Kamia: So I definitely need a new job now... too bad no one is hiring.

Chapter 13

Clearing the parking lot, Suzaku took the time to admire how relaxed his friend now seemed to be. Thinking back to the troubles of their past, and knowing how well mannered adults they have grown up to be, the older man couldn't help the smile on his face as they pulled up on the ramp to the expressway. "The whole time we spent as children never hinted to a night like this, did it?" he wondered out loud randomly as Lelouch was browsing through the radio stations. "I mean knowing we would spend our lives together from now on... makes me glad for Tamaki's broken nose that night. Wouldn't change it for the world." he joked. As they neared their exit, he recognized the song that had started up to be something from Maroon 5, but couldn't place a finger on the name.

Lelouch had been staring out into the passing traffic before turning his attention over to Suzaku. "In truth, I never really knew what to expect. There were times all I could do was hope that I would grow up still good friends with you, especially after being separated not long after high school. After all we only saw each other one year after our departure in elementary school." His gaze drifted to the radio when a familiar song started playing. These were things he heard often at the lab, they always had the radio on there and he subjected himself to it before locking himself in his space with his own music.

"Oh? So that night was a highlight on your feelings for me? Were you scamming on my ass like the others were," he teased, his familiar smug grin on his face. When they pulled into the parking garage, Lelouch unbuckled himself allowing himself to stretch but not moving to get out of the vehicle just yet. "I've actually ran into some of your former classmates prior, all have said I look 'different', I'm guessing in the sense that I don't have the girlish look. They even made an effort to try to get my number though I never gave it to them, none were really friends of mine so I saw no reason to keep in touch."

Shifting in the seat, Lelouch stared over at the older male. "You hung out with some strange people. Then again, I'm rather strange myself, wouldn't you say?" Running his fingers through his black hair, he released a sigh before reaching for the handle. "We should head inside, I want to stretch out on the couch after being confined to a cramped sitting position for quite a while," he teased, voice hinting at the position they'd been in at the restaurant.

"I wish I could say so, but at the time I wasn't thinking too hard on my sexuality and was only interested in trying to steal a cigarette from the older kids." the detective admitted. He may not be too proud to admit his life was more of a cliché from the 50s than being his own person, but growing up isn't that easy. Thinking on it made the older man give a glance to his younger friend. Knowing full well how hard Lelouch must of had it only brought a frown to his face, but he didn't want to bring up any bad memories after trying to cheer the college student up. "You strange? That's non-sense; at least you didn't try to fit it with people who weren't that great."

As they reached their apartment block, Suzaku drove up the ramp to the parking garage higher level. Around this time of night, there wasn't going to be anything on the lower levels available, but that didn't really bother him since their rooms were on the fourth floor anyways. Locking the car and pacing to the elevator, Suzaku chanced reaching out to take the other's hand. "So how are you feeling now?" he asked with underlined concern. The ride up was spent in comfortable silence that any music would have disrupted if the manager had been inclined to include it in the mechanics. Unlocking the door to the living quarters, the detective allowed his lover to enter first before closing up behind them.

Lelouch glanced over at the others comment about him not being strange. He couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips for a moment before he wiped it away. While he was his own 'person' now, his past was made up of being what was expected of him. A reflective glance of his current appearance caused him to think of how different he was from his past self. Longer hair that was usually unkempt in opposite of his child-like short cut he used to have, leaner than what his father would have preferred, and his face a bit more feminine that would have driven his mother and sister into jealous fits due to their conceited views.

The feel of Suzaku's hand on his brought his thoughts back to the present, allowing himself to be pulled into the elevator. "I'm feeling...normal." He knew his response would sound a little odd, but in truth, other than Zero rearing his head in opposition to their newly formed relationship, there had been no other outburst. Lelouch went as far as to call it a blessing for now, fearing the worst outcome. Entering the apartment, he proceeded to kick off his shoes at the doorway and continued on in his socks.

For some odd reason, he really enjoyed being back in the private space of their place. It had a calming effect on him, opposite of the dread he used to feel when he had to return to his family home. His content feeling was short lived when he felt the familiar pang of pain in his head. Time for some medicine. Moving into the kitchen, he reached into the medicine cabinet to pull out his prescription. "Thanks for spending the day with me. I'm sure things got strained over at the station," he called before popping the pills into his mouth and following through with water.

