Author's Note:

Thank you to all who reviewed. I'm so proud and really appreciatted for your comments. Please keep reading and reviewing my fic. once again thank you so much. I will do my best. and, I'm terribly sorry for some or lot of grammar mistaken and lated update.

Uh, here's the point of this story that I've forgotten to tell you guys :) :

Lacus is a girl who has been adopting by her step-father since she has born. But she never knows about that. Thats why her family' name is Simmon, not Clyne. And about Rusty, actually he was Lacus' best friend for years and had crushed on her. Lacus knew it and she felt the same feeling too. Eventually Lacus' father knew it and didn't approve that her daughter has feeling for the guy. it's not like he is over-protective to her, it's because he doesnt want to see someone else interfere his plan towards Lacus, whom he wants to get revenge with. I will tell furthermore in other chapters. thus, Rusty was his target and he killed him in front of Lacus. He hated Rusty for helping lacus, always supported her and looked after her when he(lacus' father) was hurting her. He also threatened Lacus to keep her mouth shut of the incident, otherwise he swore to make Lacus even more suffering.

Umm I dont know why i love RustyxLacus pairing, it just came unintentionally. thats why I made one for it (although they aren't mean together and never suppose to be). But I'm still more in love for KxL pairing ^^ so dont worry. something which motivatted me to put Rusty in this story because he looks like a good-man and caring, unfortunately I've never seen him speak up on GS except in the beginning of GS Special Edition and I like him lol. teeheee. so I hope it will help you to understand about this story' background. ;)

enjoy~

Chapter 3: Similar

A couple walked on the beach sands, while laughing and talking with their hands clasped together. There were a girl with long pink haired and a boy with messy orange haired. The sun was going to set itself. But the couple didn't mind it and still remained their endlessly-laugh to each of them.

No one knows what they feel in reality.

No one knows if they keep pretending to smile.

No one knows if one of them is being broken. They will think they're fine and would say 'Who cares? They are seem happy to each other, right?'

But who knows the truth?

"Lacus, what's wrong?", came a voice from the guy whose orange-haired and sapphire eyes with serious toned, broke the rarely moment between him and the pink haired beauty who stared into the beautiful sea just like her shining-sapphire eyes.

Lacus turned her head. She frowned and chuckled, "What do you mean Rusty? I really am fine.", she asked cheerfully to hide her confused expression for what her 'friend' said earlier made her wonder.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped Lacus' body tightly.

"You always hide something from me, Lacus. I can tell this through your eyes, and.. your smile.. really different than before. Although you were laughing a lot nowadays, but it never means anything to me. Please don't hide anything from me. Let me know what's bothering you...", Rusty whispered, while kept embracing Lacus proctectively and stroking her silky hair gently.

Lacus just speechless and did nothing, she only widened her eyes, shocked.

Slowly the tears rolled down on Lacus' cheeks towards her chin. She turned the embrace and clung her hands on Rusty' shirt, crying. 'I don't want to talk about this anymore...!', Lacus screamed to herself.

Rusty sighed, "Remember Lacus. I always be there whenever you need me. Because I...Lo..."

SLASH

Lacus slowly fluttered her eyes and saw the black ceiling behind her. She looked at the blur figure who seemed like the person whom she dreamt of as she whispered 'his' name. "Ru... Rust...ty...".

Slowly the blur vision on Lacus' eyes faded away. She realized that she wasn't in the person' arms that she wanted to be, but the brunette and muscular chests. He must be...

Before she could react, she opened her eyes to make sure who the person was. There was The Kira Yamato, the leader of the famous group in her school.

Kira' handsome face really close to Lacus',he really so exotic with his white shirt, and his hot breathe tickled Lacus face softly. It seemed like he wanted to kiss her!

Lacus immediately jumped.

"Ah!",she screamed. Kira looked really puzzle, and little surprised but still emotionless and calmly stared at Lacus.

Lacus' face blushed madly and said,"Umm, er.. Sorry, for the cried. I was shocked...that's why...uh-",before Lacus could finish it, Kira interrupted her,

"There is no need to apologize,", he said coldly.

Lacus flinched at Kira' sarcastic voice.

