Chapter 6

AT SCHOOL

"Time for attendance!" yelled one of the teachers who looked over the heads of the students on the school bus

"Lacus are you sure?" Kira glancing over at Lacus who sat next to him, her hand clenched in his.

"Trust me okay?" Lacus said looking into his eyes causing Kira to smile "Can I have a kiss?"

Lacus smiled and leaned forward to plant a kiss onto Kira's soft lips, accepting the kiss Kira moved closer lightly pinning Lacus against the window as he used one hand as support as the two shared a little make out session.

The pink haired girl felt her body press up against the side of the bus as they began the battle of absolute bliss. "mm.." the girl said accidently letting a moan escape from her lips. Kira placed his hands on her cheeks and pulled her deeper into the kiss, slowly Lacus lowered her hands onto Kira's chest and gripped his shirt lightly finally submitting to her feelings. The kiss ended abruptly when she felt Kira pull away causing her to frown.

"Why'd did you stop?" Lacus whispered

"Oh sorry" Kira replied leaning in once again trying to capture her lips, Lacus only nodded. They were about to continue when the teacher yelled "Lacus Clyne!"

Pouting Lacus yelled back "Here!"

"Kira Yamato!"

"Heyo!" Kira replied back

"Alrighty everyone is here, let's get going!" the teacher yelled out putting his clipboard away before the bus started driving away from the school

"Where were we?" Kira asked

"Let me show you" Lacus said smiling, she grabbed onto Kira's collar and pulled him closer about to capture his lips when Cagalli peaked over the seat.

"What are you two doing?" Cagalli asked happy to ruin their moment

The two sighed "Nothing now I guess" Kira said sitting up, while Lacus pouted once again. Frustrated with people ruining their moment.

Cagalli leaned forward "Keep it PG-13 children"

Soon two other heads popped up "You two sure go full on"

Lacus blushed a deep red when she realised who the two were; Amanda and Emily

"How much did you see?" Lacus asked

"One word can describe this situation" Amanda said

"Everything" Emily replied completing Amanda's thought

Lacus' blush only deepened "It's your fault Kira!" she yelled hitting his chest, Kira could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

The three girls laughed at them "It's okay it'll be our little secret"

"Don't worry I'll protect you from that retard" yelled Chris from the back of the bus

Kira immediately ducked his head, as his expression changed from embarrassment to regret. Lacus placed her hand on Kira's holding it tight.

"Back off Fitz!" yelled Cagalli "Don't make me play whack a mole!" she said furious at his remark

"Don't listen to what he says, okay Kira?" insisted Lacus her gazes looked with Kira's.

Kira smiled giving her a little hug, and a peck on the cheek which caught Lacus off guard.

"Aww you two are so cute!" Emily said smiling at them before herself and Amanda ducked their heads down behind the seat.

"She'd be a lot cuter if she dated someone who was actually in her league" said one of the boys part of Chris' crew

"That person isn't you" Lacus yelled back

"You'll be better off dating someone who wasn't an asskisser!" yelled another boy

"You're the only asskisser on the bus, in fact you kiss Chris' since you're always so up in his grill" Cagalli yelled back frustrated with the insults the boys were trying to throw at Kira.

"Alright that's enough back there!" Yelled one of the teachers in the front seats

Everyone immediately settled down, however for Lacus it was a different story. She was fuming from the insults they were directing at the person whom she loved. Noticing the physical frustration that was etched on Lacus' face, Kira slowly sat up and placed one knee on the chair supporting his weight, he wrapped his arms around her waist and gave her a little squeeze, kissing her on the cheek causing Lacus to smile. He then lowered himself down and started looking at the side of Lacus' face.

She was still mad, luckily for Kira, it always went down whenever Kira showered her with affection. "She must really care for me huh?" he thought to himself as a faint smile rose to his cheeks, he placed his arm around lacus and gave her another hug.

"What?" Lacus said weirded out from Kira's strange behaviour

"I love you" he said softly, his eyes were watched as Lacus' reaction change into a more pleasant one. She turned towards him and wrapped her arms loosely around his neck "I love you too" before the two shared a small, soft kiss.

