The Knight observed the shaking lump that was Koneko. "Afraid of the storm?" He asked, already knowing the answer. The lump shifted and he felt Koneko crawl over his legs until he was staring down at the white-haired Devil that was hiding underneath his blankets.
Her head refused to leave the confines of his blankets as she stared up at him balefully. She was seated comfortably on his thighs with the blanket completely draped over her head, making it look like she was wearing some sort of cloak.
"I don't like thunder." Koneko admitted with a blush as she avoided looking Lelouch in the eye. "So I thought I'd come down to sleep with you, if you didn't mind." The quiet, hopeful voice and her choice in sleepwear were causing certain reactions Lelouch was trying to clamp down on as he attempted to maintain control over his body.
Her pajamas were less risqué than the last pair Lelouch had seen her in, but they still forced him to exercise a greater amount of self-control over his body if he didn't want to reveal the effect Koneko's appearance had on him.
The Nekoshou was wearing clear, flower patterned stockings that had red ribbons tied around her lower thigh and there was a strap that went up under the skirt to keep the stockings from bunching up.
She was also wearing a short-sleeved black nightie, thankfully for his self-control not see-through, that had white ruffles and a ruby in the center of her neckline.
The nightie's skirt was riding rather high on her thighs as Koneko refused to move from her position on his lap, creating a tantalizing effect of showing nothing but promising more.
Lelouch groaned quietly and plopped himself back down on the bed. Why the hell did he suddenly have hormones? This fifteen year old Devil had brought more feelings out of him physically than anyone except for C.C. and Kallen.
Focusing on controlling his physical reaction below the belt, he responded to Koneko's request. "Fine, make yourself comfortable." He came to regret his choice of words immediately as he found himself becoming the replacement for the pillow Koneko had dropped onto the floor.
The blanket covered her completely, but Lelouch felt Koneko resting her head on his shoulder and shifting around to get comfortable.
The squirming of the teenaged Devil almost broke his self-control, but he managed to prevent his body from reacting to the young womanly form crawling all over him.
Koneko pulled the blanket down slightly so that her head was poking out from her makeshift cocoon and she stared at him with a blush.
"Your heart's beating really fast." Her ears, which had been droopy ever since she mentioned the thunder, twitched as they perked up for a moment before another crash of thunder made Koneko flinch and they pressed against the top of her head.
The white-haired Rook mewled in fear slightly before she felt Lelouch's hand brush against her head comfortingly. The back of Koneko's throat vibrated as she started to purr, relishing in Lelouch's ministrations.
Lelouch gently scraped his nails along Koneko's scalp as he ran his fingers through her hair, eliciting a sound of cat-like satisfaction from her before he sighed.
He could control his erection well enough to the point where it wouldn't arise, but it seemed his heart betrayed the way Koneko was making him feel with this intimate contact. "I can't help it, you're squirming on top of me." He retorted quietly, his fingers brushing the back of her neck before he returned his attention to her hair.
Koneko giggled slightly, happy to know that she could draw out this kind of reaction from Lelouch despite her lack of certain gifts compared to her other friends.
"What was your nightmare about?" Koneko asked as she snuggled into Lelouch's body, enjoying the feeling of having one of his hands petting her on top of her head. She hoped that, by asking this, she could offer some comfort to Lelouch and help him work through whatever had awakened him.
He felt the sensation of a blade tearing through his chest and the screams of despair from his beloved little sister echoed in his mind. Lelouch tightened his grip on Koneko as he shivered before he answered her question. He burrowed his nose into her hair, anchoring himself to the present, as he responded to her question truthfully.
"I was dreaming of the day I died."
Another bolt of lightning lit up the room and thunder rumbled in the sky, unintentionally making Lelouch's statement far more dramatic than he intended. Koneko shook in response to the thunder, prompting Lelouch to begin rubbing small circles on the back of her neck and her lower back in an effort to calm her down.
He didn't want her to reflexively let out her claws and dig into him.
Koneko bit her lip and traced her finger over the scar on Lelouch's chest, gently brushing it with the tip of her finger to feel out the pattern. "Which time?" She murmured, causing Lelouch to tense up.
"The priest who possessed you, Unas, he implied you died twice." The teenager explained, her tone careful. "Is it true? Is that where you got this scar from?" Koneko developed a hitch in her voice as she whispered her last question.
Lelouch remained silent for a few minutes, cursing that parasite countless times in the confines of his mind. What else did that bastard reveal while he had access to Lelouch's memories?
He would have to play this carefully. "I was killed once before." He admitted quietly. He pet Koneko gently as she started to tremble and continued. "I don't know how I survived, but it was before I came to live in Kuoh.
Lelouch hoped that would be sufficient enough, he didn't want to reveal more without knowing how much Koneko, and perhaps the others, already knew or deduced on their own.
Koneko took a deep breath as she kept paying attention to Lelouch's heartbeat. Nothing he had said was a lie, not exactly. But it was clear he was hiding far more than he was telling.
