Gundam SEED Fan Fiction ❯ Eternal Love ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

 

For a moment Kira's worries and thoughts were driven away, Kira realized that his right hand was swollen up, it was close to being completely purple. It was clear that a couple of Kira's fingers were broken. In fact it wasn't just Kira's fingers… Kira lost the usage of his right hand. It seems that Kira had broken his wrist as well. Kira prayed that amputation wouldn't be the result. No it couldn't be, he could still move his hand, even though it killed.

 

`Great, what else could possibly go wrong?' Kira looked up at the elevator doors; he looked specifically at the area he had just punched. There was a big dent in the area he had just punch, this surprised Kira a little, he dented a metal door? How was this possible?

 

`Guess anger really can increase ones strength' Kira was in pain but was able to still crack a joke. Kira looked back down at his wrist; he carefully used his other hand and tried to support it. The moment Kira touched his hand he felt an enormous amount of pain shoot throughout his body.

 

`Way to go Kira, guess I should get myself to a hospital' Kira thought. The doors to the elevator opened and Kira walked out.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

 

Lacus had her body dropped to the floor. She was still crying onto Cagalli. Slowly Cagalli got up, holding on to Lacus.

 

“It's okay Lacus, just come inside.” Cagalli said helping Lacus up to her feet. Cagalli grabbed Lacus' hand and led her into her apartment. Athrun followed them in as he shut the door behind him.

 

“…Lacus, he has gone through a lot, he's just really stressed right now… that's why. Just try not to worry about it” Cagalli hesitantly added, she didn't know what to say. Kira completely cut her out. There wasn't anything that Lacus could've done to possibly make the situation any better.

 

Lacus was always the type of person who hid her emotions, but given the current situation… Lacus was a complete wreck.

 

“Come this way.” Cagalli suggested, still holding on to Lacus' hand. “It's always better to sleep on it, Lacus.”

 

“…I don't want to… I should go…” Lacus managed to say, managing to hold back some tears.

 

“Nonsense, where would you go? You got divorced didn't you? Here, just lie down” Cagalli led Lacus into her bedroom. Cagalli smiled. “Don't worry; I'll talk to him for you. I'm sure he didn't mean what he said.”

 

Cagalli literally pushed Lacus into bed. “…Cagalli, thank you” Lacus said. Cagalli smiled and pulled a blanket over Lacus.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------

 

 

“Well how did this happen?” The nurse asked with a confused expression.

 

“…Yeah… I kind of punched a mental door, full force.” Kira said. “I let my emotions get to me…” Kira chuckled a little. “I'm going to be okay, right?”

 

“You should be okay, just wait until the doctor comes. However I'll do an x-ray on you're right arm, just to make sure” The nurse said. Kira nodded.

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

 

 

The doctor felt Kira's wrist gently. He observed it carefully. “Well from what the x-ray tells… 3 broken fingers, broken wrist, and it seems you badly fractured you're forearm” The doctor raised his head. “It'll take approximately 8 weeks to heal properly”

 

“Considering that you're a high ranking business man Kira Yamato, I suggest you take some time off. You won't be able to write with you're right hand.” The doctor said. Kira sighed. Kira's job consisted of a lot of forms to be signed. The doctor was right, he wouldn't be able to do his job, and it's not like he could write with his left hand.

 

“I see, I guess I could use some time off.” Kira said.

 

“You're going to need a cast for that forearm and I'm going to have to patch up those 3 fingers.”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

 

1 hour later…

 

Kira was finally able to leave the hospital. Kira's forearm was equipped with a cast. A thin long cloth was tied around his neck and tied again just around his rib cage. The piece of cloth was to support Kira's arm so he wouldn't accidentally aggravate it. Kira's 3 fingers were enclosed in a then tight band, wasn't too tight, just tight enough to keep it straight so it can heal properly. The cast's structure was thin and sleek; Kira was able to fit it through his blazer sleeve.

