✜046 [video]

[The video is a blur of pink and flesh tones when it comes on before Euphie holds the device still again. She was using the old-fashioned, "shake it until it works" method.] Oh! It came on. Good.

My device was working just fine this morning, but a little while ago I was having the hardest time trying to check the network. I hope it's all right now. I'm not even sure where I would take one for repairs.

Sorry for all the shaking, everyone. [She smiles apologetically.]

She felt her cheeks warm as he spoke and cupped her cheek, but at his last words she thought she might cry again. Hearing that from Suzaku... After everything that's happened. After all the time that's passed. It still felt good to hear. No matter what else has or will happened they had this moment together.

She formed actions before words as she pressed in closer to him, bringing their lips together. It wasn't the first time they kissed since he'd been back, but it still felt powerful. It felt like maybe he could feel the way she felt communicated through just this.

But even still, the words did follow in a slightly breathless fashion.

"I love you, Suzaku Kururugi. All of you." The sweet boy. The brave knight. And, yes, she could love him as the man who killed her brother. She couldn't bring herself to agree with it, but she still believed in his heart and his goodness above all else.

This isn't the first time he's heard the words, but after everything that's happened since he last heard them, it's like he's hearing them again for the first time. The kiss helped carry home the message. When her lips pull way from his, a smile can be found on his lips.

"After everything that's happened, I wasn't sure if I'd ever hear those words again. I told myself I shouldn't expect to hear them or want to hear them. But now that I've heard them, I know I will always carry them around with me."

Their faces are still close to each other, so it's easy enough for him to lean forward and resume their kiss. In between their kisses he murmurs a few words. The words are difficult to make out because they are spoken in a soft, but they sound like something along the lines of "Sometimes this all feels like a dream." But it's better than any dream because while their time together has been anything but perfect, it's real and he's been able to create new memories with her.

He say such sweet things, but it does make her a little sad to think he wasn't sure if he'd ever hear it again. She doesn't want him to be unsure. She's felt that way for so long before his return—not knowing her feelings toward Yuri, Hanna, and Tommy. Even Zuko.

But Suzaku is with her now and for the first time in a long time things feel clear again.

"It's real." She keeps kissing him, trying to assure him with her words and her actions.
