Fragile
Lelouch realized that C.C was fragile and beautiful too when Mao started firing guns at her. It frightened him to see the strong and indifferent green-haired woman fall to her knees and bleed. He did not know how to handle the rage, fear and anger that boiled inside him...
She might be immortal but she was also human with a hurting heart and bleeding wounds. The realization pushed him forwards to do the one thing he never thought he could do.
Later that night while he dressed her wounds, she asked the dreaded question. "Why did you save me?"
"We're accomplices aren't we?" he retorted without looking up. Her wounds were cleaned and sealed with colorful band-aids. He wondered if he could put a band-aid over her heart too. "Don't die yet."
C.C was glad that he couldn't see the blush on her cheeks. She bit her tongue before she could throw the same comment at him.
She was still an immortal with a heart that hurts and bleeds; he was still a human with an undying faith in her. For the first time in her life, C.C appreciated Lelouch as someone who was fragile and beautiful.
