Here you go guys. Chapter 2 is finished and as promised, it's out pretty quickly. As I am not a fan of fics, where the writers need weeks to upload a new chapter, I do not want to do the same to you guys.~! I want to thank anyone who followed my story. Still, I would like some reviews too.~! Okay enough with me and my non-sense. Hope you guys enjoy the chapter.

"Lelouch, why are pushing me away? Aren't you happy to see me?" Lelouch, stood there utterly frozen. "What the hell are you talking about? And who are you?" And with those four last words, which escaped Lelouch's lips, he froze.
Chapter 2.
"Ehh, Lelouch? You don't know me? I am Suzaku Kururugi. Your best friend." Lelouch had a still cold expression on his face pretty much showing that he did not know Suzaku. Not in this universe at least. "No, I do not know any Kururugi Suzaku and neither do I want to know one." Lelouch stood up and exited the room, leaving Suzaku standing in the middle of the classroom, utterly frozen and shattered. Most definately shattered.
'Lelouch, why? I love you. I love you. I love you. But why? Please, tell me why you'd forgotten me."
Even though he could not understand Lelouch's ignorance, he should have known better. C.C. had warned him. She had told him that the Lelouch of this world, might be completely different from the Lelouch he knew. The Lelouch he loved. When he finally was able to move, he exited the classroom and started walking until a pair of arms, wrapped around his waist stopped him. He turned around only to see Nunnally. Nunnally? 'Wait, isn't she supposed to be blind and unable to walk? Maybe not in this universe.'
"Hello, Nunnally. How are you doing?", he asked her faking a smile. "I am fine, Suzaku-kun. I see you met my brother. Do not mind him, he is a bit cold and introverted, but he is really kind when you get to know him.", she smiled brightly, still hugging Suzaku. "Milly told me that you were late again, Suzaku-kun. Why? Is there anything bothering you?"
He chuckled trying to sound natural, not wanting to show her his devastation. "No, nothing actually. I may just have developed a passion for sleeping. That is all." "Yokatta*. You know I was really worried about you." He hugged her. "Never worry about me Nunnally. Promise?" Her face brightened. "Promise."
'Why is it so hard to be like that with Lelouch? Ne, Lelouch please promise me that you will remember me.'
He was back in his room, laying on his bed, crying, when he heard a voice behind him. "Things aren't going as planned, huh?" C.C.? He turned around only to see C.C. sitting on hin desk, her hair flowing in the air from the cold wind coming through his wide open window. "Are you here to mock me, witch?", he asked her, his voice cold as ice. "Do not talk to me like that. Afterall, I made your wish come true. Lelouch is well and alive, isn't he?" Suzaku left out a deep sigh and looked at her. "Yes, he is. But he is not Lelouch. He is just someone looking like him. The real Lelouch might be cold sometimes but he is a truly warm person, when he is with people he loves and cares about." C.C. chuckled. "And who told you he is not like that anymore? He just does not know you. So he is cold, when around you. That's reality, Kururugi. You took the risk. You went to a completely different universe. Everything is different. Haven't you yet noticed?"
She was right. Everything was peaceful. Nobody talked about the fights between Japan and Britannia. "Yeah, everything is more peaceful. Like there is no war going on." C.C. chuckled again. "Nipon and Britannia had managed to live together in harmony in this universe. There are no Black Knights nor a rebellion against Britannia. So, everything is peaceful. And because there was no war, you never got to meet Lelouch."
'So, this is what happened in this world. Everything sounds so nice. But why do I wish there had been a war instead of peace?'
"But, Nunnally knows who I am. It looks as if we are good friends in this universe." C.C. looked at him and replied. "Maybe you met her at school and became friends with her. But do not ask me all these questions about this particular world. It's not like I know everything about it. You look like you need some company though. And help. Lots of help, Kururugi. But I cannot stay in this world forever. Try to meet this new Lelouch, become friends with him and get him to remember you. You know every person has deep inside their hearts memories of their other selves from the other world lines. Maybe, if you try hard, he might remember his time with you." And then she added whispering. "And love you like he used to." Suzaku's slightly closed eyes opened at the instant moment he heard these words. But C.C. had already disappeared.
'Lelouch, did you really love me? Is that crazy witch right? Please tell me she is, Lelouch.'
He hadn't been able to sleep properly. Who is he kidding? He hadn't been able to sleep at all. After his conversation with C.C. he always kept repeating her last words in his head. Did, Lelouch really love him? He involtutary stood up, trying to get ready for school, but his movements were slow as if he was a zombie. Knowing that Lelouch had been in love with him made everything so much harder for him. This "new" Lelouch, did not want to have anything to do with him. He had made himself more than clear. 'I do not know any Kururugi Suzaku and nor do I want to know one.' 'Why the hell is everything so damn hard?'
He had managed to get to his classroom fairly quickly. Maybe it was due to his lack of sleep. Or better his non-existant sleep as he had managed to close his eyes for only twenty minutes, only to be woken up, by the reminescense of Lelouch's smiling face. He found his seat and sat down, crushing his head on the desk's surface, closing his eyes, while sighing deeply. That was until he heard a pair of footsteps coming to his direction. He opened his eyes, only to see Lelouch in front of him. 'What is he doing here? Isn't he a 2-3 class student?'
"What are you doing here so early, Kururugi?", Lelouch asked him, with a still cold tone in his voice. "Well, I couldn't sleep. So, I came here a bit earlier. I thought it would be better. My room was depressing me. It reminds me of some things that I'd rather forget." Suzaku was referring to his fun times with Lelouch there. Talking about school projects, the student's body council. They used to sit there, while laughing each time Arthur would come, only to bite him. "Are you missing someone right now?", Lelouch asked him, seeming to have softened a bit. His cold mask was slowly vanishing from his sweet, bewitching face. "Yes, I do.", Suzaku replied, whispering. "You know what, you do not seem like a bad guy Kururugi. So, I am sorry for yesterday's rudeness. You just surprised me. If I am guessing right, I am reminding you of this person you seem to be missing. You know I am jealous of this person. Having someone loving them so much."
'If only you knew, Lelouch. If only you knew.'
To be continued.~
