DRABBLE (Code Geass): Villains and Cats, 276 words

[amanuensis1]

Small bit of Code Geass slash drabblage.

Villains and Cats
Pairing: Lelouch/Suzaku
Words: 276
Spoilers for the end of the series.


Lelouch turned at the sound, saw Suzaku in the doorway with the cat cradled in his arms, heard the double hiss.

One belonged to Arthur, his teeth sunk predictably into Suzaku's hand. The other, understandably, belonged to Suzaku, trying to free his hand.

"You ought to get rid of that cat," said Lelouch, grinning the first honest grin he'd had in days. Likely the first since taking the throne.

"I am," winced Suzaku, dislodging Arthur's teeth at last. "I'm giving him to you."

"To me? You're the one he likes."

"You have to have him," Suzaku said, lower lip nearly protruding with stubbornness. "It's important."

"Why?"

"So people will believe you." He thrust the cat at Lelouch. Arthur dangled like taffy from his hands. "Villains have to have cats. It's the rule."

Arthur yowled.

Oddly, Lelouch didn't feel like bursting into laughter. It was touching. "I don't think I can take him," he said after a pause. "It wouldn't be kind, forcing him into a state where he'll soon have to mourn both his masters. You think?"

Suzaku spent several seconds with his eyes lowered, not meeting Lelouch's gaze. At last he allowed Arthur to gain the floor. Lelouch watched the cat curl around Suzaku's ankles. Wretched little beast, showing affection because he knew he couldn't bite through Suzaku's boots, no doubt.

"You don't have to give me your cat."

"I need..." Suzaku's voice broke. "I need to give you something."

Lelouch took Suzaku's bitten hand in his, touched the bloody toothmarks. "I know. Come here." He raised the palm to his lips.

Arthur stole out the doorway, looking for other amusement. Neither of them noticed.

Damn it, you have to stop making me cry! *gets more tissues*

How I'm going to get through the series with Gwydd and Cath without giving the whole show away when I start randomly crying I DON'T KNOW.

Oh, boys. Boys.

[angelhideki.livejournal.com]

XD This is EXACTLY why I made my friends watch it by themselves.

"Why can't you watch it with me?"
"BECAUSE I'LL START BAWLING AND GIVE AWAY WHO'S GONNA DIE?"
"PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE?! ;_;!"
"SEE?!"

[sxshellyxs.livejournal.com]

lol, now that's awesome! xD


But this little fic, really was heartbreaking ;__;...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad this got to you, thank you!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I hate having to be stony-faced to keep from spoiling people! I have to do it SO MUCH. :D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

They just...I mean, they just...GAH. They break me, these two, they really do.

Suzaku, you poor, crazy bastard. ;_;

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

He's just as crazy as Lelouch, I say. He's just better at making it look like he's not. ^_^

[ojuzu.livejournal.com]

*sniff*

[ojuzu.livejournal.com]

Argh, forgot to use appropriate icon.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

God, I love that. That's not a screencap, is it? I've screencapped that scene myself and I'm pretty sure we never had a shot like that. Where's it from?

[ojuzu.livejournal.com]

Itokonoarts, I think. They've got a very good balance between 'serious and pretty' and 'pretty and AWESOME' going on.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*hands you tissue, is pleased*

[angelhideki.livejournal.com]

This fic...
It's so cute, and so sweet, but so SAD!

;3; I love you, but you make me cry so easily.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry! Except, no, wait, I'm not. I love that reaction, so, I'll say thank you instead! ^_^

[somnia-lustre.livejournal.com]

So sweet and sad. I just feel sorry for all three of them all over again.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I keep feeling that way and it keeps manifesting in the need for ficlets. ^_^ Thank you so much!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Yeah, sometimes these ideas come and they're not very big, don't need a 30,000-word story to support them. Just a fandom. ^_^

T________________________________________________T

It made me feel happy yet sad =[=]

Im all confused now but I really do like this drabble :)

xxxx

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Aw, I love to do the "happy yet sad" thing to people! :D

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

OMG YOUR ICON.

*dies from laughter*

So wrong, and yet I can't help laughing my head off like an idiot D:

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

GOD I hate that hat. :D

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

Lelouch you walking fashion disaster you <3

...I adore his red jacket outfit though. I MUST HAVE IT ♥

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Okay, I know I've seen the huge version of the hat, but Suzaku kneeling and kissing the sword?! I might have missed that!! WHERE IS. MUST HAVE.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

NevermindIfoundit! Omigod, how did I forget Suzaku's pose in that??

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

It's excellent isn't it. His face omg.
Both there and in the Clamp artbook cover. Oh that was GLORIOUS xD

Hope you don't mind if I add you - I love your writing, and besides I could always do with more SuzaLulu/ Rolo fans to fangirl with :3

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I do love Rolo, too! Let me be honest--what I love is watching Lelouch use him, bwah ha ha ha. And the Illustrations Relation artbook is so so so gorgeous; I got that one for the cover alone and the whole thing turned out to be fantabulous.

Welcome and thank you for adding me! *hugs*

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

Ahaha Rolo is my precious darling baby. I don't know how it eventually came to it, but it did. I just hate to see people abusing a character who's actually just a poor, misled, misunderstood, insecure boy - and he's so sweet besides.
Also, he is SO FREAKING MOE AND OH WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO HAVE A REAL SON LIKE HIM.
It's just sad that Lelouch only really learned to love him when/after he died.

Illustrations Relation has lots of good stuff. It has lots of fanservice for the male side of the fandom too =__= Thankfully the cover and design is all pretty and gorgeous and there's lots of Rolo and pretty Lulus and Suzakus so it's hard not to love it to bits.
I couldn't resist; I got both that and the Clamp one x| Thank goodness for Kinokuniya, Christmas sales, and my friend's privilege card that I yoinked for the day xD

*hugs back*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I have a couple more of the artbooks on their way to me courtesy of eBay. ^_^

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

You're making me want to cry again! I loved this so much. It was perfection. ♥

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I am so in love with their angsty love. Thank you so much, darling! *hearts*

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

Omg villains and cats. Why didn't I see that.

But this was so sweet; you've melted me into a little puddle of goo.
I love your simple Suzalulu stuff. Would it be too much to ask for more? ^^;

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I want so much to give more! There's also some serious smut that I keep trying to write, but I keep backing away 'cos I feel so much pressure to get it right. ^_^

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

The number 1 most important thing to me for *that* little genre of fics is language. There's no fun in reading a smut scene with bad spelling, grammar, and sentence structure D:

But you seem to have a good command of the English language, so no worries there. Granted, I have very minute to no experience at all in this area of fic, but I'm pretty sure that other than that, you just have to make sure they're in-character all throughout (i.e. even in those moments xD), and that it feels and flows right for you. Fics don't have to be extremely smutty to be good xD

But MAN it'd be fun to see something smuttish coming from you. Otherwise, more crack is always fun too, since you seem to fit it in so well :D (my friend and I once had this really wacked idea of Lulu rehearsing his signature dramatic poses in front of the mirror - but I'm having trouble making it seem canon for myself! xD )

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*sporfles* Oh, that's funny. That would be priceless!

How too tunign kia

Kia has recently started installing the 2.0 liter turbo engine from the Optima turbo in the 2011 Sportage. Jason asked me if I would attend the press preview on his behalf, and I'd like to present the above photo as evidence that I did a proper job of testing the Sportage SX's 256 horsepower engine. Details of both the Sportage and my financial contribution to the great state of Arizona will be coming soon on About.com's SUVs and Minivans site.
