Sorry for the delay. I haven't been doing much of anything lately (just can't bring myself to for some reason), so this took a long time to get out (I finished it in 2 days though).
I really like writing this story. I already have a general idea of where it's going so just adding some connecters to the main parts isn't that hard. I really like how this chapter in particular turned out. And 12 pages of just story!!
I hope everyone enjoys this. Please R & R. And tell your friends!

Green eyes shot open wide before shutting tightly once more as their owner turned his head to the side. Suzaku bit his lip to hold back the moans that threatened to escape. His male lover leaned down from where his was positioned above him and began licking and nipping at the younger boy's neck. Lelouch chuckled softly against the tan skin and turned his attention to the front of Suzaku's throat. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the bottom of the brunette's throat and slowly trailed it upwards, stopping only to lightly bite the area where neck met chin.
Suzaku let out a breath, instinctively tilting his head straight and back to give the prince more access. Lelouch sucked on the skin for a moment before back down. He wrapped one arm around Suzaku's shoulders and the other around his waist and grabbed his lover's firm ass. He slid his middle finger down to the brunette's entrance and pushed it inside the already filled hole. The knight gasped and growled, pulling his legs back closer to his chest as if urging his love to go deeper.
Lelouch smirked and slowed his pace, for the first time deliberately avoiding Suzaku's prostate. Said brunette glared up at his friend and squirmed in annoyance. His attempted protest was silence with another deep kiss. While the other teen was momentarily distracted, Lelouch took the chance to remove his arm from around Suzaku's back and reached to the tube of heating lube. He dipped his fingers in the open bottle, soaking his fingers in the fluid. He moved his hand to in between them and trailed the base of his hand up the brunette's cock from end to tip. Once at the tip, his pressed one his lubed pinky against the opening. He slowly rubbed the lubricant into the sensitive opening, simultaneously pushing two more fingers into back opening and delivering several sharp thrusts directly to the prostate.
Suzaku's back arched and Lelouch curved his body in turn, not allowing the brunette to break their kiss and instead swallowing it into his own body. The taller form shuddered as its owner was flooded with pleasure. Suzaku squeezed tightly around Lelouch's member, all but forcing the prince to his own orgasm.
Lelouch pulled out and back and sat up. He brought his soiled hand up to his lips and slowly licked the soiled skin as he smirked down at the flushed brunette. Suzaku's eyes slowly narrowed and he smiled. He sat up quickly and wrapped his arms around his lord's waist, pulling him into his lap. Keeping one hand at Lelouch's waist, he used the other to take hold of his elder's wrist and brought it to his mouth, lightly running his tongue from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger. He brought the digit into his mouth and swirled his tongue around it. Lelouch pulled his hand away and kissed his lover again. When the kiss ended, Suzaku leaned closer so that their foreheads touched.
"Your turn."
"Nii-sama?"
The boys immediately pulled away from each other; Suzaku dashing to the window sill where he covered himself with a throw cover while Lelouch moved to sit against the headboard of the bed, pulling their blanket up to his chin.
"Heeey Nunnally." The boys chorused not nervously. The fourteen year old sat at the doorway in her wheelchair. She was clad in a long pale blue nightdress. For once she was without her ninja maid. The girl tilted her head at their nervousness but decided to overlook it.
"Is everything alright?" Her brother asked gently. The girl parted her lips as if to speak then blushed, turning her head down and away. Her protectors frowned in concern. Suzaku stood up and venture a few steps closer (though still a good 15 feet away).
"Nunnally? What's wrong? Are you alright?" he asked. Nunnally tapped her fingers together nervously.
"Umm, I had a bad dream…" she tilted her head up slightly, hopefully. "Would it be okay if I slept with you guys tonight?"
"Of course!" both answered without thinking. The normal Nunnally-induced response. Realizing the mistake two seconds too late, far too late to take it back, the boys cringed. They shared a panicked look. Ever the strategist, Lelouch was the one to come up with a solution.
"Actually Nunnally, Suzaku and I were working on a project on the bed. Can you give us a few minutes to clean things up?" The girl nodded in understanding.
