Athrun and Lacus are perceived as an example of a perfect couple. They are always together, they never fight and they really love one another. Classes have just finished and it's only a week before Christmas break. Most students already left, buying gifts and enjoying themselves except for some.
"Hey Athrun! Want to hangout with us?" Dearka excitedly ask
"Sorry I can't, I have an important date with Lacus today" Athrun said while scratching the back of his head
"Date again?" Dearka asked
Then someone came in and pinched Dearka's ear
"Leave them alone Dearka" a brunette said
"Oh Mir…sure I'll leave them, in one condition" Dearka teasingly said
"What is it this time?" Mir irritated asked
"Go out with me" Dearka grinned
Miriallia then stepped on his foot.
"Oww…what was that for?" Dearka exclaimed
"For always messing up with me!" Mir angrily shouted
Then the door opened and Lacus entered the room
"Mir, why don't you give Dearka a chance?" Lacus smiled at the two and walked towards Athrun
"Yeah Lacus' right!" Dearka followed
Mir sighed and said, "Fine, let's go Dearka, you two enjoy your date" then Mir walked towards the door
"YES! I'll make this date your best date ever!" Dearka happily said following her
"Whatever" Mir cold heartedly said at Dearka
Then they left the room leaving Athrun and Lacus alone. Athrun hugged Lacus' from behind and placed his hands around her waist and whispered to her ear, "They look good together right?" hugging her tighter. Lacus turned to Athrun, placed her hands around his neck, looked at his emerald eyes and said "Your right…so what are we going to do today?" Lacus smiled at him. Athrun pulled her closer and said "The thing we like to do…" then he lowered his head, when suddenly the door opened. And a man wearing a cap stood at the doorway.
"Oh! Sorry" he turned around and was about to leave when Athrun stopped him
"Wait!" Athrun let go of Lacus' waist, and examined the unexpected visitor's face, then Athrun approached the person.
Lacus sat on the nearby chair and watched as Athrun approach the person. The unexpected visitor glanced at Lacus then at Athrun. The visitor turned around and Athrun stood beside him and placed his arm around the person's shoulder. Athrun smiled at him and whispered something to him.
"Lacus will you excuse me and my guest for a while?" Athrun asked glancing at Lacus through his shoulders
"Sure" Lacus answered back
Athrun went outside and the person followed him. When they're outside, Athrun started talking to his unexpected guest.
"I didn't expect to see you!" Athrun excitedly said
"Sorry…I didn't mean to disturb the two of you" the visitor answered
"Don't worry about it, anyway, how long are you going to stay here?"
"Mom told me to finish my studies here"
"Is that so, wait are you with her? I really want to see her!" Athrun eagerly asked
"Nope, she said she wanted to stay at the old house" he seriously answered
"So, where are you going to stay? I wouldn't mind letting you stay at my place" Athrun offered
"I rented an apartment and besides, I don't think your father would like to see me there" he coldly answered while looking downwards
Athrun sighed and dropped the topic, "…So how did you end up going to our classroom?"
"I asked the teacher where your classroom is"
"Why?"
"Because mom told me to give this to you" he handed Athrun an envelope
"Thanks, I have an idea! Why don't you go with us, we'll celebrate your arrival!" Athrun cheerfully suggested
"I don't want to ruin your date and I also need to unpack my things" he answered
"Then I will just drive you home, I won't accept no as an answer and I would like to know where you live" Athrun insisted
"Fine, but how about your girlfriend?" The visitor asked
"Lacus wouldn't mind, let's go"
They returned to the classroom. While approaching the room, they heard a beautiful voice. The person stopped and listened to the song and wondered who the one singing was.
Athrun smiled and said "She's a great singer right?"
He glanced at Athrun then he figured out who was singing, "Yeah, she is".
They arrived at the room; he and Athrun saw Lacus standing besides the window singing. Athrun walked silently towards her.
Lacus didn't notice Athrun coming so she was caught off guard when Athrun covered her eyes with his hands. She removed Athrun's hands, faced him and smiled at him lovingly. The visitor just stood beside the door watching the couple and he noticed Lacus' very beautiful and affectionate smile at Athrun. After a few minutes of fixing their things, the three of them went outside and rode Athrun's car. He sat silently at the back and gave Athrun a piece of paper where the location was written. Lacus tried to look at the person's face but he's looking downwards and it seems like he had fallen asleep and his cap is covering his face. Then they arrived at the apartment which is a 20 minute drive from the school. Athrun stopped the car and when the visitor felt it, he woke up from his short yet peaceful slumber.
