Code Geass "Bokura no Hibi" #17

Apr 17, 2008 22:13

I'm back with the 17th and final Bokura no Hibi. Yes, this is the end! Whether there will be more of these for R2 is uncertain as of now. This one features Suzaku and Lelouch in a fairly melancholic story. Who knew that lying on the grass and cutting class could cause serious talk of dreams and darkness.

Foreshadowing, anyone?

Suzaku: (sigh) The afternoon classes have already started......

I've been continually late and absent these days, so it's kind of difficult for me to walk into class...... I suppose I could kill some time in the Student Council Room, at least until the next class starts.

On second thought, no, that just isn't right of me. Gotta hurry.

--Wait, there's a really familiar person taking a good ol' hearty afternoon nap on the lawn...

Lelouch: ......Suzaku? Did you just arrive?

Suzaku: Did I wake you up, Lelouch?

Lelouch: Nah, don't worry 'bout it.

Suzaku: If you're just going to sleep anyway, why not show up for class and sleep through it using your usual pose?

Lelouch: Confining myself to the classroom on a beautiful day like this makes for a pretty sad life, don't you think?

Suzaku: Eh, I thought earnestly showing up for classes is one of your principles in life.

Lelouch: Looked like I was going to be late, so I decided to skip it. Doing things half-assed is an even bigger display of a lack of sincerity, I find.

Suzaku: Your logic is as mind-boggling as always......

Lelouch: (yawn) ......I had a few dreams.

Suzaku: Good ones?

Lelouch: So-so.

Suzaku: I don't really dream. Always dead asleep, I am.

Lelouch: Apparently most artists, artisans and athletes don't dream much.

Suzaku: Uh, I don't think I fall into any of those categories......

Lelouch: True, but what I'm saying is that someone like you who's always rushing about in top gear juggling military duties, school life and the Student Council wouldn't have the time to dream. My advice: Just do a passable job and take things easy.

Suzaku: Thing is, I don't quite know how to slack off and cut corners. Unlike you, Lelouch, I'm not the cunning sort.

Lelouch: I wish you'd say that I have a 'thorough grasp on the proper allocation of resources' instead.

Suzaku: Wow, would you listen to him! (laugh) Still, I didn't think someone as neurotic as you would be able to sleep out in the open.

Lelouch: I've been well-trained. I can sleep on the floor, too.

Suzaku: On the floor?

Lelouch: 'Sides, I like the nostalgic smell of grass. I also like the blue of the sky, the way it's always the same no matter where you are. The sound of running water from the stream over in the courtyard calms me, too.

Suzaku: You can actually hear the sound of running water?

Lelouch: If you lie still and listen closely you'll start to hear it, little by little. You can even hear the movements of the riverbed.

Suzaku: If you can hear even that you've got some amazing ears......

Lelouch: Try it. You'll get what I mean.

Suzaku: That so?

........................

......But you're right, it does feel great......

Lelouch: Doesn't it feel as though the static noise in your body's evaporating into the warm sunlight?

Suzaku: Kinda feels like I'm about to melt......

Lelouch: Closing my eyes and watching the red darkness behind my eyelids like this makes me feel as though something important, something nostalgic is coming towards me from up above.

Suzaku: ......Yeah.

......It really does feel that way......

........................

Lelouch: Aren't you going to class?

Suzaku: You're evil. It's simply impossible to go now.

((END))
