It was warm in that place. Not a sound was heard, not even the wind.
Athrun opened his eyes. He saw that he seemed to be floating in a space swirling with night colors. He felt peaceful there.
"Hello, Athrun," The newcomer looked up to see Kira. He was as handsome as ever, and he was shining. He looked like an angel.
"Where are we?" The blue-haired one asked softly. "Is this hell?
Kira smiled. He placed a gentle hand on Athrun's cheek. "We're in purgatory, silly. Was this your vision of hell?"
"Not really. But why am I here? I killed you, Kira, and I also killed myself. Aren't those enough reasons for me to be damned forever?"
"Even if they were, I wouldn't allow it,' replied the brunette. "The one up there forgave you, and is willing to wait for you. He was the same with me, and so we are here. Shall we climb to the top together?"
"Yes, of course," said Athrun. "But I want to rest for a while, and I want to be with you,"
"As you wish. Sleep first, then we can spend as much time as we want catching up on each other. Afterwards, we can start with our journey. Is that all right with you?"
"Mmm," answered Athrun sleepily. "Good night, Kira,"
"Good night, Athrun," said Kira with a warm smile. "I love you,"
Athrun grinned. "I love you, too,"
At last, the two became happy. They realized that their love for each other had always been there, except that there were lots of hindrances so that they weren't able to recognize the burning feelings that had accumulated inside them. Even while they fought when they were alive, they were secretly calling out to the other, hoping that they would be able to hear clearly. Though it ended with both their deaths, what followed soon after was much more than they could've asked.
They were together, and surely, it was for eternity.
- End -
And you thought it was finished. Well think again. I wanted a sad ending and I wrote a sad ending but people still wanted them to end up together so I did that as well. I'm sorry, Athena. It's always been my dream to kill the characters in a story. Hehe. Basic Instinct, I guess. It turned out to be happy after all, right? Right! That's it for this fanfic. Thanks a lot for reading. To all who keep on giving me reviews, I can't thank you enough. If you're wondering what happened to Kreuze, well, nothing that's what. He unexpectedly lost his strongest pilot. He must hate himself at this point. Wahaha. And don't even think about the Naturals. This story revolves almost solely around Kira and Athrun; so don't ask me what happened in the living world after they both died. Let's just rejoice in the fact that the two lovely boys are about to go to Heaven and live happily ever after.
'Till next fanfic, you guys! I can't wait to start it! Bye bye!