 

`This is just great… I look like someone who just got beaten up. Would have asked Cagalli if I could stay with her, but I don't want to be somewhere where Lacus can show up at anytime. Guess I'll just get a first class hotel room, that's one thing I'll never get sick from. Come to think of it, I am starving.

 

I should call Mwu and let him know I'll be staying here for the next 2 months.' Kira went to reach his cell phone, but he realized he couldn't reach the damn thing. His cell phone was located on the left inside pocket of his blazer. Kira struggled for awhile but he eventually got it. Kira dialed Mwu's number. After a couple of rings Mwu finally answered the phone.

 

“What is it Kira?” Mwu asked.

 

“Mwu what are you doing right now?” Kira asked.

 

“I'm on a plain to Europe.” Mwu said. Kira's eyes squinted, his mind filled with confusion.

 

“Why are you going to Europe?” Kira had to ask. Mwu smiled.

 

“Gilbert Dullindal wants to meet with me, he said it was urgent. Since we don't have anything important in our schedule I'd thought I'd go see what he wants.” Mwu said.

 

“Well I see. Europe is the best place to be, especially Amsterdam. That place is filled with beautiful women.”

 

Mwu chucked. “I know Kira, believe me …I know.”

 

“Well listen Mwu, this is going to sound a little shocking but just listen. I broke my wrist, 3 fingers, and I badly fractured my forearm, on my right arm. I won't be able to do these meetings for awhile.” Kira said, a little afraid of what Mwu might say.

 

“How did it happen?” Mwu asked. Kira thought for a second.

 

“I kind of punched a metal door, as hard as I could.” Kira said.

 

“Why would you do that?” Mwu said. Kira sighed.

 

“It's a long story.”

 

“Well, are you going to be okay?” Mwu asked.

 

“…Yeah I'm fine. They told me it's going to take about 2 months to heal.” Kira said.

 

“Well don't worry Kira. We're the founders of the largest company known to man. I'm pretty sure you can get away with no work for 2 months without the boss knowing. Oh wait; you are the boss that means you don't need my permission!”

 

“I'm not asking you're permission, I'm telling you” Kira chucked. Mwu laughed as well.

 

“Well, are you just going to stay in Japan for the time being?” Mwu asked.

 

“Yeah, I've been away from home for too long. I think this is what's best for me right now.” Kira said.

 

“Alright, I'll keep you posted. Call me if you need me for anything” Mwu said.

 

“Thanks Mwu” Kira said.

 

“Don't mention it, bye”

 

“…Bye” The line ended. Just as Kira enclosed his cell into the inside right of his blazer he signaled for a cab. Kira got into the cab. “Please take me to the closest hotel.”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

 

“Cagalli, what did you and Kira talk about?” Athrun asked. Cagalli looked over at Athrun.

 

“He was just telling me what he's been doing over the years. Also he apologized to me about being rude with me lately.” She said.

 

“Why did he act like that for?” Athrun asked, hoping Cagalli would know the reason.

 

“I'm not sure. All my life I've known Kira, not once have I seen him shut someone out before. I guess I can't really blame him. The hurtful look I saw during Lacus' marriage ceremony. I've never seen him look so hurt before.” Cagalli said.

 

“Yeah, I saw it too. I should have gone after him that day; actually I should've gone after him today.” Athrun sighed. “I don't know why I didn't”

 

“Well anyways how did it go?” Cagalli asked. “Did Lacus get Mark to sign the papers?”

 

“Yeah, he signed them. However I have a feeling he's going to beg to have her back.” He said.

 

“Hey Cagalli, I've been meaning to ask you…”

 

“What is it?” Cagalli asked, blushing slightly.

 

“I've noticed something has been troubling you lately?” Athrun said. “What's wrong?”

 

Cagalli raised her head; she looked at Athrun, never taking her eyes off him. “Nothings… wrong. Why?”

 

“Come on Cagalli, I've known you long enough to know when you're lying.” Athrun said, leaning against the wall.

