Friday,

Kanon watched helplessly as the taxi cab he was riding in drove closer to Jun's house. What was he going to tell him? "Guess what Jun? I'm having your child!"

He shook his light auburn hair to clear his thoughts. But really; what was he going to do? Clearly, he didn't really want to live with Jun for the rest of his life because the fact that he is pregnant with his child. No! He wouldn't let that happen. Think Kanon!

A thought dawned to Kanon. He didn't have to tell Jun that he was pregnant, just say that he's have some sort of… No Jun would figure out that he was lying… Could he run away? Where would he go? A hotel…no more likely model… Just say that we're breaking up…

"This is the house right?" The taxi driver rotated to face Kanon after he parked the yellow car.

Kanon nodded, "Yes."

"Have a good one." The man said, clearing his throat.

"Here's-"

The man shook his head while blocking Kanon's hand full of money with his own hand. "I can tell by your constant scowling on the ride here that you're in a mess that just got bigger, so please you don't have to pay me."

Auburn eyebrows rose to the middle of Kanon's forehead, "Okay…But-"

"Please, just leave before I change my mind."

"Okay." Kanon felt that this man's decision was obscure. It wasn't clear why this man wanted to do something nice to complete stranger. But then again there were people in the world that did like being nice to others for the hick of it, BUT there is always a result to ones action.

What goes around comes around… Kanon thought. It was the way karma was. If a person was to be nice to someone, then something good would happen to the person, and if a person did something bad to another person, or another living thing, then something bad would happen. So, if Kanon went threw with this and broke Jun's heart something bad would happen?

NO! Kanon was already being nice by saying yes to Jun in the first place, but why was Kanon feeling so worried? He wasn't someone who usually worried about karma, and lying to Jun made him feel like he was lying to the whole world. If he went threw with lying, then something really bad was going to happen…

"Then I won't lie…" Kanon whispered. I won't lie, because I won't tell him. Kanon grinned, "Because I'm breaking up with him before he ever finds out."

He quickened his pace to the house, not wanting to waist any time he had to spare. With some luck Jun wouldn't be home for another half hour or so. (It's about three o'clock.) Once he was inside he paused for a second to make sure that his soon-to-be ex didn't arrive home early. After a deep breathe Kanon swiftly walked up the stairs and into the only bedroom that Jun and he shared.

The room wasn't all that big, when the bed took almost half the room. Also the two dressers didn't help ether, when they were half the size of the bed. Somehow Jun had arranged the furniture perfectly so there was just enough room for Jun and him to walk around without bumping into each other.

Grabbing one of his partially packed suitcases, he began to throw more clothes and his bathroom utensils in it. It didn't take long before he had most of his clothes out of his dresser, (plus most of the articles of clothing were already in the suitcase) and had all of his other belongs in a separate bag.

He sat down for a minute and sighed. Where was he going to go anyway? Pinching the bridge of his nose he mentally kicked himself. Why did his old apartment have to sell so fast? He would have a safe known place to stay at right off the bat…! Unconsciously he grabbed the phone next to the bed and started to dial.

"Hello?" A male's voice asked.

Crap! Who is this?

"Um is Milly home?"

"Yes she is," the voice stood quiet for a moment and then he said, "Milly there's some guy asking for you."

"Did you even ask who it was?" He heard her snap at the male. "God Lloyd why did my parents have to choose you of all people…?"

"Milly?" Kanon asked loudly, hopping that the two people on the other line would hear him.

"Give me that!" There was a sound of muffled silence, but then he heard Milly clear her voice "Hello?"

"This is Kanon." He stated first, "I need to ask you an important favor."

"Ah! What's wrong Kanon, did something happen?"

Kanon pictured his boss covering her mouth astounded by his sounded phone call. "Please don't tell Jun, or anyone else."

"Okay."

"I'm pregnant, and I need to find a place to stay for a while!" He blurted out.

"You're…! Oh my God what happened, Kanon? Is Jun mad at you…but wait he doesn't know because…"

Silence swept over Milly.

