First of all, I am truly sorry for my late update. But, I had to do many things this past week and everything was really chaotic. Having finished with my Ancient Greek lessons, I can finally say that I am free to enjoy the rest of my summer holidays. Now back to the point. This is going to be the last chapter of the story "Please, Remember Me" and I really hope that you enjoy it. I decided against a lemon. But if it gets requested, I might actually contemplate about making one as new one-shot. ~

'What can I do to make you remember me Lelouch? What should I do? It's too much having you so close to me and not be able to hold you tight. Mere and pure torture.'
With that he felt his body slowly collapsing onto the floor and with any left power in his body, he managed to reach his bed, succumbing into a dreamless sleep.
Chapter 4. (Final Chapter)
"Look, I know you are upset about something, but please do me the favour and stand up. You have to attend some lessons. You know it's not weekend already." C.C. was standing right in front of Suzaku's sleeping figure, who did not make any possible movements to show her that he was actually woken up. And the truth was that he wasn't. "God, Kururugi, wake up. It's not like I will be here for too much time. I have jobs to do in our other universe. Remember? The one you came from.", she started shacking his body brutally, when his eyes shock open. When he realised that C.C. was standing right in front of him, he started screaming. "What the hell are you doing here C.C.? This surprise visits from you aren't funny any more." C.C. left out a sigh. "You know, if I weren't here you would still be sleeping, when you should have been in your classroom."
He looked at his watch realising that the crazy witch standing right in front of him was right. He indeed was already late for school. "Okay, now that I am woken up, do you mind leaving me alone and let me get prepared for school. I need some privacy, you know." C.C. chuckled ironically and looked at Suzaku with a sadistic grin on her face. "Hai, hai, if your majesty needs his privacy, then I cannot do much about it", she mocked him and in an instant she jumped from the open window next to her and disappeared. Even though C.C. was the one who had helped him get to this parallel universe, he found her ability to always be present quite disturbing.
Having put on the first clothes he saw in front of him, he left his room in a hurry. As he is one of the best athletes at Ashford Academy, he knew that he would manage to get to class, fairly quickly avoiding an additional absense from his attendance record. And he surely had many of those. He would have managed to get to class on time, if he hadn't crushed on a person in the final corridor, which led to his classroom. "Oh, god. I am sorry, I was in a hurry and-", his lips stopped moving when he realised, who the other person was. Lelouch was just right under him, his beautiful black-purple hair falling on the soft skin of his face.
'You are so beautiful Lelouch. Everything about you. Every last bit completing your compelling personality.'
"Skip class with me", Lelouch voice came out as a soft whisper. "Huh? Are you in your right mind, Lelouch? We cannot just skip class!" Okay, now he sounded more than hysterical. "Oh, you are no fun, Kururugi. Seriously, if you want to release yesterday's tension, then just skip class with me. Get to know me better. I don't want us to stay like that forever, because of such an unfortunate event." Suzaku stayed there looking at him awe-struck. The way Lelouch spoke right know, reminded him of himself. This Lelouch was different. More relaxed and cheerful. Less stressed and held-back. He showed more emotion. He was more open. A laugh escaped his lips and nodded. "Okay, just this time, Lelouch. Just this time." A bewitching smile grew on Lelouch's face. "Now, I think you can move, Kururugi. You are crushing me." Suzaku blushed and stood up. " I am really sorry."
'This was so embarassing. But what is Lelouch thinking? Why would he ask him to skip class with him? Things are so freaking weird right now.'
"Let's go to the roof top. It has a beautiful view and nobody is going to see us. And I am sure you do not want to get caught skiping class. Right, Suzaku?" He slowly nodded and followed Lelouch's lead. They slowly crossed the stairs and opened the door as silently as possible. It creaked causing them to feel this creepy feeling as if they were in a haunted, abandoned house. But it did not cause anything worse than a bad shiver. When the door was finally open they found an old bench. "So is there anything specific that you want to talk about, Lelouch?" It seemed as if Lelouch was ashamed of what he was about to say. " I know that this is the reason you got angry yesterday, but I really want to know about this person. The person that is so lucky to have someone like you love them."
