Delightful REVOLUTIONS Also known as CODEGEASSR2♥KINKMEME PART II
First Thread.
People didn't even really try to be discreet about their opinion when Lelouch showed up for PE class the next day.
"Wow," Rivalz said. "I can't even remember the last time you came to PE class. I was wondering if you'd fail."
Lelouch gave him a practiced smile. "I won't fail." He slipped his eyes to the teacher looking at them with mild interest, and added, a bit louder, "Definitely not. Don't I have to be ready for the hiking trip in a week?"
Suzaku gave him a look, but said nothing.
Volleyball was the exercise of choice today, and though it was actually one of Lelouch's stronger suits (at least volleyball didn't require running across the field yapping like a dog and heaving his lungs like a chain-smoker), it did involve having lightning-speed balls volleyed at him. The only reason why he didn't yelp and duck away from the balls was because he was currently using the last reserves of his will power to see it through.
After an hour (or more like twenty, it seemed to Lelouch) of that, Suzaku finally whistled for them to stop, and the students started to file away into the direction of the showers.
Lelouch gave Suzaku a very pointed look before he followed the rest.
Lelouch never showered with the class, even on the rare occasions he did show up, prefering instead to slink away and wait until he got home to step into his private shower there. He was sure that nobody, including the teacher, had missed that -- and would be surprised he was steeping so low as to shower with the others today.
Once in the locker room, he sat down on one of the benches, legs and arms crossed, and watched the boys stumble in and out of the shower rooms with little interest. Rivalz shot him a quizzical look and asked him what was up, and the rest of the boys, used to his royal behavior, barely gave him a second glance. It was only once the last boy had left the room, now freshly showered and newly locked in another volley of prickly gossip, that Lelouch got to his feet, undressed, and got under the shower himself.
Lelouch gave Suzaku thirty seconds to consider what to do after the last boy had shuffled off into the distance. A minute to mull what he'd said earlier, probably with that little roll of his green eyes and maybe rubbing the back of his head, too. Then a few more seconds of irritated blinking, then a decision hardening his features, then a few more seconds to open the door and stalk into the locker room --
And ah, there was that sound: that jingling of his keys and the sound of his footfalls, and Lelouch switched off the shower head and waited.
The warm pearls of water dripped off of his body and splashed onto the piles. "I'm in here," he called. Thought you were going to come look for me.
Lelouch took all the time in the world to snatch a towel from one of the halters, rub his head, dry off his skin, and wrap it around his waist. Then he stepped out into the locker room, a cloud of hot air following him.
His eyes were on Suzaku's face the moment he saw it, pinning and measuring, observing every twitch of his eye, every little movement of his face.
But Suzaku looked at him annoyingly blasé, face lax in surfeit.
Somewhere inside him, Lelouch felt annoyance hatch. He threw his wet hair back, careful not to miss a single move on the other man's face. "Care to explain why you barged in here?"
"You said you were coming on the hiking trip," Suzaku said. As if that explained everything.
"So?" Lelouch raised an eyebrow.
Suzaku shrugged, then gave him another one of those fake-smiles he was so good at. "Just seemed surprising. Considering I'm failing you."
Leluch bit his lower lip. Suzaku was so damn -- professional about this. Oh, he hadn't expected him to throw him against the tiles right now, certainly -- he knew the guy was far too moral for that -- but not even a blink? Not even a look down his chest? Not even a stealthy glance down to where the towel wrapped snugly around his trim waist? Well, he had chosen to confront him like this more out of curiosity what he would do, more to bring him out of his reverie; but he hadn't expected him to be quite so nonchalant about him.
And so, Lelouch dropped that particular strategy, and chose another.