Pulling away, the two looked deep into eachother's eyes before smiling at eachother. Lacus removed her arms from Kira's neck, turned and cuddled closer to him, making sure to lean her head against his shoulder. Kira kissed her on the top of her head and the two sat in the moment enjoying each other's warmth.

Cagalli threw an eraser over the two lovebirds, hitting Amanda and Emily, the two looked over the seat and saw Cagalli gesture at her phone "Check your text" she mouthed

The two nodded and quickly ducked down, Emily pulled out her phone and saw the text from Cagalli

'Eww, they're so clingy, it's gross'

The two giggled 'We think it's very cute'

'Not you guys too… Seriously tho, Chris is a pain in the ass'

'Not much we can do'

'We can only keep 'em away'

"Emily, do you think Lacus did the homework that was assigned last week?" Amanda asked looking over at the girl who sat beside her.

She shrugged "No clue, I bet she did though. Why?"

"Because I want to see if I did one of the questions right"

Emily glanced over the seat "Well you can ask her right now, while you can"

"But I don't want to ruin their moment"

Her friend smile and lightly hit Amanda's shoulder "Just do it"

Sighing, Amanda lifted her head up "Hey Lacus what did you happen to do the homework that was assigned last week on the weekend?"

Lacus stared at her for awhile as her mind went over the events that happened on the weekend

"Kira and I had sex" she thought to herself, drawing a big vivid blush to cross her face.

"I-I had Kira over" Lacus said trying to dismiss her blush

"Oh really?" Emily said joining in the conversation

"What were you guys doing?"

"Studying and homework" Kira said trying to act cool

"Then why did you stay over there for three days" Cagalli said adding to their troubles

"I was allowed to I asked mom" Kira responded, he felt his palms start to sweat.

"You guys studied and did homework for three days?" the two girls asked

"That's really hard to believe" Emily added

"This is none of your business guys" Lacus said hiding behind Kira

"What do you have to say Mister Yamato?" Amanda asked

"I can neither confirm or deny anything without the consent of the Secretary of Defence." he said trying to act serious

The three girls stared at them for a little bit "Uh-huh" the three said before retreating behind their chairs, Lacus and Kira let out a sigh.

"I'm going to nap okay?" Lacus said quietly

"Goodnight" Kira said smiling

"Amanda, Emily. Phone" Cagalli yelled

"Gotcha!" they replied

'I bet they totally did it'

'Eww, I don't want to know if they did'

'THREE DAYS, there is no way they studied for three days'

'Knowing Kira, they probably did?'

'Nah'

"Hey Kira, did you guys have sex?" Cagalli asked leaning over the seat

Kira immediately gagged "What the heck?!"

Lacus immediately buried her face into Kira's back, making sure to hide her embarrassment as the question.

"What? It's a totally valid question, there is no way you two studied for three days straight"

Amanda popped her head up "Cagalli, I don't think you should be asking that question"

"I'm the sister, I think I should know"

"I can neither confirm or deny anything without the consent of the Secretary of Defence." the brunette replied once more.

Cagalli flicked his forehead with her fingers "Fine. Until you tell me, that's what I'll be assuming."

"Fine by me" Kira replied

"This is so embarrassing" Lacus thought to herself

Eventually, everything died down and everyone was acting their usual self on the bus. Which also meant that Lacus was finally able to take a nap peacefully. She moved around trying to find a comfortable position, the brunette stood up and situated himself so that his back now rested against the window of the bus. Lacus then scooted in between his legs resting her back against his front and her head in the grove where Kira's shoulder connected to his neck. She picked up Kira's jacket and pulled it over her body using it as a makeshift blanket.

"Comfortable?" Kira asked

Lacus nodded "Yeah" she closed her eyes

Kira wrapped his arms around her waist, holding onto it firmly "She sure is beautiful" he thought to himself before he too started to doze off.


The bus rolled down the highway , passing through the downtown core and across a large silver bridge that served as the entrance to the museum. Slowly the bus pulled up to the school bus unloading area and when it finally came to a stop, the bus drive sung the doors open.

