Note: I have decided to revise this story in order to provide further
details for the plot and to introduce a little more romance.
Intro: It is October, Year 74 of the Cosmic Era. The uneasy peace between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT continues. The waves of change had begun as Murrue Ramius and the crew of the Archangel and Kusanagi became the first official Naturals to step foot on the PLANTs. Mix marriages between Coordinators and Naturals created some acceptance towards genetic differences. As Coordinators excelled in the academic field and in sports, Naturals once again tasted the burning intensity of envy. This allowed the Blue Cosmos, thought to be diminished, to regain influence and plant its roots deeper into the Earth Alliance government. The call for anti- Coordinators began again. By January of Year 74, the Blue Cosmos had more than fifteen million members. They even controlled half of the Earth Alliance's military forces. Their intentions now are to restart war between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT in another genocidal attempt to wipe out the Coordinators. With their bases stationed all over the debris belt, it seems the Blue Cosmos are one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal.
Phase-01: Waves of Peace
Kira Yamato was sitting calmly on his rocking chair staring at the ocean. He had been living with Lacus Clyne, Athrun Zala, and his sister Cagalli at Malchio's beach house for over two years. Off in the distance the ruins of the Aegis Gundam still remained. The kids seem to like to play on it. The gulls were now screeching to catch their dinner and the children too were hungry after a day of enthusiastic fun.
"Can't catch me," shouted an orphan named Van.
"Yes, I can," said another orphan named Mia. The two continued to play tag.
"Dinner time, children," said Lacus in a sweet tone who just emerged from the house. "Oh, are you coming too, Kira?"
Kira stared at Lacus. He had feelings for her, but couldn't find a way to express it. If she knew the truth of his birth, would she accept him? Would she love him? Athrun had tried counseling him on his relationship with Lacus. Kira had managed to tell Athrun the truth about him being born in an artificial womb, but he was Kira's best friend, not the girl he had feelings for. The thought of telling Lacus and being rejected was excruciatingly painful for Kira, so the only thing to do was to distance himself from her.
"I'll be just a minute," said Kira.
"Okay," said Lacus, "I'll keep your dinner warm. She had been hurt deeply by Kira's emotional barrier and sometimes would cry herself to sleep.
After dinner, Kira went out on the beach to take a moonlight stroll. Malchio was watching a report about the Blue Cosmos threat on T.V. Kira did not know how he felt on the subject as he was trying to overcome the emotional feat he received after the revalation of his birth and his last battle in space with Rau.
"I don't wanna go to bed," shouted Van all of a sudden. Cagalli and Athrun were trying to put the orphans to bed, but seemed to be having a hard time. Their relationship was quite ideal. The two had a great connection and spent a lot of time with each other. Kira thought Athrun was just a perfect match for his sister.
As Kira was walking slowly down the beach, he remembered Flay. His feelings towards her were of a friendly love, but couldn't help but feel guilty about her death. This too was a cause of his emotional distancing from Lacus. When he continued walking he heard soft cries. Someone was mourning nearby. He walked slowly so he wouldn't be heard. As he approached the source of the cries, he couldn't believe who he saw. It was Lacus. She was sitting on the beach with her back to a palm tree. Her dress had been soiled by the sand and now there were dark patches on her lovely pink dress. But she still looked as radiant as ever, especially in the moonlight.
"What's wrong Lacus?" asked Kira in an emotional tone. He could not help but feel pity and compassion towards her, as if this was his doing.
"I miss my father. I have no one to lean on for comfort now."
"That's not true," Kira replied in a very hurt manner.
"Do you care for me, Kira Yamato? Do you love me as much as I love you?"
With those words, the barrier that concealed Kira's emotions was shattered. All the things he wanted to say to her, all the feelings and emotions that were bottled up were now free.
"Yes I do Lacus. I feel I owe you an explanation for why I didn't return you feelings." With that, he began to tell her everything.
"I am a Coordinator born from an artificial womb made from my mother's genetic material. I was created to be the ultimate Coordinator, the hope for mankind. I was afraid of rejection and therefore afraid to tell you the truth. Also, in my last battle with Rau, Flay was killed because of me. I felt guilty for her death. But now, I can't conceal my emotions anymore. I love you, Lacus Clyne."
"Kira, I don't care how you were born. I will always love you for who you are."
Kira was speechless. Nothing else in the world was important to him now. All he wanted to do was to show him how he felt. He stared deeply into her eyes and saw the love and sincerity. He then knew that she truly loved him. They began to lean in for a kiss.
"Haro," shouted the pink round ball just as their lips were about to meet.
"You sure know how to ruin a moment, Haro," shouted Kira angrily.
"I don't think the moment is ruined," said Lacus as she took hold of his neck. She leaned forth and kissed him passionately.
Kira was startled, but he returned the kiss with all his love. The two met for a moment in everlasting bliss, looking towards each for love and support.
"What will the future hold in store for us, Kira," asked Lacus dreamily as she looked up into the night sky.
"I don't know, but we will face it together, as a couple," replied Kira who then took her hand in his.
The two walked hand in hand back to the house. The ocean seemed calm, the sky was glittering with silver stars, and everything around them seemed at tranquility. The two teens had finally found their soul mates. Lacus then led Kira towards her bedroom, but stopped at the door.
"Are you coming to bed?" said Lacus with a mischievous smile.
