Suzaku x Nina
With the Third Battle for Japan on the Horizon Suzaku reflects on how he got to this point with a very unlikely source.
(Hotel)
A naked Suzaku Kururugi woke up and made his way over to the shower in order to wash his face knowing that today was the day that it would all change, "Lelouch, today we settle this once and for all" Suzaku muttered as he prepared himself for the battle later today. The Black Knights were on the way and he knew that he would once again be up against his oldest friend Lelouch Vi Britannia.
"Is everything alright Suzaku" a female voice said before wrapping her arms around the young man. If you asked anybody who knew Suzaku if he had a lover they'd say absolutely. Their first guess would be Cecile Croomy who worked with him on the Lancelot. Their other guess would be his fellow Knight of the Round Anya Alstreim, the pair were surprisingly close considering her timid nature. Those people would be wrong.
"I'm fine Nina, I'm just nervous." Suzaku smiled as he turned around to kiss the young verdette on the lips. Ask anybody who knew the pair and the LAST person that anybody would suspect Suzaku to date would be Nina Einstein. After all Nina was a well-known xenophobe and for her to be with Suzaku was a shock.
"Of course. Today's the day we take revenge at last" Nina smiled.
'Revenge huh' Suzaku thought to himself as he thought back to how this bizarre relationship began.
Flashback
"As you've no doubt heard I'll be joining the Knights of the Round as of today." Suzaku said calmly dressed in the white uniform he normally sported as the pilot of the Lancelot. The person he was addressing was Schneizel el Britannia, the older brother of his best friend Lelouch and the Prime Minister of Japan. Schneizel had corn-silk blonde hair that fell across his neck and cold violet eyes. Because he was sitting on you only saw part of his infamous purple tunic with black and gold accents.
"Yes I have. I heard it was for capturing Zero for father." Schneizel replied with an odd expression on his face. Next to him was his assistant whose name Suzaku never remembered a man with rose colored hair and blue eyes.
"That's correct and before you ask Prince Schneizel the Emperor has ordered that I not reveal Zero's identity." Suzaku said bashfully knowing his boss very well. The fact that it was the young brother of the man in front of him and one that was presumed dead it would be a horrible look for the empire and one that would cause many questions for the Emperor and none of them good.
Schneizel looked at him with disappointment but understood, "Very well but before you go I'd like to ask you one more favor" Schneizel said with a smile on his face.
"Of course" Suzaku replied sternly. He owed Schneizel a great debt and he always intended to repay it.
"I've found a new assistant for Lloyd and because of your connection to her and Lloyd's horrible ability to associate with others I want you to show her around."
"Of course Prince Schneizel it's the least I could do." Suzaku replied calmly.
"Kanon please bring her in" Schneizel asked the man next to him.
"Of course" the man replied before bringing in somebody that surprised Suzaku.
"Nina!" Suzaku exclaimed not expecting this at all.

"That's right. Today we take revenge for Princess Euphemia" Nina said with a glaze in her eyes that Suzaku found both beautiful and horrifying at the same time. During the first battle for Japan, Nina activated a device that even Lloyd was terrified by in order to kill Zero and take revenge for the death of Princess Euphemia during the special zone. At the time he assumed that it was because Euphy saved her during the hotel jacking and Nina simply admired Euphy for her bravery. He would later find out just how deep those feelings went.
Flashback
"So I'm back huh" Suzaku groaned as he went into his old base for his latest mission, spying on Camelot for the Emperor and determining if Schneizel would betray him just like Lelouch did. It was the first major mission that he got from the Emperor since Lelouch's capture, the Emperor likely trying to get a good read on the young man. Luckily for him, Lloyd trusted him enough to give him a key to the base and now here he was sneaking into the base late at night trying to see what his old boss was doing. Even though many said Lloyd was married to machines, he didn't spend all his time at the base and Suzaku was going to take advantage of it. Walking through the base he made his way towards Lloyd's office hoping to at least see what the eccentric man was planning, at least that what he originally planned to do until he heard a voice moan.
