A/N: I meant to get this up yesterday, but I had to change some things because there were parts that just didn't really work and then fanfiction was working properly when I was trying to upload it. Anyway, it's up now and it's much better than before. This is my favorite chapter so far, so I hope you enjoy it.
I have no clue when the next chapter will be up, though it will most likely be within a week. If it's not though, just bear with me because I promise to update as soon as I can.
Tamaki could not help but feel numb with shock. A Britannian Knight was in the same room as he was and to make matters worse it was Suzaku Kururugi. Oh, that Kururgi kid just made him so mad. Didn't he already prove that he was better than Suzaku? Yeah, Tamaki remembered it clearly.
He was in Shinjuku ghetto and there were some Britannian school boys talking about Elevens and how they deserved to be killed. So he, being the great soldier that he was, jumped in and told them off. He had the situation handled, those damn Britannians were so scared they were about to run away and the legend of the mighty Tamaki would be started.
But then that Kururugi came waltzing in like he owned the place, and he most certainly did not own any part of Shinjuko. Tamaki very nicely asked the boy to leave, but instead, the traitor tried to pick a fight with him. So of course Tamaki had reluctantly beaten him up. Yeah, that was exactly what had occurred. And now here Kururugi was, again.
Shouldn't Suzaku be too frightened of him to get even within a five-hundred foot radius?
Well, that was just fine. Tamaki would just show him who was boss again. He had to after all. Suzaku was attacking Zero, his Very Best Friend. And friends always came first, especially when that meant he could punch a traitor in front of all of his co-workers. Yeah, they would call him a hero.
"Get away from Zero" Tamaki charged forward with the intent of bringing Suzaku down a few pegs.
Every single person in the room had been considering the exact thing Tamaki was now attempting, so they turned their attention from the very odd scene in front of the room to the other very odd scene of Tamaki running at full speed.
Unfortunately for Tamaki, Suzaku was a highly trained soldier. Although his lips were still firmly attached to the base of Lelouch's throat, he could sense a person approaching at what might be deemed high speed for some, but to Suzaku seemed more like a brisk walk.
Without even looking up, Suzaku stuck his arm straight out in front of him and felt something hard collide with his clenched fist.
BANG!! Tamaki didn't even see it coming.
Zero paused in his speech. He seemed slightly surprised, as though he had just realized nobody had been listening to him. He glared, or what passed for a glare in the expressionless mask, at Tamaki for interrupting him and then preceded to find out why nobody had been listening. From the terrified, slack-jawed expressions on the faces of his organization members and the way they were frantically pointing, it appeared as though the source of this disturbance was located on his right shoulder. He hesitantly turned to look.
Oh, that was it. "I told you to stay in the room."
Suzaku just smiled innocently at him, reaching up to grasp the trademark mask, straightening it out from its previous crooked position. Zero too reached up to make sure the mask was really on properly, leaving his body open for Suzaku to attack. And attack Suzaku did.
He grabbed Zero's suit jacket, unbuttoned it, revealing some very tempting skin, and then sadly re-buttoned it, properly this time. As much as he wanted to continue the fun they had been having before the interruption, he knew Lelouch would not appreciate an audience. Suzaku understood that even though Lelouch was self-obsessed and egotistic, he was also incredibly shy when it came to personal matters.
C.C. was the only person not affected by this display of affection. She had always known what was going on in there; she had, in fact, walked in on these two once before. It's true, she didn't see them actually having sex, but they were lying in bed together, both their clothes and the blankets had been discarded on the floor. Lelouch had ordered her out, so she vowed revenge. And now seemed to be the ideal time.
One second to set her face into an innocent and horrified expression. Perfect.
"What were you two doing? And why isn't he wearing any clothes? Are you cheating on me?!"
Zero was frantically shaking his head at C.C., trying in vain to prevent her from asking anything before he could come up with a valid story. If she just shut up, he could pass this off as some sort of test or dream or something. Too late though; the question was asked and every single Black Knight was staring intently at Zero waiting for an answer.
"Master Zero," Kaguya began, "is this true? You're cheating on us?"
Lelouch was very unsure how to proceed here. He had never thought up a plan for escape for this particular situation.
Seeing the dilemma, Suzaku jumped in to rescue his prince, "we were just cuddling a bit. We lost track of the time though, I should have been out of here hours ago."
Was that supposed to be an answer? They were cuddling? By the sound of it, Suzaku came over often, but that couldn't be right. Security was top-notch. And Kallen in particular couldn't help but notice that the question of Suzaku's state of dress, or lack thereof, went completely unanswered.
"Can we just tie him up already and get to Penglai Island?" Ohgi asked, trying to grab onto familiar territory; battles he could handle, but he did not want to think about what Suzaku was doing in Zero's room. They were cuddling? And they had been naked from the look of things! Ohgi didn't even want to begin to consider which one of the two boys in front of him would top, much less which one would initiate a cuddling session.
"Ring ring ring"
The sound of a cell phone jerked Ohgi away from his increasingly perverted thoughts.
"Again?" Suzaku reached into his pocket pulling out the silver phone that was omitting the obnoxious ring tone and glanced at the caller ID. "Damn, why is it always him." Suzaku then turned back around and retreated to Zero's room for some privacy. "Yeah Gino, I know. I'll be there soon…"
This action left Zero alone to face his subordinates' questioning and upset stares. As soon as Suzaku was out of sight the Black Knights turned to their leader expectantly. "Well Zero, what'd ya say?" "We tie him up, right, Master Zero?" "What are your orders, sir?"
Lelouch delayed answering a bit, trying to decide who he would prefer to have mad at him. His resistance group, the Black Knights, who followed his orders and many times had saved his life or Suzaku who he loved more than anyone else in the world, besides Nunnally, although that was a different type of love. Both options seemed very unpleasant, not to mention dangerous.
Before he could figure out what to do, Suzaku rejoined them, emerging from the bedroom, now fully dressed in his white Knight of Rounds uniform. Zero's cape draped over one of his arms.
Suzaku approached Lelouch, unfolded the cape and gently wrapped it around his shoulders. Surprised by this gesture, Lelouch reached up to fasten his cloak, but need not have done so, as Suzaku had wrapped his arms around Lelouch as well, his fingers making quick work of the clasp. Their hands touched and Suzaku smiled, nuzzling his head against the back of his lover's left shoulder, pausing only to ask the question that brought Zero's mind crashing back to reality.
"So, can I get a ride to work?"
Hope you all liked it. Special thanks go to my reviewers.
Neo Diji: Yeah, I'm glad I finally posted, too. I know it seems crackish, but you've seen my stories. This is actually very serious compared to the rest of my ideas. Lol.
And to answer your question, yes Suzaku is ONLY in the cape. In my mind, Suzaku should always go commando!
StaysSweet: Zero and his hand movements. I'm almost surprised Suzaku and Kallen didn't figure out who Zero was sooner, what with the similarities between Lelouch's and Zero's outrageous hand actions.
