Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed
This chapter is mostly flashbacks of Kira and Lacus. I don't know why I bothered adding in the first part, but it would give you a good idea of the upcoming chapters.

The car sparkled as Shinn wiped it for the millionth time. It was a beautiful white car with red and black stripes. Even though it was home made, it could win any trophy any day. Kira chuckled as he saw Shinn fixing his hair in the car's reflection.
" What?" Shinn asked.
Kira shook his head sideways. " You're getting real fond of it"
" It got me in the championships, Why wouldn't I be?" Shinn said. He took out his water bottle and dumped it all over his head. Kira raised an eyebrow at him and Shinn looked at him.
" It's hot"
Kira took a towel from the rack on the wall and threw it at Shinn. Grabbing it, Shinn dried his hair. Kira checked his watch and saw that it was 7:30pm. It wasn't that late, but Shinn needed his rest and he did look tired.
" Cagalli's throwing a ball for you, you know" Kira said. He knew that he could've told him tomorrow, but the suspense to how Shinn was going to act, was killing him.
" What? For me?" Shinn said.
Im so surprised he said that.
" Unless there's another boy we know named Shinn Asuka, yea it's you" Kira said. Shinn scoffed and put the towel around his neck.
" I don't see a point in it" Shinn said. "A masquerade ball was it, for all the drivers"
" You got that right" Kira said. "But for the sake of Cagalli, make an appearance there" He patted Shinn on the shoulder and grabbed his keys which were on the counter. Shinn frowned.
" Yea..For Cagalli.." Shinn said. " The things we do for that woman"
Kira just smiled.
Kira walked into his house and threw the keys onto the counter. Slowly he made his way up the stairs and into his bedroom.
His bedroom wasn't something special. It was just a place where he had many special moments to reminisce about. All the fun him and his friends had. All the things he did with her. Yes. It wasn't special. Not at all.
He walked over to his drawer and pulled out a letter. A letter that Lacus had sent him right after she left. It was sent with an unknown address, so he had no way of contacting her. She made it seem like she hated him and never wanted to see him again. It was probably how it was anyway.
He opened the letter carefully, as if opening a crystal chest that had been locked away for centuries.
Kira,
You're probably confused. Just think of it this way, I had a good reason...A reason I can't tell you.
Don't think I'll forget you. You were the best that happened to me. The love you gave me will never be replaced. The times we shared will never be erased. I love you Kira, I want you to know that, but it just wont work.
Perhaps its for the best. Please Forgive me.
Lacus
Kira sighed. The times they shared.
It would be something he would never forget either.
" Please?"
" It's not that I don't want to, It's just that, if you're in it and something is suddenly wrong with the car-"
" That will never happen Kira!" Lacus said. "How many times have you been in the car and something happened to you?"
" It wasn't me, but Shinn was almost killed" Kira said. "It's not fit for someone like you"
" I know you want to think fo safety first, but Kira...Just once?" Lacus said giving him the cutest face she could ever do. Kira looked at her from the corner of his eye and sighed. He hated it when she did that. It was like a trance he couldn't snap out of.
" Fine...Once..."
Lacus gave a big smile and kissed Kira on the cheek. Kira smirked and turned to face Lacus.
" That's it? I thought I would get more since it's something you've really wanted for a long time" Kira said. He pulled Lacus towards him, making the gap between their bodies closing. Lacus wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a deep kiss.
Kira kissed her back with just as much passion. When they were finally out of breath, Kira pulled away and smiled.
" That was more like it"
"Look Kira! How beautiful..."
Kira walked over to the edge of the hill and looked down. Lacus stared at him as if he was crazy. At the edge of the cliff, there stood a beautiful flower, a magenta colour and the rarest of them all. Lacus had spotted it and was admiring it. Kira, on the other hand, had other plans.
" What are you doing?" Lacus said, moving closer to him. " You might get hurt!"
" I'll be fine" Kira said. He slowly moved down, carefully. His fingertips touched the stem of the delicate flower, when suddenly the land below him slid down towards the edge of the cliff. He flipped over and grabbed the root of the nearby tree.
