Reflection of you (Code Geass fanfic story)

Chapter 1

Lelouch could only stare in silence as many screens broadcast the grizzly murder of 'Emperor Lelouch' live for everyone to see. But as you can clearly figure out, that wasn't him. But he wished it was him though, however, he apparently has a greater purpose that requires him to be alive. The person who died instead was someone close to him.

His lover.

The lean, pale hands were placed on his stomach. Still feeling the warmth and comfort of their recent lovemaking. The young man let out a shaky sigh, letting the tears fall gracefully down his face. He knows that he shouldn't cry, for he promised Antonio that he wouldn't. But he just can't help it.

He loves him.

His lover shouldn't be dead, it was suppose to be Lelouch.

"Hey...it's time to go, we can pick up Anthony first if you want." A voice offered quietly. Lelouch quickly wiped his eyes and looked up to see Suzaku in the 'zero' costume, but with the helmet off. The prince got up and started walking out of the bland, white room he was placed in. "Sure." He simply said as his best friend followed behind.

Already, Lelouch made up his mind on what his next plan will be. He will find this secret way to revive someone from the dead. At least it's possible, according to the bedtime myths his mother would read to him and his sister. The man doesn't want to live without Antonio, or rather, he refuses to. Once the pair got outside, Susaku started to speak as they approached the golf cart they will use. "It has to be done, Lelouch. You even said it yourself when the original plan was for you to die. Antonio wouldn't like to see you like this. Got to start calming..." Lelouch was about to climb in the vehicle but soon stop to whip his body around to face the other man, furious.

Suzaku could see his friend's fists balled up tightly and shaking. "Lelouch...calm down." He pleads, worriedly. The black haired man growled and turned back towards the cart, now getting inside. Suzaku soon followed and the two were off.

Madame Giselle was bouncing little Anthony in her lap, already got him dressed in his outdoor clothes again after the tyke took a nap. The baby kept giggling and cooing madly, clapping his hands. Like the other times before, the lady was impressed, "You must've inherited your mother's advanced abilities and intelligence. Already at five months old, you know how to clap your hands and point for things," the baby stared up at her blankly at the smiling lady, "I'm sure both are proud of you. 'Cause I am, your so cute! Hehe." After a few more minutes, Giselle stopped out of exhaustion in her legs and knees.

She picked him up and carried him back to his rocking seat. Buckling him in before going off to make some lunch for herself. Right as the lady reached the kitchen, life had other plans. Anthony noticed that he was alone and started to let out a loud, or rather, screeching wail just as there were knocks on the door. 'Uh oh, it's probably Lelouch!' She thought panicky in her head.

The woman raced over to open the door to let Suzaku and Lelouch in, gulping as she saw the dark haired man's not so positive expression. As she was closing and locking the door, did she see that change once he found his son. The scowl was soon replaced by a smile as Lelouch picked the baby and snuggled him close, shushing and humming at the little one. Immediately, the child stopped once he recognized that this is someone he knew, his mother. Giselle gestured for the boys to take a seat on the couch in the living room. Lelouch was about to place Anthony back in the rocking seat when the lady held up her hand, "He seems to like being in your arms. Keep him there for a while and bond with him more, okay." Lelouch slowly nodded his head as he sat down and settled the energetic babe on his lap.

Giselle cleared her throat just as Anthony quieted down, "So...did it happen?" Suzaku nodded his head while Lelouch just looked down at the top of Anthony's head. It didn't go unnoticed by Giselle though, "Hey Lelouch...you guys are not in a hurry, right?" Lelouch looked up and pondered a bit. He could say yes and just leave in order to start reviving his lover, or he could stay because the man has no clue on how to properly take care of a baby.

"I guess we have some time, what do you want?"

Giselle smiled gently and shrugged, "Tell me about you and Antonio's relationship." That caused the young parent to raise an eyebrow at that question. Why all of a sudden she wanted to know? Oh well, it wouldn't hurt to distract himself by telling her.

"Where should I start? Is there a specific part you want me to tell?"

Giselle shook her head and pointed at the ring on his hand.

"Start at the beginning. I want to know everything."

Welp, here is the first chapter of this book and fandom! Thank you guys for reading, I hope it's not that bad. For the next few chapters or so(depends, might change), will be a focused on the past, and how Lelouch and Antonio's relationship came to be. Including them conceiving their son, Anthony. Just a warning, the way I will portray it might be different from the manga/anime. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed that! Take care and stay safe!
