Chapter title: So Distant, Kururugi Suzaku
-
2010 A.B.
Suzaku looked at the city of Japan over the corn field near his house. Wind rushing in large swirl, made his hairs slapped his face. But the feeling of hurt was the last thing on the brunette's mind as he watched the large airship in the distant city.
"Suzaku," his friend, Lelouch staring at his play friend worriedly.
"Lelouch, after I graduate from junior high, I'll join the military."
The black haired man bit his lips worriedly. Though he was still 10 years old, he knows general things about military. It means daily trial and many other things his frail body can't do.
"I want to join so I could protect you," the brunette turn to Brittanian boy with confidence air and reassuring smile.
At the time, the whole 'protect you' thing sound heart warming. So, at the time, Lelouch smiled back at Suzaku, knowing that everything will be alright. Because as always, Suzaku will protect him.

2014 A.B. summer
Suzaku was so talented so before they were graduate from junior high, he received letter from military. Lelouch never been aware before that Suzaku will be away. That they were separated by place. While he stayed at school, Suzaku would be in military.
"Hahahaha, it wasn't that far, Lelouch," Suzaku kissed his cheek. "My place just in the other side of the city. It's just 20 minutes by bus, and we could call each other still."
"But, you would be busy with your training and at night, you'll be too tired to call me," Lelouch slightly depressed at the idea of Suzaku leaving him.
"People say that distance will made heart grow fonder. Why don't we give it a shot?"
"Grow fonder my ass!!"
That afternoon, they went from school together. Buy their favorite ice cream in the usual 24-hours store, this time it was Suzaku's treat. And spent the whole day together. In the corn field, cicadas humming loudly.

"I do very well on my training, Lelouch. Even my instructors were proud of me," said the brunette via phone.
Even though they were away, Lelouch could imagine how wide Suzaku's grin was. in return, he smiled back despite the fact that Suzaku was in no way would see his smile, "I'm happy for you, Suzaku."
"So, how was the school?" Suzaku changed the topic after a few seconds of silence.
It felt different without you there … "As always. Did you know, Milley planning another party just to humiliate me," Lelouch said instead.
"Aww~~ it sounds so fun."
not as fun as with you there, Suzaku…

2014 A.B. winter…
"Lelouch, listen!! I've a good news for you!!"
"Oh yeah? What was that?" somehow it piqued up interest of the usually stoic boy.
"Because I was so good at my training, I'm topping them all, can you believe that?!, they made me official trainee!!" the brunette was squealing through the wire.
"Haha, congratulation then," Lelouch tried to sound casual.
"Yeah, I guess you would say that," Suzaku was much more sober and calm now, "The election would be around new year…"
Therefore, I won't be able to see you this new year…, was left unsaid but it dawned well on both of them.
Lelouch bit his bottom lip and forced a happy tone even if it fake one, "Well, you better not messed on the ceremony like you did at welcome ceremony back at school."
"Sure, I won't let you down, Lelouch…" the brunette tried to cheer up his black haired friend in other end. But Lelouch didn't reply. Pull another deep breath, Suzaku focused his feeling into his next words.
"Lelouch, I miss you. I miss you…" his voice started to breaking and sounds desperate, "…God, I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU, LELOUCH!!!."
But Lelouch didn't said a thing. He knew that the Brittanian boy heard him though he said no word. Suzaku hung up the phone after full five minutes of silence and 'I love you'.

2015 A.B winter
Right before Suzaku depart for his election, a letter was given to him by the dorm keeper. Inside was pictures, the two of them in Kururugi temple, and the newest picture of Lelouch in his navy blue uniform. Lelouch was smiling -or close to that- holding his graduation certificate. But there is something else, and Suzaku's eyes blurred at the sight of innocent small button.

2017 A.B summer
Lelouch was in his darkening mood. For this past one whole month, Suzaku hasn't call him. and the last thing he expected was persistent knocking on his door at goddamn hour. He was tired after uneventful days in school and the weather just unbearably hot.. and he hadn't much stamina in the first place.
"Who's tha…?" the question died on his throat before he could complete it.
Right in his front door was none else other than Kururugi Suzaku, with his toothy grin, "Hi, Lelouch, do you miss me?"
In which earned Suzaku a straight punch that threatened to breaking his nose. And then Lelouch's called him by petname 'Idiot' while hugging him and scolding him. And a mind numbing make-up intercourse as well as love making afterwards.
For whole three days, Suzaku stayed Lelouch's apartment. They were exhausted and spent but very happy.

