Warnings: May Contain Strong Language

AU since obviously, Lelouch is not a famous singer and The Black Knights sure as hell aren't a rock band.

Well, it's come to my attention that some of you are worried about Lelouch giving in too easy. Let me reassure you. I have no intention of reuniting them anytime soon.

I apologize for taking forever on this. I wanted to finish a chapter for one of my other stories, and that ended up taking longer than I expected. Then school came along and successfully ruined my free time.

To Viviboo: I actually am a fan of K-Pop! :D What's your favorite band?

Nothing I say will change the fact that I've taken too long on this, so without further ado, here goes~

Lelouch could only stare after Kaguya as she fled from the door. He closed his eyes and tried to shove Suzaku away from him, but the brunette had secured his arms around his waist.

'What the hell is Suzaku thinking?' Lelouch inwardly seethed.

He considered bringing his heel down on Suzaku's foot, but the lack of strength on his part would prevent it from being effective. Lelouch didn't like it, but it seemed he'd have to give into Suzaku. At least momentarily until he figured something out.

Suzaku didn't waste the opportunity Lelouch gave him. He delved in deeper into the kiss. Loving the fact that Lulu was being responsive. His happiness was short lived however, when he felt a sharp pain. He quickly backed away from Lelouch and held his mouth.

"You bit me?" he asked incredulously, and looked up only to meet with Lelouch's furious violet orbs.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, Kururugi?" Lelouch hissed. He brought his arm up, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. The look of hatred never wavering from his eyes.

"but I thought you-," Suzaku wondered a loud in confusion.

"No!" Lelouch quickly cut him off angrily looking both annoyed and repulsed. As if the idea of kissing Suzaku greatly disturbed him.

"But I-,"

"How dare you!" Lelouch continued. His voice shook a bit from the anger he felt coursing through him.

The hostility in the air was almost tangible, even Suzaku could sense it. Unbeknown to Suzaku however, was the fact that some of the anger Lelouch held was directed towards himself.

'Get a hold of yourself, Lelouch,' he inwardly chided himself. He didn't think he'd have to stop and re-solidify his defenses, but he wasn't expecting Suzaku to lunge at him either.

His heart was still racing from the close proximity. He'd unconsciously allowed himself to briefly enjoy being with Suzaku, but it was something he couldn't afford. Luckily images of the brunette and his dear beloved sister soon remedied that problem. The mere thought of the Suzaku and Euphemia together left a bitter taste in his mouth. Suzaku's presence was a constant reminder of that day. He just needed to focus on that.

"Idiot!" Lelouch cursed, his glare still set on Suzaku. "I despise infidelity! Have you forgotten about my girlfriend? I don't know if you've forgotten, but I'm not the type to cheat," he spit the last bit out with a tinge of sarcasm.

Suzaku's eyes widened a bit, as if suddenly realizing the significance infidelity played in their break-up.

'Shit!' Suzaku inwardly cursed. 'Maybe I should have thought this over a little more...'

Lulu straightened himself out and regarded the green eyed brunette coolly.

"This," the raven haired male started and motioned his hand around them. "...thing, never happened. I don't want C.C. finding out. Despite it not being my fault, the implications won't bode well."

Suzaku felt the uncomfortable jab of jealousy flare up inside him at the mention of the green haired woman.

"What exactly is she to you?" Suzaku asked bluntly. He stared into Lelouch's violet orbs curiously, however, the raven haired boy didn't miss the slight annoyance in the other male's voice.

He quirked an elegant dark eyebrow at the brunette and responded just as simply. "She's my girlfriend, Kururugi."

Suzaku frowned at the use of his last name. It wasn't like Lelouch to refer to him so distantly.

"Girlfriend?" Suzaku murmured quietly, his brows furrowed. He didn't quite believe it to be the truth. "I thought you were-" Suzaku paused momentarily, wondering if he should even attempt to finish that sentence.

"Gay?" Lelouch supplied with mild curiosity. He chuckled lightly, and shook his head.

Suzaku couldn't help but smile at the small notion. The sound of Lelouch's laughter was something he greatly missed.

"Why would I allow something as trivial as gender to get in the way of my affections? I'm bisexual, Kururugi. Just because I have a preference for men doesn't mean I don't like women."

And with that statement, Suzaku's short illusion was shattered. He couldn't understand why Lulu had taken up calling him by his last name, but it didn't sound right.

"Let me be honest with you, Kururugi. I'll tolerate you if I absolutely have to, but I won't stand for it if you ruin my relationship with C.C.," Lelouch bore a solemn expression. "She means a lot to me. I don't know what you think of me, and frankly I don't really give a damn, but please don't screw this up for me. I think you owe me at least this much," he finished sharply, and glared at the brunette.

