Dear You..

No, perhaps he just wasn’t one for the sentiment at all. The more he thought about it, the less he became attracted to the idea. “Ah, I don’t know— maybe Yusuke did? From the looks of things, my room does seem like the biggest.” In reality, his poor taste in interior design just made his room look spacier than the rest. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, C-ta flattened out the sheets on the other end.

"This is a cute doll, C-ta-kun~" She giggles a bit, and before long she turns her head at C-ta's statement. He looked like he was telling the truth, so it seemed a little puzzling to her.

"But C-ta-kun is very nice to me... C-ta-kun even let's me sleep next to him when I can't sleep myself. That's very nice of him." Was she speaking in third person again? She had a tendency to switch between the way she spoke with others at times.

He stayed there, on his hands and knees, for a couple more minutes until his breathing leveled and his heartbeat returned close to its normal rate. With a bit of effort, he stood back up and faced Rena. Perhaps it was time to go to the food court to replenish their energy. Even a smoothie at this point would be fine. 

"Hi-kun~ That's the wrong way!" She slid her dainty fingers against his palm, and curled them around his hand. She let out another soft giggle before pointing towards the right direction of the food court.

  "How much space you take didn’t bother me, really…" He’d already decided after thinking about it that he was probably going to take up more of the bed than Rena ever would.

It was still strange though, wasn’t it? B-ko would no less strike him as weird for letting a girl sleep in the same bed as him. Accuse him of taking advantage of her fears or something, but given C-ta’s lack of er, interest in girls in general, more awkward around them than attracted, he clearly didn’t have those intentions.

She nods, and as he suspends the door she shuffled through. Actually, she's never been in C-ta's room before has she? It certainly wasn't what she expected anyway, it was a lot neater than she would've thought. But then again Keiichi was the same way- his room wasn't messy at all. Perhaps that was just a dumb story girls told one another. In reality, Mion's room was way messier than this.

Yet someone’s attention was directly on her… She was sure of it! She had no other reason for feeling this paranoid!

As soon as she pulled together the resolve to stand and leave the area, the brunette who snuck up to her side spoke and D-ne nearly jumped out of her skin. The violette didn’t make a sound, rather jerking to look up at the other girl with wide eyes, but she was visibly surprised by the other, despite her soft voice and stuttering.

Releasing a breath, D-ne peered at the brunette reluctantly.

This girl went to school with her, didn't she? So they must have been around the same grade- so whatever homework that she had, Rena must have lying around some where, right? Unless this girl was in advanced classes. The thought simply left Rena rather dizzy with sudden unease. Where was this nervousness even coming from?

"U-Uhm well... I could help!" She announced rather suddenly, pulling a knuckle to her chin. Her skinny legs shuffling along with her feet, impatiently. She wanted an answer, but she also didn't want an answer.

"…It’s okay." A-ya let out a sigh. Not really okay, since when dragging someone like that was normal? …But, after all what happened to A-ya so far, maybe it can turn into something normal at some point.

C-ta probably would have lectured her once more about the dangers of bringing strangers into their apartment, but little did she know that A-ya and C-ta were rather... close?

But on the subject of games, she was feeling rather excited. But occult games? They weren't something that she would play. Her raging paranoia seemed to keep her far far away from things like that. Luckily, she didn't exactly know the true definition of 'occult' and agreed. It was more likely a recipe for disaster- but A-ya didn't know that. No one did. Rena hardly knew it herself.

It seemed, however, the damage was done as he saw Rena rush into the corner, redness visible on her face. Lelouch lifted himself up into a sitting position, a tiny gasp of pain escaping his mouth as he moved his possibly bruised upper body. He made a mental note to exercise and strengthen himself so these kinds of aches could be avoided all together.

His gaze fixed onto the embarrassed girl, and he felt an ounce of pity. Standing up, he first climbed onto the latter and took down the things that needed to be removed. Next, he went over to Rena in the corner. He decided touching her shoulder to get her attention wouldn’t be the best course of action.

Alas, she knew the poor fellow that had walked in- and she had a sort of strange relationship with him. Although, she only considered them as awkward friends with not vary many romantic interest kept in mind, (Perhaps if it were a Sunday that would be a different story). She felt embarrassed because she should have to explain to him that she had fallen- and hopefully something like this wouldn't absolutely destroy the image he had of her previously. 

That was all she was thinking, but the feigning innocence had resurfaced just as she pulled herself into the corner to consider her options. She didn't have many other than giving explanations, or avoiding Hidenori all together. She nibbled slowly on her lower lip before Lelouch grasped her attention with his voice once more.

So now they were on the floor, Rena laying on top of Lelouch, who did his best to try and hide the pain and discomfort caused by being a cushion. If she lifted her head a bit, they would be face to face. “Y-you should’ve waited a bit,” he said in a pained tone. 

While he was sure he didn’t break any bones, Rena didn’t weigh that much, it didn’t help to dissipate the pain and pressure on him. He tried to remove the pressure, the other’s body. He placed his hands on her shoulders and gently tried to push her up so that her entire body weight wasn’t on him. 

"O-Oh! I'm so sorry!" She sat up straight rather than actually attempting to roll off of him. For the most part she had to make sure that she didn't completely crush him underneath her to begin with. But Rena was a particularly skinny girl- so there was no insanely worrisome issue about falling on top of him.

Pressing her small little palms on his chest to make sure that he could still feel something as she sat up, she tried to nudge him- as if he had been knocked out. Although, she could've just noticed that his eyes were open.

But the most panic came when the door to the classroom was thrown open. Some student announcing to the teacher that he was here to make up a test and-.... Well, there they were. And sure enough Rena averted her gaze. The compromising and suggestive position already would've gotten the two of them in trouble, but goodness gracious this was already too much. She swallowed hard and heard the other stumble over words before quickly darting away.

And he seemed to grow more curious about the girl whom he called his partner. 

"Yeah, it would be hard to coordinate in-game. We could totally miss each other even if we do everything right," he said with a chuckle, hiding his darker curiosity. A person’s true colors couldn’t be simply extracted through direct means, and, additionally, a friendship with Rena didn’t seem like that bad of an idea. They trusted each other at least in-game. That trust could easily be formed offline as well.

A few more sweeps and he was finished with cleaning the floor. He was about to ask if there was any other work to do (since he came late), and he saw Rena struggling with a particularly high project that was just out of her reach. Walking up next to her, he let out a playfully condescending chuckle. “Need a little help?”

But that part alone- Lelouche didn't need to know about Rena's tools of trade, and her associates. It was fun just like this.

She looked down at him, her hand moving a little to shyly shield from peaking eyes- just in case there was anything to show from the ladder itself. Quietly she nodded a bit. 

He leans out from around a corner. Was she here already? He turns around and goes over himself once. Way underdressed.

"Hurry~ Hurry Syo-kun! Or I'm gonna leave you behiiiind~"