"Thanks a lot Athrun" He sincerely said and then stepped out of the car
"No problem, and if you need anything, just call me ok?"
"Don't worry about me, thanks again and take care" He said looking at Athrun then he went inside the apartment and unpacked his things.
At Athrun and Lacus' date
Athrun drove the car towards the place he prepared for the date. While driving, Athrun noticed Lacus' confused expression.
"Lacus is there something wrong?" Athrun worriedly asked
Lacus glanced at him and answered, "I was thinking, who is that person?"
Athrun smiled at her and said "a very important guest" then he stopped the car "Oh I almost forgot, Lacus will you please put on this blindfold?" Athrun said in a very sweet manner.
"Why do I always need to wear a blindfold?" Lacus pouted while putting the blindfold.
Athrun didn't answer her and continued driving the car. After 5 minutes Athrun turned the engine off and went to Lacus' side to assist her.
They walked when suddenly Lacus felt that she's stepping on something soft then she heard the water hitting the sand.
"Athrun where exactly are we?" Lacus asked.
Athrun smiled and lead her to the place. "We're here, remove your blindfold now" He happily said.
Lacus slowly removed her blindfold and looked around at the place. She was shocked and then her expression turned to happiness when she saw the beautiful beach, the setting sun and most of all, the person she loved the most. She walked towards him and gave him a hug. He in return, hugged her back and then kissed her. Athrun parted their lips and smiled at her. They stood there for a couple of minutes; the moon light was now shinning down at them.
"Come on, I want to show you my little surprise" He cheerfully said and held Lacus' hand gently then pulled her. Lacus followed him when she came to a sudden halt upon seeing Athrun's 'little surprise'. There in front of them, was an elegantly prepared table with candles at the middle and pink rose petals scattered around. "Let's eat now" Athrun said walking toward the table. He pulled Lacus' chair and let her sit on it and then pushed it a little near the table. He then seated on the opposite chair then clapped his hands. A waiter appeared from the side carrying their food placed in a silver tray. He placed a plate in front of Lacus and then poured wine at her glass; he did the same at Athrun. After finishing his job he bowed and then walked away from them.
Lacus stared at her food. As usual, Athrun chose her favorite food but it seems that the presentation was first-class. Athrun noticed Lacus' dazed expression
"You don't like it Lacus?" he worriedly asked.
Lacus glanced at him "No, I love it, it's just that…" she said
"Just what?" Athrun confusedly asked
"Well, I feel a little out of place, I'm just wearing my school uniform and haven't fixed myself that much and…"
She suddenly stopped when Athrun placed his hand on top of hers and smiled at her "No you're not; you don't need to wear elegant dress or put on make up because you're already pleasing to the eye, and you don't know how happy I am sitting near the most beautiful and kindest person in the whole wide world" he explained "Let's eat now before the food gets cold" Athrun added. Lacus smiled at him then nodded.
After a finishing the dinner Athrun invited Lacus to walk at the sea shore with him. Lacus accepted his invitation and stood up and walked beside him. They were walking hand in hand and were talking about a lot of things. After walking a little farther they decided to sit at the shore and watch the stars. Lacus leaned her head at Athrun's shoulder while Athrun placed his arm around her shoulder.
"Thanks Athrun" Lacus sincerely said "Well, that's not all yet" Athrun said lifting his arm at Lacus' shoulder and then he kneeled behind her. He took something from his pocket "What do you…" Lacus was cut off when she felt Athrun place something around her neck. She looked down and was stunned to see a beautiful necklace with a pink diamond the shape of a small sword-like key hanging around her neck. "Happy Anniversary Lacus" Athrun whispered at her ear then kissed her cheek. Lacus blushed and turned around to give Athrun a kiss. They passionately kissed when Lacus parted grasping for air. Athrun stared at her lovingly "I love you Lacus". Lacus smiled at him "I love you more Athrun" then they returned to their original position, gazing again at the brilliant moon that's shinning upon them.
At Dearka and Miriallia
"So where do you plan on taking me?" Miriallia agitatedly asked while walking fast toward the school exit.
"Where do you want to go?" Dearka asked following her
"Home… take me home" She answered
"Mir…you want to…" He said then stopped walking
"Yes, so let's go now!" She shouted glancing backwards at Dearka who's staring at her with disbelieving eyes that turned to a naughty look.
"Are you sure?" He asked, something going on inside his mind
Miriallia scrutinized him and then upon seeing his expression, she realized what's behind that look. She let out a sigh.
