Friday,
Kanon wasn't really sure what happened on Friday…he didn't even know if he had went to work…
Saturday,
The rosette woke with fluttering eyes. He shifted in bed and was startled that he had bumped into someone quiet roughly. "Kanon, can you try to remember that you're not the only one who sleeps on this bed." The blond grumbled a bit before he turned over again to try to fall back asleep.
"Sorry…" Kanon starred up at the ceiling. "Why does it feel like we had a big fight not so long ago?" He asked out loud, which caused the blond to roll over so he was facing the rosette.
"You seriously can't remember yesterday can you?" The blond had an annoyed expression on his face. "You were practically taking his side." The blond said, disgusted. "He broke into our house and you don't even stop to think that we should at least put a restraining order against him. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"Jun won't hurt me." Kanon recalled what Jun had told him. "Because he's trying to be one step ahead of you at all times…"
"Is he now?" The blond cocked an eyebrow. "Well that would explain why he hasn't done anything to the extreme…yet." Schneizel sat up from the bed, seeing that he wasn't going to go back to sleep. "I'm not mad at you," Schneizel said, "I just don't understand why you can't see that we need to take action against Jun…"
"But he wants to help me…he was crying…" Kanon paused, seeing that there was no point in further explaining to the blond. Schneizel had made up his mind about Jun, and he wasn't going to let Kanon change his mind.
"Anyway, you made me talk with him yesterday. I was surprised that Feliz didn't kill that bastard Thursday night, but you wouldn't let her go anywhere near him." The blond continued with an irritated tone. "We talked for awhile, but then he just started up on how it wasn't fair that I toke you away from him and then Feliz stepped in and nearly killed the both of us."
"Well then," Kanon sat up as well, "I guess I didn't know that you were such a hot head." The rosette said jokingly. The blond shook his head.
Schneizel ignored Kanon's remark. "We need to put a restraining order on him."
Kanon shook his head. "He's just trying to help me…"
"By breaking into our house and scare you enough that you have to call Feliz? No I don't think he's trying to 'help' you." The blond insisted. "I think he's trying to trick you into thinking that you can trust him. I bet he just wants to take the baby away from you the moment he finds out it's his, because he knows it would just kill you if he did."
"How can you just come up with that?" Kanon asked angrily. "I know him, and he wouldn't do such a thing."
"He is mentally unstable," Schneizel retorted. "Those types of people deserve to have a few restraining orders against them."
"Well I think you're overreacting." Kanon mumbled, putting the covers over his face after he had lain back down, so he couldn't see anything. The rosette felt that bed shift and a shadow appeared over the covers.
"Kanon…" The blond kissed the rosette over the covers. "I care too much about you, please consider putting a restraining order against Jun. It'll make our lives easier…"
"But…I trust him." Kanon kept the covers over his face. Was Schneizel ever going to forgive him?
Line Break
"I can't believe you won't put a restraining order on that psychotic fool." Feliz was throwing her arms in the air, causing the other people to look at her with accusing eyes. Feliz had taken Kanon to an ice cream shop, since Kanon couldn't stand Schneizel's disappointed gaze on him all morning and part of the afternoon.
"Well you're the one who almost killed him." Kanon rolled his safire eyes. "Is it even fair for you to call him psychotic?"
"I'm not psychotic, Kanon…I'm just easily angered." Feliz was lost in thought. Kanon could only smile at the blond haired woman. Kanon had noticed that she had a tendency to lose herself in thought, which gave him time to think quietly to himself. Was he going to talk to Jun? Tell him that he wasn't going to put a retraining order on him and give him a second chance? He didn't know, but his gut was telling him that he shouldn't trust Jun. The rosette decided to ignore this gut feeling. Everyone deserved a second chance, even if they are a little psychotic…
"Still," Feliz went on, "You should put a restraining order on him. At least for a good one hundred feet," The blond sighed and added, "It must be hard for Schneizel to see what you see in Jun. I bet he's trying his best right now. He's like that you know. He always wants to be able to understand everything at any stand point, even if he doesn't agree on the situation."
"Yes," Kanon agreed, "it's nice that he understands…well almost understands."
Feliz giggled, "Don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll get over it."
"Yeah, I hope so too."