"Okay, young ones!" yelled Mr. Tambo

"Make sure you grab your belongings before heading off this bus"

Mr. Tambo cleared his throat "Once you exit the bus please wait on the side of the building for a head count!"

"Yes sir!" the students replied

Quickly popped her head up from behind the seat, like the many times before, periodically checking up on the sleeping lovebirds. The blonde haired girl leaned in and whispered "Kira, Lacus it's time to wake up". Cagalli knew that she didn't have to yell because Kira was a light sleeper and literally everything woke him up. Well, anything that was in his hearing range anyway.

Slowly, Kira raised his heavy eyelids, blinked a few times before turning his head, allowing the rays of sunlight to assault his groggy eyes. "We're here" he mumbled to himself while he used his right hand to gently rub his eyes. "Wake up Lacus" he said, forcing the sleeping Lacus Clyne to sit up.

"Hmm?" she said lifting her head from its resting place, she reached forwards with her outstretched arms giving them a good stretch, before allowing a yawn to escape from her fragile lips. She turned and smiled at her boyfriend before lifting herself off him.

"Here let me help you" Cagalli said grabbing hold of Lacus' hand

"Why didn't you wake us up sooner" Lacus asked as they approached the long line consisting of their school

Kira lifted his hand up to his mouth and let out another yawn "Man, I'm tired.."

"Sleep when we get home then" replied Cagalli

Kira nodded slowly, while waving off his sister's comment "Yeah, yeah" was his only reply.

"Why didn't you wake us?" Lacus asked peeking over Kira's body

"Well Amanda, Emily, Tom and I decided not to wake you guys" Cagalli said finally joining the group

Lacus turned her stares to the boy who walked beside her on the right, his hand in hers, Kira's gazes fixated on the group of students that gathered by the entrance of the building. She gently squeezed his hand and whispered "What's wrong?"

The brunette shrugged "Something feels off"

"Like what?"

Removing his gazes from the group of people, he brought them onto the girl who looked up at him. Kira smiled "Don't worry about it" he said kneeling down to place a kiss on the top of her head. Lacus returned the kind smile and pulled his arm closer to her as she let a lighthearted giggle escape from her lips "Best boyfriend ever"

When they joined the line, they waited around while Mr. Tambo and the other teachers counted heads and made sure the museum was ready to take on their group of children. The teachers had the group of 30 kids split up into 3 groups of 10, they were smart enough to make sure that Chris and his group of friends weren't in the same group as Kira; for safety reasons. Once the groups were made everyone got into them and walked towards the school entrance to the museum.

As they rounded the corner, Kira couldn't help but feel unease with the whole situation. A puzzled looked engulfed his calm demeanor "Someone's staring at me" he mumbled. Picking up his head, Kira looked around, his eyes scanned the surroundings around him before locking with Chris' and his gang of hooligans. Whose stares were glaring back at Kira. Smiling, he picked it up and waved, drawing the attention of Lacus.

Curious at what Kira was doing Lacus looked at what he was looking at and whispered "What are you doing?"

Kira smiled "Would you like to be my partner in crime?" he asked winking at her

"What do you mean?"

"Let me show you" he immediately wrapped his arms around her waist

Lacus raised her arms up surprise "What are you-" she watched as Kira moved closer and closer until their lips touched, causing Lacus to melt immediately. The two quickly got into the motion as they shared another passionate kiss, Lacus' hands slowly moved up until they rested on his cheeks pulling him deeper into the kiss.

"Come on let's go" Chris grunted walking into the museum. His boys nodded and quickly followed.

The two were so in the moment that they had forgotten where they were. Lacus and Kira were in their little bubble, disregarding the mass crowds of people that walked on either side of them and the stares they were getting from parents who tried their best to divert their young children's eyes. Their bubble was so big, that they only sounds they were able to hear where the sounds of their breaths, the ruffling of hair, clothing rubbing against each other and the sounds of their lips hitting.