"Do you need any help?"
"NO!" The boys cringed again and Nunnally looked surprised.
"We were actually working with a lot of sharp objects. We don't want you getting cut. Why don't you get a drink of water while you wait?" Suzaku said softly. The girl relaxed. More than anyone she knew how overprotective those two could be. There really was no other explanation as to why, at the age of fourteen, she had never held, much less used, normal scissors. That's right; their home only had safety scissors. Even she knew that was odd.
"Can you get there on your own?" Lelouch asked with uncertainty. Nunnally smiled indulgingly at her sibling.
"Yes, Nii-sama. I'll be fine. Take your time." She turned around in her chair and left the room, closing the door quietly behind her.
The males simply stared at the door for a few seconds, as if she would return if they turned their backs. Realizing that they were safe, they sighed. Then cursed. The teens shared a look. Lelouch immediately grabbed all the…indecent objects and ran to the bathroom connected to his room to start the shower. Suzaku gripped the bottom sheet and pulled all the sheets (comforter included) off the bed in one go. He rolled them into a bundle and tossed it into the closet, pulling out a new set. At speeds that would make Superman look slow, he made the bed, spraying the whole room with air freshener just in case. Lelouch came running out of the bathroom after taking a shower at a rate that could only be broken by Suzaku. The Eleven rushed into the bathroom to shower while the Britannian toweled down and pulled out a set of pajamas for both himself and Suzaku. By the time said brunette exited the bathroom, Lelouch was already half dressed.
Fortunately, getting to the kitchen area, drinking water, and getting back to Lelouch's room took at least six minutes, leaving them with a good 45 seconds to calm down and pretend they hadn't just been running a race against time.
"We lock the door from now on." Lelouch muttered.
"Right."
When Nunnally returned, the boys were lounging on the bed calmly. Lelouch quickly crossed the room and gently lifted the girl from her chair. Suzaku pulled back the sheets and Lelouch lay her down at the center. The boys crawled in after her, Lelouch to her left, Suzaku to her right. Nunnally smiled happily at the two.
"It's been so long since we've done this! All three of us together." She said with fond wistfulness. Suzaku gently ran his hand under her head, smoothing the brown locks down beneath her.
"Yeah. It has been a while, hasn't it? Maybe next time we'll bring chocolate and crackers and make a small fire like the first time." He murmured. Lelouch chuckled and Nunnally giggled happily at the thought.
"Yes! And this time we could have Sayoko-san, C.C.-san and everyone in the student council join us, right?" she asked in excitement, tilted her head to face her brother. He smiled.
"Sure. We'll invite all our friends." The girl smiled and sighed softly, cuddling into her brother's frame as she drifted off to sleep. Lelouch's smile faded as he stared at the young girl. His sister. His family.

CRAAACKKKK
Lelouch opened his eyes slowly at the sound of thunder rattling their home. He sighed softly and rolled over. Violet eyes blinked in surprise at the sight of a small figure standing at the doorway, eyes closed, simply grasping at the door as he waited for the latest crash of thunder and the accompanying lighting to pass. Lelouch's expression softened.
"Rolo." He called quietly. The boy jerked as if he'd been shot. He looked at his brother, flushed and turned away.
"I'm sorry. I just…I just…" He pressed a palm to his forehead. He seemed confused, as if he had no idea as to why he stood at his brother's doorway at two in the morning. He had just come out of instinct. It had seemed like a good idea on the way over. But now he was here. AND he had woken Nii-sama up. Dammit. Rolo shook his head hard and turned away, closing the door.
"Rolo." The boy's head shot up and he looked at his brother over his shoulder. The older Lamperouge smiled gently at him and lifted the comforter. Rolo stood there, staring blankly at his brother, then at the comforter, then at his brother again.
"Come here, Rolo." Lelouch ordered gently. The brunette nodded slowly and took tentative steps closer. He didn't want to be too far away from the door if Lelouch changed his mind. Rolo stood at the bedside now uncertainly. Lelouch chuckled softly, took his brother by the hand and gently, slowly so as not to induce panic, pulled the boy into to the bed and close to him. He replaced the cover over their bodies and wrapped his arms around the smaller frame.
