@obligeas said:  He trusts Suzaku. Lelouch trusts Suzaku so much it hurts when his friend turns the gun on him and attempts to make him into his enemy. Why can’t you see – we’re supposed to be on the same side, you pathetic fool. I hate that you fight for Britannia. For her. Lelouch is jealous of Suzaku’s loyalty to the now-dead Euphemia; he’s accepting that, slowly but surely. “Open your damn eyes, Suzaku! Do you want to be treated like a dog?!” (i guess end of R1) / who exactly are you to talk!

     Angry.

     Very motherfucking angry.

     It’s a feeling that still eats away at Suzaku, rots his insides like an acid. Corrosive. And in the anger, there’s something more tame. A bitter sadness and disappointment. The harsh sting of betrayal that feels like a knife twisting in his gut ( a feeling that makes him wince – he remembers his father and the knife in tiny hands, the blood that coated his fingers then and has remained with him for seven years ). It’s an amalgam of emotion that makes him nauseated, lips pulled in a hard frown as he keeps the barrel pointed in Lelouch’s direction. As he keeps emerald eyes narrowed, brows knitted together in the sorrow, the defeat he feels.

everything . hurts

There’s blood pooling underneath him and Lelouch can’t do anything but feel the life seep out of him -- it drains, inch by inch, and he stares up at Nunnally, beloved little sister, so glad to see her eyes again, that brilliant violet. When did she get so old? He remembers holding her after she was born. A tiny, frail thing...and now....such a strong woman she’s become. He reaches up for her cheek and touches it, a stain of crimson following suit.

That was the plan, he wants to say, please see it through for me, but the power of speech is beginning to elude him. Lelouch’s theatrics are coming to an end. “...I’m glad.......you were always......so smart.”

The words he said to her were like Daggers, there was a moment there where she truly believed she had lost her beloved brother to EVIL, however when he said those words she began to tear up, softly beginning to sob and sniffle as she shook her head tears dripping down her cheeks. ‘ No….my Oniisan…I’m sorry for ever believing you to be evil…now I understand why you did what you did….’

❛ You would have gone without me ? ❜

The question is small and meek – not an emotion Lelouch is used to associating with Heidi. He looks at her, confused. “…What are you talking about?” She who taught him how to get along with horses, who laughed at the nobles alongside him, who looked at him as if he were a person and not just another name to be worn around someone’s neck. “The monastery will fall soon,” he’s seen the signs. There is too much action. The Flame Emperor is planning something, and they will not be spared in his wrath.

Lelouch plans to disappear before they get the chance. He can’t endanger Nunnally. But Heidi knows him too well now…perhaps it was his lack of conversation that gave him away. “I want you to come with me,” he replies, squaring his shoulders to face his companion. “You don’t deserve to be a pawn in their game.”

"the season's long passed for them, but you remember, right?" suzaku speaks a bundle of sunflowers in his hands, "when we were younger. there were a lot of these." it's a nervous laugh that finds itself on his breath, bashful as he glances away with color finding itself in his cheeks. "... happy birthday, lelouch."

                   …………………………

    The emperor takes the flowers from Suzaku’s hands. The petals feel waxy and too real despite their faux yellow. He blinks at them as if blinded. “How long have you held onto these, Suzaku?” He asks, staring at the bundle of goldenrod between his fingers, “These only grow in the summer.”

                    ( i know why you’re here )

    The flowers wilt. ( there’s no beauty in death ; a fact lelouch has grown acquainted with, his lips reddened with the taste of his own ; how many years have passed? ) There’s a long shudder rippling through them and then their necks crack, stalks weeping low and heavy around Lelouch’s hands. One sheds a petal, then two, then all of them follow suit, crying brown fauna onto the grass.

    Hands falling back to Lelouch’s side, he permits the stalks to tumble out of his fingers and fall to the ground. ( there’s no elegance in living off of borrowed time , suzaku ) They land unelegantly around him. Nothing but a bundle of grass.

    Lelouch presses the tips of his fingers against Suzaku’s forehead. They rest gently as if to press through the illusion his friend ( is it still fair to call you that ) has generated; all drugged-up and foggy with the memory of who the king once was, “You know this isn’t who I am. Not really.”

    Cape jaggedly blowing behind him, caught on a time gone by. Zero spreads his arms wide, baring teeth, a long and monstrous smile, the geass grinning down at Suzaku, “It’s not fair for you to remember me like this. I think I would prefer you see me as a monster———-,” if it meant you didn’t have to come back here, not like this, but he chokes on the words and swallows them down, opting instead to fixate callous eyes on the knight. How well he plays his part. It’s embedded into him, each cell rehearsing its movements with perfect timing.

even in the shadows of refrainlelouch vi britannia paints himself into the villainwilling hatred up from the world’s core

                                        “Get out, Suzaku. I don’t want you here.”