"Princess" the voice moaned out.
"What the heck" Suzaku thought to himself as he went towards the voice.
"Princess" the voice cried out again. This time the voice was clearer and using some stealth tricks that Todou taught him he made his way closer to the source.
"Princess Euphemia" the voice cried out once more and this time he knew who it was and what the person was doing.
'You gotta be kidding me" Suzaku whispered in disbelief as he watched the verdette masturbate on a desk to a photo of Princess Euphemia. True he spent many a night thinking about Euphy even now, though he wouldn't tell a soul, but to think that Nina felt the same way was a shock.
"Princess Euphemia please don't stop" Nina moaned out.
'Woah' Suzaku thought to himself as he imagined the verdette Nina and Euphy naked and playing with each other. Putting those thoughts aside Suzaku steeled himself and opened the door with an expression fitting that of his old friend.
"Hello Nina" Suzaku said with a devious smile as he looked at the verdette with a hand in her panties and her upper body fully exposed.
"S-S-S-Suzaku! What are you doing here?" Nina exclaimed aware of her lack of dress and that she was unable to hide herself.
"We can talk about what I'm doing later. How about we talk about what you were doing." Suzaku smirked in a way that would make Lelouch proud.
"Umm… well…." Nina said bashfully. Thanks to Cecil she was aware that Suzaku and her beloved Princess were involved with one another, so this was as humiliating.
"I won't tell anybody but I want you to continue" Suzaku said coolly.
"Huh" Nina said in disbelief her face blushing slightly.
"You clearly love Euphy and me, well I miss her too" Suzaku smiled as he walked towards the verdette.
"Suza-" Nina started to say before Suzaku put his finger on her lips.
"Just keep doing what you're doing Nina and maybe… maybe I can help you" Suzaku smiled. This kind of seduction wasn't his style but he knew that he wouldn't get a better ally to spy on his old boss.
Flashback end
"Suzaku keep moving" Nina cried out as the shower water poured down their bodies and Suzaku hammered Nina from behind. When she was 13 she was raped by a Japanese man who was clearly drunk when she was walking her dog late at night. Her house at the time was right near the border of the settlement and the ghetto and that area was dangerous but that night she couldn't sleep and she figured it was harmless. The fact that it was an eleven that had her crying in pleasure instead of pain was rather ironic to the former xenophobe and admitting as much to Suzaku after their first time together was very soothing. She also revealed, that she fell for Euphemia because she believed that the 11 soldiers would've raped her just as the drunk did those many years ago and then tossed her broken body to her death. She hero worshipped the Princess for the bravery that she showed and that worship led to love.
"Here we go Nina" Suzaku replied with his hands on her hips pounding her. In a backwards way it was his relationship with Nina that helped him get over Euphie's death at least until Zero came back and it spurned both of them back into a very dark place. It took everything he had to stop Nina from killing Zero back in the Chinese Federation and even he would admit that he was a little rougher on her than usual the night before the Tianzi's wedding because both were angry at the man; Nina because the object of her revenge wasn't dead as she had been led to believe and Suzaku because he was almost certain that his best friend Lelouch was back under the mask.
(Scene Skip)
"You want me to use the F.L.E.I.J.A" Suzaku gasped realizing that Nina had mounted the F.L.E.I.J.A warhead on his Lancelot. The F.L.E.I.J.A was Nina's ultimate creation and something she came onto by chance when working on a separate project. Princess Euphemia's death spurned her into making the once peaceful project into a weapon. Although it failed during the Black Rebellion, that warhead and her devotion to Euphy was the reason why Schneizel brought her in after Suzaku's departure.
"You're the best choice Suzaku." Nina said in a cheerful voice that hid the malice that was no doubt filling her body knowing that Zero was on the way. In an ironic way, she was right about Suzaku because he was the architect of Japan's demise twice already. First he killed his father in order to force Japan's surrender in the original invasion and then he was the one who captured Zero and brought him before the Emperor. This time, he held the weapon that could not only destroy Tokyo, but end the UFN and with it any resistance to Britannia's rule.
