"Suzaku…? So? Would you like to come?" Suzaku's mind had gone completely numb as soon as his father come into his room and uttered those two sentences. His father was a pro at getting his point across in a minimalistic way. It reminded him of the way a certain raven-haired prince with the most beautiful eyes, had command over language as well. Speaking of the young boy with the most beautiful eyes ever, his father had just announced he had business in Pendragon and both he and Suzaku had been invited to stay at the royal palace. Suzaku couldn't deny that he wasn't tremendously intrigued at seeing Lelouch in his natural habitat. Like watching an exotic animal. He smiled as he remembered how the first few days, the prince had acted like a wild animal thrown into a foreign setting.

"SUZAKU!"

"Oh, oh, right, I'm sorry dad, I have a lot of other things on my mind… can you give me a few to figure it out?"

"A few WHAT Suzaku?"

"Well… when do you need to know by?"

"Let's see… can you have an answer by dinner tomorrow night?"

"Y..yes" and the utterance of that word triggered a heat in stomach. Was that the right answer then? Suzaku wondered. In all honesty, he truly had missed the raven-haired boy. And certainly NOT the feel of his touch or lips but their mutually shared exchange of ideas, information, instruction, amongst… other things… ok, well… maybe he didn't miss the feel of his touch or lips that much.

Suzaku had never met someone who could rile him up the way Lelouch did, and the prince was 12 at the time, but his words acted as fuel for Suzaku to do what he did and feel how he felt. It was intense and when Suzaku finally had time to reflect, he was able to recognize just how intense it had been for him. But it was still wrong. Even now, two years later, he was still 21 while the prince was barely just a teenager at 14. Plus, what kind of stupid ideas was Suzaku entertaining? Why the hell would a Royal Britannian Prince even give the humble Japanese boy a second thought? Although, deep down, Suzaku had a fleeting notion that that wasn't true. But still, it was wrong and his going might be interpreted by the young prince as a sort of tacit approval and he couldn't allow that. God, how did he allow himself to get into this mess. But as surreal as it was, Suzaku didn't really feel any regret for anything that happened. But just because he was messed up didn't mean nor make what he did with the prince right. Which is why even though "yes" felt right, like being with Lelouch felt right, the older boy decided to listen to the logical side and visited his father.

"IIe, otou-san, shikashi arigatou-gozaimasu" Suzaku told his father no but thank you with such an air of sadness that even the brunette had to take a few deep calming breaths afterwards. His father didn't seem to notice, or if he did, he did a damn good job of hiding it.

"That's too bad, apparently the young prince was insistent on your presence." And just like that, Suzaku's changed his mind.

"Never mind. Yes, I'll go." His father raised a suspicious eye-brow but Suzaku was too shocked at his own quick flip-flop to pay any attention to his father. The emerald-eyed boy hadn't meant to say that. But it would look awkward and very suspicious if Suzaku again switched his answer, so he just smiled, and nodded at his father, who in turn returned one of his own but still maintained a look of slight concern.

Suzaku didn't sleep much for the three days prior to their flight and in that time, he came to one adamant conclusion and it was that he would absolutely not initiate or encourage any inappropriate advances. Nor would he entertain the prince of his bows to temptation. Oh, 'temptation,' that word… Suzaku remembered the day Lelouch had spoken about promises and the like, he had used the word and how the brunette had found it downright sexy. He could still allow Lelouch to be sexy from a distance. And, maybe a close distance. He did want to swim in those eyes and watch the color drain from Lelouch's lip when the young prince bit it in his attempts to seduce the brunette. Suzaku had done a pretty damn good job of putting up a hard exterior to combat those advances the last time and if need be, he would again because the fact of the matter was, the young prince might not even be interested in Suzaku like that anymore. The older boy wasn't entirely sure how he felt when that thought crossed his mind but decided it best not to dwell on it.


Lelouch was so excited. He had since dwelt on the thought that had plagued him on his last day in Japan and had come to an inconclusive conclusion. He knew that what he felt for the older boy was certainly a higher degree of affection than normal, but he wasn't entirely sure it was love. But inconclusive was not a result that sat well with Lelouch and so he was more than committed to figure out exactly what he felt and in the process, what Suzaku felt. He might not be a teenage girl in love but oh, he certainly missed those emerald eyes, acorn-colored hair and accompanying rock hard… body.

Upon his return to Pendragon, Lelouch had insisted on getting an MRI and CAT scan when he found himself missing working out with the older brunette boy. And not just being pinned by him, but the actual physical exertion. Enough that, when his scans came out clear, Lelouch started a very, very light course of fencing, which was as close as he could get to the kendo/bokken that Suzaku was a student and practitioner of. The feel of the sword in his hand kind of made him feel a bit closer to the Japanese boy.

All Lelouch had were his memories but they were magnificent memories and the gratitude Lelouch felt at having them had never ebbed. It wasn't every gay boy could say that they were eased into their own sexual orientation comfortably and by the sexiest guy Lelouch had ever seen or heard or felt…etc.

Lelouch was a teenager whose hormones were raging and well… he thought about Suzaku a lot a lot. He screamed Suzaku's name a lot a lot. He only thought about Suzaku and his memories and fantasies of that boy, alone. Was that healthy? Was it…love? Lust? A crush? Infatuation? The prince was determined to find out.