    For the fourth year in a row, Lelouch fastens his hands around Suzaku’s neck and squeezes.

you have to live.

I seriously love the depressing sibling drama between Lelouch and Nunnally, particularly the one that the new movie sequal gives me.

[obligeas]

❛ I know you. If I were blind I would know what you are. ❜ / rosa !

Zero stands, eclipsed by moonlight. The silhouette of his helmet cuts it into a thick crescent, beads of white trickling across caped shoulders. Becoming Zero has turned Lelouch into a lonely being who exists both between the world of the dead and the world of the living. Fodlan is falling to pieces. It’s been five years since Byleth’s absence.

But when Claude sent out a call, Lelouch found himself returning to the monastery against his will, despite Lelouch Lamperouge no longer existing – he is Zero, he is nothing more, he will never be anything more. The helmet has become his new face.

Rosa is the first to see him. He stands, waiting for her to ask him questions – who are you? – why are you here? – or perhaps even she has heard of Zero, the mercenary, who flies on the back of his wyvern and brings justice where no one else can walk. But it doesn’t come.

She approaches him and touches the back of a gloved hand with the very tip of her finger. Something registers, then. All the confirmation she needed. “I know you,” she says breathlessly, “If I were blind I would know what you are.” And then she reaches for Zero’s helmet.

Lelouch lets her.

Tired eyes greet her; one amethyst, unchanged, the other ever a burning pink, where Geass ripped into his body. He goes to hold her wrist, guiding it to his face. Permits for her to see where age and war have changed him. He’s not a tired boy anymore shirking his duties and playing chess. He is 23 and yet he is older than that. Then, delicately, his lips press to the inside of her wrist, where her pulse beats. “I can always count on you,” he breathes against her skin, missing this – missing her. “I wish we didn’t have to meet like this.”

[obligeas]

Hands reach to examine the origami crane Nunnally is working on--it does look ... off. Lelouch frowns and deconstructs it to the point where his sister messed up. Oh ------ I see.

He smiles and places the half-folded bit of paper back in front of her, gently taking hold of her hand and guiding it to the waxy material. “This fold,” Lelouch pauses, allowing for her to trace the crease herself, “I think it’s supposed to be in thirds, not halves.”

‘ Oh I think I messed this one up…perhaps I should try another.’

when a Nunnally and a Euphemia make blogs in the same week

[obligeas]

❛ I was innocent and wise and full of pain. ❜

C.C. does not talk about her past. And if not for Lelouch’s trip into her psyche there is a part of him that doubts he would learn much about her beyond her status as his watcher. He has a contract to fulfill and that’s what is important. Or at least that’s what HAD been important.

He wonders when they got so close, when C.C.’s words stopped being just that – words – and became shades of morning on an otherwise twilight backdrop. She gave him power and with it came color and happiness and finally, a person who understood him. The least Lelouch can do is understand her.

A finger traces the line underneath his chest, where people once cut into C.C.’s body. He remembers the pain he felt–knows it was only a fraction of the pain she felt. People can be horrible. Her past is a secret Lelouch cradles like a bird with a broken wing; knowing it can’t be put together. Knowing it will die.

[           ] is dead. The time for rebirth had long since passed, yielding the witch C.C. to the world’s unforgiving maw.

“The world loves to mistreat the innocent. It is that world we are fighting against, C.C.. So that the strong stop benefiting from the weak.” The bravado creeps into Lelouch’s larynx. The powerful have such abilities to reshape the world, a clay ball rolled between flat palms, squeezed into existence.

“So what are you now?” Lelouch inquires, pressing his hand into the palm of his hand. “You used ‘was,’ implying a past tense.” Shadows slide over his eyes as he tilts his head towards her inquiringly, glint of purple catching amidst dying light.

He continues before C.C. can dismiss the thought or respond with some indifferent comment as she always did. “I’ll venture a guess. You are strong. Time has made you strong. And it’s let you down, C.C., time should have let you be impetuous and silly and innocent…but this is the card fate’s dealt you. I think it’s time we challenged fate. I’m glad you’re on my side.”

GOD  the whiplash from Ed to Lelouch and i KNOW I make this post every time I get on this blog but JESUS CHRIST

[obligeas]

❛ We will perish together. ❜ :)

Oh woeful king, who stands with the world’s hatred burning on his shoulders, who embraces hate as he does his lover – who turns him into his right-hand man. Lelouch’s knuckles are red on pale skin, his fingers turning over the edge of his throne. Beside him: Suzaku. Knight. Friend. Enemy. The day discerns between these things; even Suzaku’s attitudes are irregular. Lelouch prefers the days where Suzaku treats him coldly. It’s only fair.

The day draws near.

