All he wanted was for him to see things his way. At least that's what he told himself. But it quickly became much more than that. He was quite surprised he could even think such thoughts. Every battle they fought against each other only made his desire grow stronger. He was determined to have him, at any cost. If he had to completely subvert his will in order for him to comply then so be it. It would be so easy. Just a glance into his eyes, a single command, and he'd have control.
He would have him. Completely loyal, unquestioning obedience, eternally his. Soon, he would get his opportunity to finally claim him.
Lelouch eyed Suzaku in the crowd from up high. He stared intensely as he chatted with everyone wishing to become acquainted with the newly appointed knight. He was disgusted by the scene. They had only looked at him with scorn before, and now they only wished to benefit from his position. He made his plan then. Once everyone was gone he'd have Suzaku all to himself, no more distractions. He would give him one chance to accept and if he refused...well there won't be any outcome where he refuses. Lelouch would make sure of that. He will accept, no matter what.
Finally everyone left, leaving just them.
Suzaku leaned against a table, taking in his surroundings now that the crowd was gone. Lelouch quietly stood beside him. "That was quite nice of them," Suzaku stated, "throwing a party like that."
Lelouch crossed his arms, "yes, it was quite nice."
Suzaku wasn't convinced by his words at all and turned towards his friend, "Lelouch, what's wrong?"
Lelouch chuckled and shook his head, "you don't see it do you? Or perhaps you simply ignore it? They don't give a damn about you."
"Lelouch..."
"They only see you as a way to get higher in life, a stepping stone. The Britannians will throw you away once you're no longer any use to them," he faced Suzaku, "you would throw your life away for them?!"
Suzaku took Lelouch's hand in his. "Lelouch, I understand that you're upset about me being in the Britannian army, but...things are working. I'm Princess Euphemia's knight now, and together she wants to–"
Lelouch ripped his hand away, "forget about the princess!"
Suzaku was surprised by his outburst, but his next words surprised him even more.
"Step away from Britannia, Suzaku. Your talents are better suited somewhere else."
Suzaku knew what he meant by those words and desperately hoped he was mistaken, but he asked anyway. "You're referring to the Black Knights, aren't you?"
A silence filled the room. Lelouch looked Suzaku right in his eyes, "yes, I'm offering you a position." He clasped his hand tightly, not breaking eye contact for a second. Waiting for the refusal he knew would soon come. Countless orders waiting on the tip of his tongue. Suzaku, join the Black Knights. Suzaku, be loyal to me and me alone. Suzaku, obey my orders. Suzaku, submit to me. Suzaku, be mine for all eternity. "I want you as my right hand man."
It was now Suzaku's turn to pull his hand away. "You know I can't accept."
Lelouch smiled, "oh I was expecting a refusal," he shook his head, the smile not leaving his face. "It's quite a shame, really, that you couldn't accept willingly." He took hold of his chin, causing Suzaku to gasp at the sudden closeness, and activated his geass; his smile taking a far more sinister look. "Suzaku, you will–"
"Good evening!"
Lelouch stopped and his geass faded, "interrupted now of all times," he thought to himself.
"Apologies, but I must steal Suzaku away from you. My dear Lancelot is in dire need of a test and our lovely devicer is required for it."
Suzaku was still dazed from the effect of the geass. "What...what was that..."
"Actually," Lelouch's commanding voice echoed in the room, "Suzaku's quite busy right now, so I think you should leave."
Lelouch's tone snapped Suzaku out of his daze, he turned to Lloyd. "N...no it's fine, I can leave now." A sudden firm grip on his shoulder told him he wasn't leaving anytime soon.
Lelouch's voice took on a commanding aura. "You look all around, but can't find Suzaku anywhere, so you decide to leave and have someone else test out the machine."
"How strange," Lloyd scratched his head in confusion, "I was certain Suzaku would be here of all places. I guess Cecile can test it while we wait for the boy."
"What?" Suzaku exclaimed. "Lloyd, I'm right here!" He left without another word. Suzaku turned to Lelouch with fury in his eyes. "What the hell did you do?"
Lelouch savored that look of anger in Suzaku's eyes, he couldn't wait till they were glazed over in submission. "Certainly you remember that feeling moments ago, before we were rudely interrupted. Perhaps it felt like you were floating, every muscle in your body completely relaxed. Unable to find the will to fight."
Suzaku was on guard now. He slowly took a few steps back. "Yeah, I do."
