Those words. He had heard them so many times that it had made him sick since he was a very young age.
Britannian, Japanese, Eleven. Words that changed futures, words that would determine someone’s life. Suzaku was Japanese, that had been pounded into his head for days before he was sent to the small Pacific island with Nunnally in tow. They had been sent as hostages, as bargaining chips in their father, the Emperor’s, game. Lelouch shook with rage at the thought of his father, the man that had taken away his life from him. Because of words, he was a prince, he was a pawn. The Kururugi family were his prison guards.
Suzaku had earned another title as well. After their days of hatred, they had become friends. They looked past the labels and saw each other as people. Japanese or Britannian, it did not matter when it was just the two of them and Nunnally. They would take turns carrying his crippled sister through the woods seeking out adventures in the dense undergrowth. When it was just them, labels did not exist.
It was different in the town, where the other Japanese would give Lelouch hateful glances and act as Suzaku was being deluded by the evil Britannian prisoner. Little did the boys know that one day their roles would be reversed, it would be Suzaku receiving the hateful glares and Lelouch getting the strange ones. For in this imperfect world, labels existed.
On a day in the not so distant future, Lelouch and Suzaku would be standing together on a broken field filled with destruction. Britannia had taken Japan, Japan became area 11. The Japanese became Elevens. Lelouch swore that he would destroy Britannia. He would make an end to the words that destroyed people’s lives.