Lelouch holds his head high like a king does. Vulnerability is not in his DNA; he was not blessed with time for such things, not from Charles, not from Marianne, certainly not from geass. The color fades before it reaches his eyes. Bug noises scratch the upside of his skull. Death lingers ; memento mori, wrapping loving fingers around his neck / waiting to tighten the noose.

Suzaku stirs beside him. The world snaps back into focus. “We will perish together.”

Lelouch swallows and sits straighter, a resolute nod accompanying his moves. He has been made into an emperor for his final hurrah. It is not his own death that waits for them with the completion of the Requiem – Suzaku gets to fulfill his dream, too, finally, in a sad, macabre way.

Part of Lelouch finds it a fate worse than his own. The other part of Lelouch is glad – he wants for Suzaku, at least, to live.

“…Do you remember?” He asks, boyhood cinching words together, “When we first met. Nunnally was on my back. She was so weak…we hadn’t seen a friendly face for days – and then we saw you. You threatened to beat me up if I didn’t tell you who I was. When I told you I was a vi Britannia, you looked so…angry. I couldn’t understand why. There were the bodies of the Japanese all around us and somehow, in my naivete, I refused to put two and two together.” He swallows and continues. He can feel the eyes of corpses upon him, beckoning further. “We aren’t those boys anymore, Suzaku. I refuse to be naive.”

“I want,” it’s selfish for him, the enemy of the world to want for anything but he does, “you to be reborn. I want you to stop hating yourself and to throw away the mantel of Suzaku Kururugi so you can face the world with fresh eyes. I want you…I want you to become the innocent child I once was. I wish you would look at things and find joy in them again. I want you to be Suzaku. No strings or family names or obligations attached.” and if Lelouch has to die for that, that’s a condition he’ll gladly accept.

❛  Unicorns? I thought they only existed in fairytales.  ❜

❛  This is a forest like any other. Isn’t it ?  ❜

❛  Let’s turn around. Hunt somewhere else.  ❜

❛  This is no world for you.  ❜

❛  Good luck to you, for you are the last.  ❜

❛  What do men know ?  ❜

❛  We are as old as the sky, old as the moon.  ❜

❛  We can be hunted, we can be trapped, we can even be killed but we do not vanish !  ❜

❛  Have you traveled very far ?  ❜

❛  Be a little respectful, do you know who I am ?  ❜

❛  Your name is a golden bell, hung in my heart.  ❜

❛  I would break my body to pieces to call you once by your name.  ❜

❛  In all your wanderings, have you seen others like me ?  ❜

❛  Have you seen the others? Where have they gone? Tell me which way I must go to find them.  ❜

❛  No, no, listen ! Don’t listen to me, listen !  ❜

❛  You can find the others if you are brave.  ❜

❛  What if they’re waiting for me ? In need of my help ?  ❜

❛  Well hello there little one !  ❜

❛  And just who might you belong to ? a pretty little thing like you ?  ❜

❛  In my heart I carry such a heavy load.  ❜

❛  And here I thought I’d seen the last of them !  ❜

❛  I know you. If I were blind I would know what you are.  ❜

❛  You wouldn’t have heard of me.  ❜

❛  It’s not much of a job for a real magician, but I’ve had worse.  ❜

❛  You’re mine. If you kill me, you’re still mine.  ❜

❛  Your death sits in that cage and she hears you.  ❜

❛  She’ll kill me one day or another, but she will remember forever that I caught her, that I held her prisoner. So there’s my immortality.  ❜

❛  You were out on the road hunting for your own death !  ❜

❛  He’ll not have you ! You belong to me.  ❜

❛  We are two sides of the same magic.  ❜

❛  You are safer here. You should thank me for protecting you.  ❜

❛  There has never been a spell on me before.  ❜

❛  It’s a very rare person who is taken for what he truly is.  ❜

❛  Will you help me ?  ❜

❛  You’re my last chance.  ❜

❛  Can you truly set me free ?  ❜

❛  I asked him a riddle and it always takes that lout all night to solve riddles.  ❜

❛  the spell was wrong but there was true magic in it ! try again.  ❜

❛  My dear you deserve the services of a great wizard but I’m afraid you’ll have to be glad of the aide of a second rate pickpocket.  ❜

