章 6: Chapter 6:Koneko
Lelouch groaned. "Great, just great." He considered his options. "Would you mind buying me some clothes?
Until I can get my wallet out of the rubble of my house I have no money and I'd rather not meet Rias in your clothes."
Lelouch hated asking Koneko this, but he didn't have much choice.
"Just don't get anything too expensive." Koneko said as she tossed Lelouch some grey sweatpants before digging around in her closet for a coat he could wear and giving him some privacy to put on the pants.
"Your boxers were covered in your blood so I had to throw them out, sorry." Koneko would have preferred it if Lelouch wore underwear when wearing her clothes, but desperate times call for desperate measures. She pulled out the biggest coat she had.
Desperate times indeed.
Lelouch walked next to Koneko, trying his hardest to not let his embarrassment get to him as he picked out some clothes at the closest shop the pair could find.
The clothing Lelouch was wearing was comical at best and he really wanted to get something that fit him properly.
The sweatpants he wore were either forced to ride uncomfortably low on his hips or they would bunch up around his knees with each step.
On Koneko's four foot six frame they would probably cover her feet, on Lelouch they barely covered halfway down to his shins. And the coat, dear God the coat.
Lelouch ignored the splitting headache that he got again, he was noticing a pattern here, as he considered his terrible luck.
Koneko's largest coat was the brightest neon pink Lelouch had ever seen and it left a portion of his lower stomach uncovered, clearly showing he had no shirt on underneath.
To top all of this off, the clothes were also uncomfortably tight on his body. If he wasn't as skinny as he was he probably would have ripped them by now actually.
The flip flops weren't much better, considering his feet were larger than hers by at least two sizes apparently.
Once Lelouch found a good shirt that was a little bigger than normal and a pair of pants he rushed to the changing room, ignoring the whispers of the few customers in the store.
Thank God, the headache was back again, there weren't many people in the store. He didn't think he could handle the humiliation.
Lelouch quickly removed Koneko's clothes once he was in the changing room, after making sure to lock the door.
He pulled on the black jeans he had selected, breathing a sigh of relief once he was no longer confined by the grey sweats.
He looked at himself in the mirror and blinked in surprise before pulling on the black t-shirt he picked out.
He guessed he filled out more in this world than in his, he hadn't remembered his body having muscles like he currently had.
Then again, it could be a side-effect of his resurrection, but it wasn't like he had made it a habit to stare at himself in a mirror to see if he was developing better than before.
Though the massive scar in the middle of his chest was somewhat unnerving.
He walked out of the changing room to find some shoes, he'd get socks and underwear later since they could only be bought in bulk and getting those now felt too much like taking advantage of Koneko's generosity.
No matter how uncomfortable he was going commando, he'd deal with it. He quickly found a nice pair of black boots and slipped them on before he made his way to the counter to purchase his clothes.
Koneko was already there waiting for him as he pulled out the tags he had removed from the clothing so they could be scanned, but before she used her cash for his selections she tossed up a large grey hoodie and surprised him.
"This too please." Koneko had… gotten him a gift? She had loaned him the money to buy clothes, but he was only planning on purchasing the necessities. Shirt, pants, and shoes. This… was unexpected.
The guy at the checkout counter snickered before Lelouch paid with the cash he'd borrowed, Koneko grabbed the bag they were given and Lelouch placed the clothes she had let him use inside before he found the hoodie shoved into his hands. "I thought this would look nice.
" She said quietly with a little blush flushing her cheeks. Lelouch handed her the bag and held up the hoodie in front of him.
On the upper left side, where a pocket would be on some shirts, was a design of a small black kitten curled up on a white pillow.
The back was empty of any design, so Lelouch assumed she must have gotten it for him because of the kitten on the front.
He slipped it on and zipped the hoodie up, leaving a little space so it wouldn't choke him revealing his black shirt underneath and leaving the hood down for now.
It was a little big, but comfortable as the wind had picked up a little bit after they left the shop.
"Thank you Koneko. This is the first gift anyone has gotten me in a long time."
Lelouch believed the last time he had gotten a gift would be when Nunnally had gotten him a birthday gift the year before he began his rebellion. After that, he hadn't gotten a gift in years.
'It's been so long since someone has cared enough about me to get me a gift.' Lelouch realized.
C.C. wasn't the type, and when he was acting as Zero he was far too busy to handle celebrating his birthday and it's not like he could've told anyone.
When he was Emperor it just didn't seem right to celebrate at all considering what he was doing. Suzaku had agreed.
It had been years since he felt genuine thankfulness without a taint of bitterness.
"Thank you." He repeated with a small smile, the first genuine one he had given in years.