 

“I told you nothing's wrong!” Cagalli said, getting a little irritated. Athrun was a little taken back by Cagalli's attitude. Athrun was always the one person she would never treat rudely. But what was the reason? Athrun walked up to Cagalli and grabbed her shoulders.

 

“I promise I won't tell anyone, just tell me, please” Athrun asked. Cagalli was really starting to get frustrated now.

 

“Let go of me Athrun” Cagalli said calmly. Athrun didn't comply, he held her shoulders tighter.

 

“Not until you tell me what's bothering you, was it something I did?” He asked. Finally Cagalli snapped. Cagalli put her hands on Athrun's chest and roughly pushed him to the wall. Athrun was taken by surprise.

 

“…Cagalli” Athrun said, he was shocked.

 

“Please, just leave me alone.” She said, little stunned and what she had just done, Athrun didn't notice her stunned expression.

 

“…Okay I'll go, sorry for bothering you” With that Athrun left. Cagalli watched as Athrun shut he door behind him. Cagalli placed a hand over her head. `Why did I do that…?'

 

Cagalli went to her room and checked up on Lacus. Lacus was still lying asleep; she was lying on her side. Cagalli looked closer and saw that the pillow she was resting her head on was wet with tears. Cagalli then looked closer at Lacus' face and saw that Lacus still had tears coming down her face.

 

“Lacus… are you awake?” Cagalli asked. Lacus didn't respond, she was still sleeping `She's even crying in her sleep…I should talk to Kira about this, if he talks to her like that again, I'll beat him into a pulp.'

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

 

Kira was in his hotel room, he had just finished eating. Kira had his back rested against the couch as he watched TV. Nothing of interest was on so Kira just scanned through the channels hoping to find something interesting.

 

“I forgot nothing's ever on during the day” Kira said out loud. Kira turned of the television and rested his back on the couch, lying down. Kira looked at his hand. The injuring on his right arm was the result of seeing Lacus. He couldn't help it, every time he thought about Lacus it drove him over the edge. Seeing the one you love most in this world choosing someone else rather then yourself. Kira's thoughts began to trace back.

 

`She got into that marriage with Mark because it was going to combine their company's and save people around the globe' Kira thought. `I don't know if it's called being greedy, maybe it is. But if I were in her situation, there's no way I would've chosen someone over you, even if it mean saving others. You could have fought hard and started a company, just like I did. Why am I even thinking this? It won't change anything.' Kira sighed. Kira couldn't help but smile. Remembering back in the days, the first time he kissed Lacus was his favorite memory of them being together. It was the best day of his life.

 

 

- - - - - Flashback - - - - -

 

4 years earlier…

 

Kira Yamato was in his freshmen year. Kira walked down the halls of his high school, it was the end of the day and Kira was thinking about asking Lacus if she would go with him to this party this guy was throwing tonight. It was a house party. Truth is that Kira had been trying to ask Lacus out for the passed 2 years, ever since he saw her.

 

As Kira turned the corner, down the hall he saw a couple of guys flirting with Lacus. They were all high ranking popular people. Once Kira saw them, he immediately lost his confidence. Kira took one glance before lowering his head and walking the other way. Kira walked out of the school and was heading off the school property when he suddenly heard someone right behind him.

 

“Kira, where are you going?” Cagalli asked. Kira turned around and smiled.

 

“I'm heading home. Where else would I be going?” Kira asked. Cagalli shifted her bag over her shoulders.

 

“Are you going to the party tonight?” Cagalli asked. Kira dropped his head in shame.

 

“Probably… not”

 

“…Why not?” Cagalli asked. “Is it because of Lacus?”

 

“…I…well…” Kira couldn't get the words out. Cagalli walked closer to Kira and starred.

 

“I've tried two years to get her to notice me. Every time I get close I get pushed away. She only looks at me like a friend. I can't keep expecting her to look at me the same way.” Kira said, coming to his own conclusion.

 

“Kira you won't know unless you try. If you bottle you're feelings up she's going to get away.” Cagalli said.

