Kamia: Got to visit my home town for the holidays. I'm so glad to be able to see my best friend again. What did you guys do over the holidays?


Chapter 10

Lelouch stood in front of the dissection table; the recent body that was picked to study was laid out. In truth, he'd already gotten the explanation and material needed for the examinations, the reason he stayed behind was because it gave him a closer hand on experience when it comes to dealing with his 'problem'. Looking down at the exposed intestines, everything was greatly defined with all the fat tissue removed. He couldn't help but smile to himself, finding satisfaction in the look of death, even in a complete stranger.

'Is it really safe to leave the detective in your personal room? Won't he go snooping through your stuff?' He chuckled, shaking his head. "I made sure to burn every form of evidence that was left behind. Whatever is still left behind is probably goop by now." Pulling the sheet back over the body, he exited the room before making his way to the medical room they had. It was habit for him to disinfect his hands after being in there. Washing up his hands, he looked up at himself in the mirror. The shirt he was wearing hugged his neck, occasionally irritating the bite marks he had.

Pulling down the cloth, he gave them a once over before opening up the first aid kit stored there. Rubbing the ointment on his skin, he made an annoyed face at his reflection. Normally he didn't have a problem with marks on his skin, it actually served as arousal for him, but in this case that poor bastard was too persistent. Releasing a sigh, he pulled his collar back up to its original position before rinsing his hands again of the ointment. 'Guess I better go check on Suzaku.' Heading back towards his room, he stopped when he noticed that they'd just brewed a fresh pot of coffee. 'It is a little cold...' Filling two foam cups with coffee, he poured an exact amount of sugar he'd seen Suzaku use at home in his cup. Heading back to his office, he managed to open the door. "I'm back. Here I brought you some coffee."

During his time in the private lab room, Suzaku couldn't help but notice the sudden changes in the room temperature. At certain points it would get cold, but most of the time he would feel the sweat begin to travel down his collar from the sudden heat in the air. Pulling at his shirt top, the detective made quick work to undo the first few buttons.

As he walked around he noticed the dock stereo which connected to the Bluetooth speakers around the room. Curious as to what was next on Lelouch's playlist he gazed down at the screen display while pushing the play button. Soft music began while he read the title.

"I'm a killer, cold and wrathful

Silent sleeper, I've been inside your bedroom

I've murdered half the town

left you love notes on their headstones

I'll fill the graveyards until I have you."

Lifting an eyebrow at the lyrics in slight interest, Suzaku strode to the closest stool before pulling it close to where a speaker was located to listen carefully. Feeling the heat suddenly come back, Suzaku released a long held in breath before completely unbuttoning the rest of his shirt and pulling it open.

"I wake in terror, blackbirds screaming

dark cathedrals spilling midnight on the altars

I'm your servant, my immortal

pale and perfect, such unholy heaving -

the statues close their eyes, the room is changing

break my skin and drain me."

He wasn't sure what it was about the song, but his heart felt heavy with each beat. It slowly quickened its pace with each tone and arch in the chorus being played out. Lifting his right hand, Suzaku rubbed at his forehead in concentration before reaching further up to comb back his hair out of his eyes.

"You're a ghost love, nightgown flowing

your body blue and walking along the continental shelf

you are a dream among the sharks

beautiful and terrifying, lit and restless

we dance in dark suspension.

And you bury me in the ocean floor beneath you

where they'll never hear us scream..."

Hearing the door open behind him, the older man lifted his head out of his hand before turning around to face the other. Green eyes gazed at Lelouch in a half-lit stare before a small twitch on the side of his mouth caused a smirk to form. He stepped off the stole quickly before closing the short distance between the two. Ignoring the cups of coffee entirely, Suzaku pulled the younger man into a deep kiss, pulling away occasionally to press smaller kisses against the corners of Lelouch's lips, before deepening them again.

"Oh, the horror of our love

never so much blood pulled through my veins.

Oh, the horror of our love... never so much blood..."

