Description: Set in a more peaceful time, these two strive to make the most of their lives, with each little lesson pulling them through to the next point in time… C.C. x Lelouch

AN: It will probably be OOC a lot, and it will shift perspective every chapter, odd lessons/chapters are Lelouch's perspective, evens are C.C.'s unless I choose to change it around. I still need a beta D:

Lesson 1: Pointless

Annoying, tiresome, and infuriating. Those are all words that would describe her perfectly. Besides that though, her haughty, arrogant smile pissed me off to no end. She always did win our little word games that we would play every now and then. Then again, I'd like to think of it as letting her win them all the time. After all, I had better things to do, such as run my country. Then again she wouldn't let that slide as an excuse would she…

I glanced at her again. As usual, she was just lying there enjoying her magazine and taking delicate bites out of her pizza that she used MY credit card to purchase. While I dislike food such as pizza, I nevertheless feel as though I deserve at least a bit of restitution don't I? Well I will not press that matter for now… Her gluttony has given me a bigger problem. She now has an armada of plushies. What's worse is she's forcing me to learn all of their names. For her favorite Cheese-kun to the Pepperoni-kun, which in my opinion is just Cheese-Kun colored red. But I'll digress again as this is serving no true purpose.

What truly irritates me about her is our relationship. Well, I can't even call it that can I? She prefers to think of it as a contract, which I feel are grounds for declaring it a relationship, but she'd just coldly deny it, so again, I won't press that point. I wonder why I even bother with her… While she gave me the Geass, all she would tell me about it is that it is different for everyone, and that I'm responsible for my own god damn actions. I salute her for her obviousness and holding the position of the current Captain Obvious.

While I say all these things, I cannot deny one thing. And, while I must be losing my mind to be confessing this, I find myself greatly attracted to the beauty lying on my bed. There I said it, beauty. I admit she is quite beautiful, rivaling most of the females on this godforsaken school to be sure. And her green hair only further separates her from the masses that do happen to attend. While I find her annoying, and tiresome, I cannot deny those also make her special in her own way. With her brand of wit, it's hard not to enjoy our daily bantering back and forth. But again this is all pointless and not worth the brainpower it takes to formulate those thoughts.

"What Lelouch?" She muttered at me with that annoyed tone in her voice. At least have the courtesy to look up from your god damn magazine witch… I couldn't help but that thought flash through my mind. I sighed, what use was it to discuss manners with her. While she understood the concept, she didn't give a damn anyways.

"Nothing." I replied flatly, continuing our game, and as I let my response hang in the air, I wondered how long this game would last. Hopefully it'll be longer than out previous game. That one was only a few lines long with me winning by default because she had fallen asleep out of the sheer boredom of the moment. It brought a small smile to my lips, how we could have those lapses of excitement in our chaotic lives was truly amazing. She obviously noticed my change in moods and looked up for a second before shifting into a more comfortable position and continued to read. I sighed again, what pointless thoughts yet again. Nothing good was going to come out of this contract. Not something I would want between the witch and I at least.

For some reason, I could not help but think about her wish, wondering what it would be. Bah, what was with all these pointless thoughts these days? I found myself often drowning in them. I closed my eyes and sighed again. It wasn't like me to be like this. The witch obviously must've realized this as I felt her gaze pierce into me for what seemed like countless minutes. After that excruciating pause, she got up from my bed and walked over to me. I continued to keep my eyes closed to annoy her. It looked like I had won this short round. I relished in my victory for another moment before I felt a soft pressure on my shoulder.

I opened my eyes and gazed at the beauty that had decided to turn me into a pillow. I gave her no smile, but looked away and I held her tight. She snuggled close, distinctly unwitch like. I myself was quite shocked at her current out of characterness. Nevertheless, I allowed her to do as she pleased as I continued to hold her for another few moments. I cherished these far and few pointless moments, where words weren't needed. It was quite a bit sad actually.

She gently pushed against me, but I held her all the tighter, not prepared to let her go. I knew it was futile though, to hold her against her will, and relented after another moment. She got up and again collapsed onto the bed, this time curling up with her precious Cheese-kun. I will never understand why she loves those things, or why she has such an appetite for pizza. She snuggled into her blankets, or should I say my blankets, turned her back to me, and seemingly feel asleep.

I sat there at my desk for another few minutes before deciding to join her in sleep. I debated sleeping on the bed with her and seeing her reaction in the morning. But then I realized with her abilities, I might not live to see morning, and that could be very bad indeed. I unrolled my futon and got out the blankets and pillows that I would need. When I had laid down and closed my eyes, she spoke.

"Lelouch?"

"Hmm?"

"Sleep with me."

I was shocked to say the least. The witch needed companionship? What kind of sick joke was this? I turned onto my side and ignored her. I would soon regret that as she jumped on top of me crushing my hips.

"Didn't you hear me the first time?" She was growling at me now… Maybe she was serious? I sighed and winced as I attempted to get up. By the time I had gotten myself settled she had already wrapped herself up and was watching me with amusement as I struggled to grab my blankets on the floor. Wordlessly, she handed me one of hers and promptly blushed. Now this was quite a change. Since when did C.C., the arrogant witch, make such pointless emotional gestures.

"Don't get used to it." Was all she could say. I smiled, and took her offered blanket. It wasn't long before I found her in my arms though. Of course she had some lame excuse ready for me, such as: "I thought you'd be cold" or "This might be your only time in bed with a female, enjoy it." Regardless, I held her tightly as I had just minutes ago. I whimsically thought that: 'today was just another day full of pointless gestures, words, thoughts, and actions wasn't it.' I would never admit it to her, and I knew she would never ever admit to me. But we shared a hell of a lot more than the contract I had taken up ages ago. Now if only we knew what we shared… Maybe this wouldn't be as awkward as it is now.

And that is fin for chapter one. After this chapter, the next chapter will be determined by your reviews and what you want the topic on. I will pick a random topic from the reviews. And if no one suggests a topic, I'll just find one 
