Kira raised his hand to the glass pane that separated him from outer space. Athrun was sleeping in his bed with him, but he had never fallen asleep. So, that only left the sounds of his quiet even breathing.

He rose from the bed and walked over to the other side of the room, where his desk was. Kira reached underneath it and pulled out his laptop that he normally kept there and sat in the chair that was pushed aside from earlier.

With enough experiance in this field, he didn't have to see to know where everything was on his computer. It was simple.

He moved the cursor over to his journal and double clicked.

Slowly he began to type, but after a minute or two, he was typing very fast.

Journal, I know that I've always wished for Athrun to return to me, but not under these times. It seems the only reason that I can be cheerful at all now is because of him. He has been here for a day and almost all of the night. But, it isn't enough to have him here with me. I don't know what it is that I want, but when I find out, I'll tell you. Funny, isn't it? I'm addressing you as a real person. But, right now I can't really help it... I've missed Athrun Zala all of my life, but it still hurts even more when I think that I might not be able to see his face again. It all makes me want to cry. But, I better go. I think that I woke him up with my keystrokes. Love, Kira Yamato

Kira moved back over to the bed with his arms outstretched. He lifted the covers and was pulled down by strong arms encircling his waist. "I was getting cold without you, Kira." he mumbled sleepily to the other boy.

Kira smiled and moved to a more comfortable position in Athrun's arms. "Sorry, but I just wanted to update my journal I keep."

"So late at night?" Athrun asked with a small laugh. "Why would you want to do that when you could just sleep?"

Kira snuggled closer to Athrun's chest. Who knew that he slept without a shirt on? But, still at least he wore pajama pants to sleep in...

"Thats the thing. I couldn't sleep." Kira mumbled, dozing off slightly.

Athrun smiled at the sleepy brunette in his arms. He started to rub circles on the other's back to calm him down. "Well, you can sleep now."

Kira nodded and went to sleep.

But, Athrun stayed awake but the sound of Kira's breathing made him forget where he was. So, he drifted off as quickly as Kira had.

The next morning, Flay walked into Kira's room expecting to see the boy working on something on his computer. But, the sight that had met her eyes was shocking. He was asleep in the enemies' arms! So she fell backwards.

But, she had created a loud noise that woke the two from their slumber. Athrun had pulled a gun on her but he put it away when he realized that she was harmless.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked with a sigh.

"I come in here almost every morning." she replied with a deep breath. "Why are you in here, though?" she asked with a suspicious glare.

"Because I trust him." Kira muttered. "And he's my best friend."

"But--"

"But what, Flay?" Kira asked with a depressed sigh. "What do you want?"

"Nothing..."

"Then leave." Athrun growled.

She nodded numbly and left the room as quietly as she had entered. Kira faced Athrun, "Why do you have a gun?"

"I don't know....." Athrun muttered. "It's a habit to keep it with me, I guess."

Kira nodded and took it from his hands and placed it on the nightstand next to his bed. "What time is it, Athrun?"

Athrun paused and glaced at the clock on the nightstand. "Oh, about ten o' clock... give or take a few minutes..."

"Ten?!" Kira yelled. "I'm supposed to be at the bridge by now!"

Athrun laughed. "Then let's go." he paused as he looked at what they were wearing. "Wait... let's change first."

"Do you have any clothes here?" Kira asked.

"No," he answered.

"You could wear some of mine, if you want." Kira suggested to the other boy. He pointed towards the closet, "The clothes are in there."

Athrun nodded and pulled out two matching outfits with a smile on his face, "Here, we'll match today." he said with a laugh.

Kira smiled and slowly began to undress, but he stopped after he had removed his shirt because he felt Athrun's eyes on his body. "What? Is something wrong?" he asked softly.

Athrun smiled again, "No, nothing's wrong. I was just wondering if you might need any help, Kira."

Kira smiled again, "No, I don't need any help... I think that I should be able to manage changing my clothes, at least, without help!"

Athrun nodded, "Okay then. Hurry up. Don't you have to be at the bridge?" he reminded.

His comment seemed to make Kira move faster than he was before. Of course, he was already changed so he could just watch Kira.

"Okay, I'm done." Kira said, trying to find out where Athrun was. "Athrun? Are you still in here?"

He laughed, "Yes, I am."

Kira pouted, "You scared me. I thought you had left me already!" he accused. Kira held out his hands and walked forward, his hand brushed fabric and he patted it.

When he patted the fabric again, Athrun began to laugh. Kira paused, "Are you ticklish?" he asked with a big smile on his face.

Athrun began laughing again and he tried to move out from under Kira's wiggling fingers. "Yes! Yes, I'm ticklish!!"

Kira smiled and began laughing too, "We better go, this is too distracting."

Birdy chirped and hopped on top of Athrun's head. "Chiiiirp!!"

"You can come too, Birdy." Kira said with a smile. He reached down for Athrun's hand, it took him a few minutes but he found it, so he pulled on it hard enough to get Athrun back on his feet again and off of the bed. "Let's go."

Athrun hesitated, "Do you think I should go? I mean... I was fighting against you all." he said with a tint of fear. "What if they want to kill me?"

"Then they'll have to go through me first." Kira reasurred with a smile.

"Chiiirp!!"

"We're going, Birdy. We're going." Athrun said with a sigh.

As they neared the bridge, Athrun started to walk slower. But, Kira stopped. "You don't have to go in if you really don't want to..."

"No, no. I'm going in." Athrun said with a small laugh.