The first thing Suzaku noticed when they descended the stairs of the private jet into Pendragon was how utterly cold and overcast it was for being summer. Second, he wondered how the young prince's fragile body was able to handle this level of chill. It was summer here and still, the air held a chill that was more reminiscent of fall or winter in Japan. Then Suzaku remembered Lelouch shivering whenever he latched onto a certain spot on his beautifully pale neck… damn it… what was WRONG with him?! Man his mind was weak but maybe it was his weak mental acuity that caused his overcompensation when it came to physical restraint, in his martial arts and other… activities. And he may even have to practice his physical resolve during this trip.

All the derision Suzaku dumped on himself faded away immediately upon the sight of the young prince. The boy had grown, almost a foot. He was maybe only a 4 or so inches shorter than Suzaku now. And his body, was still slight and slender yet angled and it did fill out beautifully. He had made gains in that area and the brunette couldn't help but wonder if he had made gains in other areas. The mental chiding came back.

Lelouch literally broke all conventional norms and gracefully walked up to and wrapped his arms around Suzaku's neck and hugged him, drawing gasps from the maids, butlers, and guards. In fact, the only ones who seemed unaffected by it were the two embracing and one Marianne Vi Britannia. Suzaku gladly accepted the embrace, lightly wrapping his arms around the younger, however, his embrace was nowhere near as clutching as Lelouch was. But Lelouch was a prince and his sense of propriety coupled with Suzaku's awkward patting on his back caused him to quickly release his grip.

"It's good to see you again Suzaku. O Hisashiburi desu ne?" Suzaku and Lelouch smiled at each other. A smile that contained so much more than just platonic salutations.

"Hai… denka. Mata oai dekite kouei desu… your Japanese pronunciation is much improved your highness"

"It's 'something' to meet you again?"

"An honor" Suzaku lightly bowed his head to the young royal.

"Ah… well…I'm almost fluent… boku mo" Suzaku took a deep breath in at the utterance of those words. Two words he had last spoken to Lelouch while the young prince was at the brink of his orgasm, words that simply meant "me too." Then he slowly released his breath after realizing he was holding it. Lelouch was giddy inside at the reaction those two words elicited from the older boy. He remembered! oh god, what more could Lelouch ask for. He felt he could die happy now. God, he was now teetering between infatuation, love, or extreme lust as his closest bets now.

"Well, Lelouch… why don't you escort the maids and guards while they show the Kururugi's their quarters? That way, if there are any complaints or issues, you will be privy to them and can handle the situation with the utmost of care" Lelouch's mother confidently stated as she started ushering her son towards the group of individuals.

"Marianne, that's highly irregular… I'm sure the Kururugi's would rather speak to the help rather than the prince" Charles retorted.

"Oh sweet heart, they're Japanese, very modest… but Suzaku and Lelouch are friends, and their camaraderie trumps modesty, wouldn't you say?" Both Suzaku and Lelouch eyes temporarily widened at the phrasing the empress used however, again, it was only apparent to those three.

"Ah, right, of course my darling. You always do remind me of why I married you. Your mind traverses far beyond my own sometimes." Emperor Charles looked lovingly at his wife as he spoke.

"Please Charles… your too kind. You are the emperor, I am only a humble wife. Please do not elevate me to your level, there is no comparison." Although everyone there knew what she said was humility. Marianne happened to be Charles Zi Britannia's former knight. She was amongst the best during her time, known as Marianne the flash. She had been the first to test the first generation Knightmare frames and had quickly gained notoriety and afterwards, a certain respect and affection from the emperor of Britannia. She smiled at her husband. A smile that resembled one that was exchanged a few minutes back by a certain violet eyed and emerald eyed boy.


"Sir Genbu Kururugi, this is your room. This is the interconnected phone communications device. It's a regular phone which can make outgoing and receive incoming calls globally but may I direct your attention to these buttons. This button right here will call a maid to your room, this one a butler, this one a tailor, this one the kitchen, this one to the guard station, this last one is a direct line to your assigned personal assistant, Allister Soresi. The buttons are all labeled in English however, there is a Japanese pamphlet in the nightstand should you need it. Your luggage is on its way and will be here within the next few minutes. I have been told to inform you that you and Sir Suzaku Kururugi are invited to the main dining hall at 7. And I was also told to inform you that considering the time constraints, you will not be held in any ill-repute if you are not properly suited for dinner. In fact, Empress Marianne and Emperor Charles were serious when they said you could wear your night suits or pajamas to dinner if you so desire."

Everyone had a good laugh at that but Genbu hurriedly rushed them out of his room so that he could get changed, not without first demanding that his son immediately go and do the same. They were guests in THE Royal Britannia palace and even with the sincere understanding of the time issues, Genbu Kururugi was not about to allow himself or his son to show up unkempt on their first dinner at the Royal Aries Villa Palace in Pendragon.

"This is your room Sir Suzaku Kururugi. Everything I said to Sir Genbu Kururugi reigns true for you as well with the exception of your personal assistant being a Ms. Anya Alstriem, however I have been told that should you desire a male, it will be arranged within the hour." Suzaku was taken aback at the level of pampering. It was nothing like this at his house. Yes they had a mansion with servants but the servants were not available at beck and call. They all had their daily routines and only digressed during emergencies. They also did not have direct lines or personal assistants or extremely extravagant rooms like this.

