Steve Conte - Heaven's Not Enough ♫♪

♪♫ and heaven's not enough
if when I'm there I don't remember you
and heaven does enough
you think you know it
and it uses you ♪♫

[ No sex, please. Or gore. But angst, drama, some light romance are okay..... ~~Anything within the scope of its Canon....?~~ ]

It had been seventeen years since the empress had taken the throne and 14 since Japan had formally returned to being under it's own governance, although there were still Britannians who chose to live there. Sheryl had only moved to the country recently, her father's company opening an office there.

She'd been upset to be leaving her friends behind, but she'd had little trouble making new friends at the school near their home. At the moment though, she was running a few minutes late thanks to having to take a detour. So when she entered the classroom, everyone turned to look before she slid into her seat.

By lunchtime, she was ready to give up on the day. Someone clearly had it out for her, which is why she'd elected to find a quiet spot under a tree to eat.

Ashford Academy was one of Japan's most prestigious schools, if not the most prestigious. In addition to have world-class facilities - the kind that made people blink twice when they read its pamphlets. It had its own equestrian club, for example - it was also famous for being the alma mater of some of the current world's most recognizable names: Empress Nunnally vi Britannia, Kallen Kouzuki, Milly Ashford... Suzaku Kururugi, and Lelouch vi Britannia.

It was enough to make anyone feel just a bit overwhelmed. Anyone, normal, that is. Harold Labelle was, honestly, not impressed with his parents' choice of school. They were Britannian nobles, yes, but minor ones at best. He doubted they needed this level of extravagance even if they could afford it. And it wasn't like being enrolled in a school like this would improve their situations much, even if it kept his father's co-workers from gossiping about their 'destitution'.

"Looks like we're late- that was the lunch bell earlier, wasn't it, brother?" His little brother said coming up beside him.

Harold shrugged and then pushed up the horn-rimmed glasses up his nose. "Probably."

His brother frowned up at him. "You're not planning to skip, are you?"

"What makes you think that, Rolo?"

His little brother's frown intensified. "I told you not to call me that in school! What if my new classmates hear?"

"What? You don't want to be called 'Rolo-kun'? They might give you free chocolates that way..."

"Not funny. You try being called 'Rolo-kun' for a change and see if you like it."

Harold smiled and opened his mouth to counter that. Before he could say anything though, that frown on his brother's face intensified even more - and his brother had a really scary angry face - so he laughed and waved his hands in surrender instead. "Fine, Raymond. Your dear brother won't call you Rolo in school."

The frown disappeared, giving way to a bright smile. "Promise, okay?"

"Promise," Harold said simply and left it at that. Truth was, Raymond's obsession with Rolo chocolates was likely going to earn him the nickname here too, but Harold didn't really feel like ruining the fun for Raymond yet.

"Great!" Raymond chirped before breaking into a jog. "I'll see you later! Don't skip any classes, okay?"

"Yeah. I won't," he called back.

"Oh and-" Raymond was a ways from Harold when he jogged back. He had a serious look on his face. "And if anyone bullies my big brother, you have to tell me and I'll beat them up! Okay?"

"I can deal with them just fine, you know." Harold laughed, but Raymond insisted again before leaving again with a wave.

Another reason Harold didn't like the idea of being enrolled in a place like this was because of the famous people who studied here before. It was bad enough at normal schools, being here was going to be an absolute nightmare. This was because Harold had the great misfortune of, somehow, bearing a great resemblance to Lelouch vi Britannia. He wouldn't call their treatment of him outright bullying, but Harold didn't like the long, cold stares they would give him once they start realizing. And, he found, wearing horn-rimmed glasses and keeping his bangs long didn't help that much. It just made some of them brazen enough to walk up to him and ask for him to remove his glasses.

It was a pain, basically, and was probably one of the reasons he liked skipping classes. The other being the fact that classes were a chore. He did just fine in his subjects without attending most of the classes anyway.

"Sorry, Rolo, I think I'll just nap in a tree over there... That's not really skipping, is it?"

And that was how he found himself sharing the tree with Sheryl. Only, he didn't really know she was there until later...

[ Mun apologizes for the tl;dr. I JUST FELT LIKE PUTTING ROLO THERE. AND NO HE WON'T KILL YOU... maybe. This time. :'D ]