2018 A.B winter
Suzaku bought them matching cell phone. One for Lelouch was light purple -Lelouch too embarrassed to call it pink- while Suzaku's was light blue. Suzaku was so proud of himself, since he was drifted further away from Lelouch and could only do little things to him. By giving him phone, somehow he wanted Lelouch to remember him everytime he saw the cell.
"Dude, what's on your strap cell?" ask Gino, one of the high ranked military man who also his best friend.
Suzaku lifted his cell and smiling at the sight of small button there, "It's button from our school uniform."
"That's kinda strange even for you, Suzaku."
"What are you implying?" Suzaku rib-hitting the blond, "This is from Lelouch."
The blond's usually bright face become brighter at the mention of Suzaku's lover, his lips turned upward, "But, why with the button, Suzaku? Surely he could give you better strap.."
"It is special button, it was the second button therefore the closest to the heart," Suzaku jab his own chest where his heart beating steadily. His face then became softer as he remembers the purple eyed youngster, "This is the symbol that he gave me his heart."

"Colonel Kururugi, you were so good at driving mecha. Therefore you'll be posted under general Llyod," his commander said.
Suzaku's heart seemed stopped beating. He didn't know whether should be happy or otherwise.
"His team had travelling to Pluto this far and he'd done many success mission. For the time being your presence was to be expected in Moon Base. Is that clear?"
Though a bit reluctant and the words felt heavy in his mouth, Suzaku held his head straight. Finality in his eyes, "Yes Sir."
-
Lelouch was on his way home when his phone beeping as a sign of he got new message.
[to: You. From: Suzaku. Message: I moved to Moon Base. It's beautiful here, you should come too sometimes.]
He stared at the phone with frown before quickly typing back a message.
-
Suzaku's phone beeping, and he smiled when he read the message there though it contain only three words..
[to: You. From: Lelouch. Message: You Paying, JERK.]

2018 A.B. spring
To: You
From: Suzaku
Message: I'll moving to Mars this April. Once I was there, I could only sending email. It seemed that I was more closer to the universe than before.
Lelouch closed his phone. Strangely, he no longer look forward to go home early like he did before he received the message. He resent the emptiness that greet him once he was home.
-
2018 A.B summer
To: You
From: Lelouch
Message: I'm happy that you were promoted again. I was looking outside and the cicadas remind me that it has been four years since you enter the military.
Suzaku took deep breath and closed his eyes morosely. The email took longer now, the date Lelouch send it was yesterday. Four year, and between that four year he never missed cicadas' cry this much before..
"Suzaku, don't lose your focus. We'll depart in 10 minutes. Are you ready?" ask the static voice of his commander.
"Yes Sir," was all Suzaku could say.

