"What's on your mind?" Suzaku asked as he rolled on his side and gently rubbed Lelouch's side.
Lelouch turned over and smiled at him. "That it's too early for you to be up." He chuckled softly.
"I'm only up because for the past few days my emperor has been nothing but restless." Suzaku murmured and kissed the top of his head gently. "Tell me what's gotten you so rattled." He said and gently tilted his head up.
Lelouch sighted. "It irritates me knowing that I don't know Schnizel is planning. Especially since it must involves my sister."
Suzaku nodded and slowly rubbed his lower lip. "Don't think too much about it darling." He said and gently leaned down to kiss his lips. "I'll make sure to keep a close eye on her." He murmured against his lips.
Lelouch smiled and nodded."I think I'm ready for some sleep now."
"Good. Cause from what I was told you have a very busy schedule." He chuckled and kissed his cheek. "Which doesn't end till late noon."
He groaned more and gripped Suzaku's side. "Sounds stressful."
"Get some sleep love." He chuckled and pulled the blanket up to Lelouch's shoulder.
"It's so nice of you to keep me company Suzaku!" Nunnally smiled at him.
"My pleasure princess." He smiled back at her. "I've heard nothing but good things about you."
"Probably just the embarrassing details." She giggled and took a sip of her drink.
"Isn't that a big brothers job? To embarrass their little sister?" He teased her and smiled.
"I guess that's true." She chuckled a little and patted the spot next to her. "Sit with me, it must get pretty tiring just standing there."
"Oh I couldn't princess." He murmured.
"Then I order you to please sit down with me." She smiled.
He chuckled softly and sat down next to her. "I guess I can't argue with an order."
"I want to do something special for Lelouch." She said and looked at him. "But I need someone to distract him for a little."
"I can do that for you." He smiled. "What's the surprise?"
"Well it wouldn't be much of a surprise if you knew." She smiled. "Just bring him by the study!" She said and kissed his cheek. "I've got to go!" She got up and ran back inside.
Suzaku pulled out his pocket watch to check the time to see it was time to go get Lelouch. He wondered what exactly the princess had in mind. He'll find out soon enough as he made his way towards the study. Suzaku gently knocked on the door.
"It's open." Said a voice inside as he raised an eyebrow.
Suzaku opened the door to see that Schniezel was sitting across Lelouch with a chess board in the middle of them. I wonder who is winning. He thought as he closed the door behind him and bowed. "I'm sorry for interrupting your game my lords."
Schniezel chuckled softly and moved his piece. "Your knight is so polite."
"Of course. The best the army had to offer." Lelouch replied and sneaked a wink towards him.
He could feel himself blush a bit and slowly shook his head. "You complement me too much sire.."
"A modest one is he?" Schniezel teased him a bit and brushed his hair back from his face.
"I hate to cut this game short but I'm needed elsewhere." Lelouch said and stood up.
"Oh yes. I'll look forward to our next game. Till next time little brother." He said and waved the off as they left.
"How was your afternoon?" Asked Lelouch and gently bumped into him.
"I browsed around the castle." He said and slowly wrapped his arm around his waist to pull him closer. "Soon I ran into the princess." He smiled and gently kissed his cheek. "Then we spent our time in the garden."
"Sounds like your afternoon was more interesting than mine." Lelouch said and smiled a little as he kept sneaking more kisses. "What is someone sees?" He murmured as Suzaku kissed him fully on the mouth.
"Your right sire." He smiled and took his hand. "Come with me." He said with a mischievous smile and gently pushed him against one of the pillars. "I doubt anyone can see us now."
Lelouch flushed deeply and gripped his arms. "A..are you sure?"
"Well..." He said and gently kissed the side of his neck. Lelouch bit his lip too keep down his moans. He grinned a little into his neck and rubbed his sides. "I'm going to lift you up now."
"W..what?!" Lelouch yelped softly as he gripped his waist and picked him.
"See?" He smiled. "That wasn't so bad." He teased Lelouch and gently kissed his lips again.
Lelouch wrapped his legs around his waist and kissed his lips deeper. He pressed his back against the pillar to hold him up so that he could use his hands. "Suzaku." He panted against his lip as he moved to his neck again and gently bit down.
"Yes my love." He said and smiled.
"This is torture." Lelouch groaned softly as he felt Suzaku's hand slowly rubbed his crotch.
"Is it?" He chuckled softly. Just as he was about to push his hand down Lelouch's pants he started to hear noises coming. "Damn it!" He grunted in frustration and gently step him down. "I'll go out first, then you." He whispered as he nodded slowly and touched his cheeks.
