A/N: Wow. 7 reviews in less than a day. I feel so loved. Thanks go to all of my wonderful reviewers: Lady-Amaltea, AEDReaper, KarimaTinCan, HyperAnimeGirl. Arkaham, Poisioned-Inkwell, and NiftyNoodles.

The next chapter should be up tomorrow, but it may take a while to update after that, seeing as there are two directions I want this story to go and I have to decide which one is best. Most likely I'll end up going with the less cliched idea, but that still means I have to write it.

Warnings: Suzalulu Yaoi. Yay!

Now, onward to the story

Zero, the hero of the masses, the leader of the rebellion, the faceless enemy of Britannian, stood before his Black Knights preparing to set the record straight about the awkward situation many of them had caught him in. His plan was to reiterate the house rules, specifically keep out during do-not-disturb times and wait for permission to enter a room. He had thought that these people, being adults, would have understood those concepts, but perhaps he was mistaken.

Well, the idea was to go over the rules of the Black Knights, but that only worked in theory. In reality, Tamaki started laughing the second Zero walked into the common room. Of course it was no help at all that his renowned black mask was askew and his shirt was not properly buttoned; the cape was missing entirely. Hesitantly a few of the newer members of the Black Knights began to chuckle.

C.C. started to giggle and point at him. This apparently started a chain reaction because Kallen hurriedly covered her mouth in an attempt to block her laughter. Ohgi too attempted to hide his amusement, but failed miserably. Even Toudou and Chiba couldn't resist joining in. And to make it even worse, Diethard was taping this.

This was the last straw. Nobody laughed at Lelouch vi Britannia and NOBODY EVER laughed at Zero. Lelouch took an intimidating step forward intending to shut everyone up and was more than surprised when it actually worked. The laughter began to die down and Zero could begin his speech.

Lelouch sighed gratefully. Now he could finally rebuke his Knights for disturbing him at such an inconvenient time.

Ohgi listened intently as Zero began to chew them all out.

"What on earth was going through your heads? I said do NOT disturb me. Did you think that was a suggestion, because it was an ORDER."

Zero was so overdramatic, Ohgi thought. He was always doing those crazy, overzealous arm movements. Ohgi couldn't help but wince every time one of Zero's gloved hands flew out. There were several very expensive, old antiques in the Headquarters. It had been a Britannia nobleman's home previously.

Shatter.

Oh no, that one had to be at least a hundred years old and worth more than all of them could earn in a year. It had also been one of Ohgi's favorite decorations. A large ornamental vase decorated with pictures of some mythical bird god. And now it was in pieces on the floor.

Ohgi looked around. Except for Diethard who seemed excited by this new turn of events and C.C. who looked exasperated, it seemed the rest of the Black Knights were now a bit frightened. Zero did seem very angry, but no one had expected him to break anything.

What scared Ohgi the most though was Zero's lack of reaction. He didn't stop speaking to pick up, or order someone to pick up, the shattered ceramic. He didn't change his tone of voice to convey any additional anger or any embarrassment. He didn't pause in his speech to stare at the destruction. He didn't even notice.

Either Zero was deaf and blind, which Ohgi knew was not the case, or he was just wrapped up in his own speech. Ohgi knew that to be the problem and was rather worried. Zero was completely defenseless in this state.

Hell, if the Knight of Seven himself showed up, Zero probably wouldn't even notice!

There was a faint squeaking sound coming from the bedroom, as if someone was opening a door. This was followed by a clicking sound. Someone was walking.

The Black Knights turned as one to stare at the door. All of them were wondering who this mystery girl was who had Zero so captivated.

The main door swung open and a person sauntered out. There were gasps of shock and fear as well as people rubbing their eyes thinking they were hallucinating. This simply could not be. It was impossible.

The Knight of Seven, Suzaku Kururugi was here. In Black Knight Headquarters. And dressed only in Zero's cape!

Zero was so entranced by his own speech that he did not even feel the familiar weight of Suzaku press down on his shoulders and the even more familiar feeling of soft, surprisingly gentle lips on his exposed neck.

Meanwhile, every single person in the room was staring in shock and outright horror at the scene playing out before them. Their enemy was in their HQ, barely dressed, and acting very close to their leader. It must be a trick. A few drew their weapons, ready to assist their leader if needed.

Zero, however, did not even seem to notice that something was amiss.

Instead, he just continued to lecture, "…and I don't care if the world is ending, I said I was busy…"

The entire Black Knight audience was getting rather nervous at Zero's lack of response. Why didn't he notice Suzaku? Couldn't he feel Suzaku touching him? What was the Knight of Seven doing in their headquarters, in Zero's room no less? Zero's clothing was wrinkled and sweaty, had he been tortured? Why was Suzaku in Zero's cape? Why wasn't Suzaku fully dressed? And most importantly, WHY on earth was Suzaku kissing Zero's neck?

That's all for now. Second chapter done. Let me know what you think.
As I said at the top, the next chapter will be up tomorrow, but after that, there are no promises.