2018 A.B. summer
To: You
From: Suzaku
Message: Lelouch, there's only endless black in the universe. The planets only looked beautiful from far away because it didn't as pretty inside. In Neptune, there's this constant dust mist that made it hard to see through. Gino said that one of stupid crew one tried to sneak out but the man freeze to death right after creaking the door open.
Lelouch frown at the man's stupidity, without him knowing, Rivalz was eyeing him curiously.
"Who's that, Lulu?" he whispered carefully, didn't want to get caught talking in Professor Jeremiah's class.
"Suzaku, he's…," he paused before continuing, "He's probably in Pluto now. It took 2 weeks now."
Rivalz just nodded though he didn't know what Lelouch mean by 2 weeks.
Tomorrow, I'll love you more than today
I can't stop these overflowing emotions
Even though right now I'm already loving you this much
I can't even put it into words
The days you given me add up
The day we've passed together, and the miracle of us walking along
2019 A.B. summer
To: Lelouch
From: You
Message: Lelouch, probably I was on the other galaxy by the time you received this email. Everything seemed out of balance now. Some of the crew lost their mind from this unending journey and committed suicide. This other galaxy has living things, alien, that constantly attacking us. It's good thing that we somehow upperhand them in battle so far.. but still, I was expected to back-upped the research team that arrived before me.
[unit 701 please report your status. We're entering the atmosphere in 15 minutes]
"Unit 701, checking all weapons complete, checking fuel and engine complete, checking the synchronize ratio of the machine complete, all preparation to enter the atmosphere complete. Unit 710 ready to enter the atmosphere in 15 minutes," Suzaku said in monotone voice. His eyes straying at the corner where he put picture of them together.
Whether out meeting was coincidence or fate, just the fact that we've met Is a miracle!
We walk close together, making our eternal love real
I want to be smiling by your side, always
"Thank you", oh, and, "I love you" just aren't enough, so at least let me say I am happy
2019 A.B. autumn
After reading Suzaku's latest email, Lelouch looked up where the moon usually snuggle in the blanket of darkness. But it was nowhere to be seen now.
From inside the room, the news was on […the astronomy team reported this phenomenon will be seen in Japan…today, why don't you take your family to watch the sky together. Until then… ]
"Lelouch, are you still thinking of him?" someone on his left asked emotionlessly. "It's impossible, you know…" the younger male hold him from behind whispering false maleficent to his heart, "..that man abandon you for his dream. But see, I'm right here with you, I'll love you, Lelouch.."
Lelouch didn't budge from his place, nor let his gaze slid for a moment. If anything, his lips curling upward made it the most ethereal smile, "No, you wrong, Rolo. Suzaku loves me."
That sentence snapped Rolo out of his mind. He… he losing control as he flipped out and…
Just having your right hand enclosed in my left hand, made me feel your love
We found that tiny bit of happiness in each days
The miracle of us walking slowly on the paths
Our meeting is just one small thing in a big world but even the fact that we've met is a miracle!
His face frowned in concentration. The battle was begin since 3 hours ago. It wasn't bad, his first mission on Earth taken more toll on him compared to this one. But he can't ease that nagging feeling, as if something was wrong. Well, even if something was indeed wrong, he couldn't put finger on it. He has no worries with himself, all he was worried about for all along was Lel…
"Suzaku! Focus!! We don't want to lose you or any more damage to my precious Lancelot," his commander, Lloyd whinning again through the wireless connection.
"Yes, Sir," was all Suzaku answer before he maneuvered to his right to avoid another attack.
Even on days when nothing goes right just being together cheers me up
And I can forget the bravado and loneliness
When I'm with you, la~la~ , I can be myself
Just stay with me forever, my beloved
He had never see it coming. But then again, all he had seen was the darkened night sky, wondering in which star Suzaku was right now. Since the brunette wasn't there with him.
But the pain that piercing his chest was sharp and so sudden. Now that he remembered it, he heard loud shot voice before he felt pain. And then his knees given up on him. He heard shouting, more shouting, probably it was Rolo again.
But it didn't really matter. All that matter is Suzaku…
When we fooled around on the way home, that was one of our precious days too
And when I finally got the courage to tell you how I felt
The expression on your face was one I'd never seen before
There was a pause, and then you nodded our hearts are filled with love
We're still on our journey towards the future that will hopefully continue for many many years
Suzaku rubbed his forehead. The war against the alien didn't seem close to its end though he'd been driving Lancelot for nearly ten hours. His muscle felt sore, he needed break, even rush of adrenaline no longer there to support him. He was tired and want this to end up soon.
Loud explosion from his left but Suzaku was less care even if his comrade shot down another alien or if the said comrade was being shot down by aliens. He glanced at the picture in the dashboard, Lelouch's smile never vail to give him spirit no matter how drained he was.
But in that split millisecond, he saw something had go through the cockpit glass. Something that looked like one of the alien's sharp limbs. Then, he felt warm all of sudden as the alien pulled out its blade. Slowly, he felt piece all of sudden.
Even though it just picture of Lelouch, he feels as if the raven haired male was there with him. Like back then at that summer night..
Even if we lost sight of tomorrow, we walk close together making our eternal love real
I want to be smiling by your side, always
"Thank you" and, oh, "I love you" just aren't enough so at leat let me say, I'm happy
Just stay with me forever, my Beloved, until the last second
Lelouch continue to stare at the sky.. up there, he saw one falling star. He wasn't the type to believe fairytale. But this night, this particular night, he make a wish upon the falling star, to bring him where Suzaku does. When he opened his eyes again, more stars falling so beautifully, like firework on that summer night..
Tomorrow, I'll smile more than today
Just being with you makes me feel that way
Ten years, hundred years, ten thousand years, Let's just stay together
I love you
~*~*~*~
Some of you maybe realize that the plot was mimicked "Hoshi no Koe" with addition details from my own self… I was gazing at the sky when I remembered this particular anime -and song- and suddenly felt down.. It's a great anime despite the heartbreaking story… :'(
Please review, Minna'san.. T.T