❛  Okay, (name), I give up. Why is a raven like a writing desk ?  ❜

❛  She’ll kill you if you set her free !  ❜

❛  Don’t look back, and don’t run.  ❜

❛  You must never run from anything immortal, it attracts their attention.  ❜

❛  She chose her death long ago. It was the fate she wanted.  ❜

❛  You have no regrets as I do ?  ❜

❛  I’ve never seen anyone like you. Not while I was awake, anyway.  ❜

❛  I’m going where they are, to learn whatever they know.  ❜

❛  Take me with you ! for luck, for laughs, for the unknown.  ❜

❛  You could never have granted my true wish.  ❜

❛  I cannot turn you into something you are not.  ❜

❛  Hide yourself ! We’ll find each other later.  ❜

❛  Mind your heads now, it’s raining ninnies !  ❜

❛  Put me down you fool !  ❜

❛  I don’t like the look of him.  ❜

❛  That’s only (name)’s way, but she has a good heart.  ❜

❛  This is not happening.  ❜

❛  We’ll both be gentlemen of leisure in a months time.  ❜

❛  Oh, I love you.  ❜

❛  She shall never have you !  ❜

❛  We will perish together.  ❜

❛  Did you see me ? Were you watching ?  ❜

❛  Did you see what I made ?  ❜

❛  It’s gone now, but I had it !  ❜

❛  Where have you been ? Where have you been ! ?  ❜

❛  Where were you when I was new ?  ❜

❛  How dare you come to me now when I am this !  ❜

❛  It’s alright, I forgive you.  ❜

❛  You can’t come with us ! we’re on a quest !  ❜

❛  Well, you’re going the wrong way.  ❜

❛  You have all the power you need if you dare to look for it.  ❜

❛  What have you done ! ?  ❜

❛  The power will come to me whenever I need it, and one day! One day it will come to me when I call !  ❜

❛  You are an idiot !  ❜

❛  Don’t ! Don’t you hurt yourself !  ❜

❛  I can feel this body dying all around me !  ❜

❛  You are losing my interest, and that is very dangerous.  ❜

❛  I will keep nothing near me that does not make me happy.  ❜

❛  How would you know ?  ❜

❛  Well, just look at you !  ❜

❛  Come on, I’ll write you a reference.  ❜

❛  You have let your doom in by the front door !  ❜

❛  What are you looking at ?  ❜

❛  What is the matter with your eyes ?  ❜

❛  You may come and go as you please.  ❜

❛  My secrets guard themselves, may yours do the same.  ❜

❛  Please, let me help you. What can I do for you ?  ❜

❛  And then she looked at me and I was sorry I had killed the thing.  ❜

❛  For her sake I’ve become a hero but my great deeds mean nothing to her !  ❜

❛  I wish to be whatever she has most need of.  ❜

❛  You are cruel to him.  ❜

❛  He only wishes you to think of him.  ❜

❛  Who am I ? Why am I here ?  ❜

❛  I knew a moment ago, but I have forgotten.  ❜

❛  I was innocent and wise and full of pain.  ❜

❛  Now that I’m a woman, everything has changed.  ❜

❛  Why won’t you help me ? Why must you always speak in riddles ?  ❜

❛  I would tell you what you want to know if I could.  ❜

❛  I am always dreaming, even when I am awake. It is never finished.  ❜

❛  I would court you with more grace if I knew how.  ❜

❛  Drown out my dreams. Keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it.  ❜

❛  Words are always getting in my way.  ❜

❛  That’s all I have to tell you. That’s all I’ve got to say.  ❜

❛  I’m not a man of poetry. Music isn’t one with me.  ❜

❛  As if I didn’t have enough troubles.  ❜

❛  Well of course you’re of noble birth, anyone could see that.  ❜

❛  Love is slowing you down, my lady.  ❜

❛  It was pleasant enough at first, but it died quickly.  ❜

❛  There is nothing of yours that I desire.  ❜

❛  There is no movement of yours that has not betrayed you.  ❜

❛  I like to watch them. They fill me with joy.  ❜

❛  The first time I felt it, I thought I was going to die.  ❜

❛  Do you dare still pretend to be human ?  ❜

❛  It makes no difference. The end will be the same. I can wait.  ❜

❛  Shut up you pretentious kneecap !  ❜

❛  How would you like a punch in the eye ?  ❜

❛  It’s so nice to have someone to play with.  ❜

❛  Try me tomorrow. Maybe I’ll tell you tomorrow.  ❜

❛  Give it to me if you don’t want it but don’t throw it away !  ❜

❛  Give me the wine !  ❜

❛  You would have gone without me ?  ❜

❛  No name you could give her would surprise or frighten me.  ❜

❛  I love whom I love.  ❜

❛  I will go no further.  ❜

❛  Everything dies. I want to die when you die.  ❜

❛  Yes, that is my wish.  ❜

❛  I am a hero, and heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen.  ❜

❛  A quest may not simply be abandoned.  ❜

❛  A happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.  ❜

❛  What if there isn’t a happy ending at all ?  ❜

❛  There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.  ❜

❛  Do something ! You have the power ! I will kill you if you don’t do something !  ❜

❛  That’s what heroes are for.  ❜

❛  I’ve never had any friends before.  ❜

❛  Men don’t always know when they’re happy.  ❜

❛  I’m sorry. I have done you evil and I cannot undo it.  ❜

❛  No sorrow will live in me as long as that joy.  ❜