Lelouch stared in question when he noticed the other male had his shirt unbuttoned and spread open. "If you were hot you could have lowered the heater-" His mouth was then silenced when the other pulled him into a kiss. Surprise took him over, causing him to drop the cups of coffee. He was rather glad that none of the liquid had landed on him or Suzaku. However a puddled mess now littered the floor near the door. Finally coming out of his surprise, Lelouch lifted his hands to slightly push the other away. He was only able to keep Suzaku off of him for a few brief moments to get them out of the forming puddle before the other male latched his mouth on his once more.

Where was this coming from? It then hit him when he felt the bottle in his pocket. 'Oh yeah... I didn't think that would actually work...' The sound of a familiar song ending caught his ears before the beat of another song filled the room. It was a usual non verbal song that he enjoyed listening to because the beat was powerful on its own. Though he was shorter than the older male, he was still able to maneuver him to the sofa, and push him to fall on his back onto the cushion. Not giving the other male a chance to move, he straddled his lap, holding him by his wrists to keep him from struggling.

'How odd this is like a reverse of what happened this morning...' Catching his breath, Lelouch looked over the other. Suzaku was unbuttoned and flushed, seemed like the aphrodisiac was pretty potent especially for such a small amount. For some reason seeing him like that really stirred up the heat inside of Lelouch as well. Guess his own creation had gotten to him too. Licking his lips, he used his free hand to slide into the chocolate locks of the older male. "Guess it's safe to say it works," he whispered against the others ear before crashing their lips together in a heated kiss. Releasing his hold on the others wrists, the hand slowly traced down the others chest, slipping his tongue into the others mouth.

As Lelouch tired to maneuver the two out of the slippery puddle of coffee spreading around them, Suzaku made quick work of nipping along the younger man's jaw and neck. As they side stepped each other, Suzaku used his right hand to hold the other close while he slipped the other into the folds of Lelouch's jacket and began pulling the cloth down.

By the time he was sure he had finished removing the other's jacket, Suzaku was about to set his sights on the shirt underneath until he felt himself being pushed back onto the couch. The brunette let out an astonished chuckle at what had transpired. Green eyes glanced up through his auburn bangs, which fell forward in the fall. "Don't blame me for what you did." he smirked as he tried pulling his arms loose from where the other held them. Eyeing his roommate up and down from where the other had chosen to sit, Suzaku couldn't help but to lick the bottom of his lip.

Breathing deeply, the detective turned his head to the side to pop the side of his neck and released the tension trapped there. At the feel of Lelouch's hand in his hair, Suzaku allowed a small growl to escape his lips. It was frustrating to feel like he was being denied for a bit, but was glad to feel the affection he had felt building up being returned through a series of more kissing. With his hand free, Suzaku's left hand grips onto the ember locks of the other while they kissed. Slipping one eye open to see Lelouch's held his closed at the moment, the detective smirked into the kiss while he dragged his free hand in caresses down the younger man's back until they reached the hem of his pants where they grabbed through the fabric and brought Lelouch's hips lower onto his own in a rough grind.

Lelouch hissed in pleasure at the friction he received upon the older male yanking his hips down to create contact. Opening his eyes, he met the others emerald gaze, smirk forming on his lips. "You must be sex deprived because you seem desperate to rip my clothes off," he commented, chuckle following. Tracing his hand up to meet where the others was contacted with his shirt. "Are you going to clean the marks that wretched fucker left on me? I wouldn't mind any from you." The words came out like a purr, pulling his hand up slowly lift his shirt.

Licking his lips, Lelouch lowered his body against the others again, an audible grunt leaving him again. In the particular situation they were in, it would be rather problematic if someone decided to walk into his office space and see them tangled together. Although not before slipping on the coffee puddle that covered the door like a welcome mat. Another chuckle escaped him, while others would be worried about being seen, he thrived on that feeling, it was common especially for his nightly hunts. The low growl the older male released brought his attention back to the current situation.

The fact that the others shirt had already been opened made things much easier for him. Aside from that guy Suzaku had brought with him during his drunken stupor, his chest was practically a virgin when it came to marks. Leaning forward, he nipped and sucked at the flesh along the male's chest. He was pretty well toned, which wasn't much of a surprise since he figured he had to be ready for anything in that particular field. Looking up, he grinned at the winced expression of every mark he was leaving. Closing the distance, Lelouch's lips played against the others. "How about another taste." Their lips molded together once again, dominance and the desire for more eminent.

