Lelouch's awakening

[swordofzero]

Characters: Suzaku, Lelouch, any members of room 2-06 who are around.
Setting: Room 2-06 the day the dreamers wake.
Format: Any
Summary: Lelouch wakes up from his five day nap to find his knight being knightly and hopefully these kids sort out some of their issues.
Warnings: Angst is a given, probably mentions of Minato (OU)'s murder spree. Potentially spoilers for Code Geass.

At least finding Lelouch in the meadow had made things simpler. He had something to do, guarding Lelouch to make sure no harm came to him. He had moved Lelouch to his room, since he didn't know nor trust Lelouch's roommates. He had stood watch over him for the last few days, not knowing when or if he would wake. Not knowing the cause of this strange phenomenon which had caused so many to lose consciousness on the same day.

However Suzaku might be a knight and have very high endurance but he was not more than human, by the fifth day tiredness took him and so when Lelouch woke he would find Suzaku sat on the floor head resting against the end of his bed, sleeping.

[There was a blink as Lelouch slowly woke up from his long slumber. Slowly sitting up, the male noted that he was not sleeping on the meadow, which was the last thing he remembered. The bed was a tell-tale sign that he was moved from his resting place, which meant that someone had to carry him. This was also unlikely as from everyone he knew in this tower, only one man was willing to do this-

...

Of course, it had to be him. Why was he not surprised?

There's a sigh as he finally noticed the figure of someone sleeping right beside the bed. It took him a few more seconds to be familiar with the use of his hand yet again, before using his right fist to knock Suzaku's head.]

I see you're still a sleepyhead despite your status, Suzaku.

[swordofzero]

[It was more the words than the knock that woke him up. Suzaku was awake in an instance and turned to face Lelouch with a frown.] You're the one that slept for five days Lelouch.

[His tone was light but he frowned as he stood up again.]

[doublechecks]

Perhaps I did. It certainly felt longer to me.

[And more tiring too. God knows how one can stand being trapped in an endless slumber and trapped in a dream with no way of knowing how to get away from it.]

And what of you? Were you afflicted by it as well?

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku shook his head] I was not, but many others were. Can you remember anything?

[Strictly business, checking Lelouch was alright. It was a lot less painless than letting him think about how he felt about anything.]

[doublechecks]

Vaguely.

[There's a tired wave from him as his arm starts to get used to the concept of moving again. He knew it's too risky to try and get up on his two feet right now. So he'll wait for a while before moving to position both his feet at the side of the bed.]

I recall snippets, but unfortunately, they're just that, fragments.

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku moved, coming closer in case Lelouch needed help getting up.] What can you remember?

[doublechecks]

Conversation attempts, a cemetry, and a recollection of my memories.

[He listed those off without spending time to remember them, after all, they're still fresh in a vague sense within his mind right now.]

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku nodded] Strange... Can you remember any details?

[doublechecks]

A little bit. I dreamt about the Zero Requiem, as well as meeting some familiar faces here and there.

[There's a nod from him.]

[swordofzero]

Zero requiem... [It wasn't something that Suzaku could remember because it hadn't happened for him. It was a sharp reminder that they were from different worlds, no matter how similar.]

[doublechecks]

That's right, your memories did not cover that far of a time frame, didn't it?

[Never mind that, but for a fraction, he seemed... disappointed?]

[swordofzero]

No... We were still fighting, trying to take Damocles. [He noticed that disappointment and watched him cautiously.]

[doublechecks]

And that's when your world ended.

[He's being unsurprisingly blunt today.]

[swordofzero]

Yes. We were shutting down FLEIJA, and then I was here.

[For a while he thought he had ended it, but he doesn't say so, as Lelouch had accused him of that once...]

[doublechecks]

...

[There's silence as Lelouch looked to the sides for all but a few minutes.]

...ah, I see.

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku nodded and remained silent for a moment.

But this was the first time he had been able to talk to Lelouch in a long time without one disaster or another interrupting them, and he had something to ask.]

Why did you Geass Minato?

[doublechecks]

I'm sure even your slow brain can come to that conclusion, Suzaku.

[swordofzero]

[His eyes glinted] Apparently not.