Noticing Lelouch's direct path to the kitchen did strike Suzaku as odd, until he remembered the other's pension for main medication. Although he knew nothing on what the pills were meant for and had promised not to question them in the past, didn't change the fact that he found them to have an addictive effect on his roommate and the cop would prefer to have the other off them completely. "Another headache?" he asked casually, trying not to show his disapproval. He followed into the kitchen and watched as the college student downed the pills in one go.

Turning away from the sight he opened the fridge to see if they still had that wine from dinner several nights back. He had originally bought it just for cooking, but seeing as how they already had a fantastic meal and the bottle was open it would just go to waste in the fridge and most likely turn to vinegar before the older man felt like cooking again. "This cost me quite a bit, so how about we enjoy another glass?" he reasoned as he pulled out the white wine and closed the door before showing off the glass in his hand to the other. Placing the bottle on the counter for a moment, the brunette reached his hand in the cupboard for the stem glasses he liked to save on hand for company.

Beckoning the young man to follow, Suzaku placed everything on the living room table before opening the bottle once again and pouring one for each of them. "The day isn't over yet, and we have plenty of time before I have to turn on any devices yet." he teased before handing the glass to Lelouch and sitting on the couch languidly and taking a sip.

The younger male didn't respond just yet to the others question about headaches, the bitter taste of the pill still lingering on his tongue. Lelouch knew it was only a matter of time before the older male would question why he took them so frequently over the years. In the past, their schedules always led them to pass each other frequently that it was never as obvious as it was now. "You could say that, they seem to be happening more often now," he replied after a while. Closing the pill bottle, he placed it back in the medicine cabinet.

Tilting his head to the side when the older male commented about drinking the wine, giving him a slight smile. "Sure, that way you don't complain about it going to waste." Moving away from the counter, he followed the older male into the living room, sitting beside his lover. Fingers lazily gripped the stem of the glass that the detetive handed him, staring down at the liquid. 'I wonder if the effects will be voided if I mixed alcohol with the medication like I'm warned not to...' Deciding to disregard it, he lifted it to his lips and took a sip.

Purple eyes moved from the glass to the brunette, glass moving away from his lips. "I figured you had time until you were called in regarding the case. I'm actually quite surprised they haven't contacted you at all. It has been rather nice to have you around and not dragging your tired on the verge of death body through the door to collapse on your bed to sleep." Lelouch shifted his body to face the green-eyed male. "It looks like it is really working you hard, I just hope you are careful."

The day had been rather pleasant. So much, in fact, that the detective had momentarily forgotten that there was a serial killer out on the streets this very second. Some poor soul could be lured to an unfavorable death with no one to help. Looking towards the back of the apartment, Suzaku could only imagine the cityscape beyond the wall. If he checked in with Gino right now perhaps-

Before his thoughts could continue in their track, the detective looked back to his side as his roommate sat down next to him. "No... not just roommate." he thought as a deep breath was taken. Jumping off his police investigator mode before it ruined any more moments with worry, the older man studied the other as the bottle of wine was shared between them. It wasn't a bad flavor, but if given the choice of any other color, white wine wasn't something he looked forward to drinking alone. He was glad to share this moment not only in food but in time between them. The taste was crisp with hints of bitters at the end. It reminded the cop of that kiss shared not to long ago during a very nice Vietnamese meal. "He's not just my friend anymore, he's my partner in more ways than one." Suzaku raised his arm to lean across the back of Lelouch's shoulder while inching forward to place a light kiss on his cheek.

"Yeah well, the way I see it, the Chief owes me this day off to start with. Gino can handle any new leads without me for a while so there is no real problem there." he answered as confident as he was in his name. "Besides I turned off my pager in favor of today. As I said earlier, there is nothing I would ever deny of you." the detective confessed before taking another swig of the wine in hand.

Giving the other a glance, Suzaku wondered if he was being too forward. He didn't want to seem too pushy after the events of the other night, yet there was a rhythm in his chest that refused to back down. After agreeing to make their relationship something more lasting, he was certain that any move he made would only be meet with approval from Lelouch at this point. There was only so much teasing a lover could get away with before his endurance broke and he was willing to take a risk. Placing the near empty wine glass down on the small table in front of them, Suzaku reached out his other hand to take the glass away from his young partner in order to prevent any spillage.

