"Through Your Eyes"
A Kira and Lacus FanFic
Chapter 1: Unbearable Scars
"Simply trying to erase the boredom..." a pink-haired girl exclaimed on the phone. She hugged her knees and continued to laugh. She rested her head on the mirror near her, laughing at the joke her friend told her.
"Oh, yeah...don't worry, he'll ask you to marry him for sure Cagalli." The pink-haired girl laughed again because her friend ridiculed the idea of marriage. "Of course not Cagalli, I don't have time for love, love like you do!" She laughed again as the time passed by since they were on the phone.
Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Atha were the best of friends ever since they were little. Talking about boys, men and how people fall in love with eachother- magic and miracles...al the other things girlfriends talk about.
"You mean the black-haired guy I used to date in 9th grade?" Lacus chuckled at the idea and the memory of little old Filbert- her high school stalker!
"Well, he seems to be dead in love with you!" Cagalli, on the phone, exclaimed. She was teasing her best friend. Lacus rolled her eyes. "Well, talk about Glenn!" Cagalli continued to tease her. Lacus groaned. "You mean Glenn Fillmore? That guy actually planned to kiss me when he had a block party!" Lacus defended and she heard Cagalli chuckle.
"You should get a boyfriend soon enough." Her friend straightened her voice into a stern and more serious topic. Lacus fell silent then a memory of someone escaped her mind. "If you're going to wait for him to come back then it's useless! He left you...for what? For the business his family asked him to hold for!"
Lacus smiled faintly then bit her lip, astonished at the judgment of her best friend. "Don't be so rude Cagalli, he had the right to do that anyway..." the pink-haired girl said, her voice now a bit sad and confused. "Well, it's been five years since he replaced you and you're still waiting for him?" the girl on the phone groaned wildly then laughed. Lacus could not do anything but laugh with her friend though it hurts for her to hear someone ridicule him.
"He was a good guy though."
Cagalli laughed humorously at what her friend said. "Is that supposed to be an understatement cause I don't actually like the idea Lacus!" Lacus laughed faintly then sighed. "Do you think I'm still waiting for him?" Lacus asked, a bit depressed by the thought as it came back to her. Cagalli snorted, "Well, it's pretty obvious you are! I mean a lot of guys are crashing in outside you doorstep just to be your soul mate or whatever and look at you now! You're with no one!"
Lacus chuckled weakly then turned to the mirror to look at her face. She could still see a part of him inside her or she wished she could! Her palm made its way up to her face then down to her neck where she clenched a ring-shaped necklace. It was hurting her to even think about it. "I was just wondering why he did that...backing away from everything we've been through...and disappearing without even me knowing it! It's not like him." Lacus spoke. Her voice was now low and weak, filled with mists of confusion, anger but still with hope. I mean, what should she hope for? It has been five years since his left- five years of waiting and expectations...five years of still having to think about him and the days they had gone through.
"I don't know...neither did I expect him to do that."
Lacus felt something stab right through her heart. "I can't believe I actually told him we defeated the odds!" Lacus sneered as a much more dreadful memory replayed inside her head like a movie being repeated over and over again! She hated it so much that she wanted to find him and tell him he was such a jerk!
"Well, a toast for the fool who loved him and for the other fools who loved him!" Cagalli joked which brought Lacus to a bit of a laugh...but Lacus was unconsciously crying inside...trying so hard to turn back time and ask him why...so many why's. "Cheer up Lacus...I know you'll forget him...someday I hope!"
A tear escaped her eyes, "Ye...yea...yeah...of course...of course" she stammered. "Well, I gotta sleep now. Athrun and I are going out of town tomorrow so I need to sleep early. I'll only be gone for a few weeks though."
Lacus envied their love and for one reason hated herself. "Yeah...I think you should...Athrun might be getting worried about you sleeping up so late." Lacus looked at her bedroom clock- it was 2 am. "I'm sorry if I had to call you Cagalli...I just really need someone to talk to." The pink-haired girl apologized.
"Not to worry BF! I'll always be here for you!"
"Thanks..."
She placed the phone down and sighed heavily. She dropped herself on the soft bed, facing the ceiling of her huge condo unit. She turned sideways and embraced her pillow as she observed the ring she made as a necklace. "I don't understand why..." she whispered.
The crowd was waiting- waiting for him to arrive. The bride had already arrived with her gown ever so beautiful and her pink hair as shiny as ever. She looked worriedly and in doubt that he'd come but he promised her he will come to finally make a life of their own.
She tightened her grip on the bouquet and looked down on the floor. He still hadn't come and two hours had passed. She could see that the guests were getting annoyed because the groom has not arrived yet. "Shouldn't the groom be the first one to arrive than the bride?" she heard someone mumble from beside her. She turned her head away as a sheer of pain pierced through her heart. 'I know you'll come...you promised me Kira that you'll come.' Her thoughts were trying to lighten her up but her heart spoke nothing at all. Emptiness and sorrow and doubt... Why is he not yet here?