The feeling of Lelouch pushing back against him was more than enticing. Suzaku couldn't get enough of the other man as he held tightly onto the younger man's waist. Fingers slipped carelessly beneath the hem of the college student's jeans and under the loose cloth of boxers as well. Deepening the kiss, his mind clouded over at the sense of feelings coming in. Lelouch's skin was very soft it was amazing he never noticed it during the times they were casually around each other.

Hearing the comment about the previous intruder in their lives, the detective released another growl with more emphasis on the anger he felt at the reminder. "That bastard will never touch you like this again." He gritted as he pulled away from the kiss. Staring hard into Lelouch's amethyst eyes he could see the amusement bluntly shown.

He was about to chided his roommate on the tact one was supposed to take with those kind of situations but placed the thought out of his head immediately as the younger man lowered his head to the exposed chest he had forgotten about. Unsure what the other was planning he felt a rush of air against heated skin sending a chill down his spine before the feel of Lelouch's mouth against him. Green eyes never left off the expressions Lelouch made as he left small marks along his chest. With each nip, Suzaku squeezed the skin under his left hand and brought the two hips closer to a grind.

He eagerly accepted the kisses being offered while combing his free hand along the side of Lelouch's arm. Nothing went unnoticed between them as he felt a rush going downward. The feel of something hard pressing against him, reminded Suzaku of Lelouch's need as well beneath them. Pulling back from the kiss slightly he held the other closer to him in a tight hug. Thinking long about where things seemed to be going he released a sigh. "Are you sure you want to do this… on such a dingy couch… with me?" he whispered in the other's ear.

The desire to let the laugh he was holding inside was almost too great to withhold at the mention of the male not coming anywhere near him again. 'You might find out all too soon on that,' he thought to himself, tracing his fingers over the scowl on the others face. The angry possessiveness in the others eyes seemed to increase the blood flow throughout his body. It was something he hadn't felt before, he liked the idea of being desired by the older male. For once he would allow himself to indulge in his sexual desires.

Lelouch blinked when the other shifted and pulled him into a hug. He was rather confused at the question, he pulled away and stared at him for a moment. "I will have you know that this couch is relatively new, I picked it out not even 8 months ago," he chided, allowing a childish smile to form on his lips. It wasn't until he took a moment to fully analyze the situation that his brain started to wonder. "Although I am surprised you are asking me this question when you have me shirtless and with my pants practically off..."

Glancing at his lab coat on the floor, he caught a glimpse of the bottle peeking its way out. "That makes sense...I think the question is more for you than me. If your doing this due to effects of the drug then it's a good thing we stopped here huh," he replied, lifting himself off the other to stand up. Lelouch then began to fix his pants before moving towards the small area he kept cleaning supplies. "You may want to fix yourself up, I'm going to clean up the coffee spilled at the door before it spreads anymore." Pulling out wipes, he did his best to ignore the maniacal laughter echoing in his head. 'Don't say I didn't tell you it was a bad idea.'

Repressing a groan at the other's last tease, half-lidded green eyes followed the other man as Lelouch made his way over towards the coffee still on the floor. He knew it was his idea to slow down, but the tightening in his pants was the ever-present reminder that disappointment was to be expected. The heat in the room did seem to cool down a bit without the college student being on top of him.

Trying to stand up for a bit was a bad idea as he felt his erection pressing against the zipper of his pant. Growling a bit at the discomfort, Suzaku sat back down on the couch and focused on trying to will away the hard-on. After what felt like a lifetime, his eyes trailed over to where Lelouch was still crouched down. Enjoying the nice view, Suzaku couldn't help the thoughts that flowed through. "Well the room is private…" he concluded before reaching into his pants.

Repressing a hiss at the feel of sensitive skin, Suzaku closed his eyes slightly as he reimagined how things could have turned out if he hadn't made them stop. The thought of Lelouch turning around to see his performance had crossed his mind once, but was easily dismissed. "It's not like he wasn't going to see it anyway…"

The consistent smell of coffee was beginning to irritate him. Normally Lelouch didn't have a problem with it but the slippery liquid and lingering smell mixed with the lemony citrus of the wipes were starting to get to him. Releasing a sigh, he allowed his arm a moment to rest. Then a sound caught his ear, it was faint and stifled but it was there. It was coming from behind him, and he could only assume what course of actions the other was taking after their encounter.