"N..no, I don't think I'll be needing a… personal assistant at all but even so her gender certainly doesn't bother me any. And thank you, very much"

Very good Sir Suzaku Kururugi. I'll leave you to your ablutions then. Sir Suzaku, your highness" the guard started bowing.

"You can just call me Suzaku, please, I insist"

"Ah, well, thank you but we, as in, none of the help or guards can be so informal with guests of the royal family. Please do excuse any inconvenience or uncomfortableness it may cause you"

"Ah.. n, no.. can you then, at least just call me Sir Suzaku? Drop the surname? With me at least…?"

"But of course Sir Suzaku. I will make a note to relay the message but please, give at least 2 hours before the change will fully take place… if that's all. Sir Suzaku, your highness." The guard bowed again and left with the rest of the help, leaving only Suzaku and Lelouch.

The latter promptly burst into a fit of laughter at the brunettes deer-in-the-headlights look. Suzaku first flinched at the loud laughter, then he relaxed at the sound, and within a few more seconds, he was laughing alongside the prince.

"haha… 2 hours? haha, wow…G..God Lelouch, how do you ever survive with such poor excuse for help? haha"

"hahaha… oh, it's difficult Suzaku, totemo muzukashi desu. Very. haha"

Both boys laughter died naturally into slight chuckles and finally to just smiles.

"You know Suzaku… I missed your laugh… I missed your voice. I… missed everything about you" Suzaku's face went dead-pan.

"L..Lelouch, loo" But before he could finish his sentence, Lelouch had closed the gap between them and hungrily kissed Suzaku.

For a moment, Suzaku went on auto-pilot and god Lelouch's lips were soft and his hips were so slender. Suzaku kissed him back. And then… and then Lelouch's hand went into Suzaku's hair, like it belonged there and… no one had done that since Lelouch.

Suzaku was an "other-oriented" lover, he never divulged what he liked, in fact, he wasn't even entirely sure what all he liked. Lelouch was the first person to ever really try something different, something out-of-the-box that had elicited a positive and very arousing reaction from the older boy and he was only 12 at the time… and god, he was only 14 now. Suzaku pulled back, forcing Lelouch off his lips with his hands on the younger boys shoulders.

"L..Lelouch, I di..didn't come here expecting to.."

"I know that… kiss me Suzaku, we don't have much time before you have to dress and we have to go to dinner" Lelouch made towards the older boy.

"N..no, stop Lelouch, let me.. finish.. please, you're a prince right? Where are you manners? Interrupting people like that?"

"Well, I wouldn't if you weren't saying such idiotic things… but you're right, dumb or not, I should afford you the right to say your peace…"

"So gracious Lelouch… Thank you" the sarcasm stung but after a moment, Suzaku sighed out of resignation and continued.

"It…It's just that, what we had was… really special Lelouch. It was your first time and I really am honored that I got to be that for you… but, I mean, come on… you HAVE to know how inappropriate this is"

"But… you… you were the one to tell me it was natural"

"Not that we're both male… well… that too but not because it's not natural but because of your station and ethnicity… but that's all… well, secondary to our age difference"

"Suzaku… 7 years is nothing… my parents are 12 years apart in age"

"Yes Lelouch but… not at OUR ages, it's not ok. In fact, in the eyes of the law, I can be prosecuted and sentenced to jail or… worse… and our reputations and our family's reputations if something were to happen"

"Suzaku, you're being paranoid. You… don't think I know what's at stake? I'm just as, if not more cautious, than you. I at least can hide my emotions, unlike your obvious eyes… God, the age of consent in Japan is 13!"

"Not in Tokyo, it's not"

"Well… good thing you live in… Tok… OH WAIT. You don't. You live in Kyoto, moron" Suzaku let out an exasperated sigh.

"Lelouch. I know that. My point was that, it's not the same everywhere. In fact, it's not even safe for me or you everywhere, not even everywhere in my own country."

"Suzaku… you're over thinking this"

"No Lelouch, if anything, you're underestimating this… for Gods sake, you're 14 and I'm 21, you haven't even fully gone through puberty yet!"

"Didn't stop you before"

"Oh.. don't do that Lelouch… just don't."

"What… God, you do regret it… don't you…?! you say you don't but you wouldn't be doing what you're doing now if you didn't on some level, regret it, you can't have shame now and not for when I was even younger"

"I'm not ashamed…"

"Yeah, right, Suzaku…" The raven-haired boy looked totally unconvinced and his tone complemented his features. "Ugh, whatever… I'm leaving, we're late. Your dad will be here any second. I… I'll… see you at dinner" The angrily moved towards the door.

"Lelouch…" Suzaku grabbed Lelouch's wrist as the violet-eyed boy angrily passed him by. He turned around with a scowl on his face that looked like it had made a permanent residence on Lelouch's face. Suzaku moved a bit closer to the boy, but nothing that could be misinterpreted. Much.

"Whether you believe me or not, I wasn't lying when I said I don't regret it. And I wasn't lying when I said it was great to see you again because… I missed you, too. I missed… your company. C…can't we just be friends?" Suzaku's betraying eyes showed a sincere sadness and pleading in them.