"Are you going to report me, then? You know. Since I blackmailed you and everything. Or attempted to, anyway." He gave a sigh, and added in mock-concern, "Though I wonder what the word of an Eleven would count against mine."
Suzaku's expression was unwavering. "I considered it. But you're not even eighteen yet -- you have enough time to change for the better. So no -- I currently have no plans for reporting you."
"Oh, great. Charity, is it?" Right out of the mouth of someone who needed it more than him, too.
"Not so much charity," Suzaku said, skipping over the insult like a child over a trash bag, "as a loophole in the rules that works to your advantage this time."
"You love rules, don't you?" Lelouch's voice was quiet, probing.
"Nobody loves rules."
"Is that so?"
"You don't love them. You accept them. That's what you do, and that's what I do. And if you hate the rules so much," Suzaku said, still not showing a crack in his armor, "I suggest you grow up and change them yourself."
Lelouch narrowed his eyes at him. Suzaku met his gaze, full and unpertrubed.
"Aren't you ever the moral and righteous knight, sensei?" Lelouch's voice was just a little bit short of seething.
A shrug started somewhere in his shoulders, then, as if it was all too much work, collapsed mid-movement, shoulders falling back to their original position. "Maybe something like that."
"I did a bit of background checking on you," Lelouch said. "Son of the former Prime Minister, aren't you? Great man, from what I hear."
Something in Suzaku's eyes darkened. "What about him?"
"Oh, I just wanted to know who raised such a fine young man, is all," Lelouch said. "Nothing to be ashamed of having been quasi-nobility once, I mean. Though it must make the fall that much harder to take."
"Do not," Suzaku said, voice suddenly hard as stone, all good will drained from his face to leave a mask of apathy behind that could rival Lelouch's own, "talk about my father."
The moment detached itself and hung there; him half-naked with his towel wrapped around him and the teacher with his eyes firmly trained on his face. And then, when the neurons in Lelouch's bain finally frizzled to life and ventured into its complex journey of meaning and interpretation, then, just like a bloodhound raising its nose at the first drops of blood in the air, Lelouch knew, with absolute certainty, that there was something.
Something. Something this guy was hiding. Something significant. Lelouch didn't know what it was and he didn't know how he knew, but he caught on to the trail instinctively, saw it lurking somewhere beneath the shimmering veneer of his moralized armor, saw it twinkling like a gem stone beyond the hard, cold surface of a jewelry store's window.
Knew it was there.
And now it was only a matter of finding out what it was. And thankfully, that hiking trip would provide ample opportunity to find it out -- and crush him with it.
"Fine," Lelouch said, pleased with himself. He had him now. "Fine. If you want a moral victory -- I'll give it to you." Only a matter of time.
The, "But only the moral one," remained unspoken but implicit.
"Too kind of you, Lelouch vi Britannia," Suzaku said, voice tight, seemingly close to losing his patience with Lelouch. "Was there anything else you wanted?"
Lelouch licked his lips and thought. "No, not for the moment, no. Thank you. I think I learned something important today."
Suzaku just gave him a long, tunneling look, and said nothing.
Lelouch could still feel his eyes on him when he shrugged into his clothes, but he didn't know how to place it.

C.C. was watching him from the doorway, leaning against it with her arms crossed. "You know, considering you're only going to be at Mt. Fuji for two days, you're packing a lot of clothes."
Lelouch ignored her, and folded another pair of black slacks before putting them into his luggage.
"One could almost think you were a girl," she said. "Though who would ever make that mistake, I'm not sure."
"You're not funny," Lelouch said. "Or original."
She shrugged. "I was going for 'irritating,' personally."
He looked up at her then, shaking his head a little to free his vision from a fringe of black hair that had fallen over it. "Did you get it?"
She looked at him for a moment. Then shrugged and walked over until she was standing right in front of him, peering down at him with her unreadable eyes.
Something glinted in the hand she was holding out to him. Green. A vial.
"Truth serum?" he asked.
"Yes. Give it to him and he'll spill. If you know how to ask the right questions."
"I do," he said, as if that was a really stupid question. "Of course I do."
"I'm glad," she said, and there was a caustic little smile on her face that really bothered Lelouch for some reason.
When he reached for it, she flicked her hand away, holding the vial out of his reach. "So eager," she teased.
"Give it to me already."
"Wish you'd say that one more often," she sighed.
He got up then, and easily wrestled the vial from her with his superior height.
"Don't you wish you had the power to make people do everything you wanted," she mused. "How convenient would that be. If you could, say, make people do what you wanted with a simple command. Wouldn't you love a power like that, huh?"
"I don't need any strange powers." He looked at the vial in his hand, then closed his fist around it. "I can do it all myself."
She gave him perhaps the strangest look he'd ever seen on her. Then she shrugged, and turned away, and when she spoke again it almost in a singsong, "Don't say I didn't ask later~"
Lelouch watched her skip away and shook his head.
Author's Notes: Sorry this is not so much Great Teacher Onizaku (btw haven't read that), but more... really fucked up. LOL. I'm sorry if that's not exactly what you wanted, OP, but I feel that Suzaku is such a moral person tha it would be simply too OOC for him to ever touch a student -- unless he was manipulated into it. Hence, Lelouch being a sly bastard in this.
Anyway. This is chapter 1 so far; I'll get around to writing/posting chapter 2 soon-ish.
Sorry for the surprise!Lelouch/C.C. too. XD