 

“I can't lose something I never had” Kira said. Kira continued to walk towards his home.

 

“…Kira!”

 

-------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

 

Kira was almost home when his cell phone began to ring. Kira quickly looked at who it was. The caller ID showed Lacus' name, Kira felt his heart melt just by the sight of her name. Kira answered his phone.

 

“Hello?” Kira answered, acting like he didn't know who it was.

 

“Kira I thought you were going to meet me after school” Lacus said.

 

“…Lacus. …Sorry I must've forgotten.” Kira lied.

 

“Well I wanted to ask you… are you going to the party with anyone tonight?” Kira's heart felt like his heart melted right there and then.

 

“Umm… No…” he simply replied, trying not to choke. His face became red, he was blushing like mad.

 

“…Well I …was wondering if you …would like to… umm …go with me…” Lacus said nervously. Kira's heart latterly opened up, butterflies filled his stomach. The weight Kira was carrying over his shoulders was released. He felt a relaxing easiness fill into his heart.

 

`Did Lacus… just ask me out! Relax… play it calm.' Kira thought quickly.

 

“Sure, why not” Kira said, trying to sound confident.

 

“Great, can you be at my house by 7?” She asked. Kira smiled.

 

“Sure, I'll be there at 7”

 

“I'll see you then, bye Kira”

 

“…Yeah. Bye Lacus.” Kira said. Kira's arms dropped to his side, he looked straight up into the sky.

 

`Did… Lacus just ask me to go with her?' Kira couldn't help but smile. Did Lacus have feelings for Kira? No, it must've been coincidental. But still, this feeling, this moment, it was overwhelming.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------

 

Kira stood in front of the door to Lacus' apartment. His hands were shaking, and his body was fidgeting. Kira gulped as he inched closer to the door. Kira was wearing blue jeans, a white sleeveless top, and over his shoulders he whore his black Dania leather jacket.

 

`Don't worry, you can do this, just relax, be calm, don't fidget. Kira summoned his courage and knocked on the door. 30 seconds later, Lacus opened the door.

 

“Hi Kira …you look nice” Lacus managed to say, slightly turning red. Lacus closed the door behind her.

 

“…Thanks, you look nice too” Kira smiled, maintaining his confidence. “…Ready to go?”

 

“Well of course” Lacus smiled innocently. Kira blushed, Lacus noticed. Lacus smiled, she always liked how Kira acted around her, and it always made her feel special.

 

The location to where the party wasn't too far from where they were so Kira and Lacus decided to walk there. They were making good time and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Kira wasn't sure how it happened but they were talking about Athrun and his sister.

 

“I know it's so obvious that she likes him, and I'm pretty sure that he likes her back, but they just won't admit it to themselves.” Kira said. Lacus smiled.

 

“…Reminds me of someone I know” she giggled.

 

`What is that supposed to mean?' he thought. “I'm surprised Lacus, I thought someone would've asked you to go to the party” Kira said, changing the subject. Lacus blushed, Kira didn't notice.

 

“…They did”

 

“Huh?”

 

“…But I wanted to go with you” Lacus said, blushing more, Kira still didn't notice. Kira was now on the verge of exploding, his face was pure red, Lacus noticed. It was silent for awhile, but not too long.

 

“It's on this street isn't it? Do you remember the house number?” Kira asked.

 

“I think it was 312” Lacus said. “Its right over there” Lacus pointed.

 

The house was almost completely filled. Most of the teens were hanging out in the backyard. The backyard was huge; there must've been at least 60 people. Kira and Lacus went through the front, and then went straight to the backyard. As soon as they entered the back, something caught Lacus' eye.

 

“Kira isn't that Athrun…?” Lacus said. Kira looked over in the direction Lacus was looking.

 

“It is Athrun… and he's surrounded… by a lot of women.” Kira chuckled. A couple of guys saw Kira with Lacus. Lacus was probably one of the most beautiful girls in school, so it was only natural that she would get attacked by other men, not physically of course.