Lelouch looked like something inside him momentarily broke at the words he was hearing but just as quickly as it flashed, he regained his composure and was unreadable again. The raven tugged his wrist free and walked out without saying a word.

'Friends?! He wants to be just friend?! God… is that even possible?! After he… after we… god he was my first… my first kiss and my first sexual experience and my first orgasm and the only person who has gotten me off, time and time again, with or without his physical presence… my first… I want him to be my first everything… my first…love… oh god… CAN we just be friends? But… he responds to me physically and he likes what I do to him and he did say he missed me and that was definitely true… he kissed me back, he wrapped his arms around me, he was weak to me when I was 12… now I'm 14… no… we can't be friends… and he doesn't want that either. I have to show him…' and that last thought made Lelouch happy and sad. He was glad that he had solved his problem that it would lead to inevitable happiness but he wasn't looking forward to lying or manipulating the one person he really didn't want to. God, the prince never thought such an individual would ever exist, but here he was, and Lelouch had the unfortunate luck of meeting him at the tender age of 12, right when his life of crime and manipulation and exploitation should have been cultivated into pristine condition came along an individual who made him second guess it all yet forced him to use it.

Well… in any case, this situation wasn't too foreign to the raven and unfortunately he would again have to charm Suzaku somehow. It wasn't as if what Lelouch said the last time wasn't true. It all was, with the exception of caring about Charles' proclamation that Lelouch was a waste of time and space. But Lelouch had a sinking feeling that this time, it might take a bit more manipulation to coerce his … friend. Ugh, Lelouch really didn't enjoy even saying it in his head at this point. He was fine with it before Suzaku's stupid speech but now, it just seemed so final. Final and unhappy. So for once, the princeling didn't care if the means justified the end. The end was his goal and the means be damned. He and Suzaku deserved happiness and pleasure and if they wouldn't find it with each other, that was fine too. But Lelouch would be damned if they didn't deserve to right to try and rather just wrote it off for some asinine reason like age differences or the fact that they were both male or even worse, Suzaku's stupid claim of Lelouch's station and WORST OF ALL, because Suzaku was Japanese and Lelouch was Britannian.

Japan had been conquered some 9 or 10 years prior and was currently a Britannian colony. That was why the Kururugi Shrine was abandoned when Suzaku had secretly taken Lelouch there. There was a ban on all things Shinto/Buddhist and all the shrines were officially closed. But the brunette was a staunch advocate against the oppression of peoples freedoms, whether Japanese or not, and he did little things like partaking in Kendo and maintaining the shrine all by himself as a silent protest. Lelouch also figured it was the older Japanese boy's own way of keeping his rich culture alive.

While in Japan, Lelouch had once accidentally openly criticized his country and its wretched ways in the midst of his sexual confusion… Suzaku had opened up to him and shared his own beliefs. The boys had bonded over it and Lelouch found Suzaku's actions endearing. So it hurt Lelouch, when Suzaku said that their ethnicity was a problem. It hurt, a lot.


"Fencing huhn? Wow, I honestly can say I'm surprised that you did anything physical… I mean.. like physical education… god, I mean… like… gym" Suzaku was blushing hard. Who knew it would be so hard to avoid innuendos or allusions back to their sexual episodes together.

Lelouch however, was absolutely bursting at the seams with delight at the fumbling idiot in front of him. He knew Suzaku was affected. Especially when Lelouch donned the tightest pair of white tights he could and neglected to wear the usual fencing suit, opting instead for the white tights and a black form fitting sleeveless turtleneck. Lelouch made sure that his black briefs and firm yet ample ass bled straight through white tights.

In fact, Lelouch went to a private school and even though he was 14, he was already taking college level courses at Ashford University, the sister college to Ashford High School, where he currently attended and presided as VP on the Student Council. It was during that particular extracurricular activity that Lelouch made a few friends, mostly girls.

There was the buxom-breasted blonde daughter of the Ashford Fortune, Milly Ashford and president of the Associated Student Council. Then there was Kallen Kozuki, a half Japanese, half Britannian girl. Lelouch liked her because he could practice Japanese with her and because she was half Japanese and half Britannian and that perfect medley reminded the young prince of himself and a certain emerald-eyed Japanese boy. Then there was Rivalz, who was Lelouch's partner in crime when it came to their chess heists. They would hustle rich nobles out of their easy-earned money. Then lastly was Nina, who was a hands down genius in her own right. She was brilliant with the sciences and technology yet completely blind to social conventions, literature, and boys… she was gay and Lelouch loved her a little more for that, although he would never admit it or even show it in any way shape or form.

Never mind that all his friends were at least 3 to 4 years older than him. That fact never once entered in their minds, nor did it dictate how they treated him at all. It was through his friends that Lelouch found out that he was regarded as one of the finest individuals in the school, driving the majority of the student body to consider statutory rape charges as "Meh, not so big a deal" and secondly, along with his beautiful features, Lelouch found out that he had a superb ass. And well… Suzaku never really had the opportunity to see it in its current glory… and by this point, Suzaku was purposefully avoiding looking at Lelouch. That wasn't not the case at the moment however. Amethyst eyes peaked to find emerald eyes laser focused on his backside and the younger boy couldn't help but smile under his mask. 'Point, Lelouch.' In fact, maybe it was because Suzaku was there, but Lelouch really was doing well. He won the first 3 matches and decided to quit while ahead. He purposefully dropped his fencing sword a few times though. Sudden onset of butter fingers. It was a 'real' condition and it plagued the poor prince… for that afternoon anyway. Lelouch went to put his sword away, succumbing to his last bout of butterfingers before he went to where Suzaku was sitting.