"Whatever you're thinking is wrong so let's go" She said turning to walk again
"Come on Mir, let's go, we're at the right age anyway" He pleaded
"What?! Ugh…I'm not going to talk to you ever again you pervert!" She said then stormed outside the building slamming the door behind her
Dearka hurriedly ran after her. When he got outside, he turned his head to the left then to the right, desperately looking for Miriallia, he shouted her name while searching for her when at the corner of his eye, he saw a three guys going at the back of the gymnasium. He was about to go when he noticed a certain brunette with them. A man was pushing her back to the wall blocking Dearka's sight of who this person is. He observed them and saw one of them punch, whoever that is, at the stomach causing that person to loose balance and sit. Without thinking, Dearka ran toward them and was shocked to see Miriallia sitting on the ground clutching her stomach.
He immediately punched the person, who hurt Miriallia, on the face making him stumble and falling at the ground. His other companions charged towards Dearka but Dearka was far too strong for them. He dodged every blow they give and he kicked them back. The three guys are now lying on the ground wincing in pain. Dearka ignored them and hurriedly went to Miriallia's side.
He kneeled beside her and was helping her stand up. Miriallia opened her eyes and upon seeing Dearka, she threw herself at him, hugging him as tight as she can. Dearka was shocked at first but then he heard her sobs so he just wrapped his arms around Miriallia protectively.
"Shh…Everything's all right now…I'm here; I won't allow them to touch you ever again I promise" Dearka whispered at her ear.
Miriallia gently pushed him to look directly at his caring eyes then she nodded. Dearka smiled at her then placed his hands at her face and wiped her tears with his thumb. He stood up and offered Miriallia a hand. He gently pulled Miriallia with him but she was having a hard time walking. Dearka carried her and went to his car (A/N: Dearka owns a car) leaving the guys lying unconscious. He gently placed Miriallia at the passenger's seat and drove the car away.
He drove his car, unsure of the destination, but he knew that he needs to get Miriallia away from that place. He was thinking of a place to go but whatever he thought isn't that great especially the situation they are in. He sighed and decided to bring her home. He was driving when Miriallia spoke.
"Thanks a lot Dearka" Miriallia said looking at her palms
"No problem, just always remember that I'll always be here for you" He said reassuringly at her and stole a glimpse of her then immediately returned his focus on the road.
"Umm…Dearka about the date…" Miriallia was stuttering when she saw the car stop. They are at a compound near Miriallia's house so there are few vehicles around so even if they stop at the middle of the road no one would mind. Miriallia glanced at Dearka and was surprised to see his stunned face. She giggled at his funny reaction and Dearka didn't fail to notice her innocent laugh that makes his heart pleased.
"I actually have a plan" Dearka said
"Where is it?" Miriallia questioned
"It's a surprise" Dearka teased
"Fine, but you need to make sure I'll enjoy whatever that surprise of yours is" She demanded
"I know you would" He said then continued driving.
Back to Athrun and Lacus
They were gazing at the moon when Lacus remembered something. "Athrun, I'll just get something from my bag" She said then stood up and went to her bag. She saw the table where they ate and it's already cleared but she can still see her bag sitting on top of it. She opened her bag and took something from it then went back to where Athrun was.
"What did you get?" Athrun asked
"Well…here" Lacus showed Athrun a silver bracelet. She held Athrun's wrist and placed the bracelet there.
"Thanks Lacus" Athrun said then kissed Lacus' forehead
After several minutes of chatting and spending time together Athrun asked Lacus something, "Hey Lacus, since it's our anniversary, do you mind sleeping with…" Athrun was cut off by the ringing of his phone. Lacus blushed like a tomato but Athrun didn't see it because he excused himself and then walked a little farther.
"Hello?" Athrun asked a little annoyed
"Athrun…" a familiar voice answered
"Father, why did you call?" Athrun asked, now with a dazed tone
"Come home now, I have important things to discuss with you" He instructed then ended the call
Athrun frowned at his phone then sighed. He knew that his father's orders are absolute and cannot be taken for granted. He returned to where Lacus was. He was fast approaching when he heard her singing. Her angelic voice was soothing every part of his being turning his frown to a smile. He waited until her song was finished before going back to her side.
Lacus finished her song when she heard a clap behind her. She turned around to see that it's Athrun, he walked towards her smiling.
"So who was that?" Lacus asked
"Father" Athrun said his smile faded and he was looking down
Lacus knew what Athrun's father wants, and she understood it. It seldom happens but every time his father calls, it turns to be very important. She smiled at him and grabbed his hand
"Let's get going then... It's getting cold anyways" She said smiling at him
Athrun stared at her then forced a smile, "ok" he really wanted to stay with her longer but it really can't be helped. Right now Athrun was very thankful to have a very understanding girlfriend. Then he drove her home and went to his home as well.
