Code Geass: Chance of Happiness

Epilogue: C.C of the Contract

"What I desired wasn't to act friendly with anyone. What I desired was definitely something genuine. Anything else, I didn't need," - Hachiman Hikigaya from Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatte Iru.

Six Years Later

Saturday, March 22nd, 2025 a.t.b

Today is the big day; today is Lelouch and C.C's Wedding. As Suzaku and Jeremiah helped Lelouch with getting dressed Lelouch let his mind wonder. He still couldn't believe that he and Suzaku came so close to killing each other during the Second Battle of Tokyo Settlement, but Lelouch realized how pointless it is to hold a grudge; holding a grudge is like letting someone live rent-free inside your head. It was so much easier for the two to preemptively judge and hate each other before the truth was revealed, before they reconciled their relationship, but it was wrong.

After everything he went through, Lelouch came to the most logical conclusion: there is no justice or morality in war. There never has been in the history of the world and there never will be. After all, many people were mercilessly slaughtered on both sides, all because of the political ambitions of Charles zi Britannia. Yes, that may be a pessimistic way of looking at things, but it's the truth. War is always a personal matter for those that are involved in positions of power. If Lelouch were to look at his journey as Zero without any bias, he'd say that his war also had no justice in it; even if he made a bright future for Nunnally, C.C, and Leia, his methods were brutal. His message of, 'Don't fuck with me!' was sent through the massive number of Britannian soldiers he murdered, but it obviously exacerbated the hatred between Britannians and the Japanese, at least in Japan; an eye for an eye makes the world go blind.

"You nervous?" Suzaku asked.

"N-No. Of course not," Lelouch said, but Suzaku smirked when he caught him stuttering.

Lelouch wore a black tuxedo with a green and gold striped tie. He left his hair a little wet after taking a shower because Lelouch isn't used to the heat of wearing multiple layers of clothing.

The reason why Lelouch and C.C chose this day to be their wedding is because they both hate Summer. Spring is their favorite season, as the weather is almost perfect, maybe a little too warm for Lelouch's liking, but still better than all the other seasons, at least during his time living in Japan. Lelouch and C.C's second favorite season is Winter. Their third is Fall.

Once Suzaku was done tying on Lelouch's tie, Jeremiah walked up to Lelouch with a bottle of cologne, the words 'Versace' etched onto it, the same Italian brand that Akito gifted to Lelouch six years earlier. Jeremiah sprayed it three times, once on each of his clavicles and once on the back of his neck.

"We should get going, m'lord. We don't want to keep Lady C.C waiting," Jeremiah said.

The sun was out with a few scattered clouds here and there. The place where the wedding will happen is a simple outdoor rain-shelter, but it's also designed for Weddings, as several white, plastic chairs have already been set up. Some people could stay at the place and do something quiet and peaceful in their alone time, like reading a book. The shelter sat close to a dock on a reservoir or lake of some sort. When Jeremiah, Suzaku, and Lelouch arrived, almost everyone was already there: Akito, Leila, Nunnally, Leia, Anya, and Sayoko. They were all dressed nicely. Leia sat in between Leila and Akito, whom she likes to call 'Auntie and Uncle Aki', which sometimes confuses Nunnally since Nunnally is her actual Aunt. Leila, five years old, grew up to be a beautiful girl with black hair and golden eyes. One of the only noticeable physical traits she inherited from Lelouch is her fathers' hair color, but other than that, she looked almost exactly like her mother. Her hair was tied back into a short ponytail, which she intends to grow for a long time.
