A/n: Oh. My. God. x.x you know how much I had to rush to finish this for you all? XD I did it just now, and rushed through it so that I could enter it in.

Sirhcnotilih -Thank you it really isn't /that/ good, though. More like from a 3.87 to a 4.56 maybe X3 if I'm lucky. Of course I'd love to see the pictures! You can either send them by e-mail, or if you have AIM, I'd be happy if you dropped me a line asking for my SN...via e-mail sweatdrop either way, send me an e-mail! Now, about a rape lemon...as much as they are very nice to read, I'm actually trying to make this one more romantic and meaningful / even if it doesn't seem like it right now. Maybe I'll write one and include it as a bonus chapter.

Shimagenki -Shimagenki-sama! o.o It's a pleasure to hear from you! I happen to be a fan of your stories as well! XD I'm just evil and mean and never review! I'm very honored that you like it 3 please, enjoy this chapter, and write more of your own stories! n.n;

Derangedseal -I'm glad you managed to reply to this chapter as well! X3 Yes, I know Zelos is mean. He's kind of doing it for a reason, but he does change. You can kind of see that in this chapter. Of course, I'm not a professional ; and the difference between myself and a professional would be that they know how to make everything click together so nicely XD and I don't. Enjoy the yumminess, anyway! Even if I can't make a very good plot with twists and all that, I can write the kinky stuff! XP

Warning: This chapter gets a bit more intense than the last one n.n; if you don't mind, then enjoy!

Chapter three, Springs Can Snap

For most of that day Zelos was busy, spending time with his many girls, and hardly ever giving orders to Lloyd. But when he did, they were incredibly pointless and back-breaking, seemingly getting harder with each one. During one of his many breaks that day, he noticed that his stuff hadn't been in Zelos' room, and went to talk to the red-head himself about it. He missed the picture of his dad. Luckily he was in his room, and wasn't with one of the girls for once, so that when he opened the door he didn't end up seeing anything that...would have scarred him.

"Zelos, I need to talk to you." he began, frowning a bit and putting his hands on his hips. Zelos looked up from the random porn magazine he was reading, and raised one eyebrow.

"'bout what, hunny?" he asked in an idle tone of voice as he chucked the magazine back into his towering stack. It didn't matter where it landed, because he would make Lloyd fix them up later. That's what servants were for.

"Don't call me that! And, I want to know where my stuff is." crossing his arms over his chest, Zelos almost purred in delight at the pose.

"Oh, I had Greg throw them away. Figured all the things in there had no value, anyway." With such a casual tone, he might have been talking about taking out the trash. But this wasn't trash! This was the remains of his family, and the few things he had loved with all his heart! Something was going to snap, he knew it! That was just too much!

"You fucking bastard! How could you throw away my stuff! How the hell could you be so inconsiderate! You get it back! You fucking get my stuff back!" the brunette had pounced on Zelos, and attempted to punch him, but winded up pinned under the red-head with a handprint across his poor, abused cheek.

"I'll do what I feel like doing, Lloyd. I am your guardian now, remember that! I'll decide what you need and don't need, and I won't have you acting like a brat and showing me no respect!"

"You think that for one moment I would show a monster like you respect! You don't even treat me like a human being! How the fuck could I respect you!" No matter how much his cheek stung, and how his eyes watered with the pain, he kept on fighting, and even tried to dodge the next slap.

"Ungrateful! You are in no place to say that! I cloth you, I allow you to eat with me at my table, and exactly what I eat at that! I put this roof over your head, and it is quite a nice roof, if you haven't noticed! It could be much worse, Lloyd darling! I suggest you gain a little bit of a brain and acknowledge these things before you lose them!" With that, he climbed off the brunette and battered him with all sorts of commands, obviously in punishment for rebelling. They all seemed to have no meaning whatsoever, and yet, if he didn't do them perfectly, he got slapped like before. Move the pile of horse manuer twenty yards that way, and then remove the grass, only to put it all back in, make a complicated feast, and then throw it all away, only to make it again to feed to the dogs. This was only the beginning of the list, however. He was not allowed to get to sleep until way past midnight, and he collapsed immedietally without bothering to take off the maid's outfit.