"That's why I called you." He sighed, "I don't want Jun to find out because I don't love him. I don't want to have to deal with him for the rest of my life because I'm pregnant with his child."

"Milly you should answer him."

"Do you have this on speaker or something?"

"Sure… Yes, I'll go get you." She decided.

"Milly you know you can't do that right now-"

"Shut up Lloyd! Sorry about that Kanon." Milly apologized quickly. "Someone will come and pick you up soon, so sit tight."

"Thank you Milly."

"You're welco- God Lloyd! I told you to stop it!-"

The phone rang continually on the other end of the line. What was that all about? And who's Lloyd? He shrugged with a composed expression, but it soon turned into a worried one when he looked at the time. It was already three fifteen! Crap he's going to be here in fifteen minutes!

Quickly grabbing his suit case and a smaller bag he dragged the cargo down the stairs and into the living room. There, he paused to look at the time. Still fifteen minutes left…okay now fourteen minutes…

I hope whoever is picking me up comes before Jun comes…

A cruel thought entered his head. What if Jun comes home the same time the person comes to pick up Kanon? Surly Jun would pick a fight with whoever was going to pick up Kanon and fight for him back…and Kanon really didn't want that to happen…

A knock startled Kanon out of his thoughts. Where did the knock come from?

"The door!" The auburn ran to the door and swung it open.

A man, probably a little older than him stood there, startled, his hand was ready to knock on the door again. The man's semi purple eyes were slightly hidden by his golden locks, and his round face was framed nicely well kept hair.

"Do you know Milly?" Kanon was surprised he could speck.

"You must be Kanon Maldini." He let his hand drop to his side. "I'm Schneizel El-"

"You can introduce yourself when I get my suit case… Sorry!" Kanon ran back into the house to grab his suit care and the smaller bag. When he returned to the door he heard Jun's voice?

"Do I know you?" Kanon heard Jun ask.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Schneizel asked; his voice had a hint of confusion in it.

"I live in this house." Jun snarled, "Why is the door open anyway?"

"Clearly Milly hasn't told me the true details." He heard Schneizel chuckle to himself. "Jeremiah can you go and help Kanon get his bags?"

"Wait what about Kanon and bags?!"

"Clearly you don't understand what's going on." Schneizel chuckled again. "Apparently Kanon doesn't love you anymore and he wants to move out as soon as possible."

Jun snarled, "That makes no sense!"

"Is this everything?"

Kanon flinched back. "Yes." He gasped a little, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

The man just laughed, "I'm Jeremiah Gottwald, and I don't mind your reaction." His hand grazed gentle over the gold like wing over his left eye. "Do you want me to take your suit case?"

"No I'm fine." Kanon insisted.

"Really? Are you sure, because I didn't know a woman like yourself would want to do things herself since you called Milly to get out of a miss like this and-"

"I'm not a woman." The auburn snarled. "Can't you tell by my chest that I'm not a female? And I thought I heard Schneizel say, 'Jeremiah can you go and help Kanon get his bags?'."

Jeremiah raised his hands defensively, "Sorry that I don't usually stare at people's chests."

"Sorry…" Kanon pinched the bridge of his nose, "I've been a little moody lately."

"For any particular reason?"

"It's a long story. Maybe I'll tell you about it later." He pushed the smaller bag to Jeremiah. "Here, you can carry this if you want too."

Jeremiah sighed, "We better get going before your boy- ex boyfriend tries to pick a fist fight with Schneizel." He was about to turn away, but he decided to add, "And yes, Schneizel would win." He turned around with a smirk.

Pale pink skin blushed bright red, and his heart began to race. Was he turned on by a smirk? But it wasn't just any smirk it was an ostentatious one. It made him look attractive and charming, and outmost appealing. His smirk wasn't taunting or mocking, but showed off those luminous, liquid gold eyes.

"Kanon is this true?" Jun demanded, after letting go of Schneizel's gold trimmed jacket (Kanon hadn't realized he had followed Jeremiah out the door.) "What did I do wrong? Please tell me."