He amazed himself. As ridiculous as it sounds, if he were anyone else he'd probably believe C.C. to actually be his girlfriend. He found the thought alarming, but it's times like these when Lelouch found himself truly grateful for the fake relationship he was forced into. His personal relationship to C.C. provided a reason to keep Suzaku at bay, and for the time being it was helping him cope with the sudden intrusion into his life.

'Does he still believe what Euphie told him?' Lelouch briefly wondered, however that train of thought was leaving nothing but bitterness in its wake, so he quickly brushed those thoughts aside. It's not something that mattered at the moment.

"I'm sorry," Suzaku apologized.

"Then save me some grief and pretend this never happened," Lelouch quickly answered. "It doesn't mean anything, so I'd like it if C.C. never found out." The true reason behind it being that the witch was already too curious about Suzaku. The less she knew about Lulu's personal life the better. He didn't want her going around digging things up about him that were none of her concern.

Suzaku frowned at that. He wasn't sorry for what he did a few moments ago. He meant it. No, what he was apologizing for was the rift in their relationship. If only he could mend it...

"Why do you care so much about her, Lulu? Out of everyone out there, why did it have to be C.C.?" Suzaku asked. She was pretty, he'd give her that much, but she wasn't exactly the kind of girl someone would date.

"Why did it have to be Euphemia?" Lelouch quickly countered. He scowled, marring his normally handsome features, and looked away towards the somewhat still open door.

"I...uh..." Suzaku sputtered foolishly. He wasn't sure any kind of wording would make the situation any better. Lelouch was digging up their past, and all he'd done back then was make stupid mistakes.

"You knew she was my sister, and yet you slept with her anyway," Lelouch hissed lowly. That simple memory lived on in his mind like a filthy parasite. It overshadowed most of the good times he'd had in Britannia. "Do you have any idea what I went through?"

Suzaku couldn't answer. He knew anything he said at this point would only serve to further aggravate Lelouch, and he didn't want to upset him anymore than he already had. The best he could do is listen, and see if he could console him somehow.

"You made a fool of me," Lelouch continued. His voice was still laced with anger. He felt sadness building up inside him from the train of thought he was going down, but he quickly forced it back. Dealing with Suzaku was frustrating.

Suzaku wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the right words.

"I was too trusting of you, and look where that got me," Lulu cast his gaze to the floor. "Is there...?" he hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

'Geez, get a hold of yourself, Lulu!' he quietly reprimanded himself, and did his best to steel his nerves.

"Lulu, I-"

"Forget it. My free time is limited as it is. I don't need to waste what little I have on someone like you."

Suzaku couldn't help the hurt that crawled its way inside of him.

'Does Lelouch really mean that?' he had to wonder although it was depressing to think of the answer to that question.

"Lelouch, I'm trying my best to fix things," he spoke sincerely although he found himself strangely nervous all of a sudden.

"Fix things?" Lelouch asked incredulously. "How can you possibly fix something like this?" he murmured offhandedly.

Lelouch found himself liking the look of hurt on Suzaku's face. He kind of wished it would stay there permanently.

"Tell me then, Kururugi. What would you do if you were in my position?"

"In your position?" Suzaku asked apprehensively. He looked warily at the dark haired male as he strolled up to the desk in the room and leaned against it.

"Yes. If it were the other way around and I were the one who cheated on you," Lulu paused, letting his question sink in. "Would you take me back?"

Suzaku's eyes widened in shock, and for a moment he was rendered completely speechless.

"I...well I," Suzaku's brows were furrowed in confusion.

'Why would Lelouch propose such a question?' he wondered. He paused for a moment, and came up with an answer.

"I would," he finally stated, after a few minutes.

Lelouch looked unimpressed. "You're a fucking hypocrite. At the first flimsy case of infidelity, you were ready to condemn me. How dare you say you'd take me back." His violet eyes glared fiercely at Suzaku, and his fists were clenched tightly at his side.

Suzaku frowned. It was true, but being apart from Lulu for so long did help him formulate his answer...he'd never even thought about leaving him though. The thought of being left by Lulu was even further from his mind. He somewhat expected to pick up where they left off. He figured Lelouch just needed time to forgive him.

"Can't you give me a second chance? I made a mistake, but-"

"No. But nothing. How the hell can you ask for a second chance after what you did to me? How will I know you won't do it again? As stupid as it may sound, I gave you everything I had. I gave you everything, and it wasn't enough. In the end I wasn't enough," Lulu scoffed and shook his head. "I can't believe it took me so long to realize it."

