Story: Tricked Himself

All truth told, things were off to a pretty good start for Lelouch. With the intelligence of Nina Einstein and the perverted mind of Milly Ashford already under his thrall, he could well and truly set upon the path to perversion with a minimum of fuss.

Alas, there was one major problem. His Geass had certain limitations in its use. He could use it but once on a given person at a time, it relied upon direct eye contact, and C.C. was completely immune. This made things quite challenging, as he'd already made use of it on three women who would have made quite excellent fodder for his soon to be growing harem: The pretty maid Sayoko to help him cover up his mistake with Kallen. Shirley, to help her recover from her ordeal with Mao. And Kallen, who he had extracted information from before he knew his power only worked on a person once.

Both Rivalz and Suzaku were in the clear as it was. He had not compelled them to do anything yet. Not that he had an interest in men to begin with, but... Perhaps he could use them as proxies in some way? Currently he was considering plans on how to make certain <i>adjustments</i> to the school. The best way would probably be to target the staff, teachers and headmaster. That way he could be the one to make decisions regarding school politics, create events to help in his plans and just generally make everything easier for his harem plan.

Then once he had established the Academy as his own personal den of iniquity, he could use the students and faculty to spread out his influence, bringing still others under his sway...

"Hey Lelouch, do you have a minute?"

That was Suzaku calling. Oh yes. Dear Suzaku, one of his closest friends. A more straight-laced person you might never find. He also had military access. As in, he directly interacted on a regular basis with Princess Euphemia li Britannia - hence providing Lelouch with easy access to Cornelia if he'd only take advantage of it.

Now, normally this was something Lelouch would not have done. He regarded Suzaku as a genuine friend, and would not easily use Geass on him. However, Lelouch was not in his normal state of mind at this moment. He was compelled towards perversion, and so he would take actions that he might not normally take. The only thing stopping him from using his Geass right this moment was that he needed to make sure he timed it properly. Make absolutely sure that he had Suzaku make the right move at the right time, necessitating the proper Geass to use.

Well, that's what Lelouch was thinking at the time. He hadn't quite worked out yet that his Geass was running amok. Though he would in the very near future. At least this time the consequences wouldn't result in something called the Massacre Princess...

“So, I kinda wanted to talk about Nina.. I think she is doing some kind of weird experiments. She has been really distracted today and been working with a crazy focus. Do you have any idea what got her act like this?” Suzaku asked, sounding seriously worried for the young scientist.

Well, that was quick. He'd only given Nina that instruction yesterday. He probably should have told her to not overdo it.

"It's probably nothing," Lelouch shrugged. He shook his head while doing so, causing him to break eye contact with Suzaku. "Nina's always been a bit of a workaholic."

"I don't know, this seems unhealthy," Suzaku said. "When I tried to ask her for help, she pushed me out of the lab. I've not seen her act like that before."

"I'll have a word with her then," Lelouch said. "I think you're worrying too much. <b>You should be more supportive to your friends.</b>"

And then, he saw Suzaku visibly relax a bit. "Yeah, you're right. I should be more supportive to my friends."

Now, that got Lelouch concerned right away. Suzaku was as stubborn as they come. He wouldn't back down that easily. In fact, Lelouch had been intending to gently guide Suzaku into letting him take care of it, so he could have a discrete word with Nina about how she came across.

There were two possibilities that made sense. First that Suzaku was faking that he was going to ignore this. All while in truth taking the chance to stealthily follow Nina later on to find out what was going on. It would explain the sudden switch, Suzaku was not really the sort of person he would call a skilled actor. Then again, he wasn't the sort to do something so underhanded either.

The second, that he'd accidentally... In which case, he absolutely had to test it.

"Well, I'm pleased to hear you say that," Lelouch said. He chuckled a little bit while watching Suzaku carefully. His reaction here would be extremely telling. "Because Nina was hoping for the chance to speak to Euphemia, and I thought you'd be the best shot to set that up."

Alright. There we go. If his assumption was wrong, he'd play it off as a harmless joke.

“Oh, sure. That sounds like it could be fun," Suzaku said. "I'm sure the two of them will have a lot to talk about, and it absolutely wouldn't be a betrayal of my position of authority to help a friend get close to her rather obvious crush."

On the other hand, he may have unwittingly created a monster.

<hr>

Milly Ashford had always had a bit of a perverted bent to her. How was it Shirley described her again, a dirty old man in a young girl's body? Make that a young girl's voluptuous body and you'd be onto something. Yesterday was something of an epiphany for her. Until now she'd have been satisfied setting up Lelouch with Shirley. They'd be nice. Take the edge off each other. And with both of them focused on each other, she would be able to concentrate on her own things unmolested.

Now though... now she was hell bent on helping Lelouch to embrace his inner pervert by any means necessary. Nina was already on board. Ah, it was so refreshing to see that girl come out of her shell a little. Now, that left Kallen and Shirley to get aboard the Lelou train. Both of them clearly had a bit of an attraction to him. Yet neither one quite wanted to act on it. Of course once the main group was ready, she could go even <i>further.</i>

Lelouch had told her to make him a better pervert. He had never mentioned a limit or a finishing spot. He'd already pretty much mastered the art of 'touching' a woman under her tutelage, but that wasn't good enough. She had to make him a better pervert. She would have to make him a better pervert for the rest of her life. First casual sex. Then threesomes. Harems. Yes, harems plural. Public orgies. The list goes on. He'd have to get better and better at being a pervert under her care and direction, because that was what was imprinted in her brain.