"It's okay." He murmured, "So long as I'm alive, nothing will harm you. You have nothing to fear. I'm right here." Rolo stared up at him with wide eyes.
"Nii-sama…" Lelouch just smiled warmly down at him. The young boy's eyes widened further and he blushed, burying his face in his brother's chest and clutched the soft cloth of Lelouch's pajamas. The former prince chuckle softly and began to stoke the brown hair below him. Rolo sighed softly in comfort as he slowly relaxed into Lelouch's frame.
"Family…" he whispered quietly to himself, "Is this what it means to be loved? How…pleasant…" Lelouch closed his eyes and continued to absently stroke Rolo's hair as he drifted back to dreamland. At the time he hadn't bothered to put any more thought into those words.
He had broken his promise.
-----
A hand came to cup his cheek, thumb gently wiping away tears he hadn't known he had been shedding. Lelouch looked up to meet Suzaku's gaze over Nunnally's head. He smiled gently before flicking the black haired teen in the forehead. Lelouch blinked in surprise and confusion. Was that supposed to be comforting?
"Just because she's here doesn't mean he's not still your brother. For someone so smart, you're so slow sometimes." He finished in a whispered coo, lightly pinching Lelouch's cheek. The older teen glowered.
"Not it." The brunette blinked in confusion at the randomness. Lelouch stared at him with half-lidded eyes.
"C.C. just got a new toy. You get to be the first one to use it when she gets back." Suzaku's eyes widened and he paled. Lelouch closed his eyes and fell asleep to the soft lullaby that was Suzaku's whispered pleas and apologies.
X========X========X
C.C. loved strap-ons.
She thought they were wonderful. All the perks of being a boy without the apparent awkwardness that comes with having external genitalia. She had a small collection (only 34) and she considered herself quite lucky to have two pretty boys to use them on.
Lelouch and Suzaku hated strap-ons.
Well, it wasn't so much the objects themselves but the monster that used them. C.C. had been slowly buying ones that were increasing in their ridiculousness. Some were annoyingly large, others vibrated, or worse- spun-, at speeds that they knew weren't healthy. If they could for the life of them find her dealer, he'd been dead nine ways to Sunday by now. But clearly they couldn't, so he wasn't.
One day.
But worse than all that, C.C. liked to play very…rough with them. Rough being the nicest word they could come with. Hair pulling, profanities that would make sailors blush, bondage, climax holding, you name it. That woman was fucking crazy when she topped. She told them that she was in no way a dominatrix. She simply liked it a little rough. They told her that just because she wasn't in leather and carrying a whip that it didn't mean she wasn't a Dom. So she asked them if they really wanted her to dominate them. Because she could do that if they wished.
Conclusion: C.C. totally wasn't a Dom. She just liked to… experiment with them.
Thus it came as no surprise to find the two boys lying on their stomachs on the bed the next night, too sore to even consider moving, while C.C. sat at the foot of the bed eating pizza without a care in the world.
"It's a miracle that girl's so sweet." She said absently. The boys had just finished telling her of the previous night's events. C.C. had spent the night at the BK's base in Lelouch's place taking care of some last minute things. That and she had been too lazy to bother trekking back and forth. Lelouch looked over his shoulder.
"What are you talking about?" he asked. She gave him a blank stare, a line of melted cheese hanging from her lip.
"She has you two whipped and even she knows it." Suzaku turned his head to stare at the wall.
"She's not the only one." He muttered under his breath. C.C. took another bite of her pizza, getting a long string of cheese as she pulled it away slowly.
"Did Mr. Too-Weak-To-Fight-Back say something?" she asked innocently. Said victim buried his face in the pillow beneath him.
"…No." he mumbled. Lelouch sighed softly.
"I don't get your point, C.C. We pamper her because she deserves it. What does that have to do with her personality?" C.C. set down her slice.
"Let's take a look at the influential people in her childhood. Two ultra-manipulative brothers (Lelouch & Schneizel), a warrior princess sister (Cornelia), a cowardly narcissistic brother (Clovis), two people recklessly stubborn to the point of being near-suicidal (Suzaku & Euphemia), and her parents, who are odd in and of themselves.