You made me pregnant…okay it's partly my fault too, but still! I don't love you and I don't want you to ever find out I was pregnant with your child!

"I'm sorry Jun, but I made the wrong decision when I said I wanted to move it with-"

"I don't understand!" Jun blurted out. "I know you were having a hard time answering my question, but I didn't know it was because you didn't love me."

Jun glared at Jeremiah when he snorted.

"I never said I didn't love you." Kanon retorted, "I love you Jun, but you're not the person I want to be with for the rest of my life. You were better off just being my friend."

Kanon's statement made Jun growl hostilely at him, "Then what was the point for you to move in with me?" He hissed, "You treat everything like road blocks, so tell me Kanon: what was it this time? The bed wasn't big enough for you? My job? Your health? Tell me!"

Kanon's eyes became tiny cat like slits. "No Jun the bed was perfectly big enough and your job is fine, and my heath is fine, so if you want to know the road block then figure it out on your own. It isn't that hard to come up with." He snarled.

Again, Jun glared at Jeremiah when he snorted.

"Guess for me Jun." The auburn said, taunting his ex boyfriend.

Jun crossed his arms, "I don't know…"

Kanon chuckled, "You are the road block Jun!"

"Is there a different reason why you dumped Jun?" Kanon flinched back when he noticed how close Jeremiah was to him.

He blinked for a second, "No, why?"

Jeremiah shrugged his broad shoulders, "It was the way you looked at him. You sounded angry, but you looked guilty." Again he shrugged, "But then again it's just my opinion."

Schneizel chuckled, "I think Jeremiah's right. There is a different reason, and Milly didn't tell me when she asked me to pick you up." (Note: Some else is driving. There are seats behind the driver and the passenger. That's where Schneizel and Jeremiah are sitting.)

"Oh I'm sorry," Kanon blurted out suddenly, "You were introducing yourself and I interrupted you."

Jeremiah raised an eyebrow, while Schneizel just let out a faint chuckle of amusement. "If you tell me your true reason why you broke up with Jun, then I'll tell you my full name."

Kanon crossed his arms, "The answer would be the same." He said musingly, "It wouldn't be a fair deal."

Schneizel let a single eyebrow rise, "Oh really?"

"Yes really." The auburn couldn't help but keep his eyes low. He wasn't a very good lair to begin with, so why let his eyes tell Schneizel and Jeremiah the truth.

The blonds' long fingers intertwined with each other as he couldn't help himself but to grin at the man in front of him, "The way Milly asked me sounded like something bad happened. I guess to the point that Jun would be a permanent boyfriend to you. Of course you didn't want that to happen." His grin became bigger when he saw the other flinch.

"Milly's voice made you come up with that?" He said in a shaky voice.

Jeremiah's chuckles were like firecrackers on the fourth of July. "You clearly don't know who Schneizel is." His eyes glowed with amusement. "You've heard of the Britannia Company, right?"

"How could I not see it?" Kanon asked bitterly, "You're Schneizel El Britannia, the-"

White gloved fingers grasped his pale chin.

"You are an interesting one Kanon Maldini, but you should watch that lovely little mouth of yours." He half threatened with gleaming eyes, "Because you might find yourself in a discomfited poison."

"You're right about making me confused and uneasy." Kanon breathed out surprisingly.

Schneizel tightened his hold on the younger man's chin. "But I'm talking about the other meaning of that word, my dear." He let go gentle, to fold his arms across his chest.

He's trying to embarrass me?

"You are beautiful," Schneizel added out loud, "I would understand why Jun would be furious about loosing you." Of course Jun will be enraged when he finds out that Kanon will be mine soon.

Kanon sat impatiently while Milly and Schneizel talked in the other room. (He found himself a comfortable seat at the kitchen table.) He had found out that Lloyd, the man he heard over the phone, worked under Schneizel. Of course when Kanon found this out he couldn't help but assume that it was Lloyd who had asked the favor.