"Besides, you fainted about an hour ago. Since I've seen you lied on the hall way gate. What happened?",Kira asked in his low tone but still dull.

Lacus felt so weak when he asked her that. She shook her head.

"I'm ok. Thank you for saved me.. Kira.", Lacus smiled at Kira. Then suddenly Kira' face became red incoherently. It really made Lacus getting more wonder, what's going on!

When they began silent for a couple minutes, Lacus thought,'I'm so curious. Why Kira's still in here?',

Then Lacus asked Kira for make sure herself. "Ummm... Kira, what are you doing in school so late?",

Kira gazed into Lacus eyes and turned ask her."I will tell mine if you tell yours first"

Lacus frowned but she answered him,

"I was helping with some library work. That's all...",she explained.

"So what about you?",

Kira just gave Lacus a simple answer,"Some school' task".

After heard that, Lacus frowned, again. But Kira ignored it and said, "It's late at night, nearly midnight. You should not stay that too long in this school, Lacus."

Lacus felt a bit surprised because Kira was calling her first name, but she immediately hide it and to tell the truth, she loves the warm aura from Kira' sincerity for asking her like that. But then she only smiled.

"Your words really different. When we first met a few hours ago, you didn't even care, smile or talking-a-lot. But, when you said those words just now, I admitted that I only make such a thing opinion over you",said Lacus with her biggest smile.

Kira widened his eyes. Suddenly lacus' heart began hurt as she was falling again, but Kira immediately caught her body up for support. "What's happening with you?", he asked in concern, yet dull. When Kira squeezed her shoulders gently, the pain slowly soothed away and Lacus regained herself, so she pulled herself up.

"Uh.. Don't worry. It usually happens to me.. Thanks..",

she said mocked tough.

Kira didn't fully trust of what Lacus just told him but, he just cared for her safety.

"I'll walk you home.",said Kira with determination in his voice while pulling Lacus to embrace her once more.

"But-" she managed to protest but Kira cut her off."No buts! What if you get unconscious again? Who wants to help you then?",asked Kira in loud to warn her.

Lacus felt so terribly when Kira shouted at her like that. She only turned her head down. She didn't want to make the situation became harder so she shut herself up.

Kira felt regret for yelled at her then he apologized to her.

Lacus chuckled and said that he don't have to.

'Why she always keep smiling?',thought Kira while stared at her.

"Where do you live, Lacus?",asked Kira broke his mind of her.

Lacus hesitated for a while and wore her frown expression on her face."Well...Onogoro street.(N/A: strange, I know)"she mumbled. For a second she thought she saw him grin.

"I'll walk you there.",

Lacus shocked and shook her head for disagreement.

"Uh.. no.. I can walk by myself. Please, I don't want to bother you anymore..", she said.

Then Kira sighed.

"My street is near yours. So I can walk you home.",he plainly spoke as Lacus couldn't help but sigh herself in defeated.

"But let me go to the girl's comfort room first. I'm not feeling well..please?",Lacus pouted. Kira just sighed and nodded his head.

"Okay then..."

They walked along through the hallway as Kira was holding her shoulders softly.

'Mir is right. He is sure pretty nice..and warm..',thought Lacus.

"Are we nearing the girl's comfort room? Kira?",she asked.

Kira only respond her with nodded his head and led her to the girl' Comfort Room.

Lacus rushed herself and closed the door behind her. She breathed heavily and washed her face immediately.

"Why was that happened to me, again? especially in front of Kira?",she whispered.

She never wants to show her weakness to the others especially to her friends. Because she doesn't want to make them worry about her.

Lacus speechless and looking at herself on the mirror.

'Rusty, if you are here with me... this won't happen...", she thought. When for a second she felt that Kira was calling her name, she immediately walked outside of the room.

"Are you okay?",asked Kira.

Lacus just nodded her head.

"Of course I am, don't be so worry, Kira. It's not like I want to suicide myself in there",she said with a small chuckle.

Kira snorted and walked away while grabbed Lacus' hand softly.

xxx

Kira and Lacus walked along toward the main gate, holding hands. Lacus gazed at the gloomy skies. Lacus didn't dare to say anything as she couldn't help but blushed which caused by Kira's hand that was holding hers was so very tight and warm... She was speechless and stared at the black skies.