"Most, if not all, of which would bend over backwards for her if she so much as whimpered. People who are literally capable of giving her the world if she wanted it. Even if she didn't turn out like one of you freaks it's still odd that she doesn't even try to take advantage of the power she has." Both males cringed. She had a point. Lelouch closed his eyes and lay his head back down on the pillow.
"I guess that just means we did a good job of raising her." He murmured. Suzaku moved to sit up, stopped after he had lifted himself three inches and settled for turning over onto his back.
"Speaking of which, when do you plan to go get Rolo?" he asked. C.C. raised an eyebrow at Lelouch's back curiously.
"I'll probably hack into the Secret Intelligence's mainframe to find out where he is. By now he should be out of the Geass Order's base." The prince said. "The only issue getting him to trust us enough to get close."
"It shouldn't be too hard. If you were able to gain his love once, I'm sure you can do it again. And then you can just give him back his memories." Suzaku stated. The black haired teen scowled.
"I can't be the one to do that. He's my brother." The brunette raised an eyebrow.
"So? What does that-…oh right. The kissing thing." He sighed, "Fine. Why not just have C.C. do it. At least he'll recognize her immediately." Lelouch's scowl deepened.
"I am not leaving him alone with her. God knows what she'll do." Suzaku turned his head to face his boyfriend.
"Come on, Lelouch. I sure she-"
"No, he's right. For someone's who's immortal, he's very fun to play with." She interrupted, a slow wicked smile appearing on her face. Lelouch glared at her over his shoulder before giving Suzaku a 'You see!' look. The brunette covered his eyes and sighed in exasperation. Lelouch blinked slowly, and then his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Suzaku! Why don't you do it?!" The brunette's hand fell from his eyes and he stared at the prince wide eyed for a moment before his gaze narrowed.
"You know damn well that I can't do it. You know only someone with a code or elevated geass can do that. Besides, even if I could, there'd be no point. I barely know him and all his memories of me aren't pleasant. He'd probably attempt to murder me right after." Lelouch buried his face in his pillow again. Sure, he knew that, but that didn't mean he wanted to believe it. Suzaku sighed at the other boy's stubbornness.
"Come on, Lelouch. Considering your family, it can't be all that big of a deal, right? I mean, you've kissed Euphemia, haven't you?" Lelouch's head shot up and he stared at Suzaku with eyes wide in shock.
"How did you- She told you about that?!" Suzaku and C.C. stared at their lover in surprise. The brunette blinked slowly.
"I…I… No. I was just joking. I mean I knew she had crush on you before but…" he shook his head. "Anyway, that kinda proves my point, doesn't it?" Lelouch cringed and let out an annoyed growl. Even though they weren't related by blood, he saw Rolo in the same way he saw Nunnally. Kissing him would just be so…awkward. So now he had to choose between avoiding what was, for all intents and purposes, incest, and saving what little innocence Rolo had left. He out a defeated sigh.
C.C. crawled over and gave him an approving pat on the head. He glared up at her with all the malice of an annoyed kitten. She simply smiled wider. She looked over at Suzaku.
"What about you?" the boy raised an eyebrow.
"What about me?" he asked.
"Aren't you going to bring those friends of yours to our side?" Suzaku stared at her blankly before a light of recognition flashed in his eyes. He looked away.
"Can I?" he murmured. "It's not so easy that I can just fix it with a kiss." Lelouch smirked.
"'It shouldn't be too hard. If you were able to gain their love once, I'm sure you can do it again.'" He cooed. Suzaku glared at him then sighed. Right…

Beep…beep beep…beep. Click.
Gino Weinberg sighed softly as the door to his room began to slide open. Every Knight in the Rounds had their own apartment in a building set aside for just the Knights. In addition, the building and each room was password encoded rather than key locked. The blond began unbuttoning his coat as he entered the room, depositing the garment on a nearby rack.
