When Lelouch started to come too he noticed he was laying down on his belly and his face pressed against his pillows. He yawned softly and reached to his side, expecting to feel another body next to him. But there was no one. He pushed himself up to get a better look,as a small frown appeared on his face. When did Suzaku leave? How come he didn't even feel it? He sat up and hugged his legs close to his chest.

Was I too forward? Have I lost Suzaku? He thought and felt like he was going to burst out crying. He laid his head on his knees and breathed in deeply. He shouldn't be thinking such thoughts. Especially since he didn't have the entire story. Maybe Suzaku did have a reason for leaving him.

Lelouch didn't noticed that someone came through the door. He felt a hand on the top of his head as he looked up. He saw that it was Suzaku's smiling down at him. Lelouch blinked in surprised.

"Your still not dressed Sire?" Suzaku chuckled softly and sat down on his bed.

He looked down at himself and blushed deeply, he pulled the covers up to his shoulders to try and cover himself. "I..I just barely w-woke up.." He stuttered a bit.

Suzaku chuckled some more and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. Lelouch lean onto him and twisted his body to the side to get more comfortable.

"You were gone when I woke up.." He muttered and nuzzled himself closer.

"I had too Sire.. I couldn't risk anyone seeing me leave your room this morning." He explained and kissed the side of his cheek.

"Oh.. I thought you were not satisfied with me last night..." He murmured to himself and felt himself blush.

Suzaku tilted his head towards him. "Of course not Sire! I was very satisfied last night! Don't think I wasn't." He told him and gently kissed his lips.

Lelouch blushed more and kissed him back more deeply. He slowly crawled onto his lap; facing him his lips never leaving Suzaku's. He gently had his hands on Lelouch's back. He shuddered a bit and snaked his fingers into his hair. Suzaku gently pulled the blanket away leaving him naked in his lap. He blushed more and gently pushed him down onto his bed.

Suzaku raised an eyebrow and pulled back a bit. He blushed and looked him in the eyes. "You seduced me. So I thought I would return the favor." He said quietly, more of a blush spreading across his cheeks.

"Alright then." He smiled and placed his hands on Lelouch's waist.

Shinjuku Ghetto Mid-morning

Schneizel paced around his office deep in thought before he heard someone cough softly. He looked up too see that it was his faithful servant Kanon." Do you have news for me?" He raised an eyebrow.

"It's nothing Sire.. Just that something must be on your mind." Kanon said softly and his blue eyes looking at his prince.

"I've been thinking about going back to the palace." He told him.

Kanon looked up startled by his request. "But why?"

"I must see how my experiment is going."

"Haven't the result that Refrain dealer sent you enough? Why must you put yourself in danger?" He asked a peak of concern making its way known in the sound of his voice.

Schneizel chuckled softly and looked at him. "How do I know that the results I've gotten are accurate if I don't examine the experiment myself? For all I know the experiment could be a complete waste of time and I'm just letting that dealer live on a whim." He shook his head and chuckled. "Plus I am curious too know how its going so far if it has worked."

Kanon nodded and chuckled at his prince. "When do you wish we depart?"

"Soon as possible." He told Kanon who bowed. Schneizel turn towards the window and looked out. Soon everything will be into place.

Lelouch yawned softly as he snuggled closer towards Suzaku who held him lovingly in his arms. His fingers gently brushed against Lelouch's back, causing him to shudder a bit. "We should probably get up." Suzaku mumbled. "People will start to wonder why you haven't came out of your room yet. And why I haven't been seen."

He nodded and sighted. "I know.. But I wish I could lay like this with you a bit longer." He murmured softly and smiled up at Suzaku.

He looked back at him and smiled sweetly at him. "I agree with you one-hundred percent. But you know it is not possible right now. One day we shall. I promise." Suzaku told him and gently brought his hand to his lips and kissed lightly kissed each one of his finger tips.

Lelouch blushed and smiled happily. The best decision I've ever made... He got up from Suzaku's arms and looked at him. "You defiantly need to go before someone sees you leaving in here." He chuckled softly and turned towards him.

He nodded and slipped out of bed. As he was undressing, Lelouch peeked and loved studying every muscle, but he couldn't help but noticed a narrow scar going down his back. "What happened there?" He asked softly and gently touched the scar with his finger tips.

Suzaku turned his head back. "Oh that? I had a quarrel with one of the soldiers a few years ago. Its nothing serious Sire."

"If you say so..." He murmured softly and gently kissed the scar.