The blond shifted in her chair as if she were going to stand up, but she didn't and sat in the chair with a worried expression on her face. She sighed and than decided to stand up and through away her empty bowl. The rosette gave her a questioning look as she sat down once again, but she seemed not to notice the other's perplexed non-verbal.
"Feliz is everything-?" Kanon paused as Feliz shoot out of her chair.
"Someone turn up the volume!" The blond female was gesturing towards the T.V. One of the employees used a remote to turn up the T.V. rather quickly, probably due to the fact that she was startled by Feliz's sudden out cry.
"Is everything alright?" Kanon was also startled.
"Shh, listen."
Kanon turned his attention to the T.V. to notice some sort of announcement about the Britannia Company. A picture of a young girl with pink hair appeared at the right side of the screen.
"Euphemia Li Britannia, one of the many members of the Britannia Company lost one of her most prized stores today." The news report began. "The Black Knights bought her out about an hour ago. Sources say that because Euphemia was losing small amounts of money due to a store the Black Knights opened a few weeks ago. With this, they took the opportunity to take her out of business for good. In other news-"
"That's horrible!" The blond spat at the T.V. "The nerve of them!"
"Feliz, there's nothing that we can do about it…" Kanon tried to sympathize, but Feliz was not even close to willing to settle down. "I wonder what Schneizel will do about this?"

"Schneizel…?" Kanon called out when he opened the door of his house. There was no answer, but movement could be heard up stairs. "Schneizel…?" The rosette entered even though he was sure that Feliz would drag him outside once she heard the mysterious movement up stairs.
"It's just me." Jeremiah's familiar voice echoed down the stair case.
"Jeremiah, what brings you here?" Kanon was about to make his way up stairs, but Jeremiah was already half way down. "And where's Schneizel?"
"Have you heard what happened to Euphemia?" The knight asked.
"Yes." Kanon nodded, "I'm guessing Schneizel left right away after he heard that, didn't he?" Jeremiah only nodded and made his way past Kanon, but the rosette grabbed Jeremiah's arm softly. "Where are you going?"
"Schneizel asked me to grab something, because he had forgotten it here. I'll be on my way now." Jeremiah yanked his arm away from the other, making his way to the open door way.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Kanon asked in a questioning shout. "Did I do something wrong? Tell me, I want to make things better." Jeremiah paused at the door way.
"Are you alone?"
"No, Feliz is still in the car and- Don't change the subject on me, please answer me…please…" The rosette didn't move from his spot, afraid that Jeremiah would just walk away from him if he did so.
"I'm not mad at you or anything…" Jeremiah sighed. "I want to avoid an event that could possibly happen, so please, just let it go." Kanon frowned. Jeremiah sounded mournful, but he was still hiding something from Kanon, which made the rosette angry.
"You know you're hurting my feelings when you avoid me like this. I thought you were stronger than this." Kanon decided to come from a different approach. Maybe he could get Jeremiah to talk if he was provoked.
"Again," Jeremiah sounded irritated, but he did not turn around from his spot in front of the door, "just let it go."
"Why can't you tell me?" Kanon exclaimed. "Why can't you? I want to understand!"
"I am truly sorry; Kanon, but I can't tell you. It would create a bigger hole for you to climb out of, so please understand that what I'm keeping from you will hurt you more if you find out." Jeremiah paused, but then walked out the door without another word.
"I can't understand if you don't tell me." The rosette sighed.
"Is everything okay?" Feliz poked her head in the doorway. "Is Schneizel here?"
"No he isn't here…"
"Did Jeremiah say anything to you?" Feliz asked as she walked into the house. "You seem sad…oh!"
"What?" Kanon flinched back.
"Oh, um nothing…it's just…" Feliz paused as she made the same worried expression she had made at the ice cream shop. "It's nothing, never mind."
"Okay?"
"Sorry," Feliz apologized. "I think I know where Schneizel is." The blond said, turning around and walked over to the door. "I'm sure that he is meeting with the other members of his family. What happened to Euphemia will be a spark that will start many things for the Britannia Company."