Kira pulled Lacus closer deepening the kiss with every second

Lacus pulled away "Wai-" Kira immediately captured her lips once again

"W-We need to-" Lacus was cut off when she felt Kira move his hand up resting it on her head gripping it firmly, only growing the passion of their hot moment

Giving up Lacus stopped being her tamed self and lost herself in the kiss, eventually the two pulled away breathless "You're so intense" Lacus said breathing heavily

Kira smiled "Let's go in"

Lacus nodded and followed Kira inside the museum.


"Wow!" said an astonished Lacus looking at the different mobile suits that lined the walls of the museum.

"These are ancient" Cagalli said trying to size up one of them

"The OS used here must be old" Kira cried out marvelling at the OS masterpiece that was in play in these first generation gundams

"There you go again" chuckled Tom "Instead of marvelling at the metal masterpiece, you marvel at the software used"

"Of course" Kira yelled holding his arms out "The OS we create, advance the world allowing us to achieve the unachievable, showing that we have no bonds. There are no limitations stopping us"

Lacus sighed at Kira's remark "As expected from a OS major"

"I want to make my mark on the OS world one day" the brunette said bringing his mind back down to earth

"Say have you guys been taking notes?" Tom asked pointing to his notepad

"I'm betting on you to take notes TomTom" Cagalli said patting him on the shoulder

"What about you Kira?"

"I've been taking notes on the different OS' in play?"

Tom sighed "Then that means Lacus is making up for that then"

The pink haired girl let out a light, playful giggle "Don't worry I'm taking notes"
"Phew" the siblings said in unison

The four friends walking in a little cluster apart from their group, while the siblings marvelled at the different exhibits Tom and Lacus took the notes collecting the information so that when they went back to school they wouldn't be empty-handed in the assignment they had to present at a later date.

"Dude I'm hungry" said one of the students

"Do not worry we're heading into the cafeteria" said the guide

"What are you going to grab?" Tom asked the others

"Going to get myself pizza" the blonde said rubbing her stomach with her free hand

"I'll probably get a burger, how about you two?" Tom said turning his gaze to the lovebirds

"I brought a lunch" Lacus said pointing to her bag

"Kira your turn"

"I'm not going to eat I would like to visit the OS exhibit"

Lacus frowned "No, you're going to eat" she said grabbing hold of his wrist

"But we are here for only a few more hours" Kira said pleading for her to let go

"I'll share my food with you, that's final" Lacus said pulling Kira to one of the cafeteria tables

"TomTom let's go buy food" Cagalli said making her way to the line up, Tom nodded and followed suit

"Hey, help me here!" Kira yelled at Cagalli and Tom before turning back to face his girlfriend "But Lacus"

Lacus shook her head "Sit" she commanded, the brunette sighed and obediently took a seat. Lacus pulled her bag from her back and placed it on the table, she unzipped the front zipper and pulled out a box

"Is that a bento?" Kira said surprised

Lacus nodded "I had a feeling you'd pull this" she reached into her bag once more and pulled out two pairs of chopsticks "I woke up early to make this" Lacus passed Kira a pair of chopsticks. She removed the cover revealing the different foods she had stored in a nice, orderly fashion showing Lacus' perfectionist trait.

"It looks really good" Kira said lavishing at the amazing site that laid before his eyes.

Lacus giggled at Kira's reaction "Feel free to dig in" she gestured at the box

"Don't mind if I do" Kira said indulging his sense with food, smiling Lacus sat down beside him and joined in.

After buying their food Cagalli and Tom joined up with Kira and Lacus sitting across from them, luckily everyone was now allowed to roam around the museum as long as they made it back to the bus by 2:00pm which favoured everyone not wanting to be controlled by the school anymore.

"Can we go see the exhibit?" Kira said trying his hardest to pull off a puppy dog look

Lacus smiled and pinched his nose "I don't know, can we?"

"Yes"

"No" replied Lacus

"Why not?" Kira asked with a frown etched on his face

"I want to see something with you"

Kira lowered his head "Fine"

Lacus smiled, she took the chopsticks away from Kira, wrapping the ends up with an unused napkin she carefully place them in her bag. She grabbed the lid and put it back on the box before sliding it back into her bag zipping it up when she finished putting it away.

