Lelouch Lamperouge had several good qualities. He got decent grades, a charming personality, and acted like a very caring person. However, he was still young, so he was lacking in responsibility. However, his age was hardly an excuse, considering how irresponsible he had become, when it came to his living room. Lelouch's bedroom already had an infamous reputation, for being messy. However, his living room had become a bigger problem. He had several bags of expired chips, old cookies, breadcrumbs, donuts, toys, and papers, which were scattered around the floor and couch. There were some stains on the walls and ceiling. The living room's table was broken in half and most of the chairs were old and broken. Lelouch didn't have that many guests, so he didn't feel the need to clean the living room.

Lelouch's best friend, Suzaku Kururugi, tolerated Lelouch's messy living room, before it became a total disaster. However, there was one day, where Lelouch was on the phone, and he told Suzaku how messy it had gotten. Suzaku had very passionate and expressive feelings, concerning this matter. He insisted, that Lelouch clean the living room. Suzaku even offered to assist Lelouch. Lelouch thought Suzaku's idea was for the best. Because of that, the two young men started cleaning Lelouch's living room. In the past, Lelouch had taken advantage of Suzaku's kindness, by having him do a majority of this work. However, Lelouch started feeling guilty, so he did a majority of the cleaning, this time.

After Lelouch and Suzaku finished cleaning the living room, Lelouch looked around, to see how clean it was. He had become used to his messy living room, so a clean living room was a nice surprise. It hadn't looked that good, in years. Lelouch shook Suzaku's hand and said, "Thank you for your help, old chum."

Suzaku replied, "No problem, Lelouch. I'm sure C. C.'s going to notice and appreciate this cleaner living room."

Suddenly, Lelouch realized that C. C. had never been to his house. C. C. had autism. She was Lelouch's girlfriend, and she considered Lelouch the only person that made her feel fully comfortable. Despite that, she mostly just wanted to hangout, when she and Lelouch were at school and when they went to a nearby store. She felt very nervous and shy, about going on actual dates. Although they had been on a few dates, C. C. still felt uneasy and uncomfortable, when it came to going on dates. Lelouch looked back at Suzaku and said, "Believe it or not, C. C.'s never been to my house."

Suzaku was very surprised to hear this news, because Lelouch and C. C. had known one another for a few months. He asked, "Is her autism the reason that she hasn't been to your house, or is it because of your messy house?"

Lelouch answered, "If C. C. had wanted to come by here, I would have cleaned this place up, a few months ago. I've told her about my house and hinted I've wanted her to visit. However, she's so shy. I don't think she'd be comfortable, about coming here."

Suzaku replied, "I can understand feeling that way, at first. However, you two are dating and you're in love. Because of that, she should feel comfortable, about coming to your house. Has she let you visit her house?"

Lelouch lightly smiled and responded, "Yeah, it's quite the house. She has an entire collection, of 60's Batman merchandise."

Suzaku put his hand on Lelouch's shoulder and said, "I hope C. C. starts feeling more comfortable and safe, especially when she's with you."

Lelouch replied, "Thank you, Suzaku. Things haven't been perfect, but we've been making progress. C. C. used to be uncomfortable, with me looking at her or talking to her. Now, she's my girlfriend, so progression is beyond good."

The next morning, Lelouch went to Ashford Academy. He waved to his friends and talked about cool stuff, before walking to C. C.'s locker. He gently put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Hi, C. C."

C. C. faced him and gently replied, "Hi, Lelouch. It's good to see you."

Lelouch responded, "It's always a delight, to see you."

C. C. blushed and said, "Thank you."

Lelouch said, "I have good news."

C. C. asked, "What?"

Lelouch answered, "I cleaned my living room."

C. C. asked, "Isn't that something you do, on a monthly basis?"

Lelouch had an embarrassed look on his face, while saying, "I'm afraid that's not the case. I often act like a slacker, when it comes to cleaning my house."

C. C. asked, "Why?"

Lelouch said, "I usually don't feel the need, for that kind of stuff. I'm not the type of person, who sees value in houses, that are so clean, organized, and fancy. Suzaku's a great friend, but he has a pretentious house. It has paintings, that are way too fancy and decorations, that are bland dribble."

C. C. replied, "I see."

Lelouch said, "Speaking of seeing houses, you've never seen my house."

C. C. nervously replied, "That's quite the fact, Lelouch."

The first bell rang. The students only had five minutes, to get to their first class. C. C. looked at Lelouch and said, "We better get going."