" Kira!" Lacus yelled as she started to run towards him.
" No! Stay back!" Kira said. Lacus stopped and looked with nervous eyes.
Kira swiftly grabbed a rock near him and pulled himself up. Lacus ran over to him and knelt down beside him. He was a bit dirty near the face and his clothing, but he was alright, and that was all that mattered.
" What were you doing!" Lacus said. Kira took deep breaths and looked up at her, with a smirk on his face.
" Getting this" Kira said, revealing the still ever beautiful flower in his hands. Tears rushed to Lacus' eyes. She threw her arms around him tightly. Kira was surprised at the sudden action.
" You were almost killed!" Lacus said, letting the tears flow down. Kira smiled and put his arms around her.
" There, there, Im fine"
Lacus pulled away and stared at him. " All that for some silly flower, I don't know what I would do if I lost you!" Kira pulled her close to him and kissed her on the forehead.
" If you thought that was dangerous, wait until you see the things I would do for you" Kira said and put the flower in her hair. He pushed the pink locks behind her ear. Lacus looked up at him and smiled.
" I love you"
Kira just kissed her.
He knew she did.
" I cannot believe you did that Cagalli..." Lacus said and groaned.
" You didn't have to take it seriously you know..." Athrun said.
Cagalli shrugged. "I kinda like the colour" She played with her now purple hair. They were playing truth or dare and she was dared to dye her hair purple. Luckily, it wasn't permanent, It would come off in a week or so.
Shinn, on the other hand, was laughing like hell. He was the one who gave Cagalli the dare. Lacus and Athrun frowned at him.
" Shinn, this isn't funny" Athrun said. "How will Cagalli present herself at meetings and such?"
" She asked for a dare" Shinn said, straightening himself up. " So I gave her one"
" Just wait until I get you back" Cagalli said. Shinn just scoffed.
" What's going on?" Kira asked as he entered the house. His eyes widened as he saw Cagalli. Shinn couldn't help but snicker.
" Cagalli?" Kira said.
" Not. A. Word. Kira." Cagalli said through clenched teeth. Shinn was really pissing her off.
" I don't think I want to know..." Kira said and sat down on the couch. Lacus walked up to him and sat down beside him.
" It was a dare from Shinn"
Kira smirked. " I should've known"
" Hey, it was too tempting" Shinn said. " Okay Cagalli, your turn"
" Truth or dare bro?" Cagalli said.
" truth" Kira said.
" Being the wimp you are..."
" One thing I've learned from you Cagalli" Kira said. "Never come in contact with you-"
" Have you had sex with Lacus before?"
" Someone's got guts" Athrun said, surprised.
" Questions like that can scar a kid you know" Shinn said.
" Deal with it" Cagalli said. She turned back to Kira." Well? Come on dear brother, I don't have all day"
The question caught Kira by surprise, but he remained calm.. He looked at Lacus, but she looked away when he did. Kira gave a small smile. It was just like her to be embarrassed.
" Excuse me while I go puke" Shinn said and got up. He walked out of the living room and out of sight.
" Isn't this kind of a private question?" Kira said.
" We're all friends" Athrun said, smirking. Kira gave him a 'thank-you-im-being-sarcastic-' smile.
" I'm waiting.." Cagalli said.
" I'm not answering that" Kira said. Cagalli looked at him.
" It's truth Kira, you HAVE TO"
" Make me" Kira said and looked her in the eye.
" Oh I will" Cagalli said. " Even though the answer is KINDA OBVIOUS"
" If it is, then why are you asking it?" Kira said just as Shinn walked in.
" Done puking?" Athrun said.
" I just took a stroll around the kitchen, hoping you guys were done" Shinn said. " So..Kira's turn yet?"
" Fine, I'll change the question then" Cagalli said. "How many times did you guys have sex?"
"Oh for the love of god..." Shinn muttered.
" Cagalli...I'm not answering anything about sex, or anything related to sex" Kira said. Cagalli gave him an innocent look.
" 10 times? Or maybe 20?" Cagalli said, ignoring his statement. Kira sighed and put his hand on his forehead.
