[Open]

Characters: Suzaku and open
Setting: Floor 95 (ball pit), floor 48 (graveyard) and floor 96 (white room)
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Suzaku has a new job yay for him. He then tries to deal with emotions and fails
Warnings: Angst, bodies, trauma, self destructiveness

[Floor 95] Suzaku had seen plenty of corpses before, caused a few of them to be dead in the first place... caused a lot of them to die...

It wasn't even the first time he had been put to work dragging dead bodies from where they fell, there had been that awful battle after all... the days after Narita had been long ones of dragging bodies from underneath the fallen mountain.

But this was different, the gaudy colourful balls that fell in waterfalls around him only made the job more grim, more crushing.

He had been a soldier so long, had killed so many people. He should be used to it now, but he still mourned each body he pulled up. He didn't even know if they were all residents of the tower or just bodies that had always been there.

He stood on the edge of the stair case and took a deep breath before diving in again.

[Floor 48] Suzaku usually avoided this floor, the rows of graves, empty but the effect on those left behind as painful as if each of them was occupied.

He found the one he was searching for quickly enough and stared at it. Minato Arisato He simply stood there for a moment before bending to place a bullet shattered pocket watch in the grass and flowers growing around it.

"I'm sorry. For everything."

He turned and left the floor, not looking back.

Floor 96 The first time he had been here he had found it strange, the fuzziness in his mind not fading until he was well away from the floor.

But he went back, because sometimes it was best to forget, to not have to replay Diarmuid's words back to him, forget how happy Rolo had looked in the future, forget everything.

He never stayed more than a few hours at first, but soon it got addictive.

Rolo looked over at him with wide, confused eyes. "Taken from my mind? But... But... I wouldn't never betray Nii-san like that!" Because surely letting someone else into his heart is a betrayal of sorts? He just can't imagine placing anyone else over his brother.

He glanced away. "A... future that I can choose... But how do I know if I'll make the right choice?"

"I... can? It's alright then to have more than one person you'd do anything for?" Rolo thought about that for a moment. "Different types of love.. I... But I don't want to grow apart from Nii-san... yet, he's so distant here. Is it really true...? Does he only think of me as someone he can use...? Why does he think that... I don't understand..."

What does he had to do to be acknowledged? To be loved? Was throwing his life away for Lelouch not enough? Was obeying every order he was given not enough?

Rolo looks up at him hopefully at that. "Really? It's just the way he is? He's not being especially cold towards me?"

He thought about it for a long while. "A different future together... I'll really be able to find someone who'll love me?"

Rolo is silent for a moment as he considers all that. "But he isn't is way to Nunnally, is he? She'll always be the most special to him..."

He watches Suzaku for a long while before attempting a little smile. "... thank you."

He looks down at the touch. "... but he did say he is my brother... but I guess I'll never be as important because I'm not blood-related..."

"He... just has to get used to having the two of us...? So... this will get better with time?"

Somehow he wanted to believe that.

Rolo is silent for a long while. "I'll just have to be patient then." There is another long pause. "Thank you for talking to me about this, Suzaku."

Rolo nodded then got up to leave.