Lelouch replied, "Okay then. I'll see you later, honey." C. C. shyly nodded. Lelouch quickly kissed her cheek, before heading to class. C. C. also started heading to class, while her cheek blushed.

During class, Lelouch and Suzaku finished their assignment. Because of that, the two friends started talking. Suzaku asked, "How are things going, with C. C.?"

Lelouch said, "Okay, although C. C.'s still reluctant, about visiting my house."

Suzaku asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lelouch spent a moment, to think of an answer. He said, "I think I have a plan, that'll make things easier."

Suzaku asked, "What is it?"

Lelouch started telling Suzaku the details, of his plan. The classroom's teacher was Diethard Ried. Diethard was a former broadcaster, who was upset about losing his dream job. Because of that, he acted a bit grumpy, when he was in his classroom. He heard Lelouch and Suzaku talking. Suzaku rarely spoke during class, but Lelouch spoke, at a frequent rate. Because of that, Diethard became impatient and upset. He gave Lelouch a disapproving look and said, "You were talking during class, for the hundredth time. You need to be punished, Lelouch. Get away from your desk."

Lelouch replied, "If you say so." Diethard grabbed Lelouch's desk and threw it out the window. Lelouch had a surprised look on his face, while asking, "Why did you do that?"

Diethard answered, "Because detentions haven't been enough, to stop your antics."

Lelouch said, "I was just talking." Diethard scowled at Lelouch, before walking back to his desk and staring at his old news-camera.

During lunch, Lelouch and C. C. sat at the same table and talked to one another. C. C. often felt too nervous, to start a conversation. Because of that, it was up to Lelouch, to come up with a topic of conversation. Lelouch told C. C., about the awkward desk incident. After that, Lelouch looked at C. C. and said, "I think I'm going to celebrate my clean house, by having pizza-filled dinner. I'll put in effort, to not fling pizza on the couch and floor. I know pizza's your favorite food and you've never been to my house, so this seems like the perfect day, for you to visit my house."

C. C. took a long pause, before speaking. She felt a little fuzzy and nervous, while saying, "I guess I could come by."

Lelouch gently held C. C.'s hand and replied, "Things are going to be okay, C. C. It'll just be the two of us and you trust me, don't you?"

C. C. answered, "Of course I do."

Lelouch asked, "Do you feel comfortable, when you're with me?"

C. C. looked down, while saying, "There are times, where I feel like hiding myself. However, there's nobody I feel more comfortable around, than you."

Lelouch lifted C. C.'s chin up and replied, "I'm happy about that, because you're the love of my life."

C. C. spoke in a quiet tone of voice, while responding, "You're the love of my life." Although C. C. was whispering, Lelouch heard her. He leaned in, to kiss her. C. C. accepted the kiss. Both of them blushed, while feeling great.

After school, Lelouch and C. C. walked out of the school, while holding hands. They both noticed how upset Principal Ashford was. His car had been wrecked, thanks to a desk. Principal Ashford looked at some of his employees, while asking, "How did this happen?"

Diethard had a sly smile on his face, while saying, "Lelouch Lamperouge is responsible, for this incident."

Lelouch could hardly believe what Diethard was saying, while asking, "What are you talking about?"

Diethard looked at the Principal, while saying, "As usual, Lelouch was being a pesky troublemaker, during class. I did a great job, at being a teacher. I was teaching the students several things. However, Lelouch refused to finish his assignment and he was starting to teach Suzaku, about how to be a bad student. I tried to stop Lelouch's antics, but he refused to listen. He threw his desk out the window."

Principal Ashford said, "If that's the case, how come you didn't tell me about this?"

Diethard straightened his tie and tried to look like a responsible citizen, while saying, "I'm such a dedicated teacher, that I would never leave my class, even if an emergency happened."

C. C. usually stayed quiet, when she had something to say. However, she couldn't tolerate her boyfriend being framed, so she walked closer and said, "That's not what happened. Lelouch had already finished his assignment, so he and Suzaku started chatting. Diethard was being so grumpy and impatient, that he threw Lelouch's desk, which landed on your car."

Lelouch looked at the Principal and said, "My innocence can be proved, by you checking the security tape."

Diethard put on a fake mustache and said, "I have to throw the tape away, before Lelouch gets his clutches on it." He twirled his fake mustache and did a villainous laugh. He tried to run to the place, where the tape was. However, Lelouch grabbed him and held onto him, while the Principal got the tape. After finding out what happened, the Principal gave Diethard a pay cut. Diethard shook his fist, while Lelouch and C. C. walked away.

Lelouch looked at C. C. and said, "Come to my house, at six p.m. By then, I'll have the pizza ready. We're going to have a great time."

