Fanfiction from the moment that Code Geass R2 ends. These who believe that Lelouch is alive, I mean (as writers wanted) DECIDED, that it is him - read it please! And these who are stubborn and don't believe that he is alive, please do not flame and read only if you want to. But, I am serious, please no flames from anyone, neither saying that he is dead and I should get on with it.

I guess everyone know the theory about Lelouch getting his Code of Immortality from his father, so I won't explain that.

I am a Lelouch x C.C. fanboy, this is OTP of CG, I am a maniac about them, so forgive me if it is too "emotional" or sth like that xD Sorry if they are ooc but this is my very first fanfiction. I am also sorry about grammar and vocabulary mistakes… I am still learning english, I know that it's far from perfect, but I'm trying my best : D

Aaand one more. I refer to Lelouch as R.R. or R2, as you know, Japanese pronunciation letter "L" is very similar to "R".

IMPORTANT INFO: I DO NOT OWN CODE GEASS.

IMPORANT INFO 2: Enjoy!

Chapter I - What has been unspoken

"I said that Geass was the Power of the King which would condemn you to a life of solitude. Heh. I think maybe that's not quite correct. Right, Lelouch?" A slight smile on her face showed up when she nodded her head on cart driver, bundled in clothes covering partially his face, so no one could recognize him.

"Hmph…" His trademark smirk appeared on his face too, when he heard C.C's words. After few seconds of silence he checked if his hat is still on his head. "I've been hesitating about it for a long time, C.C.. And look, how we ended up. Isn't it the best way possible?" He decided to take hat off finally. His raven black hair could now breathe, even though now sun was shining directly on his deep, violet eyes. Geass was still hidden behind lenses, she gave him. His body was covered with all sort of clothes, and besides it was hot as hell because of that, this camouflage was necessary. Weather was great, Lelouch Lamperouge didn't feel like a dead person. To be honest, he felt refreshed and new, like never before. "We can't die even if we want to, although I am convinced, that we don't want it now. And if it will go on like this, we would never want to."

It is sure for both of them, that they still have something to admit. But it was really hard. Making allusions, and suggesting have been the easiest way to provoke each other. It wasn't as simple as it seemed to be. Overcoming anxiety and inhibitions was pretty difficult… It should be perfect. A perfect moment, to fully embrace it, to feel it with their eternally beating hearts.

"It is a sure thing that we could. We can still give Geass, to a person, make a pact, and keep an eye on it to be fulfilled. But I guess, you are right this time." She answered him and smiled wider unknowingly. Timid beams of sun fell on her skin, but she wasn't concerned about a little sunbathe. They have to disappear after all, and why not change look a bit? Horses were gently and calmly pulling the cart with hay. She felt like if it was her own, soft cloud, that she can lay on as long as she wants to, whenever she wants. "Being immortal, and alone was a nightmare, but now? Being immortal together, won't be such terrifying fate, will it?" She picked up paper crane made by R.R. himself, for her before leaving on a cart. She remembered the legend, that if one person made one hundred of them, that person's wish shall be granted. But she knew, it's another thing that's not quite correct. As she can see, only one crane is enough to grant even two people's wish.

"I am certain that we will have a very peaceful, and to be honest, a very interesting life from now on. As ghosts, we will know that our beloved ones died, but…" He giggled slightly and put his hat on again, then holding reins tightly again. He nodded his head toward her. "...With one, sweet exception."

"I didn't know that you can say words like sweet, boya. It's not your kind of expressing yourself."

"Here we go again, don't we? I see we'll never admit it. Or am I wrong, and you really want to say something?"

"Keep an eye on road, boya."

"Who'll take the very first step then, witch? Me again, the Demon Emperor, 99th Emperor of Britannia, Zero, man of miracles?"

C.C. rolled her eyes, like if she felt embarrassed.

"How humble you are, Lelouch!"

They both giggled more loudly, and Lelouch bent his head a little letting his hat give him a shade covering eyes. Maybe they were not ready to say these words?

Calm wind blowing literally everywhere, ruffled their hair and hay, which single stalks were flying away from the haystack, long grass and crowns of trees were moved by blowing wind too. Together it made a symphony for eyes, it was a delightful sight for them. And now, they can embrace it.

Now, when they can take a breath, impatiently awaited breath - C.C. after hundreds of years, and R.R. after two, hardest years of his life. Now, they can relax for eternity, because they both paid the debt to the world, and brought peace. Finally. Though, they are so full of will to live, that they don't want to give up living. Never.

As Lelouch took his father's Code of Immortality, R2's plan to arrange his death for the sake of the world has been born in his mind. Zero's Requiem, which shown death of Lelouch vi Britannia, The Demon Emperor to the whole world was a finis coronat opus, like a cherry on the top of a cake. He knew it was an extremely painful experience to Nunnaly, but it was the only solution left. As The Demon Emperor is dead for the almost whole world, the world itself can now relax too, because the usurper and tyrant is no more.

Only a little bunch of people are aware of what really happened, and so, thanks to them, Lelouch and C.C. are free at last.

Freedom was the most pursued thing by them. It was so precious, unusual, even extraordinary, that they didn't even know how to fully embrace their independence.

Completely well-earned, sweet scent of freedom. It filled their hearts and souls. It was spreading out with every single smile, like a newborn plant which had to blossom, grow up to the sky, touch it. Yes, they felt free as birds gliding between white, fluffy clouds.

Such an amazing feeling.

Somehow, they felt strangled in an one, unknown way. When they were thinking about it, for sure it was annoying, but who said that these words, are actually so goddamn hard to say?! I am not sure; C.C. thought, if it is real, or just a dream, unreal utopia, imagination. Although, Lelouch's thoughts were not so complicated at all. It is real, it is true, I feel it inside, and finally after these wretched, horrible, even painful experiences, when my beloved sister Nunnaly, and whole world are finally free, I can do this, we DESERVE IT; he thought, fully convinced that he was right.

Eternal life without a person to spend it with isn't life. We can't call life something, which includes only breathing, eating, thinking, sleeping. It would be mere existence, without any colours. Blank space. Not life. Just existence.

And she deserves life even more than he does.

"I want to live at last..."

"What did you say, witch? Was it complaining, provoking or offencing this time."

"To you? It could be all of it at the same time. But it seems to be your lucky day..."

"Impossible!" He smirked widely. "So it was none of them! Oh praise be to you."

"Yes... this time, it was nothing."

It really was nothing this time. She thought it was nothing for him, nothing too important. C.C. didn't want to trouble him about anything. Not when he could breathe at last, she didn't want to ruin his first moments of freedom.

At last he's done even more than anyone on earth could ever imagine.

Lelouch had one hundred percent certainty, that C.C. was the only one who fully understood his real intentions, his feelings, how hard it was for him to leave whole world, but at the same time, he wanted to believe that she knows who is his reason to live now, when almost everybody else were gone.

Anybody, thanks for reading! ^^ You are welcome to review, but don't flame, hate, offend or insult! Thanks.