Over the next three days or so the schedule was a lot of the same kind of thing. Random and tedious tasks that resulted in nothing gained at all from doing so. He found his cheek being smacked most of the time, because he couldn't do them perfectly, either. Dinner had to be perfect, or he had to make it again, and then it turned out that Zelos already ate. Outfits had to be laid out for him the morning, even if he decided that he wanted something else, no matter how he liked the outfit presented on that day. If anything in his room was out of place, it was Lloyd's fault, no matter how often he left his own clothing on the floor, or didn't throw out trash, and hardly ever put back his magazines in the very order he told Lloyd to place them in. Which was quite a difficult thing to do, because Zelos came up with the most strange ways of organizing them. If the grarden happened to be not to his liking, the Lloyd spent a long time putting in new flowers and cutting hedges and all sorts of tasks, only to have Zelos go out with one of his ladies and never step foot in the garden for the entire day. His dignity had been chewed up and spat out, and his fighting spirit was dampened considerably. Most of the time he silently begged Zelos not to hit him again, while at the same time he wanted to beat the crud out of him.

Finally it was nightime, and he plopped down on the floor to get some sleep, when suddenly he heard that voice he had learned to utterly despise.

"Lloyd, strip off your clothing and get in bed with me." Now, this had never happened before...and it also went much too far for the brunette, as he growled in his throat and pulled the blankets around him. Now he knew to sleep in his maid's outfit, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

"No way you pervert! I'll do no such thing!" Over the past few days it had been getting harder and harder for him to decline an order, because he was worried about getting smacked. Already was his cheek red, and had even bled once. Zelos seemed to care then, as he had hurried to get bandages, but never had he said sorry.

"I'm ordering you to do something. Do it now, or I'll be forced to hit you." That sent a jolt of fear down his spine, and a jolt of pain along his cheek. But there was no way he could do that...it was just...no! Not saying anything else, he lay there on the floor with his eyes clenched shut. Hearing the bed creak as the red-head climbed off of it, fear began to fill him to the overflowing point, and he almost trembled as footsteps drew close. Instead of a slap across the cheek, however, a hand gripped his crotch, and pulled a bit upwards. Knowing very well that it was to warn him, not hurt him. Standing up with a silent sigh, he couldn't help but admit that it was slightly pleasurable, the way that the grip was firm, yet gentle so as not to hurt him. It was making him slightly aroused, and he mentally cursed himself as that organ began to stir. But he wasn't given too long to worry about it, as his clothing was being stripped off his body. Embarrassement filled his cheeks, and his eyes began to fill up. How could this be happening? He was led to the bed, and didn't know why exactly, but climbed onto it with a sniff. Feeling the mattress sink a little as Zelos joined him, he was almost surprised that he wasn't groping him or something. But no. Not caring if the red-head heard him or not, the tears began to flow as if someone had turned on a faucet, and he couldn't help himself. Little sobs escaped his throat as he clung to one of the many pillows, ignoring everything else. However, it didn't take too long for an arm to wrap around his bare waist, and a familiar voice to whisper into his ear tenderly as he was pulled against a strong chest. It didn't matter that it was the cause of this pain that was comforting him.

"Why are you crying?" he asked, so gently and in such an understanding tone of voice that he almost began crying harder. Words catching in his throat for a moment, he took a moment to catch his breath.

"I've lost...everything...even my dignity. I can't...I can't stand it...I don't want to be hit anymore, I don't want to do pointless jobs that cause me suffering...I don't want to be humiliated...I want to die...!" Aside from the sobs there was silence and Zelos didn't move. Slowly, though, he turned Lloyd around to face him, blue eyes full of compassion.

"No...don't say that...please don't...and stop crying, please..." An incredibly warm and soft tongue removed the tears from his cheeks, leaving him speechless once more, and even gaping slightly. Those lips guarding the tongue even pressed lightly against his own, just as gentle as those words, and he didn't try going further, either. Pulling away after a few seconds, he found his breath taken away, and was entranced.

"I'm sorry. I never wanted to make you cry." With those words echoing in his mind, he fell asleep without giving a reply.

When he awoke Zelos obviously wasn't there. And it wasn't the time that he was normally rudely awakened to. A note lay upon an outfit that he had never before seen, and he wormed out from under the covers to study it. A red long-sleeved top with double-breasted brass buttons, and a pair of brown overalls. Okay then. Not at all like the maid's outfit. Picking up the note, he frowned a bit.

Lloyd hunny,

We'll be going out today, so put on this outfit like a good little boy. At the moment I'm busy with other matters, so please be ready by noon. I'll even take you out for lunch.

Love,

Zelos (this of course was signed very fancily)

PS: If you're a good boy, I think I'll help you out there. It has been a while since you've had the chance to whack off, right?