Line Break
Feliz didn't say anything on the ride to the Britannia Company's headquarters. She was lost in thought again, so Kanon didn't want to bother her. This gave the opportunity to think also. Feliz had to know what Jeremiah was hiding from him, due to the expression she had made when she asked if Jeremiah had said something to him. She had made the same expression when she was at the ice cream shop with him. Could he assume that she was thinking that same thing? No, there was a possibility that she was worried about something different. It was Feliz after all.
"We could call him," Feliz said to herself, "but I'm sure he's here…"
Kanon toke out his cell phone, but paused. If Schneizel was at a meeting, which he probably was, he would have his phone on silent, so what was the point in calling him in the first place? Plus, Schneizel wasn't exactly in a good mood with Kanon in the first place, so Schneizel might just ignore Kanon if he was out and about.
"Call him Kanon." The blond crossed her legs as she finally came back from her thoughts. "I'm sure he didn't put his phone on silent since the incident with Jun on Thursday."
"Alright," Kanon pushed one on his phone and it automatically called Schneizel's phone.
Within seconds Schneizel answered the phone, "Are you okay Kanon?"
"Yes," the rosette answered quickly, "I was just wondering where you were."
"Oh! I'm sorry something came up and-"
"Euphemia lost her business today by the Black Knights." Kanon said involuntarily.
"Yes," Schneizel wasn't shocked, "I just got done with a meeting. Where are you?"
"I'm in the car with Feliz. We're on our way to the Britannia Company."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
"Okay."
"Kanon."
"Yes…?"
"I love you."
"…I love you too, Schneizel."
"Bye."
"…Bye…"
"Oh cute," Feliz smiled warmly as she watched Kanon put his phone back into his pocket. "I told you he's not mad at you."
"I never said-"
"It's in your eyes, Kanon. I can read you like a first graders' book."
The rosette blushed slightly as his eyes darted down to the floor. "I get that a lot."
"Because it's true," Feliz giggled, "So we're meeting him at the headquarters then?"
"Yeah…"
"Perfect, because I have to show him something."
"What is it?"
"You'll see."
Line Break
Kanon didn't get to see what she needed to show Schneizel, because right when they arrive he was forced by a knight under Schneizel's command to walk to the other side of the building. The blond woman smiled deviously as if she had known this would happen to Kanon.
"See you later." She waved and then disappeared into the building. Kanon couldn't help but sigh at her, since it was no use to cry over.
"Sorry Mr. Maldini, but Schneizel told me to protect you." The knight bowed slightly and began to walk on the path around the gigantic building. Kanon followed after him.
"I'm going to be attacked? Isn't it safe here?"
"Sorry, but we've been having security problems."
"Oh."
"So," the knight began, "you're Kanon."
"Um…yeah…" Both of them kept walking, but the rosette could tell that he was getting a look over. "So I'm guessing you've heard of me."
"Of course," the knight rolled his eyes at the thought, "Schneizel always talks about you."
"Does he know?" Kanon slightly blushed. "I hope its good things."
"Don't worry, it is." The knight reassured.
"Great…"
"Here we are." The knight paused in front of the door. They had already made it around the building. Just on cue Schneizel walked out the door. "Schneizel," The knight bowed.
"Thank you, you may leave."
"Yes sir." The knight bowed one last time before turning around and walked away.
"Schneizel I-" Kanon was surprised to find one of Schneizel's arms around his waist and a hand holding up his chin. "What are you doing?"
The blond chuckled, "I don't want to talk about it right now. I just want to spend some time with you." He leaned in to place a kiss on Kanon's lips. "I've prepared some lunch for you. You're hungry, right?"
"Yes," Kanon breathed out slowly.
"Good." The blond smiled warmly, before kissing Kanon again. He led Kanon inside the building, but Kanon wasn't expecting to see a garden.
"This is part of the headquarters?"
"Surprised?"
"Very." Kanon walked around while Schneizel stood and watched him with a grin on his face. The rosette followed a path, staring at the different colors the flowers produced. It was beautiful! "I could stay in here forever." Kanon gasped a little when Schneizel toke his hand gently into his.
"Yes, it's quiet relaxing in here." Schneizel commented. "You can stay in here as long as you like today, my dear."
Kanon paused, so Schneizel did the same.
"Kanon, is everything okay?"
