It All Adds Up To Zero

[as_reckless_as_ever]

I know that I have no say in where I'll go if you do decide to send me somewhere else, but I do have one request.

I...

Can I still be Suzaku, even if its just part-time?

I know its selfish of me to ask this, and that I'd be breaking another promise by doing so, but... I got my life back, I don't want to give it up all over again.

[ YOU FUCKING PILE OF FUCK STOP MAKING ME MAD ]

Do I have to start throwing things at you again?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

Because that worked so well the last time.

You can try calming down, though.

[Sips the tea, ever so nonchalantly.]

[exiledpower]

[ Pft. He's perfectly calm, thank you. Sipping his own tea like a motherfucking boss yeah I can do this way better than you. ]

I was trying to be civil, you know.

[ Except the part at the beginning. That was him just being an asshole. Also, Lulu pouting coming your way. ]

Way to ruin the mood.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

Oh, darn. No sex tonight, then.

[Can't you sense his disappointment?]

[exiledpower]

[ WHAT

THE

CHOKING ON MY TEA A LITTLE OKAY WHAT

sorry no words just staring

just this face

forever

yep. ]

[as_reckless_as_ever]

Well, none for me. You seem to get around quite a bit, though.

[exiledpower]

[ That jostles him functioning again, and provokes a very nasty, visible bristle. ]

Don't joke around with me about that, Suzaku.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

[That gets a rather amused smirk in response]

But there are so many jokes to be made about you fucking yourself.

[exiledpower]

[ Lelouch seems to have been expecting a different (read: infinitely more insulting) response than what he gets, so he backs down a bit, though his shoulders remain tense and he's still eying Suzaku pretty warily. ]

We've come to an "understanding". That's all.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

Funny, I hear that Setsuna says the same thing after sex with Lelouch.

[exiledpower]

[ Open mouth...

Close mouth...

Open mouth...

Hmph. ]

Just who keeps feeding you all this information, anyway? Do you have a spy network, or something?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

That doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I'm aware of what you've been up to.

[exiledpower]

[ Folding his arms and looking all of the cross at you, mister. ]

I don't recall granting you permission to poke around in my business.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

What makes you think I need it?

[exiledpower]

[ Oh, he can see where this is leading, and he's putting a stop to it right now. ]

This isn't an order, Suzaku. It's a request. From your friend, remember? From Lelouch? Or have you discarded me already?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

Believe it or not, I keep tabs on you because I'm your friend.

[exiledpower]

[ His fingers tighten around his teacup as he looks scornfully away. ]

Is that so? And did you keep tabs on me in that place?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

You'll have to be more specific.

[exiledpower]

The hellhole where I was being degraded on a daily basis.

[ Tighter. ]

The one I asked you to save me from.
