Thread: â THE PERFECT C O U P L E { RP & MINA }

Pulling Suzaku to his feet Lelouch resisted the urge to repeat his question. No more damage need be done to Suzaku??s pride, he told himself, relaxing a bit as it became more clear that none of Suzaku??s bones were broken. His hand lingered on Suzaku??s as he caught his balance, so lightly that when he reached for the towel it simple slipped past his fingers with out a trace. No one seemed to notice, or if they didn??t held it up to being nothing to out of the ordinary for the pair. He tried not to glare at the rest of the team, letting concern override blame for the time being. As Suzaku started to move across the field he followed, at first only planning to walk him to the gate?.then it was to the bottom of the hill?.then halfway to the locker room. And before he knew it he??d crumbled, and fallen into step besides the other boy as they neared the locker room door. ??It was nothing,? he said in reply to Suzaku??s thanks, holding the door open for him. ??I??m just glad you??re alright?.? Suzaku might be seriously hurt, he told himself. He shouldn??t be left alone just minutes after having the whole soccer team play an unintentional game of ??Dog Pile on the Rabbit? with him as the unfortunate Leporidae. But regardless of his perfectly reasonable logic it was a weak excuse at best, and Lelouch knew it. Suzaku didn??t actually need Lelouch??s supervision, or help. All his rationalizations about concussions and shock didn??t really mean anything at all. He was being selfish. The locker room was empty, the rest of the team either being held for the rest of the hour or avoiding having to face Suzaku again Lelouch really couldn??t care what kept them as long as it lasted, so the large tiled room was quiet except for their footsteps. As Suzaku pulled his shirt off Lelouch quickly turned away, walking stiffly towards the rows of lockers that ran perpendicular to the showers, and in general getting out of Suzaku??s way. He sat down on one of the benches that ran between the lockers, resting his elbows on his knees and focusing firmly on the floor. He??d left his bag up at the field, for a moment considering it as a viable excuse to get away, and final letting it go. Nothing important in there but his cell phone and English homework, at least one of witch some fan girl would enjoy returning to him sooner or later. He was here now, anyways, might as well stay. Behind him the sound of the water turning on could be heard, echoing off the walls and floor, and a moment later the rhythm changed to suggest Suzaku had stepped under the stream of water. He smiled a little, eye still closed, picturing that wonderful vision. Suzaku, clean, mud-covered, embarrassed, proud, happy, sad, was easy the most beautiful thing in Lelouch??s eyes so one couldn??t really blame him for?.imagining. Right? Right? And it was so easy besides, in his mind??s eye he could easily see himself standing, moving towards the sounds of running water. Pushing back the plastic drape?. His eyes opened, snapping his mind out of wherever THAT was about to lead. ??Damn it,? he muttered, finishing in silence with ??now is not the time or place??. But?.He??d wrap his arms around Suzaku??s wet shoulders from behind, almost resting his chin on the boy??s shoulder to catch the unavoidable look of shock on his face. But in Lelouch??s fantasies Suzaku never stayed like that long. The other boy would relax against him, letting his lips brush across the smooth skin at the nap of his neck with only a quiet whisper of his name in prot- He almost hit himself that time, for letting his mind get back to that. Making the quick decision that it was best he left and wanting very badly to first bang his head against the locker and then drench himself in cold water on his way out he stood up and stepped away from the bench. ??Suzaku, I??m going!?? He didn??t dare get any closer to the showers, remaining closer to his seat and thus forcing himself to yell. His voice sounded awkward, and he hoped that Suzaku wasn??t listening carefully. And with that he turned and fled for the door.