 

One of the guys pushed Kira out of the way and began talking to Lacus. Lacus didn't seem to notice what had happened to Kira. Kira sighed in defeat. `Of course, what was I thinking? Just when I thought I had a chance too'

 

One of the guys walked up to Kira. “Kira did you come with Lacus?” one of the boys asked. Kira was a little hesitant to answer.

 

“…Yes”

 

“Well, you can leave her with us now; go do what ever you want now.” Kira didn't say anything, he just watched as the guy left to talk with Lacus. Lacus was surrounded by 4 guys, but she was only talking to one. The guy she was talking to was a guy named Tolle.

 

“Hey Kira” Athrun said. “Come here”

 

“Athrun, here I thought you wouldn't be able to be left alone.” Kira said. “Seriously how do you do it?”

 

“Do what?”

 

“Why are you always surrounded by women?” Kira said. Athrun chuckled.

 

“I don't know they just always seem to surround me” Athrun said. “What happened? One minute you were with Lacus, the next she was taken”

 

Kira sighed. “I'm just really bad at this, what would you do in this situation?”

 

“I would tell her how I feel” Athrun said.

 

“…Really, you would?” Kira was a little confused. Maybe Athrun didn't have feelings for Cagalli after all. Kira ended up spending the whole night chilling with Athrun and a bunch of girls. They talked and talked when finally it was getting kind of late. Actually it was really late, it was 2am.

 

“I should really get going” Athrun said. Kira nodded.

 

“Yeah, it is getting really late” Kira said. Everyone was mostly gone by this time. Kira, Athrun a bunch of other people, Lacus, and the guy talking to Lacus were the only ones still there. Kira took a glance at Lacus before getting up.

 

“I'll see you on Monday, bye Athrun” Kira said.

 

“Bye” Kira and Athrun walked off in different directions. Lacus saw Kira leaving from the corner of her eye.

 

“…So Lacus do you want to head back to my place?” Tolle said. Lacus' nearly puked herself at the thought of it.

 

“Sorry, I have to go now, bye” Lacus chased after Kira. Tolle just starred with a shocked expression.

 

“Kira, wait up” Lacus said. Kira looked over and saw Lacus coming towards him, which shocked him a little.

 

“You could've told me you were leaving” Lacus said, not too happy.

 

“Well you were so busy talking; I didn't want to interrupt anything.” Lacus knew what Kira meant by that, she couldn't help but feel guilty, it's not like she did it intentionally, guys just normally tend to always talk to her.

 

“I thought you would at least tell me you were leaving, I came with you didn't I?” Lacus said.

 

“Well, sorry I guess I wasn't thinking like that” Kira smile, not wanting to make Lacus mad. Kira and Lacus continued to walk in the direction to Lacus' apartment. They were both very silent, nether of them were talking.

 

 

A burst of wind came rushing through, it caught Lacus off guard “AHH…it's freezing, when did it get so cold?” Lacus said. Kira looked over and saw that Lacus was trembling, her teeth began to chatter. Kira went behind Lacus and placed his jacket over her shoulders. “Here”

 

Lacus' face turned red. Kira noticed it this time, but chose to ignore it. “…Kira it's okay, I can stand it” Lacus said.

 

“Its fine don't worry” Kira said. Lacus gasped.

 

“Kira what about you?” Lacus said, looking at his sleeveless white shirt. “I'll be fine” Kira said.

 

They continued to walk side by side. They still remained silent. Lacus didn't know what to say, she felt bad. They were silent, all the way up until they reached the front door to Lacus' apartment.

 

“Won't you're dad get mad that you're coming home so late?” Kira asked, breaking the ice.

 

“He's out of town at the moment; he went to deal with one of his client” Unlocking the door to her apartment, Lacus took of the jacket and handed it back to Kira.

 

“Thanks for walking me back Kira.”

 

“It's okay” he said. “Lacus, I was wondering…” Lacus' heart began to race. “Could I get a glass of water, my throat is really dry” he said. Lacus' heart dropped mentally.