"I know but" Suzaku said nervously before Nina wrapped her arms around him. Luckily for them nobody was around because their relationship was a secret.
"Suzaku it has to be you. You're the one that the Black Knights will target. You are the one that Zero must stop. You are a Knight of the Round but you are also a Japanese man who loved his country." Nina said with a sweet voice like a siren. Suzaku was about to reply but they were interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Am I interrupting" Lloyd smirked as he walked in on the pair along with a slightly blushing Cecile Croomy. Lloyd knew about the pair and knew that Suzaku was watching him for the Emperor but he allowed it because he knew that the pair needed each other. Suzaku and Nina were both jaded people and both were aware of the dark side of the world.
"No I was just calming Suzaku down before the big battle" Nina said calmly. It was a bit embarrassing to be seen hugging him but considering Lloyd appeared to be oblivious to human emotions they weren't worried.
Lloyd looked up and noticed the powerful device strapped to the Lancelot and smiled in a way that hid his concern, "Suzaku do you remember when I asked you why you were a soldier despite hating violence." Lloyd mused.
"Yes I do. I told you that I'm a soldier to prevent further violence." Suzaku replied.
"Then let me warn you of something right now. The weapon in front of you is a monster like nothing the world has ever seen. If you fire it people will die, in fact many people will die. It will be a massacre that makes what happened at the special zone seems like child's play." Lloyd said coldly knowing how the pair felt about the famous incident.
"Lloyd" Cecile admonished. It was a cruel thing to do and her boss knew it. Cecile was one of the few people aware of just how intelligent Lloyd was and she knew that her boss was being particularly cruel.
Lloyd's expression turned serious for a moment shocking the whole group, "That's enough Cecile because this is not the time to coddle him. I've allowed him to get away with his way of thinking because of the Lancelot but this is different." Lloyd lectured.
"Lloyd" Suzaku said in disbelief not knowing this side of his boss.
"If you use this weapon the world will change for the worse and you two will be synonymous with destruction like nothing the world has ever seen."
'I know" Suzaku replied aware of the same thing.
"Oh" Lloyd wondered.
"Nina was right for many reasons but here is the main one. I won't use the F.L.E.I.J.A unless I have to because I know the type of damage it can do. Because of my situation I'm the only one who will truly care about Japan's fate and that's why Nina is giving me this weapon" Suzaku replied.
"I see" Lloyd replied with a rare smile that almost unnerved the pair.
"Suzaku" Nina said in disbelief not expecting this at all.
"If I can end things peacefully I will, but if I must fire the F.L.E.I.J.A I will do so also." Suzaku replied. It was his resolve and Nina's resolve and in many ways the F.L.E.I.J.A was the final step to a long evolution. From the moment he first took the Lancelot key from Lloyd he knew that he could change the world. Now he finally had the means to do it and it came from a source that he never expected.
"Good luck" Nina smiled as she sent Suzaku away. She was the shy one. Among the student council most of the members were obvious to Ashford Academy. Lelouch and Milly were the faces of the council, strong leaders who were as impressive as they were mysterious. Shirley and Kallen were two beauties who were only surpassed in beauty by the president. Rivalz was a friendly guy who anybody could get along with. Then there was her, the bookworm who everyone wondered about and nobody really cared about. Now she had evolved become the person she wanted to be and it was thanks to the man she sent away. Their shared love for the late Princess and hatred for Zero spurned them to become greater than either could on their own. The F.L.E.I.J.A was their resolve and now it was time to see just how far it would go.
Unfortunately for them, Lloyd was right about just how horrible the F.L.E.I.J.A really was. Suzaku's resolve was destroyed from a Geass given to him by his former friend and the warhead was unleashed. As the damage from the warhead was revealed the pacifist and the verdette cried in horror at what they had done. The most ironic part about all the destruction, was that it was done in the name of a person who made both realize just how beautiful the world was.