" Could be more" Athrun added.
" Probably" Cagalli said. "Hey Athrun, did I tell you the time I walked in on them nak-"
" CAGALLI!" Kira almost yelled.
" Let's continue with the game" Lacus finally said. They all looked at her but Cagalli just frowned.
But Lacus, I asked a question!"
" And I'll answer it" Lacus said. Cagalli gave a big grin.
" Later"
Athrun and Shinn held in a laugh while Cagalli mumbled a 'fine'. " If only Kira could keep this up now" Athrun said. Cagalli, who was sitting beside Athrun, didn't say anything. It was Kira's first time in a big race, and she was worried for him. She knew that he would be alright and nothing would happen to him, but sometimes, things could happen. " Cheer up Cagalli" Shinn said, not taking his eyes off the racetrack. Cagalli sighed and nodded. " where's Lacus?" Athrun asked. Shinn shrugged as Cagalli stood up. " She's with her father, at some business meeting" " I see" Athrun said. They all watched as Kira swerved around a corner, in 2nd place. If Kira got first, It would mean he's the best race car driver out there, and they're race car would be the best one out there too. All of a sudden, Kira sped up, getting right up beside 1st place. Cagalli smiled. " He's almost first!" She looked at Athrun and Shinn. Her heart dropped at what their expressions were. They were worried. Really worried. " what is he doing!" Shinn yelled at Athrun. " He knows the car will overheat if he goes any further!" Athrun's fists were clenched together. " Kira..." Cagalli looked back at the race track. The moment her eyes landed on the track, her heart stopped and she felt the whole world freeze. A puff of smoke had emerged from Kira's car. " KIRA!" then after, came flames. Lacus ran into the hospital as fast as her feet could carry her. Kira couldn't be dead. He couldn't! He would never leave her like that. She saw Cagalli, Athrun and Shinn and quickly ran over to them. " Cagalli!" Lacus said. Cagalli ran over to her and supported her tired friend. " Lacus..." " Is he...please tell me..." Lacus couldn't go on. Just then, the doctor walked out. All four of them ran over to him, hoping for good news. The doctor explained to them that Kira was fine, but his left arm was broken and he would have to stay overnight for a checkup. Other than that, he would be fine if just had some rest. " You may go in and see him" The doctor said. " Thank you Doctor" Athrun said. The doctor nodded and walked away. " You go in first Lacus" Shinn said. " We'll go in later" Lacus slowly nodded and walked over to the door. She slowly walked in and saw ira laying on the white bed. He had a bandage on his forehead and around his chest and arms. He looked like he was sleeping soundly. Lacus was frightened when Cagalli had phoned her. She was in the middle of an important meeting she had been planning for months, but iy was nothing compared to Kira. She walked over to his sleeping form and pulled up a chair beside the bed. She took his hand gently and looked down at him. Her heart skipped a beat when lavender orbs gazed at her. " La..cus?" " Kira.." Lacus said. She gave a smile and kissed him on the cheek. Kira groaned and blinked. " Where am I? All I remember was me racing and then...it became pitch dark" " You're at the hospital" Lacus said. " The car overheated and almost exploded. Thank god you're alive..." " I see" Kira said. " Weren't you at a meeting?" " I was..." Lacus said. " Im sorry..." Kira said. " You were planning this for months...and I came and screwd it all up for you." " Don't say that Kira" Lacus said. She looked at him. " It's just some stupid meeting...knowing that you're safe and alive is worth missing some meeting" Kira smiled and tried to sit up, but instead, pain shot through him. Lacus gasped and slowly put his head back on the bed. Kira took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling. " Ouch..." Lacus gave a small laugh. " What do you need? I'll get it for you" Kira reached his right hand out and Lacus put her hand in his. He took her hand and kissed it. " All I want, Is a kiss from you" And that's what she gave him.
" COME ON KIRA, STEP ON IT!" Shinn yelled at the white race car. Kira's car sped up to the car in 2nd place and zoomed past him. Athrun gave a sigh of relief.
