Endlessly

Summary

AU For the as long as Kira can remember, he has always loved Lacus, but she has never noticed his feelings. As feelings are revealed and tensions rise, can Kira get Lacus to see him as more than just her best friend or will he lose her before he even has a chance to try.

Disclamer: I don't own Gundam Seed's characters of anything for that matter. Just my story.

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

A boy could be seen walking through the park in the dead of the night. The winds rushed through the air with extreme fierceness as the area around the boy became drenched with rain by the storm that raged around him. Looking up to the sky, tears could be seen flowing down his face as he starred at the stars with one thought coursing through his mind.

'I wonder if this storm is strong enough to wash away all my pain'

Collapsing to the ground, he sat in the rain thinking about all the events that led to his fate. About all the words that were said. About all the people who were hurt. About all the feelings torn apart.

'What more can I give…What more can I lose…What more can I sacrifice?'

As the boy looked up to the sky looking for the answers in the stars with his dull violet eyes, he began to reminisce on all that had happened in the past few weeks.

Kira sat in front of his laptop polishing an essay he had been working on for the past couple days. He was so intertwined into his work that he didn't notice a figure watching up behind him. The person came up behind him and placed their hands over his eyes.

"Guess who?"

Kira smiled as he turned around to be staring straight into deep sky blue eyes.

"Hey Lacus." He said as he took in her appearance. Lacus was a vision of an angel to Kira. She wore a sleeveless white shirt with a matching skirt that rose just above her knees. She had the most amazing pink hair which shone in the sun and gentle at the touch. 'My God! She looks so beautiful today. Not that she doesn't even time I see her.'

"What are you doing out here? Don't you have class right now?"

"The professor let us out early because he ended his lecture faster than anticipated, " Lacus answered, while moving to sit next to Kira at the table. As she looked at him, she noticed that he was wearing a pair of blue jean shorts that went past his knees and a long black sleeve t-shirt. "What are you working on this time, Mr. Super Genius?"

Kira and Lacus both attended the highest ranking high school in the nation, Gundam Academy. Kira went to school on an academic scholarship offered only to the greatest minds of the nation. Kira was one of the only people to receive a scholarship to the school and couldn't have attended the academy without it.

Kira grew up in a small town with his father, mother and twin sister Cagalli. He and his sister both applied by the academy at the request of their parents. They just wished for their children to have the best opportunities at their fingertips for a brighter future.

Along with Kira, Cagalli passed the entrance exams with flying colors and also received a scholarship. The two were gifted, but Kira's genius was recognized among almost all the teachers at the academy.

Lacus was also very talented. Lacus was idolized by many at the academy whether it be for her looks, grades, or her personality. Aside from all that, Lacus came from a very wealthy family. Lacus's father owns a huge company boasting million upon million in profits each year and rising.

It was by mere coincidence when Kira first met Lacus. He could still remember the first time he saw Lacus and was captured by her charm and beauty.

Flashback

Kira saw a girl crying in the middle of the street. The first thing Kira noticed about this girl was the bright pink hair that sat atop her head. Most who had pink hair would have looked silly, but he thought it looked adorable on this girl. Kira saw a car coming towards the girl and before he could get a word out he ran out to the girl and pulled her out of the street.

Panting, Kira looked at the car passing by before he looked down at the girl in his arms. Kira's breath caught in his throat as he was captured by deep pools of blue that seem to go on forever.

The girl smiled up at Kira.

"Thank you. My name is Lacus. What's your name?"

Kira looked puzzled for a moment before answering, "Kira Yamato. A better question is what you were doing in the middle of the street like that."

"I tripped and fell scraping my knee and I couldn't get up. Thanks to you, I'm okay now and my knee doesn't even hurt anymore. Let me pay you back. There's an ice cream shop just down the street, I'll treat you."

Kira just stood there in a shock because she had just said all that in one whole breath and blushed because he had been staring at her face for the whole time. It took him a second, but shook himself out of it and accepted it gladly.

End of Flashback

This first encounter ten years ago led to ten years of friendship that strengthened each and every summer leading up to this day. Kira and Lacus had a friendship that holds a bond that most people can't understand. When people first meet the two, they always mistake the two for a couple.

It pains Kira each time this happens. The same thing happens every time. Lacus says it's a just a great friendship, while Kira laughs and agrees, when deep inside he wishes for it to come true.

That is one secret that is unknown between the two friends. As much as Kira loves to have Lacus so close to him everyday, Kira dies a little each day because of this closeness. Lacus is oblivious to the fact that Kira harbors a love for her.

Kira had never spoken of this to anyone, not even his twin sister Cagalli. He will never be seen as more than just a friend to Lacus. It almost killed him when he began to realize this to be true.

No matter how many heart breaks Lacus had gone through with her boyfriends and crushes, Kira could never seem to be the man Lacus was looking for. He was always there to comfort her. He was always there for her to cry on. He just wanted more than all that.

But even though it killed him inside, Kira kept his feelings hidden for the sake of his friendship with Lacus. Thinking back on the times when Lacus ran to him for support and how close he was to spilling his secret, Kira sat there staring into space.

"Kira?"

Kira snapped back to reality as Lacus was waving her hand in front of his face.

"Sorry, I guess I kind of spaced out for a minute. What were you saying?"

"I was just saying that it's almost time for us to get to class."

"Oh yeah, let me just finish this up and save so we can walk to class."

"Okay."

Kira quickly saved his work. Closing his laptop, Kira stood up and walked up next to Lacus. Stealing a glance over at Lacus, Kira couldn't help but wonder if his feelings would ever be known to the pink haired princess.

Little did Kira know that soon his secret would get out and cause him more heartache than he could have ever dreamed of.