"So…?" Suzaku swallowed as the younger boy sat next to him.

"So… beau…wonderful display Lelouch… I'm actually really proud of you"

"Well, you should be… you're the one who inspired me to this in the first place. And.. well, maybe your watching me inspired me to do well today…"

A little flattery seemed to go a long with Suzaku. And this time was no different, the brunette blushed.

"Ah well… arigatou Rurushu"

"mm… that's not fair Suzaku… you know what you saying my name like that does to me" Suzaku's eyes fluttered and half lidded for a few moments before he shook his head and cleared his throat.

"Ahem… s..sorry"

"Are you… really, though?"

"…n..no…" The word came out barely above a whisper as the brunette's gaze went straight down to the floor.

"That's what I thought… and here I thought I was the tease"

"Oh… in those tights Lelouch, trust me… you are hands down, THE tease" Damn it. Of course Suzaku recognized Lelouch's ploy. The young prince had to constantly remind himself that that innocent smile was just a façade. This boy was nowhere near the naïve young man that smile portrayed.

"Well… now, you're all sweaty and sticky from your kendo practice and I'm the same from my fencing… na, Suzaku…?"

"Hrm?"

"Wouldn't it be nice if Pendragon had a nice mineral hot spring to wash in after?"

"… y…yes"

"Oh.. you know though… I had almost forgotten… before you and your fathers arrival… my mother had the brilliant idea to have hot tubs installed in your rooms… I'm sure you noticed…?" Suzaku swallowed hard again. And he took a drink of cold water to help cool his flushed body down.

"I did notice… your… mothers idea? Really?" The crimson-faced Japanese boy narrowed his eyes in suspicion of the credibility behind that claim.

"Yes Suzaku… although, I won't say that I was less than enthusiastic about when I told her how wonderful the Japanese counterpart felt… quite the… experience wouldn't you say…?"

"Lelouch… you… you're not playing fair…"

"Well, I can't help it… are you going to punish me? If not you, who else? How else will I ever learn my lesson… sensei…" Lelouch had called Suzaku sensei a few times out of anger at how overbearing the older was being back in Japan. But now… oh now it was different. The connotation… the implication… the student and teacher fantasy…

Suzaku closed his eyes and folded his head onto his knees.

"Tired Suzaku? Do you.. want to go back to your room?" Suzaku knew he should have parted ways with the young prince right then and there. But for gods sake. He was only a man. A man with a killer libido at that. So he looked up, into piercing deep purple eyes and that nudged the blade he was teetering on to momentarily wobble, and the brunette stumbled off the edge.

"Yes" He said in a hoarse voice. Lelouch got up and offered a hand, more out of consideration than out of actual purpose. And maybe, maybe he just craved the contact. It had been 5 days and Suzaku had done very well resisting Lelouch's advances. But now, as Suzaku took the proffered hand, the older boy couldn't help but feel like he was being led by an inveigler to a place of dormant forbidden passion. And that was a pretty damn temptingly sexy thought on its own.

On the way there, Suzaku tried to mentally harden himself against the inevitable barrage of forthcoming advances. But, it was difficult when Lelouch had taken to walking slightly ahead of him, in those tights and Suzaku knew he was doing it on purpose… just like he had been doing other more subtle and/or pretty obvious things over the last four days. And again, for Gods sake… Suzaku was only human. And this kid was downright insidious. And downright sexy as fuck and the young prince had somehow come to know that and become adroit at flaunting and manipulating it to his benefit.

They reached Suzaku's room and the brunette let Lelouch lock the door behind them. He then allowed Lelouch to pull him towards the bathroom and even lock that door behind them. Then Lelouch pulled Suzaku down to sit on the ledge of the large bath-tub which also had jaccuzzi jets in it but was nowhere near the size of the hot tub that was nestled on the far end of the bathroom. Lelouch sat next to Suzaku and leaned into his chest, positioning his mouth at Suzakus ear. He then nuzzled at the pine-cone colored hair right behind and below Suzaku's ear. Lelouch still had his hand intertwined in Suzakus and his other hand went to older boys knee.

"I don't want to make you do anything you're… uncomfortable with Suzaku…" Lelouch whispered as he grazed his soft lips all around Japanese boys nape and ear lobe. It caused the brunette to tilt his head down and away, to make his neck more accessible. Lelouch let a small smirk dawn those lips at the older boys movement. And he took it as encouragement to be a bit more daring. He slid his other hand up a bit more, so that was now resting on the middle of Suzaku's thigh. Suzaku was wearing basketball shorts and a t-shirt and Lelouch played with the fabric with his fingers. He continued grazing with his lips as he spoke

"But you know Suzaku… it was only after the fact that I realized what a grave omission I made during our last… experience…" Suzaku's mouth was watering and had to swallow before he could answer…

"A..and… what was that?" Finally Lelouch kissed Suzakus neck and licked and flicked at it and his ear lobe. The brunettes breathing sped up but he managed to stifle the moan that was literally on the tip of one of his breaths.

