If the person you love is going to leave you tomorrow

You and him... what will be the last thing you will give to each other?

In the quiet night The moon floating among the twinkling stars was beautiful. A young man with jet black hair, dressed in an elegant white emperor's robe, stood staring out the window at a faraway place. His eyes looked sad. It looked like he was thinking about something.

Something that made him feel heartbroken.

“You look worried...”

A voice rang out. A young woman with lemon-colored hair walked in with an indifferent look in her eyes. She lay down on the white bed and stared at him.

“No… just thinking a little.”

The young man refused and returned without looking at me. He continued to stare outside. The girl noticed that his fingers were trembling slightly. So she said,

"You're afraid of this..."

It seemed like the words were as sharp as a sword and had pierced the young man's heart.

He turned and looked at her with fierce eyes before walking towards the bed where she was lying. He grabbed both of the girl's wrists and stared at her face with angry expressions.

“That's right!”

He roared loudly.

“Well, I'm about to die. I'm dying, do you understand?

c.c!!”

In that strong voice The girl felt the trembling. This young man was just pretending to be angry in order to cover up his own weakness... He had been like this for a long time, she knew that.

"I know that's what you want..."

The girl raised her hand and touched his face. She held his unruly black hair behind his ear and smiled softly.

“I'm a coward, right?....”

The young man's voice trembled. His eyes fluttered open, indicating a weakness he couldn't hide when he was in front of this woman. The girl he trusted the most. Even though the two had only known each other for a few years.

“Every human being is afraid of death...”

She comforted as her hands slowly reached around the nape of his neck. The young man lowered his head. The tips of their noses were now only a few centimeters apart. That made both of them feel the warm breath released along with the sound of their hearts pounding.

“Does that include you...?”

The young man asked in a low voice. The woman shook her head in response.

"I'm not human at all. Don't forget, I'm a wicked witch."

The young man smiled. He looked at her with eyes that suddenly became soft.

"I know..."

“Are you asking even though you know that?”

"I just want to know if she's still a wicked witch or not."

“Don't worry. I will show my role to the best of my ability.”

"Huh... I'm relieved like this."

The young man smiled softly before giving her a soft kiss. Their lips lightly pressed against each other before slowly becoming closer little by little. The young man raised his hand and touched the beautiful face of a young woman who was surrounded by the moonlight shining through her beautiful pubic hair. He looked deep into her eyes. Both the eyes are the color of honey that shines beautifully.

Pale pink lips and smooth white skin are mesmerizing. All of which made the young man who had never looked at her directly before think that she looked very beautiful tonight.

“This is the first time. That you were the one who kissed me first.”

“In the past, she always liked to be the first to attack.”

“Well, it's necessary. But that's all right. You're just a virgin who usually gets attacked by women, that's all.”

“She talks too much.”

Lelouch replied, his voice muffled by embarrassment. His face brightened. It's an expression that has been seen for a long time.

c.c

The mattress beneath him let out a soft laugh. She pulled him down into another hug, a force that Lelouch couldn't resist.

“Oh! Take it easy, do you really want me to die before the day comes?!”

“Isn't it kind of nice to die in my arms?”

“Not really.”

Lelouch's head moved back and forth to his face.

c.c

It was as if he was acting like a little puppy, begging for something to eat.

c.c

will respond to this for him Instead, she chose to push him away for one reason: She felt ticklish.

"Don't act like a moron, please. You've grown up already."

“If compared to her I'm still just a kid whose baby teeth haven't come in yet.”

"correct"

Then silence filled the room for a while. The two lay next to each other with their eyes fixed on the ceiling of the room. The white ceiling looked dull as darkness took over. The man's amethyst-colored eyes slowly glanced at the woman and found that her eyes were staring at him as well.

No sound came out of the two people's mouths. They just lay there staring at each other while letting time flow on. This is despite the fact that each side realizes how precious the time they are wasting is. Because this was the last time they would spend together.

But the truth that both of them knew in their hearts was making them helpless.

It's confusing.

painful

and torture

With the knowledge that tomorrow When the sun rises prominently in the sky

person in front must leave us

It was making both of them feel extremely tormented.

And suddenly, clear water droplets flowed from the edges of the young man's almethyst-colored eyes. he is crying But no sobs escaped his trembling lips. The same was true of the young woman whose beautiful face was now filled with tears. No matter how cold they act towards each other

No matter how indifferent they are to the tragedy that is about to happen from now on, But in the end, they couldn't bear to keep it. The regret that slowly eats away at my wounded heart. It had already appeared in the form of clear water droplets.

“You perverted witch…”

Lelouch teased the woman lying in front of him before grabbing her and hugging her. The warmth he felt from her was very different from the pillow that was soft but cold and lifeless. It was the first feeling he had ever experienced since they were together. And it might be the last time too.

“Speak without looking at yourself.”

The young witch replied in a muffled voice while being embraced by the young man. The young man she had thought was heartless and cold as ice. But now she could hear her heartbeat and the warmth radiating out. That made her feel even more tormented knowing that these things would disappear.

He was about to leave her.

“Do you still remember the first school fair? There's a giant pizza."

The young witch asked him softly. Even though people usually like to ask things like, Do you still remember when we first met? Instead, she chose to ask about what happened during their time together. Because she knew that the memories of the first time they met were quite bad for the young man.

