Starry Night: Aftermath of SEED Destiny
Song: "If Everyone Cared" by: Nickelback
Athrun POV
From underneath the tress, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
Kira was always staring at the night skies these days. I found him where I always find him, on the beach under the moon light. After two wars, where I turned on him, tried to kill him; where my most precious person had almost lost his life twice, trying to save everyone else, and I had been involved with the attempt to take his life, both times. I am surprised that he forgave me. That he would still let me stand beside him. That he would even accept me as his lover.
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Memories of all the times Kira almost died, of all the times I almost died came back to me. War was a terrible thing. Yet we will fight to protect what we know is right. Now that a brief period of peace if finally here, I am glad that we are alive.
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
If everyone care and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
I can still remember the men who didn't care about the lives of people who fought for them; the men who manipulated everyone's feelings and turned everyone against each other. The hurts were deep, and tears were endless.
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Why can't we just forgive the past pains, put aside the differences and live at peace. Isn't that what everyone wants? If only we could…
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Kira POV
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
I can feel Athrun's presence next to me it made me smile. I enjoy having Athrun close to me. This is paradise. The war is over, finally, for a while at least. Unlike the end of the last war I am not lost. Athrun is by my side, and I know what I am fighting for. My eyes follow the soft glows of the firefly around me until I am looking into Athrun's green eyes.
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
The destiny plan is not the answer, neither is war. I take Athrun's hand, my eyes speaking to his, saying: together we can show them a way. We, who have fought against each other, we who were enemies, we who are lovers; we can show them that there is another way, to achieve what everyone wants. Peace. A way that will make everyone be glad that they are still alive.
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Yes I remember the people I killed. The lives I ended. I remember Nicol. I am so glad you told me about him. Now I can remember him properly. Yes and I told you about Tolle. I remember the lies that were told, the pain that was caused. It's time we move past that. Let's not let their sacrifices be in vain. Yzak and Deaka are working hard in PLANT, Cagalli and Lacus are working to mend the Earth, we will do our part as well, then soon, one day, we will…
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
The two boys' lips meet as they fell onto the sand in each other's embrace. They understand each other, and they have no more doubts in their minds. As they broke apart for air, the two stare up at the starry sky. Like the tiny stars, they are merely dots in the vast sky of the world. Once trapped on separate ends of the sky, before they realized that they shared the same sky. Now they are together, they are in love.
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
"Kira I love you." I told him and I kissed him again.
"Athrun I love you too."
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died…