'Again. Again you touch this delicate subject Lelouch. But if I do not say anything, nothing will change. Nothing."
"I am going to tell you, but promise me you will believe me. Promise you won't think that I am a weird creep." Lelouch nodded and smiled. " I won't. I promise." "Then good. Have you ever heard of John Titor, Lelouch?" It looked as if Lelouch was already a bit confused. "No."
"Well, then let me expain you. John Titor was a time traveler, said to come from 2036. He had travelled through time and went to 1975 to get the well-known computer IBM 5100, which could read and translate the two basic computer languages. APL and BASIC. Well, after that he made a stop at 2000, where he created a website, from which he shared his opinions about time travelling, parallel universes and world lines. His basic idea, was that there are thousands of parallel universes, each one of them having their own history, past, present and future. Each one is unique and none of them can be the same." Lelouch looked at him with a serious tone on his face and rather anticipating facial expresions.
"I come from another universe, Lelouch. From the universe I come from we were best friends. Nipon and Britannia were still in war. You were Zero, the leader of the Black Knights, the one who created the Black Rebellion. I was a Honoury Britannian, one of their best fighters. While being best friends in real life, as Zero and the comandor of Lancelot we were rivals and enemies. After some point, and more specifically after your fathers death, you got the idea of Zero Requiem, in which, you became the 99th emperor, who ruled the country through the means of tyranny. And that was your plan to make everyone hate you and make me the hero of the world. You gave your Zero mask and costume and ordered me to kill you. You thought that this could bring unity to Britannia and Nipon and it actually did. I forgot about the geass, a power given to you by C.C. a witch, who helped you go through and accomplish all of your plans. With the geass you could make everyone follow your orders, but only for one time on each person. When you used the geass on me you had told me to live on. And this hunted me, because after killing you, being Zero, the hero who saved the world, was nothing but a burden to me. And every time I tried to kill myself, your greass would take effect and I would always live."
Suzaku took a deep breath after realising he had reached the most crucial point and continued. "C.C. was the one who told me about parallel universes. And she was the one who sent me to this universe, because I wanted so badly to see you again. You not being there with me was mere and pure torture. I hated it. But when I came here I found out that you did not know me. You ignored my existance and I was devastated"
Lelouch took the initial and asked him. "If I say I believe you, then you have to answer me this question. Why did you feel so devastated when you realised I did not know you? Why would you sacrifice your life in the other universe, just to see me again?"
Suzaku took a deep breath and leaned closer to Lelouch's face. "Because I wanted to do this" And with that he closed any possible distance between them and crushed his lips on Lelouch's soft ones. A shock run through Lelouch's body and his eyes shot open, but as he felt Suzaku's tongue begging for entrance he closed his eyes and parted his lips. Suzaku's tongue was tasting every inch of Lelouch's mouth, every part of it, every single fibre. And it felt great. As Lelouch started kissing back, memories of his other life started crushing his head, making him want to explode, but he kept kissing Suzaku as he remembered his love for him. Their bodies were now pushed together and Suzaku started kissing Lelouch's neck. Licking and biting leaving behind some love marks. A moan escaped Lelouch's lips, before Suzaku silenced him with one last, soft kiss.
They were both left breathless, but Lelouch wanted to tell him these words now that he remembered. "Even if I order you to kill me, do not ever do that again. Even if i beg you on my knees, do never succumb to my wishes. I want to be forever with you and only you. I was in love with you in the other universe and I managed to fall in love with you in this one too. So never leave me."
A small tear sliped from Suzaku's eye as he hugged Lelouch's frail figure. "I am never, ever letting go of you again. Never. I loved you then, I love you now. Forever and always."
And back at the corner behind the shadows, a smile grew on C.C.'s lips.
The End. Xx.
