Reflection of you (Code Geass fanfic story)

Chapter 14

Antonio is just wandering around, not sure of where he could go. Yes, he knows that he said back at Georgia's home that he and Lelouch will spend time apart. But it's hard. That's the love of his life, the one who holds his heart in those hands. His other half. His angel. His black king. His emperor. The mother of his child. His fiancé. Antonio made it to the top of a mountain he was wandering on and found a tree to sit against.

The young man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A tear appeared suddenly. It slowly traveled down his cheek as he soaks in the amount of peace he could have for now. The only person he loves is Lelouch. He even loves to the point of...

"Why did you have to do it, Lelouch? We agreed to let it happen and for peace to prevail while you still get to live happily with Anthony. Now this Schneizel guy knows that not only is Lelouch Zero but that he's alive as well. How will he get them out of this mess? He looked down at his hand, empty without the engagement ring. It is for the best though, Antonio doesn't feel like he's worthy after everything. Especially with this huge problem between them.

He knew from the start that Lelouch was against this. At first, he thought that his little fit was 'cute,' just because he was already set on sacrificing himself in his love's place. But then, it started to slowly get annoying, due to the guilt he felt. Especially seeing those purple orbs red and puffy, repeatedly filling and spilling out a waterfall of tears.

Antonio remembers that day like it was yesterday...

Flashback(The day of the 'Zero Requiem':

Antonio combed his fingers through the newly made emperor's raven locks. Lelouch has been on his knees and pressing his face against Antonio's stomach as tears run down his face, for fifteen minutes. So far, there was nothing he could do. He tried singing one of Lelouch's favorite songs to calm down to, he tried humming a soft tune from his homeland, he even tried bribing him with chocolates. But nothing worked.

"Shh, it's fine...you know that I will always be with you, baby. Don't cry...don't cry, Lelouch.  How about this...It's been a a day or so since we made love. We can do that again one last time...if you..." Immediately, he was silenced with a pair of warm lips colliding with his own. Antonio closed his eyes and hummed slightly, sending vibrations through the kiss. As the two fell on the bed without separating their lips, Antonio convinced himself.

'Everything will be fine, we have an hour and half left before that time..'
——————————————————
An hour and fifteen minutes later...

It worked for a while.

Antonio was glad to spend time with his fiancé one last time.

But Lelouch is at it again.

As Lelouch was sobbing again, the door opened to reveal Kallen. She looked sympathetically at the scene but knew that things had to be done. "Hey you guys...it's time." She said in a whisper. Antonio looked up at her, never stopped combing his hand through his love's hair, "Thank you. I will be right there. Just got say a last, quick goodbye." Kallen nodded her head and closed the door for their deserved privacy.

Antonio turned his attention back to Lelouch and dropped down to his level. Both of his hands cupped the other raven haired man's face, bringing it close for a deep soul-crushing kiss. After a minute, they slowly pulled apart. "Goodbye baby, I'm so happy that I met you. I never regret anything in regards to our relationship. Be good for me. I love you." With that, he stood up and walked straight out without looking back. All he could hear was this.

"I love you too, my white king."

End of Flashback:

It's true, he never regretted their relationship. Though it was the only one he ever experienced so far, it's already the best he ever had. No one can truly replaced and be on par with Lelouch vi Britannia. He never noticed that fifteen minutes had already passed. He wonders how Lelouch is holding up, hopefully the man isn't still crying, especially since he's pregnant again.

Meanwhile at the prison, C.C managed to find the cell that Lelouch was staying in. She took out a key from the collection the other guard had in his pocket. The woman then placed it in the hole and turned it to the right, smiling slightly when she heard the 'pop' of the door unlocking.

Lelouch looked up with a bored expression. He has given up on everything. What was the point of living after all of this? He only wished that he could see Nunnally one last time. His purple eyes traveled towards the door, widening when it landed on a pair.

C.C and Anthony.

"H-How did you guys find me?" He croaked out in a unused, raspy voice. C.C shook her head as she walked over to help Lelouch up. "Never mind that. We need to go now and escape before anyone notice." She explained swiftly.

Which they did escape successfully, secretly making Schneizel annoyed to the core.