"Yes…" Kanon nodded, "Don't worry it has nothing to do with Jun." The rosette kissed Schneizel's cheek sweetly.
They both continued walking until they reached the middle of the garden. There sat a table and two chairs, with food that was ready for anyone to eat. Schneizel pulled out Kanon's chair and motioned him to set down in it. Kanon did so and then he was pushed in. Schneizel sat in the other seat. He took the napkin that sat in his side of the table and placed it on his lap. The rosette did the same.
"Eat up." Schneizel smiled at the rosette.
"Thanks for the food." Kanon started to eat the fruit right away. He didn't want to eat anything big since he was still slightly full from the ice cream he had eaten a hour or so ago.
"Where were you when you heard about Euphemia?" Schneizel asked curiously.
"I was with Feliz at an ice cream shop down town. I wouldn't have known if she hadn't noticed it on the T.V." Kanon half laughed to himself. "The news didn't talk about all too much though."
"The Britannia Company asks if information about our business stay a little hidden. We allow the media only so much information at a time, so I wasn't surprised that they only talked about Euphemia for a little bit." The blond explained.
"How nice…"
"Our company pays them off, so it is not like the media is doing this out of the kindness of their hearts." The blond rolled his eyes from the thought. "The media has to stick its nose into everything."
"True." Kanon said with a small smile. "So what did you do when I was out with Feliz?"
"I didn't get to do much, since I was here most of the time because of Euphemia and the Black Knights. I was here way before the media covered the incident on T.V." Schneizel explained. "I also had to talk to Cornelia."
"Oh, how is she?"
"She's fine."
"Are you going to eat anything?" Kanon noticed that his blond lover hadn't touched any of the food yet.
"Don't worry about me." Schneizel said. "I didn't have this food made to benefit me."
"Oh…" Kanon looked at the table. Most of the food was positioned so it was closer for him to reach.
"Are you done eating for now?"
Kanon nodded.
"Well than," Schneizel sat up and placed his napkin on the table. He walked over to turn on a radio, which surprised Kanon that he hadn't noticed it there. A soft sound consumed the room as Schneizel began his way towards Kanon. "May I have this dance?" He held out his hand.
Kanon nodded and let his hand rest in the others. He stood up and then was guided away from the table. Schneizel led Kanon's other hand to make it rest on the blonds' left shoulder and then he placed his own free hand on the rosette's waist. They swayed awkwardly at first, because Kanon didn't know what he was doing. He hadn't been taught how to be lead when it came to dancing.
"Did you ever dance with Jun before?"
"No, he didn't really think that dancing was romantic."
The blond chuckled, "Instead of starting with your left foot you start with your right, and then you step back instead of stepping forward."
"Like this," Kanon had to look down at his feet to see if he was moving correctly?
"Yes, but now look up."
"But I-"
"You're doing fine." Schneizel reinsured Kanon. "We can just slow dance if you like." He kissed the rosette on the check before moving both of his hands to the others waist. Kanon automatically wrapped his arms around Schneizel neck.
Kanon smiled weakly, "What did Jeremy have to get from our house?"
"Its work related nothing important."
"Oh…what about Feliz?"
"What about her?" The blond asked.
"She said that she needed to show you something." Kanon explained with a frown. "I'm guessing that going to be work related also? I'm sure it's boring work."
Schneizel paused from their dancing. "Are you jealous that you don't know what's going on in my work life?"
"No! ...It's just that I feel left out…because you never tell me anything."
The blond kissed Kanon on the check again. "I'm glad."
"Are you on your break right now?"
"I'm not working right now."
"Oh…"
Schneizel continued their dancing.
"Is there a reason why you never tell me anything?"
"I don't want you to have to worry, that's all."
"Is there anything else that's happening between you and the Black Knights company?"
"We're just making abrasive measures now," the blond sighed. "Nothing more, nothing less."
"Hmm," Kanon leaned in closer to Schneizel. He let his head rest on the other's shoulder. "Do you ever wonder if we are actually dreaming?"
"What's this about?"
"I feel like life is just a dream that we slowly wake up from. Is death the way we wake up from this dream?"
"Are you okay Kanon?"
