Koneko looked at Lelouch, appreciation flashing in her golden eyes for a second before she took the offered glass. She sipped it carefully, making sure to finish her breakfast carefully so she wouldn't waste any of the delicious meal she was just given.
"Thanks." She rasped out, gulping down the last of her milk and sighing in satisfaction. "You're cooking from now on.
" She declared with all the seriousness of a King handing down a new law. Koneko stood up and poked him in the chest for emphasis. "Got it?" She asked, ignoring their height difference.
Screw being a good friend being the reason she took him in, she was keeping him around for his cooking for as long as she could.
Her friend was by far the best cook she'd ever had. She couldn't imagine what he could do with other food if he could make plain pancakes this good.
Lelouch chuckled at the petite girl's attempt at being intimidating. It was adorable. Like a kitten growling at a wolf.
"I don't mind, we'll need to go shopping for more ingredients however." He pulled up the collar of his shirt to take a quick sniff. "And clothes shopping, I can't stay in these longer than today or they'll start to stink.
" He didn't want to go shopping, but he didn't have much choice. Everything he owned except for his money in the bank and his wallet had been destroyed.
"We can do a little shopping before classes." Koneko was glad Lelouch wouldn't mind cooking for her.
"But we'll need to head in early to make sure you get your uniform before classes start today.
" She rubbed her hand through her hair, feeling the knots that formed overnight. Those would be annoying to brush out.
"I already thought of that," Lelouch admitted. "We still have to get more food so we'll have to go shopping after school no matter what." He was hoping a quick little shopping spree could help him get a new set of clothes so he could at least change out of the ones he was currently wearing.
He'd also need to get a new backpack. And he'd need to borrow school supplies until he could purchase more. He hadn't realized just how much small stuff he'd need to get as a result of everything he owned being destroyed. He really took that kind of thing for granted before, he began to realize.
"The best I can get right now would be some spare clothes that I can check out quickly before we go to school, what do you think?" Lelouch turned to his roommate, as he began to wash the dishes.
"Good idea." Koneko agreed with Lelouch's plan, making her way back upstairs. "I'll get ready to head out.
" She'd be damned before going out with her hair sticking up all over the place. She had some pride in her appearance after all.
"See you soon." Lelouch replied, turning back to his chore and cleaning up after the two of them with a practiced ease.
It had been a while since he shared a home with another person, well another person who wasn't some kind of subordinate to him.
He had lived with a bunch of people as both Zero and Emperor after all. The last time he'd lived with someone like this had been Nunnally.
He paused for a second as he wondered how she was doing as Empress. He knew she would be a great ruler, he hoped she lived up to the potential he had seen in her.
As he finished up drying off the last of the dishes, he heard Koneko's voice sound off near the door. "I'm ready, get your shoes on.
" He walked out to see Koneko staring blankly, though he could see a hint of annoyance flashing in her golden eyes, as she tapped her foot.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." He responded easily, ignoring her irritation as he tied up his new pair of black boots.
He checked his pocket for his wallet before realizing it had been in the jacket he removed before heading to bed. He picked it up from the bedside, slipped it on, and turned to his impatient roommate.
"I'm all set, let's go." He didn't bother zipping up, knowing any longer and Koneko would get truly annoyed.
She huffed and threw open the door, causing the two of them to flinch slightly before their eyes adjusted to the sunlight.
Unfortunately for the pair of Devils, it looked like it was going to be a bright day.
Lelouch grumbled slightly as he tugged at the collar of his new Kuoh Academy uniform, "I swear, is everyone in this school a damn Devil or something?" He murmured to the President of the Student Council, Sona Sitri who went by the alias Souna Shitori while at Kuoh.
"Regardless, thank you for your assistance." He said, cutting off her answer to his previous comment. He didn't care to find out just how many people had been Devils existing right under his nose for months on end.
The uniform was a bit stiff, but that was simply because he had yet to break it in. Once he was used to it, it would no longer bother him.
"It's no problem." Sona replied easily. "Rias told me of your predicament so I didn't have any issue procuring a new set of uniforms for you.
" Sona looked at him shiftily out of the corner of her eye as he kept pace behind her. "She also told me you are staying with Koneko," She began before Lelouch cut her off.
"Yeah, Koneko was kind enough to loan me her couch while I look for a new place." He wouldn't have Sona thinking he was anyone who would take advantage of his proximity to Koneko for unsavory purposes.
"I made her some breakfast this morning as thanks for letting me stay with her." He added, figuring she would appreciate the fact he wasn't taking advantage of his underclassman's generosity.
"I see." Sona turned back after searching his face for any signs of deception.
