"Doesn't change the fact that they've probably broken about a dozen laws over the course of their time here." Lelouch deadpanned.
"Without Rias' protection, they'd have been expelled at the very least by now." He blinked as he watched the tennis ball explode and the two teams' nets practically disintegrated. "Holy shit."
A little while later, they were all in the clubhouse as Koneko held up the nets. "Too bad it was a draw." She deadpanned, though Lelouch could sense the annoyance in her tone. "Now they're talking about dragging all of us into a team match."
Lelouch just kept banging his head on the wall behind the couch, resisting the urge to make a noose out of the shower curtains and hang himself.
He ignored the conversation between Issei and Kiba and groaned. "I hate this shit." He grumbled, stopping his head bashing as the door opened revealing Rias and Akeno.
"We've decided on dodgeball." Rias declared and Lelouch resisted the urge to return to smacking his head against the wall. "We'll meet over the weekend, tomorrow night in the gym.
Let's win this!" She pumped her fist enthusiastically, encouraging the other four members of her Peerage to do the same, Lelouch just returned to thumping his head against the wall. "Lelouch you in or out?" Rias asked, confused by her Knight's reaction.
"Fuck it." He mumbled for the second time that day. "Fine, but this better be the last time. I hate sports." Lelouch brushed passed Rias so that he could make his way home, Koneko would catch up soon enough. He just wanted to get some fresh air.
It wasn't that Lelouch didn't appreciate Rias doing this for him, Issei, and Asia, but he just wished they had picked something more up his alley.
Like the chess tournament they had held the previous week. "I think I'll just take a flop." Lelouch admitted to Koneko as he felt her walk up to his side a few minutes later. "I can wait a month if absolutely necessary." His speed could be useful in the game, but he didn't really feel to motivated to play.
Koneko wrapped his arm around her shoulders, getting herself as close to his body heat as she could as they walked home.
The Kuoh female uniform wasn't built for the cold temperatures of fall nights. "I'll kick ass for you." She deadpanned. "I kinda want to nail Saji in the balls, just visualizing Issei will make my aim right on target." She announced with a smirk.
Lelouch's laugh warmed Koneko more than his body heat as she felt a blush flush her cheeks. It was a rare sound, but she enjoyed it whenever she heard a genuine laugh from her best friend.
Spending time with Lelouch always made her happier.
The day before the night they were set to take on Sona's Peerage in a dodgeball match, Lelouch and Koneko spent most of the day relaxing. Lelouch decided against wearing his uniform to school, though Koneko decided to wear her Kuoh gym uniform because it was most comfortable for her.
Lelouch observed Koneko slightly as she moved around their home in her uniform, having worn it most of the day. "Are you sure you want to wear that on the way?" He asked, knowing her sensitivity to the cold. "It's supposed to be colder than yesterday." Lelouch didn't want Koneko to get sick.
"Yes, I don't trust the pervert to not spy on me in the locker room." She deadpanned, nibbling on a last second snack.
He decided to make some rice crispy treats today. "Besides, you're wearing shorts for once, that isn't much better." She retorted, pointing out his own choice of clothing.
Lelouch was wearing a pair of black shorts with silver lining the edges and a long-sleeved black t-shirt.
He had decided against just giving up as Rias and the others were actually going to try for his sake he should at least attempt to return the favor.
What he was wearing was still better than the white shirt and navy blue bloomers Koneko was wearing but he wasn't gonna nitpick. Late October was rather chilly, but it was her choice.
"Alright." He shrugged and pulled on his own dark jacket. Koneko was smart, if she thought she could handle herself he'd listen until proven otherwise.
However, after they were walking in silence for a while Lelouch noticed Koneko's teeth chattering quietly before he sighed. She was too stubborn for her own good sometimes.
He removed his jacket and placed it around her shoulders. "Here, you need this more than I do." They were only just about halfway there, it would only get worse for the petite girl.
Koneko looked up at him in surprise before looking off to her side blushing at having been caught. She didn't want to admit it, but he had been right.
"Thanks." She mumbled, wrapping herself up in her best friend's jacket. Its dark cloth smelled just like him, she noted with a small smile. 'It's warm.' Perhaps being wrong wasn't too bad once in a while.
Eventually they arrived, a little after Rias and Akeno actually, and started to stretch out. Once Lelouch felt himself as loose as he could be, he grabbed one of the balls they were going to be using and started tossing it against the wall.
He threw it moderately hard and caught it on the bounce back, squeezing it slightly before sighing. "These won't explode like the tennis balls right?" He asked Rias as she grabbed one ball of her own and tossed it to him.
He dropped the one he was holding to catch it before tossing it to Kiba who passed to Akeno and then to Koneko.
"They shouldn't." Rias responded somewhat sheepishly. "The tennis balls got weaker cause they weren't able to handle us channeling magic." She chucked it at Akeno who threw it to Lelouch, hitting him in the gut.
Lelouch winced slightly, rubbing his midsection before picking the ball up. "I understand, I can't make any promises, but I'll at least try to not be the weakest link." He chucked the ball hard at Kiba who accidentally bounced it into the air before catching it off his own deflection.