"Ready to go?" she asked, Kira stood up, grabbed her backpack and slung it over his shoulder "Yeah"

"Thank you" Lacus reached for Kira's hand leading him away from their two friends

"Where are we going?"

"Outside" Lacus said not once looking back

Tom and Cagalli watched as Lacus led Kira away "Well they ditched us"

The boy chuckled "Let them have their alone time"


Quickly, the pink haired girl led the brunette out of the cafeteria and onto the exhibit floor, with her grasp firmly around Kira's wrist, she pulled him down the center hallway passing by the various small attractions, and exhibits that brought people to this museum.

"Lacus, I want to visit the exhibits" Kira said groaning, throwing a little bit of a fit as he was being dragged past every exhibit in the museum.

"Later Kira" Lacus responded softly as she guided Kira past the crowds of tourists that stood in front of the information booth

"But we'll be leaving soon" Kira moaned, looking down at his watch that read '1:45'.

"Then we can come back here another time" The pink haired girl responded refusing to take any more of his shenanigans.

She led Kira outside the museum guiding him down steps, she was in a rush. She didn't even allow Kira to stop and observe the different exhibits. She turned the corner and led Kira down the side of the museum revealing a beautiful back garden hidden from the crowds of people pouring into the museum. "Wow" Kira said quietly

"This isn't it by the way" she replied, walking the path through the garden

"How did you know of this place?" Kira asked staring at the back of her head

"Dad brought me back here when I was little"

Lacus led the brunette pas the garden, bringing him to an outlook point, overlooking the magnificent view featuring a large body of water glistening in the sunlight. Lining the edge of the lake was a little hiking trail with people walking along them. It was far removed from the museum itself, hidden enough that a regular visitor of the museum may not know of unless they walked around the actual building.

"See that trail, I used to go hiking there with dad every month. Want to hike that trail with me one day?" she said flashing a little smile, she ran her fingers along the railing waiting for Kira's response "Kira?" she asked not hearing a response

She turned her head and witnessed a speechless Kira, the light in his eyes made them sparkle as he stared out at the beautiful scenery.

She lightly tugged on his sleeve "Kira?"

"You're very beautiful you know" Kira said smiling at her, his eyes full of compassion catching Lacus off guard

"W-What do you mean?" Lacus asked blushing from Kira's complement.

The pink haired girl locked eyes with her boyfriends beautiful amethyst eyes. They were so full, so bright, so vibrant; they sparkled with compassion. That was the one thing that stood out, they were Kira's eyes; they were so nice to stare into Lacus always thought, before she knew it she found herself getting lost in his eyes "So soft" the girl said unknowingly outloud.

-Start Flashback-

Lacus' POV

"Kira!" I yelled from the top of the stairs as I tried to grab the attention of the boy who laid sprawled out on the couch "Kira!" I yelled once more. I waited for a few seconds for a response and when I didn't get one I casually made my way down the steps of the stairs and to the couch that was in the middle of the living room.

I gently leaned over the back of the couch and gazed down at my favourite boy, he had his hand over his eyes. I smiled faintly, while I marvelled at the spectacle that was my beloved Kira Yamato. "Baby?" I whispered as I moved closer to his sleeping face, I freed my hand and with my index finger started to poke at the backside of his hand he used to cover his eyes.

I continued to gently poke his hand until I gave up trying to wake him. Pulling myself up into an upright position, I fixed my blouse and turned myself back towards the stairs. I let out a small sigh "tsk tsk" I said to myself before I started walking up the stairs. Carefully I placed my hand on the railing and started walking up the steps.

I let my fingers lightly graze across the small white poles that connected the steps to its railing, and I allowed my feet to step freely along the carpet that was below my feet. Normally I would try to avoid these things because I didn't like my feet getting tickled by the carpet but today I just felt the need to.

When you live in such a big house, it was very easy to forget about the little details that made up the place I lived. Casually letting my hands graze the railing top, allowing my fingers to lightly tap each individual pole and letting my feet get tickled by the beautiful red carpet of which I stepped on was always nice.

