Too Shy

Satureday, August 12th

"Kira! Hurry up!" Shouted the representative of Orb, "can you get any slower!!"

"I'm coming!! Geez…, Cagalli." Kira groaned miserably as he tried for the fifth time in attempt to zip up his zipper, which he had been having difficulty with for the last half an hour.

"Grrrrr…., what's the problem with this thing!!" Kira thought rapidly before his eardrums got another handful of Cagalli's ranting.

"Kira!! If you do not come out of the changing room for another THREE seconds, I swear I'll bust in and kick your ass!!"

"But Cagalli!! It's not my fault that there is something wrong with the zipper!?" Kira protested.

"Why don't you just get Lacus to help you with that!?"

" Cause she's a girl..."

"GOD!! Why can't you just get over your shyness of others seeing you in your underwear??"

"Hey!! I like my privacy! Besides, if you are going to have someone help me, why not get a guy in here?" Kira requested while fidgeting with harshly with his zipper. Not realizing what he said.

"But you won't let anyone but Athrun to see you in your under-clothes, Kira." A soft, melodic voice replied.

"La-Lacus! How long have you been listening?" Kira asked nervously. Embarrassed that Lacus, out of all people, just heard the conversation between himself and Cagalli.

"Oh! I just came back from retrieving the wedding rings from the shop, don't worry Kira. I only heard the last two sentences." Lacus replied.

" The wedding rings? Lacus! Let me have a look at it!" Cagalli squealed.

"But, shouldn't Kira be the one to see it first?" Lacus questioned. "After all, he was the one who picked them out."

"But Kira is soo not coming out of the changing room for another hour!" Cagalli replied.

"Why?"

"Because he is having problem with the zipper on his tuxedo pants, which he refused to let anyone help him 'cause he's too shy!" Cagalli directed heated towards the changing room door.

"Kira, shall I help you? There's no person other than me and Cagalli in here." Lacus asked softly. She knew how sensitive Kira is to things, especially when it comes to his privacy.

"Lacus…" Kira panted as he collapsed to the bottom of the changing room, extremely tired out from the numerous attempts at his zipper, and the small amount of fresh air in the change room is not helping the situation.

Leaning herself against the door of the change room, Lacus explained. "Think about it, Kira. Cagalli is your twin, so that makes you guys okay to see each other in underwear. I'm your closest friend and past fiancée."

"So? Are you coming out of the stuffed changing room or not?" Cagalli asked, curiosity clearly hinted in her voice.

"Fine." Kira mumbled as he slowed opened the door, allowing the girls to see his embarrassing situation.

The two stared at Kira before Cagalli burst into laughter and Lacus trying to suppress the giggles that's attempting to break free.

"Well? Are you guys going to help me with this or not?" Kira asked, obviously pissed and humiliated.

"Ha—Ha Ha Ha…ha..h.., Sure." Cagalli replied first while trying to beat down the laughter going up her throat.

"Come here, Kira." Lacus instructed.

Kira walked over to Lacus, a hint of blush clearly shown on his tan cheeks. But before he knew it, Lacus already started working on pull up the zipper while requesting Cagalli to help at times.

After ten minutes

"Here, it's all done!" Lacus exclaimed cheerfully.

"I'm glad that's finally over!" Cagalli gasped as she tried to stand still. "Can we NOW check out the wedding rings?"

"Of course, just let me bring it over." Lacus said as she stood up and walk towards the counter on the far edge of the room.

Taking a heart-shaped box with bright diamonds fitted all around the sides of the box and gently lay it on the table in room. Its color is white showing the pure appearance it gives out.

"It's beautiful..." Kira comments as he settles down in a chair.

Copying his actions, Cagalli and Lacus did the same and all three young adults concentrated their vision on the small heart-shaped box.

"Who would have thought that my YOUNGER brother would be married before me?" Cagalli sniggered.

"Kira, would you do the honors of showing as the rings?" Lacus asked formally as she took the delicate box and handed it to Kira's hands.

"Yea…" Kira replied. Looking at the precious item that belonged to him and his one true love is finally in his grasp.

It's been three long years I've waited…now I can finally marry Athrun… He thought before he was once again interrupted by his loud tomboy sister.

"Kira, Hello? Stop daydreaming and open it already!!" Cagalli hushed while waving her hand franticly over Kira's face.

"Okay! I'll open it as long as you get your hand out of my face!" Kira inquired as he tried to avoid been hit by her uncontrolled waving.

Taking his message as his final warning, Cagalli moved her hand away from Kira's face and sit back down.

"Now Kira, please open it." Lacus insisted patiently.

Kira nodded towards the girls before he gently open the lid.

All three let out a silent "Whoa..." for they are faced by two contrasting rings that represented the sun and the moon.

The ring which represented the sun had the most beautiful golden crust that shines brilliantly on the crook of the ring. The finger-band was decorated with carvings of clouds and doves. Mini crystals and gem stones engraved along the sides of the Crystal-clear diamond which sits in the center of the holder of the ring. The Golden crust is shaped like the sun, which had a glow that's somewhat purple indicating Kira's eyes.

The other ring which represented the moon looks very magical. The hand-band is the color of the darkest ocean; pale white carvings are very nicely engraved along the thin band showing the stars and different times of the moon change. The center of the ring was shaped like a full moon; its color is that of pure white representing Athrun's innocence and youth. A diamond similar to the one on Kira's ring sits in the center of the moon.

"They are perfect…" Kira is the first one to break the silent.

"Yea…" Cagalli nodded. "They are the best wedding rings that I've seen so far!"

"Well, Kira. When are you going to propose to Athrun?" Lacus asked.

"I-I d-don't know…" Kira whispered, holding the rings against his chest. "I'm afraid he'll go into shock…" He admitted. After all, Athrun is still 18. Not yet an complete adult and is, lets say, un-experienced with sexual activities. Since marriage involves these activities, Kira thought it would be not fair for Athrun.

Sensing his brother's hesitation, Cagalli rest a hand on his left shoulder and said, "Kira, I know both you and Athrun very well. I know you are afraid of scaring him or been rejected to. But we all know that Athrun isn't that kind of person."

"Cagalli…"

"Exactly," Lacus cuts in. "and if you do not propose and marry him now, he will be up for the taken by his many suitors!"

"Yea! Kira. You have NO idea how many MALE suitors have tried to ask him out, but cannot because it's already spread world wide that you two are together?" Cagalli exclaimed.

Sweatdrop "C-Cagalli, calm down…"

"Cagalli has made a very good point, Kira." Lacus said, "Athrun is also the Chairman of plants right now, if you two get married. You can have control over plants too. And help/assist him!"

"You guys have a point…"

"OF course!!" Cagalli and Lacus said together.

"OKAY!! I'LL GO PROPOSE NOW!!" Kira gave up.

"Yeah! Mission accomplished!" Cagalli exclaimed happily.

"Go for it, Kira!" Smiled Lacus.

What have I gotten myself into? Kira thought gravely before heading out the room, but was stopped by Cagalli's ranting again.

"Kira! Change out of the tuxedo before you go!" Cagalli instructed.

Oh MAN!!
