This is my first fanfiction... so don't expect too much... alright?

Nunnally awoke suddenly, nearly falling off her bed in alarm.

Did Brother just scream?! she thought, her features etched with worry. She hastily climbed on her wheelchair and rolled out of her room with the precision and speed of one who had done this many times before. She stopped in front of her beloved brother's room and was about to knock when the horrifying sound came again. She burst in the room, her wheelchair screeching to a halt and in her haste she almost fell over.

"Brother, are you alright?!" she demanded. There was a silence that followed after her enquiry and she could hear a rustling noise.

"Brother?!" she questioned once again, hands reaching out blindly, searching for something that might give her a clue as to what had happened as her wheelchair slowly moved forward. Her hands were caught by another set of hands and she immediately recognized the familiar palm and fingers and leaned against her chair in relief.

Sighing, she asked, "Brother, what happened? What was that noise?"

There was a slight pause and then he answered, "Sorry Nunnally, if I woke you. I was…having a bad dream." Nunnally noticed a slight shaking in Lelouch's hands, but dismissed it as an aftereffect of the nightmare.

"I'm glad you're alright, Brother." She smiled as she felt him kiss the top of her head.

"Thank you for your concern Nunnally, now go back to sleep."

She nodded her consent and slowly rolled out of the room. As soon as she was gone, Lelouch sagged against the door, resting his head on the cool wood as his face.

That was close, he thought, a sigh escaping his lips.

"A bad dream eh?" came a voice behind him, its tone heavy with sarcasm and irritation.

"It was the only excuse I could think of," he replied, a smile playing on his lips as he turned around and made his way across his room.

"You, the king of lies and excuses, couldn't think of anything?! Tch, you arrogant little…" the angry voice trailed off at the end, muttering incoherent threats.

"Hey Lelouch?"

"Yes, Kallen?" he responded, as he lay down next to the still-somewhat-angry redhead sprawled across his bed.

"This might sound cruel… but I'm kinda glad that Nunnally is blind."

Is it too short?! Do I have bad grammar?! Is it completely and utterly horrendous?! GAH!!
