Chapter 9 – Early Jealousy

After being called to the hanger Dearka and Miriallia broke their kiss and walked inside the Archangel, giving the beautiful scenery one more look Mir intertwined her fingers with Dearka as they walk back in the ship. Luckily for Cagalli and the others they high tailed it out of there immediately after the announcement and weren't caught.

The couple continued their walk to the hanger in complete silent. However once again Miriallia chose to break set silent. "You're a good kisses you know…"

"Had plenty of practise"

Mir did not like his reply she immediately stopped walking and removed her hand from his. Folding her arms in front of her she began staring him down "What do you mean by that Elsman?"

"Exactly what I said Haww; I've had practise as in other girlfriends. Just like you've had other boyfriends"

"Tolle was my first boyfriend!"

"And did you kiss?"

"Well yes…"

Dearka let out a big sigh and then grabbed Miriallia's hand and began walking. "Please let's not start of with jealousy issues you kiss someone before me and I kissed a few girls before you"

"What does a few mean?" I better be able to count them on one hand bub!

Shit she looks pissed…what did I do to deserve this?? "A few, you know just some casual date that I kiss goodnight"

"On the lips??" Mir asked stopping their walk once again.

"Well you know…you are kinda acting a bit jealous you know honey"

"HONEY!! Listen Buster, don't call me honey and I'm not jealous!!"

"Then why do you care who I have and have not kiss! Why do you need a number?"

"Because I gave you one it's only fair to give me one"

Yeah well your number was a little bit easier to admit "Well…Babe?...I can't give you a number because I am un sure of it myself, but I assure you it must be less then twenty"

"TWENTY!!" he's a whore!

Well at least she didn't get mad at the babe thing. Dearka quickly leaned in and kissed her on the lips. The he placed his forehead against hers, looked her in the eyes and tried to speak as sweetly as he could manage without gagging. "But you the only girl I want to kiss, all those other girls mean nothing combined when compared to you."

Awe! "Ok….I'm sorry…I just…don't wanna lose you to some other girl" she felt so stupid saying it out loud.

Hearing this made him smile from ear to ear "Nope! Just your luck you're stuck with me until were ready to kill one another!"

"Given our track record that could be soon" she laughed

They shared another deep long kiss before making their way down to the hanger. They chose to walk in silence to avoid further confrontations but before the joined the group of soldiers Dearka decided to break the silence "You know what we just had"

"What??"

"Our first fight as a couple"

Mir giggled and replied "You know well have a lot more right?"

"Yeah and we'll handle them all the same as this one."

"huh?"

"With a calm agreement and us still together in the end"

"I'd like that"

"Me too"

They joined the rest of the crew as Murrue gave her final speech to them before dismissing them for a final time. Miriallia, Dearka, Kira, Lacus and Athrun would all be going with Cagalli to the Athha Mansion that night, since they had nowhere else to go. Miriallia's and Kira's parents still hadn't returned to Orb since the evacuation, so they had to wait for them to return. But Mir was in no hurry to go home. She wanted to spend as much time with her new boyfriend that she could.