Ignoring the questioning look he earned, Suzaku reached up to cup the other's face and held it there aa he leaned closer. "You know, before we were interrupted by a curious waitress, I do believe you were about to administer another dose. Now it seems to be too late and I'm far deep in my withdrawals." he teased before allowing a smirk to show. Bringing their lips together, the older man kept his gaze unlocked with the others. He enjoyed the sounds made at the back of Lelouch's throat and decided to push a little further. Using his unoccupied hand, he snaked it between the couch and the younger man's back before settling on the curve of a spine. As Lelouch's shivered at the feel of fingers over his nerves, Suzaku used the distraction to pull the other to rest fully in his lap. "My cottontail. " Suzaku grinned before grinding up against the other settled on his legs.

Lelouch's mind was in a roller coaster of emotions, a small sense of fear that he was crossing a boundary that could never be undone if they continued and decided that it wasn't what they wanted or liked, a huge amount of repressed sexual desire that he had hidden away due to his aggressive side, and then there was his other self who was spewing different profane words that he could think of. It was an understatement that Zero didn't like the position they were in, not only could it compromise everything that had been done so far but it could hinder any future activity.

A groan left Lelouch as shivers ran up his spine, his senses heightened at the touch of the other's hand as well as the grinding of his hips against him. "I could express to you countless times how much I detest that name, but then again, only you could get away with calling me that." Lelouch returned the others grin, hands undoing the buttons of Suzaku's shirt as he leaned forward, lips ghosting a touch. "If you feel so desperate for another dosage, I would be happy to oblige as well as offer so much more that you may just overdose," he whispered against Suzaku, soft skin teasing brief moments of contact with each other.

It wasn't until Lelouch was done unbuttoning the others shirt that he actually indulged the other with another heated kiss, hands sliding down the others arms to push the fabric off. Despite the increase of anger in Zero's voice, Lelouch made the decision that he was going to take the risk. There was only so much repression he could allow himself to endure before the need for carnal pleasure took over. Pulling away for a moment, he took the opportunity to slide the older male to the side till his back was resting on the sofa and he sat atop of him.

Lelouch caught the look of surprise come across Suzaku's green eyes and he almost felt himself loose his composure. It felt as thought Zero was digging his nails into his very core, trying to drag himself out but he wouldn't allow it. 'Let me have my fun damn it!' The battle seemed to flash through his eyes before he was in control once again, Zero seeming to have given up and disappearing to the back of his conscious. "I think we have both been pretty pent up from work and stress, so let's just tune out of this world for a while." His grin turned into a smirk, his hands sliding up from his waist, taking his shirt with him till it slipped off from his head and he tossed it aside.

Suzaku felt as his shirt began to be unbuttoned. There were hands at his chest, roaming his waist, and then to his thighs. The kiss was hungry and awfully violent. The detective tried his best to keep up, to attain some sort of control. Suzaku slipped expertly into the younger man's mouth, devouring what he could without much patience as he traced every hidden seam of wet skin that Lelouch hadn't the strength to even attempt to keep from him. The older man pulled away with a muffled pop before he lent down to ravage Lelouch's neck again, biting sharply all along the pulse of the jugular vein. Lelouch was a drug. A sedative. A powerful and beautiful morphine with soft curls and empathetic violet eyes. And like a drug, Lelouch was nothing short to addictive and oh so hellishly lethal. That's when Suzaku really started digging into his neck, all teeth and tongue and no care at all given for any broken skin.

"Fuck, I want you so bad." Suzaku let out as his hands traced the outlines of the other's jeans. Pulling the other closer he unzipped the front and tucked. He smirked at a sort of low, sensuous growl Lelouch let out in response. A burst of cold air hit the college boy's legs, followed by him kicking out of his socks and shoes without hardly remembering his own heist. Suzaku couldn't retain the slight moan at the sight before him. It simply wouldn't have been human if he had. Lelouch rested in only his thin boxers on the detective's lap, long legs bending on either side of him. Noticing the slight bruise, sparked in the older man's mind, but he chose to deal with that later. There was no point in spoiling this tension between them when it was very clear what they wanted. The report could be made later, since a rape kit won't be needed.