 

“Sure” she smiled. Lacus led Kira in to her apartment, it was very well organized and clean. It was like walking into a small mansion. Lacus went into the kitchen, she came out with a tall glass of ice water.

 

“…Thanks Lacus” Kira said, taking the glass and gulped it down. Lacus smiled. After Kira was done he placed his cup in the kitchen sink and washed it himself.

 

“You didn't have to” Lacus said.

 

“Why should you do it?” Kira asked. Lacus smiled.

 

“You're a guest, that's why” Lacus said.

 

“What kind of guest would I be if I let you clean for me?”

 

“Well anyways, I should probably get going.” Kira still had a distance to walk. Lacus' house wasn't exactly close to his. Lacus inched closer to Kira, she looked at him with the cutest pair of eyes.

 

“Thanks again for walking me back” she smiled.

 

“I don't mind Lacus.” Kira said. Lacus inched closer; she went on her toes and pecked his check with her lips. Kira began to blush massively.

 

“…Be careful on you're way back.” Lacus said. Kira didn't listen, his mind was else where. After a few seconds Kira brought his attention back to Lacus.

 

“I will” Kira said, walking out the door. Lacus felt depressed, Lacus was always trying to give Kira opportunities, but he would always turn the other way and pretend it never happened. Kira walked out and closed the door behind him. Lacus leaned her body against the way, her head hung in defeat. Was she ever going to get Kira to notice her?

 

Suddenly Lacus heard a knock on her door. Lacus opened the door and saw Kira. Kira let himself in.

 

“Is something wrong Kira” Lacus said closing the door. Kira's body fidgeted.

 

“…Well… I you know. I was just thinking… maybe. If I would…” Kira couldn't get the words out. Lacus looked at him with a confusion expression. “It's just, like. You know I'm really bad with words in these situations.” Kira admitted.

 

“What situation?” Lacus asked, trying to figure Kira out was difficult.

 

“I… well. I wanted to know if there was a chance… I… do you… it's just when ever I try. …The hell with it!” Kira gave up in frustration. Kira inched closer to Lacus, taking Lacus by surprised he forcefully grabbed her waist, closing the distance between each other he kisses her not caring if she would reject him her not, he was sick and tired of going through the same feelings every day, he just wanted his feelings for her to be over already. It killed his soul every time he saw a guy flirting with her. This was it, whether she would reject him her not, this day, this moment, it was going to end.

 

However Lacus didn't pull away from the kiss. Instead she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. Kira was so tied up in his emotions that he didn't have any control of what he was doing. Kira lowered his hands and slid them beneath both of her thighs. Kira opened his mouth and attempted to slid his tongue into Lacus' mouth. Lacus knew what Kira was trying to do so she opened her mouth and began playing with his tongue with her own. Kira lifted Lacus up of her feet. Lacus wrapped her legs around Kira's waist, as they began to make out fiercely.

 

 

The two were emotionally lost in each others embrace that they didn't even realized what they were doing. Kira ever so slowly made his way to Lacus' room. Kira gently lowered Lacus' body onto her bed without breaking himself from the kiss. Before they knew it, most of there clothes were off.

 

Finally Lacus managed to speak. “You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you”

 

Kira smiled. “I was crazy about you… I just wasn't sure how you felt”

 

“I love you Kira, I've always loved you. Ever since we met, I've been madly in love with you. I just …didn't know how to express myself”

 

“I felt the same way when I met you too.” Kira said, lowering his head kissing her again. Lacus kissed back with plenty more passion.

 

- - - - - End Flashback- - - - -

 

Kira starred into the ceiling. Nothing happened that night, but he could've done anything he wanted to her, being the good person he was, he did the right thing. However he did spend the night at hers that day. He slept in the same bed as her.

 

`I was so blinded by love back then. Those were the days…'

 

Finally Kira had enough. He looked down at his clothes. “If I'm going to be staying here for 2 months I better get more clothes then this. God I hate suits. Luckily for Kira, there was a mall underneath the hotel. Kira went down and bought some casual clothes for himself, along with a pair of Nike shox and a simple black comfortable jacket.