"Um... Milly?" Kallen asked. "Do we have to wear these?"

"Nyaaaa! Whatever do you mean?" Milly asked. "Don't tell me, Kallen. We've not had a cosplay day since you joined the council?"

"I don't know, this seems a little more than usual," Shirley complained.

They weren't wrong. Usually Milly kept the naughtier outfits for her own personal amusement. Not so much today! Right now the three girls were all wearing snug leotards a variety of animal ears, tails and gloves shaped like paws. Milly padded along the ground on all fours, looking over at the bunny and the dog otherwise known as Kallen and Shirley.

"Well, nya! You two seemed a little stressed out," Milly said, rubbing her cheek against Shirley's thigh. "It seemed to me like you needed a little something to calm you down, nya."

"If that's the case then it's a really good idea," Kallen nodded. "Except for the part where it's not working at all! What if I'm seen wearing something this silly in public, I'll never live it down!"

"Hmph." Milly huffed and rose up to her full height. "Okay! I hadn't wanted to resort to this, but it looks like I'll have to bring out the big guns."

"We're not stressed," Shirley sniffed. Aw, look at her trying to cover her breasts with her arms. That's adorable! "I don't know where you're getting it from."

"Now, now. You'll like this idea a lot more," Milly said. "I so happen to know that our dear thoughtful vice president has been secretly taking massage lessons -"

"Pass!" both Kallen and Shirley said at once. Wow. They were even both making an X gesture with their arms.

"You're obviously setting him up for something," Kallen said.

"That's right!" Shirley nodded. "It's just like you to torment someone like that! I don't even know Lelouch all that well."

Ah, still going with that? Whatever fight they'd had must have been a big one. But Milly didn't mind. She was sure she could bring the two of them around. Then once he had his hands on them - oh, they'd melt like butter.

“Oh, do you really think little Lelou would do anything untoward? Why, truly how sad, I will have to tell him you didn’t want to help him with his training then.” Milly turned her head and gave a disappointed sniffle.

"Training...?" Kallen asked. "What sort of training is that lazy boy up to?"

"Why, what else?" Milly shrugged. "He's trying to learn ways to keep people comfortable. If he can learn how to do an effective massage, he could even make sure that his beloved little sister is carefully looked after. I'd say that's worth something, right?"

“Well.. I don’t think he would do anything questionable if it is for Nunnally..” Shirley relented with some hesitation. Even if Milly was trying to trick him, as long as they asked him first this should be fine. It wasn’t like Lelouch was planning to do anything fishy, this was all some kind of prank Milly was putting up for them. That was the line of logic they were following. Combine that with the fact that Rivalz ought to be busy for at least the next hour, and everything was in place.

Except for the fact that Lelouch wasn't here.

<hr>

On arriving at Nina's laboratory, Suzaku rather felt that he ought to say something about her manner of attire. This normally mousey and quiet girl didn't usually wear oddities like this, and it seemed inappropriate, unprofessional. Shouldn't she be wearing something under that lab coat? Or at least tying it up?

However, Suzaku knew better now. He understood that he should be more supportive of his friends. There was no reason to be all stressed out, he should relax and get along with everyone, try to help as well as he could.

"Oh... Hi Suzaku," she said, closing up her coat. "Um, as I said before I'm quite busy - "


"It's quite alright Nina. Suzaku is here to help in my quest to build a harem. Isn't that right, Suzaku?"

Build a harem? That seemed both out of character and something he shouldn't - Then again, Lelouch was his friend so he should relax and get along with him, help out in any way that he could.

"Sure thing. What do you need?"

That seemed to make them both happy, which was good. There was no need to get hung up on little details when he could just have a good time with everyone.

"Let's start with a status report," Lelouch said. "How is your research into aphrodisiacs proceeding?"

"Well, I've only just started," Nina admitted. "And biology isn't my strong suit. I had to spend the first hour catching up to modern developments. I've only just started on experiments into human sex pheromones, really it would be helpful if you could get me some experts in the area.”

Experts, huh? Well, the main research lab for Lancelot was right across the road and it was military grade tech with some of the best scientists in the Area working for them. Suzaku nodded, understanding exactly what Nina needed.

"I'll go get some. Be right back."

And then he began to run. Behind him, Lelouch's face fell, completely unnoticed by Suzaku.

"You'll get some? Wait, Suzaku! Hold up! What do you mean you'll get some?"

What, you didn't think that Geass would go perfectly in his favour did you? Pay attention, dear reader. This <i>is</i> Lelouch we're talking about...

1. Somehow Lelouch is able to keep Suzaku from kidnapping Lloyd, Cecile and any other scientists he can get his helpful hands on.
2. Lelouch gives chase, but really he doesn't stand a chance of catching up with him. Damage control time!
3. Lelouch gives chase-  but is snatched by Milly so he can massage the girls.
4. Something else
