Kiss No.2.a. – Same Question

Three a Day by angelcloudy

Is she my girlfriend?

The question bothered him since it popped into his head. Every time he'd see, or even just catch a glance of something related to her, the question would charge at him and hit him square on the face. Heck, even seeing the red glow of his digital clock reminds him of her auburn locks. Anyways, they're current status was completely a blur to him. Technically, they weren't a couple – he didn't ask her to be his girlfriend, and she didn't ask him to be her boyfriend. But to speak logically, they were. Judging by their closeness and treatment after the accidental kiss, other people viewed them as an item.

There's no doubt though, that it would be awkward to ask her, "Are you my girlfriend?" He'll just embarrass himself and paint his face red after the whole ordeal. Come on, what if she says "No, I'm so not your girlfriend!" But still, Lelouch needed to know, or else, he'd go crazy thinking about it, about her. But then again, how in hell would he ask?

The jet haired teen had been thinking of it for a full twenty minutes already. Instead of thinking of Zero things right after waking up, memories of yesterday filled his mind. Curses! But at least, he'd see her later today as Kallen the resistance fighter. The thought of it brought a small smile upon his troubled face. Who would've thought that the incident at the truck could bring him closer to the apple of his eyes? Not to mention closer to his dream of revenge.

Revenge? The word changed his face back to its almost always miserable look. Lelouch was instantly taken to a state in the verge of crying. "Mother…" he softly said, while glancing at one of the pictures on his bedside table.

"Mother, I love this girl, I hope you watch over me so that I won't mess up," he said, determined, yet pleadingly. He swung his legs to the side of the bed, and his feet landed on the floor, searching for the white slippers he uses at home. Half-awake, he proceeded with his morning rituals.

School – a place Lelouch forever hated until it became a home. He sure didn't love it with all his heart but then, when she came, it went all better. And now that he was part of a deal so exciting, school, wasn't, as he used to call it, crap to deal with from Mondays to Thursdays. He came out of his and Nunally's wing when the glorious day began. Why glorious?

"Good morning, Lelouch!" she chirped. Kallen waited outside his wing so that they'll be able to go to the academic building together. Early morning dates are so nice, aren't they? During the entire walk, the redhead talked to him unstoppably about this Zero guy that she and the other members of the resistance are supposed to meet up with. Lelouch kept on smiling, knowing that she was ranting about a guy who walked side by side with her. Aside from that, he was happy that she can be this open to him. It was rather evident in her tone of voice that she trusted him with her secret. Not because there was a deal, but because they were friends.

Once they got to the academic building, they bid each other goodbye. But before the two made separate ways, Lelouch gave her a quick peck on the cheek. The gesture made Kallen blush at once, and her face became even redder when he said, "There's two more left for today!" as he waved his hand, walking backwards away from her. He was smiling, the unusual genuine smile people rarely see on him. Kallen returned a sweet one. The time she did so, he turned his back to her and began walking properly.

All of a sudden, a girl squealed, as he heard from a distance. He was sure, the source of it was a friend of his… GAH! WHAT IS SHE TO HIS LIFE AGAIN?
