So this was originally on my RP Tumblr (thetruekingofgeass . tumblr . com)
And I'm posting it here...
LOVE ME
This is a very dangerous Mirror, Harry. Men have gone mad,
sitting in front of it.
Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, 1997
Lelouch walked towards the Mirror, eyes shining. C2 watched him as he made a squeak- a sound of heart break, of loss, of pain- and moved towards it.
"Lelouch." C2 spoke clearly, "Are you okay?"
He shook his head wordlessly.
"What do you see?"
"Me?" His throat was tight, "I- I see… Myself. And Suzaku and Nunnally… And Milly and Rivalz and Shirley and Nina and Euphy and Cornelia and you and I see my parents and…" He took a second to breathe, "Suzaku and Nunnally are holding hands… They're happy…" Another pause, "Milly and Rivalz.. They're happy… Euphy and Cornelia are with each other again… They're happy… Nina and Shirley… They're happy… Shirley and I are holding hands, and…" He choked, putting his hand on the mirror… "My parents… I can hear them… 'We're proud of you, Lelouch…'… 'We love you'…"
He slid down the mirror and cried. C2 hurried over to comfort him, kneeling and hugging him.
After a few minutes, he whispered hoarsely, "What do you see?"
She looked over, then back at him, "Myself. Happy."
She then took a long, selfish, yearning glance at her reflection of Lelouch's lips on hers, and her feelings for him returned.