"Yes, it's just that we're having a nice moment right now; it feels like I'm dreaming." The rosette felt a sudden warmth consume is body. He held on to Schneizel tighter, so he could breathe in the others strong scent.
Schneizel didn't say anything.
"What are you thinking about, Schneizel?" Kanon asked while keeping his head on Schneizel's shoulder. "Is there something wrong?" The rosette felt something rubbing against his thigh. Kanon paused, but kept his cool. "Schneizel are you excited right now?"
"Excited…? Oh!" The blond pulled Kanon away and blushed. Kanon looked at the other in awe. He'd seen Schneizel's face flushed before due to him being warm from sex, of course, but a blush from embarrassment was not commonly seen from Schneizel.
"Ah-ha!" Kanon said playfully, "I knew you were human!"
"Kanon…" Schneizel toke hold of Kanon's right wrist and pulled him close to his body. "You don't know how bad I want to make love to you right now, but it is not the right place or time to do something so intimate."
"Are there cameras in here?"
"No," the blond sighed, holding Kanon tightly in his arms, "but it still doesn't give me the right to take you in such a place."
"But what if I want you to take me right now?" Kanon whispered earnestly into the other's ear. He smirked when he felt the other shiver. "Don't you ever fantasize doing me in a field of flowers or in a bathroom?"
"…"
"Cat got your tongue, Schneizel?" Kanon gasped when he was pushed slightly away and then was hosted over the blond's shoulder. He was hulled fair away from the center of the room where the table sat and was placed laying down in the flowers. Schneizel hovered over him with his own smirk on his face.
"Once I begin something I don't tend to stop until I am finished." The blond caressed the rosette's face, gently with a soft smile across his lips.
"Oh, I know." Kanon smiled back softly also.
Line Break
"Harder…oh please…Ah!"
"You're more verbal than normal, Kanon. Is it because I'm making love to you in a public atmosphere?"
Kanon gasped out another moan. "…Harder…"
"If I do this any harder I might make you bleed." Schneizel commented, "Saliva isn't always the best lubrication."
"I-I don't care…!"
"But I do," Schneizel thrust into Kanon before he stopped to caress the rosette's face. "I don't want the gardener to think that there was rough play. I don't want the others to think someone was stabbed."
"…Please…?"
Schneizel shook his head, "No."
"..."
"How about this," Schneizel pulled out of Kanon all the way, which caused the rosette to groan, "When we go to bed tonight I'll make sure I'll take you as hard as you like, but right now," the blond slowly thrusted back in, "I will be taking you as rough as I find fitting in this situation."
Kanon wrapped his arms around Schneizel's neck and nodded.
"I'm sorry," the blond kissed Kanon on the forehead, "but I don't want to hurt you."
Sunday,
"My back…" Kanon groaned when he woke up that morning. "I can't believe how sore I am."
Schneizel chuckled, he was awake also. "I feel sore from watching you last night. I've never been ridden on like that before." The blond moaned at the memory.
"I don't think I'll be able to do that for a while."
"Good," Schneizel chuckled at himself, "because I'll need time to recover."
Kanon rolled over so his arm was lying across Schneizel's waist. "I think we should wait after I have the baby."
"Oh but I don't want to wait that long." The blond said jokingly.
"Pervert," Kanon said with a smile on his face, "I love you." The rosette kissed the blond on the check. "Are you up to having a bath with me?"
"Of course."
"Um…Schneizel?"
"Yes?" The blond gave the rosette a confused expression.
"I don't think I'll be able to walk."
"Oh!"
"Are you actually surprised?" Kanon giggled.
"I wasn't thinking about it." Schneizel apologized.
"I forgive you." The rosette kissed the blond on the check before he rolled to his side of the bed. "Let's see if I can first." Schneizel got out of bed and ventured to the bathroom to start the bath. The phone began to ring. "I got it." Kanon called out.
"Okay." Schneizel replied.
Kanon reached for the phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Hello, Kanon?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Jeremiah…"
"What is it?"
"Is…Schneizel…there?" The knight spoke slowly.
"Yes, but I'm sure you can tell me whatever you have to tell him." Kanon said with a sigh.
"It's about the Black Knights Company…Lelouch," Jeremiah paused and sighed, "Lelouch has announced that he's the mastermind behind the Black Knights…"