 

After Kira had gotten his clothes he went back up into his room. Kira removed the cloth around his head that was supporting his arm. Slowly, Kira began removing his suit. Carefully he started with his blazer, then with his dress shirt and tie. It was a bit difficult to do it alone, but Kira managed. Kira's pants were easy to et out of, he barely struggled on that part.

 

“Finally, I can breath!” Kira said loudly. “I don't know why I didn't do this before”

 

Carefully Kira now started putting his new clothes on. He started with his black comfortable jeans, and then he put on his light blue t-shirt. Kira then walked over and opened up a box and put on his brand new Nike all-around shox. Damn were they comfortable. Kira then got his cell phone and put it on in his thin layered black jacket, nothing to fancy, just something light, and easy to get around in now that he was wearing a cast. Kira then slid himself carefully into his new jacket and put the cloth around his neck. Kira then slid his right arm in so it was supported.

 

`That took quite some time.' Kira thought. Kira walked out of his room and walked outside. Kira observed the scenery.

 

“…I think I've been home sick” Kira said, breathing peacefully. “What a beautiful day”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------

 

Athrun sat down, sighing. He was at his girlfriend Lunamaria's house. Luna caught on, she sat next to him.

 

“What's wrong Athrun?” she asked curiously. Athrun didn't want to say it was because Cagalli was mad at him so he tried to hide it.

 

“…Its nothing, I'm just not feeling so good, that's all” Athrun lied.

 

“Why, was it something you ate?” Luna asked. Athrun nodded.

 

“No it's not that…”

 

“Luna have you ever had someone mad at you, and you weren't sure what you did?” Athrun asked. Luna jerked her head up.

 

“Who's mad at you?” Luna asked. Athrun gulped.

 

“…Never mind, forget about it” Athrun said. Luna inched closer to Athrun, lips barely touching.

 

“…What ever it is…” she kissed him gently quickly. “Just relax” she kissed him again, lasting longer. Athrun grabbed Luna and flipped her over. Athrun went in for kiss when suddenly his pager went off. Luna looked annoyed by the sudden interruption. Athrun looked at his pager.

 

“Shit, I have to go. There's an emergency.” Athrun said getting up.

 

“Again?” Luna said. “You're always getting paged. Why is it you that they need. Can't they do it themselves?”

 

“Sorry it can't be helped.”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

 

Cagalli was watching TV when she suddenly heard the door to her room open. Cagalli looked over and saw Lacus. Lacus rubbed her eyes; they were still red and puffy. She was finally able to stop crying.

 

“Hey Lacus, how do you feel?” Cagalli asked. Lacus smiled.

 

“Better, thank you Cagalli” Cagalli got up and walked to Lacus.

 

“Well Lacus, now that you got a divorce done, you can stay here as long as you want” Cagalli said. Lacus smiled.

 

“Thank you Cagalli. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you” Lacus said, ready to cry again. Cagalli notice, she inched closer and embraced Lacus. Lacus rested her head on Cagalli's left shoulder.

 

“Lacus its okay don't worry. That's nothing to cry over.” Cagalli said.

 

“I'm sorry” Lacus raised her head. “It's just Kira… Kira is” Lacus began to cry again. “…I miss him so much”

 

There wasn't really anything else Cagalli could say. However Cagalli still hasn't talked to Kira about this situation. Cagalli promised herself that she would get Kira and Lacus talk once more. Lacus was pouring her heart out. Cagalli had to at least try, even if Kira hated her Lacus.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

 

Kira strolled past the property of his old high school. He passed by a tree he remembered very clearly. It was the first place they had made out publicly. Lacus was still in the process of having all the guys chase her around the school. But Kira ended it when he made out with her by the tree. The whole school saw what they were doing. After that, everyone stayed away from Lacus.

 

 

To be continued…