"I love you, Lelouch," Suzaku said earnestly, hoping to ease Lelouch's mood a little.

Lelouch couldn't help but laugh at that. A wicked smile spread across his lips, and his eyes bore into Suzaku's, unforgiving. "If only that meant something."

Suzaku's frown deepened. He felt like Lulu was slipping away again. "We're...Lulu I mean it." he looked towards the dark haired teen, noticing the look of utter vexation on his face.

"I'd refrain from using that nickname, Kururugi. It's reserved for people I actually know."

"..but, I do know you."

"Are you sure about that?" Lelouch asked challengingly. He was looking away from Suzaku, as if bored with their conversation. Had the circumstances been different, Suzaku would swear the strange tone he'd picked up on Lulu's voice was amusement.

Without waiting for a reply, Lelouch stood and made his way to the door.

"Wait!" Suzaku yelled after him, and rushed over to his side. He quickly grabbed Lelouch's arm and pulled him back.

"What?" Lelouch snapped coolly. He'd had enough of Suzaku for the day.

"Can you please reconsider giving me a second chance?" Lelouch didn't miss the hopefulness that came into Suzaku's voice.

'As if he has a chance,' Lelouch internally sneered.

"Maybe if I thought you had anything to offer. I honestly can't remember why I even went out with you in the first place. You're not even interesting. Your personality is tiresome, you lack intelligence," he gave the other man a once over, "and your looks are average at best." With that said, he promptly yanked his arm away from Suzaku's hold, and finished making his way out of the room, but not before catching the devastated look on the brunette's face. His emerald green eyes were dulled with sadness and filled with hurt.

Lelouch was satisfied with the look. Sure he lied a bit to Suzaku, but it's not like the moron didn't have it coming. It seems like he'd managed to stab him with his words, and it felt pretty damn nice. He also felt a twinge of something else starting to build up inside him, but he quickly dispelled those thoughts. He had no time for remorse. He was going to ruin Suzaku, and hopefully finish getting over him in the process. Hell, by the end of it all Suzaku might end up hating him as well.

He closed the door to the study behind him and proceeded to walk back down the hall they'd came from. The other guests were still mingling, and he was glad no one was nearby. It may have been awkward if anyone passed by and saw anything...

"Shit!" he hissed, suddenly remembering how they'd ended up in that room in the first place. "Kaguya was there! How much did she hear?" The encounter with Suzaku left him stupefied it seemed.

Lelouch made his way around the large house quickly. He scanned the faces around him as he passed, but he couldn't see any sings of the small ebony haired girl anywhere. After a few minutes of searching he finally found her sitting alone outside in the grass. He didn't waste any time. He made his way over the backyard's glass door and slid it open. The cool air brushing past him made him momentarily hesitate.

It suddenly dawned on him that he hadn't really thought of what to say. She could have seen a number of things. Had she left when he saw her go, or had she stuck around? He looked up to see Kaguya had yet to notice his presence. He sighed and walked over to her side. Was she upset? Kaguya didn't seem like her usual bubbly self.

He dropped down beside her, and regarded her curiously. She seemed to be deep in thought. Judging by the way she unconsciously shivered, Lelouch figured she'd been out there for a while. He slung his arm around her shoulders, making her jump slightly in surprise.

"Z-Zero-sama?" she cried in shock. Her eyes were wide, and she had a slight blush across her cheeks.

Lelouch laughed, and smiled at the cute expression on her face. "You look cute when you blush," he murmured, and looked off to the side.

Kaguya caught his statement however, and blushed even harder. She couldn't believe Zero was holding her and sitting in the cold beside her. It was almost like a dream, but she couldn't let herself get carried away. She needed to know what her cousin was to Zero. Did Suzaku know him?

"Zero-sama," she started, but wasn't sure if she was even in a position to ask him such a thing. It was personal after all...

"Hmm?" Lelouch hummed and turned to her. He caught the sad expression on her face, and rubbed his hand on her arm to help stave off the cold. "How long have you been out here? You must be freezing...do you want to borrow my jacket?"

"N-no that's alright!" she quickly answered. She didn't want to impose on his kindness. She liked the warmth of having him so close, but she couldn't be delusional. He didn't feel anything for her. At least not yet...

She quickly shook her head. She couldn't have those thoughts. He's with C.C., and besides her cousin and Lelouch were something too right? Those thoughts made her frown, but she couldn't deny it. The way Suzaku held Lelouch to him...it seemed like he really was in love with him. Suzaku's not one to fall at first sight, though.

