Mew: Must say, one of the shortest things I've ever written. Well, I watched Code Geass, liked it, saw the last episode, cried a bit.
You have to admit, it was a bit sad.
So, this is basically a visual of what I thought Lelouch may have been thinking at the time of his death. Did a bit of research, hope it's all right. Enjoy.
Comeuppance
There were many thoughts running through Lelouch vi Britannia's mind when Zero, aka Suzaku Kururugi stabbed him atop his throne.
The first was bitter regret. Regretted how he had treated C.C, even though he had made up for it. Regretted giving her grief while she struggled as an amnesic.
He regretted not standing up to the Emperor after his mother was killed. He regretted every time he pulled the wool over Nunnally's eyes. Regretted every night he came home late and worried her.
But he never regretted sacrificing himself for her sake.
He regretted letting Shirley die, letting her convince him not to call the EMS. She loved him, and what had he done? Ignored her, dismissed her, and broke her heart multiple times.
He was unworthy of such a girl so high above him, even though reality was ironic.
Most of all, he regretted what pain he had put all his friends though, forcing his friends to bear the weight of war and death. As Suzaku stood silently, sword upraised, his lips curved in a small smile. He had forced Suzaku to kill Euphy the first time. He did not need to for Suzaku to kill him now. Did he think this was justice?
He wasn't sure of what he said to Suzaku, his mind fuzzy, yet unusually sharp at the same time. He tumbled down the slope, sliding down to rest at Nunnally's side. He was aware of her hand hovering over his, his blood pooling around him.
His hearing started to fail him, yet his sight was still there. He marveled the bright day, although he had never been one for staying outside.
He knew he would always be hated after this for his acts, even though the few people who knew would still care. He could hear muted screams, Nunnally, Kallen. He wished to turn his head, but his head would not obey him.
"Yes," he murmured, blood threatening to bubble up at his lips. As his vision began to fade, he had an amusing thought. He had planned his own death, comeuppance for his sins. "I have... Destroyed the world... And created... A... New..." As the black cinched, he went limp, a small smile decorating his face.
He would go out blazing his glory in a mask of hatred, pain, and sins that he had caused.
He had created his own comeuppance.
And he lived it out fully.
Mew: Can I get one review? Please? Thanks for reading. First Code Geass fic i've ever written. Pretty pitiful, isn't it? Review, please!