It reminded him of the pain he felt between his legs as well, though he was rather used to repressing sexual frustration. Lelouch's mind was growing fuzzy, closing his eyes as the sounds were echoing around him. Opening his eyes again, a sadistic smile formed on his face. 'Oh my, I'm let out to play next to one of the detectives assigned to my case... how lovely.' Making a movement to stand, Zero felt his legs restricted. 'Damn this boy...'

Finally managing to get himself to stand, Zero gave a silent look around. There was nothing of use in the room; then again it would be harder to dispose of this one's body if it was in a public area of the campus. Cursing silently, he then felt something in his pocket. Fiddling with it, he realized it was Lelouch's phone. 'Hmmm...how about we embarrass you a little...' Pulling out the phone, the younger male snapped pictures of the detective pleasuring himself on the couch.

A sudden knock at the door brought Lelouch back as the nerves in his body tensed for a moment. When the older male turned around to see the younger male with his phone out, he simply played it off with a smirk. "Just couldn't wait could you," he spoke lowly.

"Hey Lelouch are you in there? I need your help with something," called a female voice from the opposite side of the door. "Yeah, I'm here. Give me a sec, some tubes broke and I just finished cleaning." Slipping his phone in his pocket he leaned down to pick up his shirt and lab coat. Once he was done dressing he cast a final look at the other man. "Carry on," he called with a tease before walking out the door.

With eyes firmly closed to keep the images of the younger man raggedly squirming beneath him, the detective's hand moved in a firm grip. What had been reached through the cloth was now too awake to be contained under the fabric of denim. His breathing hitched a bit as he quickened the pace. Hearing a click in the distance, the twenty something year old chanced opening one eye to gaze over in the other's direction.

It was there by the door that he saw Lelouch with a hand holding onto his phone with an leering grin plastered over his face. Feeling his cheeks flush for a moment, the rational part of his mind concluded that if Suzaku truly didn't want to be caught, he wouldn't have chanced the other man turning around in the first place. With a resolute mind, the roommate returned the smirk in smug satisfaction. "Like what you see?" he countered as he resumed in his lewd actions. Biting the corner of his lip as his palm gave another firm squeeze, green eyes locked onto purple.

Hearing the knock on the door had the detective quickly standing to get out of view. He tried to side-step his way along the couch but cursed at his luck of hitting his shin against the nearest table instead. "Damn it!" he cursed while keeping his back to the door. While he heard the voices talk in the background, the older man tried not to make a sound as he adjusted the jean he was wearing to try to force the hard member back in to a point where it was less likely to stand out.

Lelouch did his best not to let out a snicker when he heard the others sound of pain upon hitting himself on something. 'Now what's the fun of doing something like that without the thrill of being caught,' he thought to himself. Shutting the door behind him, he looked down at the familiar blonde female. "What was it you needed, Milly?" She looked up at him, light smile on her face. He could see the faint tint on her cheeks, the affections seemed to become more apparent recently after the older male had pointed it out at the farmer's market.

"I'm having some problems with the chemical mixing for a project, can I trouble you to help me out?" The pleading look in her eyes reflected the anticipation of his response. His thoughts traveled back to the male who was in his room, hiding the indiscretion he was performing. Lelouch wanted nothing more than to return to the room so he may continue watching. But he also remembered the uncertainty the other displayed when they were intimate. The tightness in his pants was a reminder that he would have to blow off steam since the other wasn't interested in going all the way.

His attention returned back to the smaller female. "Sure, I'll help you." She cheered with excitement before taking his arm to lead him back to her office room. The tight hold he felt on his arm caused him to feel awkward. Normally he didn't have a problem with females getting rather close to him, but this one in particular was someone he met at school and any involvement could mean slip ups due to her rather dependent nature. 'Or it could be the perfect cover...' Lelouch's eyes hooded lightly at the thought, releasing a sigh as he tugged along by the overly happy girl. 'I wonder if things will end well...' he thought to himself as his mind wandered back to the older male hiding away in his room.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Suzaku turned his gaze to look back at where the other was. Ignoring the tightness in his pants, he made his way around the couch and peaked through the small window of the door. Seeing the girl from the other night with her arm wrapped around his best friend's shoulder had the detective grit his teeth in annoyance.