'Have they met before?' she silently asked.

"Are you having an affair?" she quickly blurted out. As soon as she realized she mentioned it out loud, she gasped and covered her mouth, squeezing her eyes shut in the process. She didn't want to see his expression. Once up in the air, the question sounded absurd, even to herself.

'Of course they can't know each other, Kaguya!' she mentally scolded herself. 'When would they have met?'

Lelouch was shocked by her sudden outburst. It didn't take a genius to figure out where her trail of thought had been either.

'So she did see us...' Lelouch silently mused.

"Kaguya," Lelouch answered seriously. With his free hand he reached over and gently grasped her chin, moving it to face towards him. "I would never cheat on C.C."

She timidly opened her eyes. "I'm sorry," she mumbled quietly.

"Why would you ask such a thing?" Lelouch questioned, feigning ignorance. He knew very well why she mentioned it, but he didn't want her getting any more ideas.

"Earlier I-I saw you and Suzaku. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but are you two...?" she frowned again not knowing how to ask without seeming intrusive.

"Suzaku?" Lelouch asked curiously, making sure to act like he didn't know the brunette.

"My cousin," she reaffirmed, noting the confusion in her idol's eyes.

"Oh, him," Lelouch spoke nonchalantly. "He's a," Lelouch briefly paused, "fanboy."

"You two aren't anything?" Kaguya questioned. "I saw him confess earlier."

"Don't take that to heart, Kaguya," Lulu replied offhandedly. " I don't know him. Your cousin's just a fan. I get confessions from fans all the time. I just wish he'd kept his hands to himself..." Lelouch trailed off coldly.

"Ah! He forced the kiss on you?" she cried incredulously, remembering the kiss she'd seen earlier. "I'm really sorry about his behavior. I didn't know he was going to be this way. I wouldn't have left you alone with him if I'd known."

"It's alright," Lelouch spoke softly. Her sudden change in mood wasn't hard to miss. She was happy that Suzaku wasn't anything to him. "It's not your fault. I took care of it already."

"I-" Kaguya was interrupted by the sudden ringing.

Lelouch sighed and removed his arm from Kaguya's shoulders so he could pull out his phone. He silently flipped it open, and held it to his ear.

"Hello?" he asked the person on the other line, and held his free hand up to pause Kaguya.

"Lelouch, I know you're out somewhere, but can you come pick us up?" he heard Kallen's voice from the other end of the line.

"Pick you up? Why?"

Kaguya intently listened to what Lelouch was saying. She couldn't hear the person on the other line, but Lelouch seemed to recognize them. She didn't mind the phone call though. Lelouch was undoubtedly busy. She was just glad he managed to come. Although now she wasn't as glad. Suzaku was her relative and he didn't leave a very good impression. She didn't even understand what he was thinking, but she was relieved it turned out to be nothing. She didn't want to give up on Lelouch just because her cousin decided he wanted him too.

"Let's just say we got kicked out for being too loud," Kallen answered back tiredly.

"What?" Lelouch asked surprised. Normally he'd scold Kallen, and demand a better explanation, but he didn't want to overwhelm Kaguya. He had an image to uphold.

"Can you just come?" Kallen hissed impatiently. Lelouch could hear C.C. whining in the background.

"Why don't you call Ohgi?"

"Don't you think I tried asking him already? He wasn't happy. He told us to walk back."

"Why don't you call a cab?" Lelouch continued his line of questioning.

"C.C. spent all the cash we brought with us," Kallen sighed. "We weren't planning on staying out too long."

"Alright fine." Lelouch snapped his phone shut, and turned back to Kaguya. "I'm sorry, but the others need me to go get them." The phone rang again and Lelouch ignored it, not wanting to deal with his friends again.

"Oh, that's okay."

"I'm sorry to have to leave so early. We didn't really get to spend a lot of time together."

"It's alright," Kaguya answered softly, and smiled shyly.

"And about what happened earlier..." Lelouch trailed off, wondering if she'd get the gist of what he meant.

"Don't worry. I won't tell a soul," she chirped gleefully.

"Thanks," he answered relieved. The last thing he wanted is bad media representation to erupt from a misunderstanding. He turned and headed out. However, the incessant ringing was driving him mad. He decided enough was enough when he finally reached his car and pulled out his phone.

"What?" he yelled angrily. Lelouch paused wearily when he heard soft laughter from the other end of the line.

"Now is that any way to answer your phone, Lulu?" a familiar voice spoke from the other end.

"Rai?" Lelouch wondered aloud.