"Gino." The blond jump and spun around, gun in hand, cocked and ready. His eyes narrowed at the sight of a brunette Eleven in his room, standing still at the start of his living room. 'What on earth? How was he able to get into the building, let alone my room? I …I didn't even sense his presence…' he thought. Gino took a slow breath into his nose as he slowly approached the brunette from the hallway. Suzaku simply raised his hands palm out in peace.
"How did you get in here?" The blond asked. Suzaku gave him a calming smile, fighting the urge to use his geass on the sixteen year old.
"I had the code for the building. You gave me the code for your room." he stated calmly. Gino's eyes narrowed. He searched the tan face for any of the telltale signs of lying. He found none. Which made absolutely no sense.
"Is that so? Why would I give someone my key code…and suddenly forget about it?" Suzaku took a slow step forward and continued when Gino showed no signs of wanting to shoot him down. He stopped when he was only ten feet away.
"My name is Suzaku Kururugi. You may not remember, but we used to be friends." He murmured. "Or rather, we were going to be friends one day." The Knight frowned in confusion.
"Going to be? You're not…a stalker or something are you?" he asked gripping the gun tighter now in case the strange person started spouting nonsense about being his greatest fan. Suzaku blinked in surprise.
"What? No! I'm not. Really."
"Oh really? Fine, tell me something only a friend of mine would know." He shot back. The brunette was silent for a moment in thought. What did he know about Gino? He'd been so focused on his goal that… The brunette shut his eyes tightly and blocked out those thoughts.
"Well?"
"I know…that you're ticklish on your feet and at the base of your neck. That…you like birds of prey but not normal ones. That you can't sleep in a place where you can't see the sky. That you have a secret passion for video games and superheroes. That you smile when you're sad to make yourself feel better…" he murmured with a soft smile, expression growing increasing wistful as he spoke.
Gino's eyes widened and his fingers grew lax around the gun. The weapon fell to the ground with a sharp clang, snapping Suzaku out of his reverie. He stared down at the gun before looking up at Gino. The blond was simply staring at him in utter shock. Gino's eyelids lowered and he turned his head away, blinking back tears.
"We were friends... Were you a Knight of the Round then?" he asked quietly.
"Yes."
"Do you plan to become one again?"
"No. There's something else I have to do. Someone else I have to serve." Gino looked back at him again, his expression calm and serious.
"That person, you'd rather serve him than your emperor?" Suzaku smiled warmly at the thought.
"He is my emperor." Gino's eyes widened slightly at the expression.
"You're…you're in love with him." Suzaku nodded. "Does he love you back?" the blond continued.
"Yes." Gino smile gently.
"How nice." He said quietly. He sighed softly and turned around to face the door. "It's a shame. I must have loved you." Suzaku blinked in surprise.
"What? Why would you think that?" he asked. Gino looked at the brunette over his shoulder and grinned.
"Because no one knows those things. I've never told anyone so much about myself…let alone let them get close enough to tickle me." He turned his head back forward and clasped his hands behind his back. "I must have really wanted you to like me." He murmured with a chuckle. Suzaku took a step forward in concern.
"Gino…I…"
"It's okay." The Knight interrupted, "I'm okay. You can't miss what you never had. You just saved me a lot of time I would have spent pining." Suzaku frowned uncertainly. Gino spun around, slightly startling the brunette. He closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around the smaller teen.
"Relax, okay! I'll find someone else to love, trust me." He leaned back to hold the older boy at arm's length. "We can still be friends, right Suzaku?" he asked. Suzaku smiled.
"I'd like that." He said. Gino grinned happily and hugged his new friend again. He held still for a moment before tilting his head on Suzaku's shoulder. He leaned close to the brunette's ear.
"But tell your boyfriend this: If he ever screws up, I will steal you away." He murmured, giving the ear a light bite and pecking the White Knight softly on the cheek. Suzaku just stared forward wide eyed, face growing a deep red. Green eyes shifted slowly to look at the puff of blond hair. He let out a nervous laugh.
"You're…kidding right?" Gino took a step back and smiled innocently.
"Dunno. Time'll tell, won't it?" he chirped. Suzaku just stared at him with a mix of shock and mild horror. Gino laughed and circled his friend to stand behind him. Placing his hands on the boy's shoulders, he slowly steered him to the door. Suzaku looked up at him in confusion.