Actually, the inspiration for the prompt was the beginning of R2, where Violetta chased after Lelouch. I imagined Suzaku in her place and went "lol, I want to read this".
OP never minds Lelouch/CC and, yes, I figured Suzaku would have to be manipulated or provoked into the touching business.
Just please don't do a downer - let them do some bonding at the end, not end up hating each other's guts, of posssible.

Not a completely happy ending (I don't even see HOW that would be possible), but not a total downer. XD
PS: It's not really a truth serum. CC is sneakay.

Secondly, LOVE. SO MUCH LOVE. This anon was just whining in her personal journal about how much she missed writing and so forth, BUT this pretty much cheered her up (Odd, how I'm using third person now in reference to myself).
Your writing just always inspires me in a good way because it's so ... captivating and easy to read. One can always tell that you're really into it, which imo, is sometimes the only effective way of judging a fic's quality. Something that lacks heart just isn't good.
I think you made the right decision by not having Suzaku give in at once. He is moral and righteous, to the point of being stubborn. He wouldn't just give in like that. I'm really curious just how far Lelouch will have to push his buttons to get his bidding done.
I don't really mind the surprise! Lelouch/C.C here (sorry if I initially gave the impression I did :/): it's pretty believably done, them both obviously stuck in a selfish, co-dependent relationship. And there's nothing wrong with sex that's all about selfishness and just using each other. It's kind of hot, in fact.
I like the way you incorporate canon here. It's AU yes, but doesn't feel too far removed from the original tone of the series. I especially like your hints of C.C possessing the Geass power XD.
Anon can't think of anything else to say and hopes you don't mind all the stupid typos.

fff, you saying I'm 'really into it' makes this sound lot kinkier than it is. I SWEAR MY HANDS ARE ON THE KEYBOARD WHEN I WRITE.
ilu bb~ XD

I really like your Suzaku. He's upstanding, moral, heroic (faking it)... I want to see him break! And your Lelouch is positively wicked. It would be lovely if he got what he wanted in the absolute worst way.
C.C. is IC, which means she's fantastic and steals every sceene she's in. :p
THE PLOT THICKENS!

It's always kinda hard for me to imagine Lelouch being seductive or involved with anyone (even CC) though, because it's been implicated he's completely uninterested in these things, so the surprise!Lelouch/CC was kinda strange to me but then again it's not like we're not used to shippings from fandom! XD It doesn't really bother me that much though and I'm looking forward to the Suzaku/Lelouch part.
And also lol at the gureato accento!

This Lelouch is a lot snobbier, more arrogant, and not nearly as warm since he never met Suzaku as as a kid, never had Nunnally to take care of (since she wasn't crippled), and was basically just raised like a racing horse to maybe one day be the heir -- I thought under the given circumstances it was fair to make him a bit more forthcoming. :)
Just to explain my reasoning! No offense taken or given, I hope.
Thanks for the comment!

Oh, really, anon? That's interesting. I didn't know that.
I guess I can see it both ways. I just kind of figured that if Lelouch had never learned kindness from Nunnally and Suzaku (and learned to take responsibility for his little sister), he would be a lot more like the rest of his family, and especially a lot more like Schneizel. I'm not sure how pure you can be in this fucked-up family? (The only pure one is Euphemia, and she probably owes a lot of that to being overprotected by Cornelia, I figure...)
But in any case, it's an interesting thought experiment, not saying I'm entirely opposed to pure!Ouji-sama Lelouch. ^_^ Thanks for pointing this out, though.

We really know she had a callous and cold side, but may be she would've remained a good mother if didn't have to use her children to move the Ragnarok Connection forward. (aka if V.V. didn't kill her). Who knows!!
Anyway looking fwd to the outcome of the truth serum w!a.
