Phase 2: Truly

Athrun...
/
Tears fell freely down Athrun Zala's face. His body was wracked in sobs as he hugged his knees to himself, sitting under a large weeping willow.
How ironic... He sighed heavily, controlling the tears and wiping his face. A weeping willow for a weeping child.
The scene between Kira and himself replayed itself in his head. His heart was full of sorrow and disappointment. The turned back was worse for him than a verbal rejection would have been.
He'll hate me forever now. He'll never want to see me again. What if he never comes to PLANT, just because he loathes me?
A breeze blew against his soft skin as two tears escaped him.

Athrun... Why did you run? Kira ran swiftly, his mind replaying the encounter between the two best friends. He misunderstood... He thought I was rejecting him! No, Athrun. I love you!
Kira heaved a sigh, disgusted with himself for causing the other coordinator pain. I have to find him and explain! Let's see... His hiding places. Hmm...
Taking
a moment to decide how he would explain to Athrun, Kira took off at a
run towards the one place he knew the black-haired boy would be.

A sigh heaved itself from the youngest Zala. His shoulders had stopped their trembling, his eyes were stained and blurry red, and he could still feel his heart breaking in to millions of pieces. So this is what real pain feels like... he mused. I had to much hope that Kira would love me. I should have kept my big mouth closed.
He stared off into the darkening shadows of the willow's surrounding caused by the slow setting of the sun. A small shake of his head and a nimble hand running through his hair was all he could muster. He wanted to scream his throat raw, but he didn't have the strength. He simply sat silently, listening to the wind as it kissed the hanging branches of the tree and whispered a lonely song.
Why won't it take me away
The wind in my sky
Let me fly on wings of gold
Above the world and it's pain
Make it take me away
Away from the silencing pain
I want to fly...
Athrun closed his eyes and let the words of the world and it's wind carry him off. He wanted the shadows to swallow him and the silence to hold him close. Just this once. Let me not think...
Little did the small coordinator know, his closest friend had found him. Kira stood at the edge of the willow's branches, letting the leaves flutter across his shoulders and neck. He couldn't move. Time had frozen just then, the pained silence swallowing him in it's depths. And the pain was from one Athrun. He let a soft breath escape him before he padded quietly to his friend's side. A smile graced his features when he gazed intently on the boy before him. Kira wouldn't let him go. Never.
He could only stare and take in the features of his one love. It was almost as though he was in a trance. Athrun's beauty had captured Kira by mind, body, and soul. Hook, line, and sinker.
Take me away
Show me how to fly
Let me forget
Truly
Athrun's emerald eyes opened slowly. Surprise crossed his face as his gaze locked with Kira's.
"Kira...? I -"
"I'm sorry, Athrun," Kira began, cutting Athrun short. "I'm sorry I didn't explain. I'm sorry you misunderstood."
Athrun cocked his head to the side, his eyes portraying hope, "Misunderstood?"
Kira knelt down on one knee, a sad smile on his face. He reached forward and gently laid his hand on the other coordinator's face, "Yes. Misunderstood. I would never reject you as I'm sure you thought I was doing. I love you more than anything in the universe."
A small tear tracked down Athrun's cheek. Just one. He smiled back and Kira pulled him into a soft, lingering kiss. Though small and soft, the kiss was the world to the smallest Zala. It was a feeling of euphoria. An electricity ran through his veins, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Extravagant was the only word to come to the youth's mind.
Kira pulled away from the other boy, leaning on his heels and hands, a satisfied smile on his face. "Love you, Athrun Zala..."
