After a few minutes of them both breathing in and out to calm down their now racing hearts, Kira and Lunamaria finally started the conversation Kira had called to have in the first place.
He began by explaining to Lunamaria what the situation was with Athrun and the fact that all of his close friends were very worried about him being seemingly unable to let go of Cagalli or at least unwilling to let go of her, after all of this. Kira eventually got back to his question about Meyrin.
Lunamaria shared his concern and even agreed with him that instead of a counselor Athrun should try and find love again, but when the conversation went back to Meyrin she then asked the question that Kira had been dreading.
" Why do you want to know about Meyrin's love life?"
Kira paused for a moment his conscience squirming under the thought of either lying or breaking Athrun's confidence neither of which he really wanted to do. It was the memory of Athrun's mournful face and joyless eyes that finally made him break down and tell Lunamaria the secret that Athrun had told him so long ago about Athrun's feelings for Meyrin.
After she heard that little bit of information everything about Meyrin's love life came pouring out including the fact that when she was sixteen Meyrin did have a crush on Athrun. A very big crush.
Kira was so relived by this announcement that he let out a short laugh. Right before he had been able to work up enough nerve to call Lunamaria to see if his crazy idea had even a chance of working, he had been wracked with doubts about whether or not Meyrin actually had had any feelings or attraction for Athrun.The way she had hung around him back then had lead the entire crew to believe she did but actually nobody had ever known for sure.
The news that she had at one point in time had feelings for Athrun and the fact that Meyrin was still single put some true hope in Kira's heart that this plan might actually have a fighting chance.
Knowing that he had to have someone on his side that knew Meyrin, Kira proceed to tell Lunamaria what he wanted to try and accomplish between their mutual friends and or realtives then waited for her thoughts on it.
Lunamaria stared into space for a few seconds her mind absorbing the suggestion that Kira had just made.It was a good suggestion and after a few more moments of thought she asked Kira what he wanted her to do to help him set her little sis and his brother-in-law up on a date.
And what Kira had requested that she do had lead up to this moment the moment of two sisters staring at each other stubborn looks adoring both faces, neither one wanting to give an inch. Lunamaria because she desperatley wanted her sister to go and Meyrin because she would rather have the flu than go on another blind date.
Meyrin Hawke stared at her sister the anger she was feeling clearly shown on her face. Meyrin could not believe the nerve that Lunamaria had set her up on a blind date without even asking!
Yes, Meyrin knew her whole family thought that at the age of thirty four she should at least be married. After all Lunamaria had gotten married at nineteen to Shinn Askua and then had gotten pregnant with Mayu a mere two years later.
Thus to her parents eyes she had some catching up to do. It's not like she had never dated. She had she'd been engaged twice for crying out loud!
Of course that was not a topic to bring up around her family, they could understand why she dumped her second fiancé after all she had found him making out with his second cousin Dawn at their wedding rehearsal. That's enough to put a dent in any relationship.
But the first fiancé, well they didn't get why she left him at the altar at all. Meyrin kept telling them it's because she hadn't loved him enough but they just asked what she meant by enough.And when she tryed to explain to them what she meant, they just told her to grow up and stop looking for fairy tale love.
So you can see why Meyrin was a little steamed that her older sister who had for the most part left her alone about this part of her life was now jumping on the bandwagon with her parents.
Opening her mouth to once again give her a firm no, Meyrin looked into her sister's large blue eyes, they were pleading with her to do this, she wasn't sure but she thought she even saw tears.
Biting her lower lip Meyrin straightened her back in desperate attempt to not give in to her sister's puppy eyed look. She always had a hard time saying no to that look, but this time she had there was no other option! She refused to date another weird friend of the family or worse one of Shinn's coworkers.
To her extreme annoyance Meyrin could not stop herself from taking one last look at Lunamaria's face. Seeing the protruding lower lip sealed Meyrin's doom ( as it always did) and with a loud sigh Meyrin threw her hands up into the air and said," Where am I suppose to met him?"
With a happy squeal Lunamaria threw her arms around her sister then settling on the padded bench beside her, Lunamaria proceed to give Meyrin all the details about her up coming date.
Except the most important part. The name of the man she was going on the date with.