"I..I need to take a breather." He gave a weak smile. Suzaku chuckled and kissed him again. He blushed more and gripped his arms as he continued to kiss him deeper.
"Will continue later dearest." He teased him and pulled back. He fixed his coat and soothed out the wrinkles out of his pants. Suzaku came out behind the pillar and walked down the hall as if nothing has happened. On the other hand Lelouch was still panting against the pillar. His cheeks were beet red, a hickey thank god not noticeable to others. He stood up straight and breathed in deeply.
"Sire? Are you okay?" Asked one of the guards. Lelouch yelped in surprised and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
"D..dont sneak up on me like that!" He yelled through his hand and gripped his shirt.
"I'm sorry your highness!" The guard said and got down to one knee, bowing his head. "I won't ever do it again."
He breathed more and rubbed his cheek. "Its fine.. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.. on your way then."
The guard nodded and quickly left. Lelouch took another minute too collect himself before heading on his way.
"What took you so long?" Asked Suzaku as he raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry.. it took a lot longer to get a hold of myself than I thought." He chuckled softly and smiled.
"Its fine..but you left your guest waiting inside."
"A guest? I wasn't expecting anyone?" He said and reached for the doorknob. He opened the door quickly and peaked inside to see his sister Nunnally sitting on his bed.
"Big brother!" She cried out happily and ran into his arms.
He smiled and gently rubbed her back. "I wasn't expecting you today."
"I know." She smiled. "I wanted to surprise you! And with this!" She said and ran back to the bed. She crouched down to the floor and pulled out a black case from under the bed. She put the case on his bed and smiled brighter. "SURPRISE!"
"Surprise you say huh?" Lelouch says and walked up to his bed, unlocking the case. Opening it laid on a bed of satin was a freshly polish violin. He looked in awe at it and at her. "Is this?"
She nodded. "The very one, but I had it refurbished to look like new again. I even had the hairs on the bow imported from the finest horse hair."
He smiled and slowly picked it up. "It's been so long since I laid eyes on it." He looked at her. "I would have thought father threw it away.."
"He wanted too but I begged for him to let me keep it. I knew how much it meant to you Lelouch.."
He walked over to her and hugged her again. "Thank you Nanna. It makes me so happy just being able to hold it again."
"I didn't know you played." Suzaku said and smiled at him.
"When I was younger I did for a while.. I'm not sure if I still remember." He murmured and placed the violin under his chin. Nanna grabbed the bow and handed it to him. He laid the bow on the strings and took a minute to think. "I might be a little rusty so forgive me. "
Nanna and Suzaku both sat down on his bed. He took a bit of time to tune up a bit. He was used to playing for Nanna...but now he was going to play in front of someone he loved. He could feel his cheeks grow red and shook his head quickly. Get it together! He thought to himself. Something nice and slow. He breathed again and slowly started to move his hand. He closed his eyes and thought of a sweet melody that reminded him of his childhood with his sister. Nanna smiled and slowly started to tilt her head side to side. Suzaku smiled at him as he kept playing.
With eyes closed he too smiled. No longer feeling the uneasiness in his stomach the tune made him feel a lot calmer. His stress seemed to melt away as he kept playing. For an instant he felt like he was floating on air.
"Lelouch!" Someone screamed.
He didn't seem to notice anyone screaming, the only thing that was on his mind was the sound of the music.
"What's happening to him?!" Cried out the voice again. "Lelouch!"
Then that's when reality started to set in for him. He no longer was standing up but on the ground in Suzaku's arms with Nanna beside him crying her eyes out.
W..what just happened? He thought as his eyes looked up at him.
"Lelouch can you hear me?!" Suzaku said and gently shook his shoulders.
Of course I can hear you! He tried to respond back but couldn't. He tried to lift up his arm to wipe her tears from her face but felt like his limbs were paralyzed.
"Why isn't he saying anything?!" Nunnally cried and gripped Suzaku's arm.
He honestly didn't know what to say. He gently put his hands on his face and rubbed under his eyes. "Why won't you speak?!" He cried and pulled Lelouch closer to him.
I don't understand what's happening to me... Lelouch thought as his vision slowly started to blur.
In the study Schniezel picked up his white king and knocked over the black one. "Looks like this is my checkmate little brother." He said softly as he picked up the fallen king and laughed.
I'm so sorry it took this long just to post! Hehe I started to think on what I wanted to write but then couldn't find my thoughts. I really hope this new one is to everyone's liking! I promise to post more!