"I just ran 8 drills in a row. I need a nap. Since I'm sure you have my cell phone number, I'm expecting you to call me, kay?" The older teen smiled and nodded.
"Later, Gino." The blond grinned and waved happily. Once the brunette was gone, Gino closed the door quietly and turned around to lean against it. He slowly fell into a seated position and looked up at the ceiling. He closed his eyes to the tears that began to stream down his face. He wrapped his arms around himself and laughed hard at himself. At crying for a love that never existed. And was doomed from the start.
X========X========X
Violet eyes turned crimson as the Geass symbol appeared at their center. They narrowed slightly as their owner dropped down from a tile in the ceiling of the target room. The figure strolled over to a man who sat at his desk, looking over information on a computer. The teen raised a gun to the back of the stilled man's head and pulled the trigger.
Rolo Haliburton blinked slowly as the geass disappeared and his heart started beating again. He put his gun away and leaned over the dead body to peer at the computer. The target was a politician who had come across some confidential information and was intending to negotiate a price for keeping it confidential. The brunette reached into his coat pocket and withdrew a flash drive. Placing it into the computer, he booted up its sole program, effectively crashing the computer beyond repair and wiping away any information that may have existed in it.
"Is this what you intend to do for the rest of your life?" a voice asked absently. Rolo spun around and fired two shots in the direction of the voice, not even bothering to determine its host.
Lelouch blinked slowly. There was now a hole in the wall behind him right beside his ear. C.C. was now sporting a classy bullet wound on her upper arm that she had raised to prevent the bullet from hitting someone who could actually die from a shot to the chest. Both twitched. And they had thought he'd been trigger happy while he was them. Suddenly, this didn't seem like such a good idea.
But they were already here.
Rolo blinked slowly at the two.
"C.C.-sama." He stated. Violet eyes shifted to look at the other person. "Who are you? Why are you here?" he asked coldly. Lelouch remained silent for a moment. He took a slow step forward. Rolo's eyes narrowed in warning and C.C. grabbed his arm. Lelouch looked over at her and nodded to her, placing a placating hand on the one that gripped him. She slowly let go. He faced Rolo again and took another tentative step forward. Rolo growled under his breath.
"Answer me!" he barked. Lelouch smiled warmly at the younger boy who blinked, startled by the expression.
"My name is Lelouch Lamperouge. I am your brother. I'm here to help you." He stated calmly. Rolo blinked in surprise.
"I have no family." He growled out.
"Yet." Lelouch said back. The brunette frowned at that and spared a glance at C.C. She stood there quietly and offered him a soft smile. His gaze went back to Lelouch, who had gotten significantly closer while he had been distracted. He got ready to activate his geass.
"Don't." C.C. ordered. The child looked over at her and glowered, debating whether or not to obey.
"Rolo." Lelouch said softly, getting the boy's attention again. He raised his hands; the heart shaped key chain hanging from his left ring finger. Rolo stared at it in confusion. Lelouch extended the hand toward the assassin.
"This is for you. It's a present." He stated. Rolo blinked in shock. He stared down at the small locket, then up at the prince, and then back down again. Keeping his gun aimed, he tentatively reached out and slowly pulled the key chain off the slender finger. He held it in his hand and stared down at it. He turned it over in his hand. White with a gold rounded cross in the center. It was…nice.
"Why?" he asked, glancing up at the prince warily. Lelouch gave him the gentle smile he had once reserved for Nunnally alone.
"Because I care about you. Because I love you. I want you to feel happy, safe and loved. I want to give you a better life then this, one where you do things out of you own volition, not because you were ordered to." He murmured. Rolo stared at him wide eyed with an expression that bordered on panicked. Lelouch took a step closer. Rolo took a step back, bumping into the dead body he'd forgotten about. Lelouch took another step forward. The child's breath hitched and he moved back further, as if trying to phase through the dead body.
