I'm only me when I'm with you.

Plot: Two best friends, one in love, can love really happen between these two? KxL

Chapter 1: Starting off

Two best friends were walking on the streets of a wonderful park in Orb.

One woman certain was looking at her best friend; Yes Lacus Clyne was looking at her brunette best friend Kira Yamato. It has been a while now since they were friends and the girl just developed a secret crush on her best friend no one ever knows because she tries to hide it as much as possible.

But right now it was just the two them walking and talking. Lacus always admired Kira from the beginning but she knew that a relationship between them was impossible because….well Kira was in love with someone else, her name is Flay Allster.

As the two sat down on the bench Lacus couldn't help but smile at Kira. The brunette noticed it and looked at her face "Something wrong?" He asked. The pinkette looked forward and blushed as she quickly shook her head "N-nothing…just well…." She stuttered as they both heard a stomach grumble. They both looked surprised as Kira looked at Lacus and she just embarrassingly smiled "Sorry…guess that's me" she chuckled, Kira too laughed a bit "Wanna get ice cream?" he asked. She nodded childishly.

They happened to pass by an ice cream truck so Kira and Lacus went near it.

"Want do you want Lacus?" he asked. Lacus thought first and finally replied "I wanna get strawberry" she smiled. Kira smiled too "ok" he said. He looked at the ice cream man "Sir one strawberry and one cookies and cream both one scoop" The ice cream man nodded. After a few seconds he gave the ice cream, Kira gave the money and said thank you.

They went to sit in a nearby bench, as they ate their treat Lacus just enjoyed the taste, oh how she loved strawberry! She continued to lick her ice cream. Kira looked at her and thought just how cute she looked eating the ice cream. "It's good right?" Kira asked the girl removed the ice cream off her mouth and nodded "It sure is!" "Wait you have something" he said. "What?" she asked. Kira got a handkerchief out of his pocket and rubbed it to Lacus's nose "There, you have ice cream on your nose" he said after finishing wiping. Lacus blushed massively "Sorry" she said.

After finishing eating they talked.

Lacus asked "So how are you and Flay?" Kira replied "We're ok…I guess"

She nodded as she gazed at the beautiful sunset and the children playing and couldn't help but smile. She gently rested her head on Kira's shoulder, at first he looked surprised but just let it be. "It's so nice to have this kind of peace….for once" she spoke and Kira nodded "Yes"

-NEXT DAY-

Kira was walking at the school halls you know being a graduate in high wasn't easy

Lacus walked up to him "Good morning Kira" she said smiling

Kira replied smiling "Good Morning Lacus"

"Could I walk to class with you?" she asked. Kira nodded

As the classroom was near they were walking when…..

"KIRAAAAAA!" A redhead jumped on him and grabbed on to his arm "Come on we're gonna get late" dragging Kira away from Lacus "Wait Flay, I-i- have to-…." He stuttered and sighed and looked at Lacus while being dragged away. Lacus just smiled as she was being left alone. Lacus sighed as she went to her locker to pick her books. She looked her childhood picture with Kira taped on her locker their cute angelic faces. She frowned. "Lacus….don't hope anymore, he doesn't interest you…" she thought as she shook her head and went to class.

CLASS

"Please copy the notes written on the board" Ms. Ramius said

The class started copying

AFTER HOURS….

"Ok class dismissed"

As soon as the class left Cagalli spoke to Lacus

"Are you sure you'll stay here?" she asked. Lacus nodded

Of course being a friend to Lacus she followed and left Lacus in the classroom.

She just relaxed and did dome stuff when….Kira entered the classroom

"Lacus….so you were here" he said. "I just wanted to stay here" she replied.

"I was finishing anyway so I'll just go" she emotionlessly said. Kira sensed she was feeling uncomfortable. He grabbed her wrist "What's wrong? Lacus"

"Let go!" she said and raised her voice a bit. "Tell me first" he replied as he made her face him

Being Lacus she clumsily hit a metal chair's leg and made her slip due to the hit. Kira saw and went under her so he would take the impact.

When Lacus opened her eyes her hand were on his chest and she was on top Kira, although her leg had a big bruise she blushed as her hair fell forward to her face upon reaching Kira's chest. She immediately got off of him and sat on the floor. "S-s-sorry!" she stuttered. Kira smiled "It's ok".

Lacus tried to stand up but the bruise on her right leg hurt so badly. "Can you get up?" Kira asked.

She nodded "I'll be fine, don't worry" Kira ignored the question and carried her. Lacus surprised, she blushed as Kira piggy backed her. "I'm taking you to the clinic whether you like it or not" he said

CLINIC

The nurse was wrapping a bandage on Lacus's leg "There just be careful next time, ok?" the nurse said, Lacus nodded. "Ok you two can go now" the nurse added. "Thank You" Kira said.

The dormitories near school were where most of the graduates stay due to earlier classes.

Kira dropped Lacus off in her dorm with Cagalli.

"Thank you again, Kira" Lacus said.

"Welcome!" Kira said as they said their goodbyes and Both separated.

Kira just loved Flay so he went near her dorm to you know…..give her goodnight kiss. He was just being sweet to his girlfriend just like any man would do falling in love.

As he knocked on Flay's door

"Flay?" he knocked. No one answered. He knocked again, no response

Kira slowly opened her door and found the answer why no one was answering the door.

There lay Flay with some random dude, Kissing and even sucking her neck and lips. Flay looked at her door and her eyes widened. She saw Kira his mouth hanging with wide eyes.

"F-flay?" He said as his lavender orbs were shocked

"W-wait Kira I can explain!" But it was too late Kira shut the door loud and angrily.

The boy just continued to kiss but Flay was angry she can't lose Kira she shouted at the boy and ordered him to go out and so he did. Flay just sat on the couch clutching her knees close to her, realizing what she just did.

Kira was walking slowly walking to his dorm and went in seeing Athrun watching TV "Hey Kira…Sup?" he asked but he just ignored and walked to his room leaving a puzzled looking Athrun.

Kira stood by his room, remembering Flay and their moments, "DAMN IT!" he punched the wall with his fist as tears fell from his eyes to the floor. Athrun went near him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok Kira, try to move on, maybe she's just not worth it, don't worry you'll be alright, until now just get some sleep, ok?" he said. Kira looked at Athrun "Thanks, Athrun" he said to the Blue haired boy. Athrun just smiled and walked out of his room and closed the door.

Kira lay down on his bed and looked at the ceiling "I'll be okay….it's just that, maybe Athrun's right she isn't worth it" he thought as he smiled and drifted off to sleep.
