His original intention was to wait for Suzaku so they could have that long due conversation.

But now Lelouch had been waiting outside for a long while, paralyzed by the simple view of the building. He knew that place. And just standing in its looming shadow sent very loud alarms all over his very being.

Holding the pet carrying case tightly against his chest, he simply couldn't move, speak or even breathe.

Suzaku suddenly noticed that someone was there. But it was too dark to see for sure, he flashed the light of the cellphone towards the shadow, one hand reaching towards the gun that was hidden by the cloak.

Suzaku's eyes widened. It was Lelouch. But why was he here? At this time of the night? He shouldn't be here, he should be at his apartmet, playing with Arthur or something. Maybe Lelouch got lost. No, it's Lelouch, he wouldn't get lost, and end up here of all places. Maybe Lelouch needed to visit here. Why?

Calming himself down mentally, he walked over to the frozen Lelouch. Why was he frozen in the first place? It isn't a normal reaction.

"Lelouch..? What are you doing here?" Suzaku asked, as kindly as he could, trying hard to hide his suspicions.

It was Suzaku's voice that brought him back. Startled, he moved his eyes from the building to Suzaku and then handled him Arthur's cage, flustered.

"Your cat. And we need to talk."

He started walking to Suzaku's apartment without looking back.

Suzaku took the cage without a word. Normally, he would have rejoiced to be able to be reunited with his pet, but this wasn't the time now.

We need to talk. Can it be that Lelouch..?

Suzaku didn't move. "Lelouch, how come you knew I was here?" he asked, in a suspicious tone. He had only told a few people he would be here, and those people were not the type Lelouch could easily get to and ask questions.