Eventually I reached the top of the step and peered out at the open hall that stood before my eyes. Ever since mom died, both dad and I refused to change the layout of the hall solely because mom was the one who designed it. Pictures of the three of us, big and small were neatly placed on little tables that were on either side of the hall. Beside the pictures were mom's favourite flowers forget-me-nots. These little blue blooms were so bright, so vivid, so lively. They added so much to the very atmosphere of the room.

I slowly walked to one of the tables, the one nearest to the stairs of course and smiled. One the table was a picture of my mom and I when I was 4 year old. She had her arms wrapped around me as we both smiled at the camera. I remember that moment really well actually, it's one of the pictures of I love most and is the one I keep in my purse at all times. People always said I looked and acted identical to mom when she was a lot younger, dad even said so himself.

I turned my attention the the flowers that stood behind the picture in their cute little vase, gently I cupped the one of the flowers in my hand and stared at it "You're the odd one huh?" I asked the pink petals. Mom always pointed out the occasional pink petals to me when I was little, she always said that there was a reason to it and that there was a lesson to be learned from them.

I closed my eyes as I lightly stroked the soft petals of the flower, my mind bringing me back to that moment when mom first told me about it, back to when she was still around.

14 years ago

"Lacus come here please" my mom yelled out from the top of the stairs. I was at the center table in the living room when she called me. Immediately I threw down my crayon I used to colour in the outline of a haro that was in my colouring book. I quickly stood up and started running towards the stairs "Coming!" I said in my high pitched 4 year old voice. I was a very small girl for a four year old, I never realized how small I actually was until I got older.

My small legs ran until I got to the bottom of the stairs, I raised my hands up and grabbed hold of the first small pole that connected the railing to the steps and as fast as I could, one step at a time, one pole at a time, I eventually made my way up the stairs. Using the stairs was always hard for me back then, mainly because I always wore a dress.

I absolutely loved it when mom called my name, she was so caring and loving, she also gave the best kisses and hugs. I always had a smile etched on my face whenever she called me because I knew that she was going to show me something cool or because she wanted to spend time with me. We always had girl time together, I truly love spending time with her.

Finally reaching the top of the steps, I was breathing heavily and my dress had gotten wrinkled from me running as fast as I could up the stairs. I ran my little hands along the length of my dress straightening it the best I could, before I ran over to my mom who stood beside one of the round tables. Her bright blue eyes glistening, and a beautiful smile rested on her lips as she stared at me.

"I'm here!" I said placing my little hands on the table, while I balanced on my tippy-toes, trying my best to look over the top of the table. I watched my mom gently clasp one of the flowers in her hand, and I looked on in awe. It was such a pretty flower, it was pink different from the rest of the blue ones "Pretty" I mumbled mesmerized by the bright pink metals.

"Just like our hair right?"

I nodded contently "Why is it pink mommy?" I asked turning my gazes from the flower to my mom, I watched her smile at me and Immediately I returned the favour.

"This pink flower is unique isn't it?"

"Unique?" I asked confused "What's that?" my mom bowed her hand down gesturing me to sit on the floor, I lifted my dress slightly and dropped to the floor, I fixed my dress after I found a comfortably position. I watched my mom do the same as she scooted closer to me, her feet were tucked behind her and her arms were out. I jumped into her arms and placed my small hand on hers, as I started to play with her fingers.

"Unique means special" she said softly, I only nodded. I always thought mom was all knowing, which I still do to this day.

"You're special like this pink flower"

My eyes sparkled with excitement "Really?!" I asked basically jumping up and down in my spot.

I watched my mom nodded "Of course, your mommy's little pink flower"

I pushed myself into her arms, wrapping my small arms around her waist as I dug my face into her side. I felt my mom giggle in laughter, I felt her embrace me "You're so silly"

"Hehe" I replied mumbled into her stomach

"Will you love anyone other than mommy? Maybe a boy?" she said jokingly, I know now that she was joking but back then me being super young I didn't't take it as a joke.

"Noo!" I yelled squeezing her tightly "I want to stay with mommy!"

