Author's Note: Hey, everyone. I'm back for a second GSD fanfic. I can't believe what this has turned into. When I first got the idea for this, it was suppose to be fluffy, but I didn't like what I wrote before, and it somehow took a dramatic turn. Literally. Short and angsty, in case you hadn't already guessed.

I do not own Gundam Seed/Destiny, or any of the characters.

Dreams of Peace

By: Angel Wings-008

Why was everyone crying?

Kira didn't understand. They had all made a vow that they had sworn to live by. No more sorrow…no more tears. No matter what happened, they would strive to make the world a better place; they would spread love in place of hate, happiness in place of despair, and hope in place of hopelessness.

His world was hazy and fading away, but his failing eyes did not like what they saw. The floor where he lay was frigid and cold, but she was holding him, so he could keep from shivering. Kira's heart was as warm as it had ever been; that mattered more to him than anything. Why was Lacus sobbing as she held him in her bloodstained arms, murmuring words of regret? He didn't regret anything. She was safe, and that was all that mattered. He would give his life for her one thousand times more.

He wasn't in pain. It had been agony as the bullets first tore into tender flesh, but he was pleasantly numb now. Why was Athrun crying? He stammered apologies as he held Kira's hand in both of his, saying he was sorry, that he should have seen this coming. He had nothing to be sorry for; his best friend was not to blame for events that were out of his control. The assassins had been cunning, and quicker than the eye could see.

He was tired, but that was all right. Soon he would sleep, and eternal rest would come. Why was Cagali screaming, ordering him to stay awake, to focus on her until help had arrived? There was no help now; not for these wounds that ate away at him, weakening him with each ragged breath. He was okay with that, as long as the ones he loved were safe.

The spreading stains of blood soaked into his pure white uniform, vision blurring as his heart stuttered and failed beneath his chest.

Why was everyone crying? He'd reached their dreams of peace.

I am so depressed right now; I actually cried while writing this. I love Kira to death, I don't know what the hell possessed me to write this, but in a way, I'm glad I did. I wanted to see if I could, and I'm pleased with the result. Well...you know what I mean O.o

Thanks so much for reading! Reviews would be much appreciated.
