Kallen: [in front of everyone at in-progress SAZ meeting lull because this script is AU or whatever] Suzaku, tell your boyfriend not to put me on dress-up duty for the next Ashford festival.
Suzaku: Lelouch is NOT my boyfriend!
Kallen: ...The fact that you knew EXACTLY who I was talking about is pretty telling, isn't it?
Suzaku: *Very Determinedly does not look at Zero* We're JUST friends.
Kallen: Wow, you are such a bad liar. I can understand wanting to hide your poor taste though.
Euphy: Maybe you just don't know Lelouch well enough--
Kallen: Lelouch is a HUGE jerk. He put me on dress-up duty.
Suzaku: I'm sure Lelouch had his reasons for what he did. *has this dopey smile on his face for a second as his eyes flick to the head of the table* Besides, this is a fresh start. Give him a chance.
Kallen: Of course you'd stick up for your BOYFRIEND.
Zero: *straightens his already-organized papers a bajillion times*
Suzaku: I told you, he's not--! *fearful glance at Tohdoh*
Tohdoh: [calmly] Oh, don't worry, Suzaku. I've known for years that you might end up liking guys.
Tohdoh: Well, you WERE half in love with that Britannian prince who stayed at your family's shrine that one summer...
Zero: *drops papers* Oh REALLY?
Tohdoh: *rolls eyes* Suzaku, you spent every waking moment with that boy.
Suzaku: He was my best friend!!!
Tohdoh: You followed him around with puppy eyes. EVERYONE could tell you had the biggest kid-crush on that prince.
Zero: Accurate. Go on, Tohdoh, this is the best report you've ever made.
Tohdoh: O...kay... Suzaku, you sneaked out of your room most nights to curl up with the prince.
Suzaku: WE FELL ASLEEP WHILE WE WERE STARGAZING!
Tohdoh: ...Every time? Oh, you lost focus during training sessions because thinking about that prince distracted you.
Suzaku: ONCE! ...Er, okay, MAYBE more than once...
Tohdoh: You outright asked me once if boys could kiss other boys, especially when they were, and I quote, 'really really pretty.'
Kallen: *snort* Suzaku must have a type.
Suzaku: I do NOT have 'a TYPE'!
Tohdoh: And finally, Suzaku, you suggested that you marry him to bring peace between Britannia and Japan in a political marriage.
Suzaku: Th-that was HIS idea!!!
Zero: A brilliant one, might I add.
Tohdoh: O...kay... Suzaku, your energy levels that day were off the charts. Even for you.
Suzaku: Can't I just be happy without you turning it into--?!
Tohdoh: MY POINT, Suzaku, is that I already knew you were attracted to boys. I've been more concerned about your loyalty to Britannia than your sexual orientation.
Suzaku: ...Oh. *fiddles with his fingers*
Zero: SO, Kururugi. Who would you prefer more: Your childhood crush dream prince or your current ideal 'boyfriend' from school?
Suzaku: *long, deadpan stare at Zero* ...You're a royal jerk, you know that?
Zero: *doesn't seem to care that a previous enemy was disrespectful to him* I'll answer you when you answer me.
Suzaku: Th-that's not-- THERE IS NO ANSWER!
Ohgi: What does all this have to do with setting up the Special Zone anyway? Can't we get back to business?
Diethard: No, no. Kururugi's embarrassment is delicious.
Suzaku: Of course you--! *takes deep breath* We will discuss this later, ZERO.
Zero: *tugs collar* I think a long recess is in order. In fact, we're done for the day. My schedule just got booked.
Darlton: Wait, you can't just--! Princess Euphemia, please, stop this madness!
Euphy: Go get him, Suzaku~!
Suzaku: Oh, I'll get him, all right.
Zero: *shivers slightly* [sounding fond] You already did.
Kallen: What the hell is even going on?
Suzaku: You know, Kallen. Maybe you should tell your leader to stop playing dress-up. It never ends well, does it?
