A/N: This idea popped into my head while at work today. I couldn't wait to get home and write it down tonight. I hope you will enjoy it. Takes place in the winter between season 1 and R2 of Code Geass. Will contain confusing spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen R2.
An Expected Gift.
It is Christmas Eve 2017. Ashford Academy was a ghost town; most of the student body was away visiting the motherland of Britannia to celebrate the winter holidays with their families. Only a handful of students and faculty remained behind at the school. One of them was Lelouch Lamperouge. Lelouch had spent much of his holiday haunting the halls, just wandering around, marveling at the Area 11 School building in Christmastime. It wasn't as different here then Christmas had been in Britannia; though Lelouch could remember exactly why he thought this, he only knew that the white clean snow and brilliantly lit trees were a familiar and welcoming sight. He reveled in the quiet beauty that filled the hallways. With the students gone for the next week, there was a peace to the school that he had never witnessed before now.
Lelouch continued down a long corridor, thinking of what he would get from his younger brother, Rolo, this Christmas, when the large clock tower in the center of the school chimed in the twelfth hour of the evening. The sudden noise had spooked Lelouch making him jump at the sound. He relaxed after the second chime and by the third; he could no longer hear it. He looked out the window at it, it was Christmas morning.
Bong!
Suddenly Lelouch was grabbed from behind and a blindfold was placed over his eyes.
Bong!
Firm hands pressed on his chest, pinning him up against the wall.
Bong!
"Who are…?" Lelouch began to ask, but was cut off by lips against his own.
Bong!
The brief kiss ended and the restraining hands disappeared.
Bong!
Pulling the blindfold off Lelouch remained where he was, staring mutely after the kiss thief as he ran down the hallway. Until something in Lelouch's mind clicked and he began to chase after the lip lock bandit.
Bong!
Lelouch followed him into a balcony of the third floor. Positive he had cornered his attacker; Lelouch took his time in approaching. Unfortunately, the thief didn't stop; instead, he hopped up onto the ledge and jumped off. Lelouch quickly rushed to the ledge.
Bong!
The lip crook was all right, he had landed in the grass, rolling in the snow and stood up, harmless, trekking his way in the snow to the exit. With his heart beating wildly Lelouch took a deep breath and formed a cone with his hands over his mouth, to help carry his voice, and shouted; "MERRY CHRISTMAS! SUZAKU!"
Bong!
The figure down below paused, turned and looked up to the balcony, at Lelouch. Though his was too far away to see clearly the figure seemed surprised at hearing the name. But Lelouch was confident that it was Suzaku. He knew only one person who could move that fast and jump off a third story balcony and land safely on the grass below; someone he'd known a long time ago. Someone he missed dearly.
Bong!
The figure responded by creating his own hand made cone before turning away and speeding off into the night.
"Merry Christmas, Lelouch!"
End.