"Do you remember that green haired girl from the capsule? Well, she gifted me this extraordinary power. With it, I'm able to compel anyone to obey anything I say."
Suzaku's breath hitched. If Lloyd hadn't come in when he had Lelouch was going to–
"That's how I made him leave," he said stepping forward, getting closer to his retreating friend, "how I got Jeremiah to release you that night," he stopped in front of him, tracing his chest with his finger, "and how I'm going to make you submit completely to my will."
"You plan to enslave me? No...no you're bluffing! You wouldn't do that! The Lelouch I know wouldn't do that!"
Lelouch sighed and chuckled lightly, "so far in denial, you refuse to accept the truth." He grasped Suzaku's face in his hand, "ask yourself, Suzaku, do you really know the true me?"
He defiantly met his eyes, not knowing that was a grave mistake. "You won't do it."
Lelouch gave a devilish smirk, "oh, Suzaku, you already made the mistake of looking into my eyes." Before he could correct his error, Lelouch activated his geass, trapping him in place. He caressed his face, the fear already giving way. "You are going to be mine for all eternity, Suzaku. You will serve me in any way I desire. Any order I give you must obey. Your mind and body belong to me, you belong to me."
Suzaku heroically tried to resist, but the geass overwhelmed him in an instant. Any attempt at resistance was stomped by the dominating command, and he was forced into submission. He fell to his knees as the command took control, his thoughts soon betraying him. It was too much to bear, and the geass silenced his resistance. His breaths came out quick and heavy from his fight, he kneeled before Lelouch and surrendered to him. "I...I belong to you, Lelouch."
Lelouch smiled at his obedient knight, he couldn't contain himself any longer and pushed him to the floor. He climbed on him and claimed his lips in a kiss. "Give yourself to me," he murmured against his lips before claiming them once more. "Submit completely to me." He peppered kisses along his neck, Suzaku sighed at the light kisses and grasped at Lelouch's clothes, pulling him even closer. "Yes, worship me, Suzaku, I'm all you need. Serve me with everything you have. Be my loyal slave for the rest of your life, and think nothing other than–"
"Lelouch."
He reluctantly turned from Suzaku to the voice; C.C. stared back at him, watching the scene.
"Don't you think you've gone too far this time?"
He awoke with a start, and C.C.'s golden eyes met his.
"Quite the dream you had."
Lelouch's eyes widened in horror, "how did–"
"We're accomplices, you and I. If your emotions are strong enough I can see what you're thinking...and what you're dreaming."
"I..."
She approached the window, the glow from outside illuminating her form. "You should do something about that boy before that dream of yours becomes reality. Unless..." she turned and met his eyes, peering into his soul, "that's what you really want."
C.C. tossed something to him, and it landed on the bed with a soft thud. He picked it up and found that it was his phone...with Suzaku's number already pulled up. Lelouch stared at C.C. for a long time; she looked back at him with expectant eyes. He sighed, the woman knew him too well. He called.
Three rings in total before a tired voice answered, "...Lelouch, is something wrong."
"Come to my place as soon as possible." He hung up after that, knowing it was enough to convince Suzaku. He left the bed and waited on the balcony, patiently awaiting his arrival.
Suzaku wasted no time to get to the academy. He quickly threw on his uniform and snuck out undetected. What could possibly be going on at this hour that Lelouch needed him right away? Was he discovered? He quickened his pace to the familiar building. He nearly knocked before remembering what time it was. He reached for the door handle, but it was opened from the other side. Lelouch waiting patiently for him. "Lelouch what's–"
"Suzaku Kururugi."
He was surprised by the sudden formal address. Just what was going on? Something red flashed in Lelouch's eye and it immediately caught his attention.
"From this moment forward, you belong to me."
Everything became red for a moment. He felt something foreign in his mind, but soon it felt peaceful, calming. Everything felt...right. Lelouch beckoned him to follow, and who was he to refuse? No, he could never refuse Lelouch, he needed to follow him. He needed to obey him, to serve him. Lelouch took his hand in his and it just felt right, like it was always suppossed to be entwined with his.
Lelouch led Suzaku up the stairs, he could feel his heart beating; his thoughts were rushing. He did it, he actually did it. He gave him the command without hesitation. They arrived at his room, he opened the door, and C.C. met his eyes immediately.
"See, it wasn't that hard now was it?"