Kira looked at Lacus and thought,'something was bothering her. What's wrong with her?'.

No doubt, Lacus broke the silent-moment as she asked,"Umm.. Kira, may I ask you something?".

Kira stared at the corner of Lacus' eyes, frowned. But then he said 'yes' in low voice.

At first Lacus hasitated then, she couldn't help but asked him.

"Errr, it sure is nice out here, right?"

Kira looked puzzle when he heard that question then. He couldn't help but laughing out loud(N/A: lol!).

On the other hand, Lacus frowned.

"What's so funny?",she asked almost pout.

Kira struggling to held back his laughter as he turned ask Lacus,"Uh.. nothing... was there 'something what you wanted to ask' me?",

Lacus blushed madly, "Of course not!",she shouted.

After a couple minutes, they became silent to each other, and Kira turned into 'His self' again.

They walked in different way that not too far from the school but still on the same street. They through the fancy light and wondering how beautiful their city at night.

To Lacus, Kira seems do not want to share his feeling to others. He just want to keep it in his deepest heart so no one could ever know it. But Lacus feels so comfortable when Kira is near her just as she is near him.

"Are you always in school for about 5 hours after the school end, Kira?",Lacus asked broke the quiet moment.

"sometimes maybe",said Kira plainly.

Then Lacus couldn't help but laughed weakly,"uh, why is that?"

Kira didn't reply, instead he looked at Lacus with his emotionless-eyes.

Lacus frowned a bit and asked him,"People say you rarely smile, why is that Kira?",

Kira stopped his track and widened his eyes a bit.

"Sure you seem to have a lot of guts to tell me that..", said Kira with a temporary grin on his handsome face.

"Well, my friend just told me that. It is just question right? Would you mind if I know the reason why, Kira?",

Kira turned his head forward,"It's none of your business, Lacus.",

Lacus felt regret asked him,"Ah! Sorry, I just didn't mean to-",

"It's okay", Kira cut her words off.

Just a few seconds after that, Lacus' heart became more painful than before, and she lost her gesture.

Kira immediately caught Lacus' body,"What's wrong with you?",came Kira' dark voice.

Lacus just shook her head. But slowly the pain faded and Lacus could stand by herself up, but Kira still held her for the support.

"Sorry, Kira. I'm bothering you twice in a day", said Lacus weakly.

Kira just held Lacus hand tightly. "Tell me, why you always keeping something from me, Lacus?", asked Kira in worried and took a glance at the bandage which wrapping on Lacus hand.

Lacus flinched when Kira's manner reminds her of someone that really 'special' for her.

"I... because.. my body is so weak, and I have some diseases... that's why", Lacus explained,honestly.

"Why don't you tell me though? -sighed- Don't you even act tough when you're not feeling well, Lacus!", said Kira in his low tone so that he won't hurt Lacus with his voice.

As they walked on their way together and Kira hold Lacus' shoulder tightly but yet softly.

"Yeah, I know. Thank you...",she whispered though she knew he could hear it.

after many minutes...

"Uh, thank you for walked me home. But are you sure you will be alright, Kira? It's about 11 p.m. now", said Lacus.

Kira looked at Lacus and nodded."Of course I will", spoke Kira.

"Take care for yourself too, Lacus", said Kira as he walked off.

Lacus smiled, and thought,'although he seems like a bad guy and seldom to smile, he do concern for other'.

She looked at his disappearing for a second she thought she saw Rusty waving goodbye at her. "He reminds me a lot of you..." she whispered. She walked to her house and stopped when she faced the door. She was going to enter another hell tonight. and she only took a gulp. Before she put her hand on the door' knob, she rubbed her bandaged-hand. With a little scared, slowly opening the door before her, she widened her eyes in shocked.. Came devilishly voice...

"Do you know what time is it, Lacus?",asked the old man with sly grin on his wizened-face.

Saturday morning...

The bell rang and practice of the soccer club was over. Athrun landed on the floor knees first and panted for air as Kira landing beside him. "That was great game, Athrun", he told him. Athrun replied with a simple smile and a nod then they laid their heads on the floor, taking a little rest.

