If You're Homophobic, then Why Are You Kissing Me?

Chapter Six: Winter Spirit Part 2

It wasn't long before Milly, Kallen, and Shirley were dressed in their costumes. By then Lelouch was already tired of the outfit he was wearing. He really wanted to get rid of it and burn it. Unfortunately he knew it would be futile. Milly would have some trick up her sleeve if he did do that. Besides, Suzaku seemed to like the outfit. So he had to grudgingly compliment the outfit Milly chose for him, secretly of course.

Lelouch, Suzaku, and Rivalz all got a good look at the three girls' outfits. They were all very interesting. Milly and Kallen looked like old-time people, from like the 1500s. Milly was dressed as the guy, with colored dark hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. Lelouch knew it was colored, not sprayed because she mentioned the other day during a meeting she was going to color it brown. She stood with a confidence beside her lovely young woman, Kallen. Kallen's hair was blond, but Lelouch couldn't tell if it was sprayed like Rivalz's hair or colored. Either way, she was wearing one of those large flowing dresses. It was medium blue outer layer with buttons on the front and white under layers. It made her look more timid than she acted sometimes. Shirley looked... old. Like as old as Rivalz did. Lelouch felt bad for her.

Milly interrupted everyone. "All right, I have a few requirements for all of you. There was part of a reason why you ended up as partners. You all have relatively the same classes. I've already informed your teachers that you're to sit together during every class and on top of it, you are allowed to show some PDA."

"You're requiring it?" Suzaku asked, frowning slightly.

Milly's grinned widened and she nodded. "That's what will make everyone love the costumes more. Besides you have to make it look like you're a couple for the outfits anyway or else it wouldn't make any sense. Unfortunately, even if your group is chosen as the winner, only one of you could be titled a lord or lady." They all nodded, listening intently. "Now obviously, you are not allowed to grope each other nor are you allowed anywhere near other students for kisses, touches, groping or anything. Most of the PDA rules still apply, but hand holding and arms around each other are okay. Even a few pecks on the cheek or lips is appropriate. But keep it to a minimum. I'll get my behind chewed off by my grandfather if you guys are inappropriate."

"Obviously most of us aren't going to be," Lelouch retorted, rolling his eyes at Milly. "Kallen and you are the only ones in a relationship together."

Milly grinned at this, but said, "Yes, but I had to elaborate. You know, just in case something happens that makes any of you randomly start making out."

"That won't happen," Suzaku said, as if to reassure both Milly and himself. Instantly, Lelouch knew what Suzaku was thinking. He glared at Milly, who shrugged and flashed Lelouch an apologetic look.

Milly looked at her watch and clapped her hands together. "Classes are going to start in fifteen minutes. You all better head there." Lelouch noticed the glance between the two. It was obvious what Milly wanted to do for a little while. So he stood up and, with a glance Milly could pick up on, said, "All right, let's head out. None of us want to be late."

Suzaku nodded with Lelouch and got to his feet. Lelouch, after hesitating for a moment, got to his feet. His muscles tried to protest, but he ignored it and managed to walk next to Suzaku. Shirley and Rivalz followed.

"Oh there's one last thing!" Milly said before they left and handed out name tags. "You're required to wear these so people know what you are. We don't need people assuming things."

The four students started out of the room and Milly called a reminder, "Make sure to act like couples!" They all acknowledged what Milly said, but didn't say anything.
