Heavens
Lightning flashed across the sky, only to be replaced by white flames of an explosion. Splattering rain on his face hurt. Sparks of electricity danced before his eyes. He didn't quite smell anything. Everything he saw, he saw through muddy haze of blurring colors and red hot anger.
Pink-chan jumps up and down on his bed until Navy-chan bullies it down and the great mass of toys roll out of the pavilion.
Lightning flashed across dark skies, rain platters on his screens. Red danced before his eyes. He lashed out at it. He felt rage, boiling in his blood. Again, white light of an explosion.
Glass doors slide open and Lacus and Pink-chan come back inside, bringing a tray of tea and cookies with them.
He saw lightning flash and he couldn't tell if it was artificial, created from machines, or if it was from the heavens. He felt his muscles burn, his head was smashed under white hot fury. Grief and hate and the strain of combat. And red flashed across his vision and he saw it move and white hot flames swallowed his mind.
"Athrun….," he asks,"...Did I…. ?" He feels numb already, but he isn't quite sure what he'd do if…"Is…he…..alive?"
Lacus smiles gently and relief leaves Kira in a boneless heap like he has never been before.
