Title : Old Friends and Jealousy
Characters : Lelouch, Said Old Friend And Sekrit Romantic Interest
Words : Breaking the drabble limit a bit at 109.
Summary : Someone gets to touch Lelouch the way he doesn't, and he's unhappy. Also : chess.



It has been sometime since he'd met Lelouch, Chessboard realized, months since he last felt the boy's gentle yet confident touch on his plastic skin. Since the last triumphant tap of a checkmate. And it was all for that Fishbowl masquerading as a mask.

Chessboard stared at the Fishbowl's suitcase murderously. Why did something so uncouth and unrefined, as opposed to venerable chess, had the chance to touch Lelouch's cheeks, his lips, his neck---why, when as lifelong a friend as Chessboard never got the chance? He knew humans were fickle, but Lelouch was different. He knew Lelouch was different.

So why had this adulterous affair continue?


Yes, it is Chessboard/Lelouch/Fishbowl. Any takers?

You looked like you'd kill me if I don't! XD

I can't write something that does not end on a poignant note. It's a trademark, you know. Have to keep going or they'll revoke it.

Adequately heartbreaking, though? YOU BROKE MY HEART I'LL CRY IN A CORNER IT'S NOT SAD ENOUGH. ;____;

Well, you still did a good job XD. I feel for Chessboard, I really do. If I were standing in its, er, casing and had endured cold marble all my days after Target for my stolen sekrit love, I wouldn't rest until I saw glass shards too. That said, it should watch 25. It would love Suzaku for what he did.

My favourite line and the most hitting. I was slain by the sheer force of sorrow and longing, you know. I could even hear it fiddle a lamentation or sing enka.