Panting quietly despite himself, Lelouch's eyes began to glaze over with what appeared to be lust, dulling greatly in their brilliant color. His brow knit upward, face carded red. His mind reeled, his skin too hot. Suzaku could feel the full weight of his cock shamelessly press against his thigh, and was almost assured that Lelouch could feel it just as distinctly. His dick lied frantic in its painful confines, leaking now from in between his quivering legs.

Suzaku had moved back up to Lelouch's lips and took it upon himself to prolong the kiss for a longer while, audibly swallowing whenever the kiss seemed to have overwhelmed him the most. Feeling emboldened by Lelouch's silent approval and amusements, he slipped both hands beneath the last article of clothing keeping the younger man decent. The air was all but knocked out of Lelouch's lungs the moment Suzaku's hands had traveled back towards his ass, clenching hard and possessively. He felt the very tips of Suzaku's fingers give the occasional brush against his hole, teasing it. Lelouch's cock jumped at the feeling, eager for more. While one hand stayed firm in its area of harassment, the other slides to grip hold at the college student's crotch. Suzaku's thumb grazed against the slit of Lelouch's dick, squeezing a little harder along the thick length of Lelouch's sodden cock. He pumped softly at first, spreading the pre-cum leaking from the head in circular patterns to provide some friction while simultaneously covering the rest of the shaft in a wet coating. He built up the tempo ever so slowly, resisting the urge to forego any foreplay. He swallowed every moan that came from the other's mouth as his hands squeezed harder.

Suzaku never allowed Lelouch to look away from him as their eyes stayed interlocked. Instead, Suzaku stared Lelouch straight into his violet eyes, quietly watching as he caressed the only man who had ever managed to seduce him to such vicious and intimate levels. Using his other free hand to slide Lelouch's boxers right off his ankles.

Words could not describe how much Lelouch was enjoying the sensations he was feeling with the other male. It had been so long since he'd allowed himself to really give in to the touch of another person without being disgusted by past memories. What had started out as him taking initiative was quickly flipped and he soon found himelf breathless, panting and completely powerless against the older male.

A soft sigh left him at the feel of lips to his neck before a gasp was wrenched from him, eyes shooting open at the feel of teeth. At first it seemed like alarms were going off in his head, momentary fear of Zero breaking free but the unthinkable happened...he was purring at the sensations. Momentary pain from skin breaking caused him to cry out but it was laced with dark pleasure.

Lelouch smirked at the older male's remark, shudders running through his spine at the sound of need in his voice. "Is that so?" It was a first to see the composed detective lose reason, this was a thrilling sensation that made him painfully erect and it seemed to have the same effect on the older male. The feel of the detective's hardened cock brushing against his leg through the confines of his pants nearly made him lose his own composure. Goosebumps ran over his skin, every touch from the other was like cool release against his heated skin, muscles tensing as Suzaku's hands slipped into the confines of his last piece of clothing. Nails dug into the cushions at the feel of fingers threatening to penetrate, never having someone actually enter before.

"Fuck..." The word left his lips in a whisper, his body trembling in anticipation, his eyes were locked on the others piercing green ones, they seemed to test him limits and see how much he was willing to give him. Lelouch was being reduced to a quivering mess under this man. His mouth hung open in abandon as moans left him with each stroke made over his cock, the feel of pre-cum leaking onto the detective's fingers.

His cheeks flushed with every pass over his slit, moans increasing in tempo till his mouth was captured by the older male. With his only free hand, Lelouch brought it up to the others face to deepen the kiss, feeding whimpers of need into the others wet cavern. Wanting more, his tongue slipped inside the others mouth, shivering at sensitivity he was feeling run from his mouth to his spine, only pulling away when he was in desperate need for air.

He was used to being looked at with desire but the others gaze on him made him feel weak, needy and hot. At the feel of the cool apartment air against absolute bare skin, he retrieved the hand used for the fabrics removal and traced it against his soft skin. "Touch me more...make me go crazy," he pleaded, as he ran the others rough hand over his chest. It was thrilling to see the flicker of emotions in the others green stare, a battle of rationality versus feral desire to mark, to dominate, and lose themselves in violent nirvana. "Suzaku...make me yours," he whispered, releasing his hold on the others arm to lean up and capture his new found lover's lips in a heated kiss, gyrating bare hips at the others clothed ones, moans leaving him in a pleasure laced pleas.

To be Continued
