Alrighty then, I think I've finally got this thing figured out. And now, I'm seriously getting back to the plot. But, I also promised myself I'd make a SuzaxEuphie spinoff when I'm done with this. There just aren't enough happy SuzaxEuphie fanfics out there.

And as an answer to a reviewer, I have thought about who Nunnally and Rolo will end up with. I've sort of decided who Rolo will end up with, if I can fit it in here, but it's kind of a crack pairing. As for Nunnally. . . not sure if I have anyone in mind for her yet. And if I can find a place for Kallen, then she'll be there!

Anyway, enjoy!

Rolo sat on his bed, fingering his arrow. He was feeling a little out of place. Before, in the village, Rolo knew he belonged with his brother and sister. But now, he wasn't so sure. Rolo eyed his closet that led to V.V..

"The bond between brothers is sacred."

He remembered the words V.V. spoke. Rolo was really missing the attention he used to get from Lelouch.

"It's all because of C.C.. If she wasn't here, brother wouldn't be spending so much time with her. She. . . she's not supposed to be with us. She doesn't belong with us."

He looked back at his closet, before walking toward it. Rolo walked into his closet his conscience battling with him on what he was about to do. He shoved that feeling down, he was sure about what he wanted. His eyes narrowed.

"It must be done."

"Suzaku, stop fantasizing about Euphie for a moment and listen to me!", Lelouch scolded.

"Huh? I-I wasn't fantasizing!", Suzaku denied.

Both boys were 'relaxing' in the garden. The guards that were near were out of earshot.

"Anyway, you said you had to escape from your mother today?", Suzaku asked.

"Yeah. She came to me, talking about marriage."

"Marriage?", Suzaku's mind immediately drifted off to a certain pink-haired princess. He awoke from his daydream when Lelouch snapped his fingers in his face.

"Could you focus for a bit? I know all the blood has left your head in favor of another place, but this is important."

Suzaku's face reddened at what his friend was implying. "W-well, what is it?"

"I have finalized the plans. It ends tonight. I found the blueprints to this palace in the library. There's an underground chamber that could possibly contain prisoners. The goal is to retrieve Mary, and finally get some answers."

"Alright, have you told Nunnally and Rolo?", Suzaku asked.

"No yet. I haven't even seen them yet."

Suzaku shook his head. "You should spend some time with them today. Nunnally and Rolo are used to being the center of your attention. You should be more attentive", Suzaku said wagging his finer disapprovingly.

"I should be more attentive?", Lelouch raised his eyebrow.

"Ahehehehe", Suzaku laughed nervously. "I've gotta go. I haven't seen Euphie yet today."

"Don't do anything stupid."

"When do I ever?"

"One word. . . fish."

"That wasn't my fault. You and Kaguya have issues! It was even worse when Tohdoh had to take it out and Kaguya had a misunderstanding."

"Whatever, go find your princess", Lelouch said.

Nunnally left her room, finally finding the nerve to venture out. She felt really embarassed about what she heard last night. Suzaku was like a brother to her. Hearing such things was as if hearing Lelouch or Rolo.

"I have to calm down. Suzaku and Euphie are bound to do. . . things like that!"

The young princess wasn't as innocent has her older brother would've liked to believe. She was no stranger to intimacy, so she felt like she shouldn't have been listening to Euphie and Suzaku's little moment.

"They don't know that I heard them. I just need to forget what happened. If I think about them too much my visions might start becoming inappropriate", Nunnally told herself.

She walked down a hallway and saw Suzaku turn the corner. He saw her and waved. "Morning Nunnally."

"M-morning. Um, have you seen my mother?"

"Sorry, no-"

"That's okay!", Nunnally blurted out and ran past him.

Suzaku watched leaved, confused. He quickly dismissed that and continued to Euphie's room. When he knocked on it, he heard her call, "Come in!"

The brunette entered and closed the door on his way in. He turned back to greet Euphie with a good morning, but the sight he met made his jaw drop.

"Um, do you like it?", Euphie asked.

Suzaku's mouth remained open in shock. Euphie wore white nightgown that ended mid-thigh. The further down it went it turned from white to transparent. Euphie looked at him innocently.

"What's wrong? You're drooling."

Suzaku caught himself and closed his mouth. He felt something trickle down from his nose. Euphie ran up to him with a worried look.

"Suzaku, your nose is bleeding!"

"Gaha?", was the only coherent thing he could say. He closed his eyes and his mind started working again. Suzaku turned away from Euphie and faced the door. "I'm fine. Just feeling a little light headed."

He felt Euphie's soft hands on his face, turning him around. Seeing her made his brain stop again. She had a light blush and avoided Suzaku's eyes.

"Um, I wore this, just to see how you would react. Well?"

Suzaku pulled her close and kissed her, savoring her taste. The fabric of the gown felt sensuous against his hand, but he had a feeling that her skin was better. He broke away to take a breath. His blood was already leaving his brain, no need to drain it of oxygen as well. He rested his forehead against hers.

"Euphie, do you have any idea what you do to me?"

"Hmm?"

He ran his fingers through her hair and smiled. "I can't get enough of you. But, I want to do this right."

"What do you mean by that?", she asked.

"I'd like to explain, but if we stay like this any longer I can't be held responsible for my actions."

"Your actions?"

"I'm sure you've noticed it by now", Suzaku said thinking of a certain body part.

Euphie giggled. "Actually, I noticed it as soon as you came in."

"You really do confound me Euphie. You make me a pervert and a gentleman at the same time."

"Well which are you right now?"

"When you're wearing this", Suzaku ran his hand down the fabric, at the same time the curve of her waist, "it's really hard for me to decide."

They were startled by a knock on the door. "Euphie, I know you're busy seducing Suzaku, but I need him for a moment", Lelouch said from the other side.

Suzaku looked back at Euphie. "I'll be back." He gave her was supposed to be a quick peck went even further and a few minutes later Lelouch was knocking on the door again.

"Don't make me come in there. Please don't."

Suzaku released Euphie and went out the door. "So, what is it?"

Lelouch started walking and Suzaku followed. "I can't find Rolo."

Up next: What happened to Rolo? Will they be able to save Mary?

I know it's short, but I just wanted to update!