"Well… I tasted your skin… back then when it was sweet, now, when it's deliciously salty. I tasted your mouth, so dominant at first, then inviting… tasted of cardamom cloves and mint… then again in your room… so… playful, tasted like green tea… but Suzaku… I want to taste all of you" Lelouch moved his hand all the way up as he uttered the word "all" in an attempt to elucidate his point and the prince's hand now rested just shy of Suzaku's full blown hardness. Then as Lelouch pulled his head away from Suzaku's ear in order to read the response in those emerald eyes, his attempt was quickly proven futile as the older boy forced his tongue down the princes throat with a carnal hunger that caused Lelouch to tremble. Oh, he liked this Suzaku, he had so wanted Suzaku to take charge. It was strange for such a strong-willed individual to want to relinquish control, but Lelouch found himself turned on beyond belief at the thought of Suzaku dominating him, commanding him…

"mmm" Lelouch disengaged his hand from Suzakus as his hand went up into Suzakus hair. The brunette let out an appreciative grunt as his own hand went up Lelouch's turtleneck and circled his thumb around and flicked the princes nipple, causing such a visceral reaction that Lelouch momentarily forgot his own teasing and neglected Suzakus throbbing hardness. Suzaku used his free hand that to guide Lelouch's hand directly on top of his leaking cock. Lelouch finally composed himself a bit from the overstimulation and finally tore his mouth away from Suzakus as he slowly gripped and fondled the Japanese boy through his shorts, drawing out stifled moans…

"Oh… oh… Rurushu…"

"Su…suzaku.. look at me…" Suzaku had to shake his head to clear the lusty fog that had settled and to focus his eyes again. God, he hadn't been this turned on since… well, since the last time he was with this young boy.

"Hai, Rurushu? Daijobu desu ka? We can stop anytime."

"Hai… daijobu desu. I don't want to stop. Suzaku… let me… please, let me taste you…"

"Oh hai… yes Rurushu" and Lelouch smiled with that same gratitude he had shown the last couple of times. Then with the grace only a prince could muster, Lelouch slid down to his knees and pulled Suzakus shorts down, revealing his rather intimidatingly large cock. Lelouch licked his lips with the excess saliva that was accumulating in his mouth. The brunette had to look away from the look of pure desire and anticipation on the princes face. It was just too hot. Then….

"Ohhhh" Lelouch licked from the base to the tip, then he did that again on a different part of the brunettes throbbing shaft until it was sufficiently coated with his saliva. Then Lelouch opened his mouth as wide as he could to try to fit as much of the sexy monstrosity in front of him into his wet mouth. It was certainly a bigger feat then he was expecting. Ever since his tryst in Japan, Lelouch had gone on an expedition to learn as MUCH as he could about pleasuring other boys and blow jobs was a highlight. There were other, more intimate things, which as much as the thought turned Lelouch on, the reality was far more daunting. Lelouch Vi Britannia however, never shied away from a challenge, so if it came down to it, he would glady accept Suzaku's cock up his ass. And… the fact that it was Suzaku's and not someone else's only made the thought a little easier to digest. However, with Suzaku's attitude as it was since he had arrived, well, it left little room for Lelouch to actually worry about even the remote possibility of anal sex. In fact, as much as he would never admit it to anyone, out loud or to himself… Lelouch had become quite discouraged by Suzaku's constant rejections of his advances throughout the week and somewhere in some deep seeded creaky, dusty corner of his mind… he was scared that he would never even be able to KISS Suzaku again let alone progress it further. But then… he upped the ante and well, Suzaku buckled. Which was what he was doing at the moment. Most of the information Lelouch got about blow jobs came from the discrete internet connection he had his genius techy friend Nina set up. But when it came to the subject of love and intimacy, well… that was something the internet did not help with and Lelouch most certainly wasn't about to consult anybody he knew about it.

But that was currently the furthest thing from the raven's mind. At the moment, he was purely focused on providing the gorgeous brunette in front of him as much pleasure as humanly possible. Lelouch closed his eyes and tried convert everything he had read into pragmatic reality. And if Suzaku's moaning wasn't enough encouragement, his tight grip in Lelouch's hair was certainly enough to elevate Lelouch's ego. And maybe just maybe Lelouch had practiced with a certain popsicle… before his reflection made him gag and not from the popsicle shoved down his throat but from the sight of him doing that. And Fuck as if that moment wasn't embarrassing enough, the sirens of fate just had to laugh more at how pathetic this prince with a giant iced popsicle down his throat was because Lelouch actually gotten hard during the ordeal when his mind substituted the cursed object for a picture of Suzaku's cock. Well, sufficed to say, Lelouch ended up having to relieve himself and after that he made damn sure that it was just his old fashioned hand and memory of Suzaku, popsicles in absentia and the young prince was just fine with that.