"Don't worry my love, I won't ever leave you" she responded reassuringly.. She was always the best of reassuring me, she always found ways to make me feel better, she always knew what would make me stop crying. Her voice was just wonderful to listen to, I remember all the times I fell asleep in your arms just listening to her sing or read to me.

"You've become good friends with that Kira boy hmm?"

When I look back at that statement now, mom called it. She knew before I knew, she knew that I eventually would fall in love with Kira.

Lifting my face from my mom's side, I smiled at her brightly "Yeah! He's really funny!"

"Do you like him?"

I giggled and playfully shook my head from side to side "No, no. Kira's my friend mommy" I said burying my face back into her side.

"Would you like to go shopping with mommy?"

"Yes please!" I replied smiling brightly into her side, I really loved spending time with her. My mom was my world, she was my bestfriend and my favourite person ever. The more I think of her, the more I think about how much I needed her now and during my times of struggle. She was my safe haven. I felt her arms wrap around my bum, and my feet leaving the floor as she picked me up and started on her way to her bedroom where I would watch her change and sleep in bed with.

"I love you mommy" I said squeezing her tighter with my tiny arms

"I love you too sweetheart"

Back Lacus' POV

I lifted my head up as a single tear rolled down my cheek "I miss you so much mom". Letting go of the flower, I turned back towards the stairs . I slowly walked over to them and proceeded to walk down them. I had forgotten why I came upstairs in the first place, but remembering that moment in time made the reason why I came up here leave my mind. My eyes were fixed on the couch and the boy who was now sitting up on it, I smiled "He's my bestfriend mom" I whispered to myself as I finally stepped off the final step of the stairs.

I waltzed to the couch and sat down beside Kira, I turned towards him and smiled a sad smile "Good morning" I said trying to act as if everything was fine when everything wasn't. Kira turned towards me and the smile etched on his lips turned into a frown and his eyes started to sparkle like my mom's whenever she saw me cry. A surge of emotions and memories started to hit me like of wave, all of them having that signature sparkle my mom had in her blue eyes. No longer being able to hold the waves of emotions, I started to cry. I missed my mom so much, she was my everything and anything that reminded me of her triggered these raw emotions.

Bringing my palms to my cheeks I tried my best to wipe away the free flowing tears that ran away from my eyes. Before I knew it I felt myself get pulled into an embrace "You miss her a lot, don't you?" Kira asked me, I nodded in response "I miss her so much" I grabbed hold of his shirt and pulled on it trying my best to hold onto the reality that I was losing. "We can visit her soon, okay?" he whispered gently into my ear. I nestled my face into his neck and gripped him tighter as a finally submitted to my feelings.

All these years that Kira had known me, he has never saw me cry and the only time when he did was when he attended my mom's funeral. Ever since that day I refused to cry, in fact I never really opened up to Kira about her but somehow he knew the reason why I cried. It was as if she was here at this very moment telling him why I was crying. It was as if she was there with me, I felt her presence, it was so warm, so light and comforting. It was as if she was there holding me in her loving arms, as she lightly stroked my hair and sung to me.

Maybe it was just me, but I believe in superstitions, so I believe she was there. Afterall, she did say she would never leave me so many years ago.

-End Flashback-

Normal POV

"You know what I mean" Kira positioned himself so that he was standing in front of Lacus, he placed his hands on the guardrail prohibiting Lacus from escaping

"We're not going to kiss, we've already kissed many times today" Lacus said already sensing what Kira wanted to do

"I know we have, am I not allowed to stand in front of my girlfriend?"

"You're allowed but I don't trust you" Lacus said trying not to stare at his seductive expression

"Oh yeah?"

Kira lowered his head down trying to look Lacus in the eyes, immediately Lacus moved her gazes elsewhere

Furrowing his brow, he moved one hand resting it on Lacus' chin. He raised Lacus' head so that she was staring right into Kira's eyes, Lacus' pale skin turned bright red causing the boy to smirk. Kira took one step forward causing Lacus to take one step back, backing up against the railing she placed her hands on the railing gripping it tightly. The brunette kept moving forward until he lightly pressed his body against Lacus' small frame, he moved his lips down so that they were inches from hers. Lacus' eyes were on the verge of closing as she tried pulling Kira into a hot, passionate kiss but Kira held her head from advancing.

