A Prince and His Knight [Closed, Complete-ish]
WHO: Lelouch Lamperouge and Lady Subaru
WHAT: A talk about... everything
WHERE: The beach.
WHEN: Evening, Day 67
He could tell himself that he had decided to invite her along on a walk to the beach in the night just to be able to keep her updated on everything, that it was strictly business... but that was a lie he didn't bother to tell himself anymore. She had, somehow, inexplicably fallen into his life, much like C.C., and again he found himself making a pact.
As unhappy as Rivelata had been in the short term, Subaru was in it the one truly bright spot. Even Euphie's presence was marred by his own necessary deception of her, by the blood curse, and by her coma. Subaru offered Lelouch something that no one else had ever offered, and that he had never seriously thought to want. His mission, his rebellion was always too important... But here... she hadn't hindered him any, hadn't made him any less effective. If anything, she had helped him, become the one person he could truly trust in this whole ordeal...
And yet, because she was so close to him, his own betrayal-- he couldn't bring himself to call it a mistake, not when it might have been what brought Euphie back-- gnawed at him all the more. He... wanted to make things right again, somehow, but actions couldn't so easily be undone. If only that were his Geass. But he would have to live with his decision now... And he would make it up to Subaru somehow...
Even if he could never bring himself to tell her.
Knocking lightly on her door, he slipped on his smile and waited for her to emerge.