By the time Lelouch was only arm's length away, the boy was still staring up at the teen wide eyed and shaking. He couldn't break eye contact. He couldn't think. Although he still held the gun up, aimed shakily at Lelouch, he couldn't even remember how to use it. The prince's words, his expressions, his movements, swirled around in his head, creating a fog that seemed to blanket everything else.
Frightened little bird.
Lelouch took hold of the wrist that held the gun and slowly brought it down. He used his other hand to grasp Rolo's chin gently but firmly. He moved in closer and leaned down, resting his forehead against the brunette's. He stared into the boy's eyes and tried to reflect as much love as he could.
"Trust me." He whispered. "So long as I'm alive, nothing will harm you. You have nothing to fear. I'll always be right here." He closed the distance between them and pressed his lips against Rolo's. Large violet eyes became half lidded as his mind was bombarded with memories he hadn't known he had. The gun was dropped to the ground and the hand moved to in between them to grasp weakly at Lelouch's shirt.
When Lelouch finally pulled away, Rolo blinked very slowly before his eyes rolled back. The Black King blinked in surprise. Taking the boy by the shoulders, he shook him gently.
"Rolo? Rolo?! Come on, wake up!" he called out. As far as he knew it wasn't normal to faint during this. I mean, not even Lelouch fainted as a result of the memory transfer! So, what the hell?! Lelouch let out a gasp as Rolo was pulled from his grasp. C.C. held the minor up with one hand by the shoulder, using the other to backhand the boy. Lelouch's eyes shot wide and Rolo's did as well. The fifteen year old blinked slowly up at her then tilted his head to face Lelouch. He smiled lovingly, then blinked, turned bright red and looked away. Lelouch put a hand over his eyes and inwardly groaned. C.C. looked from one Lamperouge to the other and smiled.
"Come now, it could be worse. At least it doesn't work the way those 'alien probes' do. Then again, you'd probably like that wouldn't you?" she ended with a coo as she stared down at the brunette in her arms. Lelouch's eyes grew wide from where he stood and his hand dropped from his face. Rolo stared up at the witch in confusion.
"What does that mean?" he asked. Lelouch glared warningly at his accomplice over his brother's head. She smirked.
"It's when someone puts-"
"Shut it, C.C." the prince growled. "You don't need to know about things like that, Rolo." He added more gently.
He hadn't even left them alone yet and already the boy's mind was in danger. She was like a freaking pedophile. Then a frightening thought occurred to him. He had left C.C. at home with Nunnally. On several occasions. The former emperor paled and looked at her.
As if reading his thoughts, the witch faced him. Her eyes narrowed and a slow full grin spread across her face. Lelouch twitched, grabbed Rolo from her grasp and held him close, looking away. He took a couple deep breaths to keep from panicking. Okay. Okay, he was probably overreacting, and C.C. was just egging him on. After all, Nunnally had Sayoko with her all the time. YES!! Sayoko was always there with her! …Except for those times he had had her disguise herself as him…and maybe when she was working on some chore… The prince covered his face with a hand.
Fucktastic.
X========X========X
So how was that? I was able to finally introduce several people I wanted to get in. …Someday Schneizel, someday.
While I do find Rolo to be kinda odd (like stalkerish odd), I have to admit that I kinda like him. I dunno, he's just sorta cute in a mousey way. (I'm not sure if you know but mice and baby rats are adorable! They're just these soft little things with eyes!)
I compared Rolo to a frightened bird up there. If you've ever seen a small bird that's unable to move or something, you find that it just lays there shuddering minutely. I think rabbits do that too.
Nunnally so sweet. She indulges her brothers by letting them think they're indulging her.
The reason I didn't put in 2 lemons is just because I don't have the patience for that. I had a lot of other stuff to put in this chapter without spending time on that. Maybe later.
Gino/Suzaku. Great paring. Gino's obviously crushing. There aren't enough stories about Lulu and Gino fighting over Suzu. Such fun.
Lots of incest references. Several members of the royal family are just way too fond of the other members to be normal (cough – Cornelia/Schneizel/Lelouch – cough). Ahem. Wow, I must be coming down with a cold or something. ^_^
Goodness, it's 3 in the morn. What am I doing up?!
Anyway, please R &R!
