That's right…I'M STARTING ANOTHER CODE GEASS FANFIC. You should all run in fear before I start breathing fire and purple marshmallows. As for the summary, the "being shot at the waist" is from episode one or two from the actual show. AND DON'T WORRY. This isn't going to be a complete AU. I'm just going to tweak it in some places.
Warnings: Slight AU, shounen-ai, fluff, OOCness, ONE OC, and CRACK.
Pairings: Lelouch x Suzaku, light Z.Z. x Suzaku
Genre: Humor? I'm still not to sure.
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN CODE GEASS OR ANY CHARACTERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. If I did, oh believe me, you would know.
Sightless Love
Prologue: The Beginning
Suzaku groaned slightly in pain, his side burning as he shifted in what he could only assume was a medical bed. He opened his eyes slowly, expecting a harsh light. But he was surprised when all he saw was blackness.
His hands flew up to his face, expecting to feel a blindfold or something. He was greatly disappointed; all he felt was his bare skin along with his bangs.
Frowning, he looked up as he heard the familiar swish of the mechanical door opening, followed by two – or at least he thought – footsteps. The bed he was on dipped slightly with the added weight of another person before he felt hands on his face. He could only assume that they were doing to normal checkup: flashing a light in his eyes.
"Well Kururugi-san," A somewhat high-pitched yet still masculine voice started from beside him. "Even though you survived that gunshot, you won't be able to see for quite some time. Probably never at this rate."
"How…?" The brunette trailed off, unsure of how to finish his sentence. They probably knew about what happened anyway. No point in reminding them of what they already know.
"This saved your life." The man placed a circular object that felt like it had seen better days into his hand, and he could only assume that it was a watch: his father's watch. "It stopped the bullet from hitting any vital organs but sadly, the same couldn't be said for your spine."
"The bullet grazed an important vertebrate that sends signals up and down your body; the damage forced the brain to panic, which in turn caused your pupils to close. I'm sorry to say this but you may never be able to see again." A feminine voice said from in front of him.
Suzaku rolled this new information around in his head. So he wouldn't be able to see…huh? Then how would he be able to serve Britannia and, if not, where would he stay!?
As the brunette started hyperventilating, Cécile – the woman – grabbed a brown paper bag and handed it to him. Once the Japanese boy had calmed down enough, the blue-haired woman placed her hand on his shoulder – he flinched slightly at the contact.
"If you're worried about a place to stay, you can stay with me. I wouldn't mind."
Suzaku nodded slightly, feeling a little bit better. "B-By the way, who are you?"
"I'm Cécile Croomy and this is Lloyd Asplund, my boss. We work in the Special Divisions Department. (1)" With that the two left, feeling that the boy needed some rest. The flick of a switch was all that notified Suzaku that the lights were off before the door closed shut.
He laid back and took a deep breath before rolling onto his side and falling asleep.
----x----
"Do you wish for a better world?"
Suzaku sat up straight in the bed, panting softly as he looked around. He later found this pointless as he couldn't see a thing to begin with.
"You've had everything taken from you."
"Who's there?" The brunette demanded, swinging his legs over the side of the bed. In the otherwise silent room, he couldn't sense – feel, smell, or hear – anyone else in the room.
"I could give you want you want."
"Once again, who's there?" He demanded once more, getting tired of this little charade.
"Such a beautiful child."
He jerked to the side as he felt a hand – soft and warm – pet his cheek. Suzaku stood up and, upon not bumping into anyone; he reached out in front of him – still not feeling a thing. He vaguely thought that he imagined the touch.
"You wish to see Lelouch one more time, is that right?"
"Wha…? How do you know about Lelouch?" The Japanese boy demanded, starting to get stressed.
Suddenly, he got dizzy; the world felt as if it shifted, forcing him to fall to the ground in a loss of balance. He gripped the edge of the bed, suddenly feeling sick to his stomach. When he opened his eyes once again, he was in a completely white room – no bed, no walls, no nothing.
Standing in front of his was a light haired brunette with black, warmth filled eyes. He was wearing a completely white outfit – much like the girl he and Lelouch had saved earlier.
"I am Z.Z." He stated, voice loud and clear – not low and fuzzy; muffled like it was earlier. He kneeled down in front of the shorter brunette, a smile on his face. "If you allow me, I'll give you what you want most. You're sight and, most importantly, Lelouch and Nunnally."
"How–?" Suzaku was cut off as the man – Z.Z. – placed his index figure on his lips, telling him to stay quiet.
"I've been watching you, Suzaku Kururugi. You do not deserve to live in this fowl world, but it's not my place to change that. The least I can do if help you." Z.Z. stated, a small yet warm smile on his face.
"How will you do that?"
"With Geass." With that, the white world and Z.Z. slowly started to meld into one big swirl before Suzaku closed his eyes, getting dizzy once again. When he opened them, all he saw was that blackness again.
He sighed, lifting himself onto the slightly hard medical bed. As he lay down, a slight pressure made itself known on his chest. When he felt for it, he was met with soft fur and a wet tongue. He opened his eyes once again and was met with the sight of himself, one of his eyes completely red with a bird-like shape in the middle.
The scene changed slightly – although he didn't move his head at all – and he ended up looking into a mirror that was apparently across the room. Reflected, he was laying on the bed – looking forward – with a small dog on his chest.
"This Geass will allow you to view the world through someone else's eyes and, for now, I shall be your eyes."
Z.Z.'s voice was back again although it was slightly clearer than before. The dog also looked a lot like him – the light, creamy brown fur and black eyes matched the odd being he had seen earlier.
The scene faded slightly before becoming completely black once again. Suzaku sighed, laying his head down once again. Boy was this day an odd one.
1. That's probably wrong. I just know that it's Special Something Something.
IGNORE ANY GRAMMAR/SPELLING MISTAKES. If you have read any of my other stories, you should know by now that I'm too lazy to read over it after I just finished and, being me, are too excited (and I'll probably forget) to let it sit there till I find the time.