"What are you thinking about?" Jeremiah asked, leaning against the kitchen counter.

Kanon shock his head, "Nothing important."

Jeremiah snorted, "Are you sure?"

"You know," Kanon began, coping Jeremiah by snorting, "Do you serve Schneizel or something?"

Jeremiah wasn't surprised by Kanon's question. "I'm a body guard for any of the members of the Britannia family." He walked casually over to Kanon, and sat down in one of the three unoccupied chairs. "I don't work under Schneizel, but I happened to be assigned to him today."

"It doesn't seem like Schneizel is the type of person who needs protecting." Kanon said, "Why does he need protecting anyway?"

"I guess you wouldn't know about it." He shrugged, "It doesn't matter."

Kanon eyebrows moved to the middle of his forehead, "It sounds like something important." He said rather huskily, "Why won't you tell me?"

"Because," he said with an unfamiliar, taunting smile. "You won't tell me the real reason why you broke up with Jun."

"Back on that again?" The auburn groaned as he lowered his head, so it would collide with the table.

"You make it sound like it's a paradox."

"It might sound like it to you." Kanon replied bitterly. "So 'it doesn't matter'."

"Touché."

"So why did Lloyd ask Schneizel to pick me up?"

"You assume that Lloyd asked because he works under him, right?"

Kanon nodded.

"Actually Milly asked, and I don't know why she wanted him to pick you up. I guess he wanted to meet you, maybe." He leaned against his hand. "He's right you know; you are beautiful. It's a shame that Jun lost you for what ever reason that made you want leave him."

"Thanks…" Kanon blushed deeply, "Wait! ..." He shot up from his chair, while Jeremiah leaned back startled. "Schneizel isn't going to be the one who buys off The Rouge, right? He wouldn't dare too…"

"Relax Kanon before you give yourself a heart attack." Milly said, giving Kanon a worried glance.

"The Rouge does not need to be bought by your bastard ass company!" Kanon growled at Schneizel.

"See, this is why the Britannia family has body guards." Jeremiah stood up quickly to grab Kanon's arm. "Not everyone likes them, and I'm guessing you're not a fan ether."

"What made you guess?" He growled.

"Is he always hotheaded like this?" Schneizel asked Milly, sounding rather disappointed. "It's a shame really." He snatched Kanon's chin for the second time that day, "I didn't know the most knowledgably waiter of The Rouge will have to be the one I have to force to submit to me."

"I don't have to submit to you!" The auburn lashed back, "You're not the boss of-"

"Yes he is, Kanon." Milly interrupted swiftly, "It's no longer my choice to be the owner of The Rouge anymore."

"You can't fire her! She's the reason why The Rouge is the way it is…" Tears began to roll out of the hormone controlled man, "You can't!"

Jeremiah loosened his grip on Kanon's arm.

"Please…Don't fire her…"

Schneizel raised the younger man's chin, "If you say it that way, how couldn't I say no?"

He perked up idiomatically, "Really?"

"Only on one condition though." He leaned forward to kiss the tears on Kanon's place check, "If you let me take you to dinner tomorrow night."

Saturday,

"I can't believe Schneizel asked you to dinner," Milly said more to herself then to Kanon, "Just so I can keep my job."

"I can't believe I was so emotional! Is it because I'm pregnant?" Kanon asked, poking at the eggs in front of him.

Milly didn't answer him. Is she ignoring me? Kanon thought.

"It must suck to be a woman." Kanon added, "Because of all these hormones!"

"Don't worry about it," Milly suddenly pointed her spatula towards him. "It's normal."

"For woman to be crazy?"

"No, being emotional and filled with hormones." She waved the spatula back and forth.

"I just hope he doesn't expect a pleasant evening of alcohol and sex." He sighed pushing the plate away from him.

"All you have to worry about is the alcohol; sex won't kill or forever traumatized your baby." Se used the spatula to push his plate toward him. "The baby needs food to survive."

"Well the mother just wants to drink a glass of orange juice before he starts to freak out on what he's going to wear to his date."

