Summary; Their group of four became two hugging couples.
Log;

Things had finally quieted down a little after Lavi had decided to use the hugging curse to get Euphie and Allen together and then promptly got attached to Lelouch in the process. She still wasn't sure why that was necessary in the first place, but she wouldn't mind so much except Allen still seems very uncomfortable. She was glad when he agreed to go outside for a little while. She was aware of how much warmer he was and maybe he'd be less aware of it if it were cool everywhere...

Glancing up, she wonders if Lavi and Lelouch can see them from the apartment's living room. It's not like they'd be spying though. And hopefully they are getting along.

(OOC: *sob* Thought this kind of needed an additional post for their individual threads because of the way we did the threading on the first one.)

Oh-ho-ho. Of course he was going to spy when this was his plan to begin with. He somewhat struggled to walk over to the window, trying to ignore the fact that he had a monkey on his back. It didn't matter what Lelouch said; he was going to watch Allen and Euphemia.

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

Allen sighed quietly, looking out to the streets of the City. This was horrible, and he was quite certain the red on his cheeks were not going away. Damn curse, of all the people...couldn't this be reversed? Not that he wanted to be stuck to anyone all day, but at least he knew Lavi enough to be that close...he'd hugged him before, right? And Lelouch and Euphemia were siblings...but no, it just had to work out this way...Allen would definitely punch Lavi after this.

Definitely.

"I'm..um...I'm sorry about this, Euphemia. I didn't hurt you when I ran into you, did I?"

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

Lelouch, on the other hand, would be flailing if not for the idiot attached to his front. As it were, he was instead doing his best to stare out the window as well. His sister was at stake here!

[deadly_legacy]

"No, not at all, Allen. It's fine. Really. I just hate seeing everyone so upset." Because it is a little bit stressful right now, and she isn't exactly feeling up to dealing with more stress.

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

"Don't worry about us. We've all been through much, much worse," he said with a smile, trying to comfort her. "I've going to kill Lavi. This is all his fault. Pushing someone at a woman! He could have hurt you."

[the-lavster.livejournal.com]

Allen needed a woman in his life, Lavi thought. But Lelouch was so damn protective of his sister... Frowning, he turned his head just barely to determine what side the other was looking from, and casually leaned his head in that direction to obstruct his vision.

[deadly_legacy]

"You say that like it's easy."

She smiles at him a little. It's odd having him so close without moving away. "I'm not that fragile, Allen." And you aren't that large. "I just don't really understand why he did it."

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

He huffed into that red mop of hair. How irritating. So Lelouch would go to the other side.

[the-lavster.livejournal.com]

Lavi noticed the movement, momentarily giving in as he returned his attention to the pair outside. "Are you really that curious?"

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

For Allen. it was much odder. He was a gentleman. He liked being a gentlemen. It was moral. It was right. So to to be so close to a girl, with their faces inches apart and her...her chest pressed against him? And he couldn't pull away?! This was so wrong.

So, so wrong. He's smile fell into uneasiness and guilt.

"He likes to cause trouble, that's why. He probably had no motive at all."

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

"What brother wouldn't be? She and Nunnally are the only two sisters of mine that I ever really liked," he replied.

Then he rolled his eyes.

"While Allen seems decent enough, I'm not willing to just give her away to anyone."

[deadly_legacy]

"At least it's nothing dangerous unless we have to run from something." There's a bit of silence and for every moment that passes she can almost feel it filling with awkwardness. "So...how have you been, Allen?"

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

"You're right. At least we're safe." He managed a small smile. And then, "I can't complain. I'm getting used to this place....Yourself?"

[the-lavster.livejournal.com]

Out of countless others? That was a little surprising, but then again, Lavi didn't know the whole story behind Lelouch and Euphemia's lives and he wasn't sure he wanted to.

"Allen's got a few faults." Like harboring the memories of a Noah who would eventually overtake him, but hey. "But I think they both could use someone like each other while they're here. It's not like they have much to look forward to back home... right?" Why yes, that 'right' did have a cynical tone.

[deadly_legacy]

"I'm...fine." She smiles back at him, but it's a little thin. She's never been good at masking her emotions. "I've been spending a lot of time in our apartment lately."

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

He's no genius but he knows better than that. "Really? How come?"

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

The ironic thing would be that Lelouch didn't even have much to look forward to either. Lavi's comment actually made Lelouch chuckle a bit, a light smile dancing on his lips. It would be over... He just needed to get back.

"Until the deities decide to curse your little attempt at match-making, Lavi."

[deadly_legacy]

"Ah, no reason." Her lying is more transparent than her fake smiles.

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

"You..." He frowned and looked away.

"You don't have to tell me."

[deadly_legacy]

She is glad he isn't looking at her, because she can't hide the sadness in her expression.

"Allen..." She pauses again, wondering if maybe she should explain a little, but the way he says she doesn't have to reminds her of another conversation.

"Why did you react that way when I told you I'd died?"

[the-lavster.livejournal.com]

Lavi didn't like Lelouch. He really didn't like him. Maybe the dislike stemmed from that nightmare... or just how shady he seemed overall. He wondered if he and Euphemia were both hiding some deep, dark secrets.

"Hell, anything's possible here-- but this is just wrong; stop breathing down my neck, would you?"

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

Allen didn't move, focused on finding an answer to her question. He didn't really have an answer. At that time, he was so bothered by having her know such personal information...he hadn't really even thought about it.

"I'm sorry. I was upset. It...it wasn't your fault, and I was acting strangely, wasn't I?" he asked, a nervous, apologetic smile moving her way.

"It didn't have anything to do with what you said...though, thinking on it now...I'd say that even if you're dead, you're alive here, to me. So I don't suppose it matters to me. You're still the same person."

[deadly_legacy]

So, he doesn't find her disturbing or upsetting for it? "Thank you, Allen." She smiles a little. "I'd hug you, but I don't think you'd know the difference."

Oh! But she could give him a little kiss on the cheek, and so she does.

[clownsprout.livejournal.com]

Good job, Euphie. Allen's mind just shut down for a moment. And another. And-...oh, look! He's back. Looking fiercely embarrassed.

"Miss Euphie!" it easily sounded more like the childish whine of a flustered boy than anything angry or disgusted. And that's because he wasn't. He really was just terribly flustered.

He's just not used to these things!

[deadly_legacy]

She just blinks in surprise for a moment and then smiles sweetly at him, trying to bite back a giggle. "Allen, you blush so easily."
