chapter tittle: so sleepy, Kururugi Suzaku

-

-

"Tell me, Kururugi… What do you fear most?" the figure in black cloak grin maniacally. The scythe raised high in the sky, so high that Suzaku could see the moonlight glinted its sharp side. And in less than a second, the scythe was swung at him…

-gasp-

Suzaku abruptly sat, his gasps sounds louder in the silent night. Drumming on his ears only confirmed how erratic his heartbeat was. Closing his eyes, the Japanese took a deep breath before collapsing against his bed again. The fact that the cloaking figure was nowhere within sight somehow calmed him.

He is definitely still in his bedroom, not graveyard like in his dream, and the most of all… he is alive.

A glance at nightstand told him that it won't be longer before dawn breaking. The green number blearing dully in the dark confinement. Suddenly, go back to sleep sounds appealing.

Perhaps, I could die for sure this time…

~*o~*o*~o*~

"It's normal occurrence for having nightmare as side effect. But if it disturb your sleep pattern, I could ask the doctor to change the receipt," said the ever-caring nurse.

"No, thanks," Suzaku glanced at her nametag, "Shirley. The dream is bearable." Suzaku managed a dazzling smile.

"Are you sure, Kururugi'san? There's dark line under your eyes."

Suzaku scowling inwardly that this particular nurse not affected at all by his smile. HIS SMILE. Okay, the bag under his eyes twisted his face a little but…BUT…

"I'm 100% sure," Suzaku smiled again more sincere this time. He has enough people to fuzz him about his health.

"Uh, okay. I'll take my leave then. Take care of yourself then, Kururugi'san," the nurse bowed politely before bouncing to the corridor on his left.

It was just routine check up considering his other problem. Now that he left with just insomnia, why he should bother with changed his medication. There's a high chance that the new medicine will cause more than insomnia.

Suzaku was about to walk away when he saw doctor that took care of him. His previous doctor was unavailable at long time, but still, Suzaku kinda surprised that his doctor was this young. It wasn't the young part that bothered Suzaku, it was the mischievous glint on her cerulean eyes that promising trouble.

"Milly," Suzaku greeted her with a nod.

"Suzaku," she return the courtesy, "I hear about your recent problem."

Eavesdropping you mean, Suzaku corrected mentally.

"It's nothing, really," Suzaku wonder why hospital as great as Ashford allow her to be one as main doctor. Oh, yeah, she is an Ashford too.

"But, what would my staff say if I left my patient leave with nothing but satisfaction? That would marred our pamour," the young doctor quickly pulled her notes and writing on that thing. "I'll change your med. I'll take your current and replace it with this one. It's a bit expensive but will do in long run."

Finished her speech as well as her writing, doctor Milly gave Suzaku his new receipt. Suzaku gave a nervous grin as Milly waved her hands and go to other direction. When she was out of hearing range, Suzaku let out a long sigh before drag his heavy body to pharmacy section.

Even though Milly warned him about the med will cost a bit expensive, he didn't know that it will be this expensive.

"100 dollar? Are you kidding me?!" he was exasperated. Though he was well paid at his work, but 100 dollar still a bit too much. This is no longer expensive, this is insane and cost him legs and arms.

"No, sir. For a month service, it was of fair price," the woman said.

That should ring a bell on Suzaku, the 'one month service'. However, he paid attention more to the price part than the service part. Grudgingly, the Japanese took his credit card and gave it to the cashier.

"Okay, everything should be ready by afternoon. He will come to your residence. Good day, Sir."

good, 100 dollar and the medication will be ready at afternoon. This fuckin' pill should better work or else I'll strangle that mad doctor.

So, that afternoon, Suzaku expected someone with decent clothing to deliver his medication. Okay, this guy wearing decent cloth, but minus the medication.

"What do you mean you didn't bring any?!" Suzaku was past his anger limit.

"Well, it should be clear on your prescription that instead of taking your usual medication, I was expected to take care of you. Don't worry, I have nursing license and at the top of my job," this man who introduced himself as Lelouch said with calm and confident aura.

"But I can take care of myself greatly, thank you." Suzaku gritted his teeth.

"Even you said so, you already pay for my service and it would be great waste if you send me home. I was expected to help you overcome your insomnia anyway."

"But I don't need fucking nurse to treat my insomnia," Suzaku was close to tearing his hair out.

"Quite the contrary, Sir," Lelouch smiled seductively made Suzaku shivering for a bit.

He was slurring.. HE's SLURRING!!!!

"You definitely need a reliable therapy to eliminate your insomnia, namely 'fucking the nurse'.." Lelouch press the confused Suzaku into the apartment before slam the door behind him.

Two weeks later

"Hi, Kururugi'san, I heard that doctor Milly changes your prescription. How does it work?" ask the same nurse as before, Shirley.

"Oh, it was great, just like doctor Milly said," the brunette gave her toothy grin.

"Great, nice to hear that. So, why are here now? I thought your session with doctor Milly was days ago.." the girl tilted her head.

This time, Suzaku's grin grew wider and his emerald eyes literally beaming, "I just accompanying my friend. He wanted to discharge from this hospital."

"Suzaku," a deep voice interrupted.

"Lelouch," Suzaku called him back with enthusiasm.

"Hi, Shirley," Lelouch greeted his female friend.

"Is it you that want to discharge?" she ask with that large unbelievable eyes. A bit morose could be beard clearly by passerby though the two males was oblivious to that.

"Yeah, Suzaku here offer me a better job," he glance at Suzaku who glance back, both eyeing each other meaningfully.

"Oh, congratulation then," the girl said dejectedly.

"Haha, sure. Thanks. Oh, btw, Shirley."

"Yes?"

"I heard that you're gonna be promoted as head nurse soon. Congratulation," Lelouch winked at her before leaving the blushing girl.

Suzaku was chuckling beside him, "I didn't know that you would take my offer."

"Why would I if I had a chance to be your private nurse?" the dark haired man gave amused smirk, "It was ridiculous that you reject me on that first day."

"Haha, sorry, I didn't know that you were that great," Suzaku leered.

"Oh, I'm fine. But I want to go to pet shop on our way home."

"Eh, do you want to buy pet?" Suzaku asked innocently.

"No, I already have one. And I wanted to buy collar for him," Lelouch smile suggestively.

~*~*o*~*~

I like it when Lelouch take care of his beloved.. and Suzaku was one of the lucky ones beside Nunnaly. So, what do you think? Review review ^.~
