Welcome to forget. forgive. This bad boy is a collection of the Suzaku-and-Lelouch-centric drabbles I seem to be writing so regularly.

"I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter. I'm alive, Suzaku, stop giving me that look. C.C. and I had an arrangement that resulted in my acquisiton of the immortality Geass. It's quite simple, you really shouldn't be having so much trouble understanding this."

Suzaku's vision is blurring.

This isn't real.

He steps forward.

This isn't real.

Lelouch raises an eyebrow.

This isn't re

Suzaku pulls his friend towards him and holds tight, not noticing the sudden darkness when Zero's cape enfolds them.

"I missed you," he says, voice choked, and Lelouch smiles.