Blushing vibrantly did he curse the red-head's name, only to realize that he was right. It had been quite a while since he'd had the chance to do any such thing, and currently he could've gotten hard at the slightest show of skin. Or, like it had been last night, the whole touching of his cock...he swallowed and looked towards the rack of porn. Maybe...no! He began changing into the outfit, even if he knew he had quite a while before he really had to get dressed and prepared.

Spending most of his time thinking about random things while idly and absently stroking himself through his pants, he was startled out of such a stupor by the door opening. Zelos appeared to have just come out of the shower. Probably was playing with one of his girls again Lloyd thought to himself as he sat up.

"Ah, good boy, Lloyd! You did as you were asked! Mn, now, we have a bit of time before my limo driver will be finished..." he wandered over to the younger male and pushed him back down, hand immedietally unzipping the pants and pulling them down before Lloyd could protest. Hard from all the touching he had been doing earlier, it was quite hot and erect when it broke free of the pants, and immedietally he flushed and moved to cover it. Hands locked his wrists behind his head, though, and when he was sure he had a good grip there, he allowed one of them to sink to that area and begin to run his thumb over the tip.

"You really need this..." he mused allowed, the amusement evident in his eyes. The erection quivered as he licked the thumb, and then began to trace the entire length.

"N-no! Stop it! C...cut it...out!" he panted, using his free legs to kick at Zelos. Which ultimately caused the red-head to sit on them.

"Look, your dick wants it, Lloyd. Can you see it? Or can you feel it? Feel out it reacts to my every touch?" he was enjoying himself, obviously, and he surprised the shit out of the poor brunette as that same tongue from before flickered across the head of it, making him cry out.

"I said stop!" After engulfing the entire thing into his mouth, he licked his lips and let Lloyd go.

"I suppose I can do that...now pull your pants back on and let's get going." he winked and gave it one last squeeze, getting another jump out of the poor boy. As well as a glare. But he did as he was told, and accompanied Zelos towards the garage.

Turns out that they were going to the mall. Once there, he was indeed allowed to eat whatever he wanted. Zelos was acting much nicer, though did make him call him master and such, since they were out in public. And it wasn't too bad spending time with him. They ate crepes together, and had lots of good food and snacks, and finally they got down to the shopping. Zelos had decided that he had just wanted to go out to the mall, so they wandered around and Zelos bought whatever caught his eye, because he didn't have to worry about money or saving or whatever that was called again, in his words.

At one store, something shining caught his eye and he was forced to stop in his tracks and go back to look at it. Zelos went on talking to himself, not noticing his absense. They were swords. Made to be weilded together, both being light weight katanas made to last. They were expensive, but they were really pretty, and he had always been interested in swords.

"AnLloyd? Llooooyd?" Finally noticing his missing companion, he spun on his heel, and was relieved when he spotted him. Wandering over, he raised an eyebrow. "You okay? What'cha looking at?"

"O-oh! Nothing, it's nothing..." he moved to walk away, but was stopped by a question.

"You're interested in swords, huh? I didn't know that..."

"Uh, yeah...I've liked them all my life. My dad was going to teach me how to use one, when he wasn't so busy with work, but then...well...he kind of..." he trailed off and looked away.

"I take fencing. Though I really don't need a teacher anymore. If you're really interested, I could help you learn the basics." Zelos grinned as Lloyd's eyes lit up, and he took on a new level of cuteness.

"You'd really do that! That would be so awesome! I want to learn how to use swords, Zelos! I do!" In all his excitement he hugged Zelos around the waist, laughing and bouncing slightly. The red-head laughed in turn, and patted his head gently before pulling him off.

"So these ones right here, hm?" he asked, almost laughing again at the furious nod he received. Stepping into the store, it didn't take him too long to come out with the swords all boxed up in a fancy case. "Using two swords...I don't really know how to do that, but I bet the basics are the same for both styles." Maybe Zelos wasn't so bad after all...really, he hadn't done anything too bad today...aside from the little act in the room, but that wasn't really...well, bad...ehm...so it was! But it wasn't! Stopping himself before he lost his mind, he took a deep breath, and smiled at Zelos.

"Thank you so much!" And without any warning he was pulled into a kiss, though it was similar to the one last night, despite what had happened earlier.

"You're welcome, hunny..." he murmured into Lloyd's ear, getting the boy to blush. It was so easy to do that. "Now, how about we go home and try out these swords, hm?" he took Lloyd's hand in his own, entwining their fingers, before beginning to skip off back to where the limo would be waiting for them. This guy was really strange...mean one day, nice the next...sometimes he had to wonder.
