The door knob began to turn and Lelouch's heart rate quickened as he pushed Rolo off him. Both exchanged panicked looks, but Rolo quickly took control of the situation and—

Time stopped. It was always an unsettling feeling to Lelouch and probably to observant people in general. It felt like those moments when you forgot what you were going to say or even déjà vu. Strange how much meaning time has on humans.

Lelouch gasped for air even though he had been breathing normally.

"What's wrong? And why are all the lights out?" Suzaku flipped the lights and Lelouch shielded himself from the light and Suzaku's concerned eyes.

Despite all he's done, you still struggle to say angry at him, Suzaku sighed to himself as he glanced around the room. He was sure Lelouch was up to something, but the room looked exactly as he left it save for the bed looking messier.

"Lelouch, starving yourself and making the room messier won't save you. You're lucky we gave you this room. It's really only for political prisoners and well…"

"When the rich Britanians commit crimes, they come here. When the Japanese commit crimes, they're lucky to end up in a legitimate prison. Do you really want your people to suffer like this?"

"Change the system within the system. And can you stop trying to start arguments? I'm tired and decided it would be nice to spend dinner with you."

Lelouch's body was sticky from the sweat and honey. He needed to shower and worried about making Suzaku suspicious so he turned his back to Suzaku.

"Go eat with your precious Knights."

"Why do you always have to be so difficult?"

His voice is so much different…Lelouch thoroughly regretted the afternoon's activities. This was the Suzaku he knew. The Suzaku he loved. He remained silent.

"Lelouch, I'm tired…please," Suzaku's voice grew increasingly tired as well as gentle.

"Fine, I spilled honey on myself when trying to eat because I sneezed and now I'm embarrassed." Lelouch knew it was a stupid lie, but he was banking on Suzaku's stupidity and poor memory to realize that Suzaku had seen Lelouch put on a shirt earlier today. Lelouch's typically made very calculated risks and today was…

"Lelouch, you don't need to put on airs for me."

no exception.

Lelouch rose from the bed and faced Suzaku. Suzaku took a good look at Lelouch, but his tired eyes lingered longer as it took the boy more time to process what he was seeing. Those extra seconds made Lelouch feel more naked than he had ever felt in his entire life. Suzaku lurched for the bed and Lelouch's eyes widened only to be disappointed as Suzaku grabbed the sheets off the mattress and not the remaining clothes on Lelouch's body.

"I'll get rid of these. Head into the bathroom," he paused, "Actually wait; I need to lock you in the bathroom…"

Lelouch knew Suzaku was tired, but Lelouch was still in no position to overpower Suzaku and escape. He just did as he was told and followed Suzaku in. The bathroom was as gorgeous as the room. A granite sink with his toiletry needs beside it. A toilet tucked away in a corner. A shower with four glass panels and a bathtub next to it. The bathroom was windowless and there were no electrical outlets. He sighed at his beautiful prison.

Suzaku demonstrated how to use the shower, but sprayed himself with water in the process. A devilish thought crossed over Lelouch as he stripped and entered the shower.

"This is how you start it, right?" Lelouch's voice's honey-smooth voice echoed catching Suzaku's attention. Lelouch's hands went straight to his penis as he stimulated masturbating to Suzaku.

Suzaku stood mouth agape for several seconds until he let out a nervous laugh, "This is a new low. Even for you, Lelouch."

Lelouch said nothing, but pressed his upper body against the glass. Nipples and penis erect. "Too tired, Suzu?" Lelouch's voice taunted and teased Suzaku's ears.

"Never too tired for you." Suzaku stepped back into the shower with Lelouch. Lelouch coyly used his hand cuffed hands to ensare Suzaku as he pulled Suzaku into a kiss. Lelouch traced Suzaku's back muscles with his fingers as their tongues reunited. Lelouch's hands searched for the zipper to Suzaku's combat suit as Suzaku's arms held Lelouch.

Lelouch felt Suzaku's bulge, but his hands were still cuffed so he was unable to do anything about it. Much to his surprise he whined as they kissed. Suzaku ignored Lelouch and would even stop kissing just to hear Lelouch whine more. Suzaku took a free hand and teased Lelouch's cock.

Lelouch broke the kiss.

"You. Bastard. S-stop," he hated how he kept whining and panting as he spoke.

Suzaku abruptly stopped and stepped away. Lelouch glared at him, but much to Lelouch's delight, Suzaku had stepped away to unzip his suit (from the front as Lelouch had idiotically searched for a zipper in the back).

"Now, finish what you started," Lelouch demanded.

Suzaku laughed, but there was something eerie about it. Lelouch noticed a familiar darkness loom in Suzaku's eyes. Not this again, he shuddered. This dark persona of Suzaku's coming out whenever they were in the heat of things was starting to worry Lelouch. Yet again, he was in no position to do anything about it, but just observe.

"No, suck my dick first," retorted Suzaku. Lelouch rolled his eyes, but got on his knees and delicately placed his lips around Suzaku's member. Suzaku's hands took fistfuls of Lelouch's hair and moved Lelouch's head so quickly the boy almost lost balance. The ground was hard and between the sucking, hot water, and steam, it was difficult to breathe.

He's getting so fucking sadistic, Lelouch wanted to gag as he felt Suzaku's semen crawl down his throat.

Suzaku finally let go, "Hurry up and get ready for bed. Don't be ready to sleep yet."

Lelouch glared watching Suzaku leave the bathroom.
