[Not careful enough, apparently. And yes Suzaku, you'll always be the person who cleans up after his messes...you'll never get out of that one.]
Oh? [He can't help but feel a little more uncomfortable, although he doesn't show it.] Considering she hasn't made contact yet, could I venture to say that you denied it?
[ Right. He'll just lift his gaze a little as if to say, 'Uh huh. Sure you were.'
And considering the messes Lelouch does make, you're only making his life harder. Thanks former!BFF. ]
I didn't deny it, nor did I agree. But this wasn't for your sake, I did it for Nunnally's.
As of right now I am to monitor and personally handle anything you may attempt to do. That is what I said to Nura and I am keeping with our earlier conversation. Hopefully you won't be stupid enough to try anything.
[This is what you get for being my bff man. I've got you in but there's no way out~
Lelouch does look relieved at Suzaku's answer -- if only for Nunnally, he could be fine with that.] ...Thank you.
[Yeah, probably didn't expect that did you? But he does raise an eyebrow at his next statements.] I have no intention of doing anything here unless it's necessary.
[Aka: if something happens to Nunnally. The usual.]
Though, you're used to monitoring me, aren't you? [Oh, there's the sarcasm.]
[ Screw this. That wasn't in the contract. You can't bring me down~
His gaze turns downward, not responding to the gratitude. Instead, in a low voice; ] Lelouch, what I said before... I would never do anything to her. You know that, right?
[ And he means it, too. It seems like the last time they spoke, that message really didn't go in all the way. Hello another sleepless night~ ]
You should just lie low. If something comes up, other people can handle it. Don't get yourself too involve that could cause you to get in more trouble.
[ A small huff of air. Almost as if he was trying to chuckle. ] Someone has to.
[Read the fine print next time. Welcome to the masquerade~
...Of course Suzaku brought that up.] ...I lost my temper.
[And that's all he has to say about that. Yay for sleepless nights!]
Really, under other circumstances, I'd think that you're worried. [Smiiirk.] But I know better. Now that you've told Nura that you'll watch me, you can't afford to let me do anything. We couldn't risk your reputation, could we?
[ Stupid hidden contracts. B| Get ready for the smack dooown!
Well, duh. Suzaku knew that much. Lelouch? Lose his temper? Never. ] Right. [ Alright, he can deal with that as an answer. ]
What gave you that idea? [ Worried? Not a chance. ] This isn't about reputation, it's about keeping people safe. I won't allow others to fall victim to your mishaps.
Can't have you going around doing whatever you want, right?
[Just read them better next time~ put the pedal to the metal 'cause the storm is coming~]
How foolish of me. Because you'd never put yourself in a position to do anything to gain more power. [Two instances that he can think of off the top of his head, and one hasn't exactly happened yet.]
I suppose you can't. But I can say that it'll be boring this time.
Well. He's ready for it.]
And what do you need to speak to me about, Suzaku?
[At least he's not trying to make the other boy angry. Though since Nura hasn't come after him, he's going to assume that Suzaku didn't say anything.]
Reply
[ His expression is nearly blank, but there was really no hint of anger. ]
I spoke to Nura. [ A beat. ] Lelouch, what did you do?
Reply
He rubs his forehead a little, and sighs.]
Nothing of consequence. It was a small mistake that she caught, is all. I had no idea that she would take things this far.
[He really should stop underestimating her.]
What did she say to you?
Reply
[ Not because he was concerned about you, but because he doesn't want to pick up your slack you're trailing behind.
Now Suzaku gives a sigh of his own. ]
She was trying to prove you if were a murderer.

[So says the one worried about his own skin.]
Or they think they have to.

Very funny, as if you could be talking. [ He knows the first one, alright. You had that one coming to you, boy. ]
I can handle boring.

I never said I was exempt. [But. But they were bros. ;;]
It should be a nice reprieve for you, with what awaits you at home. [Just...dropped that little piece of bait there.]
Reply
You would be lying if you did. [ Were bros.
But wait- ] Back home? What do you mean by that?
Reply
I would never do that. [Sarcasm. There it is again.
He shrugs.] They haven't told you?
Reply
You get an eye roll and a huff Lelouch. Double combo.
Face hardens juuust a little, but no. He's not going to lose his cool. ] I wouldn't be asking if they did, now would I?