"Where the heck is Lacus? Oh my god.. Don't say that she is late!" Mir shouted while looking for her best friend. Then all of the girls' eyes widened when Kira took off his top. It revealed his well built body and his severe sweating. He has muscular chest and his messy hair made him even more attractive and handsome. No wonder why girls always chasing after him and screaming his name, hysterical.

In the mean time, the blond haired girl was running to her destination, she has golden-brown eyes which called amber and her looks like a boy but still pretty though. "Shit, 'he' will get mad if he found out that I did not watch his practice.", she grunted to herself, but then something bumped her from behind. In an instant, Cagalli turned her head and glaring,"Use your eyes, fool!",she said while rubbed her back which so hurt because that sudden bump and took a glance towards the person who just bumped her. Her eyes widened a bit when she saw a girl with pink haired. 'So this is a new student whom Lunamaria told me yesterday'.

Lacus felt a bit pain on her hand when she bumped the blonde girl."I'm terribly sorry, miss... I didn't pay attention to my circumstances and didn't mean to... Please forgive me!",said Lacus, while she was putting her books on the floor.

Cagalli felt guilty when she called Lacus a 'fool', then she quickly helped Lacus stacking her books.

"No, I'm sorry. Let me help you bring these stuffs, these seem burden you alot",said Cagalli, offered her help.

"Oh, don't! I can take these by myself don't worry", 'I hate myself for being weak',thought Lacus.

Cagalli frowned, she never knew the pink haired she met earlier is so proper and modest. She watched her ups and downs, but something that caught her attention was the bandage on her hand.

'Is that wound? Or something? but it's not like a wound, though', she thought. But she shook her head from her negative-thinking towards the pinkette. Then she began to collect the books.

"Oh, thank you for helping me miss...?", asked Lacus for the blonde' name.

"It's Cagalli. Just call me Cagalli", "Uh... and you are Lacus Simmon, if I'm not mistaken?", asked Cagalli while reached her hand to give lacus a handshake.

Lacus stared blankly at Cagalli, dumbfounded.

"Uh.. How could you know my name?",

Cagalli chuckled a bit and said,"From my friends ofcourse.".

Lacus felt embarrassed and took her hand into Cagalli' hand and began shaking them.

"It's nice to meet you eeerr.. may I call your name as Lacus?",asked Cagalli with a tint of red on her cheeks.

Lacus smiled, "yes, you may! and It's nice to meet you too, Cagalli".

"Umm, well.. would you mind if we're walking together? maybe we have same direction? Just offering and, yeah it is up to you",

Lacus began smile brightly,"Yes! I would love too."

They began walking along through the hall way and chatting.

"Hey Lacus, do you mind if I introduce you to my brother?",asked Cagalli

"you have a brother? But we just met a few minutes ago, then you introduce me to your brother? It's just too fast, isn't it?",

Cagalli chuckled, "Nothing's fast, it just you. I know we just met a few minutes ago, but so what? That isn't the reason. We already be friends, didn't we?",

Lacus surprised when Cagalli mentioned 'already be friends', she never knew she could get a friend so easily in her new school. But then she smiled while she was repeating the two words 'be friends' in her mind.

"Okay, I don't mind it. But would you like to tell me about your brother? He seems interesting and I want to know him well before meeting him", asked Lacus.

"Yeah, he does. But, poor him. He is the unlucky man in this school. He's been very busy, and always gotten chased. and he is so quiet. If you meet him, I dont know what will do you think toward him. But for your information, he is unspoken type",

Lacus was wondering what will Cagalli's brother looks alike, but deepest in Lacus heart told herself that she has met the person whom cagalli told her, earlier.

When Lacus awared that she was walking towards the field where the people were playing soccerball and many girls were cheering some name. She looked up to see Cagalli who was going to explore the field, she seemed looking for someone.

'Maybe her brother', Lacus thought.

Suddenly a loud voice called, sourced behind them both, "Cagalli!"

Lacus turned her head around to see who was calling her friend' name, which she immediatelly recognized it. Cagalli did the same. When Lacus saw the person, She speechless as Cagalli said,"Kira?".

The guy whose brunette, tanned skin and handsome face, is The Kira Yamato. Lacus surprised, Cagalli shocked, and Kira confused...

"Err...Sorry...?"
