Lelouch was honestly too tired to care about any of that. Right now, all he wanted was to crawl under the covers and sleep, and now that he'd gotten "permission" from his knight (unheard of!), he was fully prepared to do exactly that. It was about damn time, as far as he was concerned.
Rather than saying that, though, Lelouch made a big show of sighing and muttering, "Yeah, yeah, I will." He considered tacking on some remark about how this was exactly the sort of insubordination he'd wanted to avoid, but he couldn't quite summon the energy for it. This day needed to end already.
He turned away, finally stretching out on his bed and starting to pull the covers over himself. He was beyond caring that Suzaku was still in his room and watching him by this point, both because of how utterly fatigued he was and the trust that existed between them. It may have mostly been the former, but that trust was still something he wanted to protect now more than ever. He couldn't lose it or Suzaku again.
"I don't mind if you stay," he added, glancing over at his knight. "I doubt you'd leave if I told you to anyway."
