Chapter 12

Several months later . . .
"Oi! Give that back, Levi!" Suzaku shouted.
"Meow." the neko teased, sitting just out of his fathers reach, holding the Zero helmet. His brown hair curled in little rosettes all over his head, and his spotted tail swished behind him. It was amazing, the fact that six months translated to almost three years old for nekos.
"Levi."
The cub cringed. "Yes, mama." he said, trying to look innocent.
Lelouch stepped into the room, holding Izaya on his hip. "Give your father his helmet."
Levi frowned. "Why's daddy hide his face?"
Suzaku took the helmet back. "It's because this way, each person can see themselves as possibly being Zero."
Izaya rubbed his eye, looking at his father. He was being clingy, and it was understandable why. His leg, the one that had been twisted at birth, was in a brace to try and fix it. "Down." he mumbled.
Lelouch put him down and came around behind Suzaku. "So?"
"I still don't see why they won't stay in the play room." Suzaku replied. He finished his work on the computer.
"It's probably something to so with Clovis." Lelouch replied.
"He's noisy, and loud, and doesn't do anything." said Levi. "And he poopies all the time."
Izaya wobbled where he stood, falling flat on his butt. He sighed and looked at Lelouch. "Kitty?"
"No, Izaya." He sighed and walked over. "Your leg isn't better yet."
The boy pouted, letting his strait black locks fall in his face. While not a Black Leopard like Lelouch, he was a darker color once in cat form. "Up." He held his hands up.
"No, Izaya. You have to stay on the floor for now."
Levi walked over and pushed Izaya over. He grinned, only to get his tail pulled. "ROWR!"
Lelouch frowned at him. "Apologize."
"He's more fun down." said Levi. "Then I can play with him." He tossed his ball at Izaya. "See?"
"You don't have to push him." Lelouch sighed and walked back to Suzaku. "I'll be glad when they're weaned."
"You pamper them too much." Suzaku returned. "Jodi said they should have been weaned by now." He looked under his desk. "What are you doing?"
Lelouch put a finger to his lips and lay down to sleep. He peeked up at Suzaku as the other went back to work and sighed.
There was a knock at the door. "Zero?"
Suzaku sighed. "Come in, Cornelia." He looked down at Lelouch, who seemed to be sleeping.
"I thought they'd come in here again." The princess picked both cubs up. "Come on. Zero needs to work, and you two need to stay out of this office."
"Daddy!" cried Levi, waving his arms towards his father.
"I'll come get you once work is done." said Suzaku. He sighed as the door closed, looking down quickly as something tugged him out of his pants. "Lelouch!"
Lelouch put his finger to his lips again, then carefully licked Suzaku's hard on. "You haven't been getting off lately, have you?" he asked cheekily. He licked the tip, grinning when Suzaku hissed.
"Oh, come off it. You aren't riding it lately." Suzaku returned. He hissed as Lelouch sucked lightly on the head. "Damn, you're still good at this, aren't you?"
Lelouch grinned up at him, letting one of his incisors lightly scrape the hard flesh. "Don't worry, Love. I'll help ease your suffering."
Suzaku groaned. "Yeah, go right ahead." It looked like the rest of his work was going to have to wait.