"Sire.." He shuddered a bit and smiled. He pulled on his shirt and re-buttoned his pants. He turned around to Lelouch and smiled. "Do I look normal?"

He nodded with a playful smile. "Yes you do. And you should go before I drag you back to bed." He chuckled playfully.

"And I wouldn't mind that at all." Suzaku chuckled and gave him a quick kiss on his lips, before leaving.

Lelouch laid back on his bed and stretched his arms. He knew that he couldn't stay in bed naked any longer without anybody asking questions. He slipped out of bed to take a quick shower and got himself dressed. As he stepped out of his room he was startled to see Jeremiah coming down the hall. He tried to look normal as he came closer. "Lord Jeremiah. What can I do for you?"

"My Emperor. I am so glad I finally found you." He said with a bit of anxiety in hi voice.

"Is something the matter?" He asked and raised an eyebrow. Have I been figured out?

"Its your brother. Second prince Schneizel."

"What about him?" He raised an eyebrow curiously.

"He's here. His coming was unexpected."

He was completely startled by hearing Schneizel was here. Why was he here to begin with? "Where is he now?"

"I lead him to the throne room. When I asked him what his business in the palace was, all he replied was 'I came to talk to my brother.' That's all he told us." Jeremiah told him and shook his head. "Sire. I don't think you should talk to him. You know your brother. His intentions cannot be good."

He nodded. "I see where your fears are but I have to know why he is here. Have my knight be there with me." He told him and went down to throne room quickly. Why are you here Shneizel?! What exactly brings you here?

"Sire wait!" Suzaku called from the far end of the hall.

He stopped so he could catch up with him. "Sire. I heard that the second Prince is here. Is that true?"

"Yes it is. He is beyond those door waiting for me."

"You seriously can not be thinking on seeing him?" Suzaku asked, a hint of anger in his voice.

"I have too. I need to know why he is here."

"Lelouch don't. I beg you." He whispered and took his hand in his.

He took his hand back and straighten his back. "Sir Kururugi. I can and I will. And as my knight I expect you to hold your tongue in my presents." He said sharply.

Suzaku flinched a bit at the sharpness of his voice. "Yes Sire.."

He took a big breath and proceeded to walk inside to confront his brother.

Schneizel held in his hand a wine glass as he looked out the window. He saw his little brother along with his knight behind him through the reflection. He turned around slowly with a small smile on his face. "Hello little brother.. Oh wait where are my manners." He chuckled as Lelouch stepped inside closer. "Hello Emperor of Britannia." He said and did a small bow.

"Lelouch brother." He murmured softly and sat down on his throne. "Why is it that you came here?"

"Can a man not come home to see family? Or have have everyone in this family became so dysfunctional that we cannot act like human-beings for once?" He replied and took a small sip of his wine.

"I suppose so Schneizel. But with passing of events that accrued I do have my reasons for being a cautious man. You should know this."

He nodded and took another drink. "But of course. That's why I have come today to change are past quarrels."

"Y..you have?" Lelouch raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"You know how family was always important to both Euphie and Nunnally. And I simply want to honor their wish for us to be a family again. Just because we have different mothers does not mean we do not share the same bloodline. And as you know I've taken a risk in coming here before you. Putting myself in the line of fire so to say to give are sisters what they want most. Will you not take a chance? You know how it will disappoint Nunnally if we don't get along."

Using my love for Nunnally you devil! He sighted a bit and nodded. "For Nunnu and Euphie I will. And I do agree with you that family was always important. So yes I think it would be a good thing for us to finally put are differences aside for are sisters. Who knows. Maybe in time we will finally be how we use to be when we were younger." He said and stood.

Schneizel walked towards him and held his hand out. "I would like that very much."

He shook his hand back and smiled. "You're old room should be how you left it. If you wish to redecorate it then you may do so."

"Thank you. And maybe in time maybe Nunnally and Euphie may come back and live here as well. So we can be an actual family."

He nodded. "I hope so Schneizel. I really do."

He smiled and stepped back. He turned to go get settled into his bedroom.

As Schneizel walk through the hall ways he chuckled silently to himself. He couldn't believe how easy it was to snake his way back here. He knew that there was a hint of doubt in his brothers eyes, but with a little conversion was all it took to convince him fully. He couldn't help but notice that Lelouch's is pupils looked more dialect than normally, which was a sign that the Refrain was taking affect. And judging by his eyes it wouldn't be long until his pesky brother would be out of the picture.

"Almost too easy." He murmured to himself and grinned. Soon everything in this palace would belong to Schneizel El Britannia.
