Chapter 3

(Originally posted on Jan 4, @ 12:19pm, I just changed the title)

Lelouch and Antonio stared at each other for a long time.

"Do I even need to ask what happened?" Antonio asked with a sigh, gesturing them to follow him. Lelouch hesitated a bit, making Nunnally give him a small smile. She placed a hand on his leg gently. Nudging him, "It's fine. This man seems trustworthy." The dark haired man stared at he before relenting with a heavy sigh. Picking her up again and following Antonio at last.

Everything else was silent except for branches breaking and leaves rustling under their feet. Along with birds chirping away happily, soaring through the air. Soon enough, the three reached that hut that Lelouch spotted from earlier. Antonio got to the door and unlocked it with one of the keys from its set.

He opened it wide open and gestured the siblings to go in first, with him going in and locking the door soon after. "I don't have much, but welcome to my training house. Now, would you so kindly tell me what happened back there?" He asked nicely, crossing his arms. Nunnally answered, "There was this large man barging in, wanting money from you. He must've mistaken Lelouch for you, so he was about to attack but my brother managed to rescue me and escape." Antonio raised an eyebrow before relaxing with a small chuckle. "I'm not totally surprised. That big man you met is my cousin. Who I always win against when it comes to gambling and sparring. Except for yesterday." Antonio revealed. The guy just want his money, knowing that he's of royal blood.

Purple eyes soon met the identical ones, "Sorry if he scared you two. How about I repay you guys with a trip to this fair that's opening later today at 4:30pm?" Nunnally nodded excitedly. She looked at her brother, putting on her nearly irresistible puppy eyes. "Please Lelouch! I haven't had fun in a while. Plus, we can all relax and enjoy it together! For me?" The black haired brother pursed his lips but nodded, giving his consent.

He shrugged slightly and said, "Sure...we can go."

"Can we go now? I'm not liking this." Lelouch begged, acting really nervous as the carts of the roller coaster slowly went up and up, pushing everyone onto their backs. Nunnally was at the very front, upon her request, while Antonio and Lelouch sat together in the middle of it. The doppelgänger noticed the britannian getting more nervous right before the roller coaster started to go down. Without thinking, Antonio grabbed Lelouch's hand in comfort. He leaned his head to the right slightly, whispering in his ear, "Get ready. I'm here, don't worry." Well, that clearly didn't work, since Lelouch started screaming his lungs off. Antonio smiled, finding it quite adorable.

Lelouch will never live this down.

With the boy grumbling throughout most of the time at the fair proves that this sort of thing is definitely not his cup of tea. When it was finally time to go back, due to how late it's getting. Lelouch snickered in victory while Nunnally whined and begged to stay for 'five more minutes' but was denied. Antonio looked back at the pouting girl, "Don't worry. This will be in town for three more days. I will bring you back on the last day, if you behave. Deal?" The girl giggled in excitement, nodding her head fast. "Yes! I promise, hehe." She said excitedly, giggling some more when Antonio ruffled her head.

"As for you," he started when turning his attention to Lelouch, "you will stay at the cabin. I don't need to hear your girly squeals that sounds like a pig giving birth and hold your hair back so that you don't throw up." He smirked when he saw Lelouch's face really red, fuming and clearly offended. Antonio draped an arm around the other's shoulders, leaning slightly towards the other's ear to say, "You like chess, don't you? I have two sets at the cabin that you can play with. The very first one that was ever made and the latest ultimate edition one." Antonio knows that Lelouch is now excited and calm instead of pissed off at him.

Being a prince and traveler, Antonio collected all sorts of things from his travels. But they would always be stored up in this cabin because one, there is always something new he likes and two, he had no one to share them with. Until these two came along. As he watched Lelouch and Nunnally somehow manage to play a few rounds of chess, Antonio gained an idea.

He will try to officially befriend both of them. It shouldn't be hard...right?