“I remember... It's a shame I didn't have to eat.”

Lelouch let out a soft laugh, tears still flowing from his eyes as he thought of the giant pizza that had slipped out of Nightmare's hand piloted by Suzaku before flying and covering the entire pine tree. which is opposite to

c.c

Now it seems that the feeling of disappointment from that time has surfaced again.

“And do you still remember when you fought with Jeremy? “

"can remember"

“When we meet again?”

"can remember"

“When you saved me from Mao?”

"can remember"

“When you saved me from Charles?”

"can remember"

“When you call me my real name?”

"can remember"

The young witch asked him over and over. The young man kept answering her questions over and over. He held her tighter as more questions began to pour out. Their sobs became more and more uncontrollable. In their heads right now, there are only images of the times they spent together.

Even though there was conflict at home They quarreled and were angry at each other, but they still had some natural happiness, even if just a little. But it was all that had supported their hearts throughout. Now that they know how precious the past time was to them. Even if you think about it when it might already be too late.

"Don't cry... “

He whispered to her in a trembling voice. Tears flowed down and covered the white pillow. Their trembling bodies held tightly together. It was as if he was holding the body in his arms and not letting him go anywhere. Which if it can be done He probably wouldn't hesitate for the slightest bit to hold her like this forever.

“You promised me... That it will make me smile... In the final episode... ”

c.c

Squeak out the words from the sobbing masses. Her face was red. My heart felt like it was being torn apart. She's suffering so much Even though she had really worked hard to get these precious feelings back. But you'll lose it again And even though she has found someone who can give her true love

But that person will have to leave you. It sounds like fate played a trick on the story that it ended up like this. But she had to accept it as her punishment.

"Oh... I made a promise and I still remember. I won't forget."

“If you break your promise, you will have to swallow a thousand needles, you know?”

Lelouch nodded in response. The answer made his heart ache. Of course, even if it were him. However, it would not be possible to create such a miracle. It was a miracle that the two of them would not be separated. Of course Lelouch was well aware of that. Therefore, for the past few days, he had been sitting out in the distance.

Start closing yourself off from the outside world. He hadn't smiled since he'd decided to have Suzaku wear the mask for himself and started his plan. Zero Requiem

“... Lelouch.”

c.c

Calling his name in a soft voice He acted like he was going to say something more but fell silent.

“Is there something...?”

Lelouch asked in a gentle voice. He held her hand tightly and used his other wrist sleeve to wipe away the tears that were starting to stop. And at that moment The woman who had been silent for a while suddenly spoke a sentence that he had never thought would come out of her mouth.

“You... probably don't hate me.”

Silence reigned throughout the room once again.

"... you"

“Have you gone crazy?!”

His voice suddenly changed to an alarmingly harsh tone. Lelouch hugged the young witch in his arms so tightly that she began to feel pain. His body trembled as if in fear. Afraid of the madness of the woman he loved with all his heart.

“What I have today is because of you.

c.c

If it weren't for her that day, I would probably have been shot dead without anyone knowing or seeing in that abandoned warehouse!! If I didn't have you that day I would just blame myself for causing Euphie's death!! I wouldn't be a person until today. Every time I don't have anyone I always see you next to me. Even if you don't smile Even without sweet words

But every time I'm alone, there's no one I only have you

c.c!!

Do you still need me to tell you how I feel about you!?”

Lelouch said everything his mind was thinking in one breath that took his breath away. His heart fluttered just like the heart of the girl who was now lying as still as a doll when she heard the truth that the young man had told her just now.

“... Even though I am

c.c

But I don't know everything about everything.”

The young witch held the young man's hand tightly and smiled through her tears without letting him see.

"I love you...

c.c”

Gentle words flowed from the young man's lips. He slowly whispered it into her ear in a soft voice but packed with all the feelings and sincerity he had. This could be called another truth that came out of the mouth of this lying devil.

“This is the first time... That I met someone like you…”

The young witch said before turning around to face him. They smiled at each other even though there was still pain gnawing at them. But they have decided to seal this precious relationship with smiles and not tears. It will all be a wonderful memory that they will keep in their hearts forever. It is a precious memory that even death cannot erase.

“Thank you very much, Lelouch... Thank you for making me able to love someone from my heart again. I used to hide my feelings Have you ever decided not to love anyone and will never be loved by anyone again? Because it's painful So much suffering during my endless hours. But if the person I will love from now on and forever is you...

I would not hesitate to reveal those feelings again.”

c.c

Said the young man in front of him with a smile. It was the most gentle and beautiful smile Lelouch had ever seen. That caused the tears that had stopped flowing to overflow at the corners of his eyes again. But even though the tears will flow The young man still smiled. Because now he doesn't feel sorry anymore. When the woman he loved with all his heart had already told him that she would love him forever. Therefore, the fear that had gnawed at his heart before had been completely destroyed.

Lelouch gave her another kiss. He carefully conveyed all his feelings through his lips. This kiss could be considered their goodbye kiss. Even though its meaning is hidden in bitterness But what they both felt was the sweetness and love that they were conveying to each other, and soon they both fell asleep in each other's arms.

Until tomorrow comes I will hug you like this forever.

Even though my body must be broken Even if the breath must be extinguished

But I promise that my love for you will never fade.

Because this is a bond that even death cannot erase.

This feeling will remain engraved in my heart forever.

I promise

Promise