"Oh God… Rurushu" Suzaku looked down to watch the young prince trying his hard to engulf him it his mouth and god, god, it shouldn't have been this erotic. Suzaku shouldn't be THAT turned on… and most definitely not with a 14 year old Britannian prince. Oh god, he was a beautiful angel though. As much as Lelouch always complimented everything about Suzaku, well, in the same way, Suzaku actually found Lelouch very sensual and attractive. He loved the boys deep voice, it was already deep before he really even hit full blown puberty but now it had gotten a slight bit deeper and it was like aural velvet. Lelouch's body was a given, everyone with eyes knew how utterly beautiful he was. Then there were the two main things that really drew Suzaku to this angel. His intellect and his eyes, both tied together physically through nerve endings and proximity. Both tied together on an incorporeal plane of existence through the intangible sights and storage of memories. Suzaku regularly forgot this boy was so young, he was so very mature, probably more so than Suzaku himself. Possibly even more so than the any of the Japanese boys friends or even older adults he knew. That's why, he forced his mind and thoughts to just shut-up and enjoy the fleeting act he was receiving.

"Oh Hrm… Oh.. L..Le…Lelouch"

"mapanene"

"Ahhh… hai, sumimasen… ahhhh Rurushu, I'm so.. close.. god, you don't have to.."

Lelouch stopped sucking for a brief second and looked at Suzaku, who was panting with half lidded eyes.

"I said I wanted to taste you, didn't I?" and with that he went back just as, if not more rigorously, using his hand on the bottom part of Suzakus long, thick, hard, cock.

When Suzaku tensed before his ultimate release, Lelouch took his cock all the down the back of his throat and swallowed as much as he could while deep throating the brunette without gagging and the brunette was the most shocked he had ever been at the young prince's talents. The brunette couldn't help himself. As soon as Lelouch had finished, and wiped his mouth, the emerald-eyed boy pulled the young prince up by his shirt and kissed him, deeply and for a while. Suzaku continued the kiss because it served as a distraction from a thought and the accompanying feelings of said thought… Reciprocity. As much as he would have loved to return the favor, the thought of him sucking off a 14 year old Britannian prince just… well, it didn't revolt him but he was just… uncomfortable with the notion. When they stopped kissing to regain some much needed oxygen, Lelouch looked into Suzaku's eyes and could immediately see the turmoil in there.

"Suzaku… I.. I'm not going to lie and say that I wouldn't love your mouth around me but… my word is firm and when I said that I don't want to do anything that you're uncomfortable with, I meant it whole heartedly." Suzaku's eyes widened. How?! HOW was this boy SO SMART, someone who didn't even spend time with people yet he could read them like one of his favorite books. The brunette was overcome with a sudden surge of affection for the boy. He kissed him again and moved his hand down to cup Lelouch through his tights.

"Oh… Lelouch… you've… matured…."

"Ahhh… oh Suzaku… mmm, that feels so good… but.. really, y..you don't have to d..do anything. I'm not expecting…"

"Shhh… get in the hot tub. After all, you all were so generous when you considered me when you installed it…" Lelouch's eyes lit up at the demand. He really REALLY liked this side of Suzaku. And he really really liked what that it left him the submissive role to play.

"Hai… sensei…"

Suzaku let out a slight possessive growl and Lelouch went from hard to rock solid at the noise. But before he could mention it, Suzaku was tearing at his clothes like a wild animal.

"mmm… watashi no sukina gakusei" Suzaku pulled Lelouch down into the water and onto his lap in the same straddling position before immediately devouring the younger boys nipples while his hand stroked Lelouch's cock.

"Ahh… ahhh… hrmm… Su..suzak…u..h..what did you just say?" It wasn't that Lelouch didn't know Japanese well enough to decipher the phrase on its own, it was more that his mind had turned to jelly, barely even comprehending his native English.

"Favorite student…" Suzaku didn't even bother with translating the full sentence before he sucked hard on the boy's most erogenous zone on his neck.

"OH GOD SUZAKU… feels sooo ahhh soo goood, oh yes, Suzaku, faster"

"Hai Rurushu…"

"Ahhh Suzaku… hrmm… d..did y..you.. ever tthink of me..when you, ya kn..ow, touche..d yourself?"

"few times… you?"

"haaa… .. sometimes, multiple times a ahhh day"

Suzaku squeezed harder and started thrusting harder. His own cock was already half hard again.

"So, then… you really wanted this hrm, Rurushu…? Tell me how much you wanted this" Suzaku slowed down to wait for the answer, while guiding the princes hand that was stroking his chest down to his own cock. He wasn't about to disturb Lelouch's hand that was clenching and unclenching in Suzaku's hair during the peaks of the princes arousal.

"D..don't stop… I.. oh soo much Suzaku, I dreamt of this… so mother fucking much" This was the first time Suzaku had ever heard the prince use such filthy language and, it made his cock leak it was so hot. Suzaku resumed his quickened pace and could feel the prince reaching his end and because he was already sensitive from his last arousal, Suzaku was pretty damn close too.

"ha… suzaku.. I'm I'm gonna…ahh hrmm…"

"Yeah? Come for me Rurushu… say my name when you do" Lelouch did one better for the brunette, he screamed SUZAKU'S name as his body jerked on top of the older boy. The prince rested his head on Suzaku's shoulder while he panted, catching his breath, his hand still pumping Suzaku.