"Oh that reminds me," She grabbed a cup from a shelf, "Jeremiah said he was going to stop by today…"

"How is this relevant?"

"He said he has to deliver something to you from Schneizel."

"Oh…"

"Well you please eat the eggs for me?"

"Fine…"

"Good." She smiled weakly at him, before she turned to the fridge. "Because you're going to need all the energy you can get…"

"He sent me a dress?"

Jeremiah had to cover his mouth to keep from bursting out laughing.

"Oh cute, it matches you eyes." Milly took the blue cloth and raised it to Kanon's eye level. "It's so beautiful and…is that what I think I'm seeing?" Her eyes darted back at the box to grab the reddish material.

"Put that down!" Kanon begged.

Jeremiah looked as embarrassed as Kanon was.

"Landrieu? That's just great." Kanon said in a meek growl. "That doesn't tell me anything." He said sarcastically.

"Maybe he expects you to wear it during-"

Milly cut off her sentence by Kanon's deep glare. "He even bought me matching heels. I can't wear heels! Did he forget that I'm a guy, not a woman?"

Jeremiah raised an eyebrow at Kanon.

"I'm not a cross dresser!"

"You'd make a good one." Jeremiah sighed, with an evil smirk.

"Shrew you all!" He took the brown box and chucked it at Jeremiah, but he caught it easily, as if it was only being tossed to him. "WHY?" He threw his arms in the air.

"There's a reason why he's this emotional, right?"

Milly nodded.

"Don't breathe another word." He pointed at Milly, "He will never know."

Milly shock her head, letting her hand hold the side of her face, "Would you mind and ask Schneizel out of curiosity, if Kanon has to wear the dress or not?" She asked Jeremiah pleadingly.

Jeremiah nodded without saying another word, and left the room while pulling out his cell phone.

"When was it part of the deal that I have to wear a dress?" Kanon asked Jeremiah, as the car drove closer to the targeted restaurant.

"You look lovely in the dress." He said while giving Kanon a quick wink. "Besides, he made sure that it was just going to be you and him. No one else will see or hear you two."

"That still doesn't make me feel any better… Okay maybe a little, but still I don't understand why he wants to have dinner with me in the first place."

"He has his reasons," Jeremiah explained, "Even if it's for the good or the bad."

Kanon stared out the window impatiently, "I just want this to be over already."

Jeremiah chuckled, "I wouldn't worry. Schneizel knows how to have a good time. I bet it'll rub off on you, and you wouldn't even know what hit you."

The auburn snorted, "If you say so."

Sunday,

He felt warm inside the covers he was wrapped around in. If only he could feel this way all the time. Such a luxury would make his problems go away, and just maybe make him in a better mood.

Seconds… Lips trailed up his back and onto his bare shoulders, and up the nap of his neck…

"Hold up!" Kanon shoot up from the bed. "Why did this have to happen?" A hand was about to reach for his heart shaped face, but he instantly slapped it away, "I hate you Schneizel El Britannia."

Jeremiah – Body guard for the Britannia family, if you didn't catch that in the story.

Schneizel El Britannia - Buying The Rouge.

"Of course Jun will be enraged when he finds out that Kanon will be mine soon." *Schneizel El Britannia* This will be explained later on in the story.

Yes! Finally I'm done! God I think I portrayed Jeremiah and Schneizel wrong, but I think Schneizel is some what an ass sometimes…NO! All the time! Please comment and yes I know there are and always will be errors, so don't be mean about it…Please don't yell…

Don't ask why I wanted Schneizel to give Kanon a dress, but I would find Kanon rather attractive in a dress… And also, I find Jeremiah rather appealing. *drools* that's why I had to put in a part where Kanon is all dazzled by his appearance, well actually his smirk.

I really hate writing what Kanon or anyone else is doing while they are talking… Maybe I should change this so it's like reading a script for a play… No that's a bad idea… Maybe…

Anyway, please keep reading… You well, right?
