Reflection of you (Code Geass fanfic story)

Chapter 9

"My name is Othello(Yuuup! That's the only name I could think of, lmao)! I heard some noise from here. Why are you in my cousin Antonio's home?!" Ah, Othello doesn't know...about all of this. Lelouch turned towards Antonio and ushered him to hide somewhere in the house. Antonio ran towards the cabinet of the many games and other activities his old self would collect. 'I'm skinny and flexible enough to fit in the bottom drawer. And I know how to do that...but how?' Antonio thought as he opened and went inside, getting into the usual fetal position. Once everything seemed to be fine, Lelouch shut the drawer and placed a lock on it, murmur an apology to Antonio. Telling the other to hang in there for a while.

Lelouch walked towards the door with his child in his arms just as Antonio started to remember what Othello just said when he introduced himself. So he's his cousin and...this house is Antonio's? But the black haired man just said...ugh! This is confusing and suspicious at the same time! "I wish I was at home..." Antonio whispered to himself very quietly in a voiceless whisper. He immediately closed his mouth and stayed quiet once he heard the two men walking and coming in the house.

"I...I never thought that you two would be married, much less having a baby. How is that possible?" Othello asked, amazed as he looked at Anthony, who was staring at him with a blank, emotionless stare. Lelouch smiled and said, "Let's talk in our room. I will explain to the best of my ability." Othello nods his head in agreement and follows his cousin's lookalike. Once the two sat down on the bed after Lelouch closed the door, did the real conversation and explanation started.

Lelouch started straight into Othello's eyes. "It seemed that when I was young, I was sick with this strange illness. My mother met with a witch who gave her some remedy but warned her that there were some side effects like irritation, tiredness and being able to do something like women. My mother didn't heed her warning and thought that everything was fine. I'm still a male, in the physical and biological sense. However, I became fertile and given the ability to give birth to children. For my pregnancy, I keep all my body parts. Until the birth of my son, where a light appeared and my private part turns into one for females." Othello became even more surprised than before.

"Doe your mother know that you had a.."

Lelouch suddenly interrupted him sharply.

"She's dead."

The other man frowned and apologized multiple times. "It's fine, Othello. You didn't know." Lelouch assured. Meanwhile, Antonio started to become impatient and curious at the same time. It has since been fifteen minutes from when the two men went inside the room. He wonders what they are talking about. Also, why doesn't the man want him to see his cousin? They're family, it's only right for him to see a relative. Antonio decided to get out slowly and quietly, wanting to listen in. He tiptoed to the door and pressed one of his ears against it.

"What?! How did he die?!"

"We were involved in a accident. He was badly injured and didn't make it."

"What accident...? Lelouch, please tell me everything! Where is his body now?"

"I...I think it's time for you to leave. Go..."

"But! But! Lelouch, he's my cousin..!"

"Get out...of my sight...now."

"......."

"......."

"Oh man! I'm so sorry, I will leave right away! It was nice talking to you!"

Antonio managed to hid himself while staying near the door, just in time for Othello to run out. But Antonio noticed something with his eyes. His main color seemed to be blue but...there's this little hint of a red, slightly glowing circle around the blueness of the eyes. What happened? Is he sick? Lelouch soon walked out and noticed Antonio near the room.

Which didn't make him happy.

Lelouch placed Anthony on the ground and marched over to the 'child.' He grabbed the top front of his shirt and roughly hoisted Antonio onto his feet. Bringing the other close close in order to look at the 'boy' with a menacing glare. "Do you know that you could've been caught by him? Why. Did. YOU. Get. Out. Of. The. DRAWER?!" He bellowed out. Antonio whimpered and closed his eyes shut. "I'm sorry! My legs were getting cramped and I just wanted to stretch them a lil. Then I heard you and the guy talking...I'm sorry Lelouch!" The former terrorist and prince looked at him blankly.

Antonio became even more nervous, "Th-That is your name right?"

"Yes." Lelouch simply answered. He shouldn't be mad at his love, at least Antonio didn't get caught. Purple eyes met each other, with one pair glistened with tears. They were Antonio's. Lelouch's heart clenched at the sight and he brought the other into his arms. "I'm sorry. I love you, okay? I promise to not be mean to you anymore." Antonio sniffed and pulled back a bit to wipe his eyes. "You love me? But how...and in what way? I hope it's not the way moms and dads love each other. Yuck!" Lelouch snorted and ruffled his hair.

"In a way that fits the both of us."

In a dream, that very night...

"I love you from beyond the heavens and back, Lelouch. You complete me. Don't be afraid to smile and show emotion. You're not alone anymore. I'm here." Lelouch's heart fluttered as he was brought closer to the man he loved. Two pairs of arms wrapped around one another as the two lovers engaged in a passionate kiss.

Lelouch sighed contently, butterflies fluttering wildly in his stomach as the two tongues meet once again in their dance. Lips slowly being pulled apart wetly before coming and molding together once again. It lasted for almost as long as time before the two pulled apart to catch their breaths.

Antonio picked Lelouch up bridal style, "I'm so happy to have married you. Thank you for choosing me and being you. However...there is one thing..." Antonio suddenly started, turning serious. Lelouch was confused and soon became worried. But that soon turn into shock and despair as Antonio says this.

"Why did you have to lie to me and ruin the plan by bringing me back to life?"

End of dream...

"GAH!" Lelouch screamed out, quickly sitting up, breathing heavily and sweating with wide eyes. His heart was beating really fast, painfully hammering against chest repeatedly. Antonio, who decided to sleep next to Lelouch, woke up to the noise. "Are you okay Mr. Lelouch? Did you have a nightmare?" Lelouch looked down at Antonio laying down on the bed, who's half lidded eyes stared right at him. Lelouch gave a shaky smile and shook his head. "It's fine. Everything is...f-fine..." his voice broke slightly, tears slowly filling his eyes.

Antonio sat up and crawled over to Lelouch, this time, he's the one who brings the other man close to him in a hug. Lelouch started mumbling out something, but Antonio couldn't hear. So he moved his ear closer. What he heard surprised and confused him. But nevertheless, he only held Lelouch close, the only way he could comfort the man.

"I'm sorry, Antonio. I'm sorry...I'm so sorry. I love you...I'm sorry...oh god, I'm sorry..."

Lelouch soon let go.
