Make friends or die

Characters: Suzaku, Shinji and open
Setting: Room 2-06, Powered floors
Format: Either
Summary: End of week shadow shenanigans
Warnings: general shadow warnings

[For Shinji] His collar was dangerously light, the palest yellow and Suzaku stumbled as he climbed the staircase.

When I commanded you to live for the sake of the world, I did not mean instead of the world. Lelouch's voice was cutting, and had been a constant companion this week. Instead of me, instead of Nunnally

Lelouch wasn't the only shadow, Suzaku was surrounded, some of these people he didn't even know, but they all said the same thing. A world that doesn't exist is not the same as a peaceful world. Why would you do this?

The voices continues and Suzaku grew weaker, until he stopped in one of the lounges, sitting down, closing his eyes.

I don't know why big brother ever trusted you.

But just as Suzaku gave up his eyes opened, flashing red. He made his way to his room, the group of shadows following him, stopping for nothing as he entered his room, eyes still rimmed red.

[Open] It happened every time, just as Suzaku seemed to give up, was ready to let the final colour drain from his collar his Geass kicked in, sending him towards people, sometimes those he knew, and sometimes strangers. The journeys themselves he couldn't remember, a gap between closing his eyes and stood blinking in front of someone, on a totally different floor than when he had began.

It was just as he was about to kick the ball into the goal - suddenly someone was in front of him and he found himself skidding to a halt, almost falling over.

"Whoa!" Once he was sure he had his balance again, he placed his hands on his hips. "Hey! You have to be careful! Running out onto the field like that can be a little dangerous!" ...and then realization dawns on him, despite his shadows telling him how stupid he sounded for even thinking this. "Oi, or were you trying to block my score? Are you a defender?" His mouth spread into a grin as his teammates reminded him that no one would want to play soccer with him. Who'd want to play soccer with such a terrible captain?

Suzaku blinked and saw the boy trying to regain his balance, blinking as he realised he was on the playing field.

"I apologise." He looked startled at the question, he hadn't played soccer since he was a small kid, much younger than the boy in front of him. And then it had been him kicking a ball around on his own, or making Lelouch stand in goals whilst he scored (Lelouch probably had never even tried to block the ball).

So he went to shake his head, because he wasn't a defender. But his shadows were making their way over the playing field and Suzaku's eyes flashed red again, and he kicked the ball towards himself.

"Whoa!" That was a technique he hadn't seen before. He was suddenly really excited. This guy played soccer! And...well it kind of looks like he wants to play with him!

Whether he does or doesn't, Endou chases after the ball anyway, aiming to steal it away from Suzaku. "I'll get the north goal, you get the south. One on one!"

Sorry Suzaku. He's kind of a soccer freak.

Suzaku blinked as he realised he was now in the middle of a soccer match, but he nodded, because he knew the Geass wasn't letting him be alone, and it was easier to just go along with it.

"Alright." He wondered which one was the south goal, and hoped he could figure it out by which way Endou was kicking.

"Alright!" Certainly he could, because Endou was definitely aiming to score a point. Though he kept an eye on Suzaku too. This was a new opponent, so who knew what hissatsu he had up his sleeves! And without any of his teammates, he didn't really have any scoring ones of his own.

This was so great, playing against someone new. It had to be his favorite feeling in the world. Well, aside from maybe blocking a goal successfully. That was a pretty great feeling too. But then so was dribbling the ball down the field. Or jumping out of goal to help score a point!!

Okay, so soccer was his favorite feeling. Just...all of it. Everything having to do with it. He wore a grin as he ran down the field, eyes glinting with competition. Bring it on, mister!

Suzaku ran after him, watching the ball move and getting used to it, he wasn't smiling though, but his eyes were determined as he moved in and tried to tackle the ball off Endou.

He did his best to play keep away, but it'd been a while since he'd played anything but goalkeeper, so if Suzaku was persistent enough he got the ball. But the boy didn't seem too disappointed or discouraged by it.

"Hey! What's your name?"

Suzaku got the ball but seemed almost unsure what he was doing with it. A moment later he began dribbling it towards the goal. "Suzaku Kururugi."

"It's nice to meet you, Suzaku!" Endou isn't bothering to get the ball back. He's moving to the goal. He's going to get the ball back as any good goalkeeper does.

"It is nice to meet you too..." He paused not knowing the boys name and continued running towards the goal, when he thought he was close enough he kicked it, trying to score.

"Endou! Endou Mamoru!" He was pretty sure that's what the guy was looking for. When the kick was made, the goalkeeper leaped for it, refusing to let the ball into the net. With a grin, he tossed it back to Suzaku.

"You'll need to use a kick a lot stronger than that to get by me!" After rolling his shoulder, he patted his hands together. "Or show me some of your hissatsu!"

Suzaku caught the ball, and blinked. "Hissatsu?"

"Yeah! Like how you just suddenly appeared on the field. That was some kind of hissatsu, wasn't it?" Come on, dude. People can't just do that for no good reason!

He blinked in confusion, "No." He shook his head, "I am unsure what you mean by hissatsu."

"Oh." But wait, he performed a hissatsu... "Alright well. Try and score again, and I'll show you what a hissatsu is!"

Suzaku blinked and then nodded, dropped the ball and kicking again, harder this time, towards the goal.

And Endou smiled, pulling his hand back as if he was going to punch the ball - which is exactly what he was planning to do. As he pulled his fist back around, his knuckles lit ablaze, the fire engulfing his entire hand as it connected with the ball.

"Nekketsu Punch!" Just like that, the ball was sent flying away from the goal, leaving the keeper standing there with a dumb grin on his face.

"That is a hissatsu technique!"

Um... Was his hand just on fire? And he had just punched the ball...

Suzaku stood there looking completely surprised, he would have thought, after all this time in this tower nothing would surprise him anymore.

His hand was on fire, yes. And yes, he did punch the ball. But that wasn't even his most impressive technique.

As Suzaku stood there, Endou continued grinning...until the other guy didn't say anything. And then tilted his head a little.

"...yo, Suzaku, is something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I have never seen soccer played like that before." An interesting form of magic.

That smile returns to his face as he laughs. "This is how soccer is played back home! But even if it's different, soccer is still soccer."

"I guess it is. I don't think I will be able to score even one goal against you though."

"Why not? All it takes is some confidence!" Sure, Endou has hissatsu techniques on his side, but he's sure if Suzaku put his mind to it, he could develop some of his own. And even if he couldn't, he's obviously got some pretty cool tricks up his sleeves!

Suzaku wasn't sure how to deal with this much optimism, but he nodded.

"What other hissatsu techniques do you know?"

Endou was all optimism, all the time.

And all energy, all the time as well.

He's ecstatic that Suzaku wants to know more, grinning from ear to ear and clenching his hands into fists of excitement.

"I know a lot! Well okay not a lot, but the ones I do know are great! I know some great goal keeper ones," at this he acts as if he's blocking a shot, "and even a few shots," cue kicking an imaginary ball, "but those I can't really do without my friends. But I can show you my keeper techniques!"

"Okay then, you can show me them." He nods, "Do you wish me to try and score again?"