She raised her head as she noticed a car stop in front of the church. Her heart skipped a beat. 'I knew you'd come!' Her eyes glittered in joy but when she saw that it was not him that got outside her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. She felt something break inside of her as she saw this man carrying an envelope and reaching it out to her. She knew what was inside of it and she dared not to read it. She let go of her bouquet and accepted the letter. Slowly she opened it and read it slowly. Cagalli was beside her as her bridesmaid. Lacus froze, unable to move- dumbfounded at what was written in the letter. She fought back the tears bravely and Cagalli saw it through her eyes. Athrun touched Cagalli's shoulders.
Lacus dropped her hands and looked up at the blue sky hopelessly. She sighed heavily as her dreams were shattered by him. "He's gone to his parents... to the PLANT's" was all that Lacus could say.
She groaned and clenched her hair. "Stop remembering that thing Lacus!" she scolded herself. She hugged tightly to her heart the ring- the future she was supposed to have...the love he promised her. "He was so stupid!" she cried as she felt tears threatening to fall. She held them back so bravely then turned to face the ceiling once again. She breathed in deeply as she felt her heart breaking apart once again.
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
Watching as the stars as the wind blew past him, he observed the one remaining memory of his past- a certain ring. His brown hair played with the wind somehow was able to cover his eyes but never the teary features. His sad eyes deflected something sad from his past mainly 5 years ago. "I'm sorry..." he whispered silently that he didn't depict a certain someone behind him.
"Kira?" the girl called out.
The brunette looked back and saw a green-haired lady approach him and sooner embraced him. He flinched at her touch or maybe denied the feeling of being with her. "I'm alright Abby...there is nothing to worry about." He removed her form his arms slowly and kissed her gently. She smiled. "Your father told me you were leaving for earth tomorrow. When will you be coming back?"
Kira didn't answer but enveloped her hands with hers, feeling the warmth of their skin intact with one another. "I'll be back sooner...but it will take long. More that 2 months maybe...I'll just take care of business there." Kira replied lowly and then embraced the woman once again. She smiled and chuckled. "That'd be great Kira..."
BACK ON EARTH
"I'm invited?" Lacus asked herself in disbelief. "The World Business Conference would like to invite you to its first annual unity party in cooperation with the Business Federation." Andy read to her as Lacus gaped in surprised. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe the company has gone that far!" Lacus exclaimed happily. "What are you saying? The company has been doing great even after master Siegel gave the business to you!"
Her godfather laughed humorously. "I know but being invited to this conference takes a lot of guts...I can't believe it Uncle Andy!" The pink-haired girl covered her face in a slight blush and flattery. "Don't be...I'll take you to the conference later..." her uncle invited. Lacus nodded happily, forgetting her heartily problems.
WITH KIRA
"Sir...I think the venue is right here in this restaurant..." Kira's driver spoke. Smoothly, he removed his black glasses from his eyes and looked from his car window. Kira opened the door and went out to see the restaurant. He took in a breath of earth's eyes. "It's been five years." He told himself. A few girls stopped to look at him though Kira knew they were laughing and admiring him in some way.
"Isn't he cute?" one of the girls commented. They were observing Kira's physical features. He was wearing this long sleeved polo shirt which sleeves were folded up to his elbows. The polo shirt was a bit thin and it somehow revealed his virility and the shape of his well-built body. Kira dragged his black glasses through his brown, ever messy hair that made him more attractive to the girls.
Kira noticed the girl and winced at them which brought the ladies to displeasure. Kira snorted then went inside the restaurant. He could see some familiar faces of successful business men and women. They too recognized Kira and somehow went to his acquaintance which he happily accepted.
"Everyone...I would like to say the invitation was a bit abrupt but I'm happy most of you came here...we will be just waiting for one more VIP..." explained the president of the Business Federation.
Kira sat together with the others and found himself talking about his business which he disliked the most. Yet he had no other choice...he had to be of proper etiquette here in the field of business. He noticed some of the other business men stand up, looking from behind him. 'Finally... the late comer has arrived!' Kira thought. He stood up, turned around and saw her.
"I'm not accepting my father's offer in running the business...because I chose you Kira." She happily said. Kira smiled, admiring the sacrifice she had made for the both of them. But he himself wasn't sure of what to decide...of what to choose.
He froze as he felt the beating of his heart stop. She froze too from walking which caught the attention of the others. Their gazes locked on to eachother. Her eyes still the same while his was also the same. Yet there was something wrong with the both of them- something has changed for all those years. He could see the pain...through her eyes.
