Lelocuh slowly started to open his eyes and touched his cheek.

"Your finally awake." Said a voice beside him. He slowly turned his head to see Suzaku's smiling face. "Hey there sleeping beauty." He smiled and gently kissed Lelouch's cheek.

"What happened to me?" He asked and laid his head on Suzaku's arm.

Suzaku slowly pulled him closer and gently nuzzled his cheek. "What do you mean love?" He raised an eyebrow and slowly moved his hand to his forehead. "You don't feel like you are running a fever."

"Of course I'm not!" He said and pushed Suzaku's hand away.

Suzaku looked at him a little hurt in his eyes. "I'm sorry.."

"I..I didn't mean to raise my voice at you.." He murmured and took his hand in his. "Don't look at me with those sad eyes."

He held his hand to his mouth and gently kissed it. "Lelouch...I love you so much."

Lelouch smiled and leaned closer towards him to where their foreheads are touching. "I love you too Sazuku."

Suzaku paced around the room watching the doctors start to hook up Lelouch to a bunch of monitors and IV's. It's been two days since he collapsed in his room right after playing his violin. Nunnally sat beside him, her eyes still puffy from crying. For the first day they ran so many test to figure out what was the cause of it. To determine if it was an illness that can be cured or if it was something more. Every time they would stick a needle into him Suzaku's would cringe and make him run away. It hurt his heart to see the person he loved comatose and used as a pincushion. Right now he felt sick to his stomach and wanted to hide again. Nunnally must of felt his uneasiness because she quickly grabbed his hand.

"Please." She whispered through tears. "Lelouch wouldn't want to see you torture yourself like this."

He slowly knelt in front of her and broke down in sobs. "This is all my fault! I was suppose to protect him!" He cried and gripped her hands. "I failed!" He whispered and laid his head on her lap.

She gently laid her hands on top of his head and gently stroked his hair.

Schniezel stood back against the door way with one of the doctors. "Talk to me. What is your diagnostic?"

The doctor wrote on his clip board and sighted. "At first I thought it was a natural cause. If it was that simple I would have been able to cure him in no time. But his test results show and tell me different."

Schniezel nodded and followed the doctor out the room. "What did you find?"

"The Emperor has been heavily dosed with a drug known as Refrain." He said and looked at him. "I'm sure you might have heard of it. It's a popular drug found in the ghetto."

He nodded and rubbed the back of his neck. "What are his chances of regaining consciousness?"

"To be honest my prince..his chances are not looking so good." The doctor sighted. "There is no known cure for this I am afraid."

"So what you are telling me is that my brother might never wake up? What am I suppose to tell our family..no the entire Britannian Empire..?" Schniezel murmured.

"I wouldn't say never..there have been cases where the victim has woken up. My advice to you is too keep the Emperor as comfortable as possible. Monitor his vitals daily." He said and placed his hand on Schniezel's shoulder. "And care for the princess too, she needs your comfort also. I'll be taking my leave. Please keep me updated if his condition gets any better." And with that said the doctor packed up his things and lefts.

By this time Suzaku has already calmed down his sobbing but his eyes told a different story as he kept looking at Lelouch. He could feel his heart break little by little. "I don't understand how this could have happened?" He whispered. "I did everything in my power to make sure nothing happened!" He cried again and looked up at Nunnally. "Why did I fail?"

She gently wiped under his eyes with her thumb. She really didn't know what she could say to him. But she had to be strong for the both of them right now. "You didn't fail..I know you tried your best." She said softly and gently kissed his forehead. "Don't blame yourself for what's happening."

Suzaku looked at her dead in the eye and didn't respond. He simply laid his head back on her lap and closed his eyes. Lelouch.. Lelouch.. Lelouch..