Back to Dearka and Miriallia
After several minutes of driving, they arrived at the city and Dearka went to the mall's parking lot. After parking, they both got out of his car, Dearka locked it and they went inside the mall.
"We're shopping?" Miriallia asked
"You are, I really don't like shopping and I'm just going to help you carry your stuff" He explained scratching the back of his head
"But I don't have…"Miriallia was cut off by Dearka
"Don't worry, I'll pay for everything, I told you I'll make this date your best date ever right?" He smiled at her then placed his arm around her shoulder. This time Miriallia didn't object at Dearka's actions because she felt safe with him.
They walked around the mall and went to different stores. Miriallia didn't buy a lot of things because she's shy to spend a lot, especially with Dearka's money but still she bought some. Their final stop was at a department store. Mir was looking at a shirt when Dearka excused himself and went to the comfort room. But unknown to Mir, Dearka went to a nearby store and purchased a very special gift for her.
After shopping they went to the car and drove home. Miriallia was scanning the magazine she bought when she noticed a very unfamiliar place.
She worriedly glanced at Dearka "Dearka is this some sort of a shortcut?" she asked. Dearka glimpsed at her then smiled "Of course" He said making Miriallia let out a sigh of relief but was stopped when she heard what he said next, "not". "What?! Don't tell me we're lost" she nervously asked.
Dearka laughed at her, "So what if we're lost? I'm here with you anyways" he playfully said. Miriallia glared at him and punched his arm. "Oww…" Dearka shrieked but then he added "Don't worry Mir, I'm just kidding, just be patient we're almost there" Miriallia examined him then returned to her previous reading. "Sure but we can't stay there too long, it's getting dark outside" She stubbornly said.
Miriallia was almost done reading her magazine when she felt the car stop. She looked at Dearka then scanned the place they're in. Dearka stopped on the side of the road near a forest.
"Ok let's go" Dearka said getting off of his car. Miriallia followed him. Dearka was about to take another step when he remembered something. He ran to his car and took something from its trunk then hurriedly returned to Miriallia's side. Miriallia looked at the thing on Dearka's hand but he kept on hiding it from her view. "I can't show this to you yet" he teased "What? I'm not even interested to know what that is" She said. Dearka smiled at her and continued walking at the forest.
Miriallia was having a hard time following because of her skirt and she was getting tired because of the rocky road. She leaned at a tree and was about to call Dearka when she saw him stop. She then forced herself to catch up with him and when she was beside him, she was stunned to see the view in front of her.
They were at a plain field, near the cliff, with lots of beautiful and colorful flowers. Miriallia walked around and when she was at the side of the cliff, she saw a small river with different kinds of animals and flowers, about fifteen feet below. She smiled and returned to where Dearka was. She saw him sitting on a rock his back facing hers. Miriallia walked toward him "Hey Dearka what are you doing?" she asked. Dearka was startled at her and he almost fall from the rock.
She laughed at him when Dearka suddenly turned around and glanced seriously at her. Miriallia noticed him and stopped laughing "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you" she apologized looking down. Dearka smiled at her then gave her a nicely wrapped box. She stared at it "What is this for?" she asked. "For you, open it" he said then grabbed her hand and placed it. She opened it and was shocked to see a brand new camera. Miriallia stared at it for a while then glanced back at Dearka "Is this really for me?" she asked "Yes, I thought, since you like taking pictures I'll buy you a new and better one and then bring you to a place where you can take good pics" he explained
Miriallia smiled and gave Dearka a hug. "Thank you Dearka!" she said.
Dearka hugged her back but she suddenly let go of him and stared directly at his eyes "So tell me what the reason why you bought me a new camera? If you think you will be my boyfriend because you bought me one, you're wrong. I'll pay for this" she said
Dearka gave her a confused look, "What? No, I bought that because I know that it will bring back your smile, that alone is more than enough as a payment" he said smiling at her.
Miriallia blushed and turned around "and it won't be fun if you will be mine that easily" he added.
"What?! Anyway I still want to say…thanks…for being with me" she said then walked around taking pictures.
Miriallia was enjoying herself taking pictures when Dearka called for her "Mir, it's getting late, you told me to bring you home early right?" Miriallia sighed and returned. They sat at the car and drove home. Miriallia was really blaming herself for telling him to bring her home early. Then they arrived at Miriallia's home. "All right were here" Dearka said. Mir unbuckled her seatbelt and then kissed Dearka's cheek "Thanks Dearka, I enjoyed it" she said then ran to her house.