C. C. replied, "Okay."

Lelouch said, "You deserve to be thanked, for standing up for me, when Mr. Ried tried to frame me."

C. C. replied, "I didn't do anything impressive."

Lelouch said, "I know it's hard for you, to express yourself. I'm honored you got over your shyness, so you could defend my innocence." He kissed C. C., before walking away.

Lelouch went to a nearby pizza place. He walked to one of the employees, who asked, "What do you want?"

Lelouch said, "A couple of pepperoni pizzas."

The employee replied, "Get out of here, dude."

Lelouch raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The employee said, "I'm tired of people ordering pizza. I know this is a pizza place, but we have other things, like sodas, breadsticks, and other crap."

Lelouch replied, "Please let me order what I want."

The employee sighed and responded, "Okay then."

After Lelouch got the pizzas, he went home and started cooking the pizzas. Lelouch never had a strong reputation, for being a good cook. However, his cooking skills had gotten better, after he started trying. He used to make mediocre food, that he usually dropped. Thankfully, he was able to cook the pizza, without slapstick.

Eventually, C. C. arrived. Her hair had been combed. She was still wearing her school uniform, because she feared about not fitting in, if she wore fancy clothes. To her relief, Lelouch was also in his school uniform. Lelouch opened the door and had her come inside. C. C. was in Lelouch's house, for the first time. She looked around and saw how clean it was. Lelouch's broken table had been replaced, with a new table, that was in decent shape. The old and worn-down chairs were gone and had been replaced, with chairs, that were modern and clean.

Lelouch asked, "What do you think of my house?"

C. C. shyly answered, "It's pretty nice. You were right, about it being clean. Everything looks nice. I'm proud of you."

Lelouch said, "Aww, you're such a cutie." C. C. smiled, while nervously blushing.

Lelouch pointed to a plate, which had a few slices of pizza. He said, "I got plenty of pizza, for you." He pointed to the couch and asked, "Will you sit down and have dinner with me?"

Lelouch and C. C. sat on the couch. C. C. looked excited and her mouth started watering, because of the pizza. Lelouch handed her a plate. C. C. started gobbling up pizza. Lelouch ate a few slices of pizza, while C. C. ate eight slices. After she had finished eating, she had a lot of stains on her face. She used a napkin, to wipe them off. She had an embarrassed look on her face, while saying, "I'm sorry. I was so excited, because of the pizza, that I wasn't being very careful. Also, I ate more of the pizza, than I should of."

Lelouch replied, "It's okay, C. C. After all, this is a celebration."

C. C. looked confused, while asking, "What do you mean?"

Lelouch said, "This is the first time, that you visited my house. That's something worth celebrating, in my opinion. Let me ask you something: How do you feel, at this moment?"

C. C. took a small pause, before saying, "I was expecting to be scared and feel uncomfortable. After all, I barely feel comfortable, about being around my fellow students, in the hallway. Right now, I'm at my boyfriend's house, for the very first time. I always felt uneasy, when you asked me to come here. I also felt scared, when I was on the way here. However, I feel more comfortable, than I was expecting. As always, you're so inviting and comforting. Also, the pizza tastes awesome, as always."

Lelouch looked at her and replied, "I'm really glad, that you feel that way. I love you so much and I've been excited, to have you come over. I often worried, that you would never agree to come. I feel honored, to finally have you here."

After giving C. C. a hug, Lelouch asked, "How about dessert?"

C. C. said, "I'm okay. After all, I ate too much pizza."

Lelouch replied, "Okay then. How about we watch a movie?" C. C. nodded. Lelouch asked, "Is there any specific film, that you'd like to watch?"

C. C. looked like an overjoyed fangirl, while answering, "The 60s' Batman film!"

Lelouch replied, "Okay then." C. C. resisted the urge, to dance like Batman, while Lelouch got the film ready. The two of them watched the film. They were having so much fun and we're enjoying their company so much, that they felt a little sad, when the film was over. C. C. had remembered, that there were two animated films, that were based on the 60s' Batman show. It was already eight-thirty, so Lelouch and C. C. only watched a half hour, of the 2016 animated film, before turning the TV off.

C. C. looked at the clock and saw that it was nine p.m. She had been at Lelouch's house, for three hours. She spent more time, at Lelouch's house, than she was planning. She usually paid close attention, to what the time was. However, she had been ignoring the clock, because she and Lelouch were having such a great time. She looked at Lelouch and said, "I need to go home."

Lelouch replied, "Actually, I have an idea."

