.C decides that she should keep that comment to herself.
Gino Weinberg was just a wealthy high school boy before he gained the title of Knight of Three from his father. He has a cheerful and friendly personality that makes everyone easily befriends him, of course he is a little too stubborn to change his character. Ever since he becomes the Knight of Three, his whole life is forced to change to fit his new title as an acknowledged member of the Knight of Rounds, the knights of the highest honors in Britannia.
His whole family is happy and proud of him and so are his friends in Ashford Academy. Yet, his duty as the Knight of Three is keeping him away from spending time with his friends while they continue to bond with one another or new friends.
Recently, there is a contagious trend going on in the academy…or it is actually just the teenagers raging, curious hormones… In High Schools, couples are commonly in sight everywhere you go, straight or gay is not a matter. The Knight of Three won't admit that he is jealous of his friends although he really, really is. Yet, he can't neglect his knight duties because he does enjoy them…and it is responsibility.
Lelouch is among the loners who are not bothered of what is trending in school although he always knows of what is always going on in Ashford.
"Ah, such teenage youth… Why can't you be more like them, Lelouch?" the girl munches on a slice of pizza as she watches the minimized figures far down below from The Garden of Eden's.
"I am not available," Lelouch declares flatly…
"You are truly living up the title of Otamegane…" C.C comments with a sigh.
"Stop making me repeat again and again… Shut up when you know nothing,"
The raven snaps in absolute irritation and saves his game since a certain witch has ruined his mood to continue his conquest on the 25th male character. He casually keeps the precious device into his pocket as he presses on the bridge of his glasses. C.C merely stares at the thin and feminine figure until Lelouch walks out of the door, then the witch return her attention back to her pizza in peace.
"Lelouch Lamperouge," an unfamiliar voice called.
Finally!
Lelouch smirks in victorious, knowing the owner of this voice. Faking a surprised expression, the raven immediately turns around, with his own pair of amethyst orbs meets upon the other person's pair of azure orbs. When he sees much of anticipation and affection in those clear azure eyes, the raven unconsciously blushes and his heart skips a beat. Of course in the next minute, Lelouch's mentality is repeatedly declaring that he is not obviously gay and he loves girls (in two-dimension) and girls only.
"G-Gino," Lelouch calls nervously, the next second when he realizes how girly he must have sound to the other person, he wants to slap himself badly.
"I…err… I…well…err… T-thank, thank you for your letter,"
"You…you're welcome…" the raven turns his gaze away as he can't bear looking at the person in front of him. The obvious blush on the Britannian royalty's face gives an impression of shyness, at least it is what that is interpreted in Gino's mind.
"I…well, I am quite surprised, you know?" Gino gives a gentle smile as his hands too, are gently holding onto Lelouch's dainty hands.
"…?!" Being absolutely stunned by the man's sudden action, the raven's mind is in complete blankness with only one thought: Am I in the position of a submissive here?
"Ever since I became the Knight of Three, I've been missing a lot, school events, regular outing with friends… I even got kicked out of the fencing club because of the long term absence," Gino says softly, a hand caressing the raven's soft cheek. "When I thought I will be saying goodbye to my high school life soon, you just approach me so suddenly…"
"Gino…" the raven calls out the name softly, yet not knowing what to say.
"I am overreacted, is that what you had in mind? I guess I am but I am just happy that there is someone still remembers me as Gino Weinberg,"
As soon as the blonde finishes his speech, he tilts the raven's chin up a little and presses his lips onto the softer ones after an appreciated whisper of "Thank you". Lelouch is rather slow to return to his senses until the second after he got his first kiss stolen. However, he is further stunned when he sees a thick cloud of white smoke being forced out from Gino's body and is vacuumed into a gigantic empty jar which is hold on by a certain green neon haired witch.
"Good job, Lelouch." With a cork trapping the spirit within, C.C immediately disappears back to The Garden of Eden's with the minimized, contained jar.
The second the evil spirit is exorcized (a term preferred by Lelouch) from Gino's body, the raven has no other choice but to carry the unconscious (and very heavy too) body to the health center**. Unfortunately our main character is not very macho and to reach the health center from the High School building will definitely require quite a long distance of walking. Lelouch is neither a big fan of building muscles nor does he like long distance walking. Exposing himself under the hot sun is absolutely a big NO to him.
What have I done in my past life that I deserved such horrible punishment?
The moment when Gino finally wakes up, evening has approached. The blonde is absolutely surprised to find himself in a bed in the health center although he does not recall feeling under the weather in the mornings…
"What happened after I arrive at school?" Gino asks himself as his memories are all hazy and unclear. He eventually gives up when his brain screams migraine the moment he recalls a second of kissing scene involving an unfamiliar pair of soft pink lips.
"Are you alright, Gino kun?" asks an unfamiliar woman's voice.
"No…my head feels like it is going to explode."
"There, there… Just lie down and relax. I'll get you some painkillers." The doctor gently helps the patient to lie down on a comfortable position before going through the cabinets to retrieve two tablets of painkillers and also pour a glass of water for him.
"Miss, do you know how I get here?" Gino asks almost immediately after he consumes the medicine.
"Honestly no, I was busy treating a student with acid burn. I only saw you when I approach to this supposed-to-be empty bed for the new patient over there; you were already lying comfortably on this bed, soundly asleep."
"I see…thank you."
"You should enjoy more, Gino kun. I know knight duties are important but you only live once and you only have a chance to be teenagers."
"Yes, I understand, thank you." In appreciation, Gino gives his best smile.
Meanwhile, the hero is isolating himself from the world and is enthusiastically playing 2 video games at the same time. No, he is conquering two male characters. Apparently, his unprofessional uke behavior during his conquest on Gino Weinberg has triggered his determination to be more dominant in his next conquest.
"Why are you being so worked up of being the submissive in a relationship? In the end of the day, your dating memories will be gone as soon as you chase the evil spirit out of their bodies anyway." C.C enquires as she finishes her tenth box of pizza of the day.
"I have a pride, as a man!" Lelouch states firmly.
"You should really take off your glasses and look carefully at your own reflection."
"Oh, will you just shut up, witch!"
"Then you should consider going to a gym and do a little sun bathing."
"No thank you, I do not like the disgusting of smell of sweat, whether the smell comes from my own body or from others nor do I enjoy being under the exposure of those blazing ultra-violets, in danger of any the chance of getting skin cancer!"
Oh Lelouch, you are such an uke.
