"Why do you have so many clothes?" LL complained as his back starts to ache.
It was sweet at first, when he offered to carry CC's travel bags now that he's finally conscious; and it was endearing to see how the green haired witch blushed as he held her hand while walking. He wanted to be a gentleman, and desired to make her feel she can depend on someone else now because she isnt alone anymore. It honestly amused him how they started their travels with her looking out for him, and restart it with him and his purest intentions to protect her and keep her happy this time.

It was like things are now going good for LL.
Until his supposed chivalry started to take a toll on his still-extra-fragile body. He just cant help but wonder how the hell did CC managed to carry these bags while taking care of his soulless body. He was tempted to ask her if she's more than just a witch, but he guesses that's not a proper question to ask considering how she just accepted his proposal.
"Because Lel-"
"LL" he corrected.
"Because LL, I'm finally free. I dont need to remind myself of my restraints through that white prisoner body suit again, and I dont have to wear your stupid clothes to play decoy too. It's high time I enjoy fashion."
That CC liked fashion, Lelouch knew very well. For an immortal, non-working, wanted lady, she has exhibited far more looks than Shirley who's a regular rich teenager herself. The greenhaired witch has been very creative with her hairstyle, and she's always had a special set of clothes reserved for any occasion. Not to mention how she refused to wear the regular black knights uniform and the common knightmare pilot body suit, and had her own versions made according to her fashion taste.
"You've always had different sets of clothes."
"Yes, but it's now more necessary than ever. In case your big brain didnt figure, travels include different climates and spontaneous missions."
"Then what about my clothes? Why is this bag full of yours only?"
Oh Lelouch still had clothes somewhere down there in the bag. But CC doesnt have any plans of admitting that because she's sure he'll figure out why she intended to keep them. I will not be caught trying to keep memories of him just because I thought I'll never see him again. "For an ex-emperor who restored peace in the world, you're quite dumb."
"Hey!" LL protested, yet he found his hand was still glued to hers. He guesses it's really hard to let go when you've finally held onto something you... love.
"You followed me without considering that I was set to travel on my own. Did you honestly thought I'd pack you clothes?" I packed them for myself, hmp!
"Well I had to go after you without considering that, because you just left without a word! This was your fault, not mine!"
CC sighed in resignation. She was sure it wasnt really her fault because she actually packed him some, but she was too tired to even argue with LL for the second time today. Honestly, she's adored and watched couples over her centuries of life, but this is the first time she's encountered a relationship like theirs. Aren't newly engaged couples supposed to be sweet? Marianne and Charles acted different than this when they got engaged. All Lelouch was doing was enraging her.