"haaa… oh… Rurushu… Itta…so close… iku itta… AHHH Ruuruushuuu…. Ha" Suzaku then used the hand that was wrapped around the prince to bring his chest flush with his own chest. Lelouch still rested his head on his shoulder just as Suzaku was resettling his breathing rate, Lelouch whispered in his ear…

"Thank you…haha… again… so much Suzaku… for that… and for letting me… god this was…so amazing… and Suzaku, you taste… you taste soo delicious… your musk and then your cum, mmmm" Suzaku couldn't take it anymore. This prince was all compliments about him when it came to their trysts but Suzaku barely said one word about how truly amazing he found Lelouch. But he had a legitimate reason not to. He didn't want to give the boy any ideas or hope or lead him on in any way. Keeping it purely physical and minimal in frequency was the best option. But, well… maybe he just needed to give the boy more credit and faith that even if he did develop some sort of attachment, that he wasn't some fragile child who couldn't handle it. So Suzaku sucked it up and started.

"Lelouch… I think, I really do think that you're amazing too. You're so intelligent and mature. Y… your social skills are lacking yet you get me… and god, Lelouch… those eyes are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen… and… well…ahem…" Suzaku cleared his throat "I… I think you're… really sexy" Lelouch let out a breath that he had inhaled at the beginning of Suzaku's little confession. Shit. Lelouch was now crossing out infatuation and lust from the list… which only really left… fuck. Love. Fuck. This was… not what he was planning for at such a young age and no doubt neither was Suzaku. No way Lelouch would tell him and scare him off though. It took so much just to get Suzaku to this point they were at now and they only had 2 days left together. Two days that were already packed full of pre-arranged activities, leaving little to no time for them to spend alone. So Lelouch just swallowed his feelings and smiled a beautiful smile before leaning in to kiss the older boy again.

"Ah, I forgot your smile… it's so rare, which is why I suppose I forgot to mention it"

"Shut-up, idiot…" Lelouch smacked the older boys other.

"haha, I didn't say that was a bad thing… it's because they're so rare that it makes the sacred few so especially beautiful" Lelouch blushed and looked away.

"Let's get washed up for real, we have dinner soon…"

"Hai… Suzaku…"

The next two days went in by in a blissful blur for both boys. Marianne even noted how they both seemed be very amenable and they each had their own individual yet differing accounts on why that was. Suzaku claimed that it was because he had gotten a phone call from his girlfriend back home. Lelouch didn't really like the Japanese boys excuse although it wasn't exactly untrue. Suzaku had gotten a phone call from his next door neighbor, Yukina. When the young prince had asked about the details, Suzaku happily obliged. They had apparently known each other since they were in diapers, both being from political families that were well off and had just happened to be neighbors at the shrine and then coincidentally again at their Kyoto house.

"Hrmph… coincidence, indeed" Lelouch huffed. Suzaku just smiled at the cute jealous face Lelouch made and kissed him back to a state of placated jelly because well, Lelouch had somehow gotten really good with his tongue. It didn't surprise Suzaku, given how sharp of a tongue the young boy had to begin with, why wouldn't that translate to kissing and… their little hot tub encounter.

Lelouch had spent the last night making out and feverishly trying to avoid Suzaku's cuddles, to no avail of course. They ended up sleeping in each others arms and when they woke up on Suzaku's last day, Lelouch just wanted to tell the brunette to call or write or visit again but… he couldn't be capricious with this situation. He needed time to sit and properly dwell on it, the prince hated feeling so insecure. Ugh. Stupid love. It was already such a problem in its infancy.

Before they knew it, Lelouch was seeing his… yes, his… Suzaku off at the airport. The two boys walked a few paces behind their escorts and Lelouch just… couldn't leave it like this, so pride be damned...

"Suzaku… at what age would… this be ok, for you?"

"L..Lelouch… that's not the whole point…"

"J..just please Suzaku… please answer the question" and Suzaku took one look at the desperation and vulnerability in those gorgeous purple eyes and he acquiesced.

"16 Lelouch… but I would be 23, I would be out of college and you would be a sophomore in high school…"

"ha… are you serious Suzaku? I'm a freshmen at Ashford University"

Suzaku froze in his tracks…

"W…WHAT, YOU'RE IN COLLEGE!?"

"God, that's not the point Suzaku…" They were getting close to the boarding gate and soon they would catch up to their escorts and chaperones, Lelouch had to get this said.

"Suzaku… w..wait for me…"

"huhn?" Suzaku had a look of extreme confusion accompanied by a tilted head, a gesture that mimicked the confusion he exuded.

"wait for me" Lelouch repeated and at that point, Genbu Kururugi walked up and put a hand on his sons shoulder to indicate that they needed to go. Suzaku just absently nodded yes at Lelouch's request and then boys shared an embrace afterwards. Lelouch's stomach fluttered. Suzaku's however, didn't because in all honesty, he really didn't understand exactly what Lelouch meant. But if it made the prince feel better, he didn't mind agreeing. It was most likely meant as a pledge for a future visit. And Suzaku was totally OK with that. Genbu coughed at the lingering hug the boys shared and it startled them to quickly separate. That didn't stop them from chuckling and sharing a last smile before the brunette got on the plane. Lelouch went home happy. Suzaku said he would wait for him. In two years time, he would finally be with Suzaku, he would finally have sex with him and be his and he would be the princes. He couldn't wait to tell him how he felt. Two years was nothing if Suzaku felt the same and with his confession and promise to wait… yes, Lelouch used the word promise (with hope too), well… that was just fine.
