Shatter
AN: Set in Turn 7 of Code Geass: R2. Just so ya know.

My hands are shaking.
Days ago I was composure, collected and driven. Proved right by the injustices of this world, and re-established in my rightful place as Zero. Now look at me.
I can't stand to be him. Him. Me. Whichever. Doesn't matter, we're the same coin after all. She's decided already, her moment of judgment has finally come to pass, and I'm found lacking.
Ringing again, I've grown to hate that sound. This piece of plastic and metal, don't bother me right now. Crack and splinter, and never show that other side of me again.
Break.
That edge is looming, I know. Until now, I've had a guide light in my life, noble in her purity. The room's dark now, and I can't find my way out.
"…the 87th successor to the throne of Britannia, Nunally…"
NO. Please. I can't…
Everything's closing in. My body pushes the weak limitations it has, my legs faltering even as I scramble to escape. I don't know where I am, but I recognize the decrepit buildings vaguely. The ghettos. Lovely.
Humanity's low. Devour, consume, and destroy until we're so lonely that we self-destruct.
Just one more push…
His hand on my face. Everything building and piling and growing in my head and heart, it finally just breaks in that moment. Fall to the ground. Dance. Howl. Bark. CRY. My insanity on the outside is somewhat amusing.
I laugh amidst the rubble, and I break just a little bit more.

AN: So…wow. Anyway, I've just been itching to write something, and this finally came out after re-watching Turn 7. Got into this series way before the Adult Swim airing, and I'm leaning more towards the subs than the dubs. The angst in this ep was just too…ugh. Anyway, review, I'm not really too sure about my style anymore, it's been way too long since I've done this.