"So... he does like her?" he questioned before looking back to the spot the two had been minutes prior. There wasn't a possibility to deny the attraction the two shared, so there wasn't a real reason to feel jealous. Either way he couldn't stop the stress building up at the sight of the little blonde around Lelouch.

Allowing the better of him to get clouded, Suzaku exited the room as quietly as he could before following behind the younger adults. Peering from around the corner he wasn't sure if the two could see him. He may not been able to hear what they were talking about but it all bothered him even more.

Lelouch was only partially paying attention to anything the girl was saying. Milly was an energetic chatterbox, words going miles per minute. How she was managing to squeeze in so many stories of different things through the walk to her room was beyond him. "So I made some stuffed zucchini and had plenty left over. Would you like to try some later?" Blinking at the question he was asked, he directed his attention back to her. "If I have time. Right now let's focus on getting those experiments done," he replied with a smile. The faint tint on her face only seemed to fuel the smile on his. 'This girls affections are so obviously painful...'

They entered her room, leaving the door slightly open. "Alright so what was it you needed help with?" Lelouch watched the smaller female busy around to get her notes and the materials needed for the chemical mix. "The elements in these two chemicals are consistent to each other yet when I try to mix them together to form a compound, they seem to either separate completely or one ends up dissolving through the other." Picking up the two viles, he examined them before placing drops of each in the petri dish. "These two particular elements do show that consistency, however you need to take into consideration that they are one of the elements with higher atoms. The reason the chemical compound isn't sticking is because there has to be a total of eight atoms per compound, with these you go over, and the excess atoms deteriorate the structure."

Milly nodded her head, taking down notes as the male gave her his reaction to her dilemma. "But if my project requires both of these high atom chemicals, is there a way to have them combined without the backfire?" Thinking about it for a moment, Lelouch's attention was brought a noise he heard at the door of the room. Glancing over, he allowed a smirk to lightly form on his face at the sight of someone familiar. Turning back to his colleague, he placed the viles back in place. "Yes there is. In order for two chemicals to coincide smoothly, you'd have to add a lower based chemical which can subtract the excess atoms, once that is done and the lower chemical is no longer needed they can form a nice compound." Milly smiled, placing her notes down. "You are really great at this you know." She began to laugh, however Lelouch paid no attention, merely laughing along side her as his eyes traveled back to the door, smirk in place.

"He smirked!" ran through Suzaku's mind as he looked away with his back pressed against the wall. He had no doubt that he had been caught snooping around. Scratching his head in annoyance, the detective released a long sigh before closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose in concentration. "The little prick is never going to let me live this down." he muttered before trying to regain his bearings. Thinking long and hard about why it was he chose to follow the two resulted in a smack against his forehead.

Peeking through the window one last time, green eyes caught on to the sight of the blond giggling about something or another while his roommate fiddled with the vials on the desk. Glancing away the older man made his way back to where he knew Lelouch's private lab was located. Once he got to the familiar door, his reached out to open it with his left hand only to find the knob would not budge. Recognizing the digital key right by the wall, Suzaku cursed himself for not remembering this part of the room earlier.

Looking down the hallway on either side, the brunette weighed his options. He didn't want to stand around like some kind of idiot. Lelouch would only have even more of a riot with that. Walking north to where he had first seen the break room, the detective decided it was best to wait there. "Lelouch will find me either way. Might as well replace that coffee wasted on the floor."

Once in the room, he made his way over to the machines in the back. Unlike earlier, there had been no one there to interact with. After a steaming cup was dispensed, the twenty-six year old made his way down to the nearest table and pulled back a chair. After several minutes of waiting, the older man pulled out his phone and began to look up things on the internet. "Spending data because the school won't let me connect; how uncool." he chuckled before coming across the number he was looking for. After a long call the young man flipped closed his phone with a grin before putting it back into his shirt pocket.
