I settled for a park that was quite a way from the house. It was empty despite it being the weekend. I sat down on one of the swings.

"Fancy seeing you here," a cheerful voice sung.

I looked up; Suzaku was stood above me. I smiled up at him as he took a seat on the swing next to me.

"Haven't seen you in a while. Is everything alright with Nunally?" he asked.

I nodded without looking at him. I couldn't get sucked in by his cheerfulness; it would make me forget that I was a bad person for tying him down like I was.

"How about you?" he asked.

I slowly turned my head to look at him. I didn't like being a burden so I kept my emotions deep under the surface; however Suzaku always seemed to see through my act.

"Nothing's wrong," I answered standing up."I've gotta get home."

He nodded like he was deep in thought.

"Will you stop by tomorrow?" he asked as I began to walk away. "I need to talk to you about something important."

"Sure," I said walking off.


I shoved my hands into the pockets of my jacket as I trudged home. The sky had grown dark and the air was a lot colder. I hunched my shoulders as I walked past a streetlamp that flickered before going out. I stopped. I could feel eyes drilling into my back.

"Don't move," a voice whispered as arms were wrapped round my waist and hot breath tickled the back of my neck.

"Let go!" I said, my teeth gritted and I moved my arms to pull away at his hands.

He quickly spun me around to face him. I looked up; it was Lelouch. His expression was serious.

"Don't move," he repeated as he tilted my chin and kissed me.

I was far too shocked to move let alone stop him. But when he licked my lips asking for permission I pushed him away. I wiped my mouth on my jacket and took another step away from him.

"What do you think you're doing?!" I yelled.

"There was some guy stalking you," he replied. "I was just getting rid of him."

He looked around quickly and spotting nobody his face relaxed. I could tell I had a disgusted look on my face when he took a step towards me.

"You seem to have forgotten," he began, "That I promised I would protect you."

"I don't care what we promised; we were young back then. I don't need you to protect me. I don't want anything to do with you."

His features saddened and I turned to leave.

"You're getting married in three months," he said. "But is that what you really want?!"

"It has nothing to do with you," I said walking away.


After he left, I'd not wanted to see him again. I don't think I over reacted. He shouldn't have kissed me for whatever reason. I only ever wanted to kiss one person and that was Suzaku. And the only reason I wanted to kiss him was because one day we'd have to do more; I didn't want to be fumbling through every thing the first time we decided to do it. My parents expected us to have children as did his mother. I didn't oppose to having sex with him. For most women it was a action that shows that you are deeply trusting in the other person; for me it was enjoyable, nothing more nothing less. That was why he was the only one I wanted to kiss but... His lips... They were soft like Suzaku's.


When I got home, I found Kallen and Nunally asleep on the sofa. I found a blanket to cover them with before going to my room. I didn't go to sleep though.

It was past midnight when there was a knock on my door. Kallen entered my room with a blanket draped over her shoulders. She yawned rubbing her eyes.

"You're parents are home," she said. "It's about time I left."

She crossed the room handing me the blanket.

"See you soon," she said walking towards the door.

"Kallen?!" I began and she stopped by the door.

She turned towards me smiling.

"It's cold outside,so just stay here tonight," I said.

She frowned, "I don't think I should."

"They don't hate you for what happened," I assured her.

Reluctantly she shut the door and took a seat on my bed.


Kallen was fast asleep when I woke up. I decided to let her sleep and instead left a note before leaving the house.

I reached Suzaku's house around eleven and was immediately let in by his assistant.

"He's been waiting for you for hours," Gino said as he led me through the corridors.

"I'm sorry, he didn't tell me what time I should have come," I replied.

"It's alright," he said smiling at me.

He opened the large oak doors to Suzaku's private chambers.

"Suzaku?!" Gino said stepping inside. "C2 is here."

Suzaku turned in his desk chair and stood up to greet me.

"Thanks Gino," he said as the blonde man bowed.

Gino, before leaving the room, winked at me. I stood there puzzled by it until Suzaku walked round the desk and took my hand.

"C-C2!?" he stuttered. "If it's not to much to ask... Can we have sex before the wedding?!"