She bit her lip "You're so hot" she said mumbling

"Do you want to kiss me?" Kira whispered allowing his hot breath to touch her lips

Licking her upper lip she weakly nodded and pressed her hands onto Kira's face pulling him into a hot kiss. Kira started moving his hands slowly up and down Lacus' body.

"W-wait" Lacus said breathing heavily. Kira buried his face into Lacus' neck placing small pleasureable kisses causing Lacus to moan uncontrollably. Lacus ran her fingers through his hair gripping it gently while trying to stay tame at the same time.
"N-not here" she pleaded, trying to hold back a smile from the amount of pleasure and affection Kira was awarding her. Kira moved one leg in between Lacus' causing her to gasp when she felt his member press against her.

"Kira we're in- mmm" the pink haired girl was cut off when the brunette crashed his lips against hers causing Lacus to run wild

Kira pulled away "Want to do it here?" he didn't get a response instead Lacus leaned in trying to capture his lips, the boy smiled and pulled further away "Well jokes on you we can have sex later"

Lacus pouted "Why'd you work me up just to spoil the moment" she said lightly punching his chest

"Did you really want to do it out here?" Kira said whispering into her ear

"But I want to be adventurous" She thought to herself, immediately Lacus shook the thought from her mind

"Tell yourself to calm down" she said still feeling Kira's member pressing against her

"Yes" he replied, dumbfounded by the response Lacus asked "Yes to what?"

"Yes to going on that hiking trail with you"

Lacus smiled.

"What time is it?" Lacus said pointing at Kira's wristwatch

"1:56" Kira replied oblivious to the time

"We need to get going!" Lacus cried out in panic, she quickly grabbed hold of Kira's hand and started running towards the buses.

"If you didn't pull what you pulled back there we wouldn't be rushing now" exclaimed Lacus replaying the events in her mind.

"I couldn't help it. Healthy adolescent sex drive?" Kira said grinning

"Shut up" the girl said in embarrassment. They ran until they made it to the bus doors, awaiting for them was Mr. Tambo waiting for their arrival

"Just on time you two" he said boarding the bus after them. Out of breath the two found the one single empty seat left on the bus, crashing down onto it from the exercise the two had to endure.

"Took you guys long enough" Cagalli said from the seat across from them

"First you leave TomTom and I behind, then you almost come late"

"It was all Kira's fault" Lacus said voicing her frustrations to Cagalli and Tom who sad beside her

Kira shrugged raising his hands in 'confusion'. He tried wrapping his arms around Lacus which she forcefully objected to. He pulled her in and place his head on her shoulder "Are you mad at me?" he asked

"Yes I am" Lacus said shaking free from his grasp

Kira lowered his head "Sorry" he said scooting over to the window, resting his head on the glass with a frown etched on his face.

Cagalli raised one eyebrow "What exactly happened?" she muttered out loud, only audible to Tom who sat beside her, the boy shrugged "I think we should just leave them" his remark was met by a simple nod "Good idea"

The teachers took attendance and made sure that everyone who came on the trip was on the bus ready to leave the museum, after doing so they signalled to the bus driver and the bus got going on its journey back to school. As the bus roared down the road everyone else was talking up a storm, some were trading notes, and others were going over the information they gathered coming up with a plan as how they could possibly present the information they got from their go around of the museum.

"What did I do wrong?" he asked himself

"You know what you did wrong" Lacus said still frustrated at Kira

I was just kidding" Lacus responded kissing him on the cheek "I love what you did" she whispered seductively into his ear.

"Now that's mean" Kira said pinching her nose.

"Sorry" Lacus said sitting herself in Kira's arms, allowing him to embrace her. Which he so happily did. She had hoped that Kira would act all cute with her, but what he didn't Lacus looked up at him, and saw his eyes locked on the outside "What's wrong?" Lacus asked worryingly, as she squeezed Kira's hand.

"What would you say, if I told you I wanted to die?"