C. C. asked, "What is it?"

Lelouch said, "Well, when I planned this night out, I didn't think everything through, because I was too excited, to think properly. You could spend the night at my house, if you want."

C. C. nervously replied, "I don't think that'd be a good idea."

Lelouch said, "You don't have to, but you could sleep on my bed and I could sleep on the couch. It's getting late, so I don't want you to have to go all the way home, especially because it's so dark out."

C. C. replied, "First off, I'd prefer to sleep on the couch. Second off, I couldn't spend the night here. I didn't bring any pajamas."

Lelouch responded, "I have pair of pajamas, that I've never worn. Plus, tomorrow's a school day and you're wearing your school uniform, so you don't have to worry about tomorrow's outfit."

C. C. felt confounded, about what to say. Although she was feeling very shy, she was also very tired and she felt a surprising amount of comfort, from being at Lelouch's house. She nervously said, "Okay then."

Lelouch was glad, that C. C. accepted his offer. After brushing his teeth, Lelouch gave C. C. a pair of pajamas. Lelouch went to his room and started getting ready for bed, while C. C. went to the bathroom and got on a gray t-shirt and yellow pajama-pants.

After C. C. finished getting ready, she returned to the living room. Lelouch walked up to her, while wearing a black t-shirt and red shorts. He said, "You look very cute."

C. C. replied, "You're one to talk."

Lelouch hugged C. C. and said, "Thank you, for staying here. I love you and I'm so overjoyed, to have you here."

C. C. replied, "I feel the same way, my love. Thank you for always helping me out, no matter how hard I try to hide."

Lelouch said, "I want you to do whatever you want, but you can't accomplish that, if you hide from the things, that make you happy."

C. C. replied, "Nothing makes me more happy, than you. Because of that, I'm planning on not hiding."

Lelouch gave C. C. a big kiss, before saying, "Goodnight, honey."

C. C. replied, "Goodnight, my love." C. C. laid on the couch and put some blankets on herself, while Lelouch went into his room and started laying on his bed. During the night, Lelouch and C. C. had much happier dreams, than usual.

The next morning, Lelouch got out of bed, because he heard a bunch of water-related noises. He looked at his clock. It was six a.m. He was used to waking up at seven a.m., so he was surprised, by the noise. It took him a few minutes to get out of bed, because he was acting a bit lazy.

Lelouch went to the living room and saw C. C., who was using a towel to dry her hair. C. C. said, "Good morning, Lelouch."

Lelouch replied, "I'm surprised that you got up at such an early time."

C. C. said, "Well, it is a school day. Besides, I'm used to waking up, at the same time, no matter the circumstance. You better start getting ready."

Lelouch replied, "I usually don't need that much time, because I usually only take a shower on holidays."

C. C. responded, "That's not the wisest shower-schedule, Lelouch."

Lelouch said, "Fair enough. After all, I have a guest, so I need to be presentable." He went into the bathroom and noticed that a few things were missing. He asked, "Where's my towel?"

C. C. answered, "I'm using it. I'm sorry."

Lelouch replied, "No need to be sorry, but I don't know what I'm supposed to use."

C. C. walked to a closet and opened it. The closet was full of towels. Lelouch said, "I forgot I had all these towels. I only use one towel, so I forgot about all my other ones."

Later, Lelouch and C. C. sat at the kitchen table, while eating breakfast. They ate some toast and cereal. C. C. started drinking some milk, while Lelouch asked, "Did you have a nice night?"

C. C. answered, "Yes, your couch is very comfortable. You have a very pleasant and relaxing house, in general. Thank you for inviting me."

Lelouch held C. C.'s hand, while saying, "You're welcome. We didn't finish those Batman films, so you should return, after school."

C. C. nervously replied, "I don't know That seems too soon for me to make another visit."

Lelouch responded, "C. C., it's never too soon for you to come by. You are invited here, whenever you want. To prove that, I got you a little present." He put a key in C. C.'s hands. Lelouch had given her a key to his house.

C. C. had a guilty look on her face, while saying, "I'm not worthy of having a key to your house. After all, this is my first visit."

Lelouch replied, "C. C., you usually only feel comfortable, when you're by yourself. I want you to have another place and be with a person, who make you feel comfortable. What do you think of that?"

C. C. smiled and answered, "I couldn't think of anything better." She hugged Lelouch, while saying, "I'll come back here, after school. In fact, I think I'll visit you on a regular basis."

Lelouch said, "That sounds wonderful." He kissed C. C., who felt overjoyed and excited that she had become a part of Lelouch's world.
