The morning after the incident with the Stray had revealed Lelouch's power, the Knight was making scrambled eggs for a waiting Koneko who was still asleep in bed.
He turned the stove off once he was sure he made enough food, enough to satisfy even her gluttonous appetite.
He carried the set of plates up the stairs, already dressed in his uniform and ready to go having risen early again thanks to yet another annoying dream that he couldn't remember.
Even though school wouldn't start for hours, he was already wide awake. He knocked on the door, ignoring the cute white sign shaped like a cat's face with Koneko's name written on it hanging in the middle.
"Koneko, rise and shine!" Lelouch shouted with false cheer. He wasn't looking forward to the conversation about his power that he inadvertently revealed the previous night, but wanted to get it over with.
"I'm coming in!" He announced for her benefit and got a sleepy glare in return from the adorable Koneko as she was practically buried under her covers.
"It's too early to be alive." She groaned after seeing her glare didn't affect him, probably because her hair was all over the place.
Damn bedhead making her look less threatening. At least she had managed to conceal her features before he walked in.
She covered her head with her blanket and growled like a kitten. Though in her head she would maintain it sounded like a lion.
"Why are you up so early?" She whined pitifully. She felt her bed dip and sniffed as she smelled Lelouch's cooking.
Unable to resist, Koneko slowly sat up, not letting up on her glare. "Damn you and your bribes." She grumbled with a hissing yawn, stretching her arms above her head.
Lelouch blinked slightly at Koneko's choice of sleepwear. She had lavender, bicep length silk gloves covering her arms along with a magenta top.
The top connected around her throat like a collar, a bow in the center of it, while the bra cups had magenta shaded stripes and it only went down to a little past her stomach, revealing her toned midriff.
"Koneko, isn't that a little… risqué?" Lelouch asked curiously after she sat up and cursed at him when he sat down with their breakfast in his lap.
She must have been very comfortable around him to be willing to wear something so revealing.
"What's wrong with a girl wanting to feel sexy?" She grumbled, though she couldn't conceal a blush.
She had wanted to get comfortable after that disgusting Stray had nearly eaten her, so she picked out one of her more relaxing outfits. No one had ever seen her in it before and it was a little embarrassing.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Lelouch chuckled, sweating slightly. He wasn't touching that with a ten-foot pole.
He lifted up the tray as she crawled into his lap unexpectedly revealing her magenta shaded panties and lavender stockings.
"What are you doing?" He nearly squeaked. Lelouch didn't think she had feelings for him, but he hadn't always been the best at judging that sort of thing in the past. Was this her way of being bold?
"Trapping you so you can't run away." She declared unknowingly shooting down his theory about her feelings for him as she got comfortable and reached up for the tray.
She grunted. Damn her shortness! "Feed me and explain." The petite Devil who could crush him with a single punch ordered from his lap.
Lelouch had a feeling he had pissed off someone up there as he felt Koneko squeeze his side with her hand, trying to force him to drag down the tray he held above his head. He had forgotten her Rook strength for a moment.
His mobility was limited and she was free to crush his side at her leisure. He was trapped alright, there was no way he was getting out of his explanation now.
She was ridiculously light, thanks to her petite body, but, as he could feel from the pinching in his side, she was strong despite her size.
He lowered the tray over her lap, glad he had picked a wooden one since a metal tray would have burned her exposed thighs.
"Can we move? I'm a little uncomfortable on the edge of your bed." He could feel himself falling off as her blanket shifted underneath him.
With a nod, Koneko let him shift until he was leaning against her pillows as she had done last week when explaining how he had become a Devil and resumed her place in his lap, nibbling on the eggs he had brought up for her.
"Thanks for breakfast." She said with sincerity as she tasted her friend's scrambled eggs. 'Yum!' She thought as she tried to pace herself and leave some for Lelouch.
"If you want I can wait." Lelouch said as he chewed on his own morsel, glad Koneko was eating slower than the other morning. "The talk will take some time." Koneko nodded and the pair ate in silence.
Once they finished their breakfast, Koneko placed the tray down next to the Knight and Rook pair on her bed and looked up at Lelouch.
"Now, spill." She ordered, leaning back into him and getting comfortable for what was likely going to be a long conversation. She pulled up the blankets to cover them up to her waist, attempting to warm herself up as Lelouch's body heat wasn't enough for her.
"I would prefer it if you kept this secret from everyone else, can you do that for me?" Lelouch began, waiting for Koneko's nod before continuing.
"Okay, here we go." Lelouch took a deep breath, ignoring the scent he accidentally picked up from Koneko's hair, she liked fruity shampoo apparently, and he began his story.
Koneko listened carefully to Lelouch's heartbeat, prepared to catch any lies, as she leaned against his chest.
She wouldn't let him get out of this, she wanted to know about her friend's strange crimson eyes.
"Once there was a young boy, desperate to protect his younger sister." He began, preparing a heavily abridged but semi-truthful version of his story before he got to its effects.
